Chapter 2 Stubborn Girl

The walking god looked at the other man then looked at me in confusion. Grace smacked the man's arm playfully, "Oh, Denis. This is Eliza." She pulled him over to me as I lifted and held out my hand. He tilted his head to me, "Hi, Eliza." I shook his hand, "Hi?"

Grace smiled at him, "Eliza. This is Denis and this handsome fellow is..." She held her hand out to the god, "This is Ethan, my son."

He gave me an angry look as he snarled, "Mom, can I have a word with you..." He walked towards the hallway, "In private." She nodded as she winked at me, "Sure, sweetie."

Denis took a seat next to me as James smiled, "How was your flight?" Denis could keep his eyes off of me when James hands Denis a plate, "It was alright. You know how it is with flights, boring."

James nodded as Denis placed food on to his plate, "So, Eliza. How did you meet the Wright family?"

I smirked at him as I whispered, "They kind of ran me over." James laughed as Denis's eyes widened, "Oh, son. She doesn't remember what exactly happened. Yes, Grace accidentally hit her with the car." Denis shook his head as Ethan snarled from behind me, "Mom, you hit her with the car."

Grace whimpered to him, "It is not like I meant to do it. She came out of nowhere." Ethan narrowed his eyes at me as he sat next to Grace at the table, "Mom, are you sure that she came out of nowhere." She smacked his arm as his father handed him a plate, "Don't talk like that. Yes, she came out of nowhere. It was like she was running from something."

Denis's eyes widened as he looked at Ethan. Ethan tilted his head as Ethan placed food on his plate, "What is it, Denis?" He sighted as he shook his head, "We talk later about it." Ethan nodded as he sat down as his eyes hasn't left mine. He making me nervous. Why is he looking at me like that? He looks like he a loin waiting for his prey.

After dinner, Ethan and Denis disappeared somewhere in the big house as I sat in the living room by the fireplace with Grace and James. I stood up as I said good night to them. I was happy to see Grace happy to see her son home. James was happy also. Ethan looked like he was happy that he was back home but didn't like the fact I was there.

I walked down to my room when I was pinned to the wall, "Who are you are you really? Are you trying to play my family like fools?" I shook my head as he has my wrists pinned to the wall, "No, Ethan. I don't know who I am really." He tilted his head as he looked into my eyes, "What are talking about?"

Tears fell down face, "I woke up in the hospital not remembering anything." His eyes darted to my lips as they parted. My tongue darted out to lick my dry lips when his eyes widened. Ethan's eyes snapped back to mine when he snarled, "I don't trust you. I have seen girls like you." I tried to push him off of me as he is too strong when I snarled, "Girls like me?" He chuckled as his lips went to my ear, "Gold diggers."

I shook my head as I snarled back at him, "You don't know me." He chuckled as he lifted his lips close to mine, "It sounds like you don't know yourself either."

I growled at him as I try to lifted him up, "Get off of me and let me go." His eyes darted to my eyes then down my front as he was studying me then back to my eyes. He shook his head as I started to breath heavier.

My tears ran down my face as I whimpered to him as his fingers squeezed my wrists, "You're hurt me, Ethan." His eyes widened as he lifted up from me. I turned my heel then walked quickly to my room when he snarled, "I know your game, Eliza. You can't play me."

I shook my head as I went into the room. I took a shower as cried and I cried hard.

I don't know why but at that moment I was scared. I wasn't scared of Ethan; it was the way he pinned me down that scared me. I could tell that he wasn't meaning to hurt me. I get it, I am a strange girl living with his parents and he didn't know me. He was right, I didn't know myself.

What was he doing home anyways? I thought he wasn't coming home until Christmas.

I laid on the bed as I closed my heavy eyes. I fell into a deep sleep.

"Isabella, Come on. Let's go." A sweet woman's voice yelled as I skipped towards her. I stopped into my track as a man stood in front of me all in black.

His eyes looked familiar when his fingers went to his lips to tell me to be quiet. "Isabella Lane. Let's go. Your daddy is waiting for us."

"No, Mommy. Daddy help." I screamed as a fire started to spread throughout the house. "Fuck, grab the girl." Someone yelled. I was lifted off the ground as I screamed, "Mommy, Daddy. Don't let them take me. HELP!"

"Wake her up Ethan."

"How? Why did my mom and dad had to go out to that stupid party?"

"Eliza, wake up."

"No... Help..."

"Denis get me a cloth; she is sweating to death."

"Don't touch me."

"Who the fuck touched her, Ethan. I know I know her."

"How the fuck you know her?"

"Just wake her up."

A cold compression hit my forehead as I screamed, "Please, I be a good girl." I felt arms hold me tight, "Fuck love, what happened to you?" I toss and turn as arms held me tighter, "Come on. Eliza, wake up."

My breathing went heavy as I screamed, "Help." A hand went to my jaw as lips went to my forehead, "Come on. Eliza. Wake up."

My eyes started to flick opened as a cold compression was on my forehead and my breathing started to slow down. I looked over to my side as I found Denis sleeping in the chair. Why is he sleeping there? I felt something heavy on my stomach when I placed my hand on it. I closed my eyes as I pinched it to see what it was when I heard, "Ouch. Woman. Is that what I get for pulling you out of your nightmares?"

My eyes snapped opened when I looked over to Ethan when he smirked at me, "What are you doing here?" He rolled his eyes, "When you came out of your nightmare, you wouldn't let me leave." I took a deep breath as I whispered, "Thank you."

He lifted up as he growled, "Well, you was screaming so loud that we couldn't get any sleep." Denis's eyes opened, "Eliza. Finally, you are awake." Ethan groaned as he lifted off the bed, "I am going back to my room." Denis smirked at me as he lifted up then walked over to me.

He leaned down as he placed his lips on my forehead, "Try to get rest, love." I blushed as Ethan snarled at him, "Come on lets go Romeo." Denis chuckled as they walked out of the room then gave me a winked. I laid my head back down as I fell back to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up, brush my teeth then head down for breakfast. Mya was in the kitchen cooking as she turned her head, "Good morning, Eliza." I smiled at her as I sat at the table, "Good morning Mya."

I froze when I heard Ethan behind me, "Mom, she kept me up all night." I looked behind me as she smacked his arm, "Ethan be nice. She been through a lot." She smirked at me as Mya placed plates on the table when I lifted.

Grace tilted her head to me, "Eliza, where are you going?" I shook my head as I went to leave the kitchen, "Not hungry."

Grace shook her head, "Come on, Eliza. Eat. I know you have a hard time eating after a nightmare like that but..." Ethan stood in my way to get away from him. Why does he hate me so much but care for me so much? It so confusing that I need to be away from him.

"Eliza, go eat." He snarled at me. I crossed my arms as I snarled back at him, "Make me." He shook his head as Grace smirked at the interaction, "If you don't go sit. I will." I tilted my head to the ceiling as he growled, "Mom, you spoiled her too much."

She shrugged her shoulders, "You know, I always wanted a daughter." He shook his head as he lifted me in his arms, "Ethan, put me down." He shook his head as Denis walked into the kitchen.

Ethan placed me on the counter when he pointed to my plate, "Denis, give me her plate. Looks like I am going have to force feed her."

Grace's eyebrow lifted as she took a bite of her food. She was right. I would lose my appetite after a nightmare like last night. Grace and James would make me sit at the table until I ate something.

Ethan lifted the fork in front of my face as he growled, "Eliza, you are just skin and bones. You need to eat."

I turned my head as I whispered to him, "Why do you care?" He pinched the bridge of his nose when Grace walked by him when she patted his shoulder, "Good luck son, she is a stubborn girl."

He chuckled as he smirked at me, "I am more stubborn." His lips went into a line when he growled, "Now, open." I shook my head as I noticed Denis sitting back in a chair with an evil grin on his face. Ethan grabbed my jaw as he squeezed my jaw that created pain as I opened my mouth. The fork of food went into my mouth as he growl, "Now, chew."

Ethan stood at the counter trapping me as he feed me. Denis watched from the table as Mya watched from the other side of the kitchen.
