Chapter 3 BRYAN....

Vladimir stared at the tiny little thing angrily as she whimpered silently inside the car.

Well he decided to tell his driver to drive her home but that doesn't mean that he will let her off so easily...

Tsk tsk she's already his and he'll be coming for her soon. He laughed coldly making her to curl herself into a ball fearfully on her seat...

Finally we got to my aunt's house, I quickly tried to open the car with shaky hands but I couldn't because of fear

I panicked inwardly....suddenly, Vladimir grabbed me roughly slamming me hard on the car seat.

I gasped fearfully...

"Now listen, if you try any funny shit consider yourself dead, if you try to outsmart me or run away... You're good as dead" he said coldly through clenched teeth

I shivered, tears rolling down cheek

I sobbed silently not knowing that I was adding more fuel to the fire

because his eyes darkened immediately.

"Shut the fuck up!!" He barked angrily making me to shut up instantly.

He used his hands to brush off my hairs which was covering one side of my face....

"Don't shed these tears now Mo amore, a time will come when I will need it but for now I don't need it...hmm?" He asked calmly but his demeanor cold.

I shrinked back in fear before nodding my head fearfully.

His face suddenly hardened, I think now he looks like he's angry...

"Get out" he said quietly

but I didn't get what he said "Get out!!!" He barked angrily

making me to jump out of the car frightfully before running off towards my aunt's gate.

Vladimir stared at the tiny girl as she ran towards her house.

He laughed coldly making the chauffeur to shiver slightly, he picked up his phone and called one of his private investigator.

"Johnny... Get me every informations about this lady, I'll.send you her name and her picture". He quickly uttered and hanged up.

" Drive" Vladimir ordered coldly.

ELLEN'S POV••••

I breathe a sigh of relief when I entered the sitting room, I quickly ran towards the windows and jammed the locks.

And then I remembered my aunt, fear engulfed me, I started to panick...

What will I tell her?

I decided to tiptoe towards my room slowly.

"And where are you coming from" my aunt thundered angrily making me to flinch

I shifted back fearfully staring at the floor.

"So you've started whoring outside like the slut you are right?" She spat venomously staring daggers at me...

"Aunt...that's not it, the coffee shop was so busy today... And I didn't know that time has–" She landed a hot slap on my cheek immediately making me to wince in pain and am sure it will leave a cut.

She pushed me down to the floor roughly trying to use her long nails to disfigure my face but I pushed her back forcefully and sprinted off towards my room before bolting the door.

I sat on the floor crying loudly, she kept on banging on the door harshly but I refused to open it.

Because of she and her daughter my scalp hurt like hell.

Still deep in thought I didn't know when I fell asleep on the floor.

**************

The next morning I woke up and quickly prepared for school.

Again I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I looked so thin and unhealthy, I also noticed red and pink marks all over my body and my face, my eyes also had dark circles.

I smiled sadly before picking up my worn out school bag which is begging to be trashed out and dashed out of my room, I

peeped silently trying to check if my aunt is hiding somewhere or not when I didn't see anyone, i breathe a sigh of relief and quickly ran out of the house happily.

DAYTON'S HIGH••••

"So...mixed economy is a system which combines some features of capital and socialism, both state and individual own means of production.....

That is all for today students, we'll continue from were we stopped in our next class" Mrs Ariel our economic teacher said warmly and packed up her books which was on the desk.

I yawned silently as I watched her put her books inside her handbag before walking out of the class making some of the students to breath a sigh of relief.

My stomach suddenly grumbled loudly because of hunger, making my seat partner which was a girl to stare at me in disgust

I smiled embarrassingly at her.

She rolled her eyes rudely at me before packing up her books, hissed loudly and left angrily.

'Seriously?! such a rude brat, does she even know that am older than her?'I thought silently.

Suddenly someone grabbed my hair tightly and pushed me down to the floor roughly making me to wince loudly.

Who else could it be if not for Anna.

I chuckled dryly.

"What do you want Anna? Why can't you leave me be?!" I fired tiredly at her

"Oh my....someone's trying to act all hot and fierce..!" She gasped dramatically before laughing it off...

Making all the students to burst into laughter.

"How dare you lay your filthy little dirty fingers on my mom yesterday when she was only trying to correct you" she said

angrily before bursting into tears like she was hurt trying to make me look like the bad egg in front of everyone.

"After everything she did for you ellen, she clothed you, fed you different foods, gave you shelter and this is how you decided to pay her back..." She knelt down on the floor crying loudly

"Trust me Anna I did nothing to your mom.." I tried to defend myself

"That's a lie! You pushed her down the stairs, she even broke her leg!" She screamed insanely crying out fake tears.

'Wow never knew she's a good actress' I thought inwardly.

She suddenly stood up and held my hand tightly before falling down to the floor

hitting her head on a desk.

Can't believe she will go this far??

She really made it look like I pushed her...

Unable to move I stared surprisingly at her, bryan ran into the class with Luke, Anna's boyfriend.

Luke quickly scooped her into his arms and stared at me with disgust before dashing out of the classroom with anna while Bryan walked

towards me angrily and slapped me hard on my cheek.
