Pispa casted him a dagger stares. “Mum ready?” She turned to Shirin.
Shirin nodded.
“Don’t think you can run away from me, feisty one.. because you are mine. And mine alone.” Someone bloodily said from behind and Pispa’s breathes hitched.
For a while she couldn’t get herself, she remembered that voice, so gravely and dangerous.
Hazard.
he lingers?
Gasp rippled through the air, Ronnie hand became sweaty. The same thing he was telling Pispa right now—he was going to come after her.
“That’s him.” Mel muttered behind their mum who couldn’t stop looking at Hazard, his eyes was blazing with anger, he was with some guards.
Dulcie’s hands clutched unto his mother’s hand as they stared at Hazard.
Shirin ran and held Pispa. “Is that him?”
Pispa nodded “That’s the devil I’m talking about. Mum you guys have to leave and I will have deal with him alone.” She turned to her mother.
“Hey. You think you can run out from me huh?” Hazard’s voice rang out. It was cold and hoarse. “I told you, you are mine and I have to take what’s mine.”
“Mine?” Ronnie mumbled with narrowed eyes.
“I told you, I can’t be with someone like you, you are heartless and cruel!” Pispa yelled.
“Look here..”
“Who are you?” Shirin asked, trailing him off, his gaze shifted towards Shirin.
Hazard chuckled darkly. “The name is Hazard DeHavilland.. and from today onwards that name owns your daughter… She goes no where except I want her to do.”
“Why?” Shirin sobbed “She is innocent.”
Hazard chuckled again. “Innocent?” He sucked in air. “Well.. I need your innocent daughter to stay with me… I’m offering her a job to save her poverty-stricken family, so, she has to stay with me.”
Pispa shut him a glare, likewise others and he smirked.
“If she aren’t going I have no other choice than to do what I have in mind.” He added looking up at Pispa who was silent for a while now.
Shirin slowly touched Pispa with tears that was streaking down. “What happened? How did you ended up in his trap?”
“Mum.. I’m sorry but…”
“You have to stay with him.”
“What?” Pispa exclaimed.
“You never can tell who is his targets, your dad, me, you or it might be your siblings.” Shirin whispered.
“I can’t stay with someone like him.” Pispa said “Beside he won’t do anything.. just bluffing.”
“It isn’t. I have heard a lot about him, he is dangerous.. he has hurt do many families and render them useless.” Shirin said.
Pispa sighed looking at her mother who was so heartbroken, her eyes drifted towards Dulcie and Mel who watched her sadly.
“Pi’s.. please save us.” Mel said.
“Mel.. you don’t say things like that.”
“I know but.. he is cruel.. I feel so bad but we can’t do anything, he has connections and can’t take us out of the earth in a sec.” Mel said slowly.
“I’m sorry. Big sis.” Dulcie said hugging Pispa. “I’m so sorry we are poor and can’t fight for you.”
Tears rolled off her eyes but she wiped it with her back hand turning towards Hazard who had a wicked smirks.
“Done with your emotional slushes?”
“What do you want from me?” Pispa asked, her voice was low but commanding, her eyes piercing in his, with anger flickering in them.
“Simple. I want a servant..”
“Why me?”
“Sharp mind, Feisty, a student in a cooking academy… mother working in a cafe, your family is so poor and you need money.” He smirked.
“So I need someone who will never run away from me no matter what. So you decide, your family’s life is in your hands.” He added.
Pispa casted him a dagger stares without saying anything.
“So you are perfect.. You are my perfect possession.” He chuckled. “So from now on you are mine right?”
Pispa gulped down nothing, looking away from his eyes. “Could this be trap?” She muttered to herself but Hazard heard it.
“Test..? Call It what ever you want. We are going. Vida.. get her into the car.” Hazard order.
“Don’t touch me, I will go by myself.” Pispa growled. “..and I’m not stay in the same car with him.” She said indicating at Hazard.
Hazard laughed leaving, Pispa looked back at her family who wore a mirthless face, slowly it felled on Ronnie who lowered his gaze immediately their gaze locked.
Pispa breathed, stepping into the car and they zoomed off.
Shirin felled on her knees and started crying. “How will she cope? She is innocent.”
“I’m sorry mum, I couldn’t do anything”. Dulcie said hunkered to her level, as well as Mel, they were trying their best to stop their mother from crying.
“Mrs. Haygreen, I promise you she will be fine.” Ronnie said, squatting.
“Hey, Mr. Ronnie… Hope there is nothing going on between you and my sister? She doesn’t seemed happy seeing you.” Dulcie asked curiously.
“Nothing. Remember Pispa could be tough sometimes.” Ronnie defended
Dulcie exhaled.
IN THE CAR
“To the mall.” Hazard ordered. “What’s your body size?” He turned at Pispa who looked to pale and sad.
“None of your business. You can’t drag me out of my house to ask me those rubbish.” Pispa fired.
Hazard smirked. “Speed up.” He muttered at the driver. His heart couldn’t stop tingling, seeing Pispa looking to sad what his aim now.
WAREHOUSE
“The boss said we should release him.” One of the guard said after receiving a call from their boss.
“Okay.”
The hostage was released, and he felled on the ground weakly as he whimpered, he had a bloody nose and mouth, his body was brutal dismantled.
“You are going home, Sir.” The guard said and he looked at them slowly without saying anything.
HAWTHORNE MANSION
Wayne were on the porch, his eyes overlooking the city, one of his guards walked in.
“Have you seen her?” Wayne sipped from his glass of wine, slowly. His left leg had crossed to the other one.
The guard bowed. “An information reaching to us.. Hazard got her, he took her with him.”
“What?” He exclaimed, pouring the content in the glass on the guard. “I want that girl immediately. Right now.”
“Boss..”
“Remember, if you fail, your head goes off.” Wayne warned and he bowed leaving immediately.
“Damn it. He can’t have her.” He muttered, soon his phone pang and it was a message from him father.
DEHAVILLAND MANSION
Pispa breathed stepping into the house she ran away from again, his eyes roamed around the company—yeah she came at night and didn’t realize anything.
And when she was escaping, she wasn’t able to look well, the house was so large and magnificent.
But people in there was bunches of craps and lunatic.
“Hazard.. you finally got her?” Corey walked in when he saw Pispa with Hazard, he had a defensive smiles on his face and his hands was pocketed.
“I know she won’t escape, she is clueless.” He added.
Hazard didn’t say anything walking inside the house, he nearly lose her and that would be his regrets forever.
Corey approached Pispa. “I know you can’t escape.” He shrugged. “Remember we have a deal.. You can’t escape this time.”
Pispa rolled his eyes on him leaving, she feel so sad and dejected. Hitting again in the same spot as before wouldn’t be bad right?
Corey chuckled. “I like a girl like her.”
*
A servant had brought Pispa into a room, a shabby room to be precisely, she had yelled at the servant for bringing her into the dusty room but he kept saying it was Hazard’s order.
She refused to sit, she felt so sad, she wouldn’t stop cursing at Ronnie—she wouldn’t stop blaming him.
He caused it all.
Soon, the door cracked open and the same servant came in. “Uh.. boss need you.”
“Why? Why does he need me? Is he feeling sad for bringing me in this dirty room?”
“I don’t know.” He shrugged. “You have to leave with me.”
Pispa sighed. She left before the servant and he shrugged following her behind. They got to a particular place.
“Where is he?” Pispa asked.
“That room.” He pointed. “Knock before going in.”
Pispa left without giving him a second look, she breathed before knocking, she was standing at the doorway.
“Come in.” The voice from inside said and she walked inside.
“You can’t just use me as your toy.. I’m not the cause of your predicament.” Pispa said. “I know…”
“Get on your knees.” His cold voice was low and commanding. He was reading a magazine and a glass of wine was beside him on a table.
“What?” Pispa narrowed her eyes. “What do you mean?”
“I won’t repeat myself.” He looked up from the magazine, his eyes felled on Pispa who’s mouth parted in shock. She shut her eyes and reopened it as she tried to repress her anger.
Pispa slowly went down on her knees, shutting her eyes. She doesn’t want to see him. She felt so humiliated right now but, she is powerless.
Maybe he will come after her family again.
“I need you to crawl from there to here.” Hazard ordered. She slowly crawled to him, with her eyes still shut.
“Open your eyes.”
She slowly opened her eyes. But venoms was all that flickers. Hazard chuckled softly. “Look at me.” He said again grabbing her chin and she did.
“Now, tell me, why do you have to obey me?”
Pispa exhaled. His sight irritates her, she wanted to hit those hands off her chin, but couldn’t. “Because I don’t have any other choice.”
Hazard exhaled. “So tell me, are you willing to give everything to me.”
Pispa heaved a long sigh as she nodded. She is entangled.
Hazard smirked, grabbed his glass and gulped all contents.
TBC…
