"You wanna know what punishment is waiting for you?" I let out a sigh. I inhaled his menthol breath since he was so close. My knees were wobbling, and I was about to fall, luckily Raven held my waist.
"Are you that terrified, baby?" he asked quietly. I closed my eyes, unable to bear his strength.
My passionate heart was warring, I felt weak every time he touched me, and even when he held my hand, my heart felt something strange that I refused to name. That's weird, I wanna get rid of this kind of emotion to him.
He sniffs my neck, hair, and even my ear; his breath gives heat to my body, gosh, how could I perceive this to a Smith? God, take me away from this temptation in front of me. I give my trust to you because neither I nor I don't know what to do whenever Axl Raven is well-nigh by my side. I felt like I was being hypnotized by him, the way he stared at me, his touch, his words—it's kind of like I wanted to do whatever he wanted. When in fact, I shouldn't feel that way about him. It should be him who felt like this towards me, not the other way around.
"You smell so good, baby." I inhale all my breath, trying not to make any move or noise. I can't just end up like this.
Gosh, no words would ever come out of my mouth, as if something were blocking my throat and preventing me from speaking. "G-get off me, sir." I managed to muster up the courage to say that to him. But he was so heavy that even if I doubled my strength, I still couldn't push him away.
He grabbed my two hands that were on his chest as I attempted to push him. I was on the edge of my table, trying to push him away from the front because he seemed to like what was going on between us.
"You're not going anywhere." His gruff voice made me feel so weak. I shouldn't feel it; I boosted my strength to escape from his grip.
"L-let me go, sir." I sounded desperate to loosen his hands on my wrist or away from me. I'm getting hurt by what he's doing so I want to get away. Fortunately, after a few minutes of arguing, he then let himself be pushed by me.
My hands hurt from pressing him so hard. When I was looking back at him, he had turned away and had been seated on his swivel chair with dark eyes.
"You can go home." He gave me a cold look, and I swallowed the way he looked at me. Did I say something that bothered or offended him?
"But it's not time yet." I looked at my watch.
"I said you can leave." I kept my mouth shut when he gave me a deep look, so I just fixed my things instead of fighting with him. He seems to not be in a good mood.
When I finally arrived at the parking lot, I quickly took out my automobile's handheld device to sound it, as I necessary to find it among the many cars there. When I realized where the tone was coming from, I ran there right away, but my face switched nasty when I spotted Roux sitting there.
"Did you ask my permission to sit in my car?" I inquired, and when he saw me, his face lit up and he hopped out.
"Hi there!" he waved at me, but I ignored him and dashed to the door. "Hey, stop there." He moves briskly and then he blocks himself, so I can't get into my car.
I flashed him a warning look, but he simply ignored it. That's why I walked to the opposite side, but he kept doing the same. Because of what he was doing at the moment, smoke began to come out of my nose.
"You stop this immediately, or I'll call the cops!" I told him. I do not want to create any instances because I am new. But the Smith brothers are testing my patience.
"Look," he tried to explain, but I wasn't interested, so I concentrated my attention even more on him. "I just want us to talk.”
"I don't have time for it, Roux!" I told him harshly, I was trying not to be involved with him for the moment. Lethia might think I'm breaking what we have been talking about. That's the last thing I would do. It's my last ace when my deal with Raven doesn't work.
"Please, Blair, listen to me." He held my hand. I felt disgusted with it, and I took it off immediately because I felt I was too dirty.
"Did you listen to me when I begged you to hear me out, Roux? You didn't, right?" I threw a dagger of a look at him as I brought my eyes closer to him. "When I needed your ear, you did nothing but ignore me! So how dare you command me to listen to you?!" I blurted out, and he stiffened. "Don't command me to do what I want, Roux; I'm not your puppy anymore." I added and pulled him out of my way since I wanted to go home.
My heart constricted as I drove down the highway, and I had grown frustrated over every single thing. Even though I stated the entire thing I wanted to convey, my heart didn't cease to grieve. I let out an in-depth gasp and drove faster into my house. After I got there, my bedroom suddenly clutched me closely enough, and started to wail.
"Damn it!" I cried out loud in my room while staring at the ceiling. The madness that I've felt became tears falling down my cheeks because, no matter how angry I am, I can't pour it out. I can't give everything because I had a plan to make—a plan that shouldn't be ruined, a plan that shouldn't be ruined just because of a mistake.
That night, I allowed myself to let it all out till I felt better. During that moment, I convinced myself to be cheerful and do anything to distract myself because what else would I do?
The following day, I awoke as if nothing had happened. Fortunately, the eye cream I applied did not cause my eyes to sting like they did when I cried last night. I look in the mirror and admire my lovely smile knowing my journey has not ended there. I changed my clothing to include a white t-shirt underneath, a peach jacket with matching wrap skirts, and beige PVC/clear sandals. All is perfect and good to go.
I entered the company as if nothing had occurred; the personnel greeted me with a smile, which was unusual for me, but I just let it go. That was preferable to torturing me since I might not be able to hold back, and I will also pluck their eyes. I just smiled in return as I prepared to enter Raven's office.
I breathe in and out before knocking on the door, but as it opens, my hands stop halfway. Roux was with Lethia like a parasite clinging to her spouse, and their parents were also present. My last glance fell on the man who had failed to gaze upon me. They flashed me a sardonic smirk, and I reciprocated; they could not be better than me.
"So you are working here, golddigger?" Mrs. Smith began to bark. I clenched my teeth, trying not to utter cruel things since, as much as possible, I needed to remain calm. I'd rehearsed for this particular occasion, mastered what I needed to do, and was looking ahead to it.
“Don't start, Mom," Raven screamed furiously. Everybody in the vicinity became tranquil, as if they had gotten caught up in what they were conducting.
"No! How dare she show up here?! The thickness of her face!" She pointed at me, embarrassing me in front of flood victims in this region. Fvck! I didn't see this coming, but I needed to make myself miserable to persuade everybody of the reality that I was merely an innocent victim, which I absolutely was.
"Do you want to mess up our lives?!"
"No, Mrs. Smith, I won't do that." I shook my head, a terrific grimace on my face. "I could never do that." I clapped my fists together and hauled my teardrops to drop.
"Stop the act, you bitch!" She rapidly approached me and grabbed my hair firmly, making my scalp feel strained.
"Ahhh!" I groaned in pain. Roux and Raven were with me, and Mr. Smith was holding Mrs. Smith.
"That bitch is a pain in our ass!" she yelled, attempting to reach me, but the two brothers pulled me aside.
“Roux." Lethia's voice echoed throughout the area, drawing everyone's attention to her. "What are you doing?" she asked, looking first at me and then at Roux. Everyone remained silent while Roux considered whether he would let me go or stay.
He looked at me and swallowed hard. I look away since I know what will happen next.
