"so he saved you from a life-threatening situation not once but twice?"
Aaron asked
"Yes and that's why I'm doing this"
I replied
"You sure.... this is right? I mean I don't know why I feel like he has some other intentions behind this"
Aaron said
"Other intentions? I mean isn't this so awful of us to think so badly about someone who protected me?"
I asked, I do agree with what Aaron is trying to say here but somewhere in my mind I want to do this, I don't know why I have this unexplainable connection with that man that I willingly, want to get involved in his fucked up world, I ardently, want to get trapped into this,
I want him in a weird way
A way in which I, even myself can't understand Or explain...
"Surely it is but just imagine Sylvie?
A very rich, super secretive CEO who didn't even show his face to the public and always kept his and his company's records private, suddenly hired a girl whom he just met that day and unreasonably gave her the closest job to himself, like? Why would he trust a person he just met to work as a private assistant?
I mean I would never trust that person with this much privacy even if I was as secretive as him"
Aaron gave me this whole speech that left me speechless
"This does make sense but what if he has a good eye for trustworthy people?"
I jokingly said, raising my eyebrow in pride
"Oh please"
Aaron rolled his eyes over
"Okay okay let's not overthink about this,
Let's have fun and gain some experience and knowledge in two months, it's not like I'm trapped there forever"
I said
"Alright"
...Time passes...
We fixed my car and now Aaron and I are on the way to my home in our cars
My car was behind Aaron's when I saw he suddenly stopped his car
I stopped too and got out to check what happened
"What happened?"
I asked
"Sorry Sylvie for stopping like this out of nowhere but there was this question lingering on my mind the moment I sat in my car,
that I can't help but ask before anything else"
He said
"It's okay, tell me what is it?"
I asked
"I'm so stupid to not have asked this when you first told me about that horrific night but
Where was Mattie the whole time?"
Aaron asked
Really? He didn't know she flew off to Italy just that afternoon.
"You don't know she's in Italy?"
I asked
"Of course, I know that idiot but I surely know that she was here that night and even the night after that"
Aaron said
"What the fuck? That's not possible!
I was the one who dropped her off at the airport that day and then went to Heinrey's house at night."
I said
"I'm telling you because I chatted with her the night after all that happened on Snapchat and it showed her location "Los Angeles" that night, of course, you wouldn't know because you hardly use Snap"
He said
"This can't be true, that app must be glitching"
I said in total disbelief
"Might be? Because the thought of Mattie not protecting you and letting you go through all that and still not doing anything when you signed off this stupid 2-month contract with an unknown CEO just doesn't sit right with me"
Aaron said
"Well- she... don't know about this whole CEO saving me and all that thing"
I said as I looked away because I knew he'd get super upset after hearing this
"Mattie doesn't know? WHAT?"
Aaron yelled
"Mattie doesn't know about any of this"
I said still looking down
I never do anything without telling or asking Mattie, she's the one who always tells me what to do and what to not and I knew that she'd get mad at me and return to LA immediately, leaving her sick father and everything there,
That's why I'm not telling her anything.
because she just never listens to me and does anything to protect me like a child, but I don't want her protection anymore.
I want Mattie to live her life for herself too, I don't want to hold her back, I have to face problems on my own without bothering her
I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly a big hardcover book hit my head
"THE FUCK AARON?"
I screamed
"I'm talking to you. You! clueless idiot, where are your thoughts?
I Can't fucking believe that you're putting
yourself in so much danger by signing off yourself to a stranger without even telling your closest friend about this"
Aaron started yelling at me
"Danger? What do you even mean by that?!"
I yelled back
"What do I mean-
Sylvie! How can you even believe him?
What if he does something horrible to you?"
He asked
"What? You were the one who was just telling me how great that company is and how you want to get inside a company like that too."
I said
"I was saying this without knowing the whole truth, I thought you were the one who applied for it and got into it by yourself.
I didn't know all that fucking too perfect to not be sus fairytale"
Aaron yelled again
"Well there's no need to worry that much he seems genuine and I trust him also I hope you don't tell Mattie all this"
I replied back
"Trust him? Why? And why should I not tell Mattie?"
Aaron bombarded me with all these questions
"Why would I don't trust him? That gentleman saved my dignity and my life!"
I exclaimed
"I can't believe this!"
He scoffed
"Repaying KINDNESS? I don't think any gentleman would ever tell someone to be his slave for fucking 2 months to repay his kindness and bullshit
He's a clear walking red flag, can't you see?
Also, answer me why should I not tell all this to Mattie?"
Aaron started arguing again While fuming in anger
"He's not! Stop telling me what to do and what to not, I'm sick of it, let me do something by myself, and about Mattie, this right here is the exact reason why I'm not telling her anything.
You know how she is, she will leave everything and come running here if she knows all this and I don't want that! Please I will handle all this!"
I screamed and started walking away to my car
"So now you're going to hide all this just because of a man you met not even a week ago?
Do you think Mattie won't eventually find out?
We're just worried for you that's all"
He shouted
"And this is what I don't want.
Please both of you stop worrying for me
I'm not a fucking kid"
I drove off before he could say something
I can't even see the road properly because I'm tearing up right now
Seriously? Why do both of them care about my life so much?
They always say I'm sick and this or that
And treat me as if I'm some infant who can't do things on my own.
Mattie also always makes me take anti-anxiety and depression pills that I don't even need any more
I stopped eating all those pills ever since she left.
I reached my home and just when I was about to park my car...
I felt a very strong sensation in my head
It's like a nerve-wracking pain
"Damn it's hurting...madly in
I feel like I'll go insane-"
My head was spinning so much that I barely made it out of the car, that is still outside the gate
"Help- ah" my head is spinning...
I can't bring myself to even stand up right now
Only one name is surrounding my head with some weird flashbacks
But the voice and those visions are so blurry that I can't understand anything
I heard someone's voice but at the same time I saw myself standing in a dark room, all chained up
"What... what is this?"
I mumbled in despair
I'm right in front of the gate but I can't even crawl inside let alone walk
I suddenly had another flashback
I saw my hands in rough metal handcuffs
Ugh, my head is spinning like crazy...
I feel like I'll faint right here soon
But what are these weird flashbacks, is this my life?...
"Is t-this the past that I don't remember?-"
I murmured
I again heard someone's voice calling my name
"Sylvie my love! you're looking so beautiful I love it!"
Who said that?...
I was suddenly hit with another skull-crashing pain
And now I quite vaguely but at the same time quite evidently saw myself kneeling in a beautiful white dress and a man in front of me have a belt that was attached to his collar
It seems like a dog's collar but wait-
Why am I wearing this?
He came closer to me and dragged me to the bed with that collar chained my legs down in bed and handcuffed me over my head
This is the first time that I had such a long and clear flashback or is it?
Is this just my imagination or my real life?
I honestly don't know anymore
I again heard a voice
"Look how graceful you are even after being chained up like this," that man said as he started to choke me using his hands but I-
I'm not screaming or doing anything here.
Even though I'm feeling physical pain just by seeing this
"Ah I love the perfection you are sweetheart"
He moaned as he leaned closer and kissed my forehead
But Who's this person? why can't I see his face?...
...And that was it
I was hit with a heart-wrenching pain again and I ended up fainting in front of my gates...
...time passes...
I woke up and saw myself in the hospital
Is this real or is it something going on in my head too?
I finally realized that it was a bitter reality when I saw the demon himself standing in front of me...
Heinrey..
