Emilia Peyton"Mum, no please, no, Daddy no..." I scream as I wake up sweating profusely. I feel the tears on my face as I realize that it was another nightmare. This has been happening every night since the incident from that dreadful night 15 years ago. I know I should have forgotten the incident considering how long it has been but the image of that night is still fresh in my head, almost like it happened just yesterday.I check my phone and realize it's still 6am, which means I have two hours to prepare for work. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. I take my clothes off and stand in front of the mirror. I sigh as I take in my appearance."It isn't as bad as the last time I guess." I say looking at my reflection. The bruise is already beginning to fade away and I'm thankful to my uncle for only leaving one bruise on me. He always made sure he never left a bruise that will be noticeable to the others because he couldn't afford to put a stain on his image.I do my lady stuff be

Liam Kings" I'm not sure Liam, things aren't looking good on their side. I doubt they can even pay one percent, not to even ask for a full payment."

I had spent last night thinking of possible reasons as to why he would want me in Switzerland but none came to me. I guess I'll just have to find out myself.Taking one last look at my appearance, I take my luggage. Not knowing how much time I was going to be spending in Switzerland, I decided to just take a few clothes and shop for more if my stay got extended.I contemplate on taking a security team with me because whether I liked it or not, the media was interested in my family.

She must have heard wrong. “ What do you mean.” She asks looking directly at Liam’s father. He couldn’t be serious because as far as she was concerned, she was not going to be getting married anytime soon and even if she were, it was going to be with someone she loved. Not that she had any.“ Exactly what you heard dear.” Liam’s father says with a remorseful look that she couldn’t quite understand.“ Okay, okay, I think there’s a mix up here.” Aaron speaks up.“ Mr. Kings, I think you have the names all mixed up.
