~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
~LEAH~As she drew the iron closer to my face, I shut my eyes ready to accept my fate... Is this how I'm gonna lose my face, I will probably be ugly and Jake will have more reasons to hate me. I was quivering in fear, I might not even survive the pain of the hurt iron on my face. "Stop mum!" I heard the familiar voice that always sends sweetness to my body.Jake? Is he here to save me? I slowly opened my eyes to find him standing on the doorway, his face blank like always.I imagined how cute he will be if he ever smiles, he will be extremely cute. His mum's mood changes immediately as she glares at him.She ignored him, and tried to hurt me with the iron. But in just a flash the iron flew in the air and landed at a corner. I believe Jake did that."Jake!" his mother snarled with so much anger on her face. Jake is actually going against his mother to save me, but why? I mean not after what he told me yesterday night. He made it clear that he hates me because he b
~AMBER~I will find a way to see Leah, I miss her a lot. I wonder how she is doing and her mother too, I hope they are both okay.What do Jake want from them, what business does he have with them, why did he force Leah to marry him? I have to find out, but how?The only thing I was able to do was leak the photos I took the day they got married, the picture of when he was forcefully dragging Leah to the car. I thought that picture would help, but I was wrong. He found a way to cover up everything. It hurts that I can't help my friend, I know Leah must be going through hard times now. I must do everything in my power to see her, I want to know how she is doing.... My poor friend.I also want to reveal Jake's true colors to the public, but that won't be easy.... The first time I tried, I failed, but I won't give up. ~LEAH~I slowly flapped my eyes open, I felt pains all over my body, my vision was blurry. I close my eyes and try to remember what happened to me and I did. It was ju
