The camera follows Anabella as she walks into the garage towards her car as it accommodates two people discussing
Anabella was walking towards her car in an underground garage when she suddenly heard a woman's scream startling her that she almost dropped her phone.
"Mr Ricardo I love you!!!" the woman's voice echo in the dimly lit, cold concrete underground garage.
"What did you say?" Anabella heard a cold husky and deep voice and she flinched even though she was not the one the man was talking to. Perhaps, she reacted like that because the man sounded so damn intimidating.
"I said I love you", Anabella heard the woman's voice again "I love you so much. I already fell for you the first time I saw you". The woman sounded emotional.
Anabella held her breath waiting for his response but only silence followed. She wanted to take a peek but thought it was not the right thing to do. Finally, she heard the man's voice.
"Is that all?" That was all he responded causing Anabella to gasp in disbelief
"W-What?" the woman sounded like she was utterly shocked.
'We're done, he said nonchalantly without a care in the world. There was simply no trace of warmth in his voice at all.
Anabella couldn't stop herself from taking a peek when she saw the woman's face, she was utterly shocked, isn't that Rosette Croix, the popular actress, that men will be on her beck and call begging a man, who I couldn't see his face since his back was facing me.
"Miss Croix...didn't you properly read the contract?" The man's tone became even colder and harsh.
Anabella was shocked to her bones hearing their conversation " A contract? Oh Goodness, what are they saying?"
"Miss Croix, here is one of the two conditions from the contract you signed" the man started talking "The contracted girlfriend can demand anything except for one thing; love or affection, once the girlfriend asks for any of that thing, the contract becomes null and void.
"I warned you long ago, I don't do love and never will".the man said and Anabella shivered as she watched Rosette Croix fall on her knees. The almighty goddess was drained of blood, as she became pale, a bulky man came out and dragged her away and was forced to board a vehicle and the vehicle drove away and went out of sight.
"Come out, I know you are there, NOW," he said coldly.
The man turned and looked at where I was hiding
She was shocked that she just froze for a long while. she knew he was talking to her and she knew he was a man who didn't like to repeat himself, so holding her breath, she came out.
"Come over" the man commanded and she slowly lifted her face. She was incredibly nervous. She couldn't remember anyone making her feel this scared and nervous before in a while.
"Who are you? A paparazzi" Anabel flinched back from the resentment in his voice. His ice-cold eyes glimmered with a dangerous light and it chilled her more than the freezing temperatures.
After swallowing her saliva, Anabel forced herself to respond to him.
"No, I'm not". She shook her head but the man's eyes narrowed and then, he raised his legs and started walking closer to her.
Every step he took felt like a ticking bomb to her and surprisingly, she was able to stand her ground despite her knees shaking; she was surprised.
"Little lamb...did you hear everything?" he asked
" I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean to__" Anabel manage to answer. The man suddenly raised his hands, Anabel closed her eyes thinking he was going to strangle her, but after a few minutes, nothing happened.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw he was staring solely at her red scarf around her neck and at that moment, the cold look was gone and replaced with null and blank expression.
He touched the tip of her red scarf "Red" he murmured to himself, he dropped the scarf and looked her in her eyes, he was no longer cold or harsh.
"Go home," He said to her, and started to leave.
Anabel exhaled as she watched him moving away from her. she should be running away now that the devil left her. But she could just move.
She fisted her hands till it turned pale white.
"Hey, hey...hey, Mr man" she called out to him and he stopped walking.
She fearlessly marched towards him, she didn't know what she was doing, or where the outage came from.
"Was everything you said true? what you said about not loving someone?" She asked courageously
The camera slowly moved towards the man getting his back as he stopped backing her.
