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 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.
