JULLIAN POV
"the analysis..."My phone began ringing, cutting the flow of the presenter.Everyone stares at me blankly.because apparently they gave a rule that all phones must be on silence or switched off during all meetings.I pick up the phone and see it is Amara.I toss the phone to Flynn, and he catches it perfectly. "Handle it," I command. He nods. Then I turn my focus back to the projector. "Please continue," I say. and he continues his presentation.
AMARA POV
I try to remain calm as I call Jullian; this time it is not going through.He calls back and says, "Jullian can't protect you today." "Who is this?" I shout with all my might. My blood quickened, and he ended the call."I should go and get some fresh air and think about what to do about this situation," I say. I take a glass of water as I head out. I sit on the bench out front sipping it calmly.He calls again. My senses quickened.I slowly hold the phone up to my ear. "I see you, Amara; you look good in that pink dress."The glass in my hands falls to the ground as I rise in fear, turning my eyes in all directions.I see no one standing around, and I rush back inside the office in fear.
My pace quickened as I entered back into the HQ. I rushed through the doors so quickly that the secretary at the front desk did a double check before facing me with a confused expression written all over her face.when I sit back down at my desk in Jullian's office.
A message pops up. "You can run from me, but you can't hide." My legs tremble beneath the desk as I read the text; I try to steady them.I drop my phone on my desk."Jullian, please help me.
I think a guy is stalking me; it's making me go crazy," I message him.The man calls again. "The diner was just a warning you failed to ignore. Well, darling, only experience will teach you," he says in a dark and low tone.
"You know you can still run away while you have the chance and end things with Julian, and no one gets hurt, but if you stall, I have eyes everywhere. I am currently watching your mom as we speak. Do you need some more pictures?"My phone beeps, and my mom is in the picture with one of her friends discussing.
"Do what you have to; the clock is ticking."He ends the call. I try again to call Jullian, but he doesn't answer.I grab my bag and stuff my things inside the bag and head for the door. When I get home, I grab my keys, wanting to open the door. When I pause, I notice that the front door is left half open.I open it wider, and it makes a screeching sound.When I enter, my mouth is left open. I see that my furniture has been upturned, glass shattered all around the floor, and my large picture frame that leads to my kitchen has been destroyed completely and broken down completely.I follow the trail of broken glass and head for my kitchen. Lo and behold, my appliances were all destroyed, and my plates were all smashed and damaged beyond repair.I walk towards the counter.I am about to call the police when I see a note lying on the counter.I pick it up and begin to read it.My mouth fell open at the content of the letter.Just when I was done reading the content, I heard footsteps behind me.I freeze in place; my mind runs through possible things to do. The man walks. up to me and put a knife to my throat.I immediately try to turn when the knife diverts and pierces through the skin of my shoulder. I immediately scream in pain, and the man rushes out of the house.
GENERAL POV
Mae Christy, who lives in the compound, was coming back home when the masked man came back home running for his life.He bumped into her, making the content of her bag fly up; he still continues running without even looking back."Young man, young man," she cries out, but he was long gone. She pauses to think for a while."That man was rushing out of Amara's house. Did he steal something, maybe jewellery, because his hands were lodged deep inside his pocket? Maybe I should go and check," she said.She gathered the content of her bags.before carrying it.When she entered the compound, she heard faint cries. She rushed inside only to find Amara, who lay in a pool of blood."Amara, how did this happen?" she asked as she came near."Let me call 911."
Amara face turned pale and skin turned frail .
‘‘Amara don’t close your eyes sweetie , help is on its way ’’ she said as she gently tapped my shoulder
