Chapter Ten: Saved

"Ahhhhhhh" She yelled as tears streamed down her makeup face. She held her cheek in pain.

That was it, he was a violence person and didn't take no for an answer.

"If you want thing's to be fine, go in there, pack your things and be the lead."

"What?"

"I'm sure your ears are working perfectly."

"Michael, this is uncalled for. You can't just walk in here, say shit about me and even raise your hands on me. Release or not released you deserve every single thing that comes your way. This is my house and this is my life. I have the right to do whatever I want with it.

Do you know, I still regretted trying to live a beautiful life after my company was ready. We decided to take a break in everything but you ended up using me as your punching bag. You still have the right to raise that hand on me." She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

"I'm done with everything about you. Kindly leave." She said again but this time he was more annoyed than earlier.

He walked towards her and grabbed her neck as she couldn't breathe anymore.

"Please" She begged in tears as she hit his hand begging for her life but he was more fierce.

"How dare you! How dare you order me out. You must have forgotten, right?" He tightened his hands on her throat and she got more sophisticated and couldn't breathe properly. Her eyes were red while she tried to get rid of his hands.

"Mi…Mic..Michael please…. please" She pleaded in tears, he hissed and threw her off with her back landing on the floor.

"Ahhhh" She winced in pain and tears.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me?"

Her eyes went to her phone laying beside her and she used his turning opportunity to call the security outside. She had no way to call for help so she yelled out.

"Micheal, please don't kill me. Please" Her tears rang on the phone and the call ended.

"Why would I kill you with my hands?" He sneered at her face. "All I'm asking now, is for you to go in there and pack your things then you make the lead.

"I'm not going anywhere!" She yelled in tears and fear at the same time, she was scared and didn't want to do something she would later regret.

"Please Micheal, just let things go. Stop this!" She pleaded but all fell on deaf ears.

"You must be a joker" He walked closer to her and made move a swift action but was suddenly stopped with a loud bang on the door as a young man in his 30s strode in with a pistol.

"What are you doing here?" Micheal asked angrily his eyes looking fierce.

"And why are you molesting her?" He questioned him, ignoring his question. Micheal raised his eyebrows as he glared at Laurette with a smirk.

"So you called him. Didn't you?" He questioned, Laurette gluped down in fear and tears.

"I'm tired" she teared up. The security showed her a signal and she rushed outside with her bag. Micheal tried following but the man was too fast.

"Don't you try move."

Laurette rushed outside into her car, she placed her hands on the steering. Her heart racing in fear. She was shaking with her hand turning on the engine.

She turned on the engine but it wasn't turning on. "God" She sighed. "Why must it be now." She opened the door and sprinted to the gate, she rushed out in fear looking back and forth.

She stood In Front of the gate with her heels in her hand. "God, please just this once " She begged and a white car drove past her but she waved her hand at it.

The car stopped and she rushed towards it. "Please help me to the FLJ's Company."

The young man turned towards her and opened the door. "Come in."

"Thank you" Laurette stode in, trying to calm her nerves down.

"Are you okay?" The man asked. She raised her heads up and was mazed with the beauty she met.

"Woah" She gasped and covered her mouth in embrassment. "I'm sorry…. I.."

The young man smiled. "It nothing. You can drool. I'm Rash" he introduced and she coughed.

"Such a nice name for a handsome man" She muttered and he smiled.

"I guess we are here already" he made note and sighed in relief.

"Thank you. I'm grateful." She appreciated with a smile and she got down.

The car drove on and she stood there looking at the back as it drove on.

She inhaled deeply and walked into the company without putting on her heels. Her makeup were completely ruined with tears.

She strode into the office and the thwo bestfriend gasped. "What wrong?"

She sat down and tears started rolling. "I'm tired."

"What wrong? What happened?" Jasmine asked in fear. They rushed to her, checking if she was hurt and Jasmine saw the mark on her throat.

"Gosh! Who did this to you?"

"He….he did it" She cried continuously ruffling her ruined hair.

The two bestfriend glared at her in confusion. "Who is the "He"?"

"My ex…. Micheal did this to me." She announced, earning gasped from each sides.

"How? Why is he here?" Flora asked but jasmine just stared in confusion.

"Who is he? It seems flora knows about him but I know nothing. Your ex? How?"

Flora raised her face up." Micheal is her ex. It happened when we went on a trip to different countries." She opened.

Jasmine smiled but hurt could be seen. "Really? You had a bad ex and I'm just getting to know the Micheal? Are we really bestfriend?" She asked as the two stared at her in regret.

"Jas baby, please let solve this issues first. We are at fault…we know." Flora tried talking but Jasmine raised her hands up.

"I don't want to hear a word. Y'all….." She closed her eyes tightly as she smelt betrayal.

She picked up her bag and strode outside.

"Baby, jas" Flora tried calling but she didn't even turn her back.

"I need my space."
