It was from my mother, how.
I read through the details. My eyes widened.
The letter read: Scarlett, I can't express how disappointed I am at you right now, you've always found away of shaming me.
But nevertheless, I can't turn a blind eye. Your father walked his ass out for that company and you foolishly allowed your so-called fiancé have it.
I will try to help but for the main time stay hidden. I will book a flight for you with a new identity to Russia, stay hidden and never return.
Leave exposing Jason to me, I will use my power as a presidential candidate and get him behind bars__.
My heart tightened as the letter ended, I was supposed to be happy but I wasn't.
I even felt more devastated.
I wanted to find my father's murderer and make mom happy for once but it seems like, each time I draw closer to happiness, something just happens.
First my dad and now this, then also this— moving to Russia.
Where would I even start from.
But I have no other choice— this was the only way I was gonna survive.
Slowly I dragged my lazy body ad I walked through the lonely corridor.
Lonely… like me.
But no matter how much I pushed it, the question off why my never caring mother suddenly trying to help me. Why?
I stayed inside the store room until I was sure Jason and Alia were out of the house .Upstairs I went running like a mad dog, it's was already getting late. I packed some clothes and shoes and the little money I had at home-my bank account was now his.Ever since the case of my father's murder, I stopped going out without a car or on my own during the day time. People can't stop talking and labeling me a murderer .I tried going out once but was almost stoned to death, I don't want that to happen so I will have to wait till it's very dark.
After sitting down inside the store and waiting for dorks, it finally came and I set out for my journey.My mom has already sent me the details concerning my flight and my new identity. I quickly left the store room, looking carefully, making sure no one was watching, I rolled my suitcase outside. Looking back at my gorgeous mansion, i vowed to come back and make Jason suffer what what he has done to me—no matter the cost.
I rolled my suitcase outside and then outside the house.
I walked along the streets, looking down in shame ,with no destination.Everyone else was going about, walking freely but I couldn't, I still had that great depth of fear in me. I could see kids holding hands with their parents and chatting nonstop about their day. Myheart ached as I looked at them . They looked very happy.
I wouldn't mind if it was just an hour of love I got.
Dad was the only support and friend I had, but he was always too busy with the work. Still yet, he always made time from me.
But mom, her hatred for me is something that even acid can't melt. But still yet, I don't know why she hates me.
Maybe one day I will.
Happiness and love, the one thing I lacked since I was a child. I taught Jason could really give them to me, that's why I held him tight, loving and caring for him. Gosh I was damn foolish.
My heart ache as those thoughts ran through, I wished I could just rip out the stupid organ out of my chest to ease the agony I was feeling.
My stomach grumbled, I was hungry, I saw a nearby store and decided to by something, at least food might take my mind off all this.
Checking my wristwatch,i still have one hour before my flight.I used a hanky to cover the lower part of my face, revealing only my eyes then I went into the store.I got my self a chilled can drink along with a snack and left the store after paying.
I went to a very quiet and deserted location to eat.
Who would have thought, the ceo of the top ranking companies is now sitting on a little bench , hiding and eating like a stray dog. What will I do when I get to Russia, I have no one there, will I have to beg on the streets just to survive?
Tears filled my eyes, what should I do now?
I brought out my phone to call my mom and beg for some money, I can use to start up something when I get there.I was too occupied with the thoughts of my life to barely notice some street guys approaching me
By the time I noticed they had already surrounded me, I shivered and pressed my handbag firmly on my chest.
"What's a pretty damsel like you doing here at this hour of the night" one of the said, playing with my pink long hair.
" pls don't hurt me" I pleaded.
" of course we won't but only if you comply" he looked at me lustfully.
The place I was had some tall trees around,like a little forest.In the next instant, one grabbed me across the shoulder, jerking me up.I screamed in fear, still pleading for their mercy.Together they began dragging me towards the covers of the trees, I screamed shouting for help, but no one came.
Just when I thought all hope was lost, a man emerged holding a bright torch, he started shouting for help scaring those bastards away, he moved closer to me .
"Are you okay" he said raising my head up but when he saw my face, he backed away.
" it's you, you are a killer" he moved further away, I held his hand and begged " please don't leave me out here alone, they will come back please, help me please help me"
Instead, he yanked his hand off and spat on me" you should be ashamed of yourself, why are you begging for help now, didn't you think your dear father deserved mercy too before you mudered him" he pushed me away.
" please don't go I am begging you" but he didn't listen, he just turned his back on me and left. My heart hurt even more—everybody just hate me.
I looked around, those guys from before were already coming back, i heard them say: quick, catch her, boss will be furious if we don't get the job done. They said and it hi me, u couldn't believe Jason also sent those guys after me.
My heart ached the more. Is this how everyone wants me dead.
But no use crying over spilled milk, I began to run, I ran like it's my last day.I could hear their footsteps closing in on me from behind but I didn't stop, I continued and ran towards a sharp corner, bumped into something and fell.
I wasn't a thing it was a person
"Get out of my way you fool" he snapped and pushed me away, in the process of trying to regain balance I mistakenly pulled off his mask.
It was Mr Xavier Grey— I have seen him before but right now—he looked shocked or should I say angry.
"Fuck! How dare you remove my mask, are you insane" he shouted.
"Am so sorry, I just needed your help"
"Shut up!" He stood up but I held his hand , he starred at me with his cold dark black eyes sending shivers down my spine.
"Please don't leave me here" I pleaded hugging him hand.
He tried pulling away but I wouldn't burge, I held on tightly still asking for his help.He looked like he was in a hurry or should I say running from someone but I don't care. He should take me to wherever he is headed, at least I will be safe.
Just then, I began to hear dogs backing and then footsteps,some figures appeared with chained dogs, they looked like cops , oh yes they are cops .Oh thank goodness, I am saved.
He quickly dragged his mask back up, something told me I should run.One of them flashed a touch light and is then said after seeing my face.
"Miss Scarlett, you are advised to move away from that man, he is highly dangerous" wait , did he just say 'highly dangerous'?I began to shake. Before I could even make a single move, he grabbed me , took out a gun and shot the cop light out, then began to run away with me
Oh my! What is happening ?
I screamed
