When the drink is gone, I go to the bar to see Benjamin is there."Hi, beautiful, I see you're there, why don't you call one of the waiters?" He asked when he saw me coming towards him.I smiled widely "Bored just sitting there, how are you?" I said and made him laugh as he handed me a bottle of beer.He glanced behind me and saw that my friends were on the dance floor with their new partners and laughed, understanding why I was bored."Why don't you ever want to find a man anyway?" He asked as he prepared another drink before handing it to one of the waiters who quickly brought it over.When I just shrugged my shoulders, I noticed a man keep staring at me from the other side, he smiled when he noticed me see him too.Sh*t!!!Benjamin only raised an eyebrow as he approached me and sat beside me. He keeps smiling that boyish smile in my direction “I notice you alone” He offers me his hand for me to shake “I’m Paul” His voice that dark hint and I take a look at his hand for a while.Si
“Vernon…?” I was relieved when I saw the figure of the man who walked up to me. But even though he was my best friend, I still hid my naked body from him. "What? What's going on? Why are you here? Where is this? And.. and.. why am I naked?" I bombarded him with successive questions that made him raise an eyebrow while looking at me as if to say 'did you forget?' Huh? What is going on? Wait… “Vernon… What is this place?” My eyes widened when I saw the man coming from the door. What the… What is he doing here?! Click…. “You shall go, Vernon. Thankyou” He said coldly and I tried to beg with my eyes toward my friend to not go and leave me alone with him, but he just shrugged his shoulders in defeat before cowardly left. “Coward!!!” I shout-out to my friend but he didn’t stop and just walked out of the room. Crap!!! Silence... No one opened their mouths to speak for a few moments and I could only try not to stare at him. Damn it, why is he here?! What exactly happened last ni
Ugh…The nausea and headache hit me like waves in the sea... I quickly pushed away Bradley's body who raised an eyebrow while sniggering before placing his palm on my head."Hangover... I want to spank your arse for that thing you did last night, you know that?" He said coldly and this time it was my turn to raise a confused eyebrow."I totally forgot what happened last night" I replied quietly and made him roll his eyes in annoyance.Hey, why is he upset again? I thought confusedly...Flicking my forehead "That's why, you forgot you did something stupid last night!!!" He said irritably before grabbing a glass of water and handing it to me with an aspirin."Um... and my clothes...?" I asked softly and made him glance over by giving a mischievous smile while crawling closer."Why?" He challenged me before looking all over my body that I covered with the blanket "What are you afraid of, I've seen it all" He teased. Bradley laughed loudly when he saw the expression on my face, which pro
"Dwyne..." I lifted my head and looked at Bradley who called out at the same time holding my hand in his, oh my God. "These are my cousins, they're here because they heard you were here" He said casually and I just gave a nervous smile to everyone, at a loss for what to say."You'll get to know and remember all of us, just relax" He added and made everyone laugh as if it was a fact that I would be here often and know all of them."We should talk" I said while giving him a serious look."Oh ow" Marco exclaimed accompanied by laughter from everyone.Ugh... Dammit!!!Maya seemed to be enjoying her breakfast and started talking to everyone as I stood up and walked over alone with Bradley.What should I say? I thought confusedly, as my adrenaline and courage disappeared.Realizing I had walked a long way from the dining room, I stopped and folded my arms before blinking in surprise as my body was quickly pulled away and my lips were quickly kissed by the man I was talking to."What? Brad..
As we walked back to the dining room everyone was talking to each other as if they didn't care about us and what the two of us were doing.Is this normal for them? I thought irritably, thinking that Bradley often did this with other women and I wasn't the first.Huff..."Who is this?"Speaking of women...I just realized there was a new figure sitting on one of the seats next to Marco. Two women joined the long dining table as if it was meant for all of them.One of the women had the same face as Marco, could she be his sister?Marco looked annoyed and raised an eyebrow to stare at the woman."Merida!" I heard Marco say a name that was probably hers.It was only a while ago that he said he wanted to make me his woman, and I realized that I didn't know anything about him."I didn't know you were coming, Merida" I tried to calm down and continue eating my breakfast as I heard Bradley talking to the woman named Merida.When I looked up, Merida was looking at me with an appraising gaze, w
BANG.. BANG..!!!!I gasp loudly as Gray pulls out a gun and fires at the man pointing his weapon at us.It wasn't long before he spoke to Vernon who immediately moved to the wheel as Gray got out and drove our car away from the spot."Vernon, what happened?" I asked frantically to my friend who was driving and worried about the man we left there.He looked at me from the rearview mirror and made me speechless with the way he looked at me.Could this be the so-called dangerous life of a mobster?Was this going to be my life because I was with Bradley?No one spoke until we pulled up in front of Maya's apartment, who kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye and then Vernon immediately got back in the car to take me to my apartment.On the way back, Vernon didn't say anything and I just stared at the scenery through the window.“Are you okay?” I finally heard him ask and just shrugged without looking in his direction.“I don't know” I answered him honestly.All of this was still confusin
"Quick, we need help! If he dies, none of you can get out of here on your feet!" A group of men dressed in black suits shouted violently in the emergency room carrying one injured man and seating him on the nearest empty chair. That man...I exclaimed inwardly and recognised the injured man in the middle, whose clothes soaked through with large swaths of blood. I studied his off-color face the second time...Yes, It's him. I had helped him on the street a few weeks ago. Forced. Then he disappeared like a ghost after that. I did not expect him to show up in such an appalling manner again. "HURRY!!!" The same man shouted when he saw no movement from either the doctor or the nurse. Judging from his movements, it seemed like they were all dangerous people. "HEY, ARE YOU ALL DUMB?!" Hold, Dwyne... Hold on… Don’t react, I told myself. "HEEEYYYYY..!!!!" One of the members kicked the chair… And I finally couldn't stand it either "Noisy!!! If you want to ask for help, say it nicely,
It's been the fourth day, but there is no sign of him coming to my apartment, yes, since I got that horrible message in front of my apartment door, I can be said to be hiding with the excuse of working hard by constantly being in this hospital and returning only to change clothes without wanting to linger there.Scared, not just scared but I still loved my life, not knowing who he would come with to my apartment, saying he wanted to check I didn't know what he could do to me, a woman who lived alone in an apartment with a gangster, nope never knew something good will happen about that.So I'd rather avoid it than be in the news for losing my life the next day.Hopefully, when he realizes I'm not around, he'll think of going somewhere else to help him open the stitches on his stomach.Click…"Wow, Dwyne, are you still here?" Dr. Patrick who was on morning duty greeted me as he walked into the doctor's room, I guess to check who the interns were.I smiled, "Do you need anything doctor?"
