"Someone doesn't look so good" Joan was right beside me accompanying me to small café opposite the bank for an evening snack. Today had been way busier than Monday's probably because it was during a holiday. Easter holiday.

"No it's nothing serious" I replied trying to take my mind away from the fire back at home. So, after looking up the pictures on my laptop, I noticed that only our place had the most damages, no, not most damages since the whole building burnt down increasing my suspicion that it had been no accident. The house gave off all the evidence.

"It looks serious" she would keep pressing on and I knew that.

"Our place at home ,caught fire yesterday and I have this assurance that it wasn't an accident" I told her while scanning the menu.

"Oh God sorry, what did the cops say?" I hadn't asked back home about the investigations but I will.

"Don't know but I will"

After my long day I walked down the street heading home I had taken a detour to go to the mall so I was sure as hell I would be late to go home and this creepy street was scaring me already plus the cold weather.

I was on the street alone with very few people roaming around some who I guessed were gangsters from the looks they gave. Hearing some noise from the alley right across from me.
Panic rose in me , maybe it was the night cats and dogs.

I assumed.

Walking faster ,I clutched my bag tightly but stopped when I heard a scream, a girls scream. Now, my thoughts scattered.

Maybe she was being raped or something worse beaten up.

I couldn't leave her like that or not sure what was happening. I crossed the street hesitantly and tip toed to the  right at the corner of the alley. Looking closely ,it was a girl on the floor while some man ripped her shirt but she just whimpered.

Which made me wonder if she was enjoying that or there was truly something wrong happening.

"You want this baby?" the taller guy beside her asked while she just moaned her response. So yeah, she wanted that and I wouldn't interrupt unless I wanted trouble for myself too.

Turning to walk away i hurriedly ran to my apartment and locked all the doors. Glad that was over. Stripping off my tight dress I walk to the bathroom while my food warmed in the microwave. The best part of my day is always the going to bed part.

Sleep, my best friend.

Scientific studies show that people sense when they're being watched. That was the exact feeling I felt right now and I was right, I woke up feeling some cold sharp metal on my neck. My breath hitched and I was ready to scream when I felt a rough hand pressed on my mouth.

I couldn't scream.

My eyes wide from shock, I stared at the masked man in front me. It was rare to meet a man with hazel eyes but his were. Staring down at me with those beautiful eyes, I couldn't look away even if I wanted to.

" Now be a good girl and don't scream when I let you go, ok?" talk about sexy, his voice made me shiver all the way to my core.

Focus Alexa.

When his hand loosened on my mouth, I screamed but it didn't take long enough before the knife was pressed harder on my neck and the hand was back again.

" I can see that you don't litsen" he added while his eyes kept staring back at me.

"What do you want?" I asked through my muffled voice but he seemed to get the idea of my question.

"I need you princess" his eyes gleamed in amusement. I glared hard at him but he wouldn't budge though the princess got my blood pulsing.

"What for?" not taking away the knife , he withdrew his hand.

"I need cash princess and you'll provide it" I hadn't even received my first paycheck but this psycho was already making demands as if he knew me in any way.

"I don't have any money" I stated as-a-matter-of-factly.

"That I know, but you have access to the money" he couldn't meaning what I thought he was. My brows rose in protest ready to yell at him but he silenced me  with his forefinger on my lips. Looking down at them, "Don't you dare refuse or I'll get angry" his gaze still trained on my lips.

So what if he got angry.

I felt myself tremble from his soft touch on my lips.
"What if I don't want to?" I said shakily trying to avoid to show his effect on me.

"I'll make you" I shivered. What is that supposed to mean? And why the fuck was I aroused by his whisper close to my ears.
