Irresistible Invitations

“Okay so here goes nothing” I mustered up the courage within me as we came to a halt before a huge mansion.

“Damn! They are rich” I thought as I looked towards the white mansion when we passed the main gate. The guards bowing in respect to Zachary who just raises his hand and gave a curt nod in response.

I began to fidget with my fingers as I felt the bile rising inside me.

“What now?” I thought.

Maybe as he said earlier his parents live here. That means they too have an idea about his business. More precisely underworld business.

I gulped at the thought that maybe they are too connected with the sinful business as he is and possibly the huge mansion before me is the result of their not so hardworking. My eyelashes began to flutter and shockingly every time they fluttered the white paint of the mansion looked red to my eyes. Probably my thoughts of thinking them as criminal.

I wonder what his parents really look like.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I find a dangerous looking man with few scar marks on his face and a cold personality standing next to him as Zachary’s parents.

The more we got closer towards the mansion the more wildly my heart beat began to rise and certainly it raise so much that I was able to hear my own heart beat. Anxiety was piling up inside me with full force. The only I wanted was a...

The car stopped before the entrance of the mansion and a man came to open the door of our car for us. Zachary was first to get out.

I kept sitting not moving. It wasn’t as if I could move or something because I was frozen. My legs and hands were cold and shaking due to anxiety building inside me. The soles of my shoes suddenly felt wet due to sweating.

“Come out” Zachary said as he looked inside the car towards me.

I shifted on my position and crawled towards the opened door to get out. As soon as my feet touched the ground I shivered due to chilled air. My legs wobbled and I held onto the car’s door to lift myself up.

“What’s wrong with you now?” Zachary asked and somewhat for a mere second I thought that perhaps he was being worried about me but immediately I was proven wrong.

“Don’t think that I’m going to carry you. You are heavy” he said and I swear to God
