Pispa looked up at him nonplussed, she gulped nothing as her throat bobbled. Her eyes was flickering in anger, as she clenched onto her phone tightly.
She made to talk but had to swallow back her words, she hated that guy, ever since she met him, she felt miserable and humiliated.
Harzard's smile was cold, calculating. "You'll come with me, Pispa. You're mine now." he said, his voice dripping with charm.
Pispa scoffed. "You must be crazy." She muttered under her breath.
"Your boss said you are so stubborn and I'm so eager to see how stubborn you will be to take this offer." Hazard said.
Pispa rolled her eyes on him, folding her hands around her chest. "Well.. I can see how childish you are to discuss me with my boss." She said, Hazard arched his brows and still chuckled.
Vida swallowed nothing, he couldn't believe, someone could make Hazard crazy. Not only once but many times, just in few days he met Pispa and she was driving him insane.
"So what about my offer? Are you still going to work for me?"
"Never! I can't be with someone as evil as you, you deliberately made me to fail and now you want me to work for you? This is crazy. I'm out of here." Pispa said tugging her purse on her shoulder making some steps out.
"I heard he is your father. How about he pays for his daughter's sins?" Hazard said behind Pispa, as he raised his phone up displaying Pispa's father and she paused on her tracks, pivoting towards him.
Pispa's eyes felled on the video and her heart gave out a loud bang.
The video displaying, had her father in it.
His face was brutally crushed with punch and he was tied on a chair.
Really?
Pispa scuttled back to him, with fury blaring in her eyes, she snatched the phone forcibly from him to take a clearer view of the video.
Her breathes was increasing. Shaky and intimidating.
This guy in front of her is really pushing her—no. He is Just annoying her.
Why would he keep her father hostage? Does he know him? The agonizing goan from her father was driving her nut.
Okay..
Calm down a little... girl.
Pispa slowly looked up towards Hazard who had smug on his lips. He was just leaning on his car, so relaxed. "How the fuck did you get this?" She asked her breathes was shaking with anger.
Her eyes was sparkling in tears already, Hazard chuckled impishly, seeing that tears gleaming in her eyes is what he loved to see and that had soothed quarter of his anger—just a little bit.
Hazard chuckled mockery, leaning up from the car. Inserting his hands into his pockets. "i never knew that nincompoop was your father. I should..."
A very hot slap landed on Hazard's cheek and he widened his eyes in shock, likewise other men on black.
They were startled.
They swallowed nervously, puffing some air as they adjusted their tyes. Relaxing on their stance.
"Jesus.." Hazard whispered, in shock holding his cheek as the weight of the slap, shifted his off from his initial position. He felt his lips, checking if he was bleeding.
Sure.. he was bleeding
And..?
It stings like hell.
"Fuck you!! How dare you dickhead!" The tears in Pispa's eyes rolled off, and she wiped it immediately. "You should have come after me not my father!" Pispa yelled out in anger.
Hazard dropped his hand on his jawlines, staring hatefully at Pispa. He bite his lower lip.
"Is this how childish you could be? By tormenting my father?" Pispa said again, she shut her eyes, holding her temples thoughtfully.
She could feel her head banging. Her heart was racing in anger, for a while her eyes was shut as she tried to calculate on what next to do.
Her eyes slowly opened up. "Well... You got it wrong. I just figure out... I can't be someone so heart and callous like you!" She smashed the phone of the ground storming out, jostled through the hefty men. Crying.
What is she going to do?
They ain't got enough money.
Maybe to report to the damn stations. Police or radio station about her missing Dad.
Her mother and siblings might be running up and down about this. She held out her phone to call her mother.
Hazard who tried to get things straight, blinked his eyes in disarray. Maybe it was all in the dreams.
Buh..? One thing is so sure.
His cheeks had turned RED...
AND... It is stinging right now.
"Grab her." Hazard muttered slowly but his voice was icy and cold. It was dripping in frustration.
The men ran out but the first person regretted it.
A slap, got on his cheek before he could lay a finger on her.
Crazy Pispa.
Pispa tried sending another slap but, her hand was held in the air, she dragged to Hazard who was trying to regain her memory.
He felt humiliated the third time.
Isn't Pispa afraid of his damn face or what?
She struggles to free herself but got more entangled—she couldn't help herself. She is hating all of this.
All of this is so irritating.
"Get her in the car." He ordered.
"Never!" Pispa protested "I'm never going into that childish car__ Everything about you is so childish!" Pispa insisted standing on her ground, she doubled her weight not to be lifted.
Well.. she ain't quarter to compare to the hefty men, she was fling into the car immediately, the car zoomed out but she was screaming, Hazard ordered them to knock her out.
Pispa's heart sank as she realized she was trapped, at the mercy of a madman. But she refused to give up. She would find a way out, no matter what it took.
And she would make Harzard pay for what he had done.
Pispa vision became blur as everywhere became black.
*
Shirin took off her shoes at the doorway before walking into the room, she wore a flip-flops, heading into the room.
"Pispa, I'm home!" She screamed happily into the empty room but the silence echoed it back. There was not sign of Pispa.
"Are you sleeping already? I'm sorry I didn't come back on time.. we have a lot of customers." Shirin said gently, but there was no responses.
Shirin walked into the kitchen, nothing was on fire. Seemed like she hadn't come home, or perhaps she had.
But...
Everywhere looked exactly the way it was in the morning.
"Is she not home yet?" She thought heading out of the kitchen, Shirin was striding to Pispa's room, she could act crazy at times.
"I know I promise to return on time to help but.." Shirin pushed the door to Pispa's room and it was damned empty.
Shirin mouth hung in shock. "Pispa?" She whispered in panics. Her eyes scoured about the whole places.
Pispa should have returned home by now. She left so early...
Shirin rushed into her bathroom and the closet—Well.. it sound funny to search for her in the closet but.. it really worth it right now.
She isn't there.
Frantically, she fished out for her phone, dialing her number.
It was switched off.
"Gosh! Where could she be?" Shirin panicked, she swiftly dialed Mel's number and she picked at the second ring.
"What.. Mum. You know how busy I am right now." Mel said immediately.
"I'm sorry but... Pispa isn't home yet."
Mel sighed but not panicking. "I heard she failed, probably she might be feeling embittered." She shrugged.
"She sounded great when she came over the cafe and promised to prepare dinner but now I returned and found out she isn't home yet. Everywhere is so empty."
"C'mon, she might be back with her tricks again." Mel grunted.
"Is Dulcie with you?"
"Yeah.. but he left to drop a book."
"You both should just return home, we need to look for your sister." Shirin said and hung up.
A WORKSHOP
Mel dropped her phone, gathering her books as she stuffed them into her bag.
Dulcie walked in.
"What going on? Did mum find out we didn't go to lesson?"
"No. We gotta go." Mel said
The workshop wasn't the actual place they should be, she snuck into the place without the owner's contest.
Well.. it is owned by their friends.
They should be at the computer lesson room right now learning but..
They hate it.
Dulcie arched his brows. "Why?"
"Pispa isn't at home and remember she failed... you know how much she hates that. She might try to choke herself to death by now." Mel stuffed the last book into her bag.
"C'mon, who told you all of these?" He dropped on one of the seats.
"Mum.." Mel turned at him. "I'm off. You can return when, Leo must have find out we sneak in here." She sling the back on her shoulder and off she went.
Dulcie gave out an exaggerating sigh coming after his sister.
RONNIE APARTMENT
Ronnie stood at his drink rack, his mind was filled up with Pispa.
"That man is so heartless and Ruthless. He could harm her." He muttered to himself, the images of Pispa kept flashing in his memory.
The way she kept speaking back at him rudely gave him willies but he couldn't do anything.
He isn't sure if she knows Hazard too well.
Ronnie called Pispa's line again but this time, her phone was switched off, he ruffled his hairs, her crazy side was the reason he kept falling.
But actually now?
She had exceeded her limit, Ronnie picked his car keys rushing out, the Hem of his jacket collided with one of the glass wine on the table and it smashed on the ground, making the drink trailed awkwardly on the floor.
"Damn it!" He muttered as he rushed out without minding how cluttered it made the room.
*
Edwards was wonderfully tied on the chair, he was grunting painfully, he tried fathoming what's happening but couldn't.
The only thing he remembered was stepping out of the car and got hit from behind and.. his vision became blurry.
Now he woke up in this unfamiliar room? With some fucking heaps of hefty men? And additional to it, all of his body were tied up to the chair and aching.
"Awake already?" A voice sound beside him and he slowly looked up at him, he blicked but didn't say anything.
"I will inform him, you are awake." The guard added bringing out his phone to dial a number.
*
Shirin was at the bus station waiting patiently for the twins, she constantly check her phone to see if Pispa or her husband would call back but they didn't.
"Lord. Please save my daughter and husband." She prayed silently.
Soon, Dulcie and Mel alighted from the bus headed towards Shirin. "Mum, she haven't returned yet?" Mel breathed. Her voice was laced with fear.
Shirin nodded. "You Dad's phone isn't connecting as well."
"Remember Dad could be in a meeting, so let's forget at him and think about crazy Pispa." Mel said.
"But why all of a sudden? I mean their phone is switched off and we can't reach them?" Shirin quivered.
"I think we should report to the Police." Dulcie suggested.
"How could that skip my mind." Shirin slapped her head lightly. "Let's go." She turned to the kids.
"But mum, Dad left for a business trip."
"Then we report Pispa's missing. She couldn't be out there.."
"What if..." Mel paused looking up at them quietly.
Dulcie pouted, raising his brows up questioningly. "What if what?"
"What if she visit one of her friends and decided to take a break from us.. you know Pispa could be secretive at time, she tried bearing the pains alone without letting anyone meddling."
"You think so?" Shirin at he'd her brows, Mel words might be convincing.
Mel nodded assuredly, Dulcie exhaled as he brushed back his hairs, dripping back his hands into his pockets.
"I still don't believe Pispa could do such." Dulcie protested.
"Remember when she failed her bar exam, she didn't return home but the next day, so there is a great chance she is somewhere sulking." Mel encapsulated.
"C'mon, Mel stop making this difficult" Dulcie exhaled.
Shirin swallowed back her spit, Mel was right, Pispa is the kind of person who could forge being alright when she failed but at the same time spend her days at God knows where and return the next day when her anger must have soothed.
"I think.. Mel is right." Shirin sighed. "We should give her some space till tomorrow.. let's go home." She added.
"But Mum.."
"Let's go Dul.. she will be fine." Shirin assured Dulcie, patting his back and he shrugged with a heavy sigh.
"I hope she will be alright."
*
Hazard banged on the table for the hundredths time in the room, he was holding himself so firmly not to hit the full length mirror in front of him as he watched his reflection.
His anger was boiling as his heart aches in pains.
His bruised cheeks was adding to the anger. Her little hand just did wonders on his right cheeks. It left something there.
Maybe a forever stigma.
He gritted his teeth as he lean over in front of the mirror.
He was shirtless. His body was sweaty as it outshined his dangerous large scorpion tattooed on his chest.
Like someone under manipulation, he picked a kitchen knife rushing out of the room.
He strode towards the torture room, every steps he was making goes with a deadly countdowns. Dart of anger flickers in his eyes.
He pushed the door of the room open, revealing, Pispa, she was still unconscious, her face was covered with black clothes. Her hands were tied in a spread-out position. Her head was leaning forth as her hairs Cascaded down to her neck, she was dangling on the rope.
Hazard stood as he watched her for a while with fury in his eyes, the knife in his hand was vibrating, he felt like jabbing in the sharp knife in stomach to end things so quick but hey...
He still have large plans for her.
He roughly untied the black clothes, from her face but she hadn't waken, Hazard slowly cut in the knife into her arm and pulled and blood dripped off and he watched her still unconscious.
He kept dragging down the knife on her arm and slowly, as if he wanted to pin in the pains in there.
Pispa fluttered her eyes open.
Everything was still blurry, she blinked her eyes twice to figure out what was happening.
But…. She is still feeling dizzy.
"Gosh it hurts." She splurred weakly, she was feeling the pains but didn't know what is going on, like she was on a trance. She shut her eyes again.
Hazard licked his lips furiously and turned the knife towards her other arm and jabbed into it immediately and Pispa moaned out subconsciously.
"Aaagh.. it hurts." She muttered meekly, as she shook her head. Opening it immediately, the pains had surged in, the blood was trailing down. With her head down.
The memories of all that happened rushed into her head. Her eyes went widely opened and she went gaga when there was trace of blood on the floor, her cloth had gone a little ripped.
Pispa was nonplussed to see Hazard shirtless and he was sweaty.
Was she raped by... Him?
No. Never!!!
"You bloody devil. What have you done to me? Hope you didn't fucking raped me?" Pispa taunted as she tried using her hand but got pulled back and she looked sideways only to realized she was tied.
Hazard smiled lopsidedly, folding his hands, that ignited the anger in Pispa's face.
Her mind hadn't gone to her arms, she was strictly on the blood on the ground and not ready to believe he ripped her arms.
She was scared and afraid that he might rape her.
He could be a manic.
"I'm going to rip your neck you scoundrel." Pispa yelled, she struggled to release her hands but couldn't. "I didn't do any wrong why are you doing this to me? Huh?" She added in pains. "Why are you fucking doing this?"
Pispa was mean to cry, she wasn't sure if he raped her but the blood and her ripped clothes says it all.
Ugh!
Well.. but she ain't feeling any pains in between. Maybe he didn't do anything, he was trying to see what she could do right?
Hazard did say a thing, he kept watching her.
Well.. he was quite amaze.
"Hope you have release my father?" She said again, the tears was trying to betray her but she was holding in. "You better lose this." She yelled again not minding his vitriolic gaze on her.
Hazard clenched his fist, "You think, I'm a joke?" His voice sounded husky. Looming in venoms. "You I'll continue being my hostage till you work for me. Unless that, you and your stupid father will continue to suffer." He walked closer to her.
"My father isn't stupid." Pispa protested.
Hazard laughed mockery. "I can't wait to watch you cry begging for mercy." He whispered, watching her volubly as he trail his hands on her jawline.
Pispa was breathing heavily as she watched his hand trail from her jaw to her neck, his hot breathes was trickling her neck and ears, she was feeling uncomfortable.
"C.. can you step a bit away from me. You reek." Pispa taunted. His hand stopped half way to her chest.
"What did you say?" Hazard growled, her feisty voice added to his exasperation, he thought she would be begging for mercy right now but no.
She aren't.
She is truly stubborn like Ronnie had say but he would tame her in his own way.
Pispa tried to quell her laughter when she saw how embittered he was.
He was juddering.
"You are quite interesting and your boss was right. You are so vociferous." Hazard smirked.
"Sure. I am." Pispa mouthed sarcastically with a crazy grin. The blood on the corner of her mouth could be discerned.
"Let's see if it will last." Hazard picked his phone receiving a call.
"He is awake?" He paused listening at the end of the phone. His eyes traveled to Pispa who was listening as well.
Pispa raised her brows in shock.
"Inject him another plenty of cannabis. He needs it" Hazard said. "His daughter is playing hard to get." He added.
"What's going on? That's not my father right?" Pispa asked. Her voice wasn't steady, she had fear dripping in her eyes.
"Sure, that's your stupid father. I told you he will continue to suffer, until you agree to work for me."
"Hey. This is cruel right? My dad is fucking innocent! Don't stuff him with anything okay, you animal!" Pispa hollered. Her hairs had dropped overly on her face due to her way of screaming.
Furious. infuriation and fury.
Name it.
Hazard chuckled devilishly. "Beg me."
"What?" Pispa whispered in shock as she watched him, her brows had narrowed as she looked in the eyes of the devil who wanted to frustrate her life.
"Beg me Ms. Sassy." Hazard said with an evil leer.
Well.. his smiles was irritating and annoying too.
He wants to wreck her.
But..?
She is just wrecked.
