A week is now past after attack at nightclub, for me it was a pretty difficult week because every night I still had horrible nightmares on what happened in addition every time I walk in The street, I have a very strange feeling, as if someone followed me wherever I went and still as if I was watching more closely. There is always this black car who always waits in front of my apartment every day and that I also find in front of the university and to be honest it's very frustrating.
I walked quietly in the street to go home after classes when I noticed that this man dressed in black was already behind me a few minutes before I left the university.
" I need to know if that guy is really following me or not. So, I'm going to stop at this grocery store. I will pretend to buy something and then I'll see if it's there too or if he follows his own way ", Ashley said to herself.
She really stopped at the grocery store and entered there to pretend to buy something and then she noticed that the man dressed in black didn't follow her at the grocery store but has followed his way, Ashley was extremely relieved at that moment so she left the grocery store a few minutes later to make sure that that man was really gone.
But then she saw again that man following her when she passed into an empty alley, she then began to walk quickly and so did the man too so she started running and so did the man again.
" Oh, no ! That's not good . Maybe that man is here to kill me or to kidnap me ", she said to herself, panicked.
" What do you want from me ? ", Ashley shouted with tears falling from her eyes when she turned around to face this man.
The man, surprised by her action, stopped walking and looked at Ashley trembling but didn't say anything.
" Are you here to kill me ? ", Ashley asked again, with a trembling voice and was shaking with all her body.
" No ! ", replied the man and then stated : " I'm sorry if I scared you ma'am but I'm just following the orders " .
" What orders ? ", Ashley asked.
" Well, to keep an eye on you and to protect you if needed ", the man said.
" And from whom were these orders ? ", she asked again.
" Uhm... From my Capo ma'am ?", the man replied.
" From...your... Capo ?! ", Ashley stuttered and then she realized that she had already heard that word " capo " somewhere. Then she remembered that it was Carlos who was calling Rafael this way.
" Drive me to your Capo immediately ", Ashley ordered the man while wiping her tears.
" But ma'am I can't do that. I can't disobey my Capo's orders ", the man said nervously.
" Of course you can and you will. Drive me to him or I'll start screaming ", Ashley stated .
" But...But...", the man stuttered.
" Aaaaaaaaah ! Help ! Please don't hurt me ", Ashley shouted.
" Shush !! Please stop screaming ", the man said.
" Then drive me to your Capo ", Ashley stated.
" I can't do that ma'am ", the man said again.
Then Ashley saw a man go into the alley and screamed again : " Please don't hurt me. Help !! "
" Are you okay madam ?", asked the man who had passed into the alley.
" Sir, please call the police. This man here tried to hurt me ", Ashley told him.
" No ! Please don't do that sir. We are just... playing a game ", Rafael's man said.
" No don't listen sir, he tried to hurt... he even has a gun ", Ashley stated.
" Ok now I' m calling the police ", the man replied.
" Fine ! I'll drive you to my Capo but prevent him from calling the police ", Rafael's man finally said.
" We got you ", Ashley said and then burst out laughing and finally said : " it was a joke sir. Sorry for having frightened you sir ".
" Agh !! Today's young people ", the man finally said and then left.
" Now you are going to drive to your Capo, aren't you ?", Ashley stated.
" Yes ma'am ", Rafael's man replied.
" Oh ! And what's your name please ? ", Ashley asked.
" You can call me Pedro , ma'am ", he said.
" Let's go then Pedro ", Ashley stated and Pedro drove her into Rafael's residence.
At Herrera Residence
" Where is he ? ", Ashley asked Pedro once they entered the residence.
" Maybe in the conference room ma'am ", Pedro said.
" Then let's go there ", she replied.
" But if he is there in the conference room, perhaps he is still in a meeting and we shouldn't disturb him ", Pedro said nervously.
" Yeah, I don't care . Just drive me to him ", Ashley stated and so did Pedro.
Rafael was indeed in a meeting when Ashley smashed the door of the conference room and headed to Rafael furiously.
" HOW DARE YOU !!! ", Ashley exclaimed and then slapped Rafael in front of his men, everyone at that moment was shocked and speechless.
Anger slowly appeared on Rafael's face, then he got up from his chair, dragged Ashley out of the conference room.
" Let go of me Rafael ", Ashley shouted while trying to free herself from Rafael's grip but Rafael didn't let her go until they arrived into an empty room and he closed the door furiously.
" Do you even realize what you've just done ? ", Rafael asked furiously.
" What ?! That I slapped you ?", Ashley said smugly with her arms crossed.
" Nobody and I say nobody has ever dared to do what you've just done ", Rafael stated angrily.
" Well, someone should have done it a long time ago ", Ashley replied smugly, still arms crossed.
" You aren't still afraid of me , are you, uh ?", Rafael said.
" Yes, I' m not ", Ashley replied.
" Well, you should ", he told her and began to walk towards her.
" Don't you even dare come near ", Ashley said but Rafael continued walking towards her.
" Don't come near me Rafael ", Ashley said again while walking back but Rafael continued to walk towards her until he pinned her against the cold wall.
He then put his finger under her chin to lift her face so she could look at him straight in the eyes.
" After what you've done, all you deserve is a punishment " , Rafael said with a smirk on his face.
" After what I' ve done ?! You should rather think about what you did first. You ordered that guy Pedro to keep an eye on me and to follow me everywhere? You have no right to do Rafael ", Ashley told him with a raised tone.
" Ah ! That's why you were so angry ", he stated.
" Yeah, that's why I was so angry. I was so scared as I thought that he wanted to hurt me or worse to kill me when he followed in this alley ", Ashley told him.
" Then I'm sorry Hermosa if he has frightened you. I just wanted to protect you especially after what happened at the club ", Rafael calmly replied.
" Alright ! But I don't want him or either of your men to follow me or to keep an eye on me, is that clear ? ", Ashley stated.
" Yes, perfectly clear ", Rafael replied.
" Now let go of me ", she said.
" Are you sure that's what you want ?", Rafael asked with a seductive voice.
