The Flipside of Him

Chapter 1

Mary's POV

I've been staring at nothing for a while now.

How is it? I can't get out of here. It took a while for that skinny man to come. I still have On the Job Training at a famous Cruise Line Company here in the Philippines.

If I remember correctly, I applied to Oceanseal Cruise Line and it is one of my dream companies to work for.

When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a Seawoman and getting into big cruise ships, so I entered this job. And one more thing, I grew up in an orphanage so somehow, when I work, I want to donate money for the children.

"Hayst, I need to get out of here. If I can't get out of here, I'll waste my opportunity at Oceanseal Cruise Line" I said weakly and took a breath

I'm just a scholar so I did OJT at Oceanseal and luckily I passed that's why I won't miss this opportunity.

My breathing became stronger and at the same time a man entered the room, that's why I suddenly stood up from sitting on the floor and I was very surprised that err.. who is he again?

Dan? Den? Denver? Dw-- that's Dwayne

"Please let me out, I have OJT next week at Oceanseal Cruise Line. This is the only time this will happen to me and I'm just a Scholar. Everything is free so I can do OJT. Please let me out" I said quickly while kneeling in front of him

Even though my pride is high, I will lower it as long as my OJT continues.

"Tsk be thankful because my work next week will be in that ship, if not, I will not allow you" he said that was able to explain my face

But wait, what did he say? If my OJT is not at Oceanseal, will he not allow me? What am I? Why is he still making decisions in my life?

"Can I go out? There are two cats waiting for me in my apartment. I can't leave them alone" I promised him

Hey, why am I saying goodbye to him? It's my life, so it's my life, my decision.

"Pack your things when you go home, you will stay here in this mansion with your little pets" he said that makes my eyes wide open

"Huh? I will stay here? No need, I have my own apartment. That's enough for me. I don't need your house" I said with a sigh

"You're going to an OJT next week, what about your pets, how will you take care of them?" This question raised my eyebrows

"You don't care about that. Wait, why do you care about other people's lives?" I'm sorry to say

"Ronald give you to me, I own your life starting today and you can't escape me" he said that makes me more irritated

"Your face is so thick, I'm not something to be passed around. You can't own my life just because you want it you jerk" I said irritable

"And one more thing, I don't even know that Ronald. He has no right to give me to you. How many times have I told you that!" I shouted to him

"You will pack your things or I will burn your house with your stupid cats" he said and suddenly my speech changed as I ran towards the door

"I told you, I'm going to pack. Will someone take me to my apartment? I bet you have a cage? I'll put my two pets there" I tried to smile at him while biting my lip

He is very scary. I feel that he will do it if I don't follow him.

"I'll take you there" I heard another voice from behind me so I looked and it was the man who shot Ronald and I swallowed my own saliva

As for Dwayne, why are you letting him go with me? Maybe later he'll just point a gun at me and kill me.

No matter what I complained about, I knew there was nothing I could do so I followed that man on foot until we got to a car.

I immediately entered the backseat and sat there.

The man also got inside and he drove. I also noticed that he seems to know my address that's why I didn't bother to point it out because it looks like they have already done a background check on me because he knows my apartment.

After 30 minutes, we arrived at my apartment, so I quickly went inside and when I entered, my sweet cat greeted me.

"Meow~" my black cat purred so I immediately picked it up and hugged it

"I miss you Vivi" I said while smiling

"Wait where is Riri?" I asked my cat

"Meow~" he answered that's why I suddenly went to my room and saw a white cat named Riri lying there then staring at me as if I had done something bad

Hayst, Riri is really naughty, it's a good thing because Vivi is gentle so I can play with her if she's just as naughty I might have given her away

I immediately put Vivi down and opened my cabinet while taking out a large suitcase and put my clothes there. I also put my cats' clothes and their treats that I just bought online in a bag.

After almost an hour of packing, I stretched my body and looked at the two cats looking at me.

"Oh? Why are you staring at me?" I asked and suddenly Riri went to the bowl where they were eating cat food, so I sighed and took a scoop of cat food from the plastic that was placed in the cabinet.

By the way, I haven't fed them since this afternoon because I came from the house of one of my OJT classmates. Because we are going to Oceanseal together to start OJT but it seems that I will not be able to keep up with him because I know that demonic man will not allow me.

"Are you done?" Suddenly the man appeared from outside the door of my room and I nodded

"Here's the cage, your two cats will fit in there" he said as he handed me a big cage and my cats really fit in there

"Thank you" I simply said and lowered the cage.

He also took my two suitcases, so after my cat finished eating and drinking water, I immediately put them in the cage. Fortunately, they behaved well in the cage so I quickly got them into the car.

I was about to lock the apartment when the owner of the apartment suddenly came. It's night, miraculously, he's outside his house. His house is right next to my apartment so he was able to get here quickly

"Manang Rufina, I'm leaving the apartment. Here's my payment for this month" I said holding out P 1,500.00 pesos from the educational assistance I got from the school I study since I'm a scholar there.

"Where are you going?" He asked while accepting my payment
