Ava alighted from the car, she was so embarrassed that she asked the one that drove her to stop the car some miles away from the company. Ava had a short red dress with black heels on, Tyler had brought her a new dress, but when she checked them online with Tyler's phone there were all costly designers and her jaw dropped at the price tag, so she pleaded with Tyler to get some of her things from her house and he had the promise to do that after taking permission from Drexel. Ava had put on her eyeglasses as a disguise and then she head into the tall building. She first ran into a suspicious man who was looking her up and down. "Good day sir," Ava offered courtesy, the bald hair guy just mumbled something under his breath, ava nodded at him and stood behind him. He did not press any button, he only stood staring at Ava's reflection. Ava was shaken up but she tried to pretend, she so much wished Drexel had not thrown her phone away that day he kidnapped her. She breathed an air o
As much as I want to marvel at my boss's new show of attitude which I have never witnessed before until now, I can't afford to create awareness of my presence to the scary baldheaded man outside the office.I moved to the small area allocated to me for the time being. The whole floor was littered with several files, old and new. There were stacks of documents in one corner I found a space that could accommodate my size and sat down."Drexel Mason" the name keeps ringing in my head.A serial killer and assassin boss! I tried to shake that name off my head but I couldn't as time passed all my thoughts were filled with him.Why did try to kill me and then spare my life? Well, that would all be in the past now because I have found someone who I can take refuge in for the time being, at least.I will never go back to you bad assassins again! Never! I assure myself and curled my body around my knees and thighs.My boss appeared."Stay here while I try to clear the air and make everywhere
It's been an hour since Drex asked one of his drivers to go pick Ava up from her workplace but no sign of them yet.What could be keeping those two for this long? He wondered. He is sitting on the couch in his bedchambers with a copy of Mixed Miss in his hand, not a fan of books like that but he felt he should look it up and pick some ideas about tackling a woman's emotion and mood swings More than anything, he is fed up with having to endure all the strange emotions he experience a lot lately all because of the unidentified bond they share.He sighed and tossed the book aside, picked up his wristwatch on the table, and glance at the time- past six!She is supposed to be home by now. What could be keeping her?Is she in trouble? No way. If she is, he would have felt one or two pains on a part of his body by now.He waited some thirty minutes more and grabbed his phone."Damn it" He hissed out loud"I didn't even get that captive of mine a phone" he muttered under his breath. He remem
Ava's POVMy heart jumped into my throat. I felt the air in my lungs get sucked out, as I came face to face with the only man I have been trying so hard to avoid.I took a step back and held my stomach immediately "Ouch" I muttered, lowering my body the more"Hey!" The baldhead man yelled.I ignored him."He..hello, can I have my privacy I need to relieve myself" I lied, feigning to be in much pain.The man seemed to be unmoved by my front. He edged forward"You! I have seen you before, who are you? Take off those glasses at once" he said sternly.Fear gripped me.If I survive this, there's no situation I won't survive in my life. I racked my brain for what to do next but nothing. I felt helpless."Miss take off those glasses now or I will take them off myself" he warned and tried to move closer but I took a step backThis part of the building is a hallway and there was no one around. Right now, I can only wish that someone passes by."Stay back!" I said firmly, my head still bowed.A

Ava's POVI know how worthless I feel my life is but at that moment, my survival instinct kicked in. I want to live, to come out of all these alive.No, I can't die in the end after all the struggle. I will endure this and escape this too.A new surge of energy enveloped me as I gather more strength and increased my speed.Luckily I know this street very well. I usually frequented it back then, when I was still working at the Daily newspaper.I turned and took a sharp bend which leads to my favorite tea spot around here. I could see it now as I approached it fast. The light is still on and the 'Open' tag still hangs, thank goodness! Suddenly, I heard my name from behind. Who is that!? I dared not look back."Ava!" I heard again.No no, don't look back Ava, it is just a trick. Dont, look back. Keep moving" I warned myself and ignored the call."Ava...Miss...Heyyy" the voice came again, a husky and thick voice.I wanted to stop but I won't stand chance. I kept going as fast as my leg c
Drex storm out of the Daily newspaper building in so much haste. He has to get to the bottom of this all. The only thing still keeping his sanity intact was that he has not felt any pain anywhere on his body, which indicates that Ava could be in danger.He went straight to the parking lot. There, he met Tyler leaning on the car.Tyler straightened up the moment he saw his boss approaching with a stone-cold face. He needs no one to tell him that all was not or did not go well in the office.He waited expectantly."Where is he?" Drex demands at once when he got to the car.Tyler moved quickly to the back and lifted the booth to reveal a struggling battered man, lying squeezed inside. His face unmasked, mouth painfully sealed.He had his hands bound strongly behind, and his legs too were tied up.On seeing them, he began to make a muffled sound.His eyes widened in fear as he sighted Drex."You will tell me all I want to know or you are dead" Drex stated.The man shook his head and groan
Mr. Olsen's POVTHIS girl Ava! I have seen how dedicated and steadfast she use to be despite the meager pay.Unlike other workers, she always put in extra effort in all she did.
