Chapter 33 Behind the mask
Annie scoffed angrily.
Who the hell is sending mail this to her.
She glanced around and squeezed the paper then threw it away angrily.
She brought out her phone and checked the date.
She paused.
It’s been two weeks already and this whatever person that’s sending this message to her always do that every two weeks.
She will report it to the cops if she receive another one after this.
She opened the gate and moved in then looked it hurriedly.
She have to be more careful now.
Someone definitely is behind all this and she wondered who.
She entered the house and met Rosetta with a bowl of popcorn watching Zee❤️ World.
She turned to her when she heard the sound of the door locking.
“And you’re back,”she started with a smile.
Annie nodded.
“I left some food for you in the pot. You can microwave if you want.”Rosetta added.
“Alright, thanks.”Annie replied.
She moved in front of the TV and suddenly smiled.
“Oh, my. King of Hearts?, I’m coming mom, I can’t afford to miss this, I will join you soon, let me take a quick shower!”Annie rushed happily and ran to her room.
Rosetta gave a small laugh.
Just she and Zee world.
She can never do without it.

Boyd retired to his room after dropping Annie off at her house.
He changed into his pyjamas and laid quietly on his king size bed.
He gazed at the ceiling and sighed.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Then, slowly, he touched his heart.
It was beating faster.
He blinked his lashes cutely then a small smile appeared on his lips.
He then closed his house.
“Little Ann.”he muttered before sleeping.
**
Annie woke up to the clanging of her alarm and she opened her eyes.
She closed her eyes and use the pillow to cover her ears from the blaring sound of the alarm.
That didn’t seem to help.
She removed the pillow and huffed.
She grabbed the alarm and put it off.
She picked her phone to check the time.
She’s still very much sleepy.
*7;49am*
Seven what?
Oh, she’s gonna be late.
She rushed inside the bathroom and brushed her mouth then took a five minute bath and rushed back to her room with a towel around her body and opened her wardrobe.
She brought out the cloth she first laid her hands on – a button down gown.
She put it on and the gown stop right above her knees.
Her thighs were showing.
She colour of the gown is black and somehow, it brought out her skin beautifully.
She combed her air anyhow and nab her bag from the table and rushed out.
She ran into her mom in the living room.
“Morning momma.”she greeted as she gave her a quick peck on her left cheek.
“Morning, dear. You look good.”Rosetta replied as she kissed both of Annie’s cheek.
Annie nodded and moved towards the door.
“Wait, no breakfast?”Rosetta asked.
“I’m late, mom. I will find something to eat when I get to work.”she replied and made to open the door.
“Wait.”
Rosetta rushed to the mini dinning and returned with two slices of bread.
“Here, open your mouth.”
“You don’t really have to, I said I will…”
Annie stopped talking seeing the look her mom was giving her and she opened her mouth.
She stuffed the bread into her mouth and patted her cheek.
Annie rolled her eyes and said he goodbyes then ran outside.
**
Annie got to the company and she walked fast like she was being chased earning a look from the other workers she passed by.
She got to Boyd’s office and knocked.
He gave his permission and she entered.
Boyd looked up at her and at that moment… that moment ☺️, his heart paused as he also paused to look at the beauty in front of him.
She has always been beautiful but… today, she looked extra beautiful.
Like the beauty of all the other girls was added to hers.
His eyes trailed over to her legs and his mouth opened slightly.
Annie walked over to him.
“Good.. good morning sir”she stuttered.
“You look ravishing!.”Boyd blurted out.
What?
Annie looked at him and scoffed.
She looked down at herself and gasped.
Oh!. This was what she was wearing all along?!!!!.
Geez.
That explains the stares she got from the people.
“You’re… you’re humorously rude, boss…”Annie chuckled nervously as she drew tried to cover her thighs with the cloth.
“Huh?”Boyd asked.
“You shouldn’t be…. be…”
“Staring at your tempting thighs?, if I don’t stare at it then who would?”he asked.
“What?, stop being rude sir!”Annie replied with a reddened face.
“Only my husband has the right to…”
“It’s not as if you’re married or are you?. Every bachelor can stare at it as long as they want.”Boyd cur her off.
Annie scoffed.
“You’re an extrovert!!!”she almost shouted.
“You just know that now?”Boyd chuckled.
He was so much loving this.
“So you’ve obviously been pretending to be.. shy and innocent?”
“That’s what you want to believe. That’s what you believe. That’s not me. I’m more of an extrovert.”
Annie glared hard at him and turned to walk away.
“Where to, beautiful Ann?, you’ve not read my schedule to me.”he said.
Annie turned back and he smirked.
“Gosh. Please, I will read it to you later, I need to..”
“And you lose your job. Walk out of her and get fired.”Boyd threatened.
And Annie was left with no choice than to wait.
√√√
Annie walked out of the company later in the night.
Since the time is still young, she decided to trek home and save her self the transport fare.
*732pm*
She clung her bag to her chest as she walked down the street.
Suddenly, a car drove in front of her and stopped and Keeton came out.
He licked his lips as he stared at her exposed laps.
“Hey, feisty bitch?.”he said.
Annie stopped walking and her eyes widened.
He started walking towards her.
She moved back but came in contact with two hefty men.
They were Keeton’s men.
What?, fuck?
The place is quiet, there was no one around.
She opened her mouth to shout but a hand was clasped over her mouth.
“Sssh, you probably don’t need that.”Keeton muttered.
Huh?.
How chance he is in front of her now??.
“Do you know what I’m gonna do to you?”he asked with a raised brow.
Annie let’s out a loud cry which resulted into muffled cries.
“I’m gonna kill you, but not with a knife or gun, with something else.”he smirked.
“That’s probably enough.”someone said.
Keeton scoffed and glanced back but he came in contact with a hot blow.
He fell down and the guys behind Annie rushed towards the man with the mask.
He was putting on a black pullover, black trouser, same with shoes and the mask is also black.
He took the men down in no second.
Just then, another car stopped in front of them and Boyd rushed out.
He ran to Keeton on the floor and gave him a hard slap.
The mask man walked to Annie and she shivered.
“Are you okay?”he asked.
His voice was thick probably as a result of the mask he was putting on.
Annie shook her head and found her self moving her hand towards the mask.
He grabbed her hand in the mid – air.
He has some black gloves on his hands also.
“Did he hurt you?”Boyd asked worriedly moving towards Annie.
Annie turned to him and shook his head and before she could glance beside her, the man was gone.
But she felt something on her legs.
She stared down and found a small note on it.
