Somewhere in a poorly lit room. A man was sitting on a chair behind a desk in an office. He looked like he was in his late forties or early fifties , he was richly dressed and wore a frown on his face. The office was very spacious and well furnished. The walls were painted ash and the glass table looked like it had cost a fortune. On the wall was a medium sized picture of himself and the frame was made of gold. He seemed to be in deep thought when someone knocked lightly on the office door.
"Come in"
Two well built men in black suits entered the office and shut the door quietly behind them.
" Speak" he said tiredly.
"Sir, it has been done, we sent her the photos "
"And?"
"She has ended things with the young man"
"Hmm… a smart decision " the man said.
"Be alert, I want her to be brought in any moment from now "
"Yes sir" they chorused.
"Report her movements to me and wait for my orders " He stated.
"Yes sir "
" Leave "
They both left his office.
He picked up his phone from his table and made a call.
…
Few minutes after Benjamin left her room. Cassandra received a call from Antonio asking if she was okay. She'd said the truth which that she wasn't. They'd agreed to meet up. Not that she wanted to go out but she knew that if she'd said no he would still come and drag her out.
She dressed up and left her room and as she made to living room to leave through the front door her Dad called her back.
"Cassy, wait"he said going to meet her.
"Hey Dad, I didn't know you were home yet "she going to give him a hug.
Her Dad owned a restaurant not so far from where they lived which he usually didn't lock up until around 10:00 pm so it was a little surprising to see him home this early , it was just a few minutes after 5:00 in the evening.
"Yeah, I came back earlier than intended" he said giving her a tight hug like that would be the last time he would see her.
Her Dad was a little plumpy and fair skinned with dark brown eyes and she always loved his scent because he smelled like home to her.She didn't think much of it and assumed it was his way of consoling her over her breakup with her best friend and boyfriend.
"It's okay Dad, I'm okay now" she said not wanting him to worry about her.
"Yeah" he said "No matter what happens cassy, just remember that I love you so much, okay? He asked still hugging her tight.
"And I love you too,Dad " she said kissing him on his cheeks.
"I did to leave now, Dad, it's getting late" she added.
He kissed her on her cheeks and said to her" Be careful and take care of yourself cassy "
"Yes Dad, take care of yourself too , I'll be back before you know it, Dad." She said waving and smiling at him. Then she turned and made for the door.
He watched her still her figure disappeared then he slumped against the cushion and wiped the tears on his face which he hadn't noticed beforehand.
