Chapter 3
Victor showed the video to Mr Jack and Mrs Hampson that Nathan Scot is truly alive and they were both upset.“ How can this be possible? I shut him myself, this can’t be possible”Mr Jack said and Mrs Hampson try to think.“ How could be this possible? I guess we need to investigate about this because Nathan must die, he killed our only son” she said in anger.“ You should not worry, we will find a way to bring him down” he said.“ What surprised me the most is that, he does not even have traces of bullet on his head and no mark. Tell me Jack! Are sure you shut the right person?” Mrs Hampson asked.“ Of course! I did. He was the one I shut. This is not my imagination at least it was on the news” he said.“ This looks like a prank to me. What if Nathan had made fool out of us?” She asked.“ You are right about” he said and they both stare at each other.Ella and Jerry went downstairs and Nathan was surprised to see Ella in the same red dress.“ I thought I told Rosa to give you another dress?” He said and Ella nods her head, Jerry looked at her.“ You are right sir but the dresses, she gave ti me are too short, I don’t like them” she said and Nathan laugh and smiled.“ Didn’t you tell me that you are wearing your ex bosses dress?” Nathan asked.“ Yes, you are right sir but I don’t we’re short dress as well” she said.“ That is strange” Nathan said.“ Very strange, I have never seen a girl of this generation that like dresses like this. Maybe this are part of your imagination, in the cartoon world” Nathan said and smiled.“ No, this not my imagination but this how we dress where I come from” she said.“ Where are you from?” Nathan asked and Ella no where in the human world.“ I am sure, she must be from the ghetto in New York” Jerry said and Nathan and Jerry laugh and Ella grabbed that.“ Yes, I am from the New York ghetto” she said.“ How did you get to the bush, I was?” Nathan asked.“ Like I told you, I was fired from my former workplace, I was working as a maid” she said.“ Tell me Ella, how did it happen? How did I come back to life, I don’t have mark, no even traces of bullet on my head” he said.“ I don’t know what you are talking about sir” she said.“ Don’t you dare lie to me Ella. I know you know something about it. I promise i won’t hurt you if you tell me but I just want to thank the person” he said.“ I don’t know what you are talking about sir, I know nothing about all this question” she said and Jerry had yelled at her.“She should swear on her parents live that you now nothing about it” Jerry said.“ You don’t even know my parents” she said.“ its doesn’t matter” he says.“ He does matter to me” she says and the argument continues and Nathan yells at them ti stopped.“ Why are you not with your parents? I mean you are too young to be on the street” Nathan said.“ You are right but I was banished from them when I refuse to get married to who they betrothed me to” she said and Nathan stood up from his chaire.“ What if this is was your imagination sir? What if the person never shut you?” She said and Nathan yelled at her.“ This was not my imagination, was attacked and shit dead and woke up and saw you” he said in anger.“ It was just coincidence, I came to you the same time you woke up, I saw you and the floor and I came closer to you to check what was happening. Is that a crime to do?” She ask.“ When you came to me. Didn’t you see that I was shut dead?” He asked.“ No, I saw nothing” she replied.“ Are you sure about this?” He asked.“ Yes, I am telling the truth” she replied.“ Fine, Jerry! You should take her to shop and let her choose what ever she will confortable on, since I don’t have secretary then you will be my secretary from tomorrow on” he said and he left, Jerry and Nathan stare at each other.“ You can come with me this way” Jerry said.“ How do you want me to come with you?” She asked.“ You shouts manger one of the dresses Rosa gave to you and don’t argue with me” he said and he left her standing, Ella went upstairs to the room, she looked at the dresses and still, she can’t wear them.“ I can’t wear this and I won’t. I am a Princess and I can’t watch my self dress this way, the human world is so cruel that people die every day and I can’t dress decent”she said and she went back downstairs to Jerry.“ Why are you still dressed this way?” He asked.“ I am sorry but I can’t see my self on those dresses” she said.“ You are such a fool” Jerry said and they both went out of the house, he took her out for shopping, Ella a hose some Barbie gown.“ You can’t wear this to work” Jerry said.“ I look more confortable on this” she said.“ Suite yourself then” he said and he left.“ What is his problem? This is what I want” she said and and Jerry paid for the dresses and he drove back home, she was about get down from the car and Jerry stopped her.“ All eyes on you” he said and Ella gets down the car and she went to the guest room, she dropped the what she shopped and she went to the mirror and she did her magic to call her mother by whispering.“ Mother! Mother! Mother!” She says and her mother appeared to her through the window.“ Ella! You look happy” her mother said.“ Yes mother, I guess the human are good, I was accepted by them but I can’t still want to come to my own world so I can comfortable, I can’t practice my magic here” she said.“ I promise soon, you will be back” her mother said.“ I missed you so much mother” she says.“ I miss you more honey” her mother said and they both smiled and her mother disappeared back and she called on her wolf that always helped and it appeared to her in the mirror.“ Wolfi! I missed you, I promise I will be back soon” she said.“ I can’t wait for you to be back” Wolfi said and Ella heard someone coming.“ You need to leave now, someone is coming, there was not know that I am a witch and I practice magic, I don’t know what will happen if they do” she said and the wolf disappeared, Rosa entered and Ella went to the bed.“ Boss asked me to checked on you if you are fine” Rosa said.“ I am fine. Thanks, you can leave. Good night”Ella said and Rosa smiled and she went out of the room, Ella lay on the bed and she slept off.Chapter 4It’s the next morning, Ella woke up, she have her bath, brushed her teeth and she dressed up in one of her Barbie pink dress, Rosa came in and saw her dressed like a princess.“ Ella! What are you wearing?”Rosa ask.“ Don’t you like the dress? I am off to work” she said and Rosa laugh.“ Why are you laughing?” She asked and Rosa was still laughing.“ Don’t tell me you are dressing this way to work because it’s not going to work for boss” Rosa said.“ I can’t dressed up in what you gave me yesterday” she said.“ Why can’t you Ella?” Rosa asked.“ Because I will feel uncomfortable” she replied and the driver knocked and Ella had ask him to come in.“ Good morning Miss Ella, boss had asked me to drive you to the office” the driver said.“ Where is Nathan?” She asked.“ He already left fir office” the driver replied.“ What about Jerry?”she asked.“ He left already! Tell me are you set to go to work now because, Boss had said you shouldn’t be late for work in your first day” the
Chapter 5 The driver drop Ella and Ruby in the grils store, Ruby chose sexy dress for her and she had asked to to try a yellow bodycorn dress and she was looking so sexy and pretty in it.“ Wow! You look so good on this dress” Ruby said but Ella was looking shy and uncomfortable ok the dress, Ruby noticed.“ Losing yourself, you are looking so beautiful, we should leave now” Ruby said and they both left but Ella was still looking shy on the dress.An hour later, the driver dropped them back to the company and they both went down from the car, Ruby took her back inside the company and the staff stare at her, she took her to Nathan’s office, Jerry saw her and he was surprised to see that she was beautiful girl, Nathan raised his head and he saw her, she was beautiful, he admired her and can’t take his eyes off her, Ella was shy and she shook her head down her feed.“ Wow, you so beautiful” Nathan said and Ruby smiles.“ You did a nice job Ruby” Jerry said and Ruby smiled.“ Yes, she d
Ella If Wolfi Anonymous were a real organization, I’d be standing at the front of the room staring out over in the mirro waiting for her Wolfi to appear in the mirror , “Hi, Ella.”Although maybe Wolfi is too strong a word. I like to consider myself more of an observer. A witch,, really, of life. Or more specifically, of other people’s lives. Just because they have no idea I’m watching them is beside the point. I lean back in my witch wold wold as a princess while my fingers pluck at the torn leather of the arm rest. I should probably upgrade to something less tattered, but this one has the perfect imprint of my ass and it’s comfortable. It’s a pain breaking in a new one.My gaze drifts to the giant computer monitor on my desk. One of many that fill my small inner sanctum I keep cut off from the outside world. On the screen are four video feeds separated into quadrants. Each square displays different angles of two different locations. And four different people I might have developed
My jaw clenches so hard, it’s a wonder my teeth don’t break. A better man would care that his much younger step-sister had just been used to pay a debt, but that’s not what pisses me off. It’s the fact that Ruby lost more of my money to the Hampson. Whatever pittance my worthless step-Da has left is also my money. Just as soon as I take care of him. He has no idea how many of his men have turned their backs on him. Lost respect for him. Their loyalties have switched to someone who has what it takes to gain control of Dublin. Who doesn’t give a fuck about truces. That someone is me.I’ve bided my time. Made more and more money, garnered high-powered business associates, and earned the respect—or perhaps, fear—of those who will soon belong to the most powerful organization in the city. The Hampson have ruled for too long. It’s time fresh blood reigns. I don’t intend on that being Ruby, Jack Hampson, or any of his sons either.“Do you think he’ll marry her?”“Ruby?” I huff out a breath.
“Is my guest settled?”“Yes, sir. She was just starting to come around.”“I take it she didn’t come quietly?” Which should be obvious considering the condition he brought her in, but I want to know what to expect when she wakes. Fear or rage? I’d prefer the latter rather than dealing with tears.Cray coughs and Diana glances away before meeting my eyes again. “I believe her exact words were ‘you can tell Mr. Hampson to go fuck himself’.”The silence hangs for a beat and then I throw my head back and laugh. My two men share a glance. I’m not one for laughing. They probably didn’t think I even knew how. It does sound a bit rusty. But at least my question has been answered. I should expect one pissed off woman when she finally awakens. And based on the banging and yelling that reaches me, that would be now.“That will be all.” I dismiss the two men who leave the room with a brief nod and walk out the front door.Taking my time, I wander out of the kitchen and through the rest of the hous
To my surprise, he doesn’t have a rebuttal. Instead, his expression clears and he dishes out his own helping. The rest of the meal is eaten in silence. Which is fine by me. I’m not sure I could speak civilly anyway. For the moment, I’ll play nice—or as nice as I can make myself play—and when he gets bored, I’ll go home.Despite my head start and my hunger, Nathan is finished before I am. He sets his silverware on his plate and pushes it away from him. He rests his clasped hands on the edge of the table. “Did the clothes in the closet fit?”I’d inspected the entirety of the bedroom and bathroom I’d been given after he had left earlier. A ridiculous amount of women’s clothes—none to my taste—were hung in the closet. If they were there for me, then my captor doesn’t know shit about me. I didn’t touch a single article.“Don’t know. Didn’t try them on,” I mumble through a mouth full of food.Nathan’s jaw clenches and he inhales deeply through his nose like he’s trying to breathe in patienc
“Oh, yes.” I wave my hand around in a flippant gesture. “I’ve managed to take two naps and walked at least three miles back and forth across the floor of this well-appointed prison cell, thank you, very much.”His lips flatten. “Perhaps, instead of a prison cell, you might think of this as your…home away from home. A vacation, if you will.”I laugh without humor. “If this were a vacation, I’d be sitting on the beach in the Maldives, under a large umbrella, drinking a stiff cocktail brought to me by a stunningly gorgeous Italian named Raffaele.”Nathan cocks his head. “I don’t really picture you as a beach go-er. I see you more on a yacht, cruising around the Mediterranean, lying on the deck completely naked, soaking up the sun, while I bring you a large glass of red wine and rub lotion on your back. And front.”The picture he paints appears unwillingly in my head. I can almost feel the sun heating my skin—I’ll ignore the fact that I burn like a lobster—and a dark shadow forming over m
She shifts in her chair. “That sounds like a neat trick to have.”“It does, doesn’t it? So, why don’t you tell me what you’re really hiding.”Imogen sits quietly for minutes. I can almost see her mind spinning. The stories she’s making up. I patiently wait for what she’s going to say next. “Fine. I’m a hacker.”I blink. Of all the things she could have confessed, that certainly wasn’t in the top five. Probably not even the top ten. I also believe her. It makes sense, really. “A hacker.”“What? You think I’m lying?”“Actually, no, I don’t. I’m just a little surprised. Something that doesn’t happen often. Are you any good?”Ella straightens and tips her chin up a bit. “One of the best, as a matter of fact.”A smile splits my face. “Now that doesn’t surprise me.”Just then, her stomach growls. Of course, our lunch has long grown cold. I pick the box up I’d set in front of her and place it back in the bag. “It would appear you’ll have to sample McCarthy’s fish and chips another time. They
