Fear passed through her like a cold ghost and she shivered, I saw it. She dropped her hands and shoved the knife back into her pants.
“You’ll pay” was all she said before storming out of the building.
I watched her leave and I started trying to get my slender wrist off the ropes, it ended up cutting my skin and blood escaped the wounds. I gave up and cried. I deserved this, if I just stayed home, if I just stayed home I would have been sfe, Christian would be home now and I’d let him hold me while he told me about this day, everything would go so smoothly.
I cried because it felt like the last time I would ever see Christian was this morning before he left.
***
CHRISTIAN
I walked in to see a house staff packing wrapping paper from a box, she put in into a plastic bag.
I walked past her and I reached the stairs when she called me back.
“Good afternoon sir”
I turned to look at her, she paused for a while as if she was waiting for my permission to speak. I raised a brow at her and she took it as cue.
“She left, Miss Jenna. She was in a rush and she refused to take a car, she looked worried”
It took long excruciating seconds before my mind processed what I was hearing and I was troubled.
“Where did she go?”
“She didn’t say” the young woman said, but, what she didn’t understand was that I wasn’t talking to her.
U had rushed home as fast as possible immediately I saw the pictures she sent me, she stole my heart all over again. I was coming home with eagerness and desperation, I wanted her, I needed her and now as I entered into the bedroom… It’s empty.
I searched everywhere and when it was clear that house staff wasn’t delusional, I didn’t waste any second. I called my tech guy to track phone.
“It’s on the move, boss” Harry said.
I understood what he meant. She might just be visiting someone, I tried to tell my mind she was alright because I was just a thought away from collapsing and having an accident.
“Give me the location”
After he called the location, I became worried.
“What is she doing in the trenches?”
“Maybe she had friends there?” Harry replied but Jenna didn’t keep friends.
I starved driving to the location.
“You’re in luck, it stopped, I’m pulling up the map to check the house… Oh, it’s an apartment building, very shitty… Dear god, it’s abandoned too”
Too many things were going on in my mind, I wanted Harry to shut the fuck up but I knew his importance right now
Through out the drive, the signal from the phone didn’t move, it remained in the house. Harry gave me the particular apartment details and I pulled out in front of the building.
Harry was right, the house was abandoned, but it doesn’t mean it wasn’t used. A man with dirty clothes walked out cupping his hands to his face as he struggled to light a cigar.
I watched him walk away leaving a white trail of smoke and a bad smell. As I walked into the building, snow crunched underneath my black shinny shoes. A horrible stench was heavy in the air. Homeless people walked about.
I closed the door behind me, mild darkness collapsed into the room. All the windows were shut and it didn’t allow ventilation, the smell of sweat, urine, defamation and all kinds of foul things the human body could produce was being produced here and being accumulated without the need to be cleaned.
I was a huge contrast, in my expensive Armani suit, expensive watch, expensive everything, I was like a giraffe in the midst of alligators. They all turned to me and they place fell silent as they stared at me unmovingly, at least the ones that could stare.. there were multiple people rolling the ground, high from one drug or the other. Too happy to give a fuck even if the word was ending.
There were drug addicts here too, what the hell is Jenna doing here.
I didn’t want to believe she was here and I didn’t want to believe any other thing, if she wasn’t here it means she was in trouble and there was no hopes of finding her… I wanted her to be here. I climbed the stairs leading to the first floor of the house, I reached the third floor and saw the apartment number.
I knocked and waited.
I heard the shuffling of movements and a moan, I raised my hand to knock but there was another cry of pleasure. I didn’t know I had kicked the door down until it was flying inwards.
I stepped into the apartment. Of course, my mind didn’t believe it was Jenna moaning, I didn’t even believe it was her, I knew what her moan sounded like but something in me went rigid.
“What the fuck!” A woman yelled, she had matted hair, dirty… Soaked and drenched in sweat.
She was named and her face was splattered with cum, the white liquid dripped from her chin and jaw. I turned to see a man scrambling for his clothes, he had dark hair and he was tall. His cock dangled as he ran for his pants.
“Who are you?” He asked me, looking from my face to his broken door, he wasn’t happy about it and I wished he would do something about it.
I wanted to leave and say maybe everything was a mistake, but I trusted Harry, he never failed me.
I looked around the small living room, searching for a clue.
“Get out man”
I looked up to see the man approaching me, I paid him little attention. On the couch was a Dolce and Gabbana purse I had gotten for Jenna a few weeks ago.
It was laying there like a souvenir.
The man walked up to me, I grabbed his wrist, then his head and I kicked his knees. He fell and he used it right hand to support himself, but I added all my weight and he landed too hard, his right arm snapped, his bone popped under the pressure and he let out a gruesome howl of pain.
The woman cried and tried to run out.
“Stay” I ordered her.
She fearfully sat on the couch. The man howled from under me.
“The purse, where did you get it?”” I asked the man and turned to the woman, I didn’t know how it was here and I didn’t know which of them brought it here.
“It’s not me, I don’t even live here, I don’t know this guy, he offered me thirty for a blowjob and I ..”
She wasn’t lying, she was just a whore, I could tell.
“Get out”
She ran out of the apartment naked.
