I was starting to lose my breath and I needed oxygen more than anything now. I gathered all my power and kicked his chest with my leg, which pushed him to take a step back. I was breathing heavily sitting on the ground with my hands placed on my neck glaring at him.
He was fascinated but also irritated by my vicious attitude, which caught his attention. He glared at me from above and walked away as if he found satisfaction from looking down on me while I was trying hard to regain my breath. Fuck him, who does he think he is?
No one was anywhere to be seen on the second floor; I gave up on going to the bathroom and went back to my room. This day was shitty enough; I didn't need it to get any shittier. I felt angry and mad, I wanted to teach this boy a lesson but I knew that getting on his nerves will not do me any good just as Mark has told me, he is fuckin insane.
I grabbed my mobile phone knowing that calling the police will not be helpful at all, it wasn't when I called them before and it won't be now. If a few bucks prevented them from arresting my father then a billionaire will have it easy.
I glanced from the window and counted the guards outside, there were 20 guards that I could see, and that was a mere side of the mansion, I do not want to even imagine their total amount. The ground was far away since I was on the second floor, jumping will result in a bone getting broken. My best option at the moment is to wait for college's time.
I opened the wardrobe to hang my clothes and was surprised when I found several outfits in there as well; they all were my size, which pushed me to think that this kidnapping thing was planned. I was too tired to think anymore so I wore my pajama and jumped in a bed that was the size of my room back at my old house.
I woke up due to the sun rays that tickled my face, I didn't realize I was that tired, I slept right after I placed my head on the pillow. I do not usually need to set an alarm, my biological clock is very dependable so I always wake up at this time; six and a half am. I wore my clothes and was earnest to find the bathroom.
I opened several doors walking along the hall but none of them led to the bathroom, I opened the door of the fourth room and unluckily spotted Shawn who was shirtless and was putting on his pants. He glared at me and walked in my direction but I quickly slammed the door and entered the room next door, which was, fortunately, a bathroom.
I locked the door, he kept knocking on it but I totally ignored him, I brushed my teeth with a clean toothbrush that I found in my room and washed my face, I looked in the mirror and I looked fabulous for someone who just woke up. My hair was long and dark black; I had big grey eyes, a petite figure, and a rounded cute face with a sharp jawline that highlighted my face.
My eyelashes were long and I weighed 46 kilos, for an 18 years old girl that is considered below average. I cleaned myself and I headed out assuming that the Shawn guy left but as soon as I opened the door, he pushed me inside and closed the door behind us.
" What are you doing?" I shouted. He placed his hands covering my mouth and cornered me to the bathroom's wall.
" I heard all about it from dad, do you think you will be able to meet my standards? You better wake up before you get entangled in something you that exceeds your power." He growled warningly enjoying towering over me. He removed his hand that covered my mouth to hear my reply.
" If you want to see me out that badly then all you have to do is hide your dating life and show your dad that you will work hard from now on, the solution lies in your hand. In addition, if you did not move away, Mark will come upstairs to fetch me for breakfast. I believe you don't want to be misunderstood." I explained.
" You don't know my dad, it's not just about work. You will understand very soon." He mumbled in a voice that I could hear and then exited the bathroom.
I did not understand what he meant but I did not have a good feeling about it. I hope that things do not get any more complicated.
I went downstairs and followed Mark who waited for me. We soon entered a hall where there is a huge table right in the middle. Mark motioned me to sit next to his master whom I knew was called Gerald. Shawn was already seated across from my chair.
" Why aren't you wearing the clothes in your closet?" Shawn's father asked not bothering to look at me.
" I prefer to wear my own clothes," I replied.
The whole room stared at me, this is the second time this happens and it makes me nervous every time.
" Let me rephrase it for you young girl, go wear the clothes in your closet," he said but I was not used to taking orders yet so I acted slowly. He stood up from his seat and headed to a maid and slapped her strongly on the face. I placed my hands over my wide-open mouth not able to process what happened.
The maid fell to the floor and blood appeared on her face, I ran to her rescue pulling her up and we headed to my room together.
" Don't tell me that happened because of me?" I asked putting on a violet blouse and boyfriend jeans.
" It seems that Master admires you a lot, Miss." she replied with a broken voice.
I did not even understand what that means.
I got down but found out that they had already finished eating; the cook gave me a toast to eat in the car since I would be late if I sat down and ate in the kitchen. I was sitting in the car, it is the first time that someone ever drives me somewhere and I have to say that it was a nice experience.The driver opened the car's door and I stepped out, the college was huge, I heard about its name before but it is my first time seeing it. My friends from my old college called me when I was passing the college's gate." Hey, Lily. Where are you, it is already past 7, the first section will start soon." Diana, my childhood friend stated." I won’t go for a while. I will meet with ya soon, we will talk then."" Okay."I doubted for some reason that my mobile could be hacked, I had that feeling and I did not want to risk saying something I should not have that would reach Gerald's ears. It seems that he hit the maid just to force me into
There was a gap before the next prof enters so we took the chance and started choosing our topic for the debate. We gathered all 10 to choose a suitable one." What do you think of animal testing? It suits our field and it is a major topic." Alicia stated."No, I would hate the opposite group if they chose to be with animal testing," Penny said." Who told you that your own group would even be against it?" George joked." No, just choose something else for god's sake, I will cry a river if you chose that one," Penny argued." What about; gambling should be illegal." Shawn proposed. The word 'gambling' rang through my ear, which could not be a mere chance. I bet his dad already told him about how I got here. What a fuckin asshole!" I agree, I agree," Molly said and it was obvious that she only agreed because it was Shawn's idea." I don't mind." George and Alicia replied and we ended up choosing that topic." Our group wo
As soon as his head got too close to mine, I head-butted the bridge of his nose which caused him to raise his head placing his hands on his nose as it probably stings by now, I quickly passed by him and got out of the room. " You know this is your room, right? You will eventually come back." He shouted. I decided to go speak with Gerald to see for myself what is he talking about. I headed to his office and knocked on his door, he granted me permission to go in and I stepped into the office then sat on the armchair facing Gerald who was immersed in some papers. " What do you need?" He asked coldly as he pushed the papers aside to focus on our conversation. I had a lot to ask but facing him like that made me forgot what I wanted to say, his aura is so dominating. I have to be careful from now on when dealing with him and choose my words carefully. " I heard that you might want to marry me off to your son," I stated honestly. " So?"
A hand was holding mine, I opened my eyes slowly and spotted the maid from yesterday. It seems that she slept from fatigue due to looking after me.Looking after me? She was taking care of me. It is my first time being taken care of. This thought kept repeating itself in my mind again and again. I didn't want to wake her up by pulling my hand so I just admired her facial features as I waited for her to wake up. After a while, she woke up and yelled when she spotted my eyes wide open." Why did you shout?" I asked placing my hands on my ears from the sound." I am sorry... I was shocked, I am really sorry," she begged." Hey. Hey... No worries, I am not mad, I wanted to thank you for what you did."" No need, I am just a mere maid, it’s my job." She replied.I caressed her face and kissed her forehead. She flinched from my reaction but I could see a smile being drawn on her smooth lips." You are not a mere maid, you are the deci
What I forgot to tell you about myself guys is that I used to train in an underground fighting club, my coach was so strict and he taught me several techniques not to only defend myself but to also become an aggressive individual who permits no one to mess with him. I may look cute but I lost my feminine side a long time ago, I had to learn how to fight if I did not want to be killed, robbed, raped, or even have my organ extracted in my notorious neighborhood. My coach recognized that my petite body would not be convenient to me so he taught me another deadly technique that does not necessitate body strength. I always walked with a sliver dagger that I won in one of the fighting contests but I lost it three days before I was kidnapped by Mr. Gerald. I have a hunch that my dad found it and sold it somewhere. The guys standing around me were huge, I can't defeat them by mere force, I have no dagger and they outnumber me. I decided that the best opti
His breath was intoxicating, he kept licking my ear and stopped speaking, I think he is now focused on something else much more important due to his animalistic instinct." Shawn?" I moaned as he bit my ear just at the same time." If you call my name like that, would you think I will listen to whatever you will say next?" He asked in a husky voice that managed to turn me on at this point in time.I am no angel and his touch was doing thin
Lily's POV:I was still flustered even after a 20 minutes car ride, I was about to lose it back there, thanks god nothing happened. I would not have forgiven myself, I may not be able to understand how the rich people think but I do not care even if I did; he has a girlfriend and I should respect that.In addition, I don't want a stupid choice out of temporary feelings and an instinct drive to ruin my future. I never wanted an arrogant husband who
My friends were drunk and passed out on the counter; I was in the toilet making an important phone call. I called Tony, someone whom I can't really describe our relationship as friends since it was a little bit different. Tony was the one who passed me the dagger; he also helped me to deal with some problems in the underground ring club. He does not do anything for free though, it's not weird since it is his job. " Lily, It's been a long time; I heard you were sold out by your father, is it true?" " It's a long story, I would like you to tell me whether the whole thing was plotted or if it happened just due to mere luck, the one he was indebted to is Gerald Finland, you must know who he is," I stated. " Of course I do, I don't mess with big shark though. I will be fucked up if caught and with someone like him, I would," he replied. " I will guarantee that you won't get killed, he is an acquaintance of mine so if you told him my nam
After half a year.The rain was pouring heavily; I was standing between Kenny and Shawn holding a sad expression on our faces. The weather was sharing my sorrow and my heart was heavier than ever. I was trying to not cry but as usual, I ended up wetting the ground beneath me. I never thought that I would be this distressed over my father's death since I always wished for it.In the last six months, Kenny and I invested a lot of time for dad, we were spending most of our time together as if we were compensating for our previous years. We wanted to relive an experience that we wished for when we were kids. The German doctor could not realize the impossible, it was already known that dad would die and that is exactly what happened.After the funeral, Shawn asked all the attendants who were all from my side to come and spend the night in the mansion. He knew that dad's death left an empty space in my heart and that I need to fill it with ot
Lily's POV:When I saw those eyes of my brother, I knew right away that he would not want to visit dad. I forced him to accompany me to the hospital as I told Shawn what happened exactly since I have been kidnapped. He ordered his men to bring Siergo to his feet so he would be punished respectively.Shawn waited in the hall for us after he ordered Jack to go back home, I informed my brother about how dad was pressured and that the only reason he treated us badly was because; I am illegitimate and Kenny always took his mother's side even though she betrayed him.I kept convincing him that we have to be by his side on his death bed. Eventually, he gave in to my exasperation and agreed to check up on him with me. We both entered his room, dad was arguing with the doctor to let him leave but the doctor refused."I am telling you, I do not care whether I live or die just let me go," he yelled."Why don't you care?" Shawn replied, he o
Shawn's POV:I asked the same prosecutors I threatened to get my dad in prison to release him, I felt humiliated when I did so. I was so angry that I kept imagining killing my dad; I wanted to practice the scene in my head. I waited for him to get out of prison; he eventually appeared from behind the gate."I can tell from your face that you can't even wait to go elsewhere, you can shoot me here if you want," he ridiculed."Get in the car," I ordered.I was taking him to the nearest excluded place which was the warehouse across the prison, we accessed it and I parked my car. Just when I was ready to shoot him, a lot of bodyguards came in running towards me, I didn't give a shit about it and still aimed at my father. To my surprise, he was carrying a gun himself.How did he get a gun? How did he even contact his men in prison when he can only contact one person a day and that was me, I wondered."You must be perplexed by now, I was rel
I reached the hospital and the nurse led me to the ICU in order to see my father. I entered the room to spot him lying on his bed, he was still unconscious. The doctor told me that he has stage four liver cancer from all the alcohol he drank during his lifetime, he has only six months left to live at most and this stage can not be treated."How did he come here?" I asked."He lost his consciousness on the streets and someone brought him here,"I recalled that I have to call Shawn as soon as possible; I should not be the reason why Gerald get out of prison, that is not why I came back. I did not know Shawn's number though so I was in a tight spot.I checked up on dad one last time and asked the doctor to not let him out of the hospital until I come to get him myself. I gave them my account number and paid online for my father's hospital fees. I decided to quickly rush to the mansion and ask someone to contact Shawn for me. I did as planned and took one of
Shawn's POV:I know that beating the man inside the van for facts was useless; I checked my phone waiting for a phone call. Her brother looked my way as if he understood why I stood in silence; he seemed to wait for the same phone call.My phone rang as expected, I had already sent my men to look up CCTVs and check all of the vans' locations but I knew better than anyone that this will not work because it will take us a lot of time that we do not have."Do you miss me?" Gerald asked from the other side of the line."Out of bail?""No, but you will get me out soon," as Gerald was saying that sentence, my assistant informed me that his case would go to court."I see that Siergo's betrayal didn't really get you anywhere," I ridiculed.Before Tony called me to inform me about Lily's coming back and her flight, I received a call from my men at Siergo's house. I was told that the doctor has been killed and that
I made my brother a cup of tea, even though it has been a long time since I have last seen him but strangely enough after what he has told me. I felt really comfortable sitting by his side, he kept telling me about how he spent those past years. As soon as he reached France, he worked as a waiter since he did not have enough money to continue his education.Gerald got him an apartment but did not give him any money; he started from zero until he bought a house in a nice street after becoming the restaurant's manager. He mentioned that he was offered an arranged marriage with a girl he liked but he refused since he did not want to be responsible for anyone anymore.He dated for fun and also presumed his karate training even in France. He taught kids how to fight in a dojo he knows from time to time. I was proud that he managed to straighten his life even though it was hard for him to do so.I told him about how Gerald forced me to marry his son and took ove
The man was tall, thin, and black-haired with light grey eyes that matched mine. His look was hot-blooded and his face screamed no mercy. I recall these features very well; this man is no one else other than my brother."I am sure you know who I am, sis," he pronounced the word 'sis' as easy as drinking water, what gives him the right to call me that?"I am sorry, I think you got the wrong person," I retorted while passing by him unlocking my door.I closed the door behind me but before I knew it, he was already inside slipping swiftly with her thin figure."Are you deaf, get out," I spat out to his face."I did not expect this reaction, I thought you would show me tears of happiness if I showed up like that," he started."Do you think I am the same fragile little girl from before? Why would I even waste my time and talk to you,""So you know who I am," he smirked.Fuck him, he is really wishing for a beating."Wha
Shawn's POV:The police knocked on our door as predicted, it seems that dad could not prevent his arrest at least, he must have struck a deal somehow, I needed to know who are those persons if I wanted to get them on my side. I placed a wire in his office and I indeed knew whom exactly did he call.They took him away in their patrol car and I had twenty-four hours to work out on keeping him there. I called Siergo to make sure that the doctor is held safely at his place, I have instructed him yesterday that he must protect him at all cost, he is our sole witness after all.Gerald killed his brother and I sent the evidence to the prosecutors already, I have tortured the doctor to confess. I also threatened him with his family and promised him protection if he becomes our witness.The doctor mentioned that Gerald was having a dispute with his brother, Indigo was mad that Gerald hid his daughter from him all this time and told him that
I was in the airport waiting for my flight to arrive, it was 6 pm and I bet Shawn would be going back home by now. I wonder what would his reaction be when he reads my letter. An hour has passed; I got on board and leaned in my seat as I grabbed tightly my small backpack.I never had a lot of belongings and it seems that I will never have, I am going to a new country where I know no one there. All alone, I am supposed to cope with the environment and succeed in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I kept thinking of Shawn all the ride long, as I reached France, Paris; I checked my account to find a million in cash in my bank account.I guess Gerald wanted me to never come back for real, it is not like I thought he wouldn't but it just hurts me whenever I think of that old geezer and how he managed to ruin my life.I unpacked in an apartment that I have rented until I find a nicer permanent home. The room was clean and that all I needed, I was not picky,
