Chapter 3 THE ACCIDENT

ANDREA PETER'S POV

I woke up very early, thinking of the lady I had brought home last night. She was very beautiful and had long black hair, glowing skin, and red kissable lips.

She looked so pure and innocent. I had almost kissed her last night, but I held myself back.

Gosh! I have never felt this way for any lady.

"I could have devoured her last night, and that's just insane!" I muttered to myself.

I don't fancy ladies anymore. After what happened with my first love Cari, I just couldn't look at any lady in a good way.

I don't understand why I should be having these thoughts about a lady. I don't even know her name!

I can't let my guard down.

'I'm going to fight this!' I thought, getting up and heading to the guest room where she was.

As I got closer, I thought about what she could be up to.

"Wait, what if she tries to escape?" I thought and ran as fast as I could to the room I left her.

The door was locked! I couldn't believe it.

Had she done something terrible to herself?

I kept knocking continuously, waiting for a response, but I got none.

Then I remembered I had the spare keys in my room. I stopped knocking and ran back to my room to get them.

'Where the hell is it?' I thought, scattering my drawers to find it.

I saw the keys lying on the last drawer. I grabbed it and ran back to the room I left her.

The keys were marked. I picked the right key and opened the door.

I rushed in with my keys, only to see her standing in shock. As I walked closer to her, she fell on the bed.

LOLA ERIKSON'S POV

I was still shivering in fear when the stranger got on my bed and was hovering over me.

What was going on? I tried getting up and running for safety, but he held unto me, and I wiggled myself to escape from his grasp.

"What are you doing?" I heard a familiar voice ask, and I opened my eyes. I looked up to see my abductors face. He looked so handsome, and I felt my heart racing from the extreme closeness.

He was right above me! Staring at me with such crazy eyes. He leaned in like he was about to kiss me, and I involuntarily went closer.

He suddenly stood up, and I saw the shiny object he had pointed at me. They were just keys. I stood up from the bed, embarrassed that I almost let a stranger kiss me. I couldn't understand the effect this man had on me.

"Get down to the sitting room," He thundered and left the room.

I stumbled after him, scared for myself. As I came down the stairs, I saw a picture that shocked me.

It was a family portrait of a man, his wife, and his son. The man in the picture was very familiar to me. Kira always went on about his family.

It was Jackson Peters! The richest man in Canrany, owner of Good Ventures Group of Companies, who had just one son. I looked at the portrait closely and froze in place.

The stranger who abducted me was right there, the only son of Jackson Peters, the CEO of Good Ventures, whose name I heard was Andrea.

"Oh my God!" I screeched and held my mouth immediately. I had pissed off the wrong person.

How could I insult Andrea Peters?

I came into the sitting room and immediately knelt before him.

"Please, Sir, forgive me. I didn't know you were Andrea Peters, I was only trying to help, I would never disrespect you." I said, realising how deep of a mess I had gotten myself in and praying with my entire being that I would somehow be forgiven.

"What's your name?" He asked with a stern look.

"Lola...Lola Erikson," I stammered, and he looked at me with anger written all over his face.

"It's good that you now know how stupid it was for you to insult me. You have no right to have a conversation with me," He said, and I felt a sting of pain in my heart.

"I could buy people like you anywhere in the street, and even for free," he continued, and I almost shed a tear, but I held on and swallowed it all in.

"I brought you here to teach you a lesson, but I won't bother wasting my precious time on someone like you," he said, and it broke me.

Who does he think he is? Just because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he thinks he can go around insulting the less privileged?

"Go and pick your things. You can keep what you are wearing. I wouldn't want anything that has to do with you anywhere close to me, " he said, and I went back to the room and picked up my clothes and phone.

I came back to the sitting room, and he called his driver to drop me off.

"Don't let me see you ever again, or else I will make your life a living hell," he stated, and I left with the driver.

Such a terrible man!! A stupid jerk! Why would I ever want to see him again? I never want to have anything to do with him!

Home

"Where have you been?" Kira asked as I stepped into the house.

"I've been worried sick about you, and I was about to go to the police station to file a missing persons report." She said, looking very worried and concerned.

I fell to the ground and burst out in tears. She came closer to console me.

"What happened?" She asked, and I went on to tell her everything.

I told her about the man I encountered at the workshop, how I was abducted, and all the horrible things he said to me.

"What? Who is the imbecile that said such hurtful things to you? We are going back there, I'm going to deal with him." She said, picking up her bag.

"No... we can't go back there," I said, and she turned to me.

"Andrea Peters abducted me and said all those things to me," I said, and she stood still.

She dropped her bag on the bed and came closer to me.

"Wait.. do you mean Andrea Peters... the Andrea Peters?" She asked, and I nodded.

"Jeez... you met Andrea Peters, and he did all that to you?" She said, standing up.

"The fact that he is wealthy and literally the son of the richest man in this Country, shouldn't give him the right to insult you, I pray he has a terrible day at work, aaah... i can't even do anything to him," she said angrily, coming closer to give me a hug.

"It's okay, just forget about him, you will never see him again. Let's get ready for work," She said, dragging me up from the ground.

I plugged in my phone, took a shower and we ate the little bread we had left.

"I will get some food stuffs when I get my paycheck today, don't forget to ask for yours," She said and I nodded, feeling a little better that I was going to get paid today.

We left the house and headed to our various workplace.

I got to the workshop and went in to change into my work clothes.

I had just finished changing when Martin, my colleague, came up to me.

"Lola, the boss has been looking for you, and he seems really angry," He said, and I got confused.

'Why would Mr Tony be looking for me?' I thought and headed to his office.

Maybe he wants to pay me himself or apologise for what happened yesterday.

I went into his office, only to see a very annoying face. It was the disgusting man who disrespected me yesterday. He was sitted with my boss and they were having a conversation. They stopped talking as soon as I walked in, and Mr Tony turned to me.

"Lola, take this," he said, handing me an envelope.

I felt happy, thinking it was my paycheck, but when I opened it, I saw a termination letter.

I had been dismissed from work!

I couldn't believe it. Why would he do this to me?

"I don't understand sir, why I'm I receiving a termination letter? What have I done wrong?" I asked, boiling in anger.

"What were you expecting after disrespecting and asualting my customer?" He said, and I gasped in shock.

"I didn't do that sir, you can ask Lucas. He saw everything." I said, trying to defend myself.

"I already fired Lucas, you two conspired with each other to make me lose my customers," He said, and I felt so bad. Lucas had lost his job... because of me.

"What about my paycheck, sir?" I asked, and they burst out laughing.

"You expect to get paid? What do you think I would use to pay for the medical bills for the injuries you inflicted on him?" He said, and I couldn't believe my ears.

I didn't even do anything to him.I only slapped him when he tried molesting me. I could now clearly see that Mr Tony was trying to deny me of my pay. I needed that money for myself and my parents.

I begged and pleaded with him, but he sent me out of his office, and I didn't know what else to do. I had no one to help me. Kira had been the one helping me by paying the rent and paying for most of the feeding for the both of us all these while.

I sunk to the ground and was crying out my eyes when my phone rang.

I reached for my phone in my pocket, and the call was from an unsaved number. I picked it up, and I heard a news that broke me even more.

"I'm I unto Lola Erikson?" A voice asked.

"Yes, this is Lola Erikson," I replied tiredly.

"This is the police headquarters located at No. 55 Adison Drive. Your mum, Mrs Erikson, has been arrested on charges of theft. She stole the gold statue of her Employers family. It is worth over millions of dollars, and she has failed to provide it.

You need to come down to the station and get her legal representatives because this case is going to court." The officer said, dropping the call, and I stood up quickly.

I felt dizzy all of a sudden, and I didn't know where I was headed. I picked up my phone and ran like a mad woman, repeating the address the officer had given me continuously.

"No. 55 Adison Drive... No. 55 Adison Drive.." I kept repeating as I ran out of the workshop.

I heard shouts from people, but I didn't care to know what they were shouting about.

"Scrrreeeeeee..eecchhh." I heard a car trying to stop forcefully, and before I knew it, I was tumbling on the ground, and I slowly lost consciousness.

At the brink of losing consciousness, I realized what had just happened. I just had an accident!
