*****Run. I have to RUN.. I can't stop......
they will kill me once they Find me ......How much more ..the castle felt like a maze field!
"I need to hide in a room...in a balcony.. jump from the window.. do something. I need to survive .. I need to find him " I thought
" You can't run away from me your highness" his echo rang from everywhere.
My heartbeat was racing and I am sure the hunter heard it. After a moment I felt someone grab my hand and pulled me closer to their body. I was going to scream for my life but he covered my mouth with his hand.
"Where are you? You can't hide from me. I will find you this time and no one is there to save you" I heard the hunter from outside. Shiver ran through me as I felt the hunter coming towards us.
"shhhhh" he whispered in my ears. I know this voice . I looked at him but saw nothing but darkness. It's like he is a Shadow
The moonlight fell on his eyes and I could see for the first time. His eyes. Grey eyes.. filled with gloom. *****
________________________________________________________________________________
I opened my eyes and I am in my bed. The Fucking Alarm. I could have seen his face. I saw the dream again. But this is the first time I saw someone saving me instead of slaughtering me. It's already been 2 weeks since I shifted to this apartment. And trust me it wasn't easy. Moving is more tiring than it presents itself to be. I heard the morning alarm and groaned in annoyance. I pressed the stop button and thought to close my eyes for 2 minutes.
I shot my eyes open and looked at the clock. 8:30 AM. Fuckkkk!!! I have to be present at work at sharp 9 AM. Today being the first day at work I was anxious the whole night and couldn't sleep so I watched the whole series of Reply 1988. And Now I am Late. Great!
Thank god I took shower at night before going to bed. I Brushed my teeth and while brushing started the espresso machine. Then I ran and wore my white blouse and Black pants and wore my blazer. It's 8:44 already. I packed the necessary stuff in my bag, poured the coffee in the tumblr, took my heels in one hand and tumblr in the other and came out of the apartment. I will wear my heel once I reach the Law Firm.
I locked my door and reached the elevator and saw a tall muscular man standing. He heard my footsteps and looked back and yes it's my neighbor. He was wearing a grey T shirt and black jeans with Air Force. He is actually Hot!
And yes I am sure he is the one who lives next to me because for the last 2 weeks I saw him getting out of the house at night and coming back in the early morning. How do I know this? As a night owl I am too active at night. So all the grocery shopping as well as throwing trash I do them at night. And most of the time I go to the terrace with a cup of coffee to see the sunrise or go to the beach for a walk. I am pretty sure he works a night shift somewhere.
"Hey, I am The. I moved to the apartment next to yours recently" I blurted out and instantly regretted it.
He looked back at me and gave me a look like I just said hey !! I cheated on him with his ex. I mean my Ex. He then took his shades out of his pocket and wore them. Weird but okay!! I rolled my eyes after seeing such an unnecessary attitude.
The elevator arrived after a minute and he entered first. After I entered and turned around to face the door I almost shrieked seeing myself. Trust me if you look this mess in front of a HOT guy or any guy or anyone you would want to slap yourself. I am pretty sure he wore the shades so he didn't have to look at me.
I kept the tumblr in my big hand bag which I will keep in my car. I then took my hairbrush out of my bag and started combing my hair. The elevator is slow as fuck I swear. It will take 2 minutes to go down and it's more than enough for me to get ready.
I took my red lipstick and applied them. I don't care what he thinks anymore. He already saw me at my worst and I no longer have any chance with him anyway. I took off the sandal and wore my heels. Then I applied my mascara. Yes I already took all this stuff while getting out cause your girl is very late. Finally I look presentable and Human.
The elevator finally came to the ground. I ran to my black sedan and opened it. Keeping my bag in the passenger seat, I looked at the watch. 8:50.
"Okay, Breath" I whispered to myself. I started my car and then I saw a Jeep wrangler screeched. The neighbor is in the driver seat. It went so fast I thought he would crash or something.
"Jesus Christ. Is He drunk?" I wondered and started driving. Well I reached the Jayson criminal law firm at 9:07 AM. Honestly I could have gone at 9 but the parking lot is full. Took me 5 minutes to find an empty space. It's a 40th floor building and the top 3 floors are the legal firm. I went to the 38th floor and went to the reception.
A blond woman with curvy figure and dark blue eyes was standing behind. I saw the name and saw Brittney.
"Hello! I have an appointment with Mr. David Costa. " I informed her.
"yes mam and may I know what's your business with him?" She asks me in a questioning tone!
"MM. Today is my 1st day as a paralegal in this company" I point out. She looked at me and gave me a glare. I have no idea what and what does that mean?
"Mam, What is your name?" she muttered.
"Anthea Flores"
"yes mam at 9 AM. She then looked at her watch and then looked at me." The scowl on her face didn't go Unnoticed.
"I was lost on the way" I lied giving a fake apologetic smile.
She called in the intercom and stated "Sir Ms. Flores is here". She then looked at me and signaled me to go Inside.
____________________________________________________________________________
"Mr. David Costa. Pleasure meeting you" I stated. One of the best criminal lawyers in Toronto.
" I already reviewed your resume 10 minute earlier when you were running late" Fuckkkk. Why in the world is everyone so punctual AF today! What about the time when they took my interview 30 mins later due to their personal emergency.
" CGPA 3.97. Excellent ! ! have participated in Jessup and ICRC competitions. But these are all civil competitions. Did you participate in any competition related to criminal law? " He said as he turned the pages of my resume.
"In the mock trial I practiced. And I have bachelors in criminology and criminal justice. I also participated in the International criminal court moot court competition." I exclaimed with pride.
"Impressive Resume. So are you planning to do LLM?" he asked in an amusing tone.
"Yes sir. I am taking a one year break from studies and will focus on my work. And after I pass my Bar Exam next year I will apply for Masters," I am too broke now. I thought of course. I need to save a lot of money to study .
"I see you have already planned ahead. Ms. Flores, where do you see yourself in 5 years?" he said. A typical Question.
he was glaring his black eye through my soul! surviving and still struggling!! I thought.
"Sir, I see myself working in the International Criminal Court in Hague."
