"My God, is it a crime to work for oneself" Matilda asked no one in particular as she entered the apartment where she and her friend Victoria stayed.
"What do you mean by that? What happened today?" Victoria kept asking Matilda who was still going on with her monologue in her head.
Victoria Young, has been Matilda best friend since they were 5. Even Victoria's parents took Matilda has their daughter. After what happened 3 years ago, Victoria has been there to support her.
"Oh come on Matie, don't tell me you met him?" She asked Matilda who was still going on ranting to herself. When Matilda did not answer her, Victoria walked over to her and shook her bringing her back to her senses.
"W-what did you say?" Matilda asked stuttering.
"Matie, I asked if you met him"
"Yes Vickie, I met him. I don't know what to do. He sounded so sinister. He even told me he would make the most of it. God! Vickie I-i don't know what to do." Matilda ranted sounding exasperated. Victoria could only sigh and calm her friend.
"Don't worry Matilda, you don't have to work there. I would work for us." Victoria said trying to calm her friend.
"What do you mean I don't have to work there?" Matilda said sounding obviously displeased. "Listen Victoria I will work there even if it means I will have to see that man everyday. You have been the one working for us for the past 3 years while I have just been home doing nothing. Well not that it is my fault, I blame that shameless bastard for seizing my work permit just so I would work in that stupid restaurant of his. Look Vickie I am not going to run away from him. I will make him pay for everything he has done to me. For everything he took away from me. I swear to the heavens." Matilda said with such intensity and anger that Victoria could only keep quiet knowing fully well how stubborn this her friend was.
"Ok Victoria, I will support you. Please if you ever need my help, don't hesitate to tell me." Victoria said giving assurance to Matilda. With that being said, the two hugged and prepared to sleep. Outside, just a few metres away, a black car was parked opposite their house with a man with eyes like a black hole.
"I finally found you Matilda. So this is where you have been hiding for the past 3 years" a certain dark voice filled with malice spoke. And with that said, the black car drove away.
2 weeks passed by quickly with Matilda going to work and trying a very possible best to avoid Levy. That fateful day, after closing from work, Matilda was on her way to the car park when someone covered her mouth with an handkerchief sending Matilda into an abyss of unconsciousness.
Matilda woke up on the floor which was cold. She was blindfolded and her hands were tied leaving only her mouth open.
"W-where am I?" she asked no one in particular with a shaky voice. "H-hello? who is there? Levy?" Matilda called out thinking Levy was the one who kidnapped her. Footsteps began to approach her making Matilda still out with fear.
"Matilda dear, why do you always call out Levy's name?" a certain voice filled with malice spoke. That voice Matilda was sure she had heard that voice before.
"R-richard?" Matilda asked not sure whether he is the one or not.
"Hmm, it seems I was wrong. You have a good memory after all." He said sarcastically.
"Why? why are you doing this?" she asked
"Oh come on Matilda, you know fully well why I am doing this. Don't you remember what happened 3 years ago?" He asked this time he was un tying her blindfold. When the blindfold came off, Matilda looked up and met a pair of black eyes, probably the darkest she has ever seen. His white hair give a striking contrast to his black eyes with his black studs. This man was so breathtaking but he wouldn't hold a candle to Levy. Levy's beauty was out of this world. He black eyes scrutinized her with such intensity that Matilda had to take her head away.
"Listen Richard, that was then please let me go, I promise I won't speak a word of what happened here to anyone." Matilda begged
"How can I let you go my sweet. Come on I only just found you, at least let's play for a while" he said menancingly.
"Please Richard let me go I beg of you" she continued begging.
"Ha ha ha" Richard laughed a maniac laugh. "Oh come on Matilda, it really feels good to see you beg" he said eyes filled with wonder. Suddenly, the door broke open and a pair of blazing blue eyes came to view.
