Chapter 3 The Meeting

We have lived in this part of city for almost three weeks, I work two part time jobs with my best friend Grace, my dad works for a local shopping mall. I didn't know why he choose this small unpopular city out all cities in the county. I mean we used to live in New York city and my dad was a successful accountant before we sold everything to save my mom from cancer but she still died. Maybe dad needed a fresh start from all the city hassle.

I prepared myself for my job and called Grace on my way out, everything was normal and going smoothly till a limousine stopped in front of the ice cream place. A huge man came out of the front passenger side of the limousine, he walked towards the back, pulled the door open and a little blonde girl stepped out of the limousine, was still admiring her when the blue eyed handsome man in black cloths stepped out too. He was just so handsome and breathtaking like the Knight in shinning armour that my mom told me in her stories. It may seem absurd but she believed in true love, the man made specially for her that's going to sweep her off her feet and live happily ever after with her. They both entered the ice cream shop and I was still captured by his looks, when I was brought back to reality by the little girls voice.

"Hey ugly, stop drooling over my uncle and get me ice cream".

I looked down to see the little girl from earlier looking at me.

" What flavour"

"A little bit of everything".

"That will be expensive, are you sure your uncle doesn't mind".

She nodded "hey am sorry for calling you ugly, am just sad my dad ditched me to go out with some whor*".

" Hey, don't curse".

" Everyone in my family does, my ice cream please".

"Here".

She took her ice cream from me and went to the man from earlier, he kissed her forehead and continued reading something in his phone. He looked stylish and rich and he looked out of place here.There were two men whom I presume to be their body guard outside.

In a few minutes the girl was done and the man came to pay the bill, he gave me a thousand dollar note and told me to keep the change.

" Sir! sir!!"

He asked the girl to go to the guys at the door and turned his head to me.

"I heard your little girl curse ,so I............"

"You what?"

"I decided to tell you, so you can help correct her cause it isn't a good thing".

" I can see that you poke nose in everything you see, mind your business whore".

He turned and left, As they were driving off the girl turned and waved at me.The rest of the day was uneventful and when I was done with my shifts, I went home.

On my way up the stairs, I noticed 3 men on the staircase, i have not seen those faces since we moved in here and they were not so friendly face so I raced up the stairs, turned back only to see if they were following me, I took a deep sigh of relief when I saw no one, I opened my door only to see someone had a gun at my Dad's head and i did not know when i let out a scream, someone grabbed me from behind and pushed me into the house, turned to see the 3 men I saw earlier at the stairs standing at the door while one closed the door, this is the end was all I could think of.

"Hello"

I turned to see who was talking and there he was. He was quite a tall figure, wildly handsome but yet couldn't understand what he is doing in our apartment, I was scared to the bones and shivering.
