Normal Girl

Chapter 12

Olivia

It's been six days since the scene played out in my living room, since he left for Jamaica, since I realized that I should divorce Cain and be with Chris. I saw him enjoying himself in Jamaica and maybe he did act like I never existed, I'm the one who said it and shouldn't be hurt right? I was too scared to leave Cain because he seems like he's capable of anything and I think he has someone following me. I say this because when I was at the grocery store to pick up something to cook this man was two feet away from me and every time I went to another aisle there he was. I don't know if I was being paranoid or not but I hurried up and went back to the mansion instead of my condo just in case Cain was doing this to me. Once I got in I set the alarm and locked every single window and door. I cut all the lights off and grabbed the gun under the coffee table that I had hidden for protection. It was so dark in here and quiet that I considered calling Chris to protect me but it's so wrong to even think he would care. On top of that he doesn't need to fight my battles and get killed in the process. I'm glad he's forgotten about me and living his life. 

I slowly walked around the house and heard the ding to the elevator coming from the garage. Why does this feel like déjà vu when Chris came to my condo in the middle of the night and kissed me. But this was different because I was alone in a big mansion and lived with Cain. He was supposed to be on a business trip and his red Aston Martin was nowhere to be found. So who had the audacity to come to this mansion with no permission. I hid behind the kitchen wall and tried to hide my shadow so whomever was coming wouldn't see me. 

As the elevator dinged each time until it was arriving to the living room my heart kept pounding, I took a deep breath and calmed myself for whatever was about to happen. A shadow came past the counter and I peeked to see two masked men walking through the living room. I silently hit record on my phone and put the light on save mode so they couldn't see it shining. I tried calling Chris but I knew he didn't know my main number so I left a message asking him to help me.

"He said she would be here, you go check upstairs I'll stay down here"-Unidentified man's voice

"Okay remember he wants her unharmed until he gets back"-Other man

"Got it, it's a shame that he somewhat loves her because we could do some things to her beautiful ass"-First man said laughing

"Yes a shame, even though he's out with his mistress"-Second man said laughing

As they split up I eased my way to the guest bedroom and went into the secret wall to look through the vent to see where the first man was so that I could get a shot in to knock him down at notch. He was going back and forth through every room until he came into the guest room. I held my breath and tried my best not to make a sound, he scanned the room and stared right at the wall as if he saw me. 

"Jo come here"-Second man said

"You find something?"-Jo

"Yeah come up right quick"-Second man

The man identified as Jo walked out the room and I breathed a sigh of relief then ran through the wall and my shirt got caught on a nail.

"Shit"-I blurted out

"What was that?"-Second man

"Sound like it's coming from the walls"-Jo

"That sneaky bitch is hiding from us, she saw us coming"-Second man

"Tee go find some way to get in the wall check everywhere"-Jo

"Okay"-Tee

"Wait a minute I know where, let's check the guest room"-Jo

I ripped my shirt off the nail and hurried up to get to the exit on the other side of the mansion so they wouldn't catch me. I heard commotion coming from the guest room and saw Jo coming for me while shooting, I got hit in my arm and winced in pain. He grabbed me by the hair and I kicked him in the nuts and ran as fast as I could to the exit then placed a long piece of wood across the door so he wouldn't get out while scrapping my nails and blood came out. I picked  the gun back up and ran across the garden when I heard.
