The Pain

1 month later

"Thank you so much, sir please visit again," I said smiling at the customer while handing him the bag of pastry with coffee

It's been a month, I am working here in the cafe, and trust me this is the most amazing place to work as co-workers are very friendly and I was enjoying very much working here, but honestly said that voice which I encountered that day, owner of that car which I ruined, his deep husky voice was still very deeply settles in my mind with heart and soul, it seems like my peace, my concentration is always focused with a glimpse of that voice, after that day, but something strange also happened, here my brother Asher, he doesn't call me since a week ago, I tried to call him but his phone is coming out of reach, I just hope is fine

''Emberly, will you please do me a favor, dear,'' Mrs.Glint asked me

''Sure Bernice', just tell me what to do, I will say to her enthusiastically if she didn't give me this waitress job then how can I manage here in New York, such a beautiful but it is a very expensive city too, even I managed to afford a rented apartment here because she pays me enough to make living without lack of important things, yes finally I am living in a rented apartment, not in the motel, my apartment has one living room with a bedroom with kitchen, perfect for me to live, Although it doesn't have any expensive furniture my whole day get here in the cafe, I only go there for sleep and spend my weekends in my apartment as Sunday; I have half-days

''Emberly, we got the order of cookies with a vanilla pastry from customers who is in Cosmopolitan Hotel and Sky, our delivery boy is on sick leave as he is not feeling well, his call comes in morning his medical reports say that he has diarrhea can you go there to deliver this,'' She asked me while giving me food packet

I took that packet from her ''Sure, why not," I replied, poor sky I will visit him in hospital once in will deliver these cookies to them

I sat on my bicycle, This is a second-hand bicycle I bought from my neighbor, my neighbors buy a new car for their son at his graduation ceremony, so they sell this bicycle to me at a very affordable and cheap price

I took out my wireless Bluetooth earphones and set them up and play 'one last time-by Ariana Grande'on my phone

Finally, I reached towards Cosmopolitan hotel, which is one of the Seven-star hotels owned by Campbell Empires, I read in newspapers, magazines about them, it is owned by Adrian Campbell, the billionaire; I didn't saw his pic as I am not, I interested in it, but I read about his company

CAMPBELL EMPIRE, they own many airlines, with software companies comes under it, not only that they also own many luxurious chains of seven-star hotels, but mainly they are a construction company, they distribute tenders of shopping malls, water parks, resorts, many other important things, I also read in that article that today is marriage, with Sarah Winston, she is the daughter of Billionaire, Mr.Gabriel Winston

I parked my bicycle outside near a garden some distance away from that grand hotel, because I don't think so that watchman will let me take my bicycle inside to hotel's parking area, I saw many expensive and luxurious cars coming into the hotel, I stared at women who wore an expensive gown, with diamond necklace coming out from the car, she looks like a supermodel with perfect figure and clothes with a man in an expensive suit, not only them but many other peoples wearing expensive clothes are going inside the hotel, mostly are celebrities, if I didn't come here for delivery then I would take selfies with them

Finally, I sighed and comes towards the entrance gate of the hotel, it's so beautifully built luxurious hotel, well it is one of the seven-star hotels owned by Campbell Empires

I saw the team of guards surrounding it, eyeing everyone around it, I made my way towards it to enter, I ran my hands over my black jeans and straightened denim jacket while fidgeting my fingers

A guard stands Infront of me blocking my way, "Miss may I know why you

are here," he asked me in monotone

I quickly pulled out that email and order a message from a customer who ordered refreshment from our cafe

They nodded after seeing that message and unblock my way, I come inside to the hotel and leaves the breath which god knows how long I was holding

Damm, it's so unbelievable, I never saw a five-star hotel before, they always used to lock me in the storeroom where I live, I was never allowed to go outside except my school and coaching classes and at the home of some selected friends

I looked around in awe, what a beautifully made masterpiece it is

The lobby of the hotel spread through two floors impresses with its grandeur, which was achieved through the architectural design.

Combination of materials and textures complementing each other in a harmonious and luxurious look.

Geometrical forms and shapes variety used in décor and architectural details drives curiosity and desire to wander around looking at the masterpiece where lines guide the eye through the décor

I have never seen a seven-star luxurious hotel before, this is so beautiful

I go towards the main hall of the hotel, I called the customer who ordered from our cafe, to inform them that I will give their food bag to reception staff of hotel they will deliver it

I come towards the corner in the hall

Just as I pulled out my phone, I felt a tap over my shoulder, I turned around and find a beautiful woman looking the same age as mine, she has waist-length brown hair with beautiful sapphire eyes, she is wearing a bathrobe, wait she is Sarah Winston, but what is going here, as today is her wedding with Billionaire Adrian Campbell, I blinked rapidly as my eyes try to process what I have seen, her eyes which so puffy, it is obvious that she cried god knows how long, even she is looking so worried

"You." I trailed with a shaky voice

"Come with me," she whispered while looking around making sure that no one saw us

"What," I tried to ask but she dragged me with me somewhere, I stared at her with a small gasp, finally we reach towards a room, she opens the door and we both comes inside there

It's the beautiful master suite

"I need your help," she asked me while holding my hands

I frowned at her "what kind of help,"

She sighed "I love someone else but my father is forcing me to marry Adrian Campbell as my father's company is ongoing to be bankrupt but only Adrian can safe my father's company to go bankrupt, but the condition is I have to marry him, and I can't marry him because I already love someone else, and I am pregnant also with my boyfriend's child but my dad got to know about it and now my Dad's men kidnapped my boyfriend, even he is threatening me to kill my boyfriend and our unborn baby; if I didn't marry Adrian,"

I cover my mouth with my palm after hearing her words; how can her father do this, how can someone be this cruel, even he will kill innocent unborn child, if she didn't marry Adrian, this is so disgusting

"Tell me I will help you in any condition," I told her while taking hold of her hand softly nodding at her

She nodded and wiped away her tears, suddenly her phone rang, she quickly picked up the call

"Yes, I am coming," she told someone then hang up the call, my eyes stop at the wallpaper of her phone, I freeze at my place while shaking my head

Her phone home screen has my brother Asher and her pic, I looked at her wide-eyed swallowing

She looked at me as her brows furrowed seeing my reaction, I quickly took her phone

"T....this is my brother" I stuttered looking at my brother Asher and her pic

Her eyes widened "you are Emberly," she asked and I looked at her dumbfounded

"You know me," I asked her

She nodded smiling little, "Asher told me about you, your brother loves you so much," she told me while placing her hand over my shoulder

But, soon my eyes fell when I realized,

Asher is her boyfriend so this means my brother is kidnapped

I felt my throat felt so dry, I quickly took told of the edge of the bed and looked at her, gulping, I am so scared for Asher

"This means my brother is been kidnapped," so this is the reason he didn't call me for two weeks because he is kidnapped

I fall on my knees even tears started coming out from my eyes continuously

"He will be fine, nothing can happen to him," I uttered while shaking my head and wiping away my tears furiously

Sarah put her hand over my shoulder and wrapped her arms around me

I felt soreness in my throat and lungs

She wiped away tears "I got a know the place where they kept him, now I am going there to save him and some of my friends are already at that place, they are informing me about everything happening there," she said to me while putting her clothes in duffle bag

"My brother will be fine, nothing can happen to him," I whispered at her while taking hold of her arms and she nodded

"I am going there, but men of my dad are standing outside the room and hotel so I need your clothes, I will wear your clothes and go there in your disguise," she said and I nodded to her.
