If only it was an Illusion!

Chapter 14 : garage?

I signaled the taxi driver to take a U-turn as Orad cafe was on the opposite side of the town, completely far from my office. I knew that going there was dangerous but I didn't have any other choice too.

"Check my laptop and take it to Mr. Reynolds if necessary, URGENT", I texted my fags so that in case something wrong happened to me, they could alert my boss. I checked upon the delivery status and sighed out of relief when it notified 'success'.

"I can be a bit late today, I apologize already", I dropped a text message on Mr. Reynolds's number. It took me exactly 15 minutes to reach my destination. James wasn't anywhere around so I relaxed and ordered a coffee for myself. I wanted to explain to James, that what he was doing was wrong. I had a 0.01 percent hope that this motherly type of holy lecture would certainly work. I couldn't look at the cons of this situation so I was satisfied with the pros.

"Hello baby girl", this word annoyed me more than anything could ever. James took a seat in front of me and grabbed the coffee mug. I hated his guts and his existence. Mother earth would feel light and relieved if he died.

"Look James, this thing would lead you nowhere, okay?" I breathed deep.

He sipped my coffee "It led me to you" he looked at me and continued "Look Amanda once I get everything that Reynolds has, I can rule and have the most luxurious life ever. We can share that life. I do have feelings for you. I never wanted to blackmail you. It was just because of the circumstances. Forgive me, baby girl?"

I quickly dragged my hand away from his "You are the only person Mr. Reynolds trusts. He considers you his brother. Please don't break that trust. I beg of you"

"That's the reason I dislike him, he takes away everything I like", he paused for a while "You included", he resumed.

Do I like Mr. Reynolds? Why do I even act so possessive when it comes to him? Why does he matter so much? I questioned myself infinite times but was unable to find answers to it. No, I couldn't label the feelings as an attraction.

"I'm just very loyal towards my Job", I replied without any hesitation. He looked at me, straight in my eyes, so I tried to look away. Every time he looked at me, I felt suffocated. It felt like someone was choking me to death.

"Can be seen", he looked at me vigorously, his eyeballs twirling and examining every intimate area of mine.

"You keep my secret and I'll keep yours, fair deal", I stood straight and ironed my dress while standing up straight. James stood in synchronization with me, came closer and caught me through the back of my hair, and certainly pulled it too. It caused me pain, but I didn't utter a single word because I didn't want him to consider me weak and fragile "I dare you baby girl. I'll make your life a living hell if you speak to Aaron anything regarding this topic", he pulled my hair harder this time and took the lead.

I followed him slowly and tried my best to avoid making any noise whilst walking. He opened the door of his car's passenger seat and directed me to walk in. I quickly took a seat and buckled the seat belt. On closing the door, within a minute, he hopped on the driver's seat. Before driving, he quickly attached a pen drive to the on-screen music player and loaded it with pop music online.

"So that my baby girl does not get bored", he looked towards me and smiled. I could sense the evil grin behind it. Initially, I could hear just some slight awkward voices but after taking a glimpse of the screen, I saw the extended version of the video.

"You're such a man-whore" I turned my head in his direction, and cursed him out loud, because his smell was causing difficulty in my breathing.

''Focus on that sensuous video and think about sharing the bed with me. Even the thought makes the dick in my pants bulge", he smirked showing off his teeth. If only I could punch them out.
