Mia's POV

It was late at night, and I was walking down the road ready to go home to my apartment. The library that I worked at closes at 5:00 P.M but I stayed there until 7:00 P.M to clean up and organize everything before I leave.

I turned right at the corner of the way because there is a dark alley which is a short cut going to my building. As I was about to enter, I heard cries of a man begging for another person.

"Please, give me another week, i-i can pay you just give me more time" a man said into his knees.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my apologies Mr. Wilfred, I am all out of chances" that's the last words a taller and bulkier man said before.......

*BANG*

The man who is begging is on the ground with blood splattered all accross his forehead. I loud gasp escapes and I immediately covered my mouth with my hands.

The man with a gun heard me and looked at me. He never break the eye contact between us and fear crept up to my spine.

He is very tall about 6'4 in height compared to my 5'8 height. His blue eyes like the ocean holds the aura and power to dominate. He is very well build because of his well tailored suit that fits his body.

He looks very familiar and I can't point out where I met him before

We stayed like that for a minute or 2 and that's when I started to run going to the direction going to my apartment. I can hear him bark commands in italian and that's when I saw some of his men hiding on the shadows. I kept on running until I reached tge safety of my aprtment building.

I have difficulty on entering the keys because of panic of what just happened.

Once I entered, I immediately locked the door and I made my way to my bedroom. I peeped through the curtains and that's when I saw him down the road looking at my window smirking. He wiped the blood off his suit like it's nothing.

I secured everything for safety like my windows amd doors before I relaxed my rapid breathing and heartbeat. I went to take a shower to ease my mind of what I saw.

Once I was done, I went to my room and that's when I heard my phone ring. I swallowed a lump that formed inside my throat before I answered the call.

"H-hello?" I said and I face palmed myself for stuterring.

I can only hear heavy breathing to the other line.

"I know you're there, stop making jokes or else I will-" I was cut-off when he suddenly spoke

"Or else what beautiful" said by a man with his husky, manly voice.

"I will call the police" I said sounding confident.

He suddenly chuckled

"Go on call them, or you will be next like the guy I killed earlier!" he said warning me.

I let go of the phone and the line went dead. I looked at the window once again and now they are all gone.

I had a hard sleep that night thinking of of the worse fate I could have.
