“Are you here to gloat at my fall?” Rex snarled at him.
“Rex, I am not here to fight o-”
“Where is Cherry?” Rex cuts in.
“Oh! Your little mistress, I guess she is out buying some hot dogs for the eighth time if I can count.” He spoke differently about Cherry like he adored her. It made Rex insecure and defensive.
‘Eighht time? Weird’
“Why are you keeping tabs on my secretary?” Rex asked him.
“I wasn’t tracking her and I am convinced to believe she is not just your secretary.” He teases.
“What space portal brought you here?.” Rex diverts the conversation to prevent himself from attacking the French man.
“Seems your dark caves got discovered by the public.” The French man smirks and crosses his leg.
“What do you mean Adolph?.” Rex questions him.
“Let’s try not to fool our
Rex came early in the morning the next day drowning himself with excessive work. He did this as a punishment for hurting Cherry and killing any chance he might have with her in the future, though he was mad and yearning to lash out his frustrations he shouldn’t have picked on Cherry because she was weak and defenseless of his attacks. When Maria found out about the humiliation and intimidation Rex did to Cherry she was beyond furious with her friend and stomped into his mansion in the middle of the night with only a hard plastic belt she uses on him when they were children.Maria nagged and lectured Rex about the importance of self-control and respect for women and young girls. This lesson lasted for four hours straight, with no breaks or pauses, only with Maria condemning his actions and setting good examples from others and also spanking his hands until they turned bright pink and started to bruise. Rex could have stopped her on point but refused to, he wanted the pai
Cherry came to work that morning feeling weak, tired, drained, and hungry. Her entire body hurts from sleeping on the bare floor last night and there wasn’t a choice for her to take the day off, first, she forgot her keys at the office and next she will have to face Rex’s harsh words if she didn’t arrive on time or leave without notice. He mentioned strictly the rules he created specially for her without convenience.Not to mention the number of desperate reporters that flocked behind and every cornered street leading to her apartment building waiting to interview her. The embarrassment was too much for Cherry that she had to skip taking the bus and somehow run away to work with the help of a taxi who offered her a free ride because she had become a celebrity. But that wasn’t all the drama, outside the G-Stark building many journalists and tourists waited patiently for the billionaire to arrive unknown to them he was already inside, but as soon as their
Cherry and Gerald both took the elevator to their perspective floor but Gerald offered to escort her up to the thirteenth floor where she worked. Despite Cherry’s refusal to let him come he insisted to escort her safely and be on his way. She didn’t want him on that floor because she feared Rex would insult her in front of Gerald or do much worse than that. In the end she agrees to let him come and they both went to the thirteenth floor."Welcome, where have you been?”Cherry jolts high from her position startled by Rex’s sudden appearance beside the wall. Her heart had been pounding nervously before getting to her floor and he appears out of thin air scaring what little confidence away.“It’s still early sir, I don’t think I am late, sir.” She tells him confidently, but how confident was she that he won’t switch moods on her.“Yes, I can see that, it still doesn't explain why you are here, in th
They both exit the floor using the elevator, Cherry expected Gerald would take them to the cafeteria on the fourth floor but he pressed the ground floor, and when she asked him about it he says the ground floor is better because the best food is always served there. Cherry didn’t think much about it and let him take her there, now on the ground floor Gerald takes her hand and turns in the direction of the main exit out of the building, a confused Cherry asked him where they were going before they got any farther. "Where are we going? I thought you said the ground floor cafeteria?" "Somewhere different." He replied with a small smile. "Why? What if Mr Angelo is looking for us?" Cherry asked. "We aren't little kids that need to be monitored. We have rights and freedom to anything aside from working." "But Mr Angelo-" "We'll blame it on me if he gets cranky, don't worry about anything. But I promise we will be back early if it mak
Cherry had been unconscious for almost four hours, and when she woke up she didn’t remember some of the events that happened before blacking out, especially how Maria got inside her apartment and the result of the pregnancy test. What welcomed her eyes was Maria’s blinding smile that stretched too widely on her face.“Why are you smiling?” Cherry grumbles out and gets up from the worn-out bed feeling a bit drowsy from moving.“You're pregnant!” Maria exclaimed with mixed emotions from happiness unable to wrap her mind convincingly on the truth. “Ohhhhh…. my! somebody, please pinch me!” Maria freaked out crazily in Cherry’s small crappy apartment, while the young lady was terrified about the news.“I think the tests are fake and they are not mine.” Cherry defends herself.“Lair! Who else will buy a pregnancy test and use it in your apartment, and why were you freaking out after
An hour later… “Cherry, are you hungry? I can get you something to eat.” Maria offered. She just finished tidying up the apartment and was preparing to leave for some supplies. Firstly, Maria wanted to make sure Cherry was comfortable and not feeling sick before calling it a day. “No, I don’t think I want to eat.” Cherry muttered lost in her thought. She leaned on the frame separating the bedroom from the kitchen, running her hand up and down her belly. The silent involuntary action brought comfort and a close bond to her baby and strengthened her core. Maria drops the cloth basket on the floor and goes to meet Cherry. She comes in front of her hoping to get a cheerful expression with her weird smile but got nothing. “I know you must be thinking about how you are going to raise this child on your own, and also what people would say if they found out, but can I tell you a secret I never told anyone?” "What is it?
Cherry laid comfortably on her side still wrapped inside the thin blanket Maria covered her in. Last night's encounter still lingered somewhere in her mind but fatigue took the worries away. Daybreak had already come and had started its day but lazy Cherry wasn't ready or willing to leave the bed. She begs to sleep instead. “It is too early to do anything.” She muttered tiredly to herself while trying to go back to sleep. After so many uncomfortable tossing and turning Cherry decided to check the time. She blindly reach out for her phone on the dresser as usual and found it surprisingly there which was weird because she didn’t remember bringing it out of her purse or dropping it there last night. Cherry lazily took off the blanket and checks the time. “Twelve noon. Still better… oh my, wait a second!!!” After her brain processed the information she rose up in an instant. Sticking from the side of her phone was a yellow sticky paper that says ‘it's already
The map leads to an abandoned creepy underground exit no one is supposed to know about. The stairs leading down the underground exit were old, shaggy, and disgusting to touch, not even the door could beat the condition of the stairs but surprisingly the lights there worked. “No wonder the landlord never told the tenants about this side of the building, this is pure disgust! How did Maria discover this place when I was unaware of it for three years?.” Cherry pondered.She summoned the courage to walk inside while constantly feeling dread everywhere she stepped like someone was watching her. “If Maria wanted me safe then why will she make me pass this death path?” Cherry successfully reached the exit door and opened it only to hear it squeal loudly making her cringe irritably. The smell of rust and bad water made Cherry feel dizzy and nauseous and she starts to feel lightheaded.She was welcomed with the hot afternoon sun and clean fresh air after
