Marie stared at Anna as she walked into the elevator. She was dressed in a formal, blue gown and a red-bottom three inches heel. Her hair was packed up tightly into a bun, and it was so firm that it looked like she had been drafted to fight at a war front. Marie was taken aback, because Anna was the last person she would expect to see, and wanted to see in this situation of hers.The most striking thing about Anna’s appearance was the smudge of her lipstick across her lips. She always wore bold red lipstick, so it was very obvious that the lipstick was smudged.“Had she and Drey been making out?”“Or did she accidentally rub it off on a surface?”“But, she is coming from the direction of his office?”A million thoughts ran through Marie’s head in that split second that she almost did notice that Anna nodded her head as if to either green or thank her for waiting. Marie, in turn, also nodded her head once in response to her greeting or whatever that was. The elevator closed, and both o
Marie and Drey stared intently at each other as if they were in some kind of staring contest, but with a lot of pent up sexual tension. They were barely an inch away from each other, and Drey looked directly into Marie’s eyes to stir a reaction from her. After a full minute of torturing each other with looks, Drey grabbed Marie by her wrist, and dragged her all the way to his working table.“Sit” he commanded her in a husky voice, referring to the work table behind her. Marie looked back and forth between Drey and his table wondering what kind of absurd request that was. Refusing to get into another trouble with him, she tried to sit on the table, but it was a bit higher than her bum level.Drey noticed her struggle and held her by the waist, in order to assist her sit on the table comfortably. Electric sparks flew through the air, and Marie’s mind went back to the last dinner, where he had held her by the waist most of the event. She was wondering where this whole situation was going
It was a cold, chilly and long night. The city lights were on in their fullest capacity, and were reflecting into the bar where Marie Parker sat.Inside the bar, people were grinding their bodies against each other, and the music was blasting loudly in their ears while people were engrossed in the rhythm-filled night.It was a Friday night, and half of the city were in one club or lounge trying to de-stress from the exhausting week they had just had.However, Marie couldn’t care any less about her environment, as she kept downing shots of alcohol like there were numerous cans of soda she often drank daily.Raising another shot to her mouth, she looked at her ring finger where an engagement ring laid some hours ago. She felt hot tears forming in her eyes, and a strong sensation down in her throat.She looked up, and blinked rapidly trying to get the tears to stop from rolling down her eyes.Ignoring that feeling, she gulped the shot, and shook slightly at the sour taste.“Marie, you re
Marie stirred in her sleep, as light penetrated directly from the window to her eyes.She groaned loudly , and opened her eyes slowly because she never sleeps with her window blinds open.A strong wave of headache hit her, and she winced Loudly in pain. She studied her surroundings, and went into full panic mode. She was in a large unfamiliar room, on a bed thrice the size of her bed back home. She tried to stand up, but the pain she was feeling wouldn’t let her. “Did I get drunk again?” She thought to herself, while almost pulling her hairs out in agonyShe got drunk for the first time in high school, and she promised herself never to do it again. It was at a pool party organized by one of the popular girls in school, so everyone who was anyone was present. Engrossed in the moment, she kept taking several shots while dancing crazily. After some time, she had taken more than she could handle, and she naturally went ahead to puke on herself while in the middle of the dance floor. Th
Marie stared out the black limousine she was bundled into by the scary-looking man. Her face was full of dried up tears. She had cried, screamed, fought and done everything within her little capability to avoid being taken away by the members of the gang.However, neither her father nor mother moved to rescue her or intervene. Till now, she doesn’t know the reason she is being carried away, so she just decides to give up, and let fate decide as she cannot win the battle, whatever it is.After two full hours of driving, the driver took a turn into what seemed like the woods, and she began to panic immediately.“What if they’re taking me into the woods to kill me” “Is this how my miserable life will come to an end?”Her thoughts began to travel all over the place, as they drove deeper into the forest.Just when she was about to shout for help, the most magnificent mansion she had ever seen came into view. A little gasp escaped her mouth as the gigantic gate opened by itself slowly, and
The big boss happened to be Drey Sandler, son of the biggest Mafia Boss in this whole of the city. The man with whom she encountered last night. However, she couldn’t recognize him, but he did.Drey was pretty shocked to see that his newly acquired property is the same person he had a one night stand with just the day before. However, he perfectly masked his shock, and scanned the young lady in front of him.Marie opened her mouth in awe unconsciously as she looked at the man behind the desk. He was completely different from what she had imagined he would look like. It was just like in the stories, but unlike books, she was a victim and she wasn’t finding anything funny.He cleared his throat, and gave them his most serious look“Bob, excuse us” he said with a straight face.Immediately Bob stepped out, Drey looked back at the girl probably expecting her to break character, or say something about their encounter , but she stood there, staring blankly.“Can I know why I have been kidna
“We just received intel that there’s been a breach in the main site where we keep our top and private information.” Bob said all in one breath as he rushed into the living room.The atmosphere immediately changed, and Marie dropped the plate of spaghetti she was intensely feeding on to assess the situation. She saw how Drey clenched his fists tightly, and rose up to immediately snatch the tablet off Bob’s hand.He stared at the tablet intently and she could see his face muscles tense up. “Who could do such a thing? I made sure there were no loopholes upon creation of this site!” Drey thundered, as he faced Bob who was also visibly panicking.Marie didn’t know exactly how to act, or what to do, but she knew dinner for that night was ruined, and she hadn’t properly eaten.Some seconds later, two other men dressed in all black rushed into the dining area as well, and one of them whispered something into Drey’s ears. Drey slammed his fists heavily on the table, and Marie flinched from t
Marie turned for the sixth time on her bed in one night and sighed heavily. After the whole drama that happened at dinner last night, she had found it impossible to sleep. The adrenaline from solving a major case was unmatched, so she felt giddy. For the first time in a while, she was satisfied.It was 3am in the morning, and she had barely been able to catch two hours of sleep altogether. The bed was messy from the amount of times she had rolled on the bed. She doesn’t know why, but her mind was all over the place.Of course, there was so much to think about but she couldn’t exactly say what was going through her head. Tired of the struggle to sleep, she finally got off the bed and sat. “Hot milk would slap right now” Marie thought to herself in the dimly lit room.She remembered how her mother would always prepare hot milk and bake cookies for her elder sister whenever she was having difficulty sleeping. Marie, a bit envious of that, would also pretend to have sleeping problems ju
