The Billionaire...?

My first night at the huge mansion was great. I slept well and I woke up full of energy, which was weird. I didn’t think I would actually want to get out of bed and go explore the house.

I stretched my arms around and yawned loudly. My eyes scanned through the whole room and I saw some pretty awesome stuff I didn’t realize were even there. A bit flat screen TV, probably a Play Station, a mini bar, a bed in the center of the room and a lot of magazines.

There was a door in the corner and I, being curious, wanted to open it. So I tried.

But it was locked.

Damn it.

I turned around in disappointment and hit my poor nose into a wall. I don’t remember a wall being right behind me. Does this house magically move walls around?

“Why did you try opening the door?” the wall suddenly started speaking. I think this is a dream, things that don’t have a heartbeat can’t talk or breathe or eat or drink or-

“Alison, why did you try opening the door?” I opened my eyes after rubbing my poor nose and saw Andy’s black tie in front of me. I had to lift my head up a bit to meet his blue orbs and I smiled innocently, with slight fear behind the smile. “Uh, I was just, um… I think I need to eat. Bye!” I blabber out and try moving around him, but he caught me in a swift move.
I was frozen in my spot, couldn’t move anywhere. He leaned next to my ear and I could feel his breath inches close to my skin. “Never try that again.”

With those words he exited the room and I was still in my frozen spot. The way he whispered made my little hair stand up and it made me go all KABOOM! I was thinking about having friend chicken for breakfast. Weird, right? As I entered the hall way, I smelled the awful smell of pancakes.

Keyword: AWFUL.

I never hated pancakes, why do they stink so bad?! Mr. or Mrs. Biersack-Montgomery, you are making me hate myself for hating the food I loved. I’m going to pay you back one day.

Before even stepping into the kitchen, I ran back to my room and got out some clothes from my suitcase. I still haven’t really unpacked. I dressed in black leggings and a loose shirt. My little feet were covered in comfortable vans and I put on a jacket.

My plan was to go out and eat somewhere else. I picked up my phone and dialed Ian’s phone number, waiting for him to answer. “Hey, Coconut!” he answered. “Hi, Paperclip. Are you free now?”

“Alison, I don’t know about you, but I have class. By the way, where were you during English 101?” he asked. I was confused for a few seconds and replied back, “What do you mean? Class starts in an hour, doesn’t it?”
“Ali, it’s eleven. You missed three classes.”
Shit. Fucking unicorn sparkles. I missed my schedule. Fuck.

“Oh gosh… I… oh my god, I can’t believe I missed my classes. Shit…”
“Well, be prepared to hear some from professor Jackson. He won’t be happy to see you weren’t there today. If you need anyone to hang with, Jess is free for the next three hours, I can tell her where you wanna meet her,” he speaks and I heard a crowd of people in the background.
“Sure, thanks. Tell her I’ll be waiting at Burger King,” I sigh and smile weakly. “Alright. Enjoy your free day, Coconut.”
“Thanks, bye Paperclip.”
I groan and rub my eyes again then walk downstairs. “Andrew? I’m going to meet some friends. Can I borrow your SUV or…?” I call out and stop when I see him in the living room with some people, all dressed in black. “Um…”

“Alison?” Andy speaks surprised and excuses himself from the men and walks towards me. “Is there anything you need?” he whispered. “Yeah, I’m going to meet Jessica, can I borrow your SUV? By the way, why are we whispering?”
“You can go, if anything bad happens just call me. I put my number in your new phone, it’s in your purse. You’re welcome though,” he whispered back and kissed my forehead then walked back to talk with those men. They all looked creepy, around thirty years old but in very good shape.
I walked to the garage through the backyard and took the SUV car keys. Now that we talk about cars, he had a big collection of them. He had a Ferrari, a Jaguar, Lexus, Alpha Romeo… really nice cars.

As I drove out of the garage, I noticed two of Andy’s men followed me. Probably Andrew’s orders, he wouldn’t let me go anywhere alone. I was also scared of driving his car, I was scared I’d get a scratch on it.

Jess was waiting for me, sitting at a table for two and I rushed towards her quickly. “Hey girl,” I smile. “Hi, Alison. So, what can I go order for us?” she asked and put down her mobile phone. “You choose, I’m up for anything. I was bored and I just wanted to meet up with someone.”

“I was also bored, I’m glad Ian told me you were up for some fun. I will be right back, I’ll just go place our orders,” Jess stands up and walks to the first employee she finds. “So, you are the famous Alison?” a deep voice says and it wasn’t pleasant.
I looked up to meet the eyes of the stranger. “U-Um, y-yes, that’s me. W-Who are you?” I ask, trying to put up a fearless smile. “Oh, that doesn’t matter. I am just here to warn you. You never know what might happen to you, or the future heir to Andrew’s company.”

“How do you know about this?” I ask wide eyed. “I have connections. I have to go, but remember what I told you. You never know what might happen.”
The mysterious man exited through the glass door and it was just in time when Jessica came back. “Hey, is something wrong?” she snapped her fingers in front of me and I came out of trans. “Y-Yeah I’m ok. Um, what did you do today at class?”

As she turned to the topic, I was still blocked by the man. He occupied my thoughts in a very bad way, I couldn’t think straight. I pretended to listen to Jess, but I hardly followed her words. All I saw were her lips moving.

We went apart two hours later. She had an emergency to attend and I went back to Andrew’s house. His men following me again, but I don’t know where they were while that creepy man was talking to me.

“Alison, you’re back!” Andy lets out a deep breath and puts his hands on my shoulders. “Why, what’s wrong?” I ask in panic. “I was worried, my men couldn’t find you anywhere and they followed you back home when they saw you driving.”
“Wait, where were they? I didn’t see them either,” I peek behind his back to see if anyone else was in the room besides us. “They said you disappeared, they went looking for you.”
No, that’s not possible, I didn’t disappear, they were just behind me! “I… I’m ok now, aren’t I?” I make an unsuccessful smile and look down. “Yeah, that’s what matters. That you are ok now. Go upstairs and do something, I’ll be right up.”

As I walked towards the stairs, I heard someone talking in the washroom. The door was slightly open and I could hear everything, even the voice from the phone. “Sir, she just came back. Did you manage to talk with her?” a male voice asks. “Yes, I talked with her. Great job lying to Mr. Biersack about losing her. Make sure he doesn’t lose your trust.”

I gasped quietly and quickly walked upstairs before the voice could see me and notice I was listening to their conversation. I ran towards the bedroom and locked the door just in case he tried following me.

After a few moments of silence and deep breaths, I started processing everything that has happened. And it came to an end that I was in danger. Andy, me and my baby were in danger even though the staff was made of people Andrew trusted.

Those sick ass traitors.
