A few hours drive, the cab stopped by a huge mansion.
He rugs head back to the passenger's seat and said, "Ma'am, we are here?".
I tilted my head down a little and noticed a huge golden gate mounted at the front
I got down from the cab after paying for the fare and slowly walked toward the gate.
A man stopped me the second I walked inside the huge mansion.
"Hey! Who're you looking for?". He asks.
I stared behind and a man holding a loaded rifle stared coldly at me.
"Hello, is your boss, Corey inside?". I asked.
"Why are you looking for my boss and who are you again?", He asked, repeating his exact words...
I rolled my eyes...
I can't be doing this with him.
"Sir, can you go in and call Corey outside, tell him that Muna Daniels, daughter of Mr. Naunan Daniels is outside waiting for him,"... I raged up my voice a little.
The man takes a hand pressing his gun.
I thought he was going to use that on me, however, he rolls his eyes and left to inform his boss inside.
I waited outside, looking around.
A few minutes later, I heard someone approaching me.
I looked up and the same man, who had met at the gate, came back.
He says, "come with me miss, he says it wouldn't be nice to talk, under this hot sun,"...
I went quiet for while before responding.
"Fine! Let's go,". I said, timing his every step.
....
We went inside the mansion...
Navigating towards a room ahead.
We got close and he asks me to get in.
I stared at him before doing that.
I made a slow walk inside and there he was, Corey, staring at me from his chair...
"Good morning beautiful, this one you came to see me today, I hope all is well?". He grinned.....
That stupid grin made me pissed.
I let go of the door handle and approached him seated with a table placed in front of him.
"What the hell is this?". I said as I angrily emptied my bags with the entire flyers on the table.....
Corey picks up a flyer and laughed.
"Aww! Look how cute you're,". He takes his eyes up to look at me, I frowned.
"Don't be like this baby girl, I did nothing wrong, after all, you'll soon become my wife,". He said. He kept the flyer back on the table...
"You're not serious are you!". I yelled.
"What exactly do you mean?" He said, jokingly...
"Don't act smart with me, how dare you print this and send it to my entire college," I slammed my hands onto his table, " have you gone mad?". I shouted...
Corey takes his head back, pressing it against his chair's head, he says, "mad?, I'm I mad because if you want mad, I'll show you madness, baby girl,". He grinned, getting up from his chair.
I took a step backward, as soon as he did.
Corey saw that and slowly began to approach me.
"Hey, don't come close to me, I'm warning you,". I said, withdrawing my steps backward.
"Why shouldn't I?, After all your not afraid of me, ". He falls his eyes down for a while before hitting it up to my gaze again, "or are you scared of me, Muna Daniels?".. he kept on approaching me.
I moved back until I had nowhere else to move. Corey comes forward, pressing his hands against mine...
I saw that and looked up at his gaze.
"Can you let go, Corey?". I said. In a rude tone
He sees his hands pressing against mine on the wall and said, "why should I, after all, we should learn how to become closer to each other, ".
He squeezed my fingers...
As he stares directly into my eyes......
"S.. stop, you're hurting me,". I complained.
Corey ignored.
"Why should I?, You're a strong lady, you should already know how to suppress your pain, " he laughed, " did you forget, you're the same person, who knowingly had her hands, fixed into a burning furnace, yesterday, did you forget, Muna?".
He said as he continued squeezing my hands, pressing me against the wall...
