The Last Victim Chapter Two

My father's over protectiveness has always annoyed me. It hindered me from having my own experiences and learning from them. He was trying always to have everything perfect for me. The perfect school, the perfect upbringing and the perfect parenting. I consider myself lucky but sometimes I would come to the point where I feel that I really want to try things on my own. I was really angry when he refused to let me go with customers to their properties and I couldn't reason why he would do that. On that day I consulted Roderigo, the executive manager and my father's best friend.

''Sometimes parents don't realize that their children have become adults until they prove it.'' he said in his fatherly manner.

''What do you mean?''

''What about going to a customer's property and sign a transaction and show him that you are an adult, responsible and trustworthy.'' He muttered.

I leaned back and sank in the black leather chair and thought about it. Sure he will get angry when he knows, but when he calms down he will know my real mettle. I'm tired of hearing ''you're still young'' always.

''Why not? It is the time for me to be independent.'' I said with enthusiasm.

''He will kill me if he knows that I allowed that.'' He said irritably.

''He won't.'' I said holding his hand in reassurance.

And that was it, I arranged with a customer to meet him in his property at four the next day. He was white, big, and tall with sharp features. He wanted to offer his mansion for sale. He was waiting for me in the garden, it was a very beautiful garden with rare roses beautifully arranged. It looked like Eden for me.

''Beautiful garden'' I commented.

''I designed it myself.'' He said proudly.

He lead me inside, the house was no less beautiful. I wondered how could anyone sell this house, it was the epitome of luxury.

Then, everything happened suddenly, he was standing behind me when I felt a needle prick in my arm, I just remember saying ''ouch'' before everything blackens out.
