A Secret Crush On My Step-Uncle

ELISE'S POV There were continuous knocks on the door and by every minute that passed, the knocks got louder. At the same time, it was like the sound of the knocks was ringing in my head and it gave me goosebumps. "Elise! Open the door! You have to pay me today, or else you are going to stay behind bars! I'm going to label you a thief!" The person behind the door thundered, angrily and I shook. "Elise, I never knew you were such a thief and liar! Your family is so deceitful! Look at how you owe us all! Pay up!" Another person yelled. I was filled with so much fear at this point and it was as if they would break down the door and take me away. My head was downcast and my eyes were filled with tears as I looked down at the pile of bills on the table. From the water bill to the electricity bill and also, to my mother's health bills. "What are you going to do now?" My mother asked as she stood beside me, with her hands akimbo. My heart stopped beating for a moment hearing her say th

ELISE'S POV"What's going on, mother? Where is father?" I asked, in panic. I was worried sick for her at this point."I... I feel weak, Elise. My drugs have finished and there is no way to get new ones." I heard her say and I gasped. I realized that we didn't have any money and my father wasn't making any effort to get money for my mother's bills."Mum... Mother, I'll find a way. Please, hold on." I said as she shakily held onto me. My heart was breaking every second and I couldn't continue to watch her suffer that way because of their strife and hatred toward Uncle Damien.Before long, we heard loud footsteps and before I knew what was happening, I got pushed into the room, and the door slammed shut. It was obvious that my mother was afraid of my father seeing us together.As I paced around my bedroom, I came to a decision. I couldn't let them hinder me from growing. I took up my phone and texted Uncle Damien. I accepted the job and he agreed to pick me up the next morning.__I was

DAMIEN'S POV"What do you want here, Elise?" I asked coldly as I saw Elise walk in.She wanted to sit beside me but I was quick to stand up and face her."I.. I..." She let out, stutteringly, she was obviously disoriented by my cold stance. "I have been thrown out by my father. Please, I have nowhere to go except here." She said, shakily."You have no place here, Elise! Leave now." I declared and she froze. I couldn't look at her the same way anymore after what happened."What... What did you say?" I asked, in shock."I say you have no place here anymore! Leave! Get out of my life! You are the cause of all this! Go!" He yelled and I staggered, in shock."Please, don't do this to me. I have nowhere else to go. You know I'm innocent, uncle!" She said as she was about to go down on her knees to beg me.But before she could do that, I took hold of her hand and dragged her out of the house.I flung her out and her body landed on the floor with a loud thud."Go, Elise, and never come back

CHAPTER 7 — From rags to riches. Elise's POV. My eyes slowly opened and my nose was welcomed with a scent that I found familiar. I tried moving my body but a pair of hands were firmly wrapped around me. As my eyes fully opened, they were staring at someone's hairy chest. Curious and terrified to know who I was lying with, I raised my head slowly and my eyes widened in shock. "Damien" I gasped but instantly closed my mouth. I wriggled slowly out of his grip because I was disgusted by his embrace. Last night, he slammed the door heartlessly in my face and now, he had his hands wrapped around me. Something wasn't adding up. Successfully getting out of his arms, I quietly crawled out of the bed. As my feet touched the cold floor, I let out a soft gasp. I lowered my eyes to look at myself and I was completely naked, there were also dried blood stains between my thighs. Tears stung my eyes and I looked at him, he was also naked as well. My hands desperately flew to my head as I tr

Elise's POV. I dodged the knife, by tilting my head. The knife ended up hitting the mirror and causing it to break.Quickly, I moved away from there but I wasn't planning to run. I didn't know her but I needed to know what she wanted from me. "Why are you here and how dare you try to attack me?" I questioned, my voice cold and raised scarily. "What…do you want from me?" Instead of responding, she got a hold of the knife again and made threatening steps towards me. "So, you ended up getting famous to seduce him again right?" She asked, her voice filled with resentment and malice. "I always wondered who was behind that mask, I always wanted to meet you but the moment you stared at Damien like that. I instantly knew you were Elise." How did she know my former name? What connection did she have with Damien? Was she one of his playthings? "I don't know what you're talking about." I feigned ignorance. Although Nicola's claims were true, I couldn't let myself get drawn in. I didn't kn
