The next day Arthur had drove me to my job. It was my first day as a model. I was so nervous. Last night I had sex with Arthur. I don't know if I should regret it or be happy that it was him. Arthur has been silent..... I don't know what he's thinking. But this morning he woke me up early. He wanted to personally drive me to work. Not that I was complaining ....

" What if I mess up or if I'm not girly enough?"
I finally spoke. Arthur let's out a little laugh as he smiles.
" Mari your the only person who I think as girly in our house."
" Our house?"
Arthur pauses as he nods. Pressing the gas a bit as he continues to drive and chat.
" Just because sometimes we don't get along doesn't mean this isn't your house. In fact if something ever happens to me I already wrote my will. The house of gangsters will be all yours "

That hit me hard. If Arthur dies? Why would he thinks he's going to die?
" Arthur stop-"

" I'm serious Mari "
Arthur says in a stern voice. He parks the car in front of the mall as he leans in planting a soft kiss on my forehead. I can't help but smiles as he whispers in my ear.
" Last night was amazing. Now go show this mall what your made of"

I nod and grab my purse. Then I glance back at Arthur. I'm hesitant at first but then I lean in and capture a kiss from Arthur . His face is red as I get out of the car. As if nothing just happened.
" See ya tonight daddy"
I salute Arthur and wink playfully as I make my way inside. He speeds off as soon as the moss lady opens the door for me. She smiles and kisses my cheek.
" Mari darling! I'm glad you agreed to be a model we need more sophisticated women in our division!"
She says in a enthusiastic voice. I smile back and nod happily.

" I'm willing to put my heart in this job if that's what it takes."

After getting ready with a bunch of make up and different outfits: my day begins. The first few outfits were stunning. The best part about this job is that any outfit I photoshoot with I get to keep.

The photographer nods in approval as I pose perfectly in camera view.
" Yes just like that Marianne do a spin for me would ya?"

I nod in approval as I spin elegantly. The camera flashing at every photo.

Finally after a long day of work: it was time to go home. My feet were killing me due to the heels. My neck was tense due to all the excessive posing. But I actually had fun trying on all of my new outfits. Some were normal and some just added spice to my photos. I really like the white Blainette dress I tried on. It wasn't too tight around my waist and it didn't rise up on me like most of my dresses.

It was towards eight thirty pm when I called Arthur to pick me up.
" Hey. It's dark out is there any way you could pick me up?"

" Mari I'm sorry my car broke down. I can send Mathew. He has his motorcycle. But it might take some time. Can you wait a few minutes?"

So with that said I had no choice but to wait outside on the bench. It was dark. The only light was the street light a few feet away. I'm so bored what's taking mat so long?
I open my purse searching through it I grab my phone to check the time. Suddenly a shadow appears from behind. Just as I look up someone places me in a choke hold . I try to scream as the guy covers my mouth. Then he uses his other hand to bring a knife to my throat.

" Say one word and you die"

My body tenses up my eyes widen. I didn't need to look up to know who the hell is attacking me.
Leon....

He's found me!

I squirm and cry in fear as his grip tightens. the knife now on my skin.

" Let her go"

Despite my fear I look up. A few feet away was Mathew. He had a gun pointed at Leon

" Lay a hand on her and your dead"
Mat warns in a stern voice.
Leon laughs sadistically as his grip tightens. I wriggle and squirm in frustration. But Leon's grip tightens more.
" Do it! Kill me kiddo! I can't die."
Leon laughs again moreover a cackle.
Sirens wailing In the distance: indicating that someone most have heard the chaos.
Leon and mat stare at each other with rage. But the cop car lights were visible. The cops are coming.
If all three of us are caught where screwed .
Leon cuts my shoulder and pushes me to the ground. Then he makes a run for it. I scream in agony as blood leaks from my shoulder fast. Mat swoops me off the ground and uses his jacket: Tying it around my wound to stop the bleeding. Then he drives fast to the mansion. By the time mat is carrying me inside his white jacket is soaked with blood. There's blood dripping all over the floor. My vision is hazily as I don't move. Laying silently in mats arms.
" Guys!!!! Guys!!!!
Get some water and a first aid kit!!!"
My vision fades as becks enters the room. As soon as they lay me down on the couch I pass out fully
