Chill ran down my spine thinking about all the possibilities that could ruin my life, the air in the room grew thick. I never in my wildest dream thought that I would be so scared in front of Uncle Julian.
Uncle Julian looked at me with narrowed eyes and the weight of his stairs made me uncomfortable and uncomfortable was a very lighter term that I was using.
I was horrified and closed my eyes.
“I thought you trusted me.” He accused me.
“I ..Uncle..” I tried to say something, anything that would make him less mad.
“No, you can’t uncle me, now.” He stood up and I did that too. I was so scared that I stuttered.
“I…I didn’t know.. I was scared.” I stuttered.
“You were scared?” a hollow laugh escaped his mouth.
“You know how embarrassing it was to find out that my niece is in love with Knight’s nephew,” he said.
“I am really… what?” I looked at him, startled.
I could not believe what I heard.
“What did you just say?” I asked him.
“Don’t act so innocently in front of me. You are dating Maxmillion Knight’s Nephew. And I do remember him dropping you home from school.” He looked at me accusingly.
This was..
What can I say surprising?
Weird?
“I don’t know…… What you are saying.” I said.
“Oh no, young lady. Now sit, we are going to talk and you will tell me the truth.”
“I don’t know what you want to hear?” I asked in a huff.
“Truth. If there is nothing, then why were you so scared right now? Tell me.” he demanded and again I was left speechless.
There were many things I could be afraid of, I didn’t want them to find the truth, and to avoid any kind of confrontation, I agreed.
I let myself fall into the trap, to protect one lie, I dug another one.
“I.. Okay. I am with Adrian, but we are just getting to know each other. We are not something serious.” I faked a smile.
My heart beated radically in my chest, and Uncle Jullian smiled at me.
It did little to ease my worries. But still, it was a start.
“Do you want to tell Nick about it?” he asked me and my eyes widened.
“No..” I exclaimed.
“Not right now, I.. I just want to be sure. You know, if things didn’t work out I don’t want Dad Mave to hunt him down. You know right.” I told him while hoping to keep up this charade.
He nodded and sighed.
“Okay, for the time being, I will keep your secret, but you have to understand this, no more hiding anything from me. Promise,” he asked.
“Promise, I won’t hide anything from you.” I lied.
There is definitely something that I am hiding from him.
I left him in the office and moved out of his office. Before leaving Uncle Jullian asked me to have lunch downstairs, in the restaurant.
I whirl a motion, I reached downstairs and I sat in the farthest corner of the room and ordered my food.
When my order was served I called Adrian.
“Hello Darling,” He purred.
“Shut up, just tell me why your uncle is singing the song that we are an item.” I hissed on the phone.
I was greeted with silence and then a burst of booming laughter.
“Stop, and tell me what new fresh hell is this?” I asked. My blood boiled listening to him laughing at my misery.
“Ah, I didn’t want you to find it like this,” he started.
“What?”
“We are in a relationship, darling. And this is what it is going to be?”
“What do you mean, are you crazy, or is this new limit to your delusion.” I clenched my teeth.
“I am not crazy, this is how it is going to be. Daphne, you will act like my girlfriend.” There was a sudden calm in his voice, that sent a chill down my bones, but reacted anyway.
“If you think the ball is in your court, then you are sorely mistaken. You will do what I am telling you to. So stop acting like you have any control.” he hissed at me.
“And what are you going to do, tell everyone that we slept together. Having sex is not a fucking crime. And virginity was not a prized possession. So get out of your fucked up mind and face the reality.” I was on the end of my wits, and his demands were making me furious.
I wanted to burn something, maybe him particularly. But can I do that, it was a matter of principles.
“Like I just said, you don’t have any authority in that. I will have a final say, or are you ready to face the consequences.”
“Talk to me in a language that I understand. I am not getting anything and trust me you don’t have anything on me.”
A dark chuckle follows through the phone and for a moment my heart stops.
He cut the phone in the next moment and then I received a message.
It was a video, mostly my dash cam footage.
Fuck, no..
It was my video of hitting someone and then panicking.
I panicked when I felt there was no pulse and then I did what I could do.
I dragged the person to the adjoining ditch and ran from there.
But I thought there was no one. How could he get that footage?
All the blood drained from my body and I wanted to scream, but I was numb, and scared. I could hear people talking, and laughing but all I saw was me in that footage.
Suddenly my phone rang, it was Adrian and I answered it immediately.
“I hope everything is clear now..” he drawled.
“How?” I whispered.
“Does it really matter? How, when, and what. Nothing matters. I have my own ways.” he said.
“You can’t do this. I.. will tell my fathers.” I tried to defend myself.
“If you wanted to do that, you could have done that sooner. No, you won’t tell them anything.” he answered.
“But now.. I can.” I whispered.
“Yeah, and who do you think they are going to support? Will Blackwood let his reputation tarnish because of your one reckless act? I think the board of directors won’t think twice before kicking your grandpa out. And think about James' brothers, will they be able to help you? To them reputation matters, it is everything.” he paused and I took a deep breath.
“They are not like that. They do love their reputation but they love me more.” I tried to argue.
“They do love you, I know this but they do love you enough to lose everything for you. After all, you are not their daughter.” That was the last blow and then he ended the call.
I sat there, listening to the buzzing of the cell phone. The line was dead but I still could hear Adrian’s voice.
He was right, I can’t take risks and above all, I don’t want to be the reason for my family’s downfall. They have given me everything, I can’t do that to them.
I had to be strong, so I did whatever to protect me.
I picked up my phone and messaged Adrian.
Me: I am ready.
His reply was immediate
Devil: That’s my Darling.
Hi readers, I hope you are enjoying the story as much as I am enjoying writing. I just want to request you all to be patient with Daphne and I am sure by the end of this. You all are going to love her. Please add this book to your library, so you won't miss any new updates. Thanks.
I was getting ready for school the next day and my phone pinged. Nobody tried to contact me after everything happened in the school and I was thinking that maybe it was one of them. But I was shocked to see the message. My hand trembled in rage not at him, but at me. He caught me in a vulnerable position and now I don’t have any way to protect myself. All the events of that night came rushing to me but I closed my eyes to keep myself steady. This is not the right time to fall in the rabbit hole. I took a deep breath and opened my phone. Devil : How’s my princess doing? Princess That idiot. He is making fun of me. Me: Planning your murder. Devil: Threatening will not take you far, Darling. Me: Ohh, It’s working fine for you. Devil: Whatever, Be ready I am picking you up. Me: Are you crazy? I am not going out with you. Devil: That’s good because I wasn’t asking. I am telling you. Be there at 15. Fuck! I don’t know what his deal was but he was crazy. Our schools were ri
Zander came toward me with measured steps and I eyed his advance, unsure of what I should do with this. “You came with Adrian?” he asked me with a puzzled expression. I snorted at him and decided to treat him like the way he treated me. I moved by his side and replied, “You have eyes, I am sure you saw that.” He followed me, “What why? And you and ..” he trailed off. “I don’t owe you anything. And certainly not an explanation.” After what you did to me, was silent in that statement. “But you never liked him,” he hissed. “And you know me that well.” I chuckled. “Yes, I do.” He took hold of my arm and dragged me to the empty classroom. “What is your fucking problem?” I snapped at him. “Yeah, exactly. What is your problem? Adrian, that person is one mean being. You are with him now. Did you forget he is the one who constantly teased you for everything?” He growled at me and cornered me to the wall. “Stop.” I tried to push him, but all in vain. “Tell me what is goi
Hunter threw my chair with his leg. And now was looking at me with indifference. Yeah, this was what I thought. They all were on the same team. I didn’t let the hurt show on my face, I smiled at him and lowered my voice, so only he could hear me. “I guess, I was only interesting till I was available.” With that, I left. I headed towards the bleachers. It was completely empty. Nobody wanted to get burned I guess. Thinking about what happened in the cafeteria made me sad. I know he saw me with Adrian, but I don’t care about them. I thought Hunter was different, but no. They all were the same, at least Adrian was true to my face. A lone tear rolled down my face, but I wiped it down. But there were many that were coming my way. I didn’t want to cry, but I couldn’t stop myself. Maybe God was taking my test and I was failing at it miserably. I sniffled, food all forgotten. Suddenly I was engulfed in a warm embrace, I was a little shocked. It was Tristan, somebody plac
A six or seven year old girl was smiling at me. I looked back at Adrian and he had a smile on his face. “Sorry, you have to sit at the back, because today it’s her chance.” He said sheepishly, I could see a blush rising on his cheeks. For the first time in my life, I have seen him so flushed. Without any question, I sat down at the back, and at the back, there was another surprise waiting for me. An exact replica of Adrian was looking at me, but he was his smaller version. He might be of the same age as the girl, sitting in front. “Hello, Darling.” he greeted me and I was taken aback. “Excuse me.” I sputtered,“Adrian told us his picking up his Darling, Are you not her?” he asked in an innocent tone, with disappointment on his face. I was speechless, I didn’t know how to react to this, how to answer him. I looked at both of their expected expressions, I took a deep sigh and said. “Yes, I am,” I answered and smiled at them. The smile that lit up on their face, was undefina
There was another bang, I was scared but not Adrian. He calmly buttoned up my shirt and kissed my forehead, before letting me go back to my seat. There was a crazy blond who was constantly hitting the car. Adrian got out of the car and I followed him. “What the heck is going on Adrian? You fucking kidding me right? Who the hell is she?” the girl shouted. “And who are you?” Adrian drawled while drawing me closer to him. The girl looked at me with venom in her eyes. “Isn’t she?..” she trailed off and then started laughing. “It's always been her right?” she said, and I was shocked. “I will ask again, who are you?” Adrian asked and by this point, I was completely aware that he knew she was, but he was just taunting her. “You are shameless,” she spitted at him and left. And then only I noticed that we were standing in front of the Spencer. “Who was she?” I asked him. “Why are you jealous?” he said while settling his hand on my ass. “In your dream Knight.” I said to
"Oh, god." I moaned again as Adrian inserted another finger inside my pussy. At this moment, I was on my window, with my bare back on. "Not God, it's me Adrian, your devil." He quickened his pace, leaving me breathless. He held me with my neck, and thrusted another finger, making me stand on my tip toes. All thoughts of Zander flew from my mind and all I cared about was Adrian’s finger in my pussy. "Ahhh," I screamed, "What Darling," He bit my ear lobe, leaving me spineless. "I..think.. I am gonna cum." I moaned again as he started plunging his fingers inside me ruthlessly. "Yes, cum for me. Always remember I am the only one who can make you feel like this." He grinned at me. "Yes..oh…ah.” I was not aware of what I was doing. "Tell me you are mine." He hissed at me. "Ahh, no." I said breathlessly. "Tell me.." he screamed and pinched my clit, I arched my chest at him. He kept the pressure on my pussy and at the same time prevented me from my release. "I want
“What?” I blurted out. “Yes, I was in my clinic and he messaged me that he saw Adrian entering your room.” Dad Nick answered me in a neutral tone. I gritted my teeth, he did all that only to get back at me. I will burn him alive, I let him go earlier thinking that I wronged him but now he will see my wrath. I will not let him go this time. This time I will make sure that he will get what is coming for him. “Little jealousy, I guess.” Adrian chuckled. “And you are okay with that?” Dad Mave asked him with narrowed eyes. “I am not and if you excuse me, I will like to teach him a lesson.” He smiled at them as if he was discussing the weather. I snorted at him. They all looked at me weirdly, because earlier I was crying and now I snorted. However, I wanted to deal with Zander on my own and decided to diffuse the situation. “Dad, I really like Adrian, Please don’t be mad.” I whined. “We are mad because we found you both…” Dad Mave trailed off. I blushed, thinking about how he f
“ I am not taking you with me. Go bug someone else.” Zander sneers at me. I can only see his back but I know him very well and his expressions. “ Please, Zan. We are already getting late and you know very well that I can’t drive.” I beg him. He turned around and like always my heart skipped a beat. Looking at him is always a new experience. His dirty blonde hair is smeared on his forehead, his one leg is already on a bike. He rolled his steel-gray eyes at me and huffed. “ Hurry up then. I am not going to wait for you.” “ You are the best Zan.” I grin at him and take a leap toward him. He smirked at me and before I could even understand what he was going to do, he revived the engine and left me standing in front of his house. I looked at his passing image and the ghost of his bike and sighed. It's always like this with him. The more I try to breach his walls, the harder he pushes me. I look at the time and I know I am getting late on the first day of school. I could ask f

After the shock of the confrontation melted I headed back to my class and tried my best to avoid the stares of my friends or I should say, ex-friends. It was hard to concentrate when there were more than a couple of eyes that were drilling holes in the back of my head. When lunchtime came, the dread in my stomach increased. What would be the new dynamics of the cafeteria and how would I fit in all of that? I cannot sit with Zander and others. I don’t think my heart can take that much. I took a deep breath and decided that I would go with the flow. I took my lunch and tried to find an empty table, but as I was so lucky nowadays, there were none. “Bleacher, it is then,” I muttered to myself and as I was about to turn, I was stopped in my tracks by a commanding voice that I am very familiar with. “Daph,” Hunter's voice echoed in the canteen and everyone fell silent. My eyes widened at this. If he was also going to insult me then the only way I would be able to deal with t
