HIS DESIRE

THE ESCAPE II

The Dance studio is the same as usual. The loud music from the speakers filled the room, while the dancers danced to the sound. Ariel searched around for Mr

She found him in the corners on a phone call. She stood behind him and waited till he finished. As Mr ended the call he turned around to find Ariel glaring at him with her big eyes.

"You made me scared " He touched his chest in fear.

"Good to see you again Mr " She extended her hand for a handshake, grinning widely.

" What do you want?" He said refusing to shake her hand " After all you're on the edge of becoming the top upcoming artiste, what else do you still need from me?" He scoffed.

" It's a good thing that you went straight to the point" She withdrew her hand placing it her pocket. " It's of no use to hide anything from us. Right?"

He frowned. He what she was talking about. He only used them to make funds for himself. They danced in parties and other shows for his pocket only, hoping for to perform in a show that was specifically made for them to showcase their talents. He only deceived them all this while.

"You know that I was lying to you all this time"

Ariel grinned widely. She already know where he was heading to. She has this feeling that he was only deceiving them all this while. She placed her phone in front of him showing him the picture of Him, kissing her girl at the bar.

"How about I show this to your wife?" She raised her eyebrows in question

He flinched in fear." Where did you get this" He tried to grab the phone from her, but she withdrew quickly, putting her phone back into her pocket.

"What do you want?" He asked her immediately.

" Nothing much" Ariel giggled softly. She was enjoying this. Especially the fear in his eyes.

He knew fully well that once his wife finds out about his promiscuous life, then that's the end of him. And his career too.

He wouldn't want everything he has built to collapse in a day because of his mistake.

Ariel moved closer to him and whispered in his ear. "Just do what you are supposed to do in the beginning"

He stared, full of questions.

" I need a video for my song. " She continued. " I'd need your dancers for the video and your other crew too

"Consider it done, then" He agreed immediately.

"The Shoot." She added " You'll be in charge of that too."

" Ariel that can't--"

She brought out her phone again, and waved it at him keeping him shut. He swallowed hard and nodded In agreement.

After they both agreed. She left the studio immediately. She was happy that she has finally achieved what she wanted that same day. As for the picture she used to threaten him, she took that picture when she worked as a part timer at a bar. She saw him hooking up with this woman at the bar and she took the picture.

Everybody knows that his wife is in charge of his family. Funny enough.

Well that's none of her concern right now. It's already getting dark and she needs to get home as soon as possible. She walked faster through the pavement. She can't wait to get home to tell Chelsea the improvement of things. Especially about Mr.

While she walked, she felt that she was being followed. She looked back to confirm her feelings but she didn't find anyone around. As she turned back to continue her journey, she was being hit on the head and she fell unconscious. A man in dressed in black hoodies, covered in mask, picked a phone call. His other accomplice formed a circle around Ariel's body.

"Yes?" He said in his deep baritone voice. " We have the woman you want. " He said to the unknown caller and he cut the call.

"Take her to our barracks" He ordered his men.

" Okay sir." They followed his instructions, carrying her into the van that followed them there. The van drove away in full speed.

Damien hang up on a phone call. His driver just complained about his car of having faulty issues. He can't stay in the office any longer waiting for him to repair the car. He told him that he's going to find his way back home.

He left the office immediately, gripping his briefcase along, he was going for any public transport heading to his area. He hasn't boarded any public transport before and might be doing this for the first time. As he walked towards the nearest bus stop, He hung his head phones, close to his hear and played some songs. He hasn't still find any song as good as Ella's. But he'll still listen to any song.

While he was headed to the bus stop, He could still hear the happenings around because the music wasn't so loud. He stopped walking because he heard a loud bang, from the other side of the road not to far from where he was standing. He brought down the head phones to his neck. He wanted to be sure of what he heard. He heard another muffled noise from that angle. He moved closer to where he heard the sound, He saw a Man dressed in black hoodies on a phonecall. He seemed like the boss The men around, waited for an order from him. They surrounded something he couldn't see properly.

As expected, the man gave an order and the men carried what he just realized that it was an unconscious woman, inside their van. They all look familiar to him.

When the van left, leaving their boss behind. He walked up to the man in Black hoodies and said

"It's good to see you again, Asher Reynolds" Damien said to the man grinning widely, with his left hand in his pocket, and his other hand still holding his briefcase....
