* alarm ringing *
" It's morning .. " i yawned out loud , i saw by my side to wake Joe up but he wasn't there , " where's he .. Joeeee .. did h- "
Suddenly a delicious smell off freshly made pancakes filled in the air , and i walked downstairs .. i found Joe , in the kitchen making pancakes , in yesterday's clothes and a white towel hung around his neck ,
" Heyy .. " i whispered in his ears ,
" Oh hey .. you are awake .. good morning beautiful "
" Good morning Mr.Chef , what's for breakfast ? "
" Pancakes and black coffee ! "
He said proudly while serving the plates .
" It looks delicious .. go and brush your teeth fast , aren't you hungry " he exclaimed ," Oh yeah ... it looks yummy but i am hungry for something else "
He looked at me , with a question mark on his face .
I came closer to him , i took a step forward , he took a step backward , it continued until he was at the kitchen counter and couldn't move backward , he stood still with his pupils shaking , i towered him , he bent on the counter , i kept my hands on the counter on both the sides with him in middle of them .
I could feel the thumping of his heart on his chest as if it will come out , his muscles were tensed , he was sweating nervously .
I leaned closer to him , our lips were at a distance of an inch , i could feel his warm breath ,
I whispered ," You .. look .. so .. delicious " there was full of lust in my voice , i looked in his eyes and bit my lower lip , " i .. am .. hungry .. for .. you " i said as i took the towel from his neck , and walked away .
He stood there , maybe still processing the events , i walked upstairs ," Relax !! What you thought , i am gonna kiss you or what ? " I cracked up , " you little dummy head "
" Please never ever do that again !! "
" Huh .. or what ? Couldn't handle a little hormonal rush ? "
" No .. maybe i won't be able to control me from kissing you next time ... " He murmured to himself .
We had our breakfast and we left for our office .
* Crew meeting *
" Good morning y'all "
" Good morning Ma'am "
" So , let's get straight to point .. "
I sighed before breaking the ice ,
" We gonna bring Mr. Jonathan Reynolds down .. what i mean by bringing him down is , firstly i'll end the contract with him - "" But Ma'am he is the biggest manufacturer in the city , "
" I know right , people know he is popular and he is like the biggest but they don't know what means he has used to be the ' biggest ' ? "
" So where was i ? Yeah , about the manufacturer thing , we'll end the contract with him today , he will be null and as soon as possible i'll contact another manufacturer maybe today only I'll get in contact "" Do you have any eyes on someone ? " Joe asked .
" Well yeah i have , i did some search and i found this " i adjusted the projector , and everybody focused on the screen , " Mr. Lincoln Stewart "
" He is quite popular ... "
" Yes , maybe .. but he seems good , he worked for few famous names , i guess he won't be that bad " I glanced at the screen once , and i saw the handsome man on it , Mr. Lincoln Stewart , aren't you so manly ? Aishhh , Focus Chels ,
" hmm so , Joe and I will contact the lawyers , and i am sure he will play dirty once he comes to know about it and so we will "" What you actually gonna do ? "
" See , many of us knows that there some illegal stuff which goes on in the basement and well , Mr. Jonathan , himself is a drug dealer for ages and not to forget , he is a womanizer pig , there's plenty of women out there who have been abused by him , so it won't be hard to bring those victims together and I am pretty sure that they'll say the truth . "
" How you gonna contact them , do you know where they are ? " Joe asked , raising an eyebrow ,
" You know .. THE DOWNHILL " I smirked , while their faces were shocked open , they didn't expect me to play this hard on him .
" Meeting dismissed , Thank you and submit your updates by sharp 10 "I walked out of the office .
THE DOWNHILL , the darkest place in the city , only a few know about this . It used to be a club before but now , it has changed into a place where rich businessmen , come and abuse or rapes women , those women work and stay at THE DOWNHILL . I got to know about this when i was only seventeen , i found a card on Jonathan's work table , i asked my mother about this but she refused to tell , so i looked it up by myself .. I followed my father one day and i reached THE DOWNHILL , i saw women around there , bruised and broken , it was such an awful sight to be witnessed that it gives me chills till date .. when i found about this , i went to my mother and asked her again about and why did she refuse to tell me about it , she again shushed me and told me nothing except , " don't ever go down there , it's a dark place , men there are wolves " , but i still insisted her on telling why my father went down there , she didn't reply .. next day , when i came back from college , i saw ..
The dead body of my mother hanging on the fan , the soulless body hanged there
I was not in the place to do anything , everything around went black and i was numb . I saw the downhill card bottom at her feet , i ran and went to my father , we called the ambulance and the police , they took the body from there , but the most awkward thing was that the card was nowhere to be seen when the police arrived . Few days passed in a blur and i was not in the situation to do anything . It was the day of my mother's funeral when i went to my father's office , and saw him talking on the phone , and there was it , the downhill card on his table again , i gathered my courage to ask him about it ,
" Father .. "" Yes .. Chels " he noticed the card in my hand and was going to snatch it away ,
" What is it , father ? " i shouted .
He came closer , pulled my hand back and pinned me to the wall , he whispered ,
" Your mother also wanted to know about it .... Now she's dead " a devilish grin spread on his face .Tears built up in my eyes and everything went numb again , my father killed my mother . Although i knew about it , i could do nothing , i was dependent on him at that time , and i was a coward , i didn't bring the topic back again . I left the house after that day , i stayed in a rented flat , i worked after college to pay my rents . It was a hard time and i overcame it . I built my business with my blood and sweat , i worked so hard and now i am successful , i have power and i am not that coward which i was 7 years back .
It's time for me to take my revenge , its time to bring him down and i am READY for it .
