"Pfft… stop. Drive back home!"
Enrique peevishly ordered the chauffeur as soon as the car turned around the corner two streets down from his place. When he realized that he had forgotten to pick an important file from his room.
He jerked his wrist in front of his eyes and threw an intense yet scolding gaze at his watch. It did no good but added to his frustration. How could he be so irresponsible? Enrique angrily stomped his fist on his thighs as the car drove him back home.
"Sir, may I go and get the file?" The chauffeur obediently asked him.
"Nah! Shut up. I'll go by myself." Enrique dashed out of the car immediately as the driver opened the door for him.
On any other day he might have allowed the chauffeur to go to his room, knowing there were security cameras all around and no one could dare to steal even a twig from there. However, today was no ordinary day.
How could he let any man get inside his room, knowing she was in there alone? In other perspective, how could he let any other man lay his dirty eyes on her? The mere thought of it fuels an uncomfortable fire in him.
He jogged up the stairs in his powder blue three piece suit paired with a creamy white shirt, and a beige handkerchief rolled artistically into his front pocket.
"What the heck?!" He blurted out in utter shock. The frustration with which he intended to enter the room had a quick transition and changed by the anger of the new problem at hand. He completely forgot about the reason he ran all the way up to his room. And stood there completely stunned by the view in front of him.
The door of his closet was swinging open, few of his clothes were scattered at the foot of it, and there was no trace of her anywhere around.
"Where had she gone?"
Meanwhile, Danielle jumped down the terrace to the sideways stairs opening into the back arcade. The pool was filled with fresh water, birds were chirping sitting on the branches of the trees lining the little lawn adjoining the pool area. She eyed the guards busied in their leisure talks with the weapons tucked below their armpits. Danielle quickly pulled herself back and pinned her body against the wall when she realized the guard just caught attention towards her way.
"Fuvk! Has he seen me?" He huffed as her breath rate shoot up. She tried to calm her accelerating chest as she tucked herself further back on the wall.
"Whats happened? What are you looking at there?" One of the guard inquired his fellow who just broke off from their conversations and was gazing towards the pool area as if he had noticed some unsual activities there.
"Umm.. I sensed someone was there!"
He alerted the other guard in an uncertain tone.
"There? Ummm… I can't see anyone! Maybe it was an illusion!" The other guard said after looking in that direction.
"Oh.. yeah, maybe. It was just me. But lemme check."
"Ok. Go, satisfy yourself!" He said.
Meanwhile, Danielle thought that the guards get back to their chit chatting and luckily she didn't get noticed by them.
She heaved a deep sigh and moved forward, hiding behind the trees, which tried to fool the security cameras and guards. Little did she know, if a bird could not escape from his mansion without getting noticed. And she was a freaking moving human being, a girl Enrique bought to the house.
"Crap!" Furiously, she stamped her intricate fist on to the tree, after realizing that she could not dare to walk out straight through the main gates, considering the heavy security around there.
"I should have done my homework before taking this step!" She said sadly as the realization finally dawned on her that she could not escape from this cage that easily. Danielle had no idea about the alternative ways to get out of there. All she could do now was to wait there till the right time come and escape in the first instance.
"Shall I go back!?" She pondered as she began to lose her hopes now. The security was extremely thick and she had zero knowledge about the secret ways.
And what if she was being caught! Anyone came to visit or check on her and not found her in the room. She could not even bring herself to imagine the disaster she would have brought. However was there still any time to correct her wrong move or was it too late now!?
"I better go back and wait for the right time, and get to know this place!"
Danielle whispered with a slackened face now. Despite the urge to run out of here, she was so helpless that she could not even hide her sadness.
Next she was about to steadily moved towards the stairs leading up to the terrace. When a harsh and sudden herk pushed her towards him.
"Where are you sneaking away, huh!"
The guard inquired her in a roaring tone, his grip was so tight around her wrist that it'd have broken if he would have applied a little more pressure to it. He beamed inwardly upon assuming that the master would be so happy of him, as he caught his mistress red handed from running away. Not knowing he had called his own wrath.
Meanwhile, Enrique rushed towards the window in panic when his orbs caught sight of it slide opened.
"What the heck!"
He huffed under his breathe.
And walked out to the terrace where his poor orbs caught sight of a vision which fueled a fire in him and enraged the monster within him.
"What the hell are you doing down there!?" He roared like an angry lion from the terrace of his room and his voice echoed to far away calling the attention of people working in the kitchen, hallways, garden, and even basement. Everyone rushed out of the house as if a high intensity earthquake had shaken the house and everyone was running out to save their lives!
However only God can save the life of that poor guard and Danielle now!
