★★JAYDEN★★
I rested for a while in the bushes before pulling myself up to go back to my house, The whole room smelt of the old food. I switched on the light and staggered to my room, sitting while backing the mirror, I feel so lazy. I looked at the wound on my back, it's so painful, did she take out my flesh along with the bullet?
After having a bath, I tried sleeping, but I had insomnia. I took some pills to help me rest, but it didn't have any effect on me, my damn eyes were still wide open, I walked around, till the time hit 2:00 in the morning and I went to look over the window,
The girl who helped me was sitting outside, she was shivering, why would she sit outside at this time of the night, "Useless." I thought, but then again, she may be outside for losing the bedsheet with her, and staying out Till that time while helping me.
I am not to pity anyone, I just feel bad for the fact that I forced her to help me and now, maybe her family must have driven her because of that.Which parents do that to their children? Oh... I remember, my father used to do more worst to me. He told my mother that he doesn't believe am their son, Maybe he thought their son was changed in the hospital?
I stared at the scar in my arm, the feelings started, I felt sour again like I would only feel better after killing someone.
I can remember how bad my father used to treat me, he would lock me in the room without food for days because he says I am Rebellious, not the son he wanted.My mother would sneak in to give me food. He always said I was the dull one, but now, I'm so rich that I could buy the whole of the family and the properties in their names along. At least what I thought.I picked a blanket and made my way outside, ‘I should give this to her so she doesn't get sick.’
"Take..." I said and stretched out the blanket to her reach.
She slowly opened her dull eyes staring at me, her pale face made it more like she wasn't well, but again, she was this pale when I found her the first time.
"I didn't ask for it. who are you?" she said.
Wait, she's the take-out girl from that restaurant. She has the most innocent look, I think she should be about sixteen. 'Jayden, you're so shameless, you forced a teenage girl to help your wounds.’ I scolded myself hard, with the urge to slap my face, sighing a bit as I felt I had a conscience, after all these years of never looking back, even though the Others thought I was wrong, I tried moving closer, but she turned her face to the other side.
"Her kid...!" I called her, as I did not know her name.. "I'm trying to help you out so you don't catch a cold, you're giving me an attitude? Insolent." I murmured the last word.
She was still quiet. I get pissed off easily, and it seems like she's fine and won't be needing my help so...
I went back in. She can fuckin' freeze to death, I don't care.Finally, I started to feel a bit tired, it was time to sleep.
★★★
"Hello, Gabriel?" I called the person from the other end of the phone... He was yawing over the phone. A lazy man. "Don't you think you should be up by this time?!" I didn't think he heard me clearly, and I finally lost my cool, yelling over the phone."I'm awake! I'm the awake boss" he said.I opened the bottle of alcohol, smelled it, harsh, just like I Preferred...
I walked to the dining in the living room, sitting on the edge of the table with one leg on."Gabriel, I want you to get me something..."
"Yes, boss..."
I want a forged paper of Wayne's construction company-"
"Boss, isn't that too dangerous?" He interrupted. I think he might have forgotten who the boss is, maybe due to my absence.
"Never interrupt me, Gabriel!" I sighed. I need to calm down, I promised myself I won't yell at him again... I try to take a deep breath after drinking a glass of Alcohol. He's doing a great job.
'Learn to appreciate Jayden, learn to appreciate' my head tries to calm down. I'm even more worked up than normal.
"Gabriel..." I smile even though he couldn't see that. I'm hiding like a rat because of my actions.
"Can you do it or not?"
"Boss, This is almost impossible, you Can't get him to sign, and he has a bunch of lawyers he pays millions, do you think they would be doing nothing and just spending?""Just prepare it, I'll email you something a bit later, Compile everything. And also, I am not a fool to pay the lawyer am I?"
"Ok boss. It would be done just as you want it. But how are you going to get him to sign?"
I dimmed my eyeballs, rubbed my temple "leave That to me." He's going to pay dearly for the actions of his men. The anger in me burns more than the bullet did.
My mind swung back to the girl of last night. She looks so innocent, why would someone mistreat their Children? And then I am suddenly hungry.
I Picked my phone again and ordered take-out from the restaurant even I don't crave Italian food. She was here with the food earlier than I expected.
Here... The girl who gives me a confusing feeling. Giving me a feeling like I need to protect her. I let her knock on the door for a while, admiring her even though she's just a teenager. She had a cute appearance, even With the freckles on her face and her unattractive dress. I put on a black shirt, the sore is already bleeding, I'll go to the pharmacy to dress it later.She stared at me for a while, focusing her eyes on my face, like she was trying to remember something.
"Good morning from Yanky brass." She greeted politely and tried to avoid my greedy eyes gazing at her.She held the food, wanting to hand me the food. I'm so lost in her eyes. Her small form made me go crazy for some reason. Which is almost impossible in my case. I've always disliked little women, no offense, I think they are most dangerous.
I brush my hand on hers lightly, with no intentions to collect the meal from her, she pushed the bag In my hand, forcing her hand free from mine, I sensed she was already feeling uncomfortable, and they turned to leave.
"Stop..." I added, and She did. I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out money "A tip for a job well done." I said with a cocky smile, she moved back a little. I dipped the tip in her breast pocket.
I felt the urge to know her more, I want to take control of her little form, I'd love to bully her and press her small form under me, even though she's not the kind of girl I would go out in public with, she's not so beautiful.★★BELLA★★ After helping 'Mr i don't know who,' Lisa pushed me out of the house the moment I followed Kelly, she said she asked Kelly to search for me just to get the sheets which they forgot to bring in while I was away. And since I didn't have it with me, there was no need going in, and plus I had to pay for loosing them as my story wasn't believable, they both think I'm a liar. When Kelly finally opened the door, I run in, as fast as I can. My whole body was shivering, I was wet from the dew. I still had to go to work even though I was shivering. I have been giving Lot of Excuses lately, I don't to worry madam Serena with my family problem. I did all my work. Went to the bathroom to have my bath and prepared for work. I turned to Kelly, She was talking to dad. Demanding money from him. I can't remember the last time i asked my father for anything and youhe gave me. I
★★BELLA★★I dropped my phone on the floor as the word echoes in my head. "Dad is dead, dad is dead..." Tears dropped from my eyes. My father did me and my mom wrong, still why should he die like this? Bruno rushed to me "Bella, what's it? What happened?"I wiped my tears and let out a fake smile "sorry, I'll have to leave, I have something urgent" I picked my things and rushed home. My world now feels unbalanced, I feel my head spinning over the news. I opened the entrance gate slowly... The place seems so quiet. "Kel...?" I called with my broken voice. "Kelly... Aunt Lisa?" My aunt was drawing smoke from the pipe, she looked so calm. She puffed it in the air... "My husband is dead... Are you happy now?" "H
★★BELLA★★ She helped me with my bag. "No dear, you can't sleep here. My heart is already raising. "You can come to my house Bella we're like family. Huh, her house?! I never thought of going there. "Yes Bella, come to live with us." He gave Me a.shiver with his words. He looks so happy that I want to live with them."OK madam. Till I get a place to stay, I'll be paying you little rent. It isn't good that I stay for free." I say. I dropped my stuffs by the corner of the room.Evening, Bruno drove the family home with his bus. I was given the room of Ariana and Lorenzo, they were going to sleep in Bruno's room. Ariana didn't want to leave and I promised to share the room with her. I unload
Chapter 10★★BELLA★★ He marched to his room. He looks scarier than Bruno, he's so huge, broad shoulder, Great arm, his abs I could see clearly from his shirt, he had long legs. I watched the window as the rain fell heavily, 'After the rain stops, where will I go?' These were my only thoughts... He came back with some blankets and a pair of clothes. "Hey, go have a bath then you can wear these." He said and dumped them on the chair. When I was ready, he led me to the bathroom. I took off my clothes and had a bath, even though it felt like someone was watching me the whole time. 'Calm Bella, it's just your stupid head trying to play a trick.' I consoled myself. The bathroom was better than the one I shared with Kelly, it gave me some sort of inner peace so I decided to stay for a little longer, letting the water calm my head down, my heart from racing. After bathing, I wore the shirt he gave me, I feel so cold even
★★BELLA★★ I looked at his wide shoulder, his ripped army colored sweater. Wait... Is that 'en' on his shoulder? Does he have a tattoo? 'Bella, you must be stupid, a lot of words end with 'en'.I turn to the bed and sleep. Morning time. I opened my eyes "ahh...! You startled me" I screamed. He squatted, staring at me. "Well, is this how long you sleep? You must be really lazy, I bet you're jobless" he said as he walked to the window. The day was so bright,the ray entered directly into my eyes. "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll be going now" I say. I got up, wrapped my hair into a bun. "You have to answer my questions. Number one, why were you on the streets last night?"&nb
★★BELLA★★ I can't speak, I did wrong, I disobeyed... But how can he aim so perfectly? "Why did you come in here?" He asked in a different tone. "I didn't mean to, I came to deliver you meal, I called you but you- you didn't answer..." He wiped his face and smiled like a psycho in his second personality "Oh..." He raised the gun up. "Don't be scared, this is fake. It's a toy".I don't buy that. Why would he be with a toy gun? He stretched his hand for the food. I gave It to him. As I walked out, I pulled the knife from the door and dropped it on the shelf. Slowly withdrew my hand to leave... "What is your name?" He asked calmly "Bella. My name is Bella." I feel like crying for no reason.
★★JAYDEN★★ I go through the transfer paper, Wayne will be so shocked. Tomorrow, I'll go to back, I have some works to attend to. I start to think of Bella, I feel pity for her, just like me, she's alone in this world, but unlike me, she is a simple and nice little sport. I let her stay here because of pity. Play the record of her family: "Dad, dad sign, stop dragging the pen with Mom!" This was her sister's voice. "No, no, Lisa, you have used me all these years, I won't sign my wealth to you, what about my... What about my other daughter...???" "Edward, we have to secure our childrens future first, sign..." "Sign This Eddy! Don't be stubborn" they were struggling, she hit his head with something. I don't know how he died but I heard his daughter screaming. This naïve girl never ask
★★JAYDEN★★ I drove speedily back with my eyes almost closing all the time. I haven't slept the whole night, driving here. Wow, the whole house is so clean, except my room. cheers to me, I got a new helper, plus she pays for her stay. And who says I want to settle down? Pish...! I'll always be like this, a sick me. I crashed on the bed, folded like a baby then slept... ★★BELLA★★ I woke up to an empty house, he already left like a ghost. Keys were tied to my wrist, even though he asked me not to enter his room, he came in mine. I had a quick bath and did all the chores, plates that looks like they haven't been washe
