Chapter 15

Evelyn's Pov.

I narrated the ordeal I left the office to meet Cassidy and she was extremely furious but worried at the same time. She was scared for the security of my job and what he might do especially when I slapped him but that was the least of my worries right now.

I was torn and slowly sinking into regret, I didn't know what I had done by leaving the three cute Kings. They were all I could think of all day at work and it hit worse as every maltreatment conceded at me.

"Wait! Are you saying they are not even humans?" Cassy had shrieked in horror Andi nodded slowly.

"Three powerful and beautiful Kings Cassidy, I feel I made a mistake coming over here. I don't know but everything suddenly seems boring without them, It was better listening to the arguments over me than coming back here."

She stared at me as if I was spewing gibberish and shook her head.

"Go home Evelyn, your father hasn't really been nice these days. We'll talk about your mysterious Vampire and Dragon King tomorrow at work." She blew a kiss and left me standing before a house I detested so much.

The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a familiarity that haunted me in my past.

Cold glares from my father, a snare from my mother and some mocking giggles from my sisters.

I didn't know how to feel, they felt so unreal. How can everything be forwarded to the future so fast?

" You're so pompoms that you can't even spare your father a greeting! What a brat!" My mum spat and stood up and I still couldn't say a word, I felt tongue-tied and glute to my lips and swallowed until my bag was yanked away from me forcefully and emptied only to find nothing.

My hair was yanked forcefully to the back and a hot slap landed on my skin which made me scream.

"Why aren't you with any money today? Why will you leave the house only to return empty-handed? How dare you?" She yelled at me the dear Lord helped me not slap this woman, I was boiling in anger too and a profound strength that shocked me. I feel energized each time I'm angry, and it was the reason that made me slap the CEO boldly.

"Why should I bring money to you?" I seethed back at her and her expression was priceless, she was stunned and I didn't blame her because she never expected me to talk back at her or at Dad before in my entire life.

My Father stood up and walked to me, he was dressed in a black shirt and a matching trouser, towering over me but I looked less intimidated.

" Are you asking her such a question?" I nodded another slap followed which made me sniffle a groan

"You're very useless! You got pregnant out of wedlock and lived in my house for years and this is how you intend to pay me??"

"I was never a commodity to you!!" I yelled, ignoring the sweet smell of fresh bread that my sisters ate, I was hungry and it wasn't good for my baby a bit.

"You were never going to stay here for free, I gave you life, home, shelter, education and you were supposed to pay me back by not becoming a slut and carrying a bastard!" He spat out in anger and I swallowed, I didn't want to reply to his words as part of it was right. I was a slut to three powerful kings who were ready to give the whole world to me and I ran in cowardice because I felt I couldn't face such a world, forgetting the cruel nature of humans.

I needed to take a bath, crawl up to a bed and scold myself as it's been a long ass day for me but his next words threw me off guard.

"Leave my house, if you don't return with money, never come back here again!" He roared at me and Mum shook her head and rushed to hold me. Maybe she's feeling compassionate and could stand the harsh treatment.

"There are lots of chores to do in the house, let her do them first and Maybe we can see if she could fetch any money tonight. Times are hard and harbouring a burden isn't going to be on the list."

I chuckled bitterly and laughed, not believing the people I called parents.

"You both are worse than vipers! I regret the day you came to pick me up at the orphanage!"

She slapped me hard and I fell to the ground, making sure to protect my stomach.

"You're such an Ingrate! Get back inside and clear the mess. You should be begging your father and I so we could reconsider but you're spreading your wings like a peacock. Get inside now!!"

She yelled and I stood up, glaring at her.

"If I ever meet the father of my child, I will sue you both for the rubbish you caused me. I don't know how but I can feel it, they won't abandon me and trust me, it's going to be really bad!" I said with confidence, feeling stupid. I was suddenly wishing to see them, when I ran with my own Legs.

It felt funny to them and the mocking sounds and jeers got to my heart that I had to leave the house and cried out in regret till my body quaked.

I needed them, not one or two but all of them to wrap their arms against me.

What was I thinking leaving my only solace?

I cried more till I got cold, my body shivered in the heavy dew and I slowly traced my steps to Cassidy's house.

But amidst my walking, I felt goose bumps, not from the cold but as if someone else was watching me from afar and when I turned to check, I saw a car instead, driving towards my direction and fear gripped my soul.

It was a black Porsche car and way too expensive to stop before me.

"Are you heading to Houston Street, Block 23m?" The man asked as soon as the wind mirror of the rear glass slid down and I nodded, wondering how he knew because that's where Cassidy stays, with her boyfriend.

"Hop in miss, I'll drop you off."

"I don't have money.." I chewed my lips in embarrassment, he had a decent look and a clean shave, his white shirt gave off a professional aura and I felt relaxed knowing he didn't have the looks of a serial killer but it didn't douse off my nervous state completely.

"Don't worry, someone already paid for everything, he prefers being anonymous.. please get in Ma'am, it's late and dangerous to be out here alone."

I was so curious but I entered and was stunned by the aesthetics in the car, a well proteinous meal was neatly covered, the large screen that displayed some opera and a glass of expensive wine was all it took to bless whoever my savior was till I filled myself and slept off, not knowing where they took me to.
