Alexandra Alex Thompson stared blankly at the piece of paper in her hand her eyes blurry as the words seemed to mock her.
"Dear Alexandra Thompson.
We regret to inform you that you have not met the requirements to graduate from Chicago high school. Your grades have being consistently below average, and we cannot provide you with a diploma at this time."
Sincerely.
[Principal Jeffrey]
Alex sank deeply in despair, she had known this was coming but seeing the papers actually made it feel final. She had failed.
As she walked out of the school building, the bright building the entire world seemed invisible before her, her mind was finally empty.
She felt lost, alone, and scared.
Where would she go from here? What would she do?.
The questions tormented her as she walked out of the world she had known for four years.
As she walked home Alex felt suffocated the weight of her failures pressing deep within her mind.
Alex mind wandered back to her parents when they were extremely loving.
When suddenly they became distant, she had grown up feeling she was on her own.
As she turned into the corner of her streets, Alex eyes caught the sight of her parents car in the driveway.
She knew they would be waiting for her excitedly to discuss, or even arrange her marriage.
Alex exhaled loudly as she approached her home. She saw the stern look on there faces and knew instantly that they were aware of her failures.
" Sit down we need to talk!." Her mother stated.
"Well I don't want to." Alex responded.
"Listen here, it is time you faced the consequences of your actions."
Alex's mom said holding her arm firmly.
That was when Alex knew she could no longer live with this people, she stormed out of the brightly coloured mansion and into the streets.
"Alex!!." Her mother yelled.
"Let her go, a few days on the streets will set her straight." Her father said proudly.
Alex ran as fast as she could, her feet hitting hard on the pavement. Not knowing where to go letting her sorrows guide the way.
Arriving at the park she met some survivors, who thought her the rules of the streets. She felt like she just met her new family again.
As much as she loved her family she knew she had to start a new life and that's when she saw him a dark haired man, he was watching her.
His cold gaze made her skin crawl.
Who was this man and why was he interested in her.
He walked towards her, his dark suit reminded Alex of her father.
"You are new here, mins if i introduce you to some people?."
Alex followed the stranger with her heart pounding so loud, she swore he could hear it.
"The name is Dominic, get in the car.". He ordered calmly.
"And why should I listen to you?." Alex asked loudly.
"Are you not Alex Thompson, the one who ran away from home and has no where to go?.". He smiled knowing his words had hit his target.
As Alex stood there speechless Dominic continued.
"I could give you everything you need, food, clothes, protection, a place to stay, all you need to do is trust and be loyal."
Alex nodded immediately and got in the car.
Dominic a don, though ruthless he mastered the art of deceiving his prey until they were caught in the net.
As they drove Alex admired the busy roads as the cars drove carelessly disobeying the safety rules.
"This place seems lawless." Alex blurted out.
She could see his lips curved into a smile through the mirror.
Finally they were here, a skyblue magnificent skyscraper Alex almost felt dizzy looking at how high it is.
Alex felt like she had being removed from the streets and into heaven.
"Welcome to your new home, this is your room, and this is Elixa my fiancee. She will be showing you the perks and cons of living with us."
Alex bounced on her bed her heart filled with life, this is what she had always dreamt of, but what could the cons of living here be. She would just have to wait till tomorrow.
In The Midnight
Alex was half asleep when she heard the sirens buzzing she jumped out of bed with her hair looking messy.
"What is going on?."
Alex said standing still watching the others hide briefcases of money beneath the couch and beds.
"The cops are here hide!." Alex hid under the bed, while she watched the cops search the house thoroughly.
A detective came out a room.
"Everything is clean sir?." The head officer nodded and left with the others.
Alex came out of the bed panting. Elixa looked at her with disgust.
"What do you see in her anyway, she's just ordinary." Elixa walked away. Dominic winked at Alex and joined Elixa in the dining hall.
Alex sat on her new bed, would she be happy here as much as she was with her parents.
"We just have to try."
Training
It was her first day in the ever blue mansion and Elixa was not willing to take it easy on anyone new.
"That is your enemy, he's a cop; it's either you kill him or go to jail give it your best shot."
Alex held on to the gun fragily, she aimed but almost shot Elixa, Dominic laughed.
"Really, if you think this is funny why don't you come do it yourself."
Elixa said and stormed off angrily.
Dominic stood before the students, smiled at Alex. He went behind her, holding her hands he pointed it forward and pulled the trigger.
Alex shivered.
'I have never hurt or kill before, but I must do everything to impress him so he would be willing to keep me with his crew.' Alex spoke to herself.
Dominic was tired of his relationship with Elixa, she was just a pawn that he needed to get rid of as soon as possible, but despite his cunning wit Elixa had a secret weapon up her sleeve that even Dominic was scared to take chances with.
He needed to tame her but for that he needed to discover her own weakness. He sneaked into her room and searched through her documents.
Just when he thought everything was under control he heard the door open slowly.
As Dominic rummaged through Elixas document he found something, something that would change there lives forever.
Suddenly he heard the door open, he hid in her wardrobe waiting for her to leave.
"Someone was here, look at this my files are littered all over the place."
Elixa threw her cigarette in anger. Dominic sneezed involuntarily. Elixa places her finger on her lips warning her partner to be quiet.
As Elixa got closer to her wardrobe, her phone rang. Dominic closed his eyes tightly.
She left the room in a hurry.
Alex was lost, it was her first day here she was still getting used to the doors, what confused her the most was the fact that all doors had the same color.
Entering into the door before her, Dominic covered her mouth from behind.
"I have uncovered your dirty secrets."
Alex stepped on his foot. Dominic jumped in pain.
He pulled her towards him holding her arm firmly.
"Why did you cheat on me Elixa!."
'he thinks I'm Elixa.' Alex struggled.
"You always that I don't spend enough time with you. So tonight you will be mine."
Dominic squeezed her boobs continually.
"You feel different today, much softer."
He tied her mouth and carried her to his bed hurriedly unzipping.
He turned her to the side, her butt now facing him.
Alex rolled her eyes, a mixture of pain and pleasure surging through her body. As soon as he turned on the lights he saw Alex sleeping soundly on his bed, her mouth tied.
"That's why she felt different."
He walked towards her carressed her. "You are mine now."
Alex realized she had already given up on herself, she needed to discover who she was and who she wanted to become.
'If Elixa could cheat on me, then why can't I cheat on her; it's not like we love each other anyway, right I should tell her the truth and see how she reacts.'
Inside Dominics mansion there were lots of goons who did his bidding. As Alex struggled to set her aaaaaaaaaaaasself free from the ropes Elixa came in and saw her naked.
She walked past Alex and stole Dominics check, Elixa took a photo of Alex and went out of the room.
Dominic went into Elixas room confidently having found the document with which the often blackmailed him.
"You must be feeling proud of yourself my dear 'husband'. Elixa said air quoting with her fingers.
"But I have something much more sinister up on my sleeve." She showed him the picture of Alex naked and confused.
Dominic placed his hand over his mouth.
Elixa smiled triumphantly.
"Yes that is the look I wanted to see, just imagine how your workers would feel if they saw this picture, a pervert."
Dominic laughed, he laughed so hard he almost fell...
"So she's naked, so what, as long as I am not physically in that photo you have no right to blackmail me, on the other hand I do."
Dominic said waving the document in the air.
"If you don't willingly tell your father to call off this alignment I will take this papers to him, and show the world through the world that his daughter is a thief.
I wonder what that'll do to his reputation."
The door opened, and a goon entered.
"Don't worry I am not interested in your body, the boss sent me to help you get dressed."
The goon picked her up from the bed and tried to ignore her firm nipples which seemed to stare at him
Alex noticed something strong on her legs. Was she that beautiful?.
He dressed her up and laid her on Dominics bed, you are to stay here until he comes.
Alex remembered the contract she signed with Dominic. She now understood the meaning of you will be mine, she cried intensely.
In high school she used to be so responsible but here she was training to be a gangster and being used by a selfish man at his will.
And all for what.
"If you hate me so much why don't you tell me father about it yourself, or are you a coward.". Elixa spat at Dominic aggressively.
As Dominic turned to leave he heard Elixa calling him seductively.
"Do you think you can forget all about me."
Her hands traced his groin.
She kissed him, and he kissed her back, holding her waist and pulling her to himself.
Dominic was a man full of lust, he could not resist a woman any woman.
After sex with Elixa he regretted his actions, he needed to have more self control. If not he was never going to be free from her.
Alex sat on the bed still tied up, she felt rage fill her soul, she knew she was not worth much but this was the most demeaning act a man would succumb to.
She needed revenge and she will have it.
Pleasing The Masters Client
After being taught how to use a gun properly, Dominic took her with him to a meeting.
They had forced her to wear seductive clothes revealing the most delicate parts of her body.
The driver could hardly focus without looking back to admire her.
"Don't you think you owe me an apology?."
Alex said to Dominic with fiery eyes.
"How dare you look at me in the eyes when you talk, don't you have any regard for your master."
Dominic said angrily, Alex gasped and kept quiet.
'Was this the same man who played angel when she begged on the streets. He now shows her his true nature.' Alex sobbed in her heart.
Dominic kept thinking of the night he spent with her, although he mistook her for Elixa, the next night will not be a mistake.
He does not own her an apology she fully belongs to him in every way.
They finally arrived at the house of the client.
Alex got down from the car, her shorts and sleeveless shirt attracting the eyes of the guards.
'This deal is mine.' Dominic smiled triumphantly.
Elixa was happy to be home her father's house was quite luxurious, she almost felt like she should not get married.
She loved her freedom, being in control.
Which is why she must marry a man who would dance to her tunes. She would be the head while the husband will just be a pawn in her palm.
"Hello dear." Her father welcomed her.
"Why did you not inform me, I would have hired a musical band to welcome you and sprayed you flowers like a princess."
Elixa smiled.
"Oh daddy, I came with important news."
Her father sat eagerly waiting.
"I have decided that I and Dominic get married in a weeks time." Elixas father gasped.
His daughter had always being obsessed with Dominic, even when he saw him as a rich loser.
He wanted a good man for his daughter not some drug dealing scum.
"Of course my dear anything that makes you happy, and if he refuses then you can come to me and I will make sure he listens."
'sometimes I feel that my daughter inherited these qualities of obsession from her mother.
Her mother was quite obsessed with me, though she made me rich I ended up killing her.
I hope for her sake that will not be her fate.'
Elixas father thought.
Elixa hugged her father and then she went to visit her best friend Cherry. It was five years ago, Elixa met a young man in a bar.
He was extremely handsome and caught her attention, she instantly wanted him to be hers.
Taking him to her father, he endowed the young man with so much wealth.
But now that young man was losing interest in her, but she would not let him. After all she made him who he was.
"Elixa!!!." Cherry screamed excitedly.
They had always being childhood besties, Cherry being the good girl.
"You live in this dump?." Elixa commented, Cherry's house was so tiny she could barely breathe.
"Never mind that, tell me what's being going on." Elixa shared her dilemma with Dominic.
"He only wants sex, besides that I am nothing to him."
Cherry's eyes became dull.
"If he does not love you, why don't you let go of him?." Cherry wondered.
"You know when I hear things like that I wonder why we're friends."
Elixa walked away.
Cherry sighed.
Elixa needed a plan, she could not think of anything and Cherry was of no help.
She needed to blackmail him, put him in a position where he can not reject there marriage.
Cherry's phone rang.
"Come quickly, I will text you were we would meet."
Cherry sprang to her feet and headed to the bus station.
She went to the address sent to her.
"I came here as fast as I could."
Elixa shared her plan with Cherry, she knew that Dominic could not resist women and Cherry was perfect.
Cherry was hesitant. "Look, I love you but I have a boyfriend, and this plan of yours goes wrong it might hurt my relationship.
You should not be so selfish girl."
Cherry ducked as Elixa threw a girls aimed at her forehead.
"You know what, if you are not willing to help me then we should not be friends!."
And with that she stormed off. Throwing off her disturbing heels in anger. Cherry watched her leave but she sat lost in thoughts.
Who should she put first?.
Pleasing The Masters Client.
Alex still trying to be comfortable in her shorts while waiting for the client.
She was told to stand while the others sitted.
Suddenly she felt a strong hand on her back side making her jolt. It took all the strength in the world for Alex to hold all her anger in as the unknown man squeezed her hard.
"Is this the girl?." The man asked, Dominic nodded.
The man licked his lips
"Sure thing, why don't you go in and wait for us dear." He said to Alex, and a guard showed her the way.
Living the two men alone.
"How much is that girl worth." The old man asked.
"Ten Million."
The old man laughed as he heard the sum escape Dominics mouth.
"Why don't I make it Fifteen then, you insult me." The man said with a smile.
Dominic smiled as he watched the old man sign the check.
This girl must be kept by his side.
"I will come pick her up tomorrow." Dominic said.
The old man admired Dominics suit and his features. The way he walked out with so much confidence and pride.
In the bedroom Alex was getting herself ready, she had being taught what to do.
The old man came in undressing as he walked towards her.
The way he held her aggressively, stripping her naked made Alex forget what she had being taught for a minute.
She pushed him and hit his head with the gun in her shorts.
He fell.
Running away she ignored the discomfort as her boobs were visible thanks to that man.
Following the back door she saw Dominics car waiting for her, she jumped out of the window.
The glass pieces cutting her in several places.
Dominic ran towards her and caught her with his hands.
He got in his car and the driver sped off.
Dominic covered her body with his suit, for the first time he saw a woman's body rather being lustful her felt compassionate.
"Take us to the city hospital." The driver nodded.
"No wait I will call the doctor."
Dominic said.
Alex stared into Dominics eyes, she could see clearly that he was worried and concerned.
She smiled and closed her eyes.
Dominics Villa
Dominic carried her upstairs in his arms, the other workers looked in awe.
Taking Alex to her room he placed her carefully on the bed.
"Why did you jump through a window. I will have to spend the entire fifteen million on your surgery now."
Alex pouted her lips, she risked her life to do his work besides it was her time.
"It's alright stop cursing me I can see the words written on your eyes.
You will have to lay low for a while, that old man is extremely dangerous."
Elixa got a phone call from one of her goons. She brushed it off.
Perhaps he was just being compassionate because of her wounds.
No woman was that beautiful to steal his heart.
Or was she wrong?.
