Chapter 4

"Dad, are you willing to sell me off for your debts?" Mabel couldn't believe that she was saying this to her father, her own biological father.

"Hmm" his father mumbled as he raised his brows at her. He seemed indifferent towards his own daughter. Alexander didn't felt a bit guilty even though he saw tears in Mabel's eyes nor did was he h nor did was he happy to see her cry. There was a non-expressable frown in his heart.

Mabel's eyes welled up with tears. She don't what happened to the man who used to say that she was the apple of his eyes. What happened to the man who used to go out to buy ice cream for her in the middle of the night just because she take the name once.

Is he really my dad?

How come he became such a man? Why did he changed so much?

These thoughts were a knife that pierced her heart with the most pain possible. She never had any answers for her questions.

"Mr. Moore, Mr. White you can take her wherever you want, she's all yours" Alexander said sweetly as he pushed Mabel a bit towards them.

Just as Edward White extend his hand to get hold of Mabel, Alexander pulled her back.

"I would prefer take and give" Alexander shamelessly demanded.

At that time only did Mabel noticed that those men had a huge briefcase beside them. He handed it to Alexander with a slightest nod.

As Alexander saw the briefcase, there was a shine in his eyes and he quickly pulled Mabel towards them as he grab the briefcase. He take the in his hand and soon opened it. His eyes lit up with excitement as he saw that the briefcase was full of money.

On the other hand, Mabel felt so hurt that she couldn't even produce a sound, only silent tears fall down her cheeks helplessly.

Edward White smilingly put his hand on Mabel's shoulder. Mabel looked at his hand and felt hatred and anger. She quickly slapped his hands off the shoulder.

"Don't touch me, I'm not going anywhere with you" She screamed.

Her scream pulled Alexander back to reality. He felt angry that Mabel was trying to disrupt his daydream. He glared at her as he shouted "Don't make a fuss Mabel, Or else..."

"No, dad. I'm not going anywhere"

With that Mabel ran up to her room and locked herself in. Alexander ran behind her but he couldn't get to her.

"Open the door Mabel" Alexander Banged on the door loudly and continuously as if was playing a drum.

"I said open it, damn it" Alexander kept banging and cursing outside the door while inside Mabel shrink into a corner afraid that the old door will come broken in few more bangs and she won't have a place to hide. She hugged her knee and head at once and sobbed in a corner.

'First, I got a kick from dad and then kicked out of the job. And now he wants to sell me off? There is nothing to get worse Ivy, please come out" Mabel pleaded her wolf.

Ivy looked at her pitifully, she was hurt too with what her dad did but she didn't get out. She just looked at Mabel quietly. Mabel knew the answer looking at her quite wolf. She smiled helplessly and closed her eyes.

Outside the door her father kept banging until someone put a hand in his shoulder. He turned around to see Mr. White and Mr. Moore was right there frowning at him. Not only them, this time there were three more men behind them.

Alexander smiled apologetically as fear lingered around his eyes. He was afraid that they could harm him. So to save his ass, he tried to assure them "I'm sorry Mr. White, Mr. Moore. I'll get her out.."

"No need." Mr. Moore spoke up cutting him off. He seemed serious "Now since we have already paid you, she'll be our responsibility now"

Mr. Moore, he... his eyes are cold. Even Mr. White... he isn't smiling like before.... What happened to them?

Alexander felt chills as he looked at the two men in front of him. He felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Go get her" Mr. White ordered the three men and then turned around to leave. Mr. Moore followed him right behind him.

Alexander looked at the guards who barged in through the old doors of Mabel's bedroom. For the well trained wolves like them, it wasn't hard to break the door nor was to pick up Mabel out of there.

Mabel was screaming and fighting to escape but she couldn't overthrow the powerful men who took her away in shoulder as if she was as light as air.

Through the tearful eyes Mabel saw that her dad was standing in the door of her bedroom, looking at her with unreadable emotions in his eyes.

Mabel was taken into the car and thrown at the back seat with her hands and legs tied up. And soon the cars moved far away from her house.

..............................................

In the car, there was now total silence. Mabel had stopped sobbing long time ago. She knew it was no use to cry. She felt like her life was over, it was better to end life than being someone's slave.

"Don't think nonsense Mabel.... Who knows if something good might happen to you as well" Ivy felt annoyed as she heard her thoughts. Mabel really was weak, she is always thinking about ending life.

Hmph... Mabel scoffed at Ivy's words. After all this, she still had hope for something good? Wasn't that something of a irony?

But again Mabel was disappointed at Ivy too. She really don't wanted to entertain her answers. - what was the point of having her wolf if she can't come out to help whenever she needed help?

"Buzz buzz"

The silence of the car was broken by the continuous buzzing of the mobile phone.

Mr. White soon become active and reach his hands to fish out his phone from his pocket. He looked at the screen which was showing "Mrs. Taylor".

"Hello ma'am"
