Blind Spot by Sakshi C (best novel books to read txt) 📗

She flinched back when the door to her room burst open.   

It was Flynn, their security head. 

She watched as he walked up to her in threatening strides and harshly picked her up with her elbow.

Inessa's brows furrowed in confusion as he started dragging her outside. He was the same man who used to greet her twice in the morning and evening with a shit-eating grin. They all had turned against her. 

Inessa struggled to get her hand free but his grip was painfully tight. 

Where was he taking her? What does he want? A lot of questions swirled in her mind. She wasn't able to understand why this good-natured Flynn was treating her like this. 

He walked her down the stairs. Tears blurred her vision but she managed to see there were some people in the living area, sitting and watching her like a hawk as Flynn dragged her towards them like cattle. 

Flynn brought her to the middle of the sitting area and threw her to the floor. 

She fell forward. Her hand flattened against someone's shoes. A drop of tear tumbled down her eyes, clearing her vision. Her eyes latched on a shiny expensive black shoe that her hand was pressed against. She removed her hand from the man's shoe and raised her gaze a little to find a pair of legs that were spread wide. She realized she was kneeling between someone's legs. 

"She killed my boy," her scrutiny was interrupted by Anna's scratchy voice. Inessa hung her head in guilt. Anna's accusation was adding to her guilt, making it insufferable for her. She couldn't hold back the tear that dropped from her eyes and on his shoes. 

"Don't worry, ma'am. This bitch will pay for it," Flynn's spat venomously before grabbing her hair and pulling at it, harshly. 

A sharp pain shot from her scalp. The pain was unbearable. She reached around and tried to pry his hand away while crying inconsolably.  

"Leave her," a deep, authoritative voice thundered in the hall.

Inessa's helpless gaze darted to the source of the voice. It was the same man she was kneeling in front of.  

Her helpless brown eyes collided with a pair of intense blue orbs. A cold shudder ran down her spine. This man was intimidating. So intimidating that she felt threatened by him even when he wasn't looking towards her. His eyes were glaring daggers at Flynn, who immediately let go of her and cowered back.  

Inessa felt the instant urge to get away from this man. He looked intimidating, he felt dangerous. 

"She deserves worse than that, Danzel. She killed your little brother," Anna chided at her eldest son for stopping Flynn.

Danzel. 

Realization dawned upon her. She blanched and gulped in pure horror. She had heard his stories. The horror stories that his father used to sing to others in a proud tone. The stories of his brutality and barbarity.

Her soul shrunk in fear when he looked down to connect his cold gaze with hers.  

She saw it. Her end in his eyes, she saw it.
