"Holly why are you late for work?" my best friend Jessica asked with a concern look in her light brown eyes he gaze was solely focused on me as she asked

I got little held up at home with some work but am here now l lie hiding my face so she doesn't see right through my act

"Then why is your face covered with that pink scarf , did Axel hit you again , and don't lie to me?"Jessica questioned me

"No it's nothing , I just fell down the stairs, it's nothing big am going to be fine." I lie

"If that's case let me have a look at your face?" Jessica

"No Jessica , we have work to do ."I say keeping my face covered and head bowed moving it around so she doesn't have a clear view

"It's 7:48 work starts at 8:00 , now stay still so I can look at you," Jessica my best friend demanded

"I can't, we have a lot of work." I say trying to avoid her

"You trying to avoid me , you only say that when hiding something from me ." I cursed the fact that she knew me so well

"Now stay still , let me check you." Jessica said trying hold me still

"Ok fine am stay still , I give up ."

Jessica removes the scarf wrapped around my face and her angry disposition was clear as day on seeing how swollen , bartered and bruised my face really was " I am going to kill him , I mean look at you ,Holly or all swollen up ; I am give him an earful today, you need to get out that abusive relationship." A furious Jessica shouted

"I love him and he loves me too." I stay trying to defend Axel

No that is not love holly a person who loves you doesn't hit you, I mean look at you you're a Von Heist , you supposed to be living like a princess, and you left everything for that ungrateful bastard and he keeps hitting you ; you need to leave him before he kills you." A furious Jessica shouted at me

"No you don't know him like I do , I know he loves me and he is always giving me gifts like flowers and simple but beautiful jewelry , you just don't know him , plus he has never cheated on me." I say defending my man

Come on Holly can't you see through his fake concern for you ,he is just Lynch that is sucking you dry come on girl someone who loves doesn't hit you and plus you are the one supporting him yet he is grown man capable of taking care of himself." Jessica barks back

"He is rant , but he is sure his paintings will sell so he spends all day painting , but as soon as he gets money and opens his gallery we shall be earning millions ."

"How long has been feeding you these lies Holly, it has been year now, since he fed you all his lies don't you think he would have done something by now. my friend I beg you to open your eyes." Jessica said

No he is not and l love him please if want us to remain best friends don't bad mouth Axel to me We have work to do ." I defend Axel before heading to my office

There was lot of files to sort and back log to get through I worked for clearing agency my job ensuring all accounts were sorted and updated it was a lot of work for the little pay I got at the end of the month but at least it was something my boss was mean and cross expected nothing but absolute perfection or it would mean that you would end up being sucked the same day as your were hired

I went through my work and cleared all the pending debts with in the accounts before balancing the accounts by the time I was done it was 2:00pm and I panicked I heard forgotten that I had to cook for Axel he was going to be so mad at me I dropped everything to rush to the nearest restaurant to pick some already made food for him and take it home

When arrived it was 2:10pm and I knew Axel wouldn't be happy that brought his lunch late by 1 minute late alone ten but I hope he would understand me and accept my apology , when arrive Axel was furious and angry at me with his arms cross in the green couch but he took the food from me

Grabbing a plate from the kitchen counter he poured the food on to the plate he was about to eat it when he realized it was restaurant bought on realizing this he throws the plate of food in my direction and I ducked to avoid getting hurt the plate on impact shattered into a million peices

"How dare buy me already made food , I told you I only eat food cooked by you , so why did buy the food and for this your punishment is that you will eat that food you bought off the floor." Axel spat out venomously

"But honey their are pieces of a broken plate in the food , I cannot eat it ." I said pleading with Axel

"I told to eat the food, not the broken peices of the plate now eat it , " Axel said while he forced me to my knees he shoved my head to floor and forced me to eat the food until nothing was left. "Now was that so hard," he says looking down at me with my face completely covered and smeared in food that he forced me to eat

In that moment I hated Axel for what he had done to me then I remembered it was fault for giving him food I didn't cook am sorry love I say so that he doesn't leave me.

"It's fine babe just know I own you, ."Axel said chocking me before licking my face

"Yes my love ."

"Now clean it up you need to get back to work."

Once I finished cleaning up the mess I had made I took a shower and headed back to work place it was three O ' clock I was late and feared that I would be fired I reach my office and find Gavin the intern I had been training in my office chair with my things at door waiting for me my fear had become a reality all that was left to do was to plead for my job I run Mr Benson office to plead for my job knocking on door I enter once he lets me in

I find him by the fire place in his office shifting his eyes from his phone he walks back to his office table and that was never good sign

Mr Benson am sorry am late for work my lunch break took longer than I thought

"You know the rules Holly, your fired." Mr. Benson said pointing towards the door

"Sir I do but have been working here for year now , I can't loose this job it's my only source of income." I say pleading for mercy

"Well you should thought of that before coming late for work , I am sorry my hands are tied , you know here at K&N clearing agency we expect perfection and since you were late am sorry my hands tied." My boss Mr Benson said in a cold tone

"But sir I have given my all to this job please don't do this ." I plead with my boss for a second chance

"In that case you will do anything I tell you with no objections."Mr Benson said with a smirk on his face

"Yes sir , I won't be late again , just please don't fire me." I say still pleading with a furious mr Benson

"Ok come here." I walked foward to his desk he didn't waste time and started kissing me forcefully when I realized what his intentions where, I decided to make a run for the door , but he beats me to it and locks door behind him . Cutting away my escape route before turning his attention to me my heart was beating I was in full panic mode the idiot was planing on rapping me, God help me.
