Chapter 5

I was looking at the man who changed the course of my life within a matter of minutes.

The man who kept me in this state of disarray.

I looked at him and I felt the anger rising inside of me.

I studied the look on his but I couldn't read the expression which was odd because it's one of the things am good at.

I always know what people feel no matter how hard they try to hide it.

"What's your name and we're you from?" he asked running his eyes over me but avoiding my face.

I gave him no answer, I was trying to suppress what I was feeling."

"I said what the hell is your name young lady?!" he yelled smashing the glass of wine he had on his hand, making me shudder.

I heard the sounds of running feet as I saw Owen and the driver.

"Boss you okay?"

He didn't answer, instead he grabbed my neck and said I'd have snapped your neck but you're lucky I don't touch females."

He turned to the driver and growled "get me another drink" the driver scurried off.

He looked back at me and snarled "You should thank Lina." He walked away after that, leaving me in shock.

Why was he so angry?

I mean I should be the angry one here, after all I wasn't the one who kidnapped someone and forced her into a jet.

He had his hands on me and he said he doesn't touch females?

I might as well have been a statue.

And what the hell should I thank Lina for? I wondered.

"Hey, you okay?" it was Owen, he was looking into my eyes.

"you know am not." I spat.

"Damn! this is all my fault." he said looking down.

"What do you mean?"

"I was the first person to see you."

"Not to argue with you but it was your boss and the driver who saw me first.

I saw you this morning, in that building."

"You've never seen my face before now?"

"Of course not!"

"I've been to your place of work a couple of times, I saw you on my first day."

"Hell no! You've been to the coffee shop?"

He didn't answer that, instead he brought out his cell and said look at this. I peered at the screen, It was a photo of me laughing with Clara. The photo was obviously zoomed because it was somewhat blurry. He must have been sitting far from us.

"You took a photo of me on your first day? why?"

"When I first saw you I was shocked, looking at you was like looking at Lina.

I wanted to ask around for your name but I didn't wanna give myself away cause I was on a mission so I took a photo instead."

"Let me get this straight, you were on a mission on what and what did it have to do with the coffee shop?"

"I was tailing someone who walked into the shop and I followed him."

"Why did you take a photo of me?"

"I had to tell the boss what I saw, you are a total replica of Lina." he looked me over.

I knew I had to have a proof so he wouldn't think am playing him and then fly into one of his moods."

"One if his moods? You mean like the one he was in few moments ago?"

"He wasn't exactly angry at you, he was angry at himself, your looks upset him."

"Was that why he was avoiding my face?"

"Something like that. I was almost done with my mission so I tried to block your image from my mind. I was about going back when I found out you were being tailed too."

"What?"

"Yeah, you were being followed. One look at the guy and I knew who he was.

I knew you were in danger and I knew I couldn't handle it alone so I sent your photo to the base.

I gave them all I had on you and everything I could find out about you which wasn't much. The boss went mad as I expected, he said I should have reported sooner."

I just sat there, listening in shock.
