I took slow steps backwards and picked up the grocery bags I left before. I continued walking backwards so I would know if he's following me.

When I was finally out of the alley, I used my my clothes to ckean my finger print off the gun before throwing it into a trashcan.

After that, I ran home without looking back nor stopping to take a breather. I'll never oass through an alley anymore.

*************************

When I was close to my apartment, I took slow steps and watched behind me to see if someone was tailing me.

When I was sure I wasn't been followed, I entered my apartment and closed my apartment door securely.

I was finally able to breath properly. That was a very close call. Who would have thought that someone like that would end up being a killer.

And to think I called him handsome. Like they always say, don't judge a book by it's cover.

"But really? Is what he said true? Did that guy actually try to kill him? Shouldn't I report this to the police? I just witnessed a murder." I wondered.

No way, I can't get myself involved again. I barely managed to escape today. What if I get in trouble for reporting?

"But that guy murdered an innocent man." My conscience reminded me.

"He wasn't really innocent. The cute guy said that the dead man tried to kill him. I should better mind my business." I tried to shake off any feeling of guilt I was feeling.

The police will find out one way or another. What I need to focus on now is how I'll get a new job because there's no way I'll ever work in that company.

I picked up the grocery bags and placed them on the counter. Thankfully, I was able to get them back.

If not, only God knows how I'll be able to survive because I'm out of cash now. I arranged everything I bought in the fridge and proceeded to make breakfast.

***********************************

I burped lowly in satisfaction. Now I'm filled, I need to find a new job.

I brought out my laptop and started scrolling through it. I was looking for any job opening.

I was only able to find a spot at a bar as a server. I chuckled when I saw the name. 'DEVIL'S EYE CLUB' It sounded really dumb.

I hesitated first before I clicked on it and read through the contents.

My eyes widened when I saw the amount they pay servers.

"One thousand dollars a week." I almost screamed.

What type of bar pays that huge amount to just servers??

If they pay servers that large amount, what about the strippers??

I double checked to see if the spot is really a server or a stripper. It was the same.

Thankfully, I didn't need to strip or dress in nude outfits. It was just like a restaurant's job.

"But what if they change their mind once I get the job?" I wondered.

"I won't know unless I try it. Besides, I can always quit if it isn't favourable." I said to myself before applying for an interview.

I filled in my details on the mail they sent me. It wasn't long before they replied. They asked me to come for an interview around 5 pm this evening.

I accepted before dropping my laptop. I prayed within myself so I could get this job. It is my last hope.

If not, Mrs. Martha would throw me out of this apartment. I checked the time on my phone on my screen.

It's still 11 Am in the morning.

I stood up from the couch and decided to take a short nap. I landed with a soft thud on the bed. It didn't take long before I drifted off to sleep.

*************************

~DEVIL'S EYE CLUB~

Grey was scrolling through the applicants for the job opening when something caught his eyes. He smiled when he saw her name.

"I didn't think it would be this easy to find you Selina Cortez. The boss would be very proud." He muttered before sending her an invitation for the job interview.

**************************

~LATER IN THE EVENING~

I took my bath and put on a new outfit consisting of a short crock top, pleated mini skirt and a pair of sneakers.

I stood in front of the mirror and smiled. No one can be able to tell I'm twenty-four years old. I can easily pass as a teenager like this.

"Wait, is this outfit suitable?" I asked myself.

Well, there isn't a dress code for a job at a bar. I packed my blonde hair into a messy bun and smiled. I'm really endowed with beauty, I can't even deny it. Too bad I can't take good care of it.

I sighed and put a baseball cap over my head. I picked up a small purse and my phone. I locked the door to the apartment.

Since I spent my last cash on food, I guess I'll have to walk. Thankfully, I got ready wuite early so it would only take me thirty minutes to get there.

I checked the time on my phone. This is just 4:17. I brought out my ear pods and connected it to my phone before placing it in my ear.

I smiled as the beat of the song started playing in my ear.

**************************

~DEVIL'S EYE~

I stopped tiredly in front of the huge building and smiled when I saw the name of the club written at the front.

Finally.

I was about to enter when a rough looking guy stopped me.

"Do you have the club's id?" His gruff voice sounded.

I think he's a guard here.

"No. But I'm here for the interview." I answered.

"Your name?" He asked again.

"Selina.. Selina Cortez." I replied.

"Follow me." He said and I obeyed.

The club was some what empty. Probably because it's not yet night time.

We walked for a while before he stopped in front of a closed room.

"Go in." He muttered before leaving

I hesitated at first. It felt really weird. I had a really bad feeling about this.

"It's just a job interview. What could go wrong?" I wondered before knocking.

There was no response so I knocked again. Still the same thing. I decided to go in like that.

I entered the room cautiously. I was really dark so I decided to looked for the light switch and put on the lights.

I almost stopped breathing when I saw his hazel eyes staring at me darkly.

"No no no.."

I wanted to run out but someone locked the door from outside.

"Let me out!!!" I screamed in fear.

He sat down calmly on his seat and watched trying my best to escape.

"Please let me out!!!" I screamed louder.

"Don't waste your voice princess. Because no one will come for you." He said with a smirk dancing on his lips.

  • Damian's Obsession   FINAL CHAPTER

    I crawled weakly towards Damian, ignoring the shards of broken glass that were cutting my knees and wrapped my hands around him shakily.I cried like I have never done before as I tightened my arms around me while he returned the hug too.“He is finally dead. We did it.” I whispered as more tears kept on flowing down my face like a waterfall.“You did it.” Damian muttered as he buried his head on the crook of my neck.I cried harder as I held him closer. That was a really close call. I suddenly heard footsteps sounding out side so I picked up a pistol.I was about to shoot at whomever it was that would enter the living room when I saw Felix trooping in carefully with some boys behind him.He is still alive??“Fuck!!!” Felix cussed out when he saw Mark and Grey’s dead body.He still hasn’t noticed our presence because we were at a dark corner.“Make sure they are all dead. None of them can leave here alive.” Felix ordered.“Yes boss.” The men said as they began checking all the bodies.

    “Selina.” I heard and looked over to see Damian sprawled on the floor.His face and body was filled with blood. He looked like he had been attacked.“Damian!!” I called out in fear and was about to run towards him when someone suddenly grabbed me.“Going somewhere??” My teary eyes widened when I saw those familiar blue eyes staring down at me. No way. No fucking way!!!Mark??? He found us!! Conniption gripped me and I tried to break away from his hold but my attempts were futile. I finally had an idea but I didn’t know if it would work.I managed to release one of my hands and attempted to hit him but as expected, he easily caught it. He held it and smirked at me.“What are you trying to do?? Hit me??” He asked as he laughed while his minions joined him too.He was finally distracted. I took that chance and kicked him very hard where the sun doesn’t shine. He released me immediately and landed on the floor with as a painful grunt escaped his lips.“Boss!!” His minions called as the

    “I should use you as a scape goat to anyone that tries to cross me. Be it friend or foe. They always die miserably.” Damian said as he finally released the last bullet on his forehead.The door was suddenly barged open, revealing Mark who had a blood splattered on his face and body.“Finally..” He said as he faced Damian.“I finally get to meet the one person I have been waiting for, for three years now. Did you miss me? Because I know I did.” Mark said with a smirk playing on his lips.“You bet. I have been dreaming about thus day since I found out you were still alive. I want to take in the joy and satisfaction I would get by ending you myself.” Damian said.“I see. That is only if you would be able to kill me yourself.” Mark said.“Why? You think I’m still like the same person I was three years ago?? You think I wouldn’t hesitate to kill you just because you were my friend??” Damian asked as he brought out a pistol from his back pocket and pointed it at Mark.This action made Mark

    “Just do a you were told and take care of the body.” Damian said.Suddenly, we heard car engines revving outside. Is someone here?? “Are you expecting some one??” Felix asked Damian.“This is a safe house. Who will I be expecting??” Damian asked back.“How was Ana able to find this place if it was a safe house??” Felix asked back.“Your nemesis has finally caught up with you.” Grey said as he smirked at Damian.What is he seriously talking about?? The way he is acting is starting to scare me.I shrieked in fear when I suddenly heard gunshots outside and people screaming in fear. It seems like Damian’s guards and the intruders were exchanging bullets.“We need to leave now. There are intruders here.” Felix said as he peeped through an open space in the window.“You all can’t leave here….. alive.” Grey muttered.“What are you talking about??” Damian asked Grey.“Who else would be bold enough to barge into this place, that you think would be safe to hide you and your lover??” Grey asked

    He had followed us to the safe house.“We will just stay here till the problem at hand is no more.” Damian said.“Okay.” I agreed.Anywhere is better than staying in that hospital.We walked in. I was about to go into any room I could find when I noticed something, rather someone in the living room.It was a woman and she had her back turned towards us.“Who’s that?” I asked and everyone’s attention turned towards her.She finally noticed our presence and turned to face us. My jaw dropped when I saw her. She was by far the most beautiful woman I have ever set my eyes upon.She smiled when she saw us.“Damian.” She called as she batted her long lashes seductively.I could feel Damian’s reaction was that of shock. Who is she and how does she know him, or this place.“Ana.” Damian finally uttered.She is Ana?????The Ana that betrayed him and planned to kill him?? It felt so unreal. The same lady I was praising for her angelic beauty turns out to be a crazy wench.People say you can’t ju

    FOUR DAYS LATERI sat down tiredly and watched as the doctor did another test on Felix per his and Damian’s request. For the past four days, this had been their routine.They have been requesting the doctor for countless tests to be undergone on Felix before they would discharge him.According to them, they didn’t want any complications later. The doctor was obviously tired of their disturbance because of his sluggish movements and the very obvious dark circles underneath his eyes.I bet he hasn’t been having enough sleep because of the way they have been disturbing him but couldn’t complain because Damian would have his tongue, literally.I’m already exhausted too. for almost two weeks, I have been sleeping on this hard couch. My back and butt hurt a lot.I haven’t even been able to sleep on most occasions. I’m pretty sure dark circles would have appeared on my eye lids too.I just wish I could go back to the mansion right now, take a warm bath in the tub and have a very deep sleep.
