Lucy's pov Rexford has been really tense this morning. I tried talking to him but it's almost like he doesn't want to answer me. I guess this is about his father being home. I put on a cute mini dress today. It’s after all summer soon.Rexford is downstairs telling something to Kendrick. "Just give me a day it will be done tomorrow" he says as I walk down. Kendrick doesn't like me. He looks disgusted as I come up behind Rexford . I hug Rexford from behind and in a second he turns to me. Our eyes meet. But this is sadder. "What is it?" I am worried for him. He shakes his head. "Nothing love" he says then stepping out of my grip. Huh.Kendrick watches us but I couldn't care less because what the hell is going on here. Rexford never backs up from me."I have to take a call, don't disturb me anyone" he says looking at me then walking to his office. What have I done?He leaves me and Kendrick alone. I look at him confused. "Don't look all surprised he's always been like this" is the on
* WEEKS LATER*I've had a lot of time thinking. Since my brother took over after dad I try to help him do some work. He's been pushing himself a lot lately.I bought a home for the first time in my life. It's pretty. Not at all what I thought I would go for when I bought my first home. It's open and has two floors. I don't use the second floor that much.I know my brother just moved into his home but I want him here. With me. He and Alice are all that I've got now so it would be amazing if Alex would move in with me. The whole second floor would be his since I don't even use it.He told me he would think about it so I hope that means yes.I don't think I can ever live alone. As for now I stay at Alice's but I don't want to be a burden to her. She has her life too so I will get out of her house as soon as the payment for my house goes through. Living alone would be so much thinking, too much actually.I can't get my mind off of him. It's like he's stuck with me. Rexford .But I am past t
I've spent a lot of time in school with Seth. And I think he likes me. He wants to talk to me all the time. And I try to stay away because I am not ready for something like this. I know a lot about him. He has a beautiful bond with his family. His family is so different from what I have ever experienced. And it all scares me because he is so different from me. He knows so little about my life but I know so much of his. I don't feel comfortable enough to tell him about it all. My past.My phone vibrates in my pocket. I answered the phone. "Want to hang out tonight?" Seth asks. I hesitate. Not knowing what to answer. I like him, I really do, I don't know what's stopping me. "Commonly, it'll be fun," he says. Maybe he is what I need right now. "Okay, but this time at Alice's place." I say as he agrees. I hang up the phone and walk home from school. He skips a lot of days. I guess it's because they need him at home.I open the door and step inside her house. "Alice my friend will be here
"I love it, have you seen the upstairs?" Alex asks loving the new house. Especially his room. "I'm happy you like it" I say smiling as I look around the house. It's not done but all the basics are there. "Could you see yourself living here?" I ask, nervous he will say no. I really want my brother to move in with me."Are you kidding me I'm moving in today, it's amazing Lucy, you really have good taste" he says making me smile. "I know I do," I say, giving myself credit."I will find a few guards to protect us" Alex says and I nod. He's been doing so good taking fathers role in the mafia. He tells me so little about everything that he does just because he knows I'm having a lot going on. Alex has been trained to take over after father all his life so it's nothing new to him. I'm happy it hasn't changed him. He's not and will never be evil.Oh. Seth also asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes.It's weird, we have only known each other for two weeks. But when he asked I panicked and j
CHAPTER 1Lucy's povBEEP BEEP BEEP"SHUT THE FUCK UP" I scream as I throw my alarm across my room till I hear it shatter. Shit I have school ahhhhhhh kill me now...not literally cuz I'll stamp on your head:)...As I got up I went to my bathroom to do my usual routine yanno showering, shaving all that shit as I wrapped my fluffy towel around me I step out of the bathroom and headed to my closet to pick out my first day outfitI decided to go with a cute lil graphic t shirt which I tied in a knot with a pair of high waisted jean shorts ( outfit up top ^^) I straightened my hair and applied some lip gloss,mascara and my silver hoops earringsI'm not really a fan of makeup so I keep it simple but I thank my mum for blessing me with naturally thick eyebrowsAs I put my Nike Air Force 1's on I head downstairs and say good morning to my parents"Lucy" My mom says with a serious face "Yes mama?" I say with a confused face she calls "where are you going dressed like that?"Oh yes meet my over
Chapter 2We all walk to the dining table to eat.It's quiet. But not peaceful but rather scary.My father has a way of dealing with things and he takes it out on this family.It's usually me he abuses because I'm old enough to take it he says. My brother got a lot of hits when he was younger. But we never ever let him touch Juliet. I can't let him do that."Have you two been training?" he asked, pointing between me and Alex."Yes we have" Alex answers. We both need to train on our skills. I'm good with punches and Alex likes using the gun.We train since we are in the mafia. "I don't want you guys to be weak".he says, looking at me. Father has never seen me as the strong one. That makes him mad, everything I do for the most part makes him annoyed.We finished eating."Lucy, let's go upstairs and talk". Father said to me and Alex had a worried look on his face.I moved after him and we both moved to his office. He takes a seat behind his desk and I stand In front of him."What do you w
CHAPTER 3I wake up in extreme pain on my back. I go to the shower and the hot water burns my wounds. I put cream that makes the wounds heal faster.There are no bruises on my arm, only my back. Juliet gets inside and I pull my shirt over my head as fast as I can." Are you hurt?" She asks innocently, no why I'm fine, I tell her hugging her."But you were screaming last night". She said scared. Father and I were just fighting. I'm really fine, I tried to convince her and I think it worked. Because she nods and gets back to reading her book.I get ready for school. The place I feel so safe at. A place where my father can never get near me.I get out of the house and our car drives me to school. Jayden is the first person to greet me at school. But I won't let him hug me because of the sharp pain in my back.At the last lesson, I took it. my phone out,6 missed calls. My father has called me 6 times today. I panic. I ask Mr. Morgan.If I can get out of class because of a family crisis. He
CHAPTER 4The house is far away from where I live. The rest of the ride was quiet when we arrived there was an enormous mansion in front of me. A white one. And here I thought his house would be black too.He opens the door and steps in not holding it up for me, so the door almost slammed right on my face. I follow him up a big staircase and walk towards a door. "This is your room, get in and don't disturb me ever, "he said pointing at the door. I hate this man."Are we staying in separate rooms?" I ask not because I would want to stay with him but that's just for the thought. First of all, I thought he would be an old man."Did you have something else in mind?" he said and suddenly I felt embarrassed. "No of course not, I'm relieved actually," I say, folding my arms."You sleep where you want," he says and I nod as I enter the room.I don't want to get him angry. He could do anything at any time. And since he does hate me I should be careful.My room is cozy and it has a big bed in
