His Choice Forever novel Chapter 17

This is an update but I have to make some corrections. I made a mistake. I wrote Beth was on a summer holiday but I'm writing with my phone so I accidentally pressed 'summer' and the valentine dress was a red dress. Yeah. Sorry about that. Just proofread it. That's the correction. Now on to the story.

I woke up the next morning and took a shower. Got ready for work and left my room when my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Mia? Mia?" Scott said breathless. I was really angry at him for standing me up.

"What" I said my voice flat.

"Don't come to work today. Your on a break. Don't come to work." He said and I frowned. I know I should be happy but the way he said it.... It sounded like he was scared. I think something's wrong.

"Why shouldn't I come to work?" I asked.

"Don't just come." He said, his voice getting authoritative. But what's wrong?.

"Bu-"

"Don't. Come. To. Work. Final" his voice flat and then he hung up. Well, he's not the boss of me really? You know what I mean. Still I'm going to work. I got ready for work and left. I reached the company and saw feli wasn't at the reception so I just proceeded upstairs. I reached our office and my eyes widened . The office was scattered. It was as if someone had robbed it or attacked it. Footsteps brought me back to reality. I was scared to turn back. What if its an armed robber. Oh god! I'm to young to die. And then the worst thing happened. The electricity went out making the office dark as the curtains were closed. The office looked like it was night with the curtains closed. The only light was brightening the place a little was the light coming from outside of the office. The footsteps approached closer and then I heard the door shut making me jolt up a little.

"Who's there?." The voice asked. It sounded familiar but I was too scared to think of the owner of the voice.

"Show yourself. Who are you?" The voice asked again. I didn't reply. I could see the silhouette coming closer but I was too scared to do anything. Don't just stand here. Run!" My subconscious yelled and I obeyed it. I ran and pushed the person and reached for the door but then he grabbed my hand and covered my mouth with the other hand.

"Who are you?!" He yelled a little and tears welled up in my eyes. I was too young too die. Who would take care of Beth. I never told Scott the truth about why I left. Oh god! Please I can't die now. I'm too young to die.

"Please don't kill me. I'm too young to die right now. I Still have my little sister to take care off. I've never had the experience of having a husband. Please don't kill me. I'm so you-"

"Mia?" The voice said and then I realized who's voice it was. Scott.

"Scott?" I asked and then fortunately, the electricity came back on and I turned to confirm who the person who scared the shit out of me was Scott and you know what? No surprise there. It was him.

"Mia. What are you doing here? I told you not to come to the office." He said angrily glaring at me which I also gladly returned.

"Who do you think you are huh? How dare you just scare me to death? Why did you do it?!!" I yell angrily at him.
