I starred at my mom, hoping for a positive answer .
"But considering the fact that you are still my daughter, I will help you"she said.
" what? Really" I was surprised.
" I will book a flight for you to Russia and change your identity with a new passport , go there and never come back".
"Why so far away" I asked.
"Jason is going to reopen the case about your father's murder and you turn out to be the number one suspect, if you stay in Russia, they will never find you and the case will be forgotten" she explained.
Was my mom really helping me, back then she volunteered to hand me over to the corps
I know if Jason opens back that case he has something up his sleeves to frame me, I will surely end up in prison probably for life .
"I know you might be wondering why I am helping you but it's just for my late husband, at least let his soul Rest In Peace" she said and began to walk away .
Then I asked her a very shocking question,
"Do you also believe I murdered him" she froze, silent for a while
"I myself don't know the answer to that question" she replied. I felt hurt , knowing fully well her answer to that question .
"Scarlett, for the mean time, leave this house and hide far away, I will notify you when your flight is ready" she said.
"Thanks mom but what about you"I asked, it's gonna be dangerous staying here with Jason".
" I will be fine, I will try to use my power as a presidential candidate to reveal Jason" that's the nicest thing she has ever thought of doing for me .
I ran towards her and hugged her, she didn't hug me back but I didn't matter, she was willing to help. I released from the hug and she left without saying goodbye, oh well, she never actually cared.
I stayed inside the store room until I was sure Jason and Alia were out of the house .Upstairs I went running like a mad dog, it's was already getting late. I packed some clothes and shoes and the little money I had at home-my bank account was now his.Ever since the case of my father's murder, I stopped going out without a car or on my own during the day time. People can't stop talking and labeling me a murderer .I tried going out once but was almost stoned to death, I don't want that to happen so I will have to wait till it's very dark.
After sitting down inside the store and waiting for dorks, it finally came and I set out for my journey.My mom has already sent me the details concerning my flight and my new identity. I quickly left the store room, looking carefully, making sure no one was watching, I rolled my suitcase outside. Looking back at my gorgeous mansion, i vowed to make Jason suffer what what he has done to me—for me and for the unborn life me made me end two years ago.
When I was sure I rolled my suitcase outside and then outside the house.
I walked along the streets, looking down in shame ,with no destination.Everyone else was going about, walking freely but I couldn't, I still had that great depth of fear in me. I could see kids holding hands with their parents and chatting nonstop about their day. Myheart ached as I looked at them . They looked very happy.
I wish I had one, I wouldn't complain no matter how much the child talks but who am I kidding, I foolish took the baby's life because of love, that foolish word, that foolish feeling. Never again will I ever fall in love, not in this life and probably not in the next.
Happiness and love, the one thing I lacked since I was a child. I taught Jason could really give them to that's why I held him tight, loving and caring for him and even went as far as aborting our little one.Gosh I was damn foolish.
My heart ache as those thoughts ran through, I wished I could just rip out the stupid organ out of my chest to ease the agony I was feeling.
My stomach grumbled, I was hungry, I saw a nearby store and decided to by something, at least food might take my mind off all this.
Checking my wristwatch,i still have one hour before my flight.I used a hanky to cover the lower part of my face, revealing only my eyes then I went into the store.I got my self a chilled can drink along with a snack and left the store after paying.
I went to a very quiet and deserted location to eat.
Who would have thought, the ceo of the top ranking companies is now sitting on a little bench , hiding and eating like a stray dog. What will I do when I get to Russia, I have no one there, will I have to beg on the streets just to survive?
Tears filled my eyes, what should I do now?
I brought out my phone to call my mom and beg for some money, I can use to start up something when I get there.I was too occupied with the thoughts of my life to barely notice some street guys approaching me
By the time I noticed they had already surrounded me, I shivered and pressed my handbag firmly on my chest.
"What's a pretty damsel like you doing here at this hour of the night" one of the said, playing with my pink long hair.
" pls don't hurt me" I pleaded.
" of course we won't but only if you comply" he looked at me lustfully.
The place I was had some tall trees around,like a little forest.In the next instant, one grabbed me across the shoulder, jerking me up.I screamed in fear, still pleading for their mercy.Together they began dragging me towards the covers of the trees, I screamed shouting for help, but no one came.
Just when I thought all hope was lost, a man emerged holding a bright torch, he started shouting for help scaring those bastards away, he moved closer to me .
"Are you okay" he said raising my head up but when he saw my face, he backed away.
" it's you, you are a killer" he moved further away, I held his hand and begged " please don't leave me out here alone, they will come back please, help me please help me"
Instead, he yanked his hand off and spat on me" you should be ashamed of yourself, why are you begging for help now, didn't you think your dear father needed help too before you mudered him" he pushed me away.
" please don't go I am begging you" but he didn't listen, he just turned his back on me and left. My heart hurt even more—everybody just hate me.
I looked around, those guys from before were already coming back, I began to run, I ran like it's my last day.I could hear their footsteps closing in on me from behind but I didn't stop, I continued and ran towards a sharp corner, bumped into something and fell.
I wasn't a thing it was a person
"Get out of my way you fool" he snapped and pushed me away, in the process of trying to regain balance I mistakenly pulled off his mask.
It was Mr Xavier Grey— I have seen him before but right now—he looked shocked or should I say angry.
"Fuck! How dare you remove my mask, are you insane" he shouted.
"Am so sorry, I just needed your help"
"Shut up!" He stood up but I held his hand , he starred at me with his cold dark black eyes sending shivers down my spine.
"Please don't leave me here" I pleaded hugging him hand.
He tried pulling away but I wouldn't burge, I held on tightly still asking for his help.He looked like he was in a hurry or should I say running from someone but I don't care. He should take me to wherever he is headed, at least I will be safe.
Just then, I began to hear dogs backing and then footsteps,some figures appeared with chained dogs, they looked like cops , oh yes they are cops .Oh thank goodness, I am saved.
He quickly dragged his mask back up, something told me I should run.One of them flashed a touch light and is then said after seeing my face.
"Miss Scarlett, you are advised to move away from that man, he is highly dangerous" wait , did he just say 'highly dangerous'?I began to shake. Before I could even make a single move, he grabbed me , took out a gun and shot the cop light out, then began to run away with me
Oh my! What is happening ?
I screamed
