I saw a few holes at the top of the bag, probably to prevent me from suffocation, but most of it made me feel it was dark and dizzy being inside the bag. A hundred questions flooded my mind, which was thinking whether I would make it back alive, or who it was that wanted my life.
But being in hell before changed my mindset about everything. During my occupational therapy sessions, I used them as an opportunity to rebuild myself. Starting from my strength and my stamina. I worked out until I couldn’t any more. So, if I would fight to the death, if that was what it took for me to live.
Instead of screaming in panic, I calmed my senses and took my time to figure out an escape plan. The atmosphere outside the bag felt chilly, but I bore with it. A chance to be taken while you were in your bra and panties was rare, I had to make the best out of i
“Serve the Master for one night.”“And after that?”“Kill him.”The idea of killing the Master with my own hands was gratifying for me. It was like music to my ears. But what were the chances of succeeding? He had dozens of men at his command in Bangkok. Neither did I know the reason for his presence in Bangkok.Had it anything to do with me or Sherry? Or did he have ties to anyone here?I was sure he was a difficult target to take down. He had to be a powerful figure to lead the mafia. With my weakness right now, I could barely brandish a knife, much less kill the Master with it.“That doesn’t seem possible in one night,&rdquo
Remembering the self-defence tricks Jacques had taught me, I curled my body easily and went right to the floor, scrambling as fast as I could for the dagger.No matter what, Lenard Lee had to go down tonight. Hearing his fast footsteps, I evaded his grasp in the nick of time as he made a powerful lunge towards me.“Don’t come near!” I shouted, flashing the weapon in front of his eyes.He just laughed.“Stab me then! Go ahead, do it!”He waved his hands at me with a sickening laugh. As he came closer, I held the dagger more firmly, swallowing hard. My hands felt clammy. I had never hurt a fly all my life, and it just scared me more of how I would kill him.
-One and a half years later- Saying goodbye was harder than it seemed. The time I spent with him made me love my life with Jacques, even if it was a loveless marriage. Two weeks after our second-year anniversary, we registered our marriage at the nearest district office. It was an intricate process as it involved us getting clearance from the embassy of our home country. However, Jacques settled it easily and in addition, he even threw us a special celebration. We restricted the private party to just the two of us, and it was a secret from everyone we knew. In my heart, I still wondered if it all didn’t come up to this, would I be walking down the aisle with Syl instead? Maybe then, yes. But now, it would never happen in this lifetime. It was a truth I found it
“Meal reservation, Miss?”I looked towards the stewardess with two weary eyes. This was the second time I was travelling on such a long-haul flight. The male passenger beside me appeared mysterious but I wasn’t inclined on knowing more, especially about a member of the opposite sex.On his opposite side, his female companion was engrossed in trying to get his attention. She was the perfect definition of artificial: plastic surgery, false eyelashes, and a fake attitude, which I caught easily. Fortunately, I had a seat near the window, so I could watch the view outside without a care for either of them.I shook my head. She turned to the man.“Whatever.”The stewardess checked her clipb
“Welcome back, Mrs Jensen.” At my city’s airport, I never expected a welcome from a stranger. Furthermore, she was an airport staff that checked travellers’ bags for any suspicious items. I just responded with a fake smile. There was a long queue, so by the time I got to my checked-in baggage, almost everyone in the same flight as me had gone. I thought of the job that I had just applied for in the short break while transiting, and it made me think twice after reading the negative reviews on an online forum. They painted the company as a shady place, and I believed it was so, since looking up the company’s corporate profile didn’t seem too convincing, like an empty shell company. Even if Kaiser Klef Solutions was shady, I persisted to apply with them because their ma
Kaiser Klef was no other than the male passenger who had offered me the newspaper he didn’t need. He stood before me, in a smart suit, unlike how casually his staff had dressed. My intuition told him he was the boss of the company, yet he took economy class during the flight.“Miss Piper Taylor, I understand you are a college dropout, but because of connections, they promoted you from an admin staff to corporate in your last job.” He eyed me warily, pronouncing every word icily and yet, carefully.“Yes,” I answered in a monotonous voice. “But I did nothing to get it. The CEO-”“Silence. You don’t have to answer questions I didn’t ask.”I swallowed. This man was such an authoritarian.
“Good morning.”Kaiser was up and staring at me with a self-satisfied smirk. He was the first man that I had slept with while not being in a relationship, and I was already enjoying the thrill that accompanied it.Whatever happened last night, I didn’t regret it.“You’re a hot one, Piper Taylor. I’m starting to regret hiring you.”“How does that add up?” I asked, teasing him by flipping my hair behind my naked back. An ample view of my cleavage lay exposed above the blanket wrapped firmly around me. He leaned closer and trailed down my chest with his fingers.Unlike the other guys, he didn’t ask if I slept well or enjoyed sex last night. He just went straight for it. He didn’t ask if I wanted any more, but I read his body language and spread my legs for him to take me.He tossed the blanket aside and threw off his boxers, inserting his hardened organ deep inside me so abruptly that made m
Kaiser Klef SolutionsI wore a bold black short dress with matching boots to meet Kaiser. The dress clung tightly to my abdomen and left nothing to the imagination. To increase the heat of my attire, I wore a matching set of black lacy undergarments. I didn’t know if Kaiser was going to toss me to the wolves today, but I had to be ready. I didn’t forget my confidence as I stepped into the building. Recognising me, the male receptionist dialled the number to Kaiser’s floor. I learned that he had a special office on another floor.“Miss Griselda would like to see you.”I nodded and entered the elevator. There was nothing curious for me to find out about this woman who I clearly remembered as Kaiser’s partner in the plane. Probably she already knew about our hanky panky yesterday. However, I recalled how Kaiser wasn’t very nice with her on the flight. Would she take this injustice she suffered against me?I told myself I had suffered more hardships than to be put d
