His saviour

"Hey pretty girl, come back to daddy so we can have fun " i heard his taunting voice as i ran away from the common bar. I'm not quite sure how I got here but as long as I am far away from that guy who tried to molest me I'm good.

When did guys get so disgusting with their behaviours towards women.

I checked my phone for the time and it was already one in the morning I can't believe Jess left me just so she could have a simple fuck tonight.

Walking my way down the street I needed to find some signal so I could order myself an Uber I swear living in the city You'd expect to have signal everywhere but in reality you get shit.

I quickly looked around and I saw building looked fucking scary but there is a small light on and I thought I could find safety in her hopefully I don't get molested again

I quickly took off my heels and creeped into this weird building it had like a weird sign at the front and the building look like fucking hospital scary one at that.

As I slowly walked inside the building I could see clearly what it was it was , a boxing ring an old one as well the building look like it was going to collapse on itself.

Taking a deep breath I grab myself a chair and sit on it so I could find myself an UBER, my phone still had about 50 percent battery thank God.

When I successfully ordered myself an Uber to pick me up which was outside. I relaxed , he probably take about five minutes to get here so I'm sure I can just sit here for while.

That's what I thought until I heard what sounded like very heavy breathing. The sound scared the crap out of me.

What the actually fuck.

I thought of just running off and being the good girl I am.

But instead I became very curious. I spooked down the room and followed the light.

There was a single light on at the end of the room

And when I took a better look I gasped.

"Shit" I muttered panicking like a mad woman.

That made me literally fall off my chair and when I fell still looking at that spot of light I only just realised the figure sitting on a Single chair facing me.

Holy fuck

That's not scary at all. I swear I need to stop watching paranormal shows this is like my worst nightmare.

Like the creep I am I slowly moved off the floor and walked carefully over to the side of the room.

He wasn't dead at least. I could see his chest moving slightly. Yea he was kind of shirtless and that made me clearly see the red slashes across his body.

Was he beaten up? Did he fight here with someone. Pretty coincidental place to do it.

When I reached him I poked his cheek before stepping back waiting for a reaction.

Maybe he will lift his head and start laughing like a crazy man and then he will kill me.

...

Did I seriously just think that.

Figuring he won't do me any harm I removed the tape from his lips and untied his ties from his arms.

And on the exact moment that his eyes snapped open I screamed bloody murder stepping back.

Did he have to do it like that.

Mustering the courage I stepped forward and untied the rope around his legs. From the door this probably would have looked very erotic.

I lifted my head when I felt his eyes on me.

"Am i in heaven" his deep voice says as I pull him up off the chair.

When I actually looked at him and saw the height he had over me I nearly gasped.

God he was fucking beautiful, what the hell happened he must have fucked some guys girl.

My hormones were in overdrive even though he looked completely fucked up.

"You wish " I mumbled as I pushed him into the Uber. Earning a deep chuckle from him.

The guy who picked us up had a first aid kit in his car so I started to work on this guys cuts.

" where should we drop you?" The driver said looking at the guy. I continued on his cuts as I waited for his response.

" her place" he said like that was the most obvious answer.

Uh what

" I've got to lay low for a while " he explained to me his eyes watching my reaction.

" why, did you do something ?" There I go being Curious again.

" no but the men that did that to me will be pissed when they come back and I'm gone" he shrugs his shoulders but suddenly winces obviously from the pain.

Yeah he had bruises all over his back as well.

"I'll only need one night " easier said than done. I can't just take in some stranger into my apartment.

" one night?" I asked him when we had stopped at a light.

From the look he was gov my me I didn't think he thought it would be that easy.

Neither did I.

" I need to figure out my next steps then I'll be out of your hair" is it just me or is this sounding really dodgy.

" what does ?" I begin to say but he quickly stops me from talking.

"Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to, sweetheart" he says slowly removing his hand from my mouth.

Did he just... I barely had time to think because we had arrived at my street.

We thanked the driver before stepping out. I had to practically drag him inside making Sure not to physically hurt him.

" you can sleep here, there's a bathroom over there" I told his pointing to the ensuite to this room.

"Thank you " he says attempt my a smile even with his busted lip.

"No probs" I said quickly leaving the room quickly.

I heard his low chuckle before he started to make random sounds.

I can't believe I'm letting him stay here.

The following morning, I woke up early just like I always do. I didn't have to be at work until 7 since I work at one of the clubs down town. But I still had many things to do.

Just like what the hell am I supposed to do about the guy sleeping in the other room. It doesn't bother me that much but I just hope Hes not some sketchy guy who's going to kill me in my sleep or steal my stuff. I have movies to blame for that.

I decided on making some breakfast, I always start with a healthy smoothie and then normally make some kind of meal whether its English breakfast, pancakes and even fruit. The odd occasion my mom will come over and bring some delicious goodies.

Since I am half Filipino I have naturally come to like the idea of having pandesal or puto in the morning. My dad is the one who always promotes healthy eating and fitness I mean you would if you were a fitness instructor. But my mom she likes to eat and live comfortably.

Both of them decided to go travelling, they started this when I left home to live on my own. I don't hate them for it I actually want them to do that since they had me quite early on and basically cut their life off just to bring me up.

I decided to make some cooked breakfast and made double since I thought he would be hungry. Thinking about it now I don't even know his name or anything about him for that matter.

Opening my fridge, I pulled out some eggs, bacon, hash browns and some Filipino sausage I had from my mums last visit.

I started to cook everything and let the news play in the background. I enjoyed listening to what was happening in the world. My best friend is a news journalist so she would hate it if I didn't keep updated.

I was busy cooking away when I automatically felt like I was being watched. I turned around and funny enough he was here in the kitchen with me. He was wearing the t-shirt and joggers I had given to him.

"you know if you're going to stay here for a few days I think we need to know each others names" I said leaning against the counter. He stepped further into the kitchen a faint smile taking over his face.

"you're right I'm Zachary but just call me Zach" he says he actually brought his hand out to shake mine. I just laughed.

"alright Zach," I say shaking his hand.

"Imogen, but you can call me gen" it was refreshing to see him laugh but that was short lived when he looked behind. Oh shit.

I quickly switched the heat off and opened a window when I saw all the smoke. Great well at least it's not burnt.

I managed to plate up two plates and set them on the breakfast counter. We ate in peace barely managing simple small talk.

When he was finished I told him he could use the shower if he wanted and I would clean up. He did offer but I declined as he is the guest, how could I make him wash up.

I heard the faint sound of the water running and turned up the tv so I could actually watch the news. I also scrolled through my phone checking Instagram and twitter just like I do every morning.

Well known billionaire missing, Serena Johnson has filed a missing report for her younger brother and has sparked rumours to exactly what happened to Zachary Johnson"

My finger hovered over the screen as soon as the words registered within me. My mind was so confused, a billionaire. Why the fuck am I giving my home to a man swimming in money.

I turned out of my seat and was about to storm into the bedroom not caring if he wasn't done yet. But I was met with the man himself. He stood before me in all his glory his eyes watching me carefully.

"when were you going to tell me, you were filthy rich?" I say placing my hands on my hips. His hard gaze on me was slightly intimidating but I tried not to show any weakness.

"wasn't on my mind but you know now" he waves it off. I know I'm probably overacting I mean frankly its none of my business but He's living in my house.

"and you're missing, what happened to you last night," I say instantly worried about him I mean I did find him tied up to a chair in a dark room.

He sighed rubbing his eyes. I decided to bring him into the lounge and sit down with him.

"I know its none of my business but if you're in trouble I want to be prepared," I said much more calmly this time.

I had the act of being calm in stressful situations like these.

"I did some risky deals with the company and turns out that wasn't taken lightly, next thing I know I'm waking up with you in front of me" i purse my lips wondering of that was the complete truth but I wasn't going to push him it really wasn't my place.

"don't you have family; your sister seems to be worried," I said referring back to the news she was clearly wanting her brother back.

"don't need my family getting involved, but I am going to need your help" i gaped at him, this surprised me more than anything. What could I possibly do to help him.

"what" he randomly puts his hand over mine which stopped me from talking altogether.

"I can't be seen out in the city yet, I need my team here so I can figure out how I'm going to do this. I have people wanting me dead I'm pretty sure last night a man was on his way to beat me to the pulp" I cringe just thinking about that.

Thank god I went in there. I barely knew this man but I still had a heart and wouldn't want anyone dying on my account.

"I don't know Zach this seems to scary," I said because honestly, I didn't want to find myself in trouble. What if they come after me instead maybe they saw me helping him.

"I'm not going to force you but Imogen I really do need your help" he was pleading with me now and the fact that a fully-grown man is pleading with me to help him is probably the worst thing.

I hesitated at first but deep in my heart I knew I was going to help him.

"fine Zach just tell me what you need," I said making my decision. I think he was overly surprised with my answer but none the less he went on and told me everything he needed me to do.

I sat down with Zach as he briefed me on exactly what he wanted me to do. Zach has a team who he relies on more than anyone in his family. They are located around the city.

I feel like this is some Netflix series about a team of people coming together seeking revenge. This is what happens when you work all night at a bar and have barely any friends.

"when you get there tell them I sent you and also show them this picture." As soon as he showed me I burst out laughing. Zach was in a weird position taking a selfie with me in it. It was beyond hilarious.

Okay okay I got this. I ran into my car and started up the engine. I needed to go to the solicitors first. So, I drove there in about 15 minutes and walked in. I did get some weird looks from people since I looked pretty casual but I didn't care.

"hello I need to speak to Mr Ade Wilson," I said smiling at the man in front of me. He scanned my body quickly before frowning. Okay well that was rude as fuck.

"Do you have an appointment?" he asked rudely typing away on his computer. Seriously he's going to go down that route.

"no but I need to speak to him and if you send me away I will show you rage like you've never seen" I practically say under my breath but from the look, he gave I know he heard it.

"don't make me call security lady, what do you want with Mr Wilson?" well at least he's willing to listen.

"I have an important matter to discuss with him, regarding a friend of his" I have to be careful what I say around these people. The only person I trust in this building is Mr Wilson.

"alright, since its too early in the morning to have this much drama ill let you up but one little mistake and you're out of her understand" I only gave him a giant grin pleased with the outcome.

"you're the best sir, have a good day," I said sweetly before heading upstairs.

Looking around I found the door I needed. With two simple knocks I was let in.

The man sitting on the floor momentarily surprised me but when I saw him playing with a little puppy I was even more shocked.

"Mr Wilson," I said wondering if this was the man.

He stopped ticking the puppies belly and turned to face me. He raised his eyebrow probably wondering who the fuck I am.

"sorry to uh interrupt but I have a message from your friend, Zach "as soon as the name left my lips he shot up meanwhile scaring the life out of the small dog.

"what do you know about Zach," he said his tone hard and his face full of anger.

"I have him, uh I mean Hes with me" okay that didn't sound right.

"what I meant was that he's safe but Hes hiding in my house and informed me to bring you to him" I held out my phone and showed him the picture of us two.

I nearly laughed when he suddenly wrapped his arms around me and lifted me in the air.

"you brilliant bitch, come on let's go" okay I didn't know whether to be offended or happy this is turning to be a weird as fuck day for me.

"no no I still have to find the others," I say pressing against his chest. his eyes widened.

"right okay well I can just call them to meet us there," he said already dialling the numbers.

"wait wait we can't do that what if they know about you and track your calls we have to be very careful" I warned him. He seemed t reason with me as he placed his phone back into his pocket.

"are you his girlfriend? he never used to go with brainy ones" he says crossing his arms.

"nope just the girl that saved his ass, come along now" I was already making my way outside when he grabbed the puppy and followed me.

We made out next stop at Starbucks. I know how original. I let ade go in and find the woman we needed.

"her?" she asked as soon as she walked out. I didn't like her tone it was like she was mocking me.

"shut up and get in he saved your boy so behave" ade warned her. Oh, so maybe they're together. Can't blame him she's a beauty.

"well alright then, names Karly," she said buckling herself in. she was blunt but at least she wasn't calling me a bitch.

"he could be anywhere where should we start looking "Karly says crossing her arms and sighing.

I too looked around we were in a gym and was searching for another guy. Apparently Hes the IT wiz of the group.

"guys what are you doing here and the fuck are you?" a guy says coming up to us. He stared daggers at me and made me really uncomfortable.

"Zachary is alive and this girl saved him and now Hes at her house so we got to go" ade explains to him. He seemed to calm down but still was cautious around me.

I started the engine to my car and started the journey back to my house. hoping that Zach wasn't doing any weird things in my home I don't know like stealing. But then I realised he was filthy rich so I erased that thought from my mind.

"why did you go in there, how about you tell us what you actually know," Karly says grabbing my arm in a tight hold. I glared at her does she mind. I'm bloody driving.

"what I know is that you should get you filthy hands off of me and start trusting me. I went here because I was running from some guy trying to rape me alright so back off" my anger was getting intense now I had to calm down on the accelerator before I get a ticket.

I felt someone's hand being placed on my shoulder. Ade was giving me a kind smile.

It was silent for the rest of the ride.

Once we arrived at the house I let them inside telling them he was probably in my office. They all ran inside and I heard a lot of screaming and shouting. I decided to let them catch up and I would do some things round the house.

A few hours passed before I had to get read for work. I wore a red crop top with my black leather leggings and finally paired it with heels. I work at this fancy club in the city and I start in an hour.

I bent down to fix my shoes when I heard a knock on my door. I opened it and found Zach standing there. He looked tired but he seemed to be happier. Hopefully he's figured out a plan.

"where you going," he asks after scanning my body. I felt heated under his gaze. I actually felt naked in front of him.

"I've got work, "I said quickly he simply nodded his head walking inside and closing the door.

I felt weird, why was I acting weird now I was fine earlier.

"right well I wanted to thank you for what you did, we have a plan in place" he started to tell me about it but I didn't care anymore. Just let me get back to my normal life where I don't go around saving rich men.

"great, I hope those jerks get what they deserve. I'm going to head out just make sure you shut the door properly when you guys leave" I said turning around to grab my stuff.

"what's wrong, did they say something I know they can be harsh but they get protective sometimes" he explains to me, why does he sound worried and also why am I acting this way.

Yes, Karly did piss me off but that's not the point. Maybe my mind was drifting back to last night and the reality of what could have happened to me. I could have been raped and Zach well he could be dead.

"I'm alright, I just want to forget about this and go to work," I tell him walking past him. I reach for the door but Zach pulls on my arm.

"they told me, why didn't you say something about that guy" he suddenly says his voice low.

"it doesn't matter does it. Look I'm glad that you're okay I guess I can sleep knowing I did something good" I chucked at the end but in reality, I was finding it hard to even look at him.

Was he this handsome this morning?

"okay well we should be gone soon," he says right before leaving my room. I heard his steps going downstairs. Why did he sound sad, I thought he'd want to leave as soon as possible?

I felt his gaze on me as I climbed into my car but I didn't think too much into it. I just wanted my life to be the normal one. I was happy like that.
