Maybe I was just hallucinating, I still have an empty stomach and it's starting to hurt. I want something to eat but I am still in his car. If I am not, maybe I could grab some street foods, my favorite. Giovanni looked in my direction while my eyes were wandering outside, looking for some stall where I could buy street food but it's an unlucky day for me as I can't see anything here. Seeing him do that, I quickly turned my face to him and saw his frowning face. "What are you looking for?" He asked me. "Street food stalls, I want to eat. Maybe you can drop me off there. I promise not to be late for later." I told him. I can't ask him to eat at that place since I know he will never do that. This man beside me is food conscious, and he will not risk his health for that kind of food. He is lucky he is rich and can afford anything in life but he never experienced eating the real delicious foods, and that was the thing he lacked. "It's dirty, let's just eat somewhere else." He told m

I took a deep breath as I stared at the entrance of this big building, in just a few steps I could already reach the door. The memories I tried to hide keep on flashing in my mind. I felt so helpless at that time. I am weak, and easy to fool. I trusted too much and that led me to an unforgettable event of my life. I bit my lips as I closed my eyes when I felt someone behind me, I knew it was him. It was Giovanni who took me here. I really don't want to, but because this is part of my work and I am more conscious about what might happen now, I need to face my fear. Giovanni has nothing to do with that, well he has.I did not tell him what happened at that time. But he knew I knew this place. It was him I bumped into, that is why I met him. But I don't have any plan to tell him what I experienced in this place. I don't want to be a burden, he is here for business. And they will surely get mad at me once I mess this up again. I already learned my lesson."Why are you not coming in? Let's

I hugged myself as I felt the cold breeze coming through my body. If I just knew that we would go here, I should have brought me some jacket.I thought we were heading back home after the meeting but it seems like this man has another plan."What are we going to do here?" I asked him. The midnight is coming, and the road is clean, though there are still some vehicles passing by. But we are here beside it as if waiting for something. The car was parked a bit far from us. On the other side of the road I can see a 24/7 porridge store in front of us, there is a woman cleaning the tables and there are some customers eating there. Giovanni keeps on looking at his phone. Who's the one he is waiting for? I don't have any idea why we went here, and why we are still here."Do you want to go home now?" He asked, maybe noticed that I was confused. I rolled my eyes. I am dying to lay on my bed. I am so tired. But I can't say no to him, although this day is my day off. He already got it, so better

Giovanni? It should be him, or someone who left something here on this floor. I hope this person is true now.However, my mind's saying and hoping that person to be him, to be Giovanni."Hey? Is there someone out there? Please help me! I have been locked up here in the stock room! Help! Hello? Please! Take me out of here!" I did all my best to make that a best shot and take the attention of whoever that person was. I clearly heard footsteps so there must be someone. It took a few minutes but there was no response, I was losing control until I could not take it anymore and cried. I bit my lips to suppress the noise I was making. In the end, I am still that little girl, Ariadne who was fond of tears, who liked crying whenever she was hurt. I thought because of the things that happened to me, I can manage to have the courage to fight these tears and not let other people see my weak side anymore. I had been through many experiences that can make me strong but still, I remained a crybaby.

"N-no…" I said and bit my lips. I saw his eyes, his beautiful eyes looking all over my face. He can now see my sacred face. I gulped when I saw his cold stare at me, I can't look directly at him, I just can't take it. I can now feel his breath, we are so close to each other. And it's making me conscious about how he see me now. It's so close that my eyes can see his whole face. How can be this man don't have pores? He is making me jealous about his skin. It was white and clear. Even me, a girl will be insecure about how I look when I am with him. He was just a beautiful man.Before my mind could fly away and be taken by this demon. I tried my best to pull myself up. He immediately supported my back. I clean my clothes using my hands without taking a glance at him. I know he is still looking at me. "Are you afraid?" He asked. He was still holding the gun. I shook my head. "No." I said with confidence and raised my head to meet his gaze. He smirked, of course, he knew that I was lying
