Chapter 2 Laura

Laura felt as if the weight of the world had just been dropped on her head. Alix on the other hand felt like she was never going to get her freedom.

What is the essence of entering the university only to be brought back to the reality that she was a prisoner in her own house? "Patience she thought, in two months she will be an adult and she can do as she pleases.

Laura thought she could finally take a breather from her father's nagging and protectiveness only to be slapped back to reality.

And if he thinks she would take that lying down, he was mistaken. Changing her features, she moved closer to him now and touched an arm to his leg.

Daddy! "She chirped then slanted a look at Alix in disdain. " I think Lagos will be too crowded for you... The doctor said you should stay in a quiet place.

I understand what you are worried about but do not worry," she whispered in a low voice, I can help you keep an eye on her and tell you every detail. "Didn't you say you wanted to make her trust you so that she could leave the property to you?

Yes, Trevor complied, he patted Laura's lap making her cringe but she smiled at him meekly. "I see the sense in here. Give her a taste then take it from her.

This is why I love you, he whispered for her to hear and she blushed or hoped her impression had been one of blushing".

Alix who was looking at them in silence watched how Laura tucked her head under her father's chin happily making her think of her own father.

Fine, she heard Trevor who was still patting Laura's leg gently say... I will allow you to stay on campus and I won't be coming either but I must know what you two are up to at all times agreed.

Yes, sir, they both muttered.

Alix, I hope my food is almost ready, he asked.

Yes, sir almost... Okay run along now we will all eat like a loving family tonight.

*Later that night*

Laura lay on her bed, her head buzzing from the closeness with her father. How scared she was when she made the suggestion.

She knew he wouldn't take it lying down but there was nowhere she could run to. Going to school was the only way she could escape from him.

Alix... she thought, imagining her face in front of her. She got to stay pure and innocent.

What is there in being beaten daily and being overworked, she was better than her who had been pampered and showered with love. "If only Alix knew how she envied her position she wouldn't complain at all.

At least she was grateful for the funds her father gave her, it would get her started on something. That fund is her ticket out.

Lost in thought, she hadn't realised her father had entered her room with nothing but his briefs on him. "When she looked up she saw him there, his eyes glued to her like some lost candy.

"Fear, hate and everything hurt crept into her mind but she squashed it down and smiled like a dutiful daughter and whore to her father.

How can I help you father? She asked. "See why I love you my beautiful daughter you always know what to say. "He closed his eyes as if he was taking in her scent.

Sitting on her bed, he smiled at her in any way that had meaning, Laura scrambled up thinking of a way to stab home to death.

You know why I have come, he said huskily his grey eyes looking at her seductively... don't stall me, Laura, we wouldn't want to wake Alix now, would we...

Be the good girl you are and lay down gently. You will be gone a long time and I will miss you.

Stripping naked she lay motionlessly on the bed but her father wasn't someone who would take that from her,

Trevor traced his hand on her milky skin... She was slender and fit, innocent and scared... A mixture of that evokes both hunger and power from him.

She was just a year old when this started between them... His eyes and the beautiful grey eyes they all shared but who he wanted wasn't her.

It was Alix, so when he touched her, he saw Alix. When he fucks her he saw Alix... Alix, he thought his brother's beauty. "Her beauty shamed her mother's. And her mother was an angel in human form.

He loved Alana more than his brother did but she chose him and now like he'd always dreamt of he would have his way with her daughter who is the spitting image of her.

Enjoy her body as well as the riches his brother left behind her. "And when he fucks her, she would see it in his eyes, her father's eyes, her own eyes for she favoured the family with the smokey grey eyes.

Lost, in his thought, he gripped Laura hard and elbowed her the same way he'd beat Alix up the other night... And when he pounded into the one he called his daughter, his blood what he saw was the face of another.

Her innocence, her fear... The way she sat on that couch earlier today watching him with those beautiful guarded eyes, he relished it as he continuously beat into Laura.

Laura wept for the umpteenth time when he finished with her. She knew that when he came in to have his way with her his thoughts and eyes didn't see her but another.

She knew the fetish her father had towards her aunt Alana since she was a child but the man came to her night after night even when her mother felt sick.

How she missed her mother who defended and shielded her... The only one who gave her comfort. "Though what happened was not to her knowledge because Trevor had threatened he would kill anyone she tells.

And when she called it a bluff, he had killed the maid that was nurturing Alix and her when they were ten right in front of her to drive his point home. "Since then she had meekly complied with all his wishes".

Her bruises will fade, she thought and she will start anew... she just needs to get out of here...
