~LYDIA~I stepped out of my house with my luggage. I've decided to go live in Jake's mansion. To find out who Jake is and his mission towards my family, I will have to live in his mansion and to also be with my daughter and protect her. I wonder what she is passing through there. I looked at the address he gave me, I think I will be able to find it without stress.I let down the tears as I stared at my house. The only memory I have left of my husband, and now Jake is snatching it away from me, but I will make sure to get back my house at any cost. I won't allow him to ruin our happiness."Aunt," Someone calls from behind and I turn to face Amber."Amber." I mutter out. She stared down at my bags and then at me."Where are you going with all these bags aunt? Did something happen?" she asked. I shut my eyes and reopen it, fighting back the tears."I don't know what is going on Amber, I'm so confused right now. I don't know why all these are happening to my daughter and
~JAKE~I returned to the mansion after taking Lydia to her room which is at the small cottage. Leah was still standing at the spot where I trapped her with my powers. The truth is that according to my mum, I am not a human. I came from a different world, a world far away from earth, that's why I possess different kinds of powers. Though I was born and raised on earth, it still doesn't stop me from possessing some powers which I inherited from my father.It is easy for me to kill Leah and her mother, but I can't do that now because I want to see them suffer. Lydia will pay for what she did and unfair enough, her daughter will also feel the pain. There is no way both of them can escape from me because I will still locate them with my powers no matter where they run to"Jake, please release me.... Please I'm begging you, it hurts standing here," Leah pleads as tears stream down her cheeks. I don't know why but I was kind of moved by her tears. But isn't that what I want? To see her sh
~LEAH~The following morning....I wasn't able to see mum through out yesterday and I still wonder the kind of room Jake gave her since he gave me such ugly and unpleasant room to stay I woke up early, I couldn't sleep last night.... I'm still scared of what my life will turn into by living under Jake's roof and his mother is somehow acting strange.I walked downstairs, it looks like Jake didn't come home last night, but still I have to prepare breakfast. I saw mum in the kitchen, she was awake already. I really pity my poor mum, she is not physically fit, but Jake had turned her into his maid all for a reason I can't comprehend. What if her health condition becomes worse since the doctor has instructed her not to do hard work and take her rest."Mum," I muttered, standing on the kitchen doorway, she turned to face me."Leah," she in turn mumbled, her eyes wearing a teary look. How much she is in pain, I mean my mum doesn't deserve this at all.I looked behind her, she
~LEAH~The sharp pain on my legs got me sprang up. I winced in pain as I twisted my face in anger, but tried to re-twist it when I saw Jake standing tall in front of me with a belt in his palm.Wait.... Did he actually hit that on me, I couldn't rush out my anger as I endure my pain in silence.The belt left a mark on my legs, red marks to be precise, but why did he hit that on me? Here I am worried about him but here he is wiping my legs with a belt. I still wonder what kind of fate I have... So ugly. "Come downstairs now, I gave you thirty seconds for that and don't dare waste my time!" he grime out coldly and scrambles out. I flinched, he sounded so raw.... What does he want this time? I hope it's not something serious.I have no time to think now, he said thirty seconds and I need to be downstairs before then.I flung up and scuttle downstairs, I met mum there as we shared glances, Jake too was standing between us.I was thinking why he summoned me and mum, I hope it is not somet
~LYDIA~I couldn't go back to my cottage last night, how can I sleep knowing fully well my daughter is suffering outside. Jake is so heartless guilty leaving my daughter out there in the rain all through last night, he didn't even have a change of mind.It hurts me more that I can't even do anything to help her, the door was tightly locked although I tried opening it. I couldn't control my tears as I wailed all night.I sprang on the sitting room floor with a heavy heart and heavy eyes because I had no sleep last night. I was only weeping. I imagined how the rain fell on my daughter throughout last night and how lonely and scared she might be. At the sunrise, I swung up curiously wanting to know my daughter's condition right now. She must have caught a cold. I pray she's okay.It is done raining, I scuttle to the door once again. That's what I did all night, but the thing is that I can't open the door. I don't know why Jake is doing this, he is such a monster.I heard foots
~LYDIA~I glanced at him, he was still trying to regain his strength. "Thanks for saving my daughter." I mumbled.He cares less about my appreciation, but that doesn't mean I'm not thankful for what he did. He stands up and walks out from the sitting room. He is the one that put Leah in this state, but also the one that saved her. What is actually his motive?"Leah." I mouthed, smiling teary, her eyes were still closed but she was breathing fine. I smooth her hair gently. I'm glad my baby is alive. ~EMILY~I clenched my fist in anger as I watched Jake use his power to save Leah. Leah is the daughter of our enemy and he has the gut to save her. He should have allowed her to die from that cold so that I can see Lydia in so much pain and then I will rejoice. I could have stopped him, but I couldn't because Lydia was there. I will never allow Lydia to find out about me until my plan is fulfilled.I will take everything that matters to her including her daughter before I will kill her,
~LEAH~I've been standing in front of Jake's door for over five minutes now. I'm scared and at the same time nervous to knock on his door."Will you stand there all day? You can come in," his deep voice sounded from inside. I was startled not that it was the first time experiencing that he can sense my presence, but it came unawares I know the fact that he can sense my presence just like he did back there at the hotel where I met him for the first time. Like seriously I can't hide from these guys, he knows me more than I know myself. I took a deep breath, calming down my racing heart before gently opening the door.Like expected his room is massive and stunning, coated with art works together with his pictures. A flame image of him hung on the wall above his king size bed, the room was partially bathed with gold and was neatly arranged His scent which hangs in the room sends shivers down on me. He has a big piano located at the extreme corner of the room and other m
~LEAH~The following dayI wasn't able to speak with mum yesterday and it ate me up. I woke up with a lot of questions in my mind. I scuttled downstairs, but mum is yet to be here. Maybe she is still in her cottage. When will I even get the chance to speak with her? I walked to the kitchen to make breakfast. I also didn't see Jake all throughout yesterday. I never knew he was an orphan, how hard it must have been for him, I kind of feel his pains but I won't believe that mum killed his parents. ~EMILY~I step out of the bathroom after having my bath. Jake might fail me one day. That's why I need to do things my own way. I widened my eyes in shock seeing Lydia in my room, what is she doing here? I remember warning Leah not to allow her near my room, but she flaunted my orders, I won't spare her.I quickly hid behind the bathroom door before she could see me because her eyes were still on the other side of the room. I hate seeing her, I hate her so much. Remembering how I made her
