Nicola's POV
I was happy after the game I and some fellow guys played at a gamehouse.
I went back to my hostel only to find Hazel by my door
"Hey... How are you?" I asked not expecting to see her
"I'm good, I just decided to pay you a visit and your roomie said you went out", she said with a smile
"Oh, how long have you been here", I asked
"I just got here, how are you", she asked and I nodded, well the thing here is that I don't really trust this girl anymore, she disappeared in the middle of a search for her best friend and reappeared without even asking about the well fare of her best friend
"I'm good, I just came back from a game, want to talk? We could go out, somewhere more quiet", I said and she nodded with a smile
Hazel's POV
This guy looks very smart and if care is not taken he might know about my intention.
He is a great guy and I would love him to be my boyfriend but he loves Lucy and isn't even willing to give me a chance and that slut who called herself my best friend actually thinks I'm a fool, does she think that I won't know what she's doing?
Of course, everyone knows that Luciana Daniels changes boys like she changes clothes and she claims that she doesn't date two men at once!... I mean, what can someone with her public whore status not do?
I now work for Camille because we both have the same goal, maybe not too similar but my plan goes in the same direction as hers, she wants Stacy and I want to deal with Lucy. She gets all the attention and I don't even get one!!
**Flashback**
After I saw her talking to Stacy's Father convulsing body and also with the amount of blood around the tiles floor, I immediately knew what was happening and wanted to run for my life but she was faster than I was and the last thing I felt was something sharp hitting my head.
I woke up with her looking at me from the boot of the car
"You aren't Luciana Daniels, are you?" She asked in a boring tone
"No, I'm not", I replied in fright and she sighed face palming herself
"Who the fuck are you then", she asked
"I'm Hazel Parker, Lucy's best friend", I said quickly and the woman looked surprised
"Best friend?! Wow, oh I understand why you came to the house, you thought you could save her? Awwn, that's such a devoted friend", she said pinching my cheek roughly
"I'm not devoted to anyone", I replied and she was surprised again
"Oh that's surprising? Well we'll, it looks like you aren't as innocent as you look, you hate Lucy, don't you?" She said holding my chin but I snatched my chin away from her grip as I looked away in spite
"Of course I hate her, she has all the men she wants yet the one I want can't be mine because she also wants him to be his", i said quietly
"Really?! This is fascinating! The elder one is a private prostitute and the younger one is a public prostitute! Here, my darling, I would let you go even after what you saw because I know you're very smart to understand that I can do the same to you too but I am freeing you this moment under one condition", she said and I looked at her in anticipation
"That's the look I want to see in your eyes everytime you look at me...now dear, the thing is that I want you to continue to play nice and cool towards Lucy and everyone who knows you know her... Don't worry, I have a big plan for them which would satisfy your hate towards her, by the time I'm done with the plan, you can have as many boys as you please", she said to me and I thought about it
"Not many boys, I just want Nicholas for myself", I said and she nodded whole untying me
"Sure, sure, Nicholas", she said
**End of flashback**
Well Camille called just yesterday to tell me of the plan and I know very well how to execute something like this but it seemed that this Nicholas has began to suspect me, I have to waver his suspicion first else he would ruin everything for me.
"So you came looking for me instead of your friend, why is that", I heard his voice which jolted me back to reality
"I couldn't find Lucy... I went to her house but it was empty, I tried calling her but it won't go through...I..I..I had been in captivity for the past two days", I said crying which caused him to frown in obvious confusion
"What do you mean by captivity...why are you crying? What happened, hush hush, tell me, I'm listening", he said bringing his chair closer to mine
I hugged him in years as he patted my back in worry, well I have heard that black people are caring to a fault, now is my perfect chance to take advantage of that
"You won't believe this but I got kidnapped that night too, I went to...to...", I didn't complete my words as I cried harder
Nicholas' POV
This seemed very awkward as I held held her head to my shoulder, I know it might seem like a cool thing for me but I wasn't feeling it because she was literally in tears
Maybe I jugded her too quickly, I should have tried to ask why she didn't stay with Lucy, you know, why she just disappeared, I'm such an idiot for thinking that such an innocent girl would try to even be in cohort with the kidnappers.
"You were what? This is terrible! How did you escape, I..I.. I'm sorry about this", I said as she wiped her face with her palm sniffling
"I didn't escape, Nick, they let me go because they wanted me to work with them and I agreed", she said and I frowned
"Why would you do such", I asked
"I won't be here with you otherwise, I was given two days to bring Lucy to their warehouse else they would come for me, I'm telling you this because I know you would have a better plan of how to out wit them", she said
"You want to double cross them?" I asked and she nodded
"I would rather risk my life than let anything happen to Luciana", she said and I was smittened by her level of loyalty
"What you did was a risk but since you decided to trust me with this information then I would help you, your risk would become my risk", I said holding her hand
"Thanks", she whispered continuing to rest her head on my chest which I wasn't ready to complain about in any moment from now.
