Marriage and Annulment

“You get in the car first, and I’ll follow,” I instructed.

I’m extremely nervous. After Luciana left, I hid in the middle of the crowd. They’re all six, and I can see that the fibers in their faces aren’t working properly. Because I was already scared, I walked slowly out of the bar. Even in the dead of night, I perspired profusely. As I walked past the two bouncers, I smiled broadly. I was about to get into my car when I heard a male voice call out to me.

“Excuse me for a moment,” he said. I didn’t go back. Because he could have been one of the men with the man who had suddenly kissed my neck earlier. It moved to my side. As I looked at it, I breathed a sigh of relief. It was one of the bouncers from the bar. “Why?” I’ll inquire.

Someone is searching for you on the inside, Ma’am. “He claimed to be your friend,” he says. My brows furrowed, and I had a bad feeling. “Are you sure I’m the one he’s looking for?”  ” I asked once more. “Yes, ma’am,” he replied, “he pointed you out here earlier.” “He has a bad plan,” I said as I approached him, and he backed away an inch. “Are you certain?” he asked, and I nodded. “All right, go ahead; I’ll take care of it,” he said as he walked away from me.

After locking the door, I went inside and started the car. I drove quickly so that we could get to the bar house. They were all quiet in the background, I noticed. They were all perspiring as a result of their dancing. “Breathe, girls, and get yourself together. It’s  look like ten men raped all of you tonight,” I said.  They were all laughing.

“I wouldn’t have known your talents if I hadn’t thought of including you tonight, like your horses out of the stable. ” I said, and they all looked at me with a frown. “We just didn’t have time to dance, Miss Zaneska,” Lazzy explained. “Because when there is a festival in our province, we are always present there,” he said, smiling.

“Our captain will conduct a disco during the fiesta.” She said it again.

“Is that so?” I ask.

“Yes, but when you go there you won’t last long because you’re not used to living hard.” said Luciana.

She is right; my whole life was surrounded by great things.

“You know what, Miss, we are thankful to you all these years since our lives have become nice and beautiful since you became our boss. We could find some expensive things if we wanted, since we have nice wages that you gave us. And we gave our family a better life also. Mina says, seriously.

“All of you deserve better treatment since you became my companions all these years.” My response.

I suddenly fell silent as I noticed a black Honda Civic that seemed to be following us. And it is impossible for someone else to drive the car. We were already on the highway and no other vehicle passed except us and the vehicle that followed.

“Hold on tight, girls.” I told them.

“Why, Miss?” Luciana asked.

“Don’t ask too many questions as long as you just follow what I said.” I told them all.

I grabbed the steering wheel of the car and drove it fast. I’ve been sweating a lot. I don’t know if I’m really the one they’re following or if I’m just too paranoid. But the car was still in the back, continuing to follow us. I turned the car into an abandoned building owned by my godfather, who migrated to the States. I let the car into the building. I stretched out my two hands because they seemed swollen. I leaned back in the car seat and took a deep breath. I saw Luciana gasping in the background.

” All of you are okay back there?” I asked them. They all nodded. “Who are they, Miss? We’re really being chased. ” Luciana asked.

“I don’t know what they need.” was my answer.

I looked at the time on my watch. It’s eleven o’clock in the evening.

I grabbed my head because my eye suddenly hurt. The doctor told me when I checked in that I was not allowed to stay awake. What if we came out and they were already outside and blocking us? We are all ten, but based on our strength compared to them, I know it is still not enough. I started the car again and drove out of the building. I looked around first. If a vehicle is blocked I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw nothing. I was too young to be dead. I can’t even remember that I hurt someone. I have no recollection of hurting someone for my own sake. When it comes to money, All those who work for me have a good salary from me. I parked the car on the way to my house. We have finally arrived too. Mina went out to open the gate of the house. I got the car inside. I got out of the car and they all followed. I went up to my room and took off my clothes. and went into the bathroom to take a half bath. When I started to take a shower, I washed my whole body thoroughly to remove the sweat. I closed the shower. and came out of the bathroom. I was looking for a nightgown to wear. I was now in bed lying down. I don’t want to think about what could possibly be the reason why I was being chased earlier. because I can’t get an answer. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. The next day, the sun was high when I woke up. I frowned because I knew Randolf was looking for me now. It lost itself again when I hadn’t arrived yet. I got my phone in my bag only to find out that it was off.

I opened my phone. And I received many calls and texts from Randolf, indicating that he was asking where I was. I rolled my eyes. Sometimes I wonder what the true gender of this Randolf is. It doesn’t seem like a man because it’s easy to be scared. I sent him a message, and I said I was on my way. Then I got out of bed. I took a shower and got dressed. I went downstairs while carrying my newly bought bag. I found Luciana in the living room of the house.

“You’re not going to eat?” it asked me.

“No, Luciana, I’m too late to go to the office.” was my answer.

It nodded, and walked out of the house. I’ll get in the car and drive away from the house. I am always looking at my watch. And it’s nine o’clock in the morning. Shit! I’m so late. Why did I forget to set my alarm clock? If I hadn’t decided to go to the city yesterday night. Maybe I’m not becoming late right now. Then Later on, I was stuck in the traffic on the Edsa. I forgot that if I travel late in the city, It might catch up with the traffic.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

I honked my car. It was as if the others had stepped aside so that I could pass, but the traffic was heavy. I feel like I’m deaf to different sounds. Then suddenly, there was a bump in the back of my car. It was as if my brain was shaken by the excessive impact of the crash. I looked away and seemed to smoke my nose in anger because I knew the back of my car had really broken. The traffic enforcer knocked on my door. “Ma’am, the back of your car is broken,” said the man.

“I know.” I answered him with a frown.

I get the bag and the keys inside the car. And I threw the key at the traffic enforcer. He caught it while wondering.

“It’s up to you to sort out the mess. I’m in a hurry,” I told him.

I left him stunned and ran over to the front. I traced the side of the establishments toward my company. Two hours had passed when I arrived at the company. I opened the door and sat down in my chair. It was as if I had lost my breath because of the distance I had walked. Randolf gave me water and a handkerchief.

“Thank you, Randolf,” I told him.
