Chapter 20

Author's POV

Ryan was sitting in the garden. He was looking at Elena who was counting flowers and sometimes running after the butterflies.

Ryan smiled at her and then looked down at his phone. He was waiting for Stephen's call. He had ordered him to find her family.

"Prince" Elena shouted suddenly

Ryan was startled and looked up at her. He found her standing in front of him with a red rose.

"Is it for me?" Ryan asked her

Elena nodded happily and forwarded the flower towards him.

Ryan got a little nervous because it was the first time someone was offering him flowers.

"Thank you," Ryan said and took the flower from her hand.

"Mr. Knight" Someone called him from the back. Ryan turned and saw one of his housekeepers standing there.

"What is it?" Ryan asked.

"Mr. and Mrs. Anderson want to meet you. They are standing in front of the gate. The security asked for your permission" The housekeeper said

"What are they doing here?" Ryan muttered under his breath.

"Let them come. Told them to wait in the living room" Ryan said.

The housekeeper nodded and left from there.

"Elena" Ryan called her.

"Yes" Elena replied cutely

"Come," Ryan said

Elena runs towards him and holds his hand.

Ryan smiled when they entered the mansion.

When they entered the living room where Jack and Nancy were waiting. Elena tightened her grip. Ryan looked at her and saw fear was visible on her face.

She was looking at them with shock.

Before Ryan says something, Nancy stood up and ran towards Elena.

"No. Prince" Elena shouted and hugged him.

Ryan wrapped his hand around her possessively and looked at Nancy.

"What are you doing here?" Ryan asked.

"Baby, come to momma" Nancy spoke up avoiding Ryan's question.

Hearing this Ryan got shocked.

"Mr. Knight, thank you so much for saving my daughter. We are very grateful to you" Jack spoke up.

"Is she your daughter?" Ryan asked him

"Yes. She is our daughter. We lost her last night. She ran away. You must be aware by now that she has a mental problem" Jack said to him.

"I did not know, you have two daughters, Mr. Anderson. And if she is your daughter then why she is scared of you?" Ryan asked him

"She is not scared. She is angry with us. Let us take her home" Nancy said and tried to touch Elena but she shouted and hugged Ryan more tightly.

"I don't believe your excuse that she ran away from home. I believe you can hire some security to guard your home" Ryan said

"Mr. Knight, you know we are businessmen. In our business world, every rival tries to hurt us using our weak points. Elena is my weak point. I did not want my rival to get to know about her. It will put her in danger. And Elena did not run away from home. She ran away from a beauty salon. My wife and my other daughter Linda were with her. But she somehow ran away" Jack said to him.

Ryan looked at Jack and spoke up, "Why did Robert introduce Elena as his daughter?"

"Elena is my adopted daughter. My father adopted her. Robert was my dad's lawyer. He often used to visit our home. He used to love Elena as his daughter maybe that's why he introduced her as his daughter Mr. Knight. Now can I take her home?" Jack asked him

"You can but with her permission. If she wants to go with you then only you can take her from here" Ryan said

"You can not keep my daughter here like this. You have no right to do it" Nancy said to him more like shouting at him

"You guys also don't have the right to abuse her. I saw scars on her back. She told me you guys abused her" Ryan shouted back.

"We never abuse her. She did this to herself. Didn't I mention she has a mental problem? We love our daughter so much. Did you believe this mental girl over us? For god's sake she is like a kid" Jack said to him.

"And everyone knows kids never lie. They are innocent" Ryan said.

"Mr. Knight, you are interfering in our private matters. I respect you but it is our family matter and I want to keep it private. If we did not love her then we never keep her with us till now. Not only this I have given her 40 percent shares of my company. Now, do you still think I don't love her?" Jack asked him.

Ryan kept looking at Jack and then smiled.

"Alright, then take her. But I want to know something" Ryan said

"What?" Jack asked him

"Why did you invite black-listed businessmen at your party that too in my hotel? What was your motivation? What are you doing with them?" Ryan asked him

Jack gulped hearing it.

"They were in this town so I thought to invite them but I am sure they would never attend the party. It was my success party. I wanted to invite all the businessmen. I have invited you too, Mr. Knight" Jack said.

Ryan smiled upon hearing it.

"From when you started thinking they are part of our business world, Mr. Anderson?' Ryan asked him.

Before Jack says something Ryan's phone starts ringing.

Ryan took out his phone and saw it was Stephen.

Ryan picked up the call and spoke up," Stephen I got to know about her family. I will talk with you later"

"Sir...wait" Stephen requested before Ryan disconnected the call.

"What?" Ryan asked him

"Our workers were delivering the last products to ### limited but some people attacked them middle of the road and set fire to our trucks. One worker is dead and the rest of them are admitted to the hospital. Their conditions are not good. Our all products turned into ashes. Sir, we need to go there" Stephen said making Ryan shocked.

"Prepare the jet right now," Ryan said and Jack smirked evilly.

"Is everything okay, Mr. Knight?" Jack asked Ryan faking a worried face.

"I need to leave for Portland right now. You can take your daughter" Ryan said.

"Prince, I will not go with them," Elena said fisting his shirt.

"Elena, I need to leave now. I will come to meet you as soon as possible. Be a good girl and go with them. I will come soon" Ryan said to her.

"Promise," Elena said

"Promise. I will come" Ryan said then he looked at Jack and spoke up, "I want to know about her mental condition. We will discuss it when I will come back. Hope you don't have any problem with it" Ryan said.

"Of course not. You can come anytime. Honey come now" Jack said looking at Nancy.

Nancy nodded and held Elena's hand then they left from there.

Ryan kept looking at Elena until he heard the sound of the jet. Taking his suit Ryan comes out.

Stephen opened the door for him. Ryan gets in and soon the jet takes off.....

Jack smirked looking at the jet took out his phone and put the phone on her ear.

"Good job, baby," Jack said.

"Bring the bitch here Dad," Linda said.

"On our way baby," Jack says and gets in the car then he starts the car.

After an hour

As soon as they entered the living room, Linda pinned Elena roughly against the wall.

"You bitch, how did he know you have scars on your body? Did you sleep with him you whore?" Linda asked and slapped Elena.

Elena screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Linda was about to kick her stomach but Jack held her hand.

"No. They want her without any scars on her face and body. They are coming tonight. Leave her" Jack said.

Linda gritted her teeth and left from there.

"Lock this bitch in her room. Don't let her run away this time" Jack said looking at Nancy.

Nancy nodded and dragged Elena from there.

Jack sat down on a couch and called one of the buyers.

"Sir, I have found her. She is with me now. You can buy her anytime now. But I want the full price before you touch her" Jack said.

"Check your balance. I have already sent the money. We are coming tonight to take her" The buyer said and disconnected the call.

Jack smirked and spoke up, "You will pay a big price for your sympathy, Mr. Knight. You think you can come back after seeing the workers but no. I have planned another work for you"

Saying this Jack called his man.

"Sir, the first work is done," The man said.

"God. Now burn the Knight branch of Portland. Make sure the workers stay inside the office when you set fire" Jack said

"As you want sir," The man said

"You will get your payment as soon as you settle this matter and don't leave any evidence," Jack said and disconnected the call.

"Is everything okay?" Nancy asked him and sat beside her.

"Yes. Where is the bitch?" Jack asked

"At her room. This bitch is nonstop saying her so-called prince will punish us for hurting her" Nancy and Jack laughed.

"She never going to see him again," Jack said

"Yeah. Tonight, we will rid of our all problems" Nancy said and Jack nodded.

After few hours

At night

Jack and Nancy were sitting in the living room waiting for the buyers when they heard the car horn.

"They are here. Go inside. I don't want that bastard to see you" Jack said

Nancy nodded and left from there.

Soon the buyers entered. Jack greeted them.

"Hell with your formalities. Where is the bitch?" One of the buyers asked Jack

"In her room," Jack said and pointed toward her room.

The buyers nodded and started walking towards the door.

When they opened the door and found Elena was talking with a picture. Elena looked at them scared.

"Hmmm...this bitch is more beautiful than we expect," One of the buyers said

"Who are you?" Elena asked them

"You will come to know it very soon baby. Now come here" One of the buyers said

"No," Elena said

"I said come here" The buyer repeated

"No. Go from here" Elena said and tried to run away from there but one of them held her hand tightly.

"Do you think you can run again you bitch?" He said

"Leave me" Elena shouted and bit his hand.

The buyer shouted and left her hand. Elena tried to run away but the other buyer held her hand and pushed her back.

"Bloody bitch" The buyer shouted in pain.

"This bitch is feisty. I thought I will do it after reaching there but this bitch needs a lesson. We need to break the wings of this bitch" The buyer said and looked at Elena.

"Prince, Lina" Elena shouted when they started coming closer to her.

One of the buyers holds her jaw roughly and spoke up, "After some time you will forget how to shout, you bitch"

"Leave me, prince" Elena shouted again.

"Shut up" One of the buyers shouted and slapped her.

"My prince will come. He said he would come" Elena said making them angrier

"Really! Then call him. Call him you bitch. Tell you, prince, to save you" The buyer said and slapped her again. Elena fell to the ground and her head hit her bed.

Elena screamed in pain.

"Close her mouth. This bitch is too loud" The buyer said to his partner.

His partner nodded and tried to tie a cloth to her mouth when Elena spit on his face making him furious.

The buyer started beating her mercilessly avoiding her pleas and cries.

When Elena becomes numb in pain they get rid of their dresses then they start tearing her dress.

Elena was crying her heart out feeling so helpless while the buyers removed the clothes from her body and licked their lips seeing her bare body......
