Chapter Four: Who Are You
1237 Words
Waking up to see herself in a dim dark room, sleeping in a big comfortable bed, the room, well-decorated with black and white marble, was used to decorate the room.
She neither remembered what had happened to her. Here she was sleeping in an unknown house. Scanning through the room as she quickly got up from bed to run out, she winked in pain from her feet, which were bandaged, and fell back to bed again.
Done running? ‘Sebastian's voice came from the shadow of the room, sitting idle on the chair far away from the bed.
Who are you?’ Elena asked loudly, jumping more into the bed, from the sudden voice she held from the room.
Just someone who helped you, now here to reclaim payment for the good I have given you’ Sebastian replied with a strong tone yet calm in the room.
"You have not yet answered my question yet want to claim payment? ‘Fredrick Elena said seriously with a sharper tone this time. “That should do some trick now, not showing my weak side to this stranger in the room”, she thought.
Secondly, why stay on the dark side of the room? Or do you do that to scare people around like that? Trying to look at the face of the person speaking.
It is of no use to see the face of your savior. Okay, tell your name and where you came from?
I asked first, I should be the one to get the answer to my question before yours. She felt talking to him was way easy and not scary at all.
Sebastian sat calmly on the chair, not giving her any response to what Elena said while both stayed like that for two minutes. Not able to stand the silence anymore, Elena took the initiative to speak up.
“You are quite the serious type of the country, Mr. Shadow”.
Sebastian moved a little in his chair. Did I just hear her call me shadow? He thought a nickname given to him by this little girl was quite rare, meeting a stranger for the first time to nickname him.
He smirks with one side of the mouth. Elena continues talking
Well, Mr. Shadow, my name is Elena, Fredrick Elena, long story cut short. I am an orphan. That is my story. She ended her answer with just a few words.
Fredrick Elena?
Yes, that’s right, Fredrick Elena is my name. Anything wrong with my name?
"No, not at all," Sebastian replied to her. The name is more like he had held it from somewhere, but could not recall how he got to know.
You? Elena asked him to bring him out of his thinking mode.
"I am Sebastian Wilson," he said, eagerly waiting for some reaction to play out, but none came.
Elena, on the other hand, continuously calls the name over and over. “Your name doesn’t ring a bell to me, Mr. Shadow.
Is that so? Standing up from the chair he had been sitting on for a while now.
Elena, on the other hand, moved in more inside the bed all because she saw a shadow of Sebastian standing up from the chair. She feared she had been made angry, and he wanted to punish her, but to her surprise, she heard the shutting of the door sound, and he was gone.

Mr. Doman smashed a glass of wine in his hand on the ground. “You could not capture one girl, just one girl, eh... Is it that she out smarted all of you or what?
We didn’t know Sir, we searched every corner of the place she was. It was like she had just disappeared into the tiny air.
Just saying that, he received a strong slap across his face from Mr. Doman was impatient and needed to find Elena at all costs. And here these fools are telling him she has disappeared.
"Do you expect me to believe the rubbish you just say, eh, answer me’ he screamed out, just one girl, one order to be carried out. Now you came back empty-handed, and you all have the guts to even make an attempt to come here to tell me you could not find her.; Mr. Doman, who became more furious than ever, moved from his chair towards the rest of the members standing in his front.
“Two days, two days, I say to bring her back to me, or you will all face my wrath”, pointing out his two fingers to them.

Jenny, who stood outside the door, listening to all her father said, gladdened her heart. She never liked her stepsister, but that does not mean she wanted her dead. She was happy that her father did not get the chance to get to Elena, but at the same time worried because she had no idea where she could be.
All of you get out, leave this instant, and don’t come back until you find her.” Mr. Doman walked them out furious.
I need to find her, or my deal with Mr. White will be gone for good. "I have to make sure she is found, no matter what," he said to himself.

Pissed," Hey you, come here," Jenny called out to Jack, the gang leader. She behaved like she knew nothing was going on.
I held the shout, what is going on, is everything okay? She questioned him
No miss, it’s the boss. He is very angry right now because his deal was rejected, and now he doesn’t want anyone to come close to him.” Jack lied to avoid any more questions.
"Is that so, okay, have you seen my sister anywhere around?” looking at his expression, she knew that he knew something.
No miss, I don’t know where the second miss is.
Okay, follow me, I have some assignments for you to deliver immediately; Jenny pulled him outside; here is the deal. Jack, you will help me find my sister, wherever she is. Let me know. I know this might not be easy. Just help me out without letting my father know about this”, brought out a bundle of money from her handbag and handed it to him.
But Miss, I can’t just go on an assignment without letting my boss know, and the boss found out. "It would be worse for me not to let him know, so my answer to this is no.” trying to force the money back into her hands.
How will he know if he is not informed? Tell me, this is just between us and no one else is there; scanning the area for safe discussion?
Please just take this favor for me this time. You have worked for my father for a while now. You’re the only one I know he is still close to, so do this.
Jack, looking at the money in his hand, has no choice. He knew that he couldn’t say no to this. “Okay fine, but promise not to tell anyone.” He would never trust this little miss in front of him.
Thank you; Jenny left him alone.
This is going to be hard reporting to the boss and, at the same time, reporting to the second miss; he becomes more confused as to what to do.
