1.
Elsie squeezed her eyes shut feeling as if she was going to die.
Her breathing became labored as she sat crouched on the floor of
the elevator, hugging her knees to her chest.
“ Are you okay, ma’am?” She
heard the voice of a man who must have entered the elevator after
her. She gave a deep sigh and pulled herself up with his
assistance, she had felt weak in the knees. A broken heart would
have that effect on a girl. She just could not wrap her head around
the fact that Carlos was using her for money. That was what it all
boiled down to, wasn’t it?
“ I’m okay,” she lied
quietly as he helped upright. She pressed the button to her floor
and leaned back into the mirrored wall of the elevator. It wasn’t
until she turned around and saw that it was one of Carlos’s
acquaintances from the event , a tall thin
man with red hair and freckles. His eyes were dark and
unremarkable. He looked quite odd, actually. Oh, God! Had he
overheard the conversation or the argument she’d had with Carlos?
Her face heated up like an inferno. Acid burned in her throat. She
hadn’t even asked the man his name. She didn’t care to at the
moment. She was still seething at Carlos. She knew Carlos
introduced her to a million people in the ballroom but how was she
to remember all those names? When her floor came, she smiled
politely and walked out of the elevator without so much as a glance
back. It was too bad she hadn’t looked back because he was right
behind her. Before she could do anything he’d covered her mouth
with a cloth that smelled toxic. Before long she was passed
out.
What seemed like minutes
later, she’d awoken up in another hotel
suite on one of the high floors.
“Who…who are you?” she struggled
to talk as she pried her eyes open. The man was sitting on a chair
by the bedside with a glass of wine in his hand.
