VanessaI tried to steady my breathing as I tried to figure out my next step. I took the left and made my way down the corridor. I was beyond scared of getting caught because this was my only chance. There was only a small amount of illumination in the place. I crept in the dark making sure to keep my eyes and ears peeled.There was light coming from inside a room and I heard some shuffling. I tiptoed towards the room and peered in. There he was with his back turned looking at some files. One thing caught my eyes and that was his car keys. He started to move and I hurried to the small door I passed on my way.I went inside and listened as his footsteps got nearer and then fade as he walked past. There was no light so I couldn't see what kind of room it was or find anything useful. I opened the door when I felt it was clear and peeked out. I took the chance and went inside the room he was. I took up the keys and dashed out before I started running.I made my way down the huge stack of
"Give me the knife Vanessa".I held the knife tighter in my hands as I looked at him. My breathing was heavy and my legs were getting weak. His face was becoming more serious as the seconds went by. He started to come towards me and I ran out of the kitchen. He pulled me back by my hair erupting a scream from my chest. I fell on the floor hard and before he could pull me up I ran the knife through his side. His blood started to ooze out on my clothesNo, no, no am sorry!~I jumped up with a heartwrenching scream. My breathing was heavy as I looked around the room. I saw Mordechai rushing towards me and I held my hands out and wrapped them around him."It's ok baby am here, I'm here", he said as he held me close to him. I was on top of him as I rest my head against the crook of his neck. He rubbed my back as he tried to soothe me."It was a terrible nightmare", I say as I pulled away and looked at him. He wiped my eyes then I realized that I was crying. I was traumatized. I couldn't
~VanessaIt has been two years since I've been married and alot has happened. When I found out I was pregnant it was thrilling yet scary because I didn't have any experience. But when Melina was born having no experience didn't matter, I was going to love and care for her as a mother should.She was now one and a half years old with all her father's features. She had his nose, hair, lips and eyes. She was my everything. Mordechai's father had Alzheimers which was depressing because he was slowly losing his memories. The best thing was that he got to see his grandchild and spend a few decent moments with her.Julia had been sleeping with Devin for years now. It was a truth that revealed itself on it's own. What I mean? Mordechai caught them at Julia's place last year when he went to visit. I knew something was up but wasn't sure it would be this shocking. But they aren't in the city anymore. It wasn't any coincidence that the both of them just left the city nearly the same time.As for
Vanessa Collins"The boss wants to see you".I looked up at Romario before he smirked at me and left the room. The other girls were looking at me but the most concerned was Alexa, who introduced me to this kind of work. I glanced in the mirror once more before getting up and leaving the girls lounge area.My heels clicked on the floor as I made my way down the long hall and stopped at my boss Zed's office door. I knocked and waited until I hear his approval for me to enter. He was seated around his desk one finger in his teeth while his other hand was on his lap."You know why I called you in here?"His voice was rough and always gave me the creeps. I shook my head no as a smirk formed on his lips. My hands played with the hem of my mesh thigh high stockings. 2 years ago I was no one, I had no money, no family, nothing. That was until Alexa and I met. She told me of the work she did and that she was earning so much money. After our conversation she told me t
2 years laterVanessa CollinsI end the call before sighing deeply and placing the phone in my pocket. The owner of the house that am staying at have decided to throw me on the streets since I owe two months of rent. Can life get any worse? I don't think so. I couldn't live on the streets especially New York streets.I started walking down the pavement clutching my coat closer to my body. Ever since what happened two years ago I've been struggling. It actually wasn't always so. After Omar offered me a ride when I was being chased, I told him everything that happened with my past and the type of work that I did. He didn't judge me or anything of the sort and I stayed at his place for a few months.We got closer and closer then we end up sleeping together. But then he met in a car accident and died. I was beyond devastated that I cried until I couldn't anymore. T
VanessaI stood on the outside of a mansion. I asked the driver if he was sure this was the place and he told me it was. The outside, the gardens were well groomed and so beautiful that I think I spent more than a minute just admiring it. The color pallete was white and blue and I noticed a few accents of gold here and there.I pulled my suitcases along with me to the front door. I was glad the driver was too caught up in talking to a passenger in the front seat to notice the smells. I knocked on the door before stepping a few inches back. I looked around the place before my attention was drawn by the sound of a lock clicking.The door opened revealing a tall, black guy. He was dressed casually in Jeans and a white button up shirt and had a small smile plastered on his face."Hello, how may I help you?"His voice was deep but not coarse. I
VanessaI was awoken by a knock on the door. I groaned lowly before running a hand through my hair and opening it. I was greeted by no other than Mr. Pierce who had a smile on his face."Good morning, seems like you slept well. Julia is waiting for you downstairs""Ok Mr -"My name is Devin", he said before walking away. I close the door and went to the bathroom.After brushing my teeth and setting my hair I left the room and made my way downstairs. I saw Julia looking exceptionally beautiful. I don't usually compliment people so if I do then that must be saying something.They were laughing about something that seemed really funny and when they noticed my presence, Devin crossed his legs and half smiled at me while Julia turned and looked at me."Hello - I didn't quite get your name the last time"
Vanessa"Nice to meet you vanessa, I'm Akilah and I will show you around and get you sorted for your first day, follow me".She was beyond beautiful. Her dark, smooth chocolate skin and her shiny black hair. She could pass for a model because of her slim figure or a spokesperson because her voice was laced with confidence.I followed her behind the counter and into the kitchen area. I didn't know exactly what would be my job so I dressed casually in dark coloured clothes. There was a guy with a beard at the stove area that looked like the head chef, a girl and two other guys who seem a few years younger than me."This is Cajito, he was a Italian chef in the past, we have Camille and these are Erin and Nolan"." hello", I said as they waved with a smile. Well not the chef ; he l
