Chapter 18

Oh god.

"Please, don't hurt them. I'd do it. I'd leave the country." I pleaded.

She smiled. "Then it's done. You'd leave in 30 minutes,  but you have to sign this, don't worry. It would be delivered to his office." She brought out a letter, a resignation letter.

I gulped. But shouldn't I be happy? I mean, I would be free from that bad debt and I'd have time with me and my family...

But the thought of leaving Xavier...

With a shaky hand, I picked up the pen and signed it. Her smile got wider. She sure smiles a lot.

"Okay, you can go now, there should be a car waiting outside for you by now." She mused.

I blinked the tears away, why was I even crying? stepping out of the office, so many things was running through my mind. I was going to miss my country.

A part of me was going to miss Xavier... What?

The lady who had led me in here was at the door, she led me back outside, and she looked at me with pity. I guess she knows her boss wasn't a good person.

Soon we reached outside, there was a huge black car there, the door opened when I was close to it.

I guess this was the car. I entered it, only to see the face of Layla, she looked worried and angry at the same time. On top of her was Carrie, who wasn't in her usual cheerful mood.

"Who are those people Lily? Like I didn't have enough problems? You've added more to my problems, ever since I met you it's been nothing but bad luck!" She sneered.

I know.

The vehicle started moving. I smiled at the fact that Carrie seems comfortable in her arms, and Layla was Caressing her...

"Why are you smiling?" She scoffed before saying.

"Nothing," I replied and she gave me a death glare.

Trust me if looks could kill, I'd have been six feet under by now...

My mind wandered off to Xavier, if he notice I was gone, would he find me? Would he forget about me? We drove for hours and hours. Just then the vehicle stopped.

The door opened and a guy motioned for us to come out. Was this another country? Of course not. It wasn't.

But, it was a hidden place. No one could ever suspect we live here.

We slowly climbed down the car. I noticed our bags in three of the guy's hands.

"Your phones." One demanded. Layla looked so angry, I was sure she was about trash them, I gave her a pleading look. This person could kill us and get away with it.

She scowled before bringing out her phone, I brought out mine too, the guys snatched it away before I could even stretch it out.

Rude.

The other guys took our things inside the house, it was small but it was nice for the three of us alone.

Two Weeks Later:

It's been two weeks since we have been staying here, our lives were quite normal, but it wasn't good. Good thing I saved the money I was earning from my old job.

I was wishing Xavier could just come from nowhere and rescue us.

Rescue?

Tears flowed down my eyes, did I like Xavier?

I think I do...

Who knows he might have already gotten married and forgotten I ever exist.

The thought of him getting married and forgetting about me brought nothing but pain to my heart.

I should stop thinking about these things, it's not good for me!

It was in the morning, I just got out of the bathroom wearing my home casual cloth. Layla and Daisy were still sleeping. Yep. I wake up every day before them.

I heard a knock on the door. Who was there? Nobody, I mean nobody ever comes to this place. Was it a burglar?

Xavier? Jesus, I have been thinking so much of Xavier, which is not good. I'm pretty sure he has already forgotten my name...

Stop. Just stop.

I went to the door and looked through the peephole. My heart jumped.

Jack.

How did he know I live here, a part of me wished it was Xavier... Should I open the door? I could always pretend as if no one was there.

He seems to be cold... I took a deep breath before opening the door. He smiled when he saw me. I pulsed my lips.

What did he want to say? I was expecting him to say something but instead, he came closer to me, pulling me closer, he hugged me.

I felt highly uncomfortable, i slowly shrugged him off. He looked disappointed when I did that.

I wanted nothing to do with him ever again, if he wasn't the father of Daisy, he wouldn't be here, right?

"How did you know I live here? What do you want?" It was rude of me. I mean, he hurt me two months ago... I have to be careful...

He smiled. "I had looked for you everywhere, Lily. I wanted to see you and my child." He said.

I gulped when he said, my child.

"She is asleep."

"I know, I would wait for her to wake up." He said.

"Okay," I replied.

"Lily....." He called.

I cleared my throat lowly before answering. "Yes?"

"....do you still love me?" He said. Wow, he went straight to the point.

"....no," I replied.

He looked taken aback.

"Ah... I see." He said walking closer to me. I backed back until I reached the wall, just great.

He trapped me to the wall. What was he going to do?

"Then who do you love, Xavier?" He sneered out Xavier's name.

How was it his business? "Yes," I replied... Truthfully.

He scoffed out a laugh.

"I would make you love me again, Lily. I won't let go of you, I would do anything to make you mine again." He said, I gulped.

He backed away, he turned around going out the door. Immediately after he left I walked to the door at locked it.

My heart was beating so fast.

Just 20 minutes later there was another knock, oh god. Had he decided to come back?

I peeped through the peephole. My heart stopped working.

Oh, shush! If it stops working would you still be alive?! My subconscious screamed at me.

I opened the door and behold was Xavier.
