Chapter 5: Who are you?
NORMAL POV:
There's a reason Misaki doesn't like men, her father left her, her sister and her mother with a ginormous debt. Years of gambling do that to people. And also, because of him.
Flashback
Misaki briskly walked down the crowded streets, eager to get home. Her shift at Maid Latte (where she worked so she could earn some money to help her family) had been extended because one of the co-workers suddenly got sick and Misaki was begged to take her place. Of course she couldn't refuse her manager. So now here she was at 9pm, running down the streets like a madwoman.
It was Suzana's birthday and she wanted to give her, her present. Being as poor as they were, she couldn't afford an extremely expensive. In her hands was a carefully parceled package. The wrapping was pink with puppies wearing sunglasses. It also had pink sparkles dotting the wrapping paper. Even though Misaki had got countless weird looks from people because of the odd wrapping paper, she was eternally grateful to Sakura, who had given her the wrapping paper. If it wasn't for her, Misaki would have been forced to use old, boring brown paper that had been rotting at the back of her cupboard for the past who knows how many years.
Misaki had also noticed that a suspicious looking figure had been looming near her wherever she went. She had not gotten a good look at their face but she did know it was a man from his figure and posture. He was wearing a mask that covered everything but his mouth and eyes and had a hoodie shadowing his face. His hands were stuffed into his pockets. He was also wearing pure black and was hiding in the dark corners of the street. However, Misaki didn't miss him. His gaze was fixated on her and did not waver. She brushed it off as nothing and entered the dark alleyway that served as a shortcut to her house. A few feet in, she heard footsteps begin to follow her. Misaki turned her head back whilst continuing running and saw the same suspicious man running behind her. She picked up her pace as she continued running. The footsteps also came faster and she turned around to see that the man was a few feet behind her now.
Suddenly, he jumped and pinned Misaki to the ground, his hands pinning her wrists behind her head and his legs restricting hers. Her present went flying somewhere on the street. Misaki desperately struggled in his grasp as he smiled a disgusting smile at her.
"Hello pretty lady." He said, leaning closer to Misaki's face.
Misaki opened her mouth to scream, but before she could, one of his hands clamped down on her mouth, the other securely holding both her wrists.
"Now now, we wouldn't want anyone finding us, would we?" He asked Misaki, grinning. He somehow managed to sellotape Misaki's mouth shut and used his now free hand to roam Misaki's body. Misaki resisted the urge to puke as his rough hands moving down her body.
He smiled at her again and leaned closer, kissing the sellotape on Misaki's mouth.
'No.' Misaki thought to herself. 'I have to escape!'
With strength she didn't know she had, she jerked her hands out of the man's grip and punched his jaw.
"You stupid woman! What the hell was that?!" He screamed at her, staggering back and cradling his jaw. Misaki ripped the sellotape of her mouth and threw it into the bin. (AN: Healthy environment :))
Misaki took the opportunity to punch him hard on his nose as he was staggering back. He fell back, clutching his bleeding nose.
"YOU BROKE IT!" He yelled, standing up with the support of the alleyway wall.
Misaki scrambled to her feet and spotted the present, thankful for the impossible to miss wrapping paper. She picked it up and ran out of the alleyway. She was ready for him to chase after her but luckily he didn't.
She reached her house in record time. Her mom and Suzana were surprised when they saw Misaki huffing and puffing and covered in dirt.
"What happened Misa?" Her mom questioned, worry etched on her face.
"I'll tell you another time." Misaki panted, not wanting to ruin her sister's special day.
"Are you sure Misaki?" This time Suzana questioned, "You look shaken up."
"It's nothing." Misaki assured them. Even if she wanted to tell them, she could not bring herself to speak of her horrifying experience yet. She was indeed shaken up from the disgusting man's actions but she decided to tell them the next day.
So she went inside and enjoyed Suzana's birthday as best she could with that man playing in her mind.
Flashback Ends
Misaki shivered at her flashback. She did indeed tell her mom about it but there was nothing they could do. Everything but his eyes and face was covered by a mask so Misaki didn't get a good look at his face, not like she wanted to see his hideous face. From then, Misaki had tried to come home as early as possible.
Before she knew it, she was at WAF's building. She looked at the building, even though she had seen it before, it always looked amazing to her.
The streets were bustling and people where talking on phones or rushing to get somewhere. Suddenly, Misaki felt a rough shoulder barge into her back. Clutching her back, Misaki whipped around and saw a beautiful woman. She had long, straight blond hair that cascaded down her back. Her eyes were a beautiful blue. She was wearing a white shirt tucked into a pencil skirt and a matching blazer. Misaki couldn't help but notice that the woman had a beautiful, slim body.
"Watch it!" The woman hissed.
"Excuse me but you're the one who bumped into me." Misaki replied calmly.
"Do you think I care? Watch where you're going, you brat!"
"But I didn't do anything!" Misaki replied, beginning to get annoyed.
"You were standing there like a big oaf!"
"Excuse me?"
"Are you deaf you stupid girl?!"
Misaki took a deep breath and replied vehemently, "Once again, I didn't do anything. But since you can't understand that, let's forget this happened."
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!" The woman screeched, catching the attention of half the street, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!"
"No and I don't care." Misaki said and walked into WAF before the situation became worse.
The woman carried on screaming behind Misaki but she didn't care. Bystanders were staring at her and the mysterious woman.
Just as Misaki reached the front desk, her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Misaki hello! It's James. I'm happy to tell you that you got the Water For You role. Please come to the address I send at the given time." Misaki said nothing, overcome with shock.
"Misaki? This is you right?" James asked again.
"Yes it's Misaki. Thank you so much for the role! You won't regret it!" Misaki exclaimed, bursting with happiness.
"I know I won't. I have to go. Goodbye Misaki."
"Goodbye." Misaki said, regaining her posture. As soon as the phone cut, Misaki jumped up and down, full of energy. She ignored the curious stares everyone gave her and continued her little victory dance.
"Excuse me miss, can I help you?" The receptionist asked.
"No thank you." Misaki replied, flashing her a brilliant style smile before practically running out of the building. She didn't even care that she came all this way for nothing. She wanted to tell her mother and sister.
A few feet out of the building 2 tall, burly men walked up to her.
"You need to come with us ma'am." One said.
Misaki's smile faded, "Who are you?"
"Personal bodyguards. You need to come with us."
"Where?" Misaki asked, backing up.
"We can not disclose that Madam." The other bodyguard spoke up walking closer to Misaki.
"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Misaki spat preparing to run.
The bodyguards exchanged looks before reaching out and lifting Misaki up.
"LET GO!" Misaki thrashed in their grip, legs flailing and kicking the men. They didn't even flinch. By then a crowd had gathered and were recording her and talking between themselves.
The bodyguards opened the door to a black Mercedes and threw Misaki in.
