Cry Wolf ||Book 2

The Lee's secret

The next day at work was like every other day cutting hair, styling it, and makeup.

I sweep and mopped the floors of the salon, the bell of the store was ranged "Olivia someone's looking for you." Emily said I look up to see a girl she seemed older then me I put the mop away and walk over to the front counter. "Hi how can I help you?" I asked she smiles "Hi I'm Ari Lee," she said I look at her a bit confused "I'm Mark's sister" she said I turn to see Lami dropped the flower vase “I'm sorry.” she said I look back at Ari Lee "I heard so much about you." she said I smile a little "it's great to meet you but Mark never told me about having a sister." I said she lets out a small sigh "Well that's a Lee secret." she said awkwardly laughing so did I "Oh um we are closing up so if you want you can wait while I grab my things then we can go somewhere and talk." I said she nods I walk into the back room I look at Lami "Mark's sister? How can we know if she's actually Mark's sister?" Lami asked I grab my coat and bag. "Lami that's why I'm going, to figure out.” I said before leaving the room and the salon.

I put my hands in my coat pocket as I walk the cold streets with Ari, "So how old are you?" I asked she laughs a little "I'm 21 years old." she said "So your older then Mark." I said "no we are both the same age. How old are you and I mean your korean age not international age." she said I look at her we got a coffee shop "I'm 20 years old" I said we ordered our coffee and sat by a window "So you're younger then Mark" she said "So tell me why didn't Mark ever mention having a sister?" I asked she smiles a little "Well when I was born our parents wanted me to have a perfect life by sending me away with our aunt in the USA, so me and Mark never really knew each other that well. When I came here for my eighteen birthday he told me everything about what happened to our parents he told me to go back to USA until he finds our parents so I did and waited for so many years." she said I look at her "I didn't know about anything until the day of his f...." she said looking down "His funeral," I said letting out a sigh "Mark knew about having a sister but never told any of us." I said "He wanted to protect me by not mentioning me to anyone." she said "My mom told me about you Olivia, one your guys friend Johnny told my mom about you two and how he was gonna propose to you. I always thought that Mark was the player type of guy but I was wrong," she said looking at the ring on my finger "You still wear even though he's not coming back." she said I slowly bring my coffee up to my lips sipping the warm drink "I guess you're still in shock about finding out that Mark has a sister." she said I put my cup down "I mean Mark is filled with secrets so is everyone." I said she smiles "So they are" she said

We leave the coffee shop after spending three hours talking. "Well Olivia it was nice meeting you, we should hangout sometime." she said before leaving I walk the opposite direction. I felt someone following me, I heard someone else's footsteps. I pick up my pace a bit that person picked up their pace as well. I started running, running to wherever my feet take me to I felt my chest began to hurt, I ran into some dark place and hid behind a dumpster. I felt the fear crawl over me like millions of spiders, I hear footsteps approach the dark alley. I cover my mouth to hide my heavy breathing, I peck to see someone with a black hood he slowly reveals himself. I felt the tears began to flow from my eyes I look away before be could see me, my body began to shake in fear I wanted to scream for help but knowing the risk I didn't make a sound. The footsteps approach to where I was hiding I shiver as a cold breeze blew through the air I hear breathe in the cold air, he lets out a malevolent laugh "I know where you're hiding Olivia, come out before things get nasty." he said I remove my hands from my mouth I slowly rose from where I hid, the bright lights of a headlight was flashed on me the sound of an engine was heard it wasn't a car it was the sound of a motorcycle. I turn to see David stood there holding a gun, he walks over to me I backed away to be stopped by a wall. He grabs me as he holds the gun against my head "If you don't leave the girl dies!" he shouted at the person in a motorcycle I felt my body froze in fear as the word death ringed through my ears. My life was peaceful and quiet til that white box, was my life gonna end this way? Was I gonna die in the hands of the guy whose been stalking ever since the death of my boyfriend?
