MELISSA’S POVI was back to Lord Daniel’s mansion, and I sat in my room, feeling down. How did I manage to get into this trouble? It’s just as that lady said to me that I would end up in a battle ground between both of them, and I would be like the grass that suffers when elephants fight. Recalling that, I decided to go to the basement and ask a few questions. I stood up from the bed, and walked out of the room. I looked left and right in the hallway, and tiptoed out of the hallway. On getting to the sitting room, I looked around to be certain there was no one lurking around anywhere. I knew it was because I was about to do something which could cost me my life, or make Lord Daniel torture me, that I was carefully walking.As soon as I got to the stairs leading to the basement, it felt as if a huge rock was dropped in my heart. I felt like my blood became cold.“You can do this, Melissa.” I muttered under my breath.I walked down the stairs, step by step, careful not to make a noise.
VERA’S POV Here I was, right before the college. I couldn’t believe I was sent to study fashion designing. Out of all courses in the world, I had to go for fashion designing. Somehow, I just felt it within me that fashion designing was way too low compared to what I could do.I had this feeling that I was destined to do something more innovative, but I couldn’t just fathom what it was, at this point.Anyways, I am thankful, still, because I could still manage fashion designing. It was still a reputable course, with a promising future. I walked into the building, and found the class I was to have this morning.I was late, and it was so weird as half of the class turned their heads to look at me.“Miss whatever, this should be your first and last time you come in to my class late. I am Professor Darwin and I do not tolerate both lateness and laziness in my class.” He spoke sternly, and I nodded, pursing my lips out of embarrassment.About half of the class laughed, making things worse,
Vera felt hopeless and like she was doomed. She knew how important it was for a lady to have her purity to herself, and it was obvious that these guys would still ask for sex some other time, and there’s no way in the world that she would be able to decline their request and gradually, she would be their underdog with no respect.Before anything else could happen, someone grabbed her arm out of nowhere, and was able to dodge some hits from the Pride Boys. Vera had no time to see who it was; all she just wanted at that moment was to get far away from them, without them having to achieve the bad goal they had of her.As they got out of the school, they kept on running, and this time, Vera had the time to look at who it was.“Who are you? And why did you save me from them?” She asked inquisitively.At least, anyone would like to know who their savior is and what pushed them to save them.“I’m Andrew, but I will tell you the rest of the details, as soon as we get to a safe place.” Andrew s
James overheard the conversation that went on between Charles and Louis and he moved closer to Charles.“Could it be her man? You know, recently, she has been acting like she someone has come into her life.” James said.“Does that give him the right to act this way towards the man he presumes to be her boss?” Charles uttered, feeling outright disrespected.“I understand. Probably he’s just scared that something might have happened to her. You know, when the love is just blooming, they act so mad in love.”“None of what you’re saying is helping right now.”“I want you to track the caller, and track his moves, just so we know what he’s up to.” Charles instructed, feeling uneasy about the call.He felt uneasy because he truly couldn’t get in touch with vera, which meant he couldn’t produce her to her boyfriend. He also couldn’t explain where she went to, because if he explained that she’s on a trip, she ought to be reachable, and no CCTV or airline would record her leaving the city or cou
Vera gasped in shock, and moved a few steps backwards.“I hope you’re not planning to run, because that would only aggravate the situation.” Charles uttered.Vera couldn’t believe he would actually make attempt to arrest her.“Charles, but I just said I didn’t do it, and I don’t understand how the money was withdrawn.”“It is boss, to you. And what kind of secretary are you if you claim you don’t know how the money went missing. Yet, you’re acting like you know nothing about it. If you must know, I’m currently highly disappointed in you.”Not long after he said that, a knock came on the door, and Charles urged the person to come in.“Boss, what’s going on? The cops are headed to your office.” James voiced out, looking quite concerned.But then, Charles didn’t say a word, and he had to look at Vera who was silent. Her head was dropped down like she was too embarrassed to face him.“What’s going on?” James asked again, in a low tone as his eyes drifted from Charles to Vera.“If you’re re

VERA'S POVI was lost in thoughts while walking back home. I felt so troubled, lost, dejected, and tired of it all. I couldn’t believe that Lord Daniel truly had his eyes on me in the school and what was more surprising was that it was my professor.Now, I was in trouble seeing as Professor Darwin was ready to destroy my life if I didn’t do his bidding.“Oh, gosh! What do I do about this?” I stomped my feet like a pouting child.“Is there anything wrong?” Kavon questioned, out of the blue.I didn’t notice that I had almost gotten home until I looked up at Kavon and then I glanced at the mansion.“Uhm… N…nothing.” I replied, then I walked into the mansion.When I got into my room, I sat on the bed like a lifeless being. Thinking back to when Professor Darwin asked me to have sex with him, I felt frustrated.“I can’t have sex with that man. No. There has to be another way around this.” I muttered under my breath as I stared at the ceiling.My eyes gradually closed as they became heavy,
“Do you think Andrew could have gotten into the right world and seen her?” James asked as he stared at the time machine worriedly.“Well, even if it’s a problem to find her, if he finds her, that’s good. But when he does, I feel the major problem is trying to convince her. You know how Vera is.” Charles spoke, staring into blank space.“That’s true. Even apart from her being a hard nut to crack, anyone who is appeared to, all of a sudden, and is told they don’t belong to that world, would find it difficult to believe. It’s more like coming to me right now, and telling me I don’t belong in this world. I’m going to put up a fight, and run as far as I can, from the weirdo.” James blurted out.Charles smiled because he was right. No one would want to believe a such a thing, not even him. It’s only a child one could easily convince.On the other hand, Andrew was still debating whether he should allow this happen or not, but he decided that it’s for the best. If he doesn’t allow her, it cou
