MACHIAVELLIAN

chapter four

Madel

"you can go in"

after dropping my application, I was called I for an interview, walking into the door, I wasn't even a bit nervous I have done this countless times.

there was a man sitting in the office when I walked, I could sworn I saw a fallen angel if only humans knew what they looked like, he was handsome with a hint of wickedness

who said God wasn't biased

Infront of me was a man craved out of the finest clay by the man upstairs himself.

"he must be God's favorite"

"pardon" he looked at me questioning with his eye,

fuck I must have said that too loud.

I stared at him with a smile and said nothing.

"take a sit miss Mabel"

"Madel"

"what?"

"it's Madel not Mabel" I corrected him, his face looked at him in irritation.

"why do choose to work in our company"

"because I want to work from home" I deadpanned call me stupid but that was the truth,

"just that?" he asked looking at me confused

"yes"

"you sure are a lazy one" he said eyeing me,

"I call it luxury" i retorted leaving him speechless I could take a picture for Wisten, talking about Wisten I hadn't heard from for three days now, I am starting to wonder if he was okay.

"luxury? he scoffed what made little miss brown skin thinks deserve this so called luxury" he said voice laced in Venom

now I was pissed I hated people who were racist when I came to real business.

"That's racist... I wonder what the media will make if this"

"is that a threat?" he asked me getting aggravated

"i will wait for your call"

I said walking out of the office.

standing outside the company I dicided to call Wisten,

"where have you been?"

"sorry, mother I had something to deal with"

"are you okay?...you sound"

"i am fine" he answered sharply cutting the call out, that not like Wisten maybe I should pay a visit.

Wisten

I slumbed on the rug in my bed room as I got, sobbing with my face buried in my palms.

I hated how I had no control of my body, how my heart hurts as I miss him, I yearn for his presence his touch I could still feel his perfume all over me.

I feel pathetic I couldn't resist his touch.

I wanted to ask him if he ever loved me or if he ever had a single feeling for me but I am scared mute when he is around all I do is run,run and run.

“Where the hell are you?“ Madel said worriedly,

“Sorry mother I had something to deal with”

“Are you okay … you sound”

“I am fine” I caught her off I couldn't bring myself to tell her, I didn't want to involve her into this not when I can't even hide from him.

Turning off my phone i clinched my chest in pain,

Why did I do deserve this

I asked myself but all I got was silence, all silence.
