Chapter 4

Bryan stared at his phone screen as the news headlines kept popping on his screen.

The bastard who killed his dad and ruined their lifes was finally brought to book but he still wasn't satisfied. There was something inside of him wanting more pain to be inflicted on the man, he felt like taking everything away from him wasn't enough and he wanted more but there was something more bothering than that. It was her, Cindy, her face couldn't stop appearing in his head.

Somewhere in his head was screaming innocence but that was what was more upsetting, that was one of the major problem. She was innocent just like his mom and he was going to make her pay, she was going to pay for the sins of her father.

"Cindy Benson I am going to ruin your life and make you feel all I felt for years in a short time" Bryan said out loud in anger before turning to his driver.

"Turn the car around and take me back to the Mansion" he ordered and the driver quickly obeyed turning the car around. He was going to visit his mother but changed his mind, knowing his sister was going to lecture him on how irresponsible he was for carrying out the idea she kicked against, so he was going back home to his private Mansion. The place where it was just him and his thoughts.

The car drove to front of Bryan's Mansion when suddenly the driver stopped the car looking shocked.

"Why the hell did you stop the car?" Bryan yelled at the tensed driver.

"Am sorry sir, there's a girl at the front of the gate" the driver informed and Bryan scoffed.

"So what?, Run her over" Bryan wanted to say when someone starting hitting the glass of his window, he looked at the window and wind it down as he saw Cindy at the window.

"Geez the all famous Cindy Benson under the rain at my house gate, should I be honoured?" Bryan mocked teasing Cindy who looked like she would eat him up raw.

"Can I come inside your car so we could talk about the deal" I said ignoring Bryan's words as I rolled my eyes.

"That's not the way you talk to someone you are coming to for help" he replied and Cindy moved away from the car scoffing. Bryan knew she was only trying to hold in the anger and was already cursing in her head.

"Keep driving" he ordered the driver as the gate opened but just as the driver was about to drive, I stopped him again.

"Am sorry, so can we talk about the deal now.am under the rain you know" I mummered under my breath as I bowed my head in front of Bryan's seat window. I was holding in all the anger I was feeling. I wished I could tell him a piece of my mind and punch him in the face right now.

Just then Bryan chuckled and I lifted my head to look at him Wondering what was so funny.

"Are you always this obedient?" Bryan asked and I gave him a fake smile wrapping my hands around myself cold as the rain fell, not wanting to say anything because I might just end up snapping at him.

"You can come in let's talk about the deal" he added and my face lit up in hope. I made to open the car door when the car moved forward a little.

"What's going on, I thought you said I should come in let's talk about the deal" I yelled angrily hearing Bryan's wicked laughter from inside the car.

"I told you to come in" he said as I walked forward to his window again.

"Yes you did and told your driver to move the car so I couldn't get in" I replied angrily and he laughed again.

"What's with the laughter, nothing is actually funny. Just tell me if you want to talk about it or not" I snapped and he smirked.

"I told you to come in, not into my car." Bryan said confusing me.

Didn't coming in met coming into his car?

"What?" I asked scoffing and he turned to me for the first time, looking me straight in the eyes, with those blue eyes one could kill for. The smirk not leaving his face.

"I met walk into the premises and meet me in the house because I would get there before you. You don't expect to get into my car wet, do you?" He asked leaving me speechless and before I could say anything, his car drove into the compound, leaving me outside.

"I can't believe this" I thought scoffing.

"Sick bastard" I yelled out and hit my leg hard against the ground but instantly regretted it as the water on the ground came splashing on me.

I wiped my face foolishly because the rain kept pouring on me, it was like the sky was pouring out it's anger on me. I was already soaked down to my underwear.

Just then the gate started closing and I was still outside so I quickly ran inside just in time before it closed.

"Curse you Bryan" I mummered under my breath as i stared at the closed gate from inside and just like that was the magic words, the rain stopped.

"Really? Even you" I yelled annoyed looking up at the sky wanting to walk angrily into the premises but Froze as soon as I turned around.

A "Wow" escaped my lips as I stared at the premises. I had lived in paradise all my life but if where I had been living was paradise, then this was heaven.

It was the most beautiful place I had ever been in and I suddenly felt envious of Bryan. If we still had everything, I would have asked my dad for this sort of building.

"How did he acquire all this?" I was wondering when suddenly I heard a voice behind me and I flinched.

"Young Lady" I heard someone say behind me and I flinched in shock before turning around.

"Hi" I said awkwardly to the Lady behind me as I couldn't think of anything to tell her. She looked pretty advanced and nicely dressed.

"Could she be his mom?" I wondered almost asking but thought against it.

"Oh Child, you are drained. Come with me let me take you inside" she said looking concerned as she held unto me, not caring if I was wet and she wasn't.

"It's fine, I can manage" I replied freeing myself from her grasp.

"No I should......." She was saying when I cut her short.

"No it's fine, I insist" I said being polite for perhaps the first time in my life.

"If you say so, the place is really big. When you are less busy I will take you around." She said walking in front of me as she led the way.

I looked at her from behind as she talked. I wanted to tell her that I wasn't going to be staying here if she perhaps thought I was Bryan's girlfriend but I couldn't. She reminded me of my mom with the way she spoke, it reminded me of how my mom behaved back then when I was a child, although mom was way younger.

We soon got into the house after the long walk and I got in, only to have so many maids rushing towards me. Well I was used to this type of treatment but what they were doing was against one of my rules. They wanted to help me take off my clothes which I didn't want. I might have been a spoilt brat who had everything at her call but I was sort of a shy person when it came to my body and I don't take off my clothes in front of anybody, that was why I dressed myself. It was kind of a secret that nobody knew, just my Dad.

"I will do it myself, just show me the way to a bathroom and get me a fresh clothes" I said as one of the maids wanted to help me take off my dress.

"Am sorry ma but Sir ordered that we don't allow you into the house with your wet clothes" One of them spoke up and I scoffed turning to look at the old lady who had helped me into the house but she just sighed.

Why wasn't she saying anything I thought she was his Mom?

Suddenly all the maids bowed and I lifted my head to see Bryan walking down from the stairs and the first question he asked shocked me.

"Why is she still on her wet clothes, I thought I gave an order?" Bryan asked and I felt the coldness of his voice in my brain as the words echoed through the air.

I mean it came out so harsh, Not that I wasn't like that sometimes but I was maybe didn't sound like that.

"Because I refused to let them" I replied him before the old lady near me who had wanted to say something could talk.

Bryan scoffed and shook his head before turning to the maids.

"You can all leave" He ordered and they all scattered going to different directions and was Soon out of sight. I guessed they all left to their duty post.

I turned to talk to the old lady behind me but she wasn't there and was gone too and it was strange but I ignored it.

"You know you can't behave like a queen in my Mansion right?" Bryan said and I laughed in mockery.

"Hurt your ego in front of your servant?" I teased but before I could say another he pulled me to himself by my wounded hand, reminding me of the injury.

"Ahhh" I gasped in pain and tried freeing myself from his grasp but to no avail as his grip only tightened.

"Let go of me, you bastard" I yelled and he laughed before pushing me to the floor.

I screamed as I fell hard to the floor on my butt.

"This is only a warning, you should watch your choice of words to avoid getting hurt and yes it's an order" Bryan said coldly and turned around walking towards the stairs.

He got to the stairs and stopped speaking.

"Come with me" he said stopping before he continued walking.

I stared at him for a while before standing up. One thing was certain he was a depressed Bastard, a sadist.

We walked for a while and even if I wanted to I couldn't look around the huge house.

"I only lost everything I had, I didn't become a pauper" I was thinking when Bryan's voice broke into my thoughts as he pushed a room door open and entered while I followed.

"Go get a shower, we are going somewhere" he said and I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came out. I thought we were going to be talking about the deal, so why was we going out? And as if he read my thoughts, he turned around surprisingly grinning.

"There's a test you need to pass before we can talk about signing the contract" he said and I snapped.

"Am not going anywhere with you, why do I need to pass a test. I don't even know what I was thinking by coming here, I have had enough of all this. Am done" I yelled wanting to walk pass him when his intimidating voice stopped me.

"Scared?" Bryan asked and I turned to him as I scoffed.

"Why would I be scared of you?" I challenged and he laughed like he had expected it.

"I need to know if you are worth my time" he said and I felt insulted. I felt like he was throwing an indirect shade at me and I didn't like it, so I immediately jumped to defence mode.

"Worth your time? I should be the one saying that. Just because you want to help me doesn't make me less who I am. I am Cindy Benson ok?" I yelled and he smirked walking towards me.

I took a step backwards till I hit my back against the door. He got so close to me making my head race fast and my heart beat got faster and faster as he brought his face close to me.

I probably thought he was going to kiss me till he whispered in my ears.

"Out it is then, I will get you something to wear" he said and I almost cursed myself as he moved me away from the door, slamming it in my face as he walked out.

Bryan wore an evil smirk as he walked to his room, this was the beginning of everything. Today he was going to show Me Benson's daughter what humiliation felt like..
