Carrie
With unsteady steps I managed to make it back to my house, my head reeling with more questions than I had in the beginning. I opened the door only to see Charles standing there like he had been waiting for me to come in.
“You’re back late” he said, moving to take my bag but I shrugged him off.
“I’m sorry, we’ll just have dinner together some other time” I assured him before walking past him but he held me back, his hands enclosing around my elbow.
“My least concern is the dinner, I want to know how you’re doing” he felt my temple with the back of his palm.
“Seriously I’m fine, you already called me at work, you have nothing to worry about” I told him, beginning to feel irritated. All I wanted now was a warm shower and to bury myself under loads of blanket

I pressed my back to the wall as a lady passed, but not before I get a glimpse of her eyes that startled me. I closed my eyes and counted to ten before I opened them, watching a big bulky man pass. There was no way I was seeing her now in hospital hallways, it just didn’t make any sense to me. making sure that no one else was passing I back into the hallway and enter the office with Dr. Shelby written on top. He looked surprised to see me, his expression startled but he masked it into one of cool indifference. “I wasn’t expecting to see you Mr. Don” he said, motioning for me to sit down which I did. I was too exhausted to do otherwise anyway. I let my eyes wander around the office, the place always neat and arranged. It was easy to see that Dr. Shelby was an organized fellow and that meant

I almost had a heart attack when I saw Drew standing in front of my desk, going through the files on them. I wasn’t sure if it was the sight of him in that all back suit or the fact that he could blow my cover this minute. With careful steps I walked closer, hoping that the file I’d stolen from Don’s office was not among the pile. He seemed to sense my presence as he turned immediately I got closer. “Good morning sir” I said, lowering my eyes a little before looking back up. He regarded me with a nod, still flipping through the pages. I held my breath as we stood there, me waiting for what he could possibly find. With my palms growing sweaty, I cleaned them on my pants and glanced at the elevator in case I needed a quick escape. “What do you think of Don?” he suddenly ask

With all the information that I managed to get out of Frank without seeming suspicious, I dug deeper into my research. The file I had stolen from Don’s office did half of the job for me. It was evidence that the two families were dealing in arms and drugs. This was enough to put them behind bars and confiscate all their properties but no doubt they could have connections that would bail them out. I needed something stronger. It was already a few days and Don was yet to return to the office. I would never admit out loud but, it had me worried. When I asked Drew about it again, he asked me not to worry. But I just couldn’t and telling Charles about it was a bad idea. The door cracked open and I immediately shove the evidence on my lap down. Drew poked out his head before gradually coming out with a stack of files in his hand.

When I came to again, I was slightly better than before. I could see a face standing over me. when I opened my eyes, I saw it was Car, my assistant from work. What was he doing here? I tried to call him, but I couldn’t, I still felt numb all over. Did father send him over here to finally end my life? I doubted that.

Don is the enemy. Don is the enemy. I chanted in my head as conflicted thoughts plagued my head. Spending time with him and Jenny yesterday made me see him in a new light. And then he had been calling my name over and over again in his sleep. Was he dreaming of me? I shook my head. What was I even thinking, it wasn’t possible. But then the way he had held my hand and entwined my fingers with his. I remembered the way it made me feel. Loved, safe, and warmth. It awoke something in me that I didn’t even know existed. My hand flew to my chest, it was really fast. What was this thing that I was beginning to feel for Don? It couldn’t be just worry.

I was living a nightmare. No matter how much I protested Drew insisted I go with his wife for her birthday spree. It was beginning to feel like he had brought me out of the office for this very purpose. It actually made sense. As our lunch came to an end, dread filled my heart. How was I going to survive being alone with Cassie the entire day? I shouldn’t have come in at work today, I should have called in sick. I followed them quietly out of the restaurant like I was going to be sacrificed instead of shopping. Cassie kissed Drew squarely on the lips not minding the people watching outside the restaurant before making way to her own car. I opened the car door for her, before entering through the other door. I sat so close to the window so I wouldn’t be close to her in the small space. I didn’t know th

Cassie called the office the next morning asking for me. I was wearing one of the white shirts she had gotten me and a crisp black pant. Charles had been startled when I got home the previous day sporting new hairstyle and clothes. I would never forget his reaction in a hurry. He was drinking juice straight from the container and the moment he laid his eyes on me, the contents of his mouth came flying out, luckily it was not in my direction. And then he had screamed my name. I laughed a little remembering it now. He had given me dinner when I was done telling my story, but he complimented my new look anyway. I left out the part where Cassie had kissed my cheek, I didn’t know what to make out of that yet. I was currently in the car with Cassie and Daisy. Here is how it happened. She called Drew a

Dumbfounded. That’s what I was as we stared at each other. This was spiraling out of control and into a messy situation. “You’re a kind woman” I answered Her lips turned down at the sides “You know what I mean and don’t call me a woman, it makes me sound old. I’m just 22” she said “23 by the weekend” I reminded her “Let’s not look forward to that” she sneered “I don’t even know why they have to throw a big party, I just want to sleep in and cry over my lost youth” I was tempted to roll my eyes, she was one to talk about lost youth. I had lost my entire life, but nobody saw me whining about it. “You never answered my question you know. Do you like Daisy?&rd
