🌹CHAPTER THIRTY - FIVE🌹

"You have yourself a deal" He says and shakes my head but I know that neither one of us is happy about this. Now that I've found a loophole and I'm happy about it. If I had not been so lost in my own sadness and sorrow then I would've most likely have been able to notice how he barely has any money at all.

It all makes sense. He hired an assassin and when he could've hired some strange that would do the job without a doubt he hired someone that he knew, his own sister because he did not have any money and I was told that he would try to kill me again but he did not because he needed me.

He needed my money, that is the only reason why I'm alive right. Why he doesn't have any money? That I don't know and it's best that I don't know. "Now, I do want to go home" I tell him and he rolls his eyes. "To where, you don't have a home anymore. Why not stay with your dear old daddy" He says.

I somehow can tell that he wants to make my life as miserable as he is because I did figure out the very thing that I know he did not want anyone to know but when seeing the right signs and reading them right, it was quite easy to know what was going on.

His words then dawn upon me and I really understand that he is correct about it. Alexander has kicked me out of the house and broken up with my, I don't want to depend on my mother for the rest of my life and Lena is somewhere... I don't know where and I somehow have a bad feeling about her.

There is just something in my memory that tells me that I can't trust her for some reason, however, I can't be sure what it is. "One night, no more" I tell him and he sharply nods. "I take it you remember where to go?" He ask but I can tell that he doesn't want me here as much as I don't want to be here.

Perhaps he just wants to keep me here because he doesn't trust me. Well, I don't trust him that much either as he was the one that tried to kill me, a lot of times but he has failed and I do fear for my life when I'm here around him and in this house because I can't be sure of he is going to try to kill me again or do anything bad to me.

I nod my head when I have no idea where that room is but there is no way that I'm going to let him know that. Without saying another word I turn around and leave his office and back into the disgusting dark hallway where I have no idea where I am.

Looking down to the ground I find my footsteps and I follow them. His are much larger than mine and I do know what the shoe print after my shoes are so I just follow that until I reach the room and walk inside. Before I go into the room I notice that there is a key in the door and I take it and bring it inside and lock the door.

Sighing I notice my computer and phone on the floor and as I pick my phone up I would expect to see that I have some missed calls from Alexander or anyone for that matter but there is nothing as if no one is wondering where I am. Perhaps no one care.

No, I'm not going to think like that. I can't think like that now. I've only now outsmarted him which wasn't that hard since he technically gave me all that I needed to be able to see what he had planned all alone. Perhaps he thought that I would just sign the contract because I did not have another choice.

Now, I have something over him and he knows it. That is why he can't hurt the people I love and I don't think he has the money to be able to hurt them now that his assassin and his sister is in jail, it's going to be pretty hard and very expensive to get another assassin.

I would assume they cost a lot but I've no idea about it as I've never wanted to hire one. But, she did offer to help me but I refused her, that was the only time I've ever actually known a real assassin. Who is my aunt which is insane to me as I've known her my entire life and never known I was actually related to her.

That does hurt me to know that I had an aunt without ever knowing it and if I had known, then maybe we could've been much closer than just my mom's hairstylist and friend who I barely even speak that much too since. I shake my head as I try not to think of anything but the things that I need to deal with right now.

The bed is horribly dirty and I'm not sure if I do want to sleep in it but I don't have another choice as I have to be here. It's too late to find some place to be and I have no money on me to be able to go to a hotel or something and it's definitely too late in the evening to buy a house or go to a bank for money to buy anything as the bank has closed.

Sighing I get on the bed and go under the dirty covers, which I try not to think much about as I close my eyes and try to go to sleep but then I remember the key and I jump out of bed and lock the door, just in case that he can't get in here while I'm asleep and then I go back to bed and go to sleep.

When morning came I was wide awake as I did not sleep that well in the bed. I found that it was rather uncomfortable and it always made me feel like something was crawling up my body an it made me feel horrible just being here. However despite my lack of sleep, I feel much better than I did yesterday.

The pain and the sorrow and the heartache I try to ignore as I stand up and open my laptop. Nothing much has happened but now it's time to get out of this horrible place, before I leave I send an email on my lawyer to help me draw up a deal.

I walk out of the room with my laptop and phone and once again I follow my own footsteps in the dust on the floor and soon I'm outside and I walk until I find the street. There I take a taxi to my mom's place. Soon I'm in front of it and I let out a sigh.

My mom and Alexander have become fast friends and I wonder if she does know that he did break up with me or not. Somehow I pray that she doesn't know because that will make it better for me to tell her myself, tell her what he did to me.

Standing in front of the house, nervous and unsure about whether I should walk in there or not but after five minutes of just standing there I decide to walk in and face the storm head on. It's silent when I walk inside but then I start to hear voices and I can hear my mom's voice.

She's angry for some reason, that I can hear. I put my laptop and phone down on a table nearby as I walk over to my mom's voice as she is talking to someone, a man I think as it's a deep voice. Their discussion is heated, that I can tell it I can't hear their words nor know who she is fighting with.

The door is closed but I know I have heard this man before, the voice is familiar to me but with the door closed I can't make it out. Somehow I need to know what is happening in there. I slowly open the door as I know that they are most likely in another room that has the door open.

"And what about my daughter? That poor girl has been through so much, don't make her do this!" My mom yells at someone. Is that about me? If so, then who is she talking to? I open the door wider and walk inside. Just as I had thought, they are in the other room.

I slowly walk over there. "That girl will sign over all her money to me, make no mistake of that. She will, if she wants to safe the one she loves the most" I hear the man says and I realize that it's him. My biological father. When did he get here?

I did not even know that she and him were on speaking terms. "What are you talking about?" My mom asks in anger and it's best that he stays out of her way because when he's angry, she is angry. She can get so angry that even I would want to get out of the way.

"Alexander Knight, such a powerful man yet powerless when it comes to her" He says and I quietly gasp. I don't know what they're talking about but I know it has something to do with me and Alexander. "You leave that poor boy alone and don't even come close to my daughter or I will-" My mom begins but is cut off by him chuckling.

"You will what? It is I who has the power here. And she is not yours, she is ours" He speaks but I would deny that in every way since he has never been a father to me and even now he's not my father. "She's not ours. I was the one who raised her and gave her nothing but love while you wanted her dead. You don't deserve her.... I don't deserve her" My mom says.

She's wrong. I'm the one that doesn't deserve her, she has been the best mother than anyone could want and I can't ever repay her for what she has done for me. She has given me time and love and I love her more than I love myself. "You raised her to be sold off. Mother of the year. Besides, now she needs to be disciplined better" He tells her.

My heart is hurting that he is doing this. I thought he had promised me to not hurt the people I love and he's hurting her, with words at least and I don't want him here and it's clear that my mom doesn't want him here either. "Don't you dare touch her!" My mom yells at him.

I can tell by her voice that she wants to do something and yell at him but she isn't, I wonder why. "That is going to be rather difficult now that she is listening. Come in, little girl" He calls out and I freeze in my spot as he knows that I'm here.

How? How did he know that I'm here. The door is closed and I'm been silent this entire time and I'm sure there are no cameras around here. The door opens for me and I walk inside to see that my mom has tears in her eyes. I also notice that he is nervous and perhaps worried but is trying to hide it.

"Why don't you just leave, without money, you have nothing and I think I should be starting to lower the amount that I will give you" I speak to him as I walk over to my mom and I take her hand. He smirks as his hand suddenly goes into his pocket and he picks up a gun and points it at us.
