The incident
"Number 211?" A man called looking up from his clipboard.
A woman with red hair and emerald blue eyes matched forward and stood in front of him.
"What's your name?"
"Bina
The man nodded confirming something from the book in his hand . "Last name?"
"Kelvin "
"Alright.Do we have anyone that has not gone inside for their interview?" He asked, looking around. "Alright then, please come with me." He said to the lady and the two of them disappeared into the interview room .
Bina kelvin looked down at her sweaty palms and rubbed them together. She was a bundle of nerves and the interview hadn't even started yet.
'Please let this interview go well. I need this gig for GIM and I. Please,please let me get it.
She prayed under her breath just as the door at the right corner of the room opened and two men in black suits walked in.
Bina sized them up with a frown noting how thug like the both looked. The shorter one wore a white inner and had an angry scar running down to the top of his lip.
Bina shivered as she took in the taller one . This one looked a bit decent with a black inner inside his suit. He had a clean face,devoid of scars or bruises but he did have bloodshot eyes like someone who had been partying all night.
The hair at the back of her neck stood and she rubbed her arm with her hand as goosebumps started to form. She only ever felt this way when something was not right and although she couldn't put her finger on it, she could tell something was off about this audition
"Uhn, could I please use the restroom?
I'm sorry if it's unprofessional but I really have to go. "She squirmed under their gazes and the shorter on whispered something to the taller one.
He nodded towards a door in the middle of the room. " Go in there and do your business."
Bina rose to her feet quickly and ran towards the door she was stopped by the man's voice speaking again.
"Don't take our time. Hurry "
Bina gulped and opened the door, jumping inside and locking it behind her.
Something was definitely wrong. But what was it?was this not an interview after all?
No! She banished that thought from her mind as she paced about the restroom.
It was quite spacious and the WC was at the far end of the wall . There was a window at the top of the WC that led outside and would be a nice espace route just in case.
"Don't shout!" She heard and jumped in fright. She didn't shout or did she?
Bina realized that the voice was coming from outside the door and she leaned her ear against the door.
"You and I both know why we are here. I don't know why you still insist on conducting this stupid interview, Tom!"
"You know why these interviews have to conducted.Do you want the girls to get suspicious?"
"They don't have anywhere to tun to even if they do get suspicious, Tom. " Jerry insisted and Bina gasped. " This is a drug trafficking job not beauty pageant. We don't care about their abilities. All of them are going with us.
She made a move to open the door and screamed in fright when someone banged the door from outside.
"Lady, we don't have all day".
Bina flushed the toilet, color drained from face. This was not an interview, it was a cover for a trafficking scheme.
"What was taking so long uhn?" Tom asked as she walked out and she forced a smile, trying to hide how on edge she was.
Bina muttered her apologies and went back to her seat, clutching the handle of bag tightly.
"Where are you going?" She asked as they walked towards the door they had come out from.
"We just have a few things to take cure of before we can conduct the interview. Mike, will stay here with you. Tom spoke pointing to a third guy she hadn't seen before who was standing by the door and Bina gulped.
Tom and Jerry went out through the same door they had come in from a Bina closed her eyes. She had to get out of here.
"Excuse me ". She called Mike and he walked up to her .
" can I help you ? "
" yes . Actually, I think I left my phone in the restroom. Could you help me get it?"
He didn't look convinced as he walked towards the restroom . Without a second thought she picked up her bag and ran for the door her heart beating wildly in her chest.
She slammed the door and ran in the same direction she had come through passing the room that was filled with the other girls.
She threw her bag around her neck and ran with all her might needing to escape from there.
Bina picked up speed, adjusting her bag to prevent it from weighing her down.
" when I catch you, you're dead meat."
Mike yelled from behind her but she ignored him, moving at death speed, her heart pushing against her ribcage. Her palms were sweaty and her chest was burning but she couldn't stop.
The hairs at the back of her neck were erect and goosebumps were running up her arm.
Tears started rolling down her cheeks blinding her vision You might like

THE WAKE-UP CALL
Winner Wems
In this gripping tale of love, ambition, and betrayal, a doctor finds himself at a crossroads when his banker wife refuses to have children after years of agreement. Desperate and out of options, he seeks help from those closest to him, triggering a chain of events that blurs the lines between loyalty and manipulation. When a young house help arrives, tensions rise, secrets unravel, and intentions are tested.
The Wake-Up Call is a sharp, emotional story about what happens when communication breaks down, when ego overshadows love, and when one dramatic act forces a woman to confront the life, and marriage, she took for granted.
Will their love survive the deception? Or is it already too late?
His Innocent Obsession
Estelle Hayes Isla Hart has spent her entire life protected from the truth. Sheltered in the cold, opulent mansion her father built with wealth stained by secrets, she has never known the world outside the safety of her gilded cage. She's been raised in the comfort of ignorance-her innocence preserved like a precious gem, untouched by the horrors lurking just beneath the surface. But nothing lasts forever.
Her father, a man with debts deeper than anyone knows, has been in the claws of a dangerous criminal syndicate for years. And now, with everything collapsing around him, he makes an unthinkable decision to save himself: he will auction off his daughter's virginity to the highest bidder. The price of her body is nothing compared to the price of her father's survival.
At twenty-one, Isla is thrust into a world she never knew existed-one where power and corruption reign, and she is nothing more than a transaction, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. An underground auction, hidden in the dark corners of New York's criminal elite, will determine her fate. But as the bidding begins, there's one man who stands out from the rest.
Vincenzo "Vince" Moretti is not like the others.
A mafia don who commands respect through bloodshed and fear, Vince is a man who has made his fortune off ruthlessness. At thirty-seven, he has built an empire that stretches across continents, feared by everyone who dares cross him. Cruel, cold, and indifferent, Vince has never allowed weakness to cloud his judgment. But when his eyes land on Isla, everything shifts. She is an innocent, untouched by the darkness of the world he controls. She's everything he shouldn't want, but something about her purity calls to him.
Vince outbids every man in the room, securing Isla as his own. She is no longer just a piece of property for sale-she is now his possession. A contract signed in blood, a life bound by the chains of obligation, desire, and power.
To Isla, the world as she knew it shatters. Her father's debts are wiped clean in exchange for her innocence, but in the cold, unyielding world of Vince's mafia empire, she is now nothing more than a beautiful hostage-trapped in a life of submission. But with Vince, things are different. He is cruel to everyone else, manipulative and tyrannical in his dealings. Yet, when it comes to Isla, there's a strange gentleness. A possessive tenderness. He keeps her close, under his watchful eye, as if she's a rare, delicate thing that no one else can touch.
But his protection comes at a price.
Vince will not let her go. He will mold her, shape her, and possess her in ways she never thought possible. With every passing day, the line between desire and control blurs. Vince isn't just taking her body-he wants her heart, her mind, her soul. And as the days turn to weeks, Isla finds herself torn between survival and submission. She is drawn to him in a way she cannot escape, yet terrified of what she's becoming.
But a storm is coming.
Luca Santoro-Vince's former ally, now his deadliest rival-has been waiting for a weakness. A crack in Vince's otherwise unbreakable armor. And he has found it in Isla.
Luca knows that Vince's obsession with Isla is his greatest vulnerability. He will stop at nothing to break her spirit and use her to bring Vince to his knees. His plan is simple: destroy Vince's empire by destroying Isla. Luca doesn't just want to own Isla-he wants to destroy what she means to Vince, and he will stop at nothing to make her his.
The clock is ticking.
As the tension between Vince and Luca escalates, Isla's world becomes even more dangerous. The mafia's brutal games are no longer just about loyalty and power-they're about survival. But the deeper Isla falls into Vince's world, the more she realizes that the man who controls everything around her is also controlling her heart. She cannot leave him, yet she knows that staying might cost her everything.
Is she willing to lose herself in a man who sees her as both a possession and a passion?
In a world where love and pain collide, Isla must decide if she can find freedom in submission or if her innocence will be the very thing that destroys her
