Kiara's POV

It was a very dark night and I was standing in front of the haunted place or we can say a big mansion. This place was surrounded by trees or we can say a forest. I opened the front gate, and there was this sound that comes in horror movies. I just ignored that feeling; after all, I am a strong woman, well to whom I am joking. One part of my mind was telling me to go away from this place but the other was encouraging me to move ahead.

After scanning the place I see from the right side there were stairs and in the center of the hall there were sofas, and there was one way on the left which go to I guess kitchen and next to that there was a door which might be a bedroom.

I slowly and steadily make my way to that door and as my defending weapon, I slide hairpin out of my jeans pocket. I shut the door open and my guess was right there was a bedroom, there was a queen-sized bed in the middle of the room and a cupboard on the right side, there was nothing other than this, not even a window, strange. I immediately get out of that room before any bad thought comes.

Before I can think I see myself to the right side of the hall, I make my way upstairs as there was nothing downstairs. Suddenly some sound started coming from the left side of the floor, there was a door. As I go nearer to that door my heartbeats increased their pace. I open the door as quickly as I can and...........

"Oh shit, not again!!!! What the actual fuck" cursed at my ringing alarm. I then realized that I am no more in bed but on the floor. Fuck to my dreams, but today's was better than yesterday's where I was kidnapped by some mafia and was about to get killed, but then alarm saved my life.

I sighed and went to the bathroom for a morning routine. After spending half an hour in the bathroom I came outside with an oversized t-shirt and pajamas because today was Sunday, so no work. I checked my phone to see any missed calls but there is none.

I went outside, to see Emma my best friend sitting on the couch watching FRIENDS show on the TV. Yes, I and Emma share the same apartment and same work station.

"Finally!!! Sleepyhead. People set their alarm early in the morning for jogging but you, my best enemy set alarm on 11 am that too for the family talk" said Emma to me. Don't get me wrong, generally, on working days I keep alarmed early in the morning but on Sunday at 11 am because at 11.30 my mom calls me on face time.

"Morning to you too! No, she hasn't called yet. Have you eaten your breakfast???" I said sitting next to her.

"No. Just drank coffee and some chips. I am thinking I should make a new best friend and move out with her from this apartment." She dramatically said to me.

"Hate me or love me, both are in your own hands. If you will love me then I will stay in your heart and if you will hate me then I will stay in your mind. But I will always be with you. FOREVER" I said in the same tone hugging her tightly.

"You and your cheesy lines. Now if you allow me to go and make breakfast for both of us." She said while gesturing for me to leave her. I immediately leave her at the name of food. She was laughing by then and moved to the kitchen.

After about twenty minutes breakfast was ready or you can also say lunch. I was then sitting on a chair and there was bacon, scrambled eggs, and pancakes.

After breakfast, I made my way towards the sink and washed the plates. And then the doorbell rang, it must be Kate, the third member of our group. Yes, we three are best of friends. First, we were staying together but for the last two months, Kate shifted with her boyfriend Jayden.

I went outside to see and yes it was Kate only. When she looked my way she was shooting daggers at me with her look. She came in front of me.

"Emma, do you even know what she has done????" Kate asked Emma still looking at me. I was looking at them sheepishly.

"No. I don't. Now what she has done???" Emma asked attentively. I don't remember what have I .....

"She told Ethan that you are not interested in boys but girls," Kate said in a low tone looking at Emma. Holy Shit!! Emma was horrified at this sentence unable to react to that sentence. Ethan is our boss, the CEO of The Williams Company where we are working, and professionally our bond is quite good. So he directly asked me, if I can help him. Okay now, this was my cue to run away from here.

I ran like a marathon for my dear life in this little apartment for running competition, now Emma was after me registering the sentence which was thrown at her. After her reaction, I was laughing and running here and there and of course, she was coming after me for revenge.

"You bloody idiot, why you just mess with my life always. I will kill you today like your mafia was about to yesterday." Emma was furious now.

Catching our breath, I slowly said "Look I can explain this."

"Better be a good reason otherwise you know the outcome of this," Emma said threatening me while Kate was just enjoying the show. I mentally slapped myself for pulling out this stunt.

We were sitting on the couch now for me to start; it was more like an interview. The hell with this interview!! I mentally cursed at myself. "Start. Now" Emma said still with that furious look.

"Well Ethan told me that he has feelings for Emma and I was happy, no actually more than happy, but then I frowned inside knowing he is a playboy. At that time I don't know how to react, so I just came up with this idea. I was just concerned about you." I said with my best puppy look face and adding "I strictly told him not to tell anyone in the office."

"Out of nowhere, you find this way. Seriously" Kate said trying hard not to laugh at that. Emma nodded still not in her mood.

"From where did you find this? I told him not to talk about this to anyone" I asked Kate.

"He called me yesterday for confirmation of what you had said, knowing you always pulls pranks like these," She said teasingly. Emma was looking irritated.

"And what answer did you gave to him?" It was Emma who asked Kate curiously. I wanted to laugh badly at her reaction but I hold it, I don't want to invite death yet.

"I told him the truth of course, and besides he genuinely asked me. I don't think he is playing around with her, he is deadly serious for her." Kate said more to me only. And later on, added "He wants to take you out today if you say yes" it was directed to Emma.

"I don't believe him," I said truthfully.

"It is not us who will decide, let her decide this" Kate said a little bit angry.

"Whatever!!" I said mockingly. Kate and I both were looking dead serious, not to laugh, whereas Emma was deep in thought. Emma uses to think a lot when it comes to take some decisions whether it is small or big.
