Abeni's POV

I scrutinized my environment and my mind began to register where i was. I was still in the damn cell but something was out of the ordinary. I was bewildered as to why i was alone and boundless. I stood up to get the hell out but at that moment, the man who had been my captor had just killed, appeared before me. I yelped in shock and moved backwards.

"It's all your fault....I'm dead because of you." He yelled at me. How the hell was he alive? He had just been killed. His eyes were wide open but they had no life in them. "No,no... you're not real." I cried.
"I'll make your you join me in hell." He had an evil smile plastered on his face. I tried to run out of the cell but I felt hedged in. I looked down and saw that i was back on the seat and cuffed to it. I tugged at the cuffs hysterically trying to break free but it was to no avail. I raised my head and saw that he was standing up, drenched in the pool of his own blood.
In a split second he was before me. He grappled my jaw with his bloodied hands and this made me open my mouth to scream but no sound came out.

I gasped as my eyes fluttered open. I was panting hysterically and only felt tranquilized when I cognized that I was in my room. It was a nightmare. I looked around my room pondering on how i got there.
Had everything that happened been a dream? How was i sleeping in my bed?
If i recall correctly, i was just in a cell spewing my guts out subsequent to watching that man die. Now he's in my dreams. I held my head as stood up from my bed. Using my eyes to scan the room for my phone and i located it laying on the bedside table. I grabbed it and checked for missed calls which i saw that i had nine from Riley. I navigated through my phone, went to my Whats App messages and saw that i had been bombarded with messages from my parents and sister.
I called my parents first cause i didn't want them filled with anxiety. I assured them that i was fine, lying that i had misplaced my phone and had only just found it. My parents prayed for me as usual and i hung up to call Riley.
"Hey girl I've been trying to reach you for two days now, are you okay?"
"I'm okay Riley, I was sick....and erm wasn't with my phone."
"Hmm, we'll I came by your house yesterday and you weren't home."
"I was at the hospital...."
"Okay....you sure, you good though because the boss kinda already had you replaced."
"What? O my God, I'll be on my way to the restaurant now."
"Okay, I'll be waiting."
I couldn't tell her about the things that had occurred these past few days. I didn't want to put my self in any more trouble. All i wanted was to banish all i had seen from my thoughts.
She disconnected the call and i hastily rushed to bathe and i moisturized my body. I checked my bathroom door to grab one of my panties which i had dried there the day i was kidnapped but I found none of them. I searched the room and scratched my head wondering how they disappeared. I didn't have the time to fret about that so i took another one from my bag. I had noticed an envelope by my window but i was too preoccupied with getting ready to pay attention to it.
With a frantically nervous gait i walked to the bus-stop to join the queue after a few minutes i boarded the bus. While i was on the bus i couldn't stop cogitating on how the Uber driver was doing. My inclination was to text him so i could know if they let him go to but i was too sheepish to do that. Taking into account that it was my fault that he experienced all that trauma. I got to work One hour 12 minutes later, there had been a little traffic. Conventionally from my place to work it always took 50 minutes to be exact.
I walked through the staff door and proceeded into Mr. Chang's office. He was in a meeting so I had to wait for an hour 20 minutes.
Eventually he got out of the meeting and attended to me. 
" Hello Benny how are you?" He inquired.
"Good day sir, I'm fine thank you."
I spoke one at a time, i didn't want to piss him off, he had a terrible temper.
"I believe you should have guessed by now that you no longer have a job here, I do not tolerate people who do not take their jobs seriously."
My eyes watered at his words and my heart crumbled.
"I am so sorry, Mr. Chang. I had personal issues and I couldn't come to work. Please let me have my job back. I am literally on my knees, sir."
I went on my knees and clasped my hands together, hoping he would have compassion for me but he didn't bulge.
"There's nothing i can do, kindly come back tomorrow for you pay."
I still pleaded with tears in my eyes. It was evident on his face that my actions irked him so he threatened to call security on me, by that time i had gotten tired of pleading so i left. I decided to walk for a little while before heading home. I was devastated, i was angry. I felt robbed, that son of a bitch had caused this. This was all his fault.
