Chapter 3

• Seeing her shaking because of he outburst, he felt sorry for her, “I’m sorry I did not mean to scare you”, he said slowly, “it’s okay I know you’re angry because of my issues, I’m just tired that’s it”, she replied him still looking at her fingers. “Look at me”, he said lifting her head, and she looked at him with tears hanging in her eyes. “You will always be my little princess and in my eyes you will be the best woman with I kind heart that is had to find, so get up I’m taking you home”, he said offering to take her home to rest which she accepted because she was not in the mood to face her step mother and father at their home or should she say house since it has never been her home from birth. She was sure that they must be angry right now and waiting for her to go home so that they can skin her alive and well there was no way she will give them that satisfaction.
• The moment she reached home, she went straight to bed without eating, she was mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. The moment she closed her eyes, she dreamed of everything that happened today from the moment she wake up with a no stranger man in her bed to her stepsister breaking into the room with her father, her fighting with her stepsister and Sam undressing her in front of so many people. She wake up from her dream screaming for help all sweating. She put a hand on her chest, told herself that, “it was just a dream, she was save in her own house”. She looked at the watch on the wall and saw that it was seven in the evening. “oh, I have slept this long”, she said to her self and got off from bed to prepare something to eat even though she was tired and had no appetite she still had to eat to survive.
• Reaching the kitchen, she found a note place on the fridge, “I prepared dinner for you eat it when you when you wake up I did not want to wake up as I know you need some time to rest”, she read the note Patrick has left her. She smiled and thanked God that at least she still has someone to look after her.
• She got her dinner and forced herself to eat even though she did not have the appetite. After eating, she cleaned her utensils and went to bed to rest she was so tired from today’s event.
• She was interrupted by the knocking on her door, she wondered, “who could be knocking at this time”, she went to open the door thinking that maybe Patrick has come back or he forgot something. She opened the door excited only to be welcomed with a sounding slap from my step mother Celine Salvador. “why was that for?”, she asked her coldly, “for pushing my daughter, she’s now in coma, I’m going to make sure you get arrested for tempted murder and I will make sure you spend the rest of you fuckin life there”, she replied spiting fire and after that she pushed her and she knocked her head on the couch.
• On Patrick’s side, he was busy checking his email and making important calls to his assistant, his car was speeding on the fastest speed ever, if anything or anyone came out of nowhere, they will not survive if knocked. He was going to Switzerland for an important meeting when he got a call from his first clash and the lover of his life. Even though he has never confessed his feeling to her, he have always thought of her all his life. They meet in kindergarten, she was a shy girl without any friend and he became her only friend through their school life together until he had to travel back to his home country France with my parents five years ago. His parents also loved her as their daughter and they wished they could be together as a couple.
• They always asked him about her, if his still in touch with her to which he always lie to them and he says yes. Apart from the that fact he was busy building a fortune, he was angry at her for refusing to leave her good for nothing family that has always treated her like nothing but a maid to go with him to France.
• He was quite surprised that despite her family treating her like a piece of trash, they still had the decency of sending her to the best school
• Until one day when she told him that she’s studying on bursary and she has to study hard and keep the first place to keep the bursary.
• He was not shocked at that news because she was the best student at there school, semester after semester even though he was one class ahead of her, he still got to know her performance and grades in class. He felt sorry for her, despite having a wealth Father, she still had to strive harder in order to get something or to achieve, it was really cruel to her since she was still young girl and very innocent in this cruel world. His parents loved her for her intelligent, love and compassion and for always finding something good in each and everyone she met despite treating her like a peace of trash.
• He answered the phone immediately wondering what has happened to her to call him after so many years. He was so sure that that it’s nothing good and true to his thoughts, he heard her crying the moment he put his phone on the ear. He asked her why she was crying and what has happened but she failed to make a sentence which scared the heal out of him. She was never a weak girl, even when her step mother or her step sister hurt her, she never cried like that.
