Chapter 3 III

Alexa's P.O.V

He snapped his fingers making me jump out of my trance.

"Wh..what d..do you mean?" I asked as I kept looking down.

He held my chin as he lifted it making me look into his eyes.

His eyes were magical but so dark.

He was staring at my eyes so intently that I felt naked under his gaze.

"I want to marry you" he confessed.

"WHAT?"

"Yes! Marry me", he said it so casually like it was nothing.

HOW CAN A MURDERER LIKE HIM ASK ME TO MARRY HIM?

He sensed my answer.

"I am expecting a yes .. OR..." he left the sentence unfinished as he smirked.

He stared at me from head to toe me as he stepped back walking out of the room casually.

I sat on the floor shocked and terrified.

What does he meant by that?

Without wasting a second, I quickly grabbed my bag running out of the store.

I walked so briskly home, with fear in my body.

He could be following me.

What if he kills me?

Since yesterday everything have been going wrong for me.

Just why?

I wished I didn't follow the voice last night.

I wish I wasn't curious, just maybe I wouldn't have been in this mess I am in right now.

Maybe he won't be taunting me like he did few minutes ago.

Thank God mum wasn't home when I got home.

I couldn't sleep when I got home.

I couldn't even eat.

I threw the food mum had cooked and dished out for me to eat.

I threw it outside tge house so she wouldn't find out and ask me questions.

The least I wanted is to make her worried.

How can I sleep?

Why did he want to marry me?

He is joking right?

You can't just meet someone today and the next day you propose marriage to them!

The hell!

I don't even know me.

I'm sure he doesn't even know much about me too.

"Brrr Brr" my phonr rang.

It was from an unknown number....

011-850-396-274.

Who could it be?

I picked it up.

"Hello?" I said as I swallowed my spit.

"Mmmm, you couldn't sleep love?

Its him!

I could recognize his voice.

His deep soft voice.

"Please I would never tell anyone about anything!" I pleaded.

"ssshh shhh Don't cry love! You need to save these tears for the time when you will be with me.... IN MY BED", he replied.

Shivers ran down my spine at the though of it.

"No! I won't marry a murderer!", I gathered my courage.

"Alexa, Alexa, How innocent you are! You are not marrying a murderer darling! You are marrying a ..MAFIA!"

I dropped the phone shaking my head in horror.

"No! No! this can't be true! Is he a Mafia?"

I hugged my knees sobbing.

Just then a text message notification came in.

011-850-396-274.

[Your count down has begun tick tock tick tock]

I threw my phone away covering my self with a blanket.

I'm scared.

I'm terrified.

I feel like he is here.

Like he is hunting me.

I'm his prey and he is the hunter.

JUSTIN'S P.O.V

"...that's all about her mother" my friend,Manuel, read out Alexa's mother information out to me.

"Okay?" I hummed.

"No criminal cases,doesn't owe any debt, never been arrested or in any kind of scandal." He continued.

"That's good. Pretty interesting. More reasons for me to have her daughter."

"What is about her mother dude? Looks like you are in a hurry Justin!", Manuel smirked.

"Aah, I am not in a hurry buddy! I'm desperate now", I closed my eyes imagining her lips.

"Then why do you want to take her mother? The same way you want to take her mother, is the same way you can have her. Just bring her here instead!"

"I will! But let me play with my kitten first", I said keeping my eyes closed.

IT TURNS ME ON WHEN SHE IS SCARED OF ME.

ALEXA'S P.O.V

"Alexa, Why are you still sleeping?", My mom came in the room trying to wake me up.

"Oh Lord! You have a fever!", she quickly touched my forehead getting anxious.

Since childhood, whenever I get scared of something or someone, I get high fever and I was badly scared of him.

I'm scared of what he might do to me.

If he can kill someone, definitely he would kill me if he has the chance.

" baby, are you alright. You have a fever. I won't let you go to work in this state." My mum said panicking.

I tried to sit up to calm her down.

"Mum, I'm fine. I'm just tired. I won't go to work today. I will just rest at home and before you know it, my temperature will be back to normal." I said trying to smile.

She looked at me for a while, like she was trying to read me.

"Are you sure? We can just go to the doc...."

"I'm fine mom. I'm really fine. Don't worry."

"Alright darling. I believe you." She sighed, before she left my room.

Sighs.

That wasn't hard.

I laid back on my bed, trying to get him away from my mind.

I picked up my phone and login to my Facebook to see if I can see anything that can make me laugh or at least smile.

After some few minutes of scrolling through my newsfeed and replying few chats, my door was jolted open.

Who the hell enters my room without knocking!!

Of course, its mom.

She never knock before entering.

Well, that only happens the days I don't lock my room door.

Hahaha.

I really love my privacy sometimes.

"I am heading to the market baby, I have to buy some fresh chicken to make you chicken soup. " My mother said wearing her coat properly.

"Okay, mum. Take care. " I said as she gave me peck on my forehead.

"Call me if you need anything. I won't be long. I love you baby."

"I love you too."

And off she went.

I went back to what I was doing before.

Yeah, I was facebooking.

I checked my message box to see few texts from Mitchell.

>>>>Hey girl, your mom called earlier. How are you feeling now ?

Lol.

Mum already informed her so quick.

I hope she haven't announced it to the world.

>>>>> I just have a fever. I will get better, don't worry.

>>>>>fever? Really?

She sent the text with a doubting emoji.

>>>yeah, you don't think its fever.

>>>yeah. You might be pregnant.

Damn! This girl eh.

>>>I'm not babe. I'm single remember? I don't even have a boyfriend, so how can I be pregnant.

>>>you don't need to have a boyfriend before you get pregnant. You can have a one night stand or..

>>MITCHEL I AIN'T PREGNANT. I JUST HAVE A FEVER!

>>>Okay okay okay. Easy girl. I was just joking. I will come check you after work, alright?"

>>>okay.

>>>take care of the unborn baby.

>>>MITCHELL!

>>>I was just joking. I need to attend to customers.

My phone suddenly rang.

I looked at the caller ID.

Unknown.

But different from the one that called me last night.

I picked it up.

Good morning my love! Did you even sleep?

My hands started trembling.

I could feel him smirking on the phone.

"About what we discuss last night...."

"What about it?" I asked trying to hide the fear in my voice.

"Baby let me help you making a decision fast!", he said calmly.

"Your mother... she is in front of me...", he said in a warning tone.

"What!! What about my mother? Don't do anything to her pleaseeee!", I tried to shout.

"But I want to! How about sending her body to...", he laughed while saying this.

"Take me.. T...Take me! N...Not her! Please! Not my mom! P..Please", I weakly said.

"Good decision love", he cut the call

I started panicking!

I have to see my mom.

I reached out for my jacket briskly walking out of the door.

But just as I opened the main door, I saw something...
