MSL - Black and White

"Hi." Justin greeted me while I was busy helping my crew serve customers, even though I was technically the boss, but Christ taught me that leaders don't have to be arrogant. I've even seen a few times he's been pretty sweet to the workers or servants in his house, even when they make mistakes, so I learned a lot from him.

"Hi." I replied casually.

"You seem to be happy with that rich man." He said, and somehow I was still trying to be casual.

"Do I look like that?" I asked.

"How could it not? He gave everything for you," He said sarcastically.

"Any problem with you, Just?" I asked, putting down the cup in my hand.

"No." He shook his head, and suddenly Ze came to intercede with us. I might as well break that loser guy's nose if he dared to make any assumptions about me.

"Never mind, Justin has indeed been in a mess recently." Ze said.

"Oh . . ." I tried to calm myself down.

Ze watched until Justin left and she raised her eyebrows, then explained something she knew from her point of view, "Her parents divorced, her younger sister was caught by the police for a narcotics case and he was obsessed with you, while you fell in love with another man."

I crocheted my eyebrows. "How can you say that he is obsessed with me?" I asked.

Ze took a deep breath before she explained to me all she know, "He didn't say anything, I just accidentally saw may be a hundred picture of you filling the wall of his room while me and Evan were going to his apartment. He was heavily drunk and we drove him home."

I swallowed hard, "I feel threatened." I whispered.

"Justin's a good guy, trust me. It's just his obsession, he won't do something to hurt you. Who can fight Christopher Hudson anyway." Ze teased, and for some reason I smiled at it.

Ze look at me deeply, "You were really born into Cinderela." Ze said.

I rolled my eyes, "I'm not even sure this is real Ze." my answer.

"I saw the love in that man's eyes that is so great to you, don't make him disappointed." Ze tried to convince me.

"I hope so." My nod.

"I also went to the hospital with the others when you weren't in bed, but Christ assured that he would give us news at all times about your development. He just doesn't want others to know your condition at the time." Ze said.

"Yes, he never left me when I was dying." For some reason it felt sad to reminisce about that. "I had doubts about the man named Christopher Hudson, but when I talked to him at home, I saw worry in his eyes. He even seemed very chaotic at the time."

"I know." Ze nodded, "Hope you're happy." Ze gave me a hug and I became emotional to the point of almost crying.

"I can always count on you Ze, thank you for being my best friend." I said in trembeled voice.

Ze also reflected "He asked me to keep everything a secret from you, when he bought this place and with professionals working everything in a day until it was up and running. He prepared all this as a surprise for you, and it made me even admire your lover Bell. You seem to have found the best man on earth."

I'm sure my face turned red when Ze said it, I even admired the man even though I was now so close to him. I didn't find the slightest flaw in the man named Christoper Hudson.

Ze left me and I grabbed the phone from inside my apron pocket, then sent Christ a message.

"How should I repay all the kindness of your heart Uncle Christ" I teased him through a short text. My text has been read but not immediately replied to by him. Oh, that old handsome man, really frustrated me. With a sullen face I put my phone back in the pocket of the apron I was wearing.

Brrrttt brrrtttt

I received a short message from my phone as I was walking towards the table with two cups of coffee on the tray I was carrying. I smiled at the customers and told them to enjoy the time and coffee they ordered. After small talk I went back behind the bar counter and opened my phone.

"Prepare your best nightgown tonight and don't make a noise" That's a very naughty reply in my opinion, but he's really driving me crazy. Christopher Hudson.

"I'll use the money from the book summary you gave me to buy a nightgown, and be prepared for your defeat mala mini" I retorted, once again read and not immediately reciprocated. Maybe he was very busy in his office.

"Transaction success send USD 100,000 to Mss. Isabella Stuart" The reply from her came ten minutes later, and before I could reply, another short message came in.

"You can buy a nightgown as you like. I won't let you use your money, because from now on you're my responsibility" That's the second message from him.

"I'm not your wife" Write me and I send it.

"I'm very busy right now, we'll talk later" That's the last reply from him. Oh, this man is really driving me crazy. I want to talk to her as often as possible or be near her even flirting with her or if possible I want to her, but she, sometimes she's very spoiled, or very childish, sometimes very jealous and sometimes very busy. Christ, oh.

After lunchtime I chatted with Ze, although with the other crew I was also familiar but Ze was the closest person to me.

"Today I want to buy something."

"What?" Ze asked ignorantly.

"Em . . . Lingerie." I bit my lips at a glance.

"Oh shit!" Ze looked at me with narrowed eyes.

"You slept with him?" He asked.

"I fell in love with him." I admit it embarrassedly.

"You've really grown up now." Zevanya looked at me up and down.

"Don't look at me like that." My face flushed.

"I want to ask a lot of things about how he did it, but you definitely won't tell me about it." She said frustrated.

"You didn't even ask a little bit."

"Damn, you want me to ask?"

"Maybe I can tell you the outline."

"Oh SHIT!!!" She rolled her eyes. "I'll give you a look at you buy the best lingerie in town."

"We just met in the store, I have to see Bernard after work."

"You're dating him?"

"Of course, you think only you can do it?" Ze said, she made me shake my head in disbelief.

***

I locked the tavern, and today deliberately asked Christ to go straight home to his grandmother, although I was honestly already very embarrassed if until his grandmother caught us again or at least heard the voices of the two of us but right now there is no other place safer.

"Hey."

I gasped at the sound from behind me.

"Justin?" My eyebrows are hooked, isn't his sift over this afternoon, why did he appear in front of me this night? My hunch wasn't very good.

"What are you doing here so late?" I asked him strightly.

"I want to take you home." He said keeping his distance.

"I'll go home by myself, I promised Ze anyway."

"I'll take you to see Ze."

"I'm sorry Justin, but I want to go by myself." I left the man after locking the door of the tavern and hurried to walk quickly to find a crowded place so that this man could not mess with me.

As my pace accelerated, two men walked towards me.

"Shit!" I muttered to myself, this is obviously Justin's friends. I turned around and Justin walked towards me,, I was surrounded. Until they got closer I couldn't run anywhere, nor could I scream anymore because one of them immediately smothered my mouth. And two of them held my hand.

I struggled as much as I could, begging for mercy but they were really heinous. One of them directly tied my hands behind my back and tied my mouth.

Oh God what else is this, I just survived the madness of Lindsey Mc. Kurney who almost infuriated and now I was tied up in this state by three young men and one of them Justin, my own employee, a person who even had a chance to make friends.

Do I have to die in this way? Is the world this fair to me, when I just felt a sense of happiness rising in the morning, not even twenty hours I enjoyed it and now I have fallen into the hands of people who have no heart like them.

My tears melted as I tried to struggle and they dragged me firmly anyway. What's my power, I'm just a girl in this kind of dark night. I should have obeyed Christ to be picked up, but I turned him down on the grounds that I would go with Ze to buy lingerie.

When I was already very desperate and tired of struggling suddenly a very bright look of lights dazzled my eyes. It was the spotlight of the lights of a car. Someone got out of the car and ran towards us, followed by one more person behind him.

Justin let go of me and came forward to fight the two people who ran towards us assisted by two of his friends. I couldn't see clearly other than the fistfight that happened in my face like a play with silhouettes.

Just a few minutes and it was all over, Justin and his friends staggered and ran away screaming while one of the remaining two people came over to me, quickly untiing my hands and mouth ties. I realized the man was Christ as the car's light beam moved as the car moved as the car moved towards us.

I hugged Christ and cried in his arms. But Christ didn't let me out for too long, he immediately took me into the car.

Although I was still scared but I saw the corners of his lips bleeding.

"You're hurt." I whispered and Christ wouldn't let me touch his lips.

"Just a small injury." It is said. "Go straight home." Christ said, and the driver turned the wheel and the car whizzed away from the park, which had not too many lights, passing by my closed shop and heading for Christ's house.
