Chapter10

Down in a dark alley filled with dirt and garbage. The stench of a rotten substance wafts into the air.

The blaring sound of the cars racing in the cold and dark night couldn't hold back the tension around the two people facing each other.

Mona had tried to escape from the man some hours ago but he still caught up with her. Mona couldn't understand why an escort would be so brave as to look for her.

It's been three days yet his face was firmly etched in her memory. She could never mistake that face. But why was he after her suddenly?

She paid him handsomely and even added a huge tip for making her first time a memorable one. So much for being kind!

Mona braced herself to look into his eyes. Her heart began thumping loudly as she couldn't take her eyes off his sea blue eyes. She took. a quick glance at the muscular body with the shirt clinging to it.

Mona could see some part of his skin which was glistening like a newly refined pearl…actually the rain did justice to it too. His every step toward her makes her heart jump.

This man was the nemesis of her doomed life! Sadly, she still doesn't know his identity even after a steaming one night stand. If only she wasn't desperate to teach her scheming father a lesson.

She wasn't ready to lose her innocence and…life..all for a father that viewed her as a commodity, a cheap, invaluable one.

"What the hell do you want from me, Mister?" Mona scowled at him angrily.

"Who do you think you are to use me and dump me? Don't you think you should take responsibility?" A baritone voice rang out amidst the storm as the man drew closer to her.

Lester had an evil smirk on his handsome face and a dominating presence. Looking at the girl who wasn't afraid to talk back at him, he grew annoyed.

Seeing his frightful look, Mona thought he looked more like a dangerous man than an escort. But still, she couldn't contain her anger.

"What? I used you?", Mona shouted in anger.

How could he be so bold as to say she used him? He wasn't the one that lost his virginity!

Besides, her ears turned red at the thought of the night three days ago. He kept pounding her over and over again till the early hours of the morning. He didn't stop for a rest. He was like someone who was drugged.

Wait…could it be he was drugged too? But she only asked the bartender for a male escort for the night. Why would he give her a drugged escort? Was he unwilling? That could be the case too.

Even if he was drugged, why would he come to demand responsibility? Wasn't he just a mere escort? Besides, she paid him handsomely the next day.

"Who do you think you are? Did you forget your place or are you just playing dumb? Our deal is over! I even gave you a ridiculously handsome amount. Are you that greedy?"She regained her composure as she shouted at him.

She was so angry! How dare he? A mere escort threatening her. Even if she was the daughter of a pauper, she still had her pride, okay? Afterall, she paid him a few hundred dollars.

She knew how hard she worked to get that money. She was practically bleeding as she spent that money that morning. But because she was pleased with him, she forgot about it.

"Oh really? Am so scared! So feisty…but come to think of it, you weren't this feisty that night or were you?" His rich baritone voice rang out as butterflies kept playing in her stomach.

Why does this man have such an effect on her? He was just an escort but why does he look so manly and dominant? She shook her head to ward off those thoughts. Why would she be affected by an unknown man?

"Fuck off, you asshole", Mona cursed as she raised her leg to kick his crotch.

Lester was caught off guard as Mona's leg hit him hard before she ran away from him. Looking at the running rabbit, his face scrunched up in pain.

"Run…but I will surely get you!" Lester swore through the pain. He would surely teach her a lesson.

But why was it that she always get hit by his crotch? What's up with these girls? First, it was that girl at the bar and now it's a girl he had a one night stand with.

Great!

But there was one peculiar thing about them. They both had a unique type of scent that calmed his mind.

Lester wanted to follow her but his phone immediately rang. He stopped to see the caller and his face immediately looked like someone who was encountering a die-hard situation.

"Yes, grandpa. I will be coming over tomorrow. Don't worry, I will bring her with me too" Lester said over the phone before walking away.

************

Mona had no time to think, she had to get away from that stupid greedy escort. She regretted her actions that night though it was better than being sold to a stinky old man.

But now she was beginning to think she shouldn't have done it at all. What if he keeps tailing her all the time? Luckily, he doesn't know her or where she stays.

Mona desperately prayed that their part wouldn't cross again. She was going to pray about it.

Mona continued running through the rain until it turned to drizzles. As she ran, she remembered the steamy night together with the man and her cheeks turned red. So embarrassing!

Getting to Ella's apartment, she quickly ran to her room and slammed the door shut. She held her beating heart to calm her breathing.

The man looked too…noble for an escort. His air and the way he carries himself don't suit an escort. But she wondered why he was looking for her. He wants her to take responsibility. Who was he kidding?

Was he really an escort?
