IT'S JUST A CONTRACT

Alyssa's POV🍀

"ugh...I can't believe you dragged me into this mess dad"I grunt as I stuff my last belonging into a box

"I'm sorry darling,I really didn't mean for this to happen"

I walk across my room from the box and grab a tape off the nightstand and say

"I mean, why didn't you just pay off your debt when you'd made it big...it couldn't have been that hard"

"I'm sorry darling,I was being a selfish dick. I got greedy and even more convinced I could avoid paying after I heard thier boss was at the verge of dying"

I tape the final box as my dad walks over to me taking my hands in his and saying;

"I promise to find a way to get you out of this, I'll do anything in my power I'll even try begging her, anything at all as long as I get you out of this."

I open my mouth to speak but get cut off

"This is my problem, what kind of father would I be getting my daughter into trouble like this"

I squeeze his hand and finally say

"Dad I'm fine, really. You don't have to worry I'll take care of things from here, Okay?"

He says nothing so I say...

"Dad?!!"

"I can't just sit back and do nothing when I'm the one who got you into this in the first place"

"I feel so much more relieved and at ease knowing you're safe, So please promise me you'll stay away from her"

He keeps silent for a few seconds so I raise my brow and tilt my head a bit with a pout,he sighs and finally responds

"Fine. But don't forget to call me everyday and fill me in on how things are going so I know you're okay"

"I think everyday is a bit too much"

"No it's not" He says with furrowed brows

"I'll call you as often as I can, and you know where I work so drop by if you ever feel like seeing me"I respond with a big smile.

He eases his brows letting go of my hand and pulling me into a bear hug.

"I'm really sorry about all this lyss"

"It's fine dad"I say as I pull away from him and wipe a away the stray tear drops that had escaped his eyes.

"Now get back to work, I'm going to finish up here and prepare dinner myself tonight"

He smiles and kisses my forehead before leaving. Once he's gone I take a deep breath and sit down, staring at all the boxes.

'I reaallllyyyy need to find a way out of this mess'

💮

Zailah's POV🍁

I pick up the company phone and dail Mr Kris office, he picks up almost immediately.

"Kris can you get me information on Ms. Alyssa Brooks"

"Can I ask for specifics on what kind of information you need ma'am"

"Anything you can find. Family background,childhood history,education,friends,jobs(Past and present),hobbies and even favorite things. Anything and everything you can possibly dig up."

"Yes ma'am, I'd get right to it"

"Thank you Kris"I say and hang up.

Kris is my right hand guy, he's the only son of Mr Blue who was father's right hand man too. Kris could literally find anyone and anything. He's just that good. He's also my only friend. After father adopted me, he was the only one around my age and the only one who didn't treat me like trash or make me feel the need to always be on my toes. So yeah, he's just that good.

Next I call my house keeper and ask her to clean up the room opposite mine, but since I don't know what Alyssa's taste is for now, we'll have to suspend redecoration till I have more info on her.

'Alyssa Brooks'i think with a smirk and scoff. I'm really eager to see how things turn out from here on out.

🌸Sunday; 6:30pm🌸

Alyssa's POV

As I drag my box out the front door of my apartment and see her(whatever her name was)It takes all the will power in me not to scoff and roll my eyes. I fake a smile making sure she's aware that it's fake and say

"Ms..."

"Zailah Kings but call me zailah"

"Ms. Zailah, You didn't have to come all the way here yourself. I mean isn't it bothersome?" Honestly I meant more bothersome for me than I meant for her

"You don't need to worry about that Alyssa,I can call you that right?"

I take a mental deep breath and say

"Sure Ms. zailah"

"Just zailah would suffice"

I squint my eyes and smile even wider

"Anyways it was my pleasure coming to pick you up myself and it definitely isn't bothersome"She continues with a smile. I say nothing so she continues.

"Shall we?"she asks opening the car door for me. I step in and she orders the driver to carry my box to the trunk, then she heads to the other side of the car and gets in. Once the car starts moving she tells me that the rest of my stuff would be brought over the next day and I needn't worry, that the house keepers would help me put them in place so I could go to work as usual.

When we arrive at her place my jaw literally drops. This wasn't a mansion, it was literally a palace. I didn't even know places like this still existed,Like what the actual fuck. There was a drive through,an underground park,a tea garden,a garden that was like a park, I'm also sure there were like 10 different rooms in the building and the one I got was like twice my apartment with a walk in closet the size of my room and living room put together. The bed was so soft and fluffy that I never wanted to get up when I lay on it. Even though it had this vintage vibe around it, it still looked modern. There was a neon light across from my bed that looked like a vase with a bouquet of roses. It was placed in a position where I could see it while lying down. On the ceiling there were a bunch of glowing stars. A humidifier was was hung over my bed stand. There was a bean bag and table by the window and a television set across my bed. A sofa and tea table was placed beside the closet door and I remember thinking how beautiful and relaxing this place was and how it might not be all that bad living here, before dosing off.
