Thanks in advance ?
? Kimâs p.o.v?
âYou should eat thisâ the guy pointed to a stainless plate and I just stared at him.
He moved the plate closer but I just turned my head to the other side. What if they wanted to poison me?
âArenât you gonna eat this one too?â He asked again.
âNo thanksâ I muttered.
âYou donât like it? I can try to get you another oneâ he paused running his hands through his head âit wouldnât be easy to get another one thoughâ he muttered quietly but I still heard.
âNo donât bother. Thanksâ I told him.
The guy looked at me with compassion. He pitied me,why canât he unbuckle the chain on my hands and legs and we would both run away.
I swear I was going to give him all the money I have saved if he untied me and allowed me to escape,but I knew it was impossible to leave this place without being caught. Many criminals resided here and I couldnât help but think of how many people were held hostage presently or how many people were killed here.
Was I just going to die like that?
This building was like a village on its own. More like torturing village. I call it torturing village because I might have heard some painful wails and distant cries from the other rooms beside this present ones I was in.
I couldnât help but Imagine what they used to torture them or how many people have been killed. Shouldnât the police come to places like this to help people,to help me. Who knows whether the police knows about the place and they were bribing them to keep quiet or they would probably kill them because these men were undoubtedly dangerous.
âYou havenât had anything to eat or drink for three days nowâ the guyâs voice brought me out of my distant thoughts. âYou might just die if you continue this wayâ.
I looked at him before giving him a painful smile âisnât that the point?â I asked.
He diverted his eyes from mine,the guy looked guilty. He was the same guy that Rodrigo shot in the car and out of the people I have seen here,he looked like the youngest and inexperienced one of them. He wasnât completely heartless,he still had compassion because it was there in his eyes. Even in my state,I pitied him because it looked like he had no choice but to do things like this.
But we always have other choices to make,he chose it himself. He chose this dirty job.
When he saw I was still waiting for his answer,he ran his hand nervously through his head again.
âI i d_ donâtâŚâ He stuttered.
âIsnât that the point? For me to die? I know I am going to die anyways so whatâs the point of eating? I am still gonna die. Look I have heard wailings and cries of painsâ I paused âI know I am not the only one here and I know one day you guys might still treat me that way. There is the shouts,the wails,the cries of pain and then silence,they die in the end so whatâs the point of all thisâ.
âNot everyone goes through that. It depends on the commands given to the bossâ he explained.
âWhy are you doing this?â I asked him.
âDoing what?â.
âDoing all this? Looking at you now,you would be around 20 or 21. You shouldnât be doing jobs like this, arenât you scared that one day you guys might get caught and you would be locked up. Arenât you even scared of dying? You shouldnât waste your life this way,you are still youngâ I told him.
He looked at me for a split second âyou canât guilt trip me okay? You are saying this because you are in pain and you want me to help you,isnât that what you want? I canât help you okay. So donât guilt trip me and make me look like a bad person, itâs my life and I want to live it this wayâ he said angrily.
I sincerely wanted him to help me but I knew it wasnât possible and I didnât say all that because I wanted to guilt trip him. I said it because honestly he was really wasting his life away and he needed help before it got too late.
For all I care I might die even though the thought still made me flinch but I donât want him to end his life this way. He needed help.
âI am not thinking of it that way but you need to understand that this doesnât suit you. You are wasting your life away and you donât even want to acknowledge itâ.
âYou know next to nothing about meâ he snapped.
Okay maybe,this was a wrong idea.
I should focus on myself alone,he was a criminal too. He would have killed people too and I donât want him to hit me or do anything that would cause more pain for me. My body was still sore.
âRight, sorryâ I told him.
âDonât go around saying things you know nothing of. I have nothing to lose okay? My life was a mess before Rodrigo decided to help me. Nobody wanted me and they all thought I was bad omen,no one wanted to associate with me, even my parents. So whatâs there to live for? If I get caught doing this and i am jailed or killed,I wonât regret anything because i chose to do this myself so donât talk like you know what I have been throughâ he explained exasperatedly.
He was blinded with anger and talking to him would be like pouring water in a basket, he have already gone deep in this,he havenât just realized yet. Nobody might have wanted him but he shouldnât still live his life this way. Nobody wanted him and he doesnât have himself either.
Yes he did have a choice but he decided to pick the bad choice.
Well I needed to focus on my self and leave the criminal guy alone. I was happy that he didnât hit me because letâs face it,he was the only one that have behaved nicely to me since I got here and I wouldnât want to lose that and make him behave like the rest.
âI understandâ I managed to let out when he was still moving in circles and pulling his hair.
The guy must had been introduced to hard drugs because it was obvious he was on something and that something isnât a good something.
âNo you donâtâ he snapped again and I clamped my mouth shut.
âDonât try anything funny hereâ he warned before exiting the room and I heard the sound of him locking the door.
I rubbed my eyes tiredly. I needed rest but I was scared of falling asleep and even if I eventually did,the cries of the people being tortured would yank me out of the sleep.
I was slowly loosing it here and I donât know how long I would last.
How long my baby and I would last.
? Ashtonâs p.o.v?
âSir,this are the documents you requested forâ the lady said and I rubbed my eyes tiredly.
I have been pushing myself too hard lately and I knew I was going to break down soon but I didnât want to stop.
I always used work to drown my problems but in this case it wasnât working. I felt bad and disgusted with myself and as much as I tell myself that it wasnât my fault and it wasnât a big deal that only worsened the guilt.
I felt bad that I treated her that way,I felt bad that I took her virginity away,I felt bad that I said all those things to her the next morning.
To be very honest,I donât know why I said all that. I was conflicted with my thoughts that morning and I didnât want to acknowledge that at a point I felt something,I donât know what I felt but it was like I needed that particular thing and I couldnât just give a name to it.
I left the house because I couldnât stay there without remembering the anger and pure hatred in her eyes when she looked at me.
She hates me and she didnât hide it,who wouldnât?
But that is the exact reason I donât feel good with myself,as much as I tried to drown everything away with work and alcohol,it still didnât work. I couldnât help but think of the last look we both shared and it wasnât a good one. She hated me and for a reason I donât know,it didnât feel right.
Most people hated me and I sincerely donât care about that but I didnât want this particular person to hate me. I havenât heard from her since that day and I know she wouldnât want to see me either,my uncle said her dad have been transferred from the hospital and I guess she was living peacefully wherever she was.
Because that was all she wanted,it was hard to say it was just business when my house still have that strawberry scent and the room she once occupied still had that homely aura even though it was now empty. Her scent still filled most part of the house.
I didnât like staying at home any longer because it just made me feel more guilty and I donât like that feeling one bit.
Most of my time was spent in the office or drinking with friends when they get me to go out with them. Nothing looked interesting any longer and the f—–g paintings where still hanged on the wall.
I sighed when I noticed i was drifting into my usual thoughts again.
I raised my head from the table and I still saw the lady standing. Right,she must think I am psycho now,I havenât even said anything to her.
âYes,drop it on the tableâ I instructed and as she dropped it I read the name on her ID. Brenda? Brenda Kimâs friend? She should know where Kim is then because they were pretty close and she was the one that recommended her here,I wasnât gonna go to see her but I think I should know if she was alright. Thatâs the least I can do and probably I would feel less guilty.
âHmm Brenda?â I asked and she stood up straight.
She was probably surprised I knew her name. I didnât know your name,I just looked at your ID.
âYesâ she replied looking at me like I had two heads.
Okay how would I say this without sounding like a stalker. It looked creepy to me.
âHmmâ I ran my hands through my perfectly styled hair âcan you tell Kimberly to come and take her remaining stuffs over at my house?â I asked stupidly.
Her eyes widened,that question definitely came out wrong. The lady would prolly be wondering why I would ask her that.
I scratched the back of my neck
You are stupid Ash,really stupid.
Congratulations you just sounded like the most foolish person in the world.
Kim had no stuff left in my house.
âYes. Yes I would inform herâ the girl replied nodding.
âYou hmmâŚyou know where she is?â I asked again and she nodded.
âYes,I would just inform her when next I decide to pay her a visit or I should probably come over to your house to pick the stuff,then I would go and give it to herâ she suggested and I shook my immediately.
Come to my house?
What for?
âNo that wouldnât be necessary,why donât you just write the address down for me?â I asked forcing a smile.
No one wonât succumb to my request after that smile believe me.
The girl turned red,she f—–g blushed and I mentally praised myself.
âOkayâ she said and I brought her a diary to write it there.
âHere sirâ she said passing the diary to me after writing something down.
âThank you very muchâ I said looking at what are wrote down.
Something like downtown, thatâs in the end of town right?
I looked up the lady was still there. I raised an eyebrow at her in case if she wanted to say anything else and she shook her head.
âExcuse me pleaseâ she said before turning on her heels to leave the office.
The heels where freaking high, what if she falls?
âShut up Ashton,just shut upâ I said before returning my gaze back to the book.
?????
I wound the glass of my car down when I saw a girl approaching where my car was.
âHelloâ I greeted and she stopped immediately.
âHiâ she replied looking at me like i was a piece of meat. The girl was quite chubby so she must think I was food. âArenât you Ashton bustamante?â She squealed and my face fell immediately.
I didnât want something like this to happen that was why I didnât come with my security team and I was sure no one would recognize me because this place was pretty small and my glass was tinted.
I couldnât afford to be mobbed here.
If you are asking where I was presently. I am at the address the Brenda lady gave to me,I didnât want to come here, believe me I didnât want to.
But look I am here because something else wants me to be here and I just wanted to check if she was okay,I know she wouldnât want to see me and that was why I didnât come with anybody because I donât want to be embarrassed in front of anyone and I donât want reporters to follow me either because they are bound to follow if they see any flashy car with other cars following it.
And I definitely donât want to expose her to the public than the way she already is. For her to get a house in this neighborhood,she sure has her reason for that.
âYes I amâ I replied forcing a smile and the girl looked like she was about to faint.
âThis is so surrealâ she screamed and few heads turned to our direction.
Oh no.
I frowned âcan you please stop screaming?â.
âSorry,i wonât anymore. I love you so much and i have been wishing since I was a kid to work in your company. I am in third year of college,I hope I get a job in your companyâ she gushed.
I smiled âoh, thatâs good if you work hard enoughâ.
âI am working hard enough and I promise I would come out with a first classâ she said again âI heard only first class people work in your companyâ.
âYes,work hard then.â
âYes,I will. I am Khloe by the wayâ.
âYh. Khloe,can you direct me to Miss Kimberlyâs house?â I asked politely and the girl stared at me for good two minutes before I snapped her out of her drooling state.
âI am human,not foodâ I told her frustrated already.
âYou just look so perfect,can I touch you!â.
Okay this is harassment,she was f—–g harassing me. âNo,why donât you direct me to the house firstâ I said flatly.
She squealed again âdirections? Okay, open your door let me get in,she said eyeing the carâ.
This was the car Kim used to move around before and I might have used the car because I wanted to perceive the scent that never left the seats. âRight come Inâ I said not smiling at all.
This was the Brenda ladyâs fault. She should have written the exact house not just the address of the neighborhood.
Throughout the unpleasant drive,the Khloe girl looked like she couldnât keep her hands to herself,if she wasnât touching my collar,she was removing a stray hair from my face or she was pressing the seat of the car.
I f—–g wanted to snap.
Is this how she harasses every guy?
âYou said Kimberly right?â
âYesâ I replied.
She looked at me thoughtfully for a while and it was creeping me out. This girl is a pervert.
âI said itâ.
âSaid what?â
âI said the Kimberly lady looked like someone I have seen on the television but my mom said I was imagining nonsense that the Kimberly lady is too quiet and doesnât like to talk to anyone she even said I should try to slim down to be like her. Can you imagine? Am i even fat?â She asked and I looked at her.
âNo you are perfect the way you are. So can you direct me to the place now?â.
âSure we would soon be thereâ.
After about three minutes of riding through the neighborhood we eventually stopped at the front of an apartment.
âDo you need me to go with you?â The girl asked.
âNoâ.
âWho would give me a ride now,I was about going for evening lectures when you stopped meâ she complained and I immediately knew what she wanted.
âI would give you a ride. Just stay putâ I told her before going to the entrance of the house.
The house was locked but I tried to knock when I saw the padlock at the front of the house.
I walked back to my car to meet the lady âthe house is locked,do you have any idea when she might have gone too?â
She shook her head âno, not at all. The last time I saw her was four days ago or so,she rushed into her car and since then I donât think I have seen herâ the girl said.
âFour days ago? What about her dad?â
âHer dad? The man already diedâ the girl said again.
Died?
âWho died?â
âThe Kimberly lady dad,the old man already died. I remember my mom and I with our other neighbors gathered to pay our condolences but she never opened the doorâŚâ She trailed off.
âWhen was that?â
âAbout two weeks ago or so. The only time she came out after that was to burn the incest and she still didnât talk to anyone even if the old women here still sent me to drop cookies at her door, sometimes she picked it up and sometimes it just stays there until I drop another one with it. Then there was a day she went out shortly,then the last time I saw her was lady four days. I donât think she came home after thatâ the girl explained but the only thing i could think of was.
âThe man already died.
âYou donât know where she might be now right?â
âYes I donât know. She never really talks to us but we kinda stalk her. She is beautiful with long hair and all thatâ the girl chuckled
âBut do you think she is okay?â.
âYes,I think she is okay. Because there were times she played music and it would be so loud. So I guess she was enjoying herself thenâ.
âHmm. Thank youâ I told the girl still thinking of what she told me.
âYou really like the Kimberly lady right?â She asked and my head snapped to her side immediately.
âNo,why would you say that?â I defended.
âI was just askingâ she replied looking out of the window âcan you take me to my school now? You know nobody is in that house right? If someone was in there,we would knowâ.
âRight letâs goâ I said looking at the locked house before taking a seat. âInput your school address in the GPSâ I told her and she bent to input it.
Four days ago?
Where was Kim?
Is she alright where she is?
Is she in trouble?
Or she probably left for good?
âI think she probably left for goodâ I muttered quietly.
But I donât still think she left.
Then where the hell was she?
?????
