Chapter 3

• My back was shoved roughly to a wall and I groaned in pain.
• I looked up to see his hazel eyes staring down at mine. He moved his face closer to mine while I moved back in fear.
• "Going somewhere princess??" He asked with a wide grin on his face.
• I gasped in shock. God no!! Is this how I'll finally die??
• I tried to run away but he held me more tighter than before. His grip hurt like hell.
• "No tell me. What are you doing in a deserted alley??" He asked, attempting to move a strand of hair from my face but I moved away in fear.
• "Please don't do anything to me. I swear I won't tell anyone what happened today." I pleaded in fear while rubbing my palms together.
• "Who said anything about hurting you??" I looked up to stare at him in confusion.
• "You'll let me go??" I asked hopefully.
• "I never said I'll let you go. You just witnessed something you should have never seen. Why would I let you go scot free??" He asked giving me an 'are you that dense?' look.
• "I only promised not to hurt you. If only you behave." He said.
• I took in a deep breath. He promised not to hurt me. I just need to obey him, that way, I'll be safe. What could go wrong??
• "Everything could go wrong. He's a goddamn killer. He has a friggin' gun!!" My inner woman screamed at me.
• Right! I almost forgot about his pistol. I looked down shakily and saw him still holding onto it.
• He traced my gaze with his eyes and chuckled when he saw what I was looking at. He pinched my chin and lifted it up so our eyes could meet.
• "I wouldn't have to use this of you behave." He said while pressing the side of the pistol on my face.
• I took in a shaky breath. I just have to make him lose the gun. That way, I can easily escape.
• "Okay. I'll be calm." I mannaged to croak out.
• "Good girl. Now follow me." He said and pushed me foward.
• I turned to stare at him in confusion.
• "I need you to walk in front of me so you won't easily escape." He said like it's the most obvious thing right now.
• "Okay. Where are we going?" I asked.
• "Where you met me." He said and motioned with his armed hand for me to start walking.
• I took in a deep breath and started walking slowly.
• "Faster!!" I jumped in fear when I heard his husky voice and started walking faster.
• "Lord, if I get through this, I promise never to pass through an alley anymore." I prayed within myself.
• It wasn't long before we got to the crime scene. Yeah, I called it a crime scene because the highest of all crimes was committed right here.
• I almost puked when I saw the dead guy's body. Blood was still seeping from his forehead, where he was shot. I felt really sorry for him. He didn't deserve this.
• "Don't try anything stupid." The interviewer said and crouched close to his body.
• He started searching the dead guy's body again for whatsoever. When he didn't find anything, he stood up angrily. I just watched in fear.
• "What a waste of my precious time." He muttered and brought out his phone. He dailed a number and started to talk to someone at the end of the line.
• I stood in uncertainty as he backed me and kept speaking to someone on the phone. He was still holding onto his gun.
• It would be better to attack now that he isn't watching. This is my chance. I tiptoed and picked up a rod that was close to me.
• I did it really quitely that he didn't notice. Just then, I started having second thoughts. What if he ends up dead??
• "This is the right thing to do. If I don't do it, he'll just kill you. Besides, he's a murderer who's holding you hostsge." My inner woman warned.
• Yes, she's right. No one will bkame me if something happens to him. It's only self defense.
• Just when if wanted to knock him out, he turned towards me.
• "What do you think... arghhh!!" He screamed in pain when I suddenly used the pole to hit his armed hand making the gun fall off.
• Luckily, it fell right in front of me. I was quick enough to pick it up and pointed it at him.
• "Don't come close to me!!" I said pointing the pistol at him.
• "What are you going to do? Shoot me?" He asked taking slow steps towards me making me move back.
• "I said you shouldn't come closer!!" I screamed in fear.
• "Do you even know how to use a gun?" He taunted.
• I cocked the gun and shot a trash can that was beside him before aiming back at him.
• "Try me!!" I muttered. That made him stop coming closer. Thankfully.
• I took slow steps backwards and picked up the grocery bags I left before. I continued walking backwards so I would know if he's following me.
• When I was finally out of the alley, I used my my clothes to ckean my finger print off the gun before throwing it into a trashcan.
• After that, I ran home without looking back nor stopping to take a breather. I'll never oass through an alley anymore.

• Damian watched in fascination as she left in fear. He held his injured hand in pain. She really has some guts and force. She really hit him hard.
• After waiting for a few minutes, five hefty men dressed in suits rushed towards him.
• "Boss!! Are you alright?" One of them named Grey asked in worry.
• "Hmm." He grunted in reply.
• "What happened?" Grey asked again eyeing the dead body on the floor in disgust.
• "I need you to do something for me." Damian said ignoring Grey's question.
• "First, I need you to dispose of the body and find out every sing detail about him." Damian ordered.
• "Okay sir."
• "Also, I need you to find someone for me." Damian said.
• "Who's it sir??" Grey asked.
• "Her name is Selina Cortez. Find her and bring her to me alive and unscathed."
• "Yes sir." Grey bowed respectfully before turning to face the other men in suits.
• "Selina, let's see how you'll escape from me now." Damian muttered with a smirk on his lips.
