An Expensive Joke
Remember when I said things couldn't get any worse?. It did.
My back hit the metal lockers behind me and I slumped down, till my butt hit the tiled floor.
The loud music did nothing to drown my anger. I looked down at the ridiculous outfit I was made to put on. He was actually serious about the waitress thing.
"You're bluffing", I gritted my teeth in anger. He chuckled, his eyes twinkling until they turned deadly serious in seconds.
"You should be thankful I didn't sell you off to work in a whorehouse", he seethed.
"I know what you're thinking in that pretty little head of yours"
"If you try to escape, I will find you", he spoke through gritted, his Topaz pools turning dark.
"Then I'd really consider the whorehouse, I bet many would love to have a taste of this", his eyes raked hungrily over my body and even though I was fully clothed with a jacket on, I still felt naked and vuln

A week had passed since I was forced to work at Night Owl. I had somewhat gotten used to my daily routine of waking up, having breakfast and sitting around all day doing nothing until evening, when a driver would take me to work and bring me back.Miguel had bodyguards all over the house, so there was no chance of me ever escaping.Sometimes I couldn't help but wonder what kind of business Miguel was into. I could recall that day in the rain, he shot someone, but I couldn't be sure, maybe I was hallucinating.I pulled out a business card I had been hiding and looked at it. Maybe he could help, but I was afraid of getting him involved, what if Miguel was really dangerous and gets him killed....
Conquering Miguel Pretend Fire
I paced the length of my room impatiently. I had the opportunity to carry out my plan since Miguel was working from home and his office would be unlocked. But there was no way to get into his office undetected and even if I did get in by chance, I was sure his computer would require a password to access it. I pushed and pulled at my hair, there was little time to get what I wanted but there was no guarantee that I'd actually find something. Was I stupid to do the dirty work for Stefan?, but then he promised to get me out of Night Owl to a safe place. Wait a minute He didn't seem surprised when I asked for help getting out of Night Owl. He should've asked me why I couldn

Conquering Miguel Prologue
It wasa stormynight that fateful day. The loud rumble of thunder overhead did nothing to drown out the screams of the woman in labour. A nurse wiped at the sweat dribbling down her forehead as her breathing became even more erratic. Her legs were spread open and the doctor placed a gloved hand on her swollen stomach, encouraging her to push one more time. With all her might, the woman pushed and the cry of a new born filled the room. A smile formed on her chapped lips as joy filled her heart. An exhausted exhale fell past her lips as she stared idly at the white ceiling. The new born continued to wail
Conquering Miguel Karma! Thou Hath No Fury
I jolted awake at the blaring sound of my alarm clock. Sighing, I pressed the off button. Groggily, I got out of bed and walked out of my room toward the bathroom. Opening the faucet, I splashed water on my face and stared at the mirror for a few seconds. I tied my Auburn hair in a messy bun and proceeded in brushing my teeth. Once done, I made my way to the kitchen first. My mother and I lived in a two bedroom apartment which I was responsible for keeping spotless. I scrambled into the living room after preparing a steaming cup of coffee for mother, leaving it to cool for a while. After cleaning the living room, I proceeded to the kitchen to make breakfast before mother awakes.

I walked briskly down to the bus stop and boarded a bus. In about ten minutes, the bus halted and I got down.Outside, I took in the busy atmosphere while walking down the cobblestone pavement of the street.I quickened my pace when I spotted the small diner I worked in ahead. Pushing the glass door open, the bell chimed signalling my entrance.Inside, I spotted Nancy, my co-worker and friend on the far end corner of the shop wiping furiously at a table.Her unruly dark brown curls were swishing back and forth as she wiped the table.Chuckling, I padded on towards the staff room at the back of the counter while calling and waving in her direction.

You know that moment when you're caught doing something you know you shouldn't be doing, then you feel like a deer caught in the headlights. It all moves in slow motion, the impending doom.That was exactly how I felt when I watched mother stand with a fear stricken face."Get her!", Cruz yelled at his bodyguard who stood motionlessly behind him."No!, let her go, I didn't bargain for this!", she protested, trying to hold the bodyguard back but he shrugged her off of him without effort.He stalked towards me menacingly and I continued to back away from him while still on the floor paralysed with fear.With a newly found energy, I sprung up and raced towards the front door and pulled
Conquering Miguel Survival Instincts
I could hear the sound of something thumping loudly in my head, but I could'nt decipher the source of that annoying sound.Groggily, I opened my eyes, blinking rapidly as my pupils adjusted to the dim lighting of my sorrounding. The incessant thumping still continued, but this time I knew the source of it, I had a splitting headache. Slowly but calculatingly, my eyes wandered around the recesses of the room.It was illuminated by a single red bulb and it was very dainty with a little vanity in one corner and a little further was a door which inadvertantly led to my freedom.Swiftly, I swung my body down from the hard mattrass I had been laying on for God knows how long.My eyes caught the bandages around my arm.Who would have thought?, they actually dressed my wound.While on my feet, I wobbled a little as a wave of dizziness set in. Quickly, I held unto the vanity to gain some semblance of control. As soon as the dizziness came, i
