The Shadow Executioner

CHAPTER 2 Trouble

I FORCED A POLITE SMILE on my face and looked at his eyes, I need to approach this diplomatically and deal with that conniving snake outside of work. That piece of fucking useless shit, when I am done here, I am going to key his beloved Tesla.

"Well, Ms. Martinez what is your side of the story?" Mr. McLaughlin said now annoyed by my lack of response. I apologized and decided to explain everything that happened.

"I will tell you everything, but the cameras in the parking garage should have caught everything on tape." I said curtly beginning my story:

"Rochelle! How dare you walk away from me, I simply asked if you wanted an escort to your car. And this is how you thank me for being a gentleman? You give me the cold shoulder and don't even look at me when I 'm talking to you!" Donovan screamed following me out of the front of the building and to the parking garage. It was already 8 o'clock at night I just wanted to go home. I had no intention of speaking with him in fear that I would punch him in his round face.

"I do not need an escort Mr. Saunders; I am a big girl I can protect myself." I said walking quickly before I felt strong and chunky fingers wrap around my left wrist. I stopped and held my keys tightly in between my knuckles ready to defend myself.

"If you are not going to accept my kind offer, then you will make it up to me by going on a date instead." Donovan growled starting to pull me out of the parking garage.

"Are you serious? You want to date me? I can't fucking stand you!" I screamed as I heard some heels clicking in the distance, sounding like a run followed by a mop of straight blonde hair: Lydia maybe she is getting help. I laughed at the stupid thought and tried to yank my arm from his grasp.

"You are in no position to deny me woman. Know your place especially when your superior is talking to you." He said tightening his grip and dragging me behind him. I had enough and took my switchblade that was on my keys and swung at his arm holding me, with a fast and hard motion hearing his unmanly squeal. I smirked and ran back to the garage seeing some of the blood of his arm on my somewhat sharp blade. I quickly wiped it on my black pencil skirt before it could drip on the concrete.

I hit the panic button on my car hoping it would grab someone's attention. I can't run in these damn heels. I slid them off and held them in my left hand as I started running. I could hear heavy footsteps running behind me before I was pulled back and slammed into the cinder block wall. I gasped in pain as the wind was knocked out of me, I bit my cheek trying not to cry in pain, I refused to shed tears for this man.

"You will go out with me, or I will have you fired for your lack of respect. Oh, sweet Chelle, I will enjoy the hell out of you." He said pinning my arms above my head making me drop my shoes to the side of us. I sneered and tried to wiggle free of his grasp.

"DON''T CALL ME THAT, YOU CALL ME BY MY REAL NAME NOT A NAME MY FRIENDS GAVE ME. NOW LET ME GO." I yelled thrashing about, where is everyone? It isn't that late. I could feel my breathe catching in my throat as I was beginning to panic since Donovan over powered me. Think Rochelle, assess the situation, daddy always said to be aware of your surroundings and use what was in reach. I scanned the room as I could feel Donovan tighten his grip around my arms shoving me further against the wall. I scanned the small area we were pressed in as I could feel Donovan's breath tickling my neck.

"I've been waiting for this moment awhile you little minx." He said pressing his lips against my neck, I growled and threw my right knee up trying to strike him in his nuts but he blocked me with his left hand, he was now only pinning me with his right hand. I smirked knowing he took the bait. I quickly swung my elbow down into the back of his neck and shoved him away from me. I grabbed my shoes and ran toward my car, clicking my car twice to auto start it. I could hear what sounded like a hungry monster behind me running faster. I jumped in my car locked the door and drove off, I drove to Rae's house afraid of being alone that night.
