Emily's point of view:
It might seem a bit stupid to follow a stranger... Believe me, after what happened here this morning. It's way safer for me to follow Daniel than to keep up with Lucia.
.............
I followed the so-called Daniel to his BMW black mat car, not that I did have any other choice. Then I noticed that he sent off the guy that was supposed to be the driver I guess, which was a bit of an abnormal act.
I stood still, not wanting to move any further. Meanwhile, Daniel was heading toward the driver's seat. As he settled himself, he came to notice that I wasn't following anymore.
" Waiting for an invitation? Or do you want me to open the door for you?" It wasn't a question more than it was an irony in itself.
I rolled my eyes at that sort of behavior. This man has a real sort of issue, once he's a gentleman and in another, he has nothing to do with the word 'gentleman'.
" All I want is to know where do you want me to go with you? Otherwise, I can't go with someone I don't know to somewhere which I also don't know." I said while crossing hands as I was about to show him that I wasn't afraid of him.
He then steps out of his car, then looks at me deep in the eyes without getting any close to me as he says.
" A while ago, you told me that life isn't fair! How about if I told you that I might make it more than just fair toward you?"
His worlds were promising me a sort of pink life, it's indeed what I want - still I know that nothing comes for free.
" Why are you asking for an exchange?" I asked him directly, not wanting to waste more time.
" You'll know when it's the right time for you to do..." He says, yet I was still having something up inside of my hair that annoys me. The reason why I asked him again.
" You know I'm not that type of girl?" He then chuckled before he said.
" You know! I'm very fond of the confidence you have, but you're far away from ly type cupcakes."
Though I felt hurt due to what he said, I faked a perfect smile as I answered his comment.
" Only God knows how comfortable I am to know that." He chuckled before he got inside his car. I joined him not waiting for him to say anything else. I sat
The drive didn't last for too long before we reached the 'Westfield World Trade Center'.
" Why are we here?" I asked him, and he ignored me. He got out of the car, then helped me out of the car.
The moment we got out of the car, the two bodyguards from before joined us.
"Can I at least know what's wrong?" I asked him while following him to where he was taking me. He then and finally decided on answering me, not missing the chance of making fun of me.
" Are we in a shopping center? What do normal people do in such a place?"
"Do I get that you want to shop and need my opinion about your shopping clothes picks?" I asked him not to be able to think about anything else, rather.
He then busted into a laugh before saying, "I would rather die before asking for your opening. I mean, girl - have you ever decided on looking at yourself in the mirror."
For a while, I started feeling dumbfounded, and I also was speechless not knowing what I had to say, but then I ended up cursing and mumbling beneath my breath. This man is a total jerk, and if it wasn't for the bodyguards behind him - I would've shown him his face.
Lost in my thoughts I was until he broke the silence with his annoying voice.
" Here we are!" Just by then, I came to notice that we were in the female clothes era, exactly inside of one of the boutiques. Besides that, it was a female, not a male boutique. It came to my view that most of the people around were eyeing it in a weird way.
Of course, since I have nothing to do - I decided to ignore the way they were looking at me, though the demons inside of my head were asking me to do so.
I kept following Daniel until he faced me with an old lady. That doesn't seem to be one of the selling girls. She was looking more like a female boss. She greeted Daniel the same way Lucia does, but he greeted her back in a different way.
"Daniel! It's my first time seeing you in public with a girl? Who is she?" She asked while pointing at me.
"She's nothing, no one - so far, and that's why we're here." He told her while looking at me.
Again, though, I was feeling my blood boiling. I mean, the man has just called me nothing. Still, I had nothing to do.
" What do you mean?" She asked, and his answer was.
" I want her to look classy, I know it's going to be hard - but I do trust you for that."
Her hand passed through her hair as if she was giving a hard task before she finally states.
" Did you just bring me a waitress, and you're expecting me to make her look like a lady?" Her question irritated me that I found myself speaking without thinking.
" What the hell do you think..." And without previous warning, Daniel snapped at me.
" Shut it! No one wants to hear from you."
Just by then, they went on finishing their speech as if I wasn't even existing.
" She even has no manners. Working on her would require time. A lot of time means a lot of money." The lady started to explain while pouring them both what seems to be wine. Again she didn't pour for me as if I wasn't existing. That was the least I cared about - I mean, it was still morning. Who would drink at such a time?
" You'll have all the time you need, just make sure you get her ready in no more than one month."
Now, I only wished to know if he was really able to change my luck as he promised or not. I'm so desperate to change my life that I kind of followed a man I know nothing about but the fact that he's rich and people fear him. Also, he promised me that he would change my life. In my point of view, I already have nothing to lose. It is quite the opposite, I would regret it more than not following him.
Lost in my thoughts I was till I felt someone shaking my arms. I raised my head to find that it was Daniel.
"I'll toss a coin to only know what's wrong in your mind!"
His face was so close to mine that I felt as if I was able to see his soul throw his eyes...
Emily's point of view: The old lady's name turned out to be Violetta, she's one of the few people that know Daniel closely. Of course from the day he introduced me to her, he never showed up. I was informed that I have to visit the lady each day from morning till afternoon, this whole month. When this month is over, Daniel will come to check my progress. Well, since I lost my job Daniele decided on sending me some money. This was all I was informed about from Violetta before I checked on my bank account to discover that 100 000 dollars were added to my account. This is more than even what I want to earn in the whole year. Neither Violetta nor I know the reason why I was receiving such treatment from Daniel, nor the reason why he wanted her to fix me so that I'll look like one of these high-level ladies asking her. So far, I'm only following rules which is something I'm used to. Of course, I like it here better than when I was working with Lucia. I mean, the only thing I'm doing
Daniel's point of view: I can't believe that I've finally found her, even when I wasn't looking for her - she was lacking a piece of my unfinished game. She was always the solution to all of my problems, even when I never thought about her. I can't notice the fact that she doesn't seem able to recognize or remember who I am - which sort of serves my needs. That also helps me to confirm that she will probably not be able to remember Ethan either. She was quite young when they left, about eight-nine years old. The reason why she can't remember who we are. I mean, even at her mother's funeral, we kept watching her from afar, but none of us dared to speak to her. Back then, I didn't care about speaking to her - but since it was Ethan's orders; I was forced to follow. For sure, you would be asking who's that Emily girl I'm talking about. That's an old story to tell, yet I'm in the mood to talk... Emily Carter was our neighbors' daughter. Though Ethan and Ethan were the same age, she
Emily's point of view:It was already a whole month, I can't totally recognize myself. The way I talk, walk, speak, dress up, and even eat - isn't the same anymore.It's kind of reminds me of who I was in a while - in a long time while. It's a life that I hate to think about since I believe it's not going to be back ever again. All I know now is that I have no one but myself, and if I want to survive, I need to be a fighter.Today actually I was a day off from Violette's lessons, so I decided to spend the day only at home. Not that I've had any other choice. I don't have friends, and I never had one. When we moved from I used to actually think that someone was my friend when I was young. The truth is that he never was. I've tried to reach him several times when I was young, but his family never agreed to let me in - they quietly believe that I'm not at their level. The thing that hurt me the most was that all these years, and he never trie
Emily's point of view:After the rain, there is a rainbow...Well, the rain that rained on my life brought nothing but a storm. A storm that destroyed everything I used to have. By running away, I thought that I was safe from this storm.Not until a drop from that followed me to where I was hiding. Daniel, the kid in the picture is the same Daniel Kight in front of my sight.He wasn't looking the same as what I do remember. Of course, when I left he was a boy - now he's a man.I gather all sorts of power I'm having, then I stand to face the devil that standing before of my sight before I pushed him away." What do you want?" I asked him while looking deep into his eyes, and he simply says without breaking his eye contact with me." I'm here as an old friend, to help you..." I didn't wait for him to finish what he was saying before I snapped at him." You and friend are to words that I can't accept u
Emily's point of view:The present timePreviously from the first chapter." I don't care about what she has done or was about to do, all I care about is what you're here for." After he was done speaking, I only nod my head, not beating to add anything else since I know that everything I would say would only get him mad." The interview would mean nothing. I've already arranged for you to be accepted. All you have to do is to make sure not to get kicked out. This would be our last and only interaction together in here. Make sure you don't get yourself into trouble..."This was all he says before the elevator's door was opened.............I followed to where he was going until we reached one office, then wi
Emily's point of view:When I reached home, and I got to say - my home sweet home. The first I've done was to take a cold shower to refresh my body. The water running out of the shower landing on my body did not less than to help me relax, as it gave me that sort of being alive after a sort of exhausting day.The day was a bit intense, seeing the way I was treated by Daniel, but everything eventually ended up in a fine way since I got the job without even trying - and the most important thing is that I did it without causing any trouble.I actually was informed that I would get it easily, especially that Daniel convinced the previous P.A to leave as he provided her with a better job. I don't what could be the better job that could've beat being part of " La source de beauté". Anyway, it's her loss.The thing is that I had to keep at the job as longest as I could be which is a bit hard. First, because I don't know how's going to be
Emily's point of view: Well, my act to gather myself ended up being a failure as he seemed to notice that I was checking him. I tried my best to understand what he was talking about as I focused on the last sentence he started. " ... so I decided to say hello!" Then he extended his hand, showing me a pie dish. " What's this?" I asked him and he started laughing. " As I said before, I saw you early this morning going out - and I learn that you're my new neighbor. My name is Patrick, and I live right next to you, that exact door." He pointed with his head to the door. "I was just thinking to say Hy, and I brought thin with me." I didn't know what to say or to do. I mean, should I just say thanks and move on by closing my door, or that would be rude? I shall probably invite him to drink something. But if I did, Daniel would get mad at me. Well, he would get mad only if he knows that it won't happen. " It's such a lovely gesture from you, Patrick! My name is Emily, and I'm pleased
Emily's point of view:I was setting on the floor with crossed legs while trying to cover my ears using my hands only. I kept that way from about ten minutes until he was over. I stood up hard on my as the silence consumed.Well, not for too long since he decided to finally speak." Just put in mind that I still could destroy you the same way I created you." This was all he said before he left.As I was alone, I started crying on none stop. How did I even end up loving such a hateful man? The same question started playing inside of my mind, not giving me even one mommet of rest.The answer is simple; he wasn't always such a cruel man. There were those times where he showed me kin
