Chapter 2 The Threat

Annabella started walking hopelessly, she's been looking for a job but couldn't find any.She caught a glance of a restaurant, that restaurant was where she got fired last night.

TWO DAYS AGO....

Annabella was dressed in a short skimpy black gown that only covered her butt. She felt so uncomfortable in it but she's left with no choice.

She was taking a customer's order, the guy was feasting his eyes on her chest,her cleavage could be seen,Looking sexy as always.

She appeared irresistibly séxy. Who wouldn't gaze at her?NO ONE!!

"Two bottles of wine"He said and she nodded. His eyes on her front view,exciting him.

Just as she turned, the guy spanked her @ss,he was expecting her to turn her ass to him anyways.

Annabella gasped, she hates someone touching her inappropriately,She faced him back and landed a slap on his face. Unable to control her anger,she spilled the glass of water on the table on his ugly face.

"Hey!"The guy growled,wiping his face.

Annabella glared at him and the manager rushed to his rescue at once without looking out for her,she expected it anyways,the manager once asked her to be his girlfriend the firts day she got employed which she refused.

"This snitch slapped me, how dare she do that!"He yelled cunningly and she glared more.

"He touched my butt,i didn't slap him for no reason "Annabella defended herself.

"So what if he touched your butt,what's so special about it!"The manager threw words at her and she gasped.

"I....

"Shut it!"He yelled.

The customers attention drawn to the table especially on Annabella.

"Liar,you cheap thing!"He yelled.

"You're the liar here"She retorted and the manager grabbed her hand.

The manager looked at Annabella who shook her head trying to explain herself.

"Security!"The manager alarmed the security who came running to the spot.

"Sir believe me..i didn't do anything "She said in tears,it's her only job how will her mother survive.

"Am sorry sir, please sit"The manager apologized to him. And he grinned still wiping his face with tissue.

"You did this the last time, I let it go so not anymore!"

"Sir please forgive me..." She pleaded but fell on deaf ears.

Annabella sighed out,she lost her job again,her salary is gone too.

BACK TO PRESENT...

Tears cascaded down her cheeks, crying on the road side, it's getting late but not her concern at the moment. As she stood up,a car splashed water on her face driving off roughly.

Annabella staggered, she came back to her senses then but the car was gone already. She wasn't in a right state of mind to react else she would've reacted.

Her phone rang in her pocket, she answered it quickly. It's the doctor calling,he seems nice but couldn't get to help her raise the bills.

"Miss Annabella, please make the payment within twenty four hours else your mother will be discharged and we won't operate on her again"The doctor said and hanged up immediately.

Annabella checked her wristwatch, it's almost 9pm, she needs to do this,her mom needs her.

Seems she has no choice but to give in,if loosing her virginity can help her mom then so be it.

She started running back to Sandra's place. Ready to do anything to save her sick mother, she's been the best mother to her and this time she needed her she can't just back off and ignore her.

"Mom,i won't let you die,never"she wiped her tears.

----

The room was shrouded in darkness, the only sounds the loud, crazy moans and the slapping of laps.

"Gosh"

"More baby, more please"

His d**k inside her filling all of her every inch of her.She wants him so badly, a bitch afterall,her eyes rolled as he banged her madly,her loud moans filled the room.

Charlie Gilbert, a rich playboy notorious for his psychotic behavior, was relentless in his pursuit of pleasure. He didn't care about anything or anyone, living life on his own terms, no matter how wild or bad they seemed.

His only enjoyment he enjoyed was sex,it was like his daily meal,he craves for it everyday,his bodyguard arrange his meal for him and brings them over to his father's mansion.

Hotel isn't his thing at all,he hates it,and would choose tarnishing his father's name over doing his bad behaviours in secret.

He slammed into her one last time before pulling out and opening his drawer to throw her fees at her.

"Don't forget to beep me next time"She kissed his lips before leaving the room.

Minutes later, the door swung open, and his mother, Mina, walked in. The room neat but the smell of sex lingered in the air.

"Privacy, woman!" Charlie snapped, puffing on a weed, his habitual post-sex ritual.

Mina's eyes widened in disgust. "The heck! Is this a brothel or what?!" she yelled,fuming with anger.

Charlie stared blankly, puffing out smokes, his expression remorseless. He hated his parents, especially his mother, whose mere presence irritated him.

Mina attempted to snatch the weed, but Charlie puffed out smokes in her face. She coughed, choking.

"Touch it and get burnt!" he warned.

"When will you start behaving responsible Charlie "She snapped,her voice mixed with pain and sorrows.

"The day you fucking learn how to mind your business woman!"He retorted,his gaze dark and to scary to meet.

"Charlie!"She yelled and coughed.

"Rather hang yourself,you don't deserve easy death"He smirked before thrashing it and a smirk appeared on his lips,short and devilish.

Mina stomped her feet and left the room. She couldn't deal with it anymore,he knows she hates smokes,he did it intentionally.

Charlie smirked, relieved to see her go.His phone beeped, but he ignored it, lost in his own world of darkness and desire.

As the door closed behind Mina, Charlie's smirk grew wider. He took another long drag on his weed, feeling the familiar rush of adrenaline and satisfaction.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the ceiling as he savored the moment.

But his tranquility was short-lived. His phone beeped again, insistently. Charlie's gaze snapped to the screen, his eyes narrowing as he read the message.

It was from an unknown number, but the words sent a spark of curiosity through him.

"Meet me at the old warehouse at midnight. Come alone."

Charlie's mind began to spin with possibilities. What do they want now?

He snubbed out his weed and rose from his chair, his movements fluid and deliberate. The darkness in the room seemed to swirl around him, drawn to his presence like a magnet.

As he walked out of the room, the shadows seemed to follow him, whispering secrets in his ear. Charlie's smile grew wider, his heart pounding with anticipation.

He knew that he was being drawn into something sinister, something that would push him to his limits.

But Charlie Gilbert was not one to back down from a challenge.He was ready to embrace the darkness, to let it consume him whole.In the shadows,Charlie found his true home.

Meanwhile,Mina sat in her room in pool of tears,holding Charlie's childhood frame with her. She agreed of being guilty for Charlie's reason for hating her.

It hurts to see him in a bad state and anytime she tries to guide him,he behaves worse.

Gilbert walked out of the bathroom to see his wife crying,he wasn't moved at all.

"I told you to stop worrying about him,he's going to be fine!"

"You're only tolerating him for your own selfish reasons"Mina retorted.

Yes,Gilbert tolerated his son because of his political career,he wants his son to be feared and powerful in the city.

And it started the day a woman threw shades at Charlie for sleeping with her daughter which later turned out to be a lie. Since then,the woman was nowhere to be found,Charlie cleared her.

"You're proud of his disgusting acts,you're satisfied he hates us,you want your son to be powerful in this city"Mina said,tears dropping at every word.

"Mina,be strong,he won't hate us forever"Gilbert held her shoulder and she yanked away from his cold touch.

"Shame on you"Mina glared before leaving the bedroom.

Gilbert scoffed,who cares,as long as Charlie is his son,he would keep supporting him,even if he hates him,to him the hatred he has for him makes Charlie stronger.

His phone beeped and the notification popped up on the screen,a message.

"Your son will be the next in line,I'll make him my toy"He read the message inwardly,his brows knotted.

Who sent him this message?before he could trace it the message and number were deleted.

He didn't hesitate to call his assistant,firstly to tighten the security around Charlie and to find out who's seeing him.

"Hope Mina's words.....No this is just a threat"He shrugged the thought.
