"Are we there yet?" Jessica asked. She and Rebbeca had both strolled towards a direction before halting to look around. It was morning and they were set to find Travis. "Well, can I see the paper again?" Rebecca asked as Jessica handed the now roughly squeezed paper to her. Rebecca glared at the paper before beaming a little. "We're around the place, all we need to do is to look for the exact street, let both wait here and maybe ask for help from a passerby!" Rebecca said and she nodded. Shortly, a lady walked in their direction covered well with no exposed skin. "Excuse me?" Rebecca said in the native language they could understand. "Do you by chance know this street?" She asked, showing the stranger the piece of paper. "Sorry, I honestly don't know anything about the address!" The lady simply replied. "Thank you so much then," Rebecca said, bowing her head as the lady walked away. "Rebecca, what did that lady say?" Jessica asked curiously. "Well, she said there's no such stre
Jessica has been sitting inside the huge mansion for an hour now and she was tired, hungry, and exhausted. She wondered why Rebecca was taking so much time to get back here, she got up from the chair to maybe look around but a voice startled her. "Hey, are you new here?" The voice asked. "Uhmm__ uhh, my name is Jessica! I was just waiting for my friend Rebecca." Jessica simply responded. "You don't know exactly what you have gotten yourself into. Please, escape right now before you start regretting it. You've no idea what happens here, you shouldn't end up like me or any of the workers." The lady said with a serious tone but Jessica still didn't understand what she meant."Uhmm__ I honestly don't know what you are talking about!" Jessica told her, gazing at her intensely. "Wait, do you mean that this place is bad luck?" Jessica asked. "Stop asking a question and leave this place while you still have the time," the lady warned yet again. "But why are you asking me to leave?" Jessi
"Come on, you all have to hurry up! Mrs. Samad wants you all to finish your work and you, over there. Why are you not touching your food?" The guard who had just given them their dinner to eat before they continued with their work implored. "Uhmm, sir? Can I please go out for a while?" Jessica asked the man. "It's not allowed!" The man said with a scowl on his face. "I'm just going to talk to Mrs. Samad and it's only going to take a few minutes," Jessica pleaded. "You're a real pest. I already told you no several times!" The man said. "Please, have mercy on me! It would only take one minute, please. It's very important!" Jessica begged, gripping his shirt a little. "Why are you so clingy and stubborn? I said that it's not allowed, would you just quit?" The man yelled angrily before walking away. "Would you stop it? How many times do I have to tell you that you're just wasting your time and energy? You are never going to escape or neither would they allow you out of here!" Mai
Claudia's eyes slowly flickered open. She closed them shut before rubbing her head when she felt a sharp blinding pain around her head, she slowly stared at her surroundings. She soon promptly got up when she realized what had transpired some minutes ago with Travis. "Shit, Travis?" She called walking towards the bathroom direction to maybe check if he was there. "Travis, stop playing games with me!" Claudia said taking out her phone to place a call but went against it. "How dare you try to escape, Travis? I'm going to kill you first before you think you can escape from me!" Claudia said between gritted teeth. She promptly ran down the stairs to see if maybe Travis might have not gone far but she only panicked more when she noticed that the door was left wide open. "Guard, Guard?" She yelled while running outside the house."You idiot, where the hell is Travis?" Claudia asked not minding the fact that the guard was still crouched to the floor while whimpering in pain. "I'm so s
Midnight had just clocked in Dubai and Jessica felt like it would be a great time to escape from Mrs. Samad's house. Jessica had been standing at a hidden angle while she peeped to see if the area was clear enough for her and her new friends to leave for good, she had been peeping for what seemed to be almost half an hour. "Jessica?" Mia, who had been standing next to her, called quietly."Shuuush!" Jessica said, putting a finger on her lips. "Let's turn back and forget about__," Laura was going to say but Jessica was quick to shut her up. "Quiet or we won't be able to escape from this place!" Jessica said, taking a few steps forwards as Laura and Mia tiptoed after her."Jessica, Mrs. Samad might catch us!" Mia said, afraid. "Shuush," Jessica said and they both nodded while following her lead slowly. "Hurry, let's hide because someone is coming this way!" Jessica said as they all ran towards the darker side of the room before hiding themselves. They all peeped closely as they wat
Panic wailed all through Claudia's body. She hoped that her guard would bring Travis back to her, she couldn't sit or do anything other than truege from one place to another anxiously.She strode towards the bar area in her house. She brought out one of the most expensive vodkas before briskly pouring some into a glass cup, she was about to sip from it when the cracking sound from the door got her attention. "Well, were you able to track him down?" Claudia asked her guard who couldn't say a thing. "Didn't I tell you not to come back here if Travis isn't with you?" Claudia asked with annoyance. "I went to the bus station that he was referring to but then a wire had a short circuit and somebody yelled that the bus would explode. So, everyone instantly panicked madam!" He said."So, because of that you didn't go and check what was happening?" Claudia yelled at him. "No madam! The bus station was temporarily closed because someone was killed and they decided to close the area for some
Life had become more harder for Jessica in the hands of Mrs. Samad ever since she tried to escape. The basement door pulled open, and the presence of Mrs. Samad made all the workers increase the pace of their work but she ignored them as she walked toward Jessica's spot to find her sleeping other than working as instructed. She smacked the table very hard and that small reaction made Jessica slowly get up to notice her presence. "You have the nerve to sleep, I want you to finish these hundred clothes today!" Mrs. Samad told her. "Alright!" Was Jessica's simple response."But__ Mrs. Samad, Jessica's wound still hurt her so she might not be able to finish that much today!" Mia intervened. "That's right Madam, she is still trying to heal!" Laura added."Shut your mouth and get back to work, why are you even interfering? Do you want me to add more workload for you two?" Mrs. Samad threatened them and they said nothing more. "You better finish up because I will be back later to make su
Rose clutched her sister's hands as their little sobs filled the entire hospital hallway. "Rose, what will happen now that auntie is gone?" Raya asked as her hands seemed to be shaking. "Don't worry, I would be the one to take care of you and Sasha!" Rose tried to assure her. "How, Can't you see? We are still very young to care for ourselves and we need a grown up right now. It should be, mother! She should be around to take care of us." Raya said, amassing more tears."I truly feel scared. What if mother and father do not come back, Auntie is dead and we can't do anything for ourselves! What would happen to us?" Raya asked, still sobbing. "Stop thinking about such, I'm very sure they will come home soon because they would never want us to be alone!" Rose said, pulling her into a hug. "Are you sure?" Raya asked in between hugs"Yes, I'm sure that mother did not abandon us, not even once did she leave us by ourselves!" Rose told her while trying to be strong. "I just wish that sh
