12. A better opportunity

Vera's point of view:

(For reference)

After eating my breakfast, I wanted to go to the garden when a tall, slender, beautiful lady walked into the mansion. Her high heel made irritating sounds through the marble floor. She halted in front of me, throwing me deadly glares which I couldn't understand. Who's she and why's she glaring blazingly at me?

…

This strange woman has been staring at me for more than a minute now without speaking, her stares are full of hatred and right now I think these sullen glares are already becoming petrifying. Her emerald green eyes have a tint of red in it which shows that she's angry. Is she angry at me? But why the heck will she be angry at me? I don't know her and I'm sure she doesn't know me either, this is the first time we are meeting each other and she's already throwing gazes full of hatred and rage towards me.

“Who are you?" I asked when I couldn't take the silence and the glares from her any longer. Someone needed to speak, I should at least know who she is and what her problem with me is. I noticed that the servants around all had their heads bowed. They seemed to be scared of this woman. Even my friends are at a distance too, they are also scared as others and couldn't move an inch, they also had their heads facing the floor.

“Who am I?" Her voice is vile and full of mockery. She let out a chuckle that didn't reach her eyes, it sounded sarcastic. In the next seconds those chuckles are nowhere to be traced on her face because her face turned back to the blank and stony face that was glaring at me some minutes ago. I don't know why, but this lady's presence seems so intimidating, though not as intimidating as Mr Green eye's presence but she looks like someone that commands powers.

“You want to know who I am, huh?" Her voice sounds sardonic. She moved closer to me, out of instinct my feet moved back. Her looks are so terrifying and they made me act without even thinking. Before I knew it, she grabbed me on both of my shoulders. I shuddered at her touch and slightly winced in pain. Her grip is so tight and painful. There's no way in this world that I will believe that the person grasping me right now is a lady. Her hands are so strong, like the hands of a boxer or bodybuilder.

“I am someone that a girl like you shouldn't know. I know that you are nothing but a whore. I don't know how Dominic brought you into this house but I want you to get out right now!" I subconsciously flinch at the intensity of her voice.

Whore! Who the heck did she just call a whore! “Hey to your information I'm not a whore, I'm only here because of the deal I made with Mr Green eyes. I'm not a fucking whore!" Those are the words I want to snap at her face but her fierce looks somehow made me lose my voice.

“Beta Vanessa, please you can't hurt her. She's Alpha's special guest," the butler who I believe just entered the living room was the only one that had the courage to speak to this strange lady. With the way his voice was shaking while he spoke, I'm sure he's scared of this woman but just gathered enough courage to speak to her. He called her Beta, what name is that again. Why am I hearing strange names in this mansion?

“Old man stay away from this," she grimed. Old man? This man is not that old, he could be in his middle forties. Someone with that age is not old, maybe she doesn't think the same way as me.

“Please Beta, if anything happens to her Alpha won't spare me," the butler was pleading this time, his voice polite as ever.

“I said you should stay away from this old man!" The lady yelled. I suddenly felt a chill down my spine and unexpectedly felt cold… the intensity of this lady's voice caused it. The servants around and also the butler weren't an exception. The butler didn't speak further, he just stepped back with his head hung down.

“And you," she snapped and grabbed my wrist as she forcefully dragged me out of the mansion. She's gripping my wrist so tight and I fear it might snap into two.

Once we are outside the mansion. The men on black suits who stood in front of the big mansion also tried to stop the lady. These men always stand here, I believe they are the bodyguards who stand to protect the mansion.

“Beta Vanessa, you can't take her out of the mansion. She's Alpha's special guest, he will get furious if you throw her out of the house," one of the black men in suit said. He's the same gentleman that acted like my boyfriend at my grandma's birthday party, his name is Stephen but I like calling him a gentleman rather than calling him by his name because he acted like a real gentleman at the party. I noticed that his voice wasn't wavering and he stood dauntless in front of this lady unlike others.

“Stephen, don't stop me. You know that she shouldn't be here. Don't be ignorant and just step out of the way," the so-called Beta Vanessa said steely.

“I'm sorry Beta but I can't move out of the way." Stephen still stood his ground.

“You wouldn't want to disobey me Stephen. Step out of the way now." Her voice is deadly calm right now. I know that calmness is not a sign of politeness but a sign of anger. Stephen was still obdurate not to move out of the way. I never knew that this gentleman is so stubborn.

But wait… I think this is a perfect opportunity for me to escape from this mansion. I feel like I'm imprisoned in this mansion, I haven't walked out of that gigantic gate since the two nights I've been here. Mr Green eyes doesn't look like he's going to end this deal no matter what I do, so I will just grab this opportunity and leave without turning back. I don't even know why he's so interested in keeping me in this mansion and not letting me go.

“Aheem," I cleared my throat and their attention was brought to me. Beta Vanessa as they call the lady is irked as ever, it is clear on her face.

“Stephen just let me go, I don't want you both to fight. Don't worry I will explain things to your….," I was thinking for a while. “Yes, Alpha. I will tell him that it's not your fault. You actually tried to stop…"

I couldn't complete my sentence as Beta Vanessa cut my words off.

“Move out of the way Stephen!" Beta Vanessa snapped and pushed Stephen out of the way. Luckily for me, he didn't try to stop me again. It looks like he believed my words or maybe he's actually scared of this Beta Vanessa just like others.

Before I know it, we are already at the mansion gate after walking for long minutes. I can't believe how fast this Beta Vanessa could walk, it was so hard to catch up with her pace.

The gate was opened and Beta Vanessa threw me out of the gate as a piece of trash. I fell brutally on the ground, I winced in pain but I still managed to smile. She glared at me before walking away.

I stood up and happily boarded a taxi but the taxi driver kept looking strangely at me, I wondered why. It was such a long drive, finally I arrived at my apartment. I paid with my card before stepping out of the car.

Finally I'm out of that mansion, I was happy but my happiness suddenly faded away.

I'm sure this man will find me if I stay in my apartment. Saying that he knows everything about me, he will surely know about my apartment. I won't stay in my apartment, I will have to go to my friend's apartment…. I'm certain he won't find me there.

Luckily I was thrown out of the mansion with my phone. I dialed my friend's number she picked immediately. I told her that I'm coming to her apartment. She didn't ask so many questions because I usually go over to her apartment whenever I feel like but I know that she will definitely ask questions if I tell her that I will move my things to her apartment because she knows that I have an apartment which rent is fully paid for the year.

I entered my room, packed my things and boarded another taxi to my friend's apartment. Mr Green eyes will never find me.
