Words that Cuts
Emily’s POV
I was sitting on the stool chair in front of the bar counter when a man sat beside me. I turned to him and he stared at me knowingly before he nodded and walked away.
I immediately followed him to the VIP room of this bar and locked the door.
We made it look like we’re hooking up, so even if someone’s watching, no suspicions would arise.
He bowed his head. I’m at your service, Miss. What do you want me to do?”
He was my dad’s loyal butler. When dad was forced to leave the mafia organization because of his condition, his loyal men departed and separated ways but they left their contact and now I need them.
I lifted my chin. “I need you to find someone and investigate someone.”
He nodded. “I just need the name, Miss.”
I handed him the piece of paper where I wrote Matt, Attorney Lee and Connor Foster’s name. He immediately accepted and read it.
“I’ll do everything I can do, Miss.”
“Stay for two more hours,” I said when he bowed, asking permission to leave.
I pointed at the table. “Eat and drink for now. We can’t leave immediately. There might be someone watching us.”
He nodded and sat on the couch, I sat on the single couch across from him and took my phone out.
I scrolled and sighed when I reached Matt’s contact number. Why did I even open my contacts?
I exited the contact and opened the message. My lips parted after I saw Matt’s texts.
‘Good morning, sunshine!‘
*No reply?”
‘Good evening, Miss!”
‘I saw your post. Why are you in a bar again?”
‘I’m gonna pick you up.”
‘Where are you? Did you leave?
‘Are you avoiding me?”
‘I’ll bring my clothes to your condo.”
“Are we okay? Did I do something you don’t like?”
‘Em… I miss you…
I
I clenched my jaws and massaged the bridge of my nose.
I exited the messages and threw my phone on the couch beside me.
1 miss him and it’s making me crazy. I don’t remember how and why I ended up liking him but I can no longer stop it. There’s no way to redeem myself now that I have unknowingly given him my all.
He didn’t own just my body. He managed to conquer my heart and soul too.
Matt Foster, what did you do to me?
I lost track of time, I just realized I fell asleep and four hours had passed already. My dad’s butler was still sitting on the couch, scrolling on his phone.
When he saw me moving, he immediately sat properly and that’s when I realized he waited for me to
wake up.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered. “You go ahead.”
He just nodded and pulled himself up. I got off the couch too. I didn’t have time to fix myself. I just brushed my hair using my fingers as he opened the doar and left.
I pulled my skirt down and was about to leave when someone entered the VIP room. He went straight to me, grabbed my wrist and angrily pushed me onto the couch.
His eyes were blazing and his jaws were clenching.
“What the hell is your problem?!” I growled at him.
“Where is my brother?”
I laughed sarcastically. “I don’t know. Why are you asking me?”
I flinched when he gripped my wrists tighter and pinned me to the couch. He was on top of me. The cross pendant of his necklace touched my chest.
“My brother is out of reach. He’s missing. Is that why you’re fcking another man, huh?”
My forehead creased. “What is it to you?”
“You whore! I don’t know why my brother likes you when clearly, you are just a dirty whore who would willingly open her legs to anyone who’s itching to fck!”
