episode 3

" Ellerick Jenson. "

He stared behind him and found his father.

" ...What is it dad? "

He replied before getting another shot from his glass.

" Congratulations to your successful business launching. "

After approaching his son, he stands beside him and taps his shoulder while they both stare at the night view of the city outside of the building.

" It's really great my son. " He added.

" I'm so proud of you. My sole heir of my legacy. "

" Maybe the only thing that I'm hoping for now, is for you to be happy. "

A man's smile shrinks his eyes as he speaks.

" What do you mean dad?, just get into the point. "

He replied without blinking.

" Your sweet father is already impressed by you, son. Maybe it should be the time for you to get married. You know Alfred's daughter she- "

" I'm not thinking about it yet dad. "

Replied while his pure amber eyes kept away from looking at his father and still staring outside.

" Right. I understand, but I hope you won't let me wait until I die or am too old to even carry my own grandson. "

He replied with a smile on his face.

" You're still young to think that. "

He said while his poker face was still displayed.

The point of view of them from the outside of the building slowly furthers away as they keep chatting.

Two days later, at her office hour. the taps and clicks on her computer is the only sound she's making.

" Stella it's break time. Come with us, let's take our coffee break. "

That one man from three of her co-workers invites while approaching.

" ...uh I think you guys can go ahead first. I'm trying to finish this load on me first. "

She said while tidying papers on her desktop.

" Geez what a workaholic you are... Right then, good luck with that we'll go now. "

Turned down, others teased him at the back.

" I told you she's not it "

" Damn you waste some of my break time"

" Shut up she can hear you "

" But I agree she's cute as - "

The fading conversation by those three co-workers as they get away from the office.

Stella sighs as she rest her bum on her seat. She has long beautiful straight black hair, her rossy lips paired with the small shape of her face is very appealing. It suits her bunny teeth that she has every time she smiles. She looks neat and presentable in every office outfit she wears.

She lays her back on the desk chair, starts checking her phone and her eyes instantly widened.

" Oh my fudge! I have an assessment and future interview with the cozmo company! "

She joyfully concealed her scream while reading further to the details from her email. She began to mark down her calendar on the said date of the appointment.

It's within this week, I'm so happy!!! She continued her thoughts. Guess I'll be eating something good with Shelly tonight! She added.

Later that night. Over Eleven o'clock on the street, walking and laughing with her friend after a great time eating their dinner. A group of men approached Stella and Shelly. Acting like a thug, Stella's instinct knew it's gonna be a problem. One of them asked.

" Hey beauties why are you walking alone this hour? Ain't your bfs gets ya ass? We can take you guys home you know? Hehehe "

" Yeah! we'll make sure to send you where ya like! "

One of the thugs said after jumping in front of them.

Shelly grip onto Stella's arm firmly out of nervousness. Stella on the other hand is trying her best to be calm and avoid panic.

One... Two... Five... There are five of them here... Stella's thought as she is figuring out what to do.

She glanced at Shelly who's really scared beside her at the moment.

" We're sorry to decline your invitation but my boyfriend is on the way here now to pick us up. "

Sweaty while talking, Stella tried her best to keep her cool.

" Huh!... That's bad then sweetie, since you're the only one who has a man, how about you leave this one over here so we can... Send her home. "

That one who gets near Shelly and touches her hair.

Creeps crawl down into her spine. With teary-eyed Shelly closed her eyes.

From a distance Stella saw a tall guy from behind those men.

" Ah!... Oh honey! Honey! Over here! "

Surprised by her sudden shout all men stared behind them.

And in the blink of an eye, Stella dragged her friend out to run. They almost outrun those five men but Stella knows they'll get caught sooner before they get any further. So she asked Shelly to run on a different route. She presented her self to lead the men astray in return for Shelly to call for help.

As Shelly is able to run into some slightly crowded place she keeps screaming for help.

Concurrently, Stella is running for her life when she turns to the last alley ahead but finds self trapped on a dead end. It's not so long when they catch up with her either.

" That's a really cheeky stunt you have there sweetie. "

The creepy guy with a spike hair style said.

" Since, you let ya friend go, you should take responsibility with all of us instead. "

" Don't worry we'll make sure to send you to heaven before we let you rest. Hah! Rest... In fucking peace! "

Said while slowly approaching her.

Stella closed her eyes as she prepared her self to be hit by one of them. She wishes those men to be eaten by the ground, she can't help but curl up on the corner.

Then suddenly an intense thud sound dropped into the ground.

A man grabbed her arm as she tried to use it as a shield to her face.

" No! Don't touch me! Don't touch me! please!! "

She said while fighting the gripping hands on her.

" It's okay miss don't be afraid. "

A man in front of her said. She slowly opened her eyes and found the men all laying on the ground.
