Erela's POV :
It's evening right now.
I've gotten ready for ball.
I'm wearing a velvet rose slash wine red dress. It's a maxi dress with cowl neck. I'm wearing simple pearl earrings and pearl bracelet and my favourite ring which is a heart ring in ruby. My heels are in the same colour as my dress. My hair down, a lil styled for the occasion.
And Zion's wearing a shirt which is the same colour as my dress, matching with off white colour formal pants, red colour shoes, Rolex watch which is I guess the one he's wearing is a limited edition. His hair is slicked back.
I was at first going to go with Zion obviously but after my stalker's text, I would rather go with my parents as after my parents go inside the mansion, I'll be standing outside waiting for my stalker.
~
I'm right now outside of the mansion not many people have come yet but those who have come, they are inside the mansion.
That's when I get a text by my stalker telling me to go to the back of the mansion which I do.
And I see him there.
He's in his signature outfit.
Not really but yet.
All black.
Black hoodie.
And black sweatpants.
His hood covering his face.
And he's also wearing a mask.
I go towards him and stand infront of him maintaing some distance.
"Hello baby." He says in his raspy voice.
"Come a little closer." He adds.
"Get to the point." I say.
"First, you do as I say eerie." He says.
I roll my eyes as I come a little closer to him still maintaining a decent distance.
"A little more baby." He says and I can tell he's probably smirking inside his mark.
I glare at him.
And he chuckles.
"Okay okay." He says, after enjoying the show.
"Let's get to the point." He adds.
"You have been doing something illegal that can send you to jail." He says after a minute as this time he comes closer.
"What?! No!!" I say, being defensive.
"What do you mean?! Do you have any proof?!" I ask.
"Lower down your voice baby, there are people here unless you want them to know about your little tragic secret." He says, his hands now in his pant's pockets.
"Oh... kay elaborate please." I say.
"3 years ago, you met this dog on the streets of your neighborhood. You instantly fell in love with it. Ofcourse, you would I know you're an empathetic person love. Except you being empathetic turned into a great mess. You would give that dog food and care without your parents knowing because you knew that you're parents would be against keeping a stray dog as you're mother is allergic to dogs, anyways, 2 months after you knowing that dog which except for you nobody knew. But suddenly here comes the climax, a drug dealer saw you and your love for the dog decided to blackmail you using it. You being an empathetic person thought about saving the dog first so you put every other person's life to risk. You started selling those drugs to your previous school kids. There you become a drug dealer. You had an agreement with the drug dealer that you would only work with him for 6 months which you did. But this was eating you alive. After 6 months, the drug dealer told you to work for him again and you, ofcourse, refused to and because of that unfortunately he killed that dog infront of you." He says.
He says all this so effortlessly as if this is nothing.
My eyes widen after hearing this.
"How-" I ask as he cuts me off and says.
"How do I know this? Oh baby, I know more than this." He says, chuckling.
"What else do you know?" I ask, my hands and knees now shaking after knowing that.
"I have all the answers that you want." He says.
"What?" I ask, pretending as if I didn't hear what he just said.
"Yes baby. All the questions that you've been asking yourself and God for the past three years, I know the answers of." He says.
"No, you don't." I say, already denying whatever fact he's about to say.
"Yes, I do baby. You've been asking God why did he choose you as his partner right?" He questions, tilting his head.
I helplessly nod because I really do want the answer of that.
Oh if only you knew.
"Because you're the daughter of a well known man, you're young, you're also pretty and smart and kind to all, nobody would question you." He answers.
"Why did he kill miffy at the end?" I ask, all the glow from my face now being gone.
"Because you refused to work for him again." He says.
"Would he not have killed miffy, if I worked for him again?'' I ask again.
"Only he knows that baby. You were just a pawn in his dirty game." He states a fact which I've been denying for the last 3 years.
"How do you even know all of this?" I question.
"Do you remember me baby. 3 years ago you came with that drug dealer to a masquerade party you remember you met all of his drug dealing partners. I was one of them." He says.
"Julian?" I question.
"Asher." He says as he removes his mask and hood.
"Ash... Asher???" I say with my voice being breathless because of the sudden truth being unfolded.
"Asher aka Julian in the drug dealing field." He says.
"Why would you do this?'' I question, still not believing him.
"Money, my love, you all are born rich, you don't know how hard it is to earn money when big fishes like you are in the sea. That's why we go in the easy field." He answers, smiling.
"Why me?" I ask.
"I love you, eerie." He says.
"This isn't love." I say.
"Then what is it? If you don't love me back, it's okay I will make you." He says.
"I'll call the police and you'll go to prison." I say, moving a little backwards because of him.
"I'll take you along there with me, love." He says as he stops me from moving backward and pulls me by waist.
"You're sick." I state.
"In the head, like you?" He says, mocking me.
"I'm not sick in the head." I deny.
"Who are you trying to deceive by saying that baby, you or me?" He questions and chuckles after.
"You were so depressed last year that even you're parents got worried and changed your school so that you'll be a little more happier, unfortunately the killing of your dog made you so sad that you lost your will to live." He says.
"You blamed yourself for his death." He adds.
"It's all on me! I could've died that day rather than him." I say moving back and my knees go weak.
"Come here baby." He says opening his hands and unwilling I go and hug him because I needed comfort some comfort which from past 3 years I've been wanting.
He wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me closer.
"How do you know all this?" I ask.
"I know you baby that why I know all of this." He says.
"I know you inside out, baby." He adds in his hoarse, deep voice and because of that it sounds even more creepy.
