I woke up and walked into the small bathroom to take my bath. After wearing my clothes, I decided to pull of the window cotton as it was a little dark.I sighed and was about to go back to bed, I had no intention of going outside today. My eyes caught something and I went back to see very well. Well I thought I saw Hunter's car outside the house. But I wasn't mistaken as I saw the man that I couldn't stop thinking of all night talking to my Mom outside. What was he doing here? I put on my flip flops and ran out of my room. I saw Hanna and Matt in the leaving room. We all exchanged greetings. "Who is he? Your mom and him seems to be arguing about something and I heard them mention your name "Matt asked"Excuse me " I said to him and walk out to where they are. "What are you doing here " I said to Hunter. "Lauren go back inside, I'm talking to Hunter" my mom said but I did not move.Hunter and I keep staring at each other, it was an intense gaze and I don't want to look away fr
PROLOGUE My name is Lauren Westbrook. I'm 19 and in my final year in highschool. My parents are not rich, we are poor. My dad doesn't work, he said it was his time to sit down and we take care of him. Cos he was once rich but later lost everything which he blamed my mother for. Whatever happened that time, I don't know cos they never told me. My mum is only doing a little job. She sells in the local market. And I work in three places.Early in the morning before going to school. I will branch to Grandma Jami's house to do all her house chores and make breakfast for her. She will urge me to eat before I leave for school. Her children do pay me at the end of the month. Then after school, I rush to the restaurant where I work from 4-7, after leaving the cafe, my night shift starts at Dark club where I work as a bartender. And then go home 9:oclock to do my assignment b
"Bye Grandma Jami " I shouted as I close the door behind me.I heard her old cracky voice say something but I was long gone. I don't want to get late to school again today.I rush to my locker and take out notes for the first period which is literature before going to my class.I sat down on my seat. My eyes met with Matt's. I flash him a small smile and face the front of the class. Matt is the only one I talk to in school and that's because we work in the same place, the Restaurant. I don't make friends, I just prefer to be alone. I was nicknamed as the lonely girl but I don't give a duck about it.Lunch time, I sat down in my usual seat, alone. Sometimes Matt will join me, but I guess today is different.I sighed when I saw Lisa and her crew coming towards my direction. They so much like to pick on me,and they never fail to show how much they hate me. Well almost the whole school hates me. Boys hates me because I
I woke up late today, cos it's Saturday. I use to have enough rest before going to work.I did my morning routine and put on a pair of jeans with a black shirt. Pack my hair up in ponytail. I stare at my self in the mirror before going out of my room.I was walking downstairs when I heard loud chattering coming from the living room.What's going on?The voice is not my dad's neither my mom's."When are you getting the fucking money " a deep voice yelled and I cringed.I quickly rush down to see what was going on."Please, we will pay, just don't hurt us " My mom say with tears in her eyes. She was on her knees begging some two hefty dangerous looking guys. One is blonde and the other has a brown hair."If you don't give the money now Ryder, we are going to hurt everyone you care about and then kill you " another man says this one is bald headed but he looked dangerous to
Hunter's pov"Did you bring her to the room? " I ask Cole and Jax."Yes " Jax answered."She tried escaping, we almost couldn't handle her, she's really feisty" Cole says."I know, that means we have to keep a close eye on her, she might tried escaping again right?" I ask."Yes ""Don't worry, leave it to me. ""You can leave now " I addI stood and head upstairs to see her. I made sure her room is a little close to mine.I opened the door to see her sitting on the bed with her head down. She's probably crying.Well, she will get use to it. People cry when they are in a new environment.She hasn't noticed me yet, so I used that medium to check her out.She's beautiful and have nice shape too. Well she got that from her mom and Ryder, they don't have any resemblance except the eye colour.I licked my lips and smile."Hey pri
Lauren.I was about to open a door which I think leads to the outside when I heard a voice "what are you doing "Hmm.It wasn't Hunter's if not I'll be shivering by now.I turn around, it was a lady. She was wearing a very short flair skirt and a silky material as blouse. I think she's a maid, cuz I've seen someone wear this kinda dress when they brought me in.She move closer."Give me that " she says pointing to the dish on my hand. I gave them to her."You must be lost "she says."Yes, I was looking for the kitchen to put those "pointing to the plates on her hands" but I guess I went the wrong way " I explained.She chuckles lightly, "that's the way to the balcony, not the way out. ""Oh, well this house is huge and this is my first time here, so it's normal " I said with a smile.You are really beautiful, want me to show you around the house "she says.
#LaurenThe next dayI was in the bathroom when an idea popped into my head. I climb on the toilet seat and slide the window open. Shit!. I forgot this is a storey building.I thought of escaping through the window, but there is another way though. I will just ask that my room to be downstairs.I smile and walk back to the room. Entering the room I met Nanny Lilo arranging something."Good morning Nanny Lilo " I greeted her cheerfully."Good morning darling, how was your night? "I shrug."Twas okay " I replied."Right, good thing you have taken your bath. Come downstairs for breakfast ""Sure, hm..can I ask for something ""What is it my dear?""I want my room to be moved downstairs, can you do that for me ""I'm so sorry I can't, you need Hunter's approval and I advise you don't ask him " she says.I groan.Now, I don't think this plan is going to wo
"Do you think I don't know what's going on in my mansion when I'm not home?!" Hunter yells at me.Right now I'm being tied to a chair and I'm in some kind of dark room. Obviously where Hunter kills people who go against him.And with the look of things, I think the same thing is going to happen to me."Well good for you " I muttered."Did you say something" he says and grab my chin his fingers press against my cheek, I moan in pain."You dare disrespect me, you don't know what I'm capable of " he growled.I cough as he releases his hand on my cheek and breath in heavily."I know what you are capable of Hunter, you can kill me and nobody will know " I scoff. "Right? "He smirk "Yes and I really wanna know your mom will react when she finds out you are dead, how Ryder will react... Oh I forgot he doesn't give a fuck about you."I cringe at the thought of my mother crying.
