Aneesa’s pov"He is being helpful in his own way, " I said. It did not feel true. "He is helping me at work while my husband is away. One of my coworkers, Sarah caused a scene today. She said something about me.""She said you were sleeping with your brother-in-law? " my mother said, like it was a fact.I was surprised. "How did you know?""Oh, Anessa do not be silly. People. News travels fast. You slapped her I hear? Good for you even if it was not very nice.""I did not come here to talk about that " I said, leaning over the table. "I came here to get away from work. I wanted to talk about something, anything else.""That brings me to the point," she said, her voice low and smooth. She put her glass down. Leaned in till her perfume started making me feel sick. "Anessa look at you. You are nervous and scared. This life is not good for you.""I am fine Mom, " I said again. My voice was shaking."You are not fine. You are like a bird in a cage and it is closing in on you. That is why I

Aneesa’s povI was confused as to why he was there. It didn’t make any sense to me. "Anessa," he said, his voice welcoming. He stepped over a stack of bank statements, his hands smoothly sliding into his pockets. "I did not expect you to come back soon. I thought you would be out until the late hours drowning the afternoon's drama in expensive cocktails."It was meant to be a joke but all it did was irritate me. I looked around then pointed at the wreckage in the room."What is all this Karl? Why are there many files scattered on the ground? It looks like a hurricane hit a filing cabinet." I looked at the files and papers over the floor.Karl looked down at the papers at his feet, then back at me, his expression shifting into one of casual nonchalance. "This? Oh I just wanted to look for something. I was looking for a file. An old record of the family holdings from before I left. I thought it might be in one of the boxes Darius moved into storage here." He seemed interested in findin

Aneesa’s povThe black silk of my dress felt like a second skin, cold and slick. I looked around the restaurant we were seated in as I noticed him staring at me from across the seat.Karl had his shirt unbuttoned at the top as his chest hair showed. This looked like a date even when it wasn’t."So," he said, looking at me. His eyes went from my throat to my face. "The menu here is a bit much is it not? Let me guess what you want to eat."I put my chin on my hand then watched him. "You think you know what I like to eat after two days Karl? That is pretty bold of you.""I have a good feeling about these things," he said quietly. His thumb was moving on the stem of his wine glass. "I am going to guess... The octopus with garlic and sea urchin foam."I gave a small laugh, "Octopus and sea urchin foam? That is a weird choice. I hope you are not trying to impress me with your tastes, Karl because I am not impressed."Karl laughed, a hearty sound. "You do not like octopus then?""I want a s

Aneesa’s povWe arrived at the party as he opened his side of the door, rounded the car, then opened my side with a smile on his face.It was hard to see this man was trying all of this just to be on my good side but to be honest, I couldn’t tell any sort of animosity within him. He looked and acted like a nice person.“Thanks,” I appreciated the man before taking my hand from his and standing to my full height.It was an ordinary house warming party. Why did he make me dress up like this? I felt too overdressed for this occasion and he noticed my irritation.“I’m sorry,” he smiled, leading me down the driveway and into the large house. “I didn’t know it would be like this. The poor idiot told me it would be a great party with lots of high level friends. I didn’t know this was how it would be.”I couldn’t blame him, so all I did was smile at him.“It’s fine. Let’s just get this over with.”We entered and noticed that his friend hadn’t totally lied. There were a few guests here who wer

Karl’s povThe air in the room changed and it became really thick and tense just like I had planned. I looked at the three men I met on the street and I have to say they were pretty good at acting. Their leader smiled as I looked at Anessa who was scared."We can just walk away, " she whispered to me her voice was calm but I could hear the fear in it.I did not move. I could not move. This was the moment I was waiting for. I clenched my fists feeling my heart beat fast. I was ready for this."How about you let her go? " I said to the leader, trying to sound angry and protective.The leader took a step forward and his friends were behind him. He gave me a smile. "I think it is too late for that, " he said. "I think you are trying to be a hero."He reached out to grab Anessa's arm again. That was my signal. I stepped in front of her. Gently pushed her behind my back."I said back off,” I told the leader, pointing my finger at him. "She is with me, you are in wrong place looking at the
