DESPERATE SITUATION
...Sally...
How did I get here?, I would like to think I have always been a decent person. Determined to live a simple yet normal life but here I was, Dressed in an expensive little black dress (whose price was my two months house rent) that left little to the imagination. I was uncomfortable yet I had to keep a straight face,
'You got this Sally' I say to myself inwardly, People were Staring, especially men lustful at me, i couldn't blame them though, when you dress like a whore, you will surly be treated as one. I tried not to let that get into my way, the main reason I was here was for my sister, I had to do this, she had to live even if that meant me humiliating and selling myself like this.
My eyes scanned the crowded room, Big celebrities I had only seen on television where present, Models who looked like they had just walked out of a movie, and yes, Doctors. Famous Doctors specifically, The Crown Family.
A few years back, my little sister Rita and I lost our parents in a car accident, things where difficult for us after they died, I had to work three part time jobs, go to school and take care of Rita, I wasnt complaining though, As long as we were alive and happy, that's all that mattered to me. But then Rita got sick and things became worse for us. She had cancer and had to be in and out the hospital and now, she was on the verge of losing her life if she didn't under go an operation which was the reason I was here. A place I didn't belong looking for one man, Robert Crown.
"A drink from Lady Crown" A waitress said to me handing me a glass of wine, I took it and smiled awkwardly at her
"Thank you", my eyes continued to roam around the room until Finally, I saw him. My target Robert Crown, he was dressed in a black tuxedo. I must admit I was caught off guard as I didn't expect him to be this good looking in person. The grip on my glass cup tightened as I let out a sign, I was more nervous than I had ever been my entire life yet I tried to stay composed. The vibration of my phone brought me back to reality as I reached for it to check the message I had received, it was a strange number but immediately I read what was written, I knew it was Lady Crown.
I put my phone back in my purse and drank the wine in one go,
'Here goes nothing' I said and walked out of the room following the instructions written in the message.
A guard was waiting for me right at the door and led the way to an elevator, on the sixth floor of the building, the elevator stopped and the doors opened,
"You can wait in the room until Mr Robert Comes" the guard instructed, I nodded and walked off to the only room on the floor.
The room was pitch black with one light lamp on a table, The bed was neatly made with white beddings, I let out a deep sign and took a sit on the bed freeing my legs from the heels I was wearing,
How long was I supposed to wait until Robert came to meet me?, minutes, hours?, I didn't know and yet I couldn't ask anyone.
After what felt like forever, I finally heard the elevator open and quickly adjusted myself on the bed nervously, At that moment, I become more self aware and had the strongest urge to check myself in the mirror. Did my make up look okay was my dress just the right type to seduce him?. I had been confident before but wasn't anymore due to how nervous I was.
The door to the room opened and someone I assumed was Robert entered the room, the unsteadiness of his steps showed how drank he was as he walked in further the room closing the door behind. He screamed out when he noticed my presence tripping and falling to the floor, I just stood there not knowing weather to help him up or just stay still,
"What the fuck!, who are you?" He asked as he tried to stand holding the wall for support,
I let out a deep sign and stood up, I unzipped the dress I was wearing and let it fall to the floor,
Looking ahead with as much courage and determination as possible, my eyes met Robert's, now that he was close to the bed, I could see his face clearly, he looked confused amongst other emotions but all that didn't matter to me. His eyes lingered on my now half naked body,
"What are you doing?" He asked his gaze on my chest, I felt the sudden urge to cover myself, I had never been naked in front of a man before, it felt weird and scary, Did he like what he saw?, what if he turned me down would I lose Rita for good?, I had a lot of questions at the back of my mind
"What are you doing?" Robert repeated again, I closed my eyes for a brief second before taking steady steps towards him. This was it, the lowest moment I would ever subject myself to, I wanted to run, scream and push him away, Hell I even prayed this wasn't happening but thinking about Rita, her beautiful innocent face at the back of my mind made me stay composed,
I reached out to Robert and kissed him. Robert was stiff in the first few seconds of the kiss, I panicked and was about to pull away when he suddenly pulled me closer and took control of the kiss,
My body relaxed under his hot touch, maybe it wasn't going to be all bad after all. Robert carried me to the bed and laid on top of me, he paused to look in my eyes his face dangerously close to mine,
"Who the hell are you?" He whispered before resuming kissing me. Who I was or why I was doing this didn't matter, what mattered was for Rita to be okay I assured myself one last time as I gave in to his dangerous touch.
Chapter 155LAST CHAPTER…Sally…Robert immediately rushed to his brother,“I never wanted to see you end up like this Lucas” he said holding his hand, Lucas let out a weak laugh,“You didnt think I was going to repent did you?” He paused painfully with a heavy breath,“In this lifetime, you win little brother, you get to live, to marry the love of my life Sally and to see me get buried but I can promise you in the next lifetime, I will win” I kneeled in front of Lucas as tears filled my eyes“Lucas” I whispered“Don't cry Sally, your makeup will be ruined” he held my hand in his and looked into my eyes“I love you” he said and slowly let go of my hand dying in front of my eyes, I wanted to scream for him to wake up but couldn't. I hated Lucas, wished the worst for him because of everything he had done but I didnt want him gone like this,Maybe in prison yes but not really die and disappear from the face of the earth, at one point, I did like him very much and considered him my friend
Chapter 154…Sally…“Drive!” Lucas repeated yet again, my hands where shaking as I held the staring wheel“Lucas, please don't do this, at least not today, am pregnant, am happy, I don't want you to hurt me” I cried. To think neither Robert and I had expected Lucas's comeback to be this way only showed how much we underestimated him and his obsession for me,“You can't be happy, at least not without me, Am the only one who can make you happy Sally. You always complained about how much you hated Robert’s character, so I did you a favor, here is Robert's face that you are so much in love with and my character which i know you like” I shook my head as tears made their way on my face“I love Robert” I whispered but Lucas heard me and his facial expression changed“Don't make me angry Sally, you have no idea what I went through for you, the least you can do is be happy and thankful, now drive” he said,I started the car wondering how I could inform Robert or the police of the current situa
Chapter 153…Sally…A lot had happened over the last month, after I was rescued, Diana was released out of prison because of the confession from Lucas, David stayed in prison because he had been working with Lucas and Ben and Steve were given less sentences. Ben's daughter was found dead while his wife had starved to death. He was devastated when he heard this news and I tried my best to comfort him.Diana had changed, she took care of grandpa even better and made time to have family Dinners with me and Robert. You could say their broken relationship had finally been mended.“Sally, why are you still laying in bed?!” Rita yelled as soon as she entered my room“I miss Robert” I said in a sleepy voice even though I was wide wake,“You haven't seen him only for today, if you miss him so much then why don't you hurry up and start preparing for your wedding?, or did you forget you are getting married today?” Jane was the one to ask this time,“No i did not forget, that is partly the reason
Chapter 152…Robert…“Unless what?” I asked Lucas,“Unless you help me escape, I will need a private jet with no police around, I will need all money from my accounts withdrawn and given to me in cash, when am sure I will not be caught and brought back here, only then will I let you know where Sally is otherwise you will never see her alive Robert” he was insane to place all these conditions“You think you can just run away from this?, you made your own bed, lay in it!” I said standing up“I forgot to tell you one thing” he said before I could walk away“And what is that?” I asked“I left a poisonous gas in the room am keeping Sally in, if I don't return after one hour, the gas will slowly lick and she will die slowly” he said with a smile“You are lying!” I yelled but Lucas burst out laughing“Well then, why don't we wait and see what happens” he challenged, I left the room and immediately I did, I received a phone call, it was from the head maid at the Crown mansion, I then answered
Chapter 51…Sally…Lucas left for what felt like forever, I was uncomfortable with the way I was sitting which made my body hurt all over,I knew this plan was risky but I didn't imagine it to go south immediately,The dress I was wearing didnt do much to help me either as it felt tight and surpressing my tummy,I was going to die if I didnt drink any water with the way my throat was dry. The door finally opened, I wish it was some sort of miracle and Robert would be the one to walk in with The police but unfortunately for me,It was Lucas with a bottle of water,“Am sorry I had taken long” he said locking the door, he opened the bottle of water for me and brought it to my lips,“Drink” surely he wouldn't put any drugs in the water and even though he did, I didn't carry about It as i was too thirsty, I took the water until the bottle was halfway, then I began to feel hungry,“Did you come with any food?” I asked,“I just found out am the most wanted person dead or alive with a huge su
Chapter 150…Robert…The police and I watched the entire confession from Sally’s necklace, when she suggested this plan, of course I thought it was crazy but I let her go through with it and now that insane Lucas had her somewhere tied up and I was here helplessly waiting for the police to locate her. They were taking more time and each second that went on made me feel even more restless,“We have the entire confession of his doing, we need to find my wife” I urged the police on“Our men are doing everything they possibly can Mr Crown” no matter what they said, my heart wouldn't be content until they found her.Lucas stood up from floor playing with the knife, I couldn't see Sally's face but I knew damn well she was scared out of her mind“What are you doing Lucas?” She asked as he took steady steps towards her, I inwardly gave a silent prayer for her well being,“Do you want to live Sally?, do you what to get out of here alive?” Lucas asked, with the way he was acting crazy, I doubte
