Almirah's POV

I went back to the office to inform the devil of my time of departure from the office only to see him waiting for someone at the entrance of the office with a billion dollar smile! A good news or was he up to something? Or... did he already do something? I shrugged it off as I decided to end the day faster as possible so I approached him.

Then it clicked to me that... he was waiting for ME! Because as he saw me,he said "You may leave honey! See you tomorrow! Take care! Byyyeeeeee..." He said with so much FAKE enthusiasm! Was he thinking that I was a kid or what? Whatever... I smiled awkwardly at him as turned around briskly causing my 'painted' hair to land on his face which led him to sneeze. Very nice! Exactly what I wanted!

Suffer the consequences! I went towards my car only to meet with Zaira, my childhood friend! "OMG ZAIRA! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE HERE! SINCE WHEN DID YOU RETURN FROM MAURITIUS HUH AND HOW IS DARIUS?" She looked at me in pure shock at my outburst before... crying her life out and hugged me tightly... "Th-the-they kill-ll-lled hi-him... They killed him and threw me out of our house telling me... that... th-that I coul-oculd no lo-long-longer sta-stay th-here as they seized our house!" "Ok ok... Shhhhhh.... Calm down then you explain to me... ok love?"

For the second time... I went to the cafe that day... The owner looked at me strangely like I was an alien. Well I could not blame him... I came to the cafe first time today crying... ME MYSELF CRYING... And second time I came... the SAME day, I brought SOMEONE ELSE crying... well how great! "A COFFEE PLEASE!" I shouted at a waiter who nodded in shock of my voice.

When the coffee arrived, I helped Zaira to drink it slowly and calmed herself slowly and soothingly. "Explain carefully and calmly what happened love... don't stress yourself... I will help you! I promise! We will find a solution... Explain... and don't cry! You resemble like boogie man! Hahaha!" She gave me a small smile and stared at the cup in front of her and sighed. Then she stared...

"Well it happened like this... Two years ago, me and Darius met in Mauritius. He was a chef and I am an architect. We were living happily after having gotten married, like you already know and then... two months ago I found that I was pregnant with our first child. He was the happiest person living on Earth when he heard that news... He was so merry... so excited... Everyday he would bring fruits, movies, books or roses for me... Till...

Till THEY arrived a month ago. THEY... Who destroyed our happiness... THEY... Who destroed our dream house... THEY... Who ruined our dream, our world! THEY! THEY! Those sons of bitc*es! Those bastards should rot in hell!" Her eyes shined with unshed tears of pain, throbbing for revenge but filled with regret and sadness of not being able to do anything... I hugged her as a tear fell from my eye but all her tears started flowing down like a blocked river which was released after a long time...

Well I guess she wanted someone trustworthy to share that news with and I was glad... I was glad that she chose me... Now no matter what! NO MATTER WHAT! I will help her! But why did they kill him..? I voiced out my thought as she sniffed her tears inside and answered the best she could..."They claimed that my husband who was working for THEIR boss as his chef, well the BOSS was a pretty rich man, Well my husband found out that they worked illegally in drugs and other things...

And also that they worked for the mafia... As he found out these things... He was a 'danger' to their transactions so they had to take him out of the way and they ONLY way was to kill him... So they... THEY... THEY KILLED HIM! And worse... They entered our house... I knew nothing... I was cooking... Then I heared some noise. I went to check and saw the boss and his men in the house. The boss or Zeke as they call him, always had a thing for me... Lust i think... he would always look at me with that glint in his eyes... Then he explained everything to me. he told me that if I married him, we would live happily! BUT I LOVED DARIUS! I COULD NOT BETRAY HIM! 

So I ran away... He found me two weeks ago in Seychelles and tried to get hold of me but... but... HE KILLED MY BABY! I ran away from there to here. I got money from my bank account and came here. Please help me Almy please... " I knew it! I knew that Darius could do nothing wrong! It had to do anything w- Who who whoaaaa wait a minute.... the MAFIA? The MAFIA was included in this? Oh fuck now what? What could we forcibly do? We could not go in the crocodile's mouth as it is... 

I held her hand as I smiled warmly at her, informing her that I was with her. She whispered 'thank you' and went back to crying. I looked at my watch and saw that it was nearly 9 o'clock... Wow, time flew fast enough... I hugged her and offered to leave her at her little apartment she rented... well I myself lived in an apartment so I could not offer her to come and live with me but at least I offered to leave her at home to which she refused happily, knowing that she fell in someone's hands, who cared for her.

I watched her retreating back which went far away from me and disappeared when she turned left. I smiled and thought about what I could do for her... That Zeke seems to be a real bastard king of mankind... I shrugged as I went to my car and opened it. I turned the key in the key hole for only... to find the car broken down!! What the F man?

To be continued... LOL
