"You Aalia?" he asked in a business like tone still studying me.
I didn't say anything as I glared back at him and simply nodded for confirmation.
He helped himself in the opposite seat while I took in his grey dyed hair, peircing blue eyes and black suit which looked more expensive than the house I lived in.
He put both his hands on the table , moving one of them towards my own hand as I watched his actions quietly. He was nearly touching me when his hand took a quick turn and picked up the knife that was lying on the left side. He slid it towards himself while smirking at me. I watched closely as he dragged the knife in his own hand slightly pointing it at me as if trying to warn me.
I kept a blank face , already tired of his stupid smug face.
" So let's get to business now shall we? You give us Harry back and take as much money as you like." he started.
"I don't want money" I said still keeping a blank almost innocent face.
His smug smile fell instantly. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration and started again. "Well what do you want then?"
"Umm..." I stalled just to annoy him a little more. " Idk his entire business maybe..."
His jaw clenched tight as he started taking deep breaths to remain calm. " Listen you little bitch! I'm trying really hard here so it'd be better if you come to a settlement."
I looked at him and compared my options. Either I could give him Harry and take money or I could keep Harry and get to stay with my boyfriend. I pretended to be deep in thought for a couple of minutes. Just looking down and thinking before a sudden smirk made a way on my lips and I immediately connected my brown eyes with his blue ones.
I laughed a sinister laugh that wasn't even fake because I knew what I'd choose. It wasn't even a choice really. Harry was far too important for me.
His eyes immediately widened in alarm as he pressed a button on his watch. He then leaned forward with fuming anger and pointed the knife at me.
"Don't you dare do anything. You don't even have a weapon on you. Right? " He asked in a tone that was meant to be demanding but came out as if he was doubting his own statement.
"Where would she keep it in that stupid floral dress and heels" I heard him murmer lowly to himself.
" I can't let Harry go." I told him in a deciding tone.
"Too bad" he huffed before doing a gesture of raising his hand with the keys still in it and showing two fingers.
In a fraction of seconds , multiple bodyguards came into view holding small pistols in their hands all aimed towards me.
My stomach fell down to my knees (metaphorically -_-) as I looked around and I wouldn't lie that I was scared. But I thought about HIM and put on a brave face. I slowly got up and leaned towards the man in front of me, immediately gripping his hand and slamming it on the table. He let out a small scream as his fingers pressed against the keys. The guards were standing at a distance so they couldn't really see what's happening but they got upright in their positions.
I took the chance and picked up my coffee cup and smashed it violently on his hand. The hot liquid burning his skin as the force made his fingers slightly crooked. Blood started to seep down in a matter of seconds as he screamed louder and all the guards ran towards me.
I immediately got into a sprint. I dodged and ducked from two guards who were standing in my way as I continued to run out the small door that led me into the street. The guards followed me as I ran as fast as I could. My heels clicking on the floor as I took a sharp turn and made my way into the alleyway.
One of the guards came after me but lost me in the crowd. He desperately looked around but couldn't see me as I quietly made my way behind him. He sensed my movement and turned around quickly.
But he wasn't quick enough.
I slammed my heel straight in his forehead making it bleed. Before I could do anything else I heard two other guards coming in. I squatted down and waited till they see their partner. One of them came running towards the guard I had hit with my heel. I threw my hand forward making him stumble and fall over the guy making both of them fall. The heel dug deeper in his head making him shriek before his body went limp.
I got to my feet and saw what I'd done. A miniscule smile made its way on my face as I felt proud of my actions. My confidence grew stronger as I ran out of the alleyway thinking that I lost all of them. But I've learnt it's hardly ever the case. So I made my way quickly and suspiciously taking sharp turns.
After around 10 minutes of running I finally thought that I was safe. My mind immediately went to the phone call I picked earlier today. My psycho baby would be so proud of me. I grinned widely thinking that he was also running away from people like this at the same time as me.
Ugh goals!
I took a cab and made my way to my house. I hummed a song as I got down at my house. Smiling and thanking the driver as I paid him. After he left I turned around and looked at the house I've started to call 'ours'.
I was about to put my keys and unlock the door as I heard a light shuffling behind me.
All the hours of learning kicked in as I started to hum loudly making whoever was behind me think that I wasn't aware of their presence. I jimmied my key into the keyhole and slowly moved my hand towards my pocket.
It only happed in a span of mere seconds. I opened the door and turned around, one hand on the door handle and the other in my pocket as I quickly took out a ninja star I was hiding in my pocket from the start. I took a quick glance at the man who has jumped on me as soon as I opened the door. I stepped back a few steps and slung my right arm on the opposite side behind my head before throwing it with full speed at the man in front of me. He couldn't comprehend my action quickly, thanks to his robotic corporate brain who thinks that guns are the only weapons. He couldn't even raise his gun properly as my blade ran across his cheek that moved to his eye making a spurt of blood leak out.
I cringed at the horrifying sight before moving forward and picking up one of the blades I keep near my door. I held his collar with one hand as I kicked his gun out with a high kick. I looked away as I moved my blade across his neck, slitting his throat and killing him.
Huh
That would have been much cooler if I slit his throat with my ninja blade the first time.
Guess I need more practice.
I quickly moved and brought his body inside my house, too tired to deal with it right now.
I moved towards the kitchen to have a glass of water. I was just filling it up when I heard muffled screaming from my storage room.
I let out a long exhale and drank my water in peace. I then filled it up again and made my way to the store room.
I opened the dark room and turned a small light on , which dimly lit the entire room. The room was filled with all kinds of crap and insects that made my skin crawl just thinking about it. I pushed the thought away and moved towards the corner of the room.
There in the dark corner sat a man all tied up and restricted with his mouth muffled with a cloth. He looked tired from the constant screaming and was about to faint. I threw the glass of water I carried here on his face, making him jolt awake and gasp with whatever opening of his mouth the cloth allowed. He looked confused for a second as he looked around before his eyes made contact with me. His eyes widened and he immediately tried to pull at his restraints making me smile.
I stepped back a bit before crouching down near him. Taking in his beautiful green eyes and short brown hair. He truly was beautiful. I leaned forward when he didn't stop struggling, whispering the next words that left my mouth.
"It's no use. You're forever stuck here with me.
Harry...."
Stuck here with ...Harry
Start from the beginning
