"I asked you a question" his deep voice hit me again.
I don't respond as I make a step back, still holding Sky.
The scary man furrow his brow at me.
"What the...." He muttered something frustratedly but in a foreign language I don't understand.
"Hey little girl! Where the fuck is Hunter?!" The first man asked.
I am practically shaking right now.
"Oh damn can't you speak?" The second man asked.
I remained silent looking at them. My eyes are tearing up.
The last one spoke to the other men in the foreign language.
"Wh.....who are you?" I managed to ask making them look at me.
"What do...what do you want?" You could sense the fear in my voice.
The last one took a step towards me, making me flinch.
He stopped on his track. "Hmm so you can speak" he said.
"Are you..the....the Russian men that are here to take me?" I asked in between breaths, my heart is beating very fast.
He furrow his brow at me.
"Russian men?" The first man asked.
"No sweetie we are Italians. Not Russians." The second man said.
Italians?
The sisters couldn't get me with the Russians and now they have sent the Italians?
Why are those sisters doing this to me?
I didn't do anything to them.
Oh Hunter come save me please!
"Who are you to Hunter?" The last man in front of me asked, snapping me off my thoughts.
"Wha...what?"
"Who. Are. You. To. Hunter?"
I clung onto Sky the more feeling nervous and scared.
"Answer my question"
"M-my boyfriend"
He raise his brow a bit.
"Told ya she is his girlfriend" the second man said smiling.
"Where is Hunter?" The last man asked.
He is looking straight at me and it is making me feel nervous and scared. He is as tall as Hunter and I feel so intimidated.
What is it they want from Hunter?!
He leaned towards me making me shift as I look down in fear.
"What's your name?" He asked.
I look at him.
He raise his brow at me.
"C...Cora Davidson"
"Cora. Nice name. Now Cora I hate it whenever I repeat myself. But I will do it again and I want an answer" he commanded sending terrifying chills all over me.
Cora obey them or else they will kill you.
"Where is Hunter?"
"I...I don't know"
He heaved a sigh as he stood erect.
"Please don't.... don't hurt me" I pleaded as a tear rolled out my eyes.
Sky made a sound showing he is scared too.
"We are not going to hurt you unless you tell us where your boyfriend is" he said.
"I don't know. He left few...few hours ago I promise. I am telling the truth" my tears are now out.
Hunter where are you? come please.
The first man scoffed.
"Seth he is not here. What should we do?" The second man asked the last man who just raise his hand a bit at him without looking at him but focus on me. He looked at the phone on the table.
"Is that your phone?" He asked.
I nod.
"You do have his number right?"
"Ye ...yes"
"Good. Pick up" he ordered.
Slowly I reach for my phone.
"Dial his line"
I nod slightly as I unlock my phone. Hunter's number is the only number I have on my call line.
I dialed it.
"Put it on speaker"
I did as I was told.
"The number you are trying to call is not reachable" a woman's voice spoke
"Dial it again " he ordered and I obeyed.
"The number is switched off" the same woman's voice said.
I look up slowly at him.
His jaw is clenched.
"The motherfucker is fucking smart. He knows we are here" the second man said.
"Fucking moron. I say we kill this bitch of his for a start" the first man said pointing a gun at me.
I froze.
Oh no.
"Diego, put that gun away" the last man said.
"It's best we kill her so that the fucking moron will know that we are not fucking playing here!" The first man said angrily as he keeps pointing his gun at me.
I bring my head down hugging Sky tightly. I was crying silently awaiting my fate.
"I said put the gun away damnit!" I hear the last man yell making me look up slowly at them with my tears filled eyes.
He is standing in front of the man that is pointing his gun at me.
"She is not the one we came here for" he said
"She is his whore" the first man said.
Whore? That's a bad word.
Why is he calling me that?
What did I do to him? To three of them.
"That doesn't mean we should kill her" the last man said.
The first man clenched his jaw but brought down his gun anyway.
I felt relieved a bit.
"What do you suggest we do Seth?" The second man asked. "You know the boss will be mad if we don't come back with that motherfucker"
Gosh they really want Hunter.
But why?
What did he do?
The last man, I notice they call Seth turned to me.
I shifted a bit.
"Since Hunter isn't here, we are taking what belongs to him."
My eyes widened.
What?
"Bring her" the last thing he said before walking away.
The two men began walking towards me.
"No please" I cried as I make steps back. Sky cried too but the two strong men grabbed my both arm and dragged me away with them.
I cried but they held me tightly.
I am still holding Sky while they dragged me out of the house. Outside, I see a big black car and that man, Seth, is seated in front with his black shades on. He is looking ahead caring less.
We got to the car and the two men threw me into the back seat and entered with me.
"Pl....please sir, let...let me go....I haven't done anything" I begged.
"Shut the fuck up!" The first man snapped making me flinch.
The car engine started and we drove. off.
"Get rid of that dog" the second one said.
My heart dropped
"No no please" I pleaded as the first man, they call Diego grabbed hold of Sky."
I said shut up you little bitch!" He snapped at me again.
Oh no.
"Leave the dog" Seth ordered."Seriously Seth this is....""You know I fucking hate repeating myself" Seth cut him off.Diego released Sky aggressively. Sky quickly clung on me and i hugged him tightly."This is ridiculous" Diego muttered."Wh ....where are you taking me?" I stuttered nervously."Another word from you again and I will shoot you and your filthy dog" Diego said with all seriousness.Shivers washed me as i hug Sky looking down.I won't dare utter another word again because he is dead serious about shooting Sky and I.Hunter where are you please?Come for me I beg you.I don't know where they are taking me.I am not sure if I am going to come out of this alive.They didn't even allow me take my phone with me.Oh Sky.I look at him. He looks so scared.I kiss his temple.I wish I could tell him not to scared.But this man threatened to kill us if I speak.Oh God what is going on?Please send Hunter to me God. Please.More tears rushed out of my eyes as I cried silently.I
SethArghhhhh!""For the last time Patrick, who are you working for?" I asked for the hundredth time and this fucker still doesn't to give me an answer. "No one..... please....stop" he cried reacting to the pain I am inflicting on him.He is tied up to a chair, has no shirt on but trousers and blood is filled on his body. That's because I am hitting him with one of my favourite toys that looks like a cane but it is a metal one. It can cause a very agonizing pain.But I guess it isn't causing enough because this idiot has refused to talk!"Let's just kill him already Seth" Diego who is standing beside us said."No we need to know who sent him first" Martin said."But we have been torturing him for almost an hour now and he has refused to speak. Bury some bullet in his head already " Diego said. "No please!" Patrick cried."Diego can you for once stop thinking about your gun?" I asked glaring at him, making him keep calm.I look back at Patrick. His eyes are swollen up as a result of
But he prefer being called East. That is because he would always head towards the east side of the streets to hide whenever the cops were after him. They never looked for him there because the east was a set apart area at that time. No one dared to go their. Not even the police. Everyone was scared about that place.The east part of Alberto street.A dark mystery was behind that place.But East went there one day because he had no choice. He couldn't afford getting caught by the police.Another day again, he went there.Then another.And another.Till he made the place his secret liar.He loved the place. I guess the place loved him too cause all the things we believe to happen to anyone that goes there, never happened to him.We have heard rumours about people that died or was struck with sickness after going there.But nothing happened to East.He named himself East.He hated the name, Alessandro.Mainly because it was our mother that named him.He hates her so much.Way more that I
CoraI remember it like it was yesterday.Flash back********************I was running as fast as I could. I never knew I could run like this. But I guess when it's about life, your legs can carry you beyond your expectation.All I could hear was,"Get her!"Voices of the security men here and there. I can't tell how many were after me because I didn't dare look back.I kept running.My heart was beating incredibly fast. The thought of getting caught was giving me terrifying chills.I ran till I entered the road, appearing in front of an approaching blue car making the driver stop with impulse and few inches close to me. He almost knocked me down.I was beyond terrified.I stood there, lost into space. I saw my life flashing before my eyes. I can't even move my feet. Next I felt someone touch my shoulder, snatching me out of my trance.I look at him. He is tall and handsome. His blue eyes are so pretty that it took my worries away for a moment. His two hands are on my shoulders and
I am still not looking at him but I am so terrified by his presence."You will be working for us till that sick bastard boyfriend of yours pay me back what he owes me." He said coldly.Why would Hunter owe such a man money?!"You have two months collateral " He said making me froze..Two months for wha....."After two months and your boyfriend doesn't pay, I will kill you" he snarled.My heart dropped."East..." Seth called."So pray that he comes before that two months is due." He said, ignoring Seth.Two months? Oh no.No."Give her a room"I sense the woman give a slight bow before dragging me out of the room.He words sang in my head.Two months!Two months to work here till Hunter pays.From the look of things, he must be owing these people a lot of money. And I don't think Hunter has it. That means I have just two months to live!Two months!Oh God help me.I want Hunter.Send him to me like you did before please!Don't ignore me God please!We got to a door where the woman kn
Cora"Come in"I reluctantly entered his house. It's a mini flat, very comfortable and homely."Welcome to my home" he said as he closed the door behind us.I couldn't stop admiring the simple but nice house. All my life has been at the orphanage. The halls, bonk beds and all, i have always dreamed of being in a proper home. But no one was interested in adopting me.Now I am in this man's house.A stranger's house.A stranger who saved me."Penny for your thoughts?" He snapped me off my thoughts.I shake my head shyly.He chuckled. "Thanks"I furrow my brows in confusion."The look on your face shows you find my house beautiful"I smiled a bit."Come on. I'll show you around" he said leading the way. We went to the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, balcony and all. It is a very nice place. I like it. I like him. He is so nice and tall. And very handsome too.I feel shy and nervous around him.We are presently in bedroom. He is going through his closet and I am just standing there looking a
I quickly picked him up and mouthed sorry to the maid who gave me a bad look.I felt bad but quickly caught up with Lisa. She is walking fast and has her face up high. She doesn't look back at all.Nadia is right. Lisa is a very serious person. I don't think I will ever see her smile.We got to the kitchen."Good morning Lucia" Lisa greeted and I see a woman that look like she is in her late twenties or say early thirties, dressed in a white attire and a hat meant for chef.Oh I have dreamt of wearing those."Oh good morning Lisa. How was your night?" She said smiling brightly.It gives me a feeling that she might be nice."Fine thank you. This is Cora. New here" Lisa said."Oh""She will be working as your assistant"Lucia smiled at me."Go...good morning ma'am" I greeted nervously."Beautiful morning my dear. It is good to have an assistant! The kitchen is becoming chaotic these days" She said as she shook my hand."I can imagine" Lisa said. "Well the boss gave a strict instruction
EastSeated on my bed, popping out smoke. It's seven in the morning, the day is super bright, the sun is entering my room through the fucking windows. It's beautiful. But I hate it. I hate the sun. I hate it this morning, mainly because I am fucking pissed. Last night I called Mona, she gave me a fucking excuse. Like what the fuck? That bitch thinks I can't get a new girl on my bed in a second. Sucking on my big cigar, I blew out smoke. Morning smoke is the best. It awakes all the organs in the body. Tells them it's morning already. Standing on my feet, I walk towards the windows. The maids are doing their work, some of my men are busy with their morning training. It's a new day. And a busy schedule. My brother is out with Diego and Martin to take care of something. Some bastards had to invade one of my warehouses in Mexico. I am sure they are dead by now. I don't trust Seth with his gun. He has that human sympathy that pisses me off all the
