Evangeline's POV
So I am guessing you are new here right? He asked with a very cool smooth voice and with a smile.
Yeah, just moved in with my aunty. I replied and gave him a little smile as we continued walking side by side, it really feels good to be walking with someone and somehow he doesn't feel like a stranger at all.
Wow, welcome to the neighborhood. I live around too but alone. He stated and I managed another smile, it didn't come as a surprise to me though.
If this neighborhood is as dangerous as you said, why are you also walking alone at this time? I couldn't help but voice out the one question that has been wallowing in my brains. I watched him laugh like someone who was already expecting the question or maybe he was expecting the question.
I loves taking walks to clear my head just like you and I am a guy and certainly they wouldn't find anything on me, but we both know that your case is different. He said smiling mischievously and I raised a brow in anticipation.
Different, how?
Well for starters, there are many things to do with a helpless girl like you in a lonely street filled with hidden thugs, I believe you wouldn't want me to get into details. He said and laughed but I only watched him with no smile at all Haven finally gotten the gist. I suddenly stopped walking and he noticed and stopped walking too, my head was already pounding again which I am beginning to think happens whenever I am scared or stressed.
I want to go back now. I said with such a calm voice that hid away all my fears, I feel like congratulating myself right now for not appearing frightened.
Seems like I successfully scared you finally. He said laughing still, funny he could be finding this funny.
I am not scared, I am just tired. I need to rest! I told him and turned back and started walking back to where I came from and he followed me with a silly smile on his face, what a jerk.
Hey you don't have to be scared, I was only pulling your legs. He said grinning like an idiot, I so feel like beating him up right now.
This environments are heavily guarded and no harm can come to anyone around here so you don't have to worry your pretty head sweetheart.
Sweetheart, the nerves. I have already told him I wasn't scared and I am afraid that I just wanted to go home and so turning back to resume my walking would only prove him right, stupid.
I already told you I am not scared,I just need to rest and that's why I am going back home. I started in frustration and he laughed again annoyingly.
Ok I get it but it is fine to accept that you were scared at first it wouldn't make you look any less of what you are. He said still grinning, well I am so happy that the jerk is finding my frustrations funny.
I wasn't scared. I told him but he shook his head.
You were Eva.
I wasn't
You were.
I wasn't scared ok, just shut up. I suddenly screamed at him and I watched the laughter in his face dry up and suddenly it was replaced with a look of concern.
I'm sorry. He said with a sad smile, I already feel really bad for.shouting at him like that.
No I am the one who is sorry, I didn't mean to shout at you like that. I'm sorry. I said and resumed walking and he falling in pace with me; silence settled uncomfortably between us making me feel like shit probably because he kept throwing glances at me every now.amd then.
I don't mean to pry but are you okay? You seem really sad. Fred said as he kept throwing glances at me as we walked.
Don't I look okay? I asked back pretending not to understand what he meant even though I know that my face still looks very sad.
You look very sad, sad enough to cry and I did see you crying before I approached you, do you want to talk about it? He asked with a note of sincerity that scares me. I literally don't know anything about this guy so why do I feel like opening up to him; it does feel right to talk to him but it feels very wrong at the same time.
It's ok if you don't want to talk about it considering that we just met, I just felt that you will feel better after talking to someone! He suddenly said and I glopped; Jesus, is he kind of a mind reader or something?
I don't want to talk about it. I replied after a while and with the corner of my eyes, I watched him nod.
Fair enough, I wouldn't pester you though I just hope you will be ok. He said and gave me a little reassuring smile which I shyly returned.
My auntie's apartment came to view and I sighed deeply not quite sure if I am ready to return to that house right now and to face Stephanie and Arianna.
That's my home. I told him with a little sad smile which he seemed to understand.
We could continue the walk and you can return later! He proposed but I shook my head in reply not willing to drop my facade.
Nah, I am really tired and I need to rest, thanks anyway for walking with me. I told him with a gentle smile.which he returned.
It's um fine. Good night then Eva, I will wait here till you are safely inside. He said with a smile.
Thank you very much and goodnight. I replied and walked off and didn't turn till I entered the house and from the window I watched him leave.
I smiled.
As I lay on my bed after shower, his laughing face kept appearing to me. Well it doesn't matter, he didn't even ask for my number. I told myself and closed my eyes to sleep and as I expected, I saw him in my dreams too.
Aunt Mina's POV
It's been 2 nights since I haven't returned home, well this is for the good of my family. Being in charge of a strip club isn't something just anyone can do, it needs many skills and abilities and luckily, i have them all.
Madam Mina, the new stripper has just been brought in. My secretary said from across the room and when I looked up, she was standing by my door dressed in almost nothing.
Ok, get her ready for her training then. I replied her shortly and continued with the documents I was going through. Arianna had once said that it was funny how I was also meant to so paperworks even as a strip club owner but we have to keep accounts too right?
There is a little problem Madam! Tina said and then but I didn't look up, I just continued with what I was doing.
She is a bit stubborn Madam and she is caus....
You know what to do Tina, serve her to the hungry dogs first. I said simply cutting her short.
Yes Ma'am, I will go straight to it then. She bowed and left my office while I sighed. My dogs are always ready to teach manners to those who lacks them in this club, I don't pity her though,she brought it upon herself. She should have just kept calm instead of proving stubborn.
A knock came on my door and my personal security Marcos peeped in.
You have a visitor Ma'am. Marcos said in his hot masculinity.
I bit my lips thinking about the hot sex we had some minutes ago and he seemed to know what I was thinking because he smirked arrogantly.
Should I send the person in?
Who.....
I trailed off when the last person I was expecting to see walked through the door with his men following closely behind him.
An...Andro? What are you doing here? I asked, my voice shaking with fear as I watched him sit down with a singular mischievous smirk on his face.
Mina darling, it's nice to see you again. You don't have to be scared, I came in peace. He said and laughed mirthlessly.
Why are you here Andro? I asked trying to make my voice sound as strong as possible.
You know why I am here Mina. You owe me and again, it has increased. He laughed again annoyingly and I almost groaned, what does he want now?
I am afraid I don't understand you Andro; I already did everything I was directed to do, what else do you want? My frustration was clear in my voice as I spoke but he didn't seem to care.
You have something I want Mina and I want it with immediate effect. He said and then signalled his right hand man who presented him a cigar and a lighter and I watched him light his cigarette and then puffed out a huge amount of smoke which scattered around the room.
What do you want Andro? I can't believe I am repeating myself again and again, the idiot doesn't seem to care.
A girl from your house owes me and I want her before nightfalls tomorrow. He said and Drew in smoke from the cigarette before puffing it out.
I have many girls working for me in my house so what is this girl's name?
She was at my club with your daughters and now she owes me. He said simply and continued smoking. I watched him trying to figure out what he is talking about. Could it be Eva he was talking about? Fear griped me all of a sudden.
She is Evangeline Wright, your niece; what else are you trying to hide from me Mina? You know she originally belongs to me now what is going on? He looks really calm as he spoke but I know better than to trust his unserious look for all I know about him, he is one to conceal a big plan and yet you can never suspect his handsome face.
Give me some time to get her willingly to you Andro please!
He smirked. Willingly you said? You know I love the stubborn ones Mina, what do I get in return if I am to wait as you said?
I paused trying to find a reasonable bribe for him but nothing appealing came to my mind.
Anything you want Andro, just name it!
He laughed again and then still with a smile started thinking.
Well seems I will think about it, but for now, can I get some pain relievers?
I sighed deeply after he asked that question knowing what he meant but without waiting for me, he was already commanding Tina who just entered to get him a stripper or a call girl.
Get the new girl. I said finally finding my voice and I watched him grin as Tina left, oh how I will love to tame the little baby.
Tina soon returned with the busty innocent looking girl who looked so weak and yet stubborn, tears kept running down her eyes as she saw the group of guys who were filled in the room, seems my dogs must have fed on her.
Strip! Andro commands her and then she started shaking from fear as more kept running but she made no moves to remove her clothes. Seeing her reluctance to obey him, Andro grinned evilly and signalled his guys to rip off her clothes and the quickly started ripping them off despite the girls screams. Once they were done, they all left to give their boss privacy and closing the door behind them leaving me with Andro and the new girl who has already been pushed on the sofa by Andro who was now unbuckling his belt with a grin.
What's your name baby bear? He asked and when the girl didn't reply, he slapped her real hard and she wailed.
I ask again, what's your name and you are meant to answer me! His voice was still cool as he spoke., That psycho.
Annabel. She said through her tears and cries and again he grinned as I watched him drag the girl to himself and without warning started his work on her and yet again, she screamed and cried.
This man is a psycho and I wonder what he would do to Eva.
