The sound of a heel clicking on the marble floor echoed form the doorway. Even by the sound of steps the man who had been impatiently waiting for the girl to get dressed and come back to him already knew who it belonged to.
For the first time he did not feel the sound of the heel clicking to be irritating. Rather he felt it sounded classy and elegant.
The door to the room opened and in walked a girl in a pure blue dress, slowly lifting the corners of her dress so as not to trip on them.
Finally the wait was over. A smile left his mouth but he quickly his it behind his apathetic face mask. Michael sat on the couch his eyes eying every movement of the girl the moment she entered the room.
“So you are here finally.” Michael threw aside the magazine he was reading, all of his attention focused on the person before him.
“Yes, I guess I made you wait long right?” Elaine fiddled with her fingers looking at Michael, her entire
It was a big ballroom, with colorful lights fitted at the right spots making the banquet hall look extremely lavish and expensive. A huge chandelier hung up on the ceiling, its crystal glasses glistening as it reflected back the light from other bulbs. The hall was filled with beautiful music and fragrant smell of perfumes and cologne of both women and men who were attending the birthday party tonight. Sweet and delicious smell of food wafted through the place but no one was interested in the food or the music that was being played. All the people that were gathered on the hall were businessman, actor and actresses, media personalities and celebrities. Everyone was busy getting introduced and introducing each other so as to increase the connection and networking for the sake of future profits and works. The man of the day, Mr. Claude Johnson was sitting in a comfy looking chair with a stern look on his face. He looked at the pe
“Who is that woman?” The reporter from a famous board casting company squinted his eyes at the couple who were walking towards the entrance, hand in hand.“Is she a new actress?? A rookie perhaps?” They made their own theories as they tried finding the identity of Elaine.Young artists used any method such as climbing up to the bed of sleazy old man get resources and roles in dramas.Since Elaine was an attractive young lady, it was only natural for them to have doubts.“Is she daughter of some wealthy business man or a business tycoon?” Someone else suggested and within a short time everyone was searching for her identity but in vain.People were negative minded after all. They tried finding faults with Elaine before they even knew her whole story. By stepping on someone else and by making them low they tried o uplift their status.“She must be a gold digger..Look at her dress..” A woman spoke
A loud noise erupted in the hall suddenly. “Huh!!” What’s that commotion about?” Aurora raised the wine glass, her lips pressing against the transparent glass. She had heard that Michael was coming but instead of him coming in all she was hearing was shouts and chaos. She had a bad feeling about this but she did not know what. Sophie who had been hiding in a corner to call Drake had a darkened expression on her face when she returned back to her seat. The relation between her and Drake was always lukewarm but lately Drake had been ignoring her more often than before. They had almost become strangers who only had contact when they had sex. If Sophie had not made him her body guard she had doubts that she and Drake would really become strangers. Forget about friends with benefits they would not even greet each other if they collided while walking somewhere. Sophie chugged down the wine and stared angrily at the nois
“Don’t be afraid..I will be here.” Michael tightened his hold on Elaine as they approached the crowded place with many eyes pasted on them. In their eyes were surprise, shock, jealousy and envy mixed. “I am not afraid stupid…” Elaine let out a merry laughter looking at Michael who seem to be panicking more than her. Was he worried about her? But she quickly waved off the thought. ‘Nah, that won’t be possible…don’t delude yourself Elaine.’ She scolded herself as she knew this day and his gentleness was just a mere transaction between both of them. ** While the young women were secretly cursing Elaine for being together with Michael even though she was a nobody figure in the party, the rich and young master of the rich families had their eyes measuring Elaine with their lustful eyes. Aurora was a beauty but the new girl before them was even a greater beauty. They could feel that she was still a young girl and from the fresh look on her t
Aurora looked at the smiling face with great amount of hatred overflowing. She wanted to scratch out her pale and soft skin that was glistening but she knew it was not the right time.Maintaining her calm and composure she returned the greeting.“Hi…Sorry I did not see you there..” She let out a smile looking at her. “Err…..May I ask who are you..” Aurora did one round around her as if measuring something.“Because I don’t think I have seen you before.”Michael did not want to waste any more time now that he had met the old man.“It’s oaky even if you don’t know her.” Michael her hand and turned to walk away from there. “We will be around.” He looked at the man on the chair who was fuming with anger.“let’s go Elaine.”Aurora looked with her veins popping out in her forehead and her hands clenched in a fist at the back of two
Michael looked around frantically, checking each corner of the banquet hall. ‘Did she go somewhere?’ He thought but he had no idea where she might would have gone even after he asked her not to budge from the place.“That stupid girl..” Michael was on verge of losing his sanity. He had too many bad thoughts about what could happen.There were many vulture eyes in the party that were eying Elaine the moment they entered. He did not want to think this way but he could not wipe off the bad feeling in his heart.He was about to go outside to check the garden when suddenly someone tapped him from behind. Irritation flashed in his eyes and he turned around only to see the wretched face of Aurora.“Want to join me for a drink?” Aurora held out a glass of red wine in a friendly manner.“Piss off.” Michael gnashed his teeth in anger. He did not care about his gentle man presence that he normally had.He
“What are you waiting for?” Jake was the one who was holding the ropes that bound Elaine on the bed. He looked at the boys sitting passively as they drowned themselves in alcohol when a beauty was waiting for them.“W-Who are you people?” Elaine stuttered to maintain her calm but she could not help stuttering, her voice shaking due to fear and nervousness along with the effect of drugs that was melting in her stomach with each passing second.Elaine had not offended anyone and neither had she had any connection to any villain like person. What more she was just a new face in the central city.“Looks like our little prey is afraid.” Jake loved when the other party was afraid of him. In other words he was a complete masochist.“It has been long enough. I am sure the drug is taking effect.” Jake looked at his watch and smile crudely.Elaine knew what he meant by that. Currently Elaine c
“XYZ Club on the fourth turning from here.” Diana gave out the location of the club. “This is the place where they had taken your woman.” Taking a sip of the cigarette Diana answered nonchalantly. But Michael was the one who was having troubles. XYZ Club was an infamous club owned by the Johnson family which was famous for illicit works and relationship. Although it looked like a normal and everyday club for rich kid, the inside story was a bit different. The fact that they had taken Elaine meant only one thing. Whoever took Elaine did not have good and decent thoughts on her. He clenches his hands in a tight fist, his nerves pulsating everywhere on his body in anxiety and tension. He did not have time to waste. Every second was precious. “Kim, bring out the car.” He ordered Kim. "Sir what about the party??" Kim asked a little worried since the old master of the family was also there. "The old master might angry
