Chapter 3
As soon as Lucas left ,he turned to face me know looking a bit more composed."And what makes you think I'd believe you?"his voice turned ice cold as he spoke his dangerous gaze never leaving mine."because I don't have any interest in lying to you nor does it benefit me In any way "I managed to sound calm even though my heart was pounding in fear .
He had this display of authority and possession, the one that tells you not to get to the wrong side of him .
"Okay, than why don't you tell me why they wanted to kill you,"he questioned his voice demanding yet with a lace of comfort .
I felt my chest tightening at the thought of his question ,I looked down at my pale hands avoiding his eyes but I could feel his eyes on me as I narvesly played with my fingers .
How was I supposed to tell him that I took something from them or that they killed my mother and now they want to kill me too.
I closed my eyes to prevent the tears from falling out at the thought of loosing my mother ,I watched as they shooted her straight to the head ,I watched as the bullet peased through her forehead like it was nothing and come through the other side of her head , they even forced me to watch her lifeless figure colups to the ground like she was worth nothing , to them just another burden out of their way.
I managed to control my emotions, opening my eyes I still avoided his .
"Damian forced me to go to the wearhouse saying he had a job for me and he threatened to kill my mom if I didn't do as he said, so I followed him , I knew they were stealing but I couldn't do anything about it and I didn't want to get involved " I let out a shaky breath "my mom found out and she came after me but in the process she over heard something she wasn't supposed to , so they killed her and they thought that I also heard them so they tried to kill me as well,"I explained to him with a soft voice as I tried to hold back my tears . I gently touched the wound on my side close my stomach over my shirt which I think he noticed but didn't say anything.
"How did you manage to escape"he asked calmly leaning on the wall with his hands crossed at his chest .
I looked at him for a second "I had to fight and run , that's why you found me by the tree, " "but it wasn't easy "I added.
"Are you the one who killed one of their men ?,"he asked making me go silent ,as guilt engulfed me in it's dark reality.
I couldn't get myself to say it was me , maybe he would kill me if I told him it was me ,he waited patiently for my answer but it never came, with my head low ,I buried my face In my hands and mumbled a"I had no choice ,"with a small and timid voice, but what he said next shocked me"you went too easy on him , if I were you I would've done a lot worse "his words were some what comforting but they couldn't change the fact that I took someone else's life, and I knew will always eat me up as long as I'm alive.
I lifted my face to look at him"you still didn't tell me why I'm here "I stated "we just wanted to ask you some questions "his voice was calm yet controlling."can I go now that I've answered your questions?,"I asked he stared right into my soul his expression darkened at the mention of those words.
"I'm afraid you can't"his words were simple but carried a heavy burden in it's meaning, what does he mean ."what? Why?"I asked anxiesly as my heart pounded with worry, they can't keep me here forever no this can't be what about Eva ."Evelyn , you know too much , you know things a person out there shouldn't and that's why you can't leave " his words were disturbing and they some how managed to make me angry "what! , do you mean I know too much? I bearly know your name,you can't keep me here like a prisoner forever "I said my voice anything but calm .
He walked towards the door and turned to face me ." Your right I can't keep you here like a prisoner but like a maid, I can . I'm giving you two days to rest then after that Elizabeth will guide you through your work and don't even think about trying to escape security might not be tight inside the house but it's tight out , and even if you'd managed to escape you don't know where you are and your far away from your home"with those cold words said he turned to leave.i quickly stood up from the bed "Mr. Elias, I have a younger sister and I need to take care of her , you can't do this to me "I tried to reach him and stop him but he stepped out quickly and closed the door before I could reach him "please , don't do this to me!!" I shouted as I banged on the door loudly this time "please , i beg you I need to take care of my sister!" "Please just let me go ,I deg you"the last part come as a whisper, tears rolled down my face as leaned my back on the door sliding down to the floor , i hugged my knees to my chest as I felt a flood of emotions, Eva didn't even know that mom is dead , although I left her at our Aunt's she couldn't stay there forever.
I hated this man for doing this to me . My life was a mess and the only thing that helps is sleep, cover's us from the hash really and exposes us to the sometimes beautiful lie, a lie we all wish we could have but will never have as long as your human.
