Malinda POV.
"We have to leave Malinda, come with me," Russeli whispered to me, as he held my hands.It was late at night and we were in a big mansion, a mansion owned by my boss, the man I love was right beside me in the room that has only a thin window with the moonlight coming through."No Russeli, I can't go with you." I protest, I know running away was not the right thing, it doesn't always end well for me, this was something I was sure of and I felt uneasy even if this was the only way I could be with him."Trust me, Malinda." His blue eyes were staring right at mine, his eyes hold the emotion that I couldn't explain. "Please, we have to leave before the guards and my father finds us."He was right, we had to leave, we have to hurry, but still, how far can we go before they discover us, I was already in tears as I shook my head profusely."Russeli, though we love each other, I can't leave with you, please understand, I am just an orphan and...and." My lips quiver, all this was my fault. "I can't fend for myself that's why I am working here as a maid."Russeli could see my tears and I know it breaks his heart, he held my shoulder and made me look up at him. "I don't like how you and I can't be together, I hate to keep our relationship a secret, I hate that my father rejected you, I can't bear to see you hurt like this.""Come with me, we can flee, we can go far away, to a place where we are free to do and be whatever we want, a place where we can live each other and be a couple." He held my hands and gave a gentle squeeze. "A place where we don't have to be afraid, Malinda.""Russeli.." I look into his eyes, even if my vision was blurred with tears, was this the right thing to do? The question echo in my head."Trust me.." I heard his voice again and a part of me wants to stay back, but the part of me who loves the man and will go miles away with me was stronger."Okay." I nod and he pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my forehead. "Thank you, thank you." He said with joy in his voice, the tune of his voice was so happy that it seems like I had just accepted a marriage proposal."We have to leave and we have to leave now." He told me and held my hands in a tight grip. "Let's go."We both ran out of the room, surprisingly the guards that were standing there didn't notice us, it all happened quickly and we left the mansion.Russeli opened the car door and we both got in, but not unnoticed, a guard had spotted us and raised an alarm. Russeli started the car In haste and stepped on it, speeding off past the gate before they could close it.Soon we were on the highway, Russeli still driving with speed, I looked a the side mirror and I could see some cars behind us, following ours with the same speed.This was a car chase, one of those deadly ones I do see on TV. Tears pool in my eyes as I looked at Russeli. "What do we do, they are after us."Everything that was happening was making me sad, why does love have to be this way?"We would be out of sight very soon," Russeli assured me and accelerated. He held my hands with his free hands, while the other was at the steering wheel.His hands were warm, giving me comfort within my soul. "I love you, Malinda." He turns his eyes to look at me. "And I will protect you."I looked at his handsome face, he was the most handsome man I had ever laid eyes on, through luck he had come across my path."I love you, Russel," I said softly and he looked at me with the cutest smile on his handsome face, at this moment it felt so perfect like there was peace around us and no car chase, just us enjoying a joyful ride, I flashed him a smile too.But all hell broke loose when we turned to face the road a big truck came crashing on our car and glass shattered as our car flew in the air like we were in a spin ball.The first land of the car, then the second and the third it stills, piece of glass with blood everywhere, I looked at Russeli and his eyes were on me.We were both choking on our blood as we reach our hands to touch each other, but to no avail, before my eyes, Russeli closed his eyes and soon after mine did, then blackout!Three months ago.Malinda POV.My name is Malinda Kristen, I am an orphan, I lost my parents at the age of six in a car accident, and I was sent to an orphanage home since I had no other relative to take care of me.When I turned twenty years, I know I had to leave the orphanage home in search of a job, I need a job so that I can assist the children in the orphanage home who had become my sisters and brother.Luckily I found a job as a maid at a very wealthy man's mansion, I did not qualify whatsoever to find a proper job, so I decided to work here since the pay was worth it.My duty was to serve my boss his tea, do some laundry and a few other duties, it wasn't so stressful since I do all this when I lived at the orphanage.Today I was doing my normal duty, I was serving Mr Gilbert in his study room when the door fling open, I lift my eyes to see who it was since I know that no one was allowed in here and there was no one in this mansion apart from Mr
Gilbert Ryan and Malcolm Horace were in Gilbert office at the company discussing. Mr Gilbert Ryan had a renowned music producing company and their company were planning on their Russeli's sixth album that will be produced in two weeks."The decision has not been made yet," Gilbert told Malcolm. Malcolm was in a joint partnership with Gilbert and is the next acting director in charge of the production."By next week we would oversee the outcome," Malcolm said flipping pages of the file he had in his front."Last year production hit the base, a worldwide nation got the song, and there were over two billion people who listened, bought and downloaded it," Gilbert said proudly with a smile on his lips."Yes, that was a big hit, your son was something...very talented, but I must say this, he lacked emotions," Malcolm told him, hitting home where it hurts and Gilbert stopped smiling."I know. I am trying to set a date for him since it might help him." He paused. "I
Malcolm Horace Mansion. Malcolm sat down with his daughter Yvonne in their living room that looked like some classy hotel. Yvonne is a young beautiful lady, she had clear eyes, flawless skin and a pretty good shape. She looked at her father who had just called her in to talk with her. She lifts her glass of wine and took a sip, it was obvious that she was a classy lady, just by her appearance. She put down the glass cup and leans on one hand to get a better look at her father. "Did you have something to say to me?" "Yes." Malcolm put down his glass, the expression on her father's face made her curious. "What is it?" She asked, giving him full attention and waiting for him to continue. Malcolm cleared his throat and hesitated before speaking. "I am setting a date for you, I would like you to meet someone." Yvonne furrowed her brow and sat up. "Someone?" She raised her brow as he nods. "Dad why would you do that?" Setting up a date with a stranger she has no idea of was absurd. "It is
Damsel Restaurant.Yvonne sat down at a reserved table, waiting for the date her father had set for her, classical music was playing in the background and there were only a few people there concentrating on their meal.She glanced down at her watch and sip her red wine, she had been here for close to an hour now, but he was not still here, the people she had met in the past, no one dares to keep her this long. She sips her wine again, her eyes watching the entrance at everyone that enter the door.She heard the glass door open and there the person she had been expecting, dressed in a grey top and black plain trousers, looking handsome and dazzling, her crush, the man she drools over his pictures every time she looks at it, he was stunning.Russeli Walsh POV.I smile when I saw the lady I was going to meet, one other victim I will have to break her heart, she was looking at me with a parted lips, I was sure she was admiring me, I love dressing up for my date,
Malinda POVI sat down on her desk in the maid room at my bosses house, he had given me a place to stay, even if it was thin, it was still comfortable and plain, a small bed, a desk and a chair, besides it is a little wardrobe, walls are colourful and the whole room smell nice.I was rewriting my boss' son's note. It was difficult to see the part which I spilt water on, but I know I have to finish this up and hand it over to him if I want to keep my job, and whereas I want to stay out of his sight.I heard my phone ring and I saw the caller ID, with a smile I answered, put the phone to my ear, I heard the little voice of a girl I cherish, someone I call my little sister and love. "Hello Annabel, how are you?""I am fine, auntie Malinda and you?" She asked with a little c
Russeli's POV.After she left the hall, I thought it was my moment of victory as I leaned back to the chair, but the whispers I heard in my back made me stop smiling, many eyes were on me and I am sure that they must have recognised me.Girls are just so troublesome, I.wish I had made her leave in a less crowded place, I stood up and went after her.Outside the hall, I saw her walking away. "Yvonne, Yvonne!" I called out but she didn't stop so I ran to her and held her hands.She halts and turns to me in anger. "Why, why are you after me?" She asked me and I sighed in my heart, I had only come after her because I couldn't bear the stare I received inside and she would have just not spoken it out loud that I was using her."Th
Russell POVI opened my eyes and closed them immediately because of the bright light that came in through my window. I turned around and sat up. It was seven in the morning and I was supposed to meet my dad to talk to him today.I quickly got up from bed and saw the cup of water the maid brought, it was still untouched which made me wonder how I happened to fall asleep last night.I could not see the bottle of white wine I took last night, but I know I drank some alcohol, I can't remember what happened last night, I don't like drinking, I hate drinking for what it does to me.I rub my head softly and walk into the bathroom, I turn on the shower and stood on it for a long time, still trying to remember what I did last night, I knew I was angry since she told me she
Russell POVI sat down on the chair in the living room with my legs crossed as I wait for the maid to be out at the sitting with my note, since I had nothing to do today and I was not in the mood to go to one of those boring dates my father do set for me, I decided to have a little bit of fun.I heard a soft footstep behind me and I knew she was the one like the house had only I and her inside. "Sit down." I pointed at the chair at my front when I knew she was close to me enough to hear."Huh!" The words I said surprised her and I looked up to see her face, raising the corner of my brow. She quickly looked at her foot and I smirked, she was one shy little maid. "I am not...""I know you're not supposed to sit down here." I interrupted her before she could finish. "But, s
