Alyssa
My entire weekend sucked. It's now Wednesday and I haven't heard anything nor has she said anything .I sent her that video but she didn't react to it. I wonder if I should upload it to the internet. I was heading back into the apartment complex when I noticed a moving van,it seemed like someone else was moving in. They had to be rich to afford this cause trust me I didn't want to live in a place where just anyone could enter.
Dad and grandma have been in a silent war since that day , he doesn't say anything, he even sleeps in another room according to Mom . He doesn't eat with them, he doesn't speak to them. All he does is go to work and come home then lock himself away in a guest room. This is all her fault.
I was waiting to get an update on what was happening in the office but there was no news. As I stepped off the elevator I noticed the girl walking into the apartment next to mine. Her outfit was cute and she had one of the latest designer handbags. It seems like she could be a good friend or just someone to kill time with.
I walked over to her , “Hi I'm Alyssa I'm in the apartment next door.and you are ?”.
She looked at me and smiled. That's genuine.
“ My name is Marissa. I just moved in. oh my God I love your handbag ”.
“ I love yours more . Marissa, what do you do for work?”.
She started laughing , what's her deal?
“ Oh I don't work, my dad takes care of me. Why would I work when I'm the only daughter of a billionaire ”.
Now she is my kind of person.
“ Exactly some people fail to understand that we shouldn't have to work .Why should we when our parents take care of everything we need. If you're free later, how about we have some wine.at my place and get to know each other ”.
“I would love to, I have a new bottle that my parents bought for me to celebrate my new apartment”.
“ Great,Then we can have wine later, okay I'll see you”.
I headed into my apartment and dropped my bags. She seems nice. Her apartment looks well put together with expensive furniture . She didn't tell me her last name doesn't matter to me as long as she has money to keep up and look as good as me and buy the most expensive shit. She can be my friend.
My second phone was ringing. I knew who was calling.
“ Hello ”.
“ We had a deal didn't we ?”.
“ Yes ”.
“ Now then why would you do something like that”.
“ What are You talking about?”.
“ The video, you sent it to Ms Sommers ”.
How does he know that?
“ You may think because you used a fake name I won't find you Ms Jaques but I can,So think carefully before you do anything rash. I wouldn't want to have to come to your upscale apartment complex and do something to you?”.
“ You don't tell me what to do , I give the orders. I'm paying the money”.
This no good bastard thought he could scare me.
“ You know, I wondered why you wanted that done to her. In our profession no questions are asked. You do the job you're paid to do so when you called me with the last job I became inquisitive and did a little research. You're angry over a man choosing her over you. That's pathetic”.
“ Shut the fuck up. Our agreement ends here I'll find someone else to do this job”.
“ Haha Don't try that sweetie. If you so much as contact anyone else , I'll do the same thing to you that you had done to her . Do you see how easy it was to get her? It'll be easier with you ”.
“ Youuu…..”
He ended the call. Arghhhh how the hell did I get mixed up with this bastard. Grandmother, she'll know what to do.
I heard my doorbell ring so I got up to answer it when I opened it . Marissa was standing there.
“ Hi, is it a bad time ?”.
“ No it's not”.
She lifted up a bottle of wine .
“ why don't you come in, let me go grab some glasses”.
I left her I went to the kitchen I got the glasses and returned we were sitting in the living room drinking a bottle of 1947 Cheval Blanc. That was indeed an expensive wine.
She asked me about myself and I was only too happy to tell her. She was the daughter of one of the investors of our business.
“Have you heard the news?”
“ What News?”.
“Dominic chase. Ugh she's not up to our standard. I've partied with Dominic and Bennett when we were younger and that girl definitely does not fit in”.
My my my it seems I've found someone else that despises that bitch.
“I heard she was kidnapped and raped” ,I said slowly, pronouncing every word purposefully.
She almost spit the wine out
“What ? and he's still with her. Oh God how can he as a man be with someone like that”.
“Maybe she's good in bed Who knows” I said I needed to know her mindset
“ Good or not she's not up to our standard and she won't and can't be a part of our society. People won't accept her. I sure as hell don't want to see her in our house and I'll make sure daddy knows”.
Now this was a friend indeed. We were still on our topic of the Bitch when my doorbell rang again. I excused myself and opened it . When I checked no one was there only a box on the ground.
Who the fuck would just drop something atny door ?. That's when I saw my name. I picked it up,it wasn't heavy. I closed the door and walked back into the apartment.
“Oh you have a package”.
“I guess, probably from one of my many admirers”. I said smiling
“Of course, you're an amazing catch, why wouldn't men be fawning over you”. She started smiling
I proceed to open the box that's when a huge tarantula jumped out and into my hand.
“ Ahhhh ”. I shook it off immediately and ran straight to my room.
“Alyssa are you okay?”
“No , I'm scared of spiders” .
“Okay don't worry,I have it trapped in a container”.
“I'm not coming out as long as that thing is in here”.
“I have it trapped, trust me”.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes you'll see it”.
I peeked out of the room and saw her on the floor. I looked over the couch and saw she had it trapped under one of my glass jars.
“Can you please get rid of it”.
“Okay Can you give me the lid? I'll let it go outside”.
“Okay but I'm going back to my room”. I handed her the lid and ran straight back to my room.
This bastard it had to be him. When I find out who he really is he's done for. I heard movement outside.
“ I'll be back in a few I'm taking it outside”
“Okay and thank you”.
I made sure she was gone then I called grandmother. I told her what he said he was trying to blackmail me. She promised me she would handle it and asked me to go to the family house tomorrow morning.
I heard her return so I ended the call.
“ It's gone babe it's all good”. I opened the door and walked out.
“I'm terrified of snakes so it's not a big deal”.
“Thank you for understanding”.
“It's okay,but who the hell would do something like that?”
“Oh it's probably an ex boyfriend of mine, he's still bitter about the break up”.
We sat and talked until midnight then I went to bed. I don't know what time it was or why I woke up but ,I felt someone touch my foot. I opened my eyes and sat up. I saw a shadow Walk past my bathroom. Then another shadow Walk across my room door.
“ Who, Who's there ?”. Silence. I listened but didn't hear anything. I saw another shadow,I jumped up and slammed my room door shut.I turned on the light and stood in the room listening for about an hour. I walked out and turned the lights on. Everything was normal. I checked the guest room and bathroom . I checked closet's and kitchen I was alone. I checked the front door and it was locked from the inside, which means I was here alone.
Maybe it was my imagination or I was still dreaming. I turned off all the lights and headed back to bed. When my eyes opened the sunlight was pouring through my window. I got up and checked everything was normal. I made a cup of coffee and grabbed a shower. And headed to my home.
“Hi grandma”
“Come here Alyssa ”. She said
Dad was sitting there quietly and so was mom.
“What's going on? What happened?”. She asked quietly
“What have you been doing?”
“I haven't done anything. What's this about?”. I don't think grandmother would tell dad about what we talked about last night.
“ Of course you haven't done anything you little ingrate. Monday The Wilson family pulled their investment. Stating they can't do business with a company that can't handle their family problems. Then yesterday the Reid's the biggest investors pulled out stating the same thing ”.
Dad yelled.
