Chapter 17

Ilayda's POV :

I woke up this morning feeling someone's arms holding my waist, i knew it was Christan, i tried to wiggle my way out but all i end up doing was being pushed closer to the warm body next to me 

" No....mhm....stay....stay with me" he whispered with his husky sleepy voice and for some reason it was such a turn on.

" baby wake up it morning already" i turned around so that i can face him , he was still closing his eyes, i touched his beautiful face and kissed him slightly and quickly on the lips but he end up pushing me further to him and deepening the kiss " no , baby, morning breath" i was trying to get out from his hold but his arms were firm around me " sweetheart you know i don't give a fuck about that so come here"  i smiled and let him do what he wanted .

 Waking up next to him had sort of became  a routine and a necessity for me, i don't think i can have a life without him anymore. 

Suddenly i came to remember where we are and why we're here and i looked at Christan and it seems as if the same ideas are crossing his mind , he left my side and got up pretty quickly , 

" good morning babe , pack your bags again we're leaving after breakfast " before i can protest he stood up and left. 

I knew there was something in his mind and i wished he can share with me and the events of last night , no one came to explain what actually happened and now here we are ready to go back again , without knowing anything, it seems that Christan and his father had a mutual agreement as they both did what ever Christan was saying , but in the other hand the rest of us were left in the dark. 

We soon arrived thanks to Christan 's fast and furious driving , as we were about to get inside the house Christan stopped us " i want all of you to stay in the house and no one is suppose to leave until i arrive , and i'm being serious " he looked at Maribelle " belle i'm being serious no one is allowed to leave the house and if anything happens call me and the police " 

" why wouldn't anyone of you tell us what's going on, we're all scared here and we have the right to know , you've been dragging us back and forth and now telling us to stay still ,if you don't let us know i will got out on my own to find out " responded a very angry Maribelle.  Christan lowered his head and took a deep breath then looked at us again 

" i know this hole situation is confusing but i'm asking you right now to trust me and do as i say please " we all  nod and each one of us went to her room tired from everything that just happened , but not before making tea to Mrs Elfonso .

 I was hiding in the panic room when the door suddenly opened and  I was scared that it might be them , but my father came into the picture 

" sweety , come here " he held me in his arms " i want you to be a strong girl , alright ? And I need you to know that we will always be here for you , watching over you " his words seemed strange to me and i didn't know what he means " daddy, where's mommy " he looked at me with tears threatening to leave his eyes "baby , your mama is gone okay"  i started crying , i knew what he meant " daddy , i'm scared please lets leave this place they can find us " 

" okay baby , we......you will leave trust me , and now i want you to be a good girl and do as i say and remember everything  I'm saying"  i nod 

" good girl , now i want you to take this bag and be careful don't drop it and i want you to go inside there" he assured me with his fingers towards a mirror and i looked at him confused to what he wants me to do , then he slowly pushed a button and the mirror opened like a door to reveal a secret passage 

'"go, get inside and don't wait for me just run get to the road and ask someone to get you to the city someone will come for y- " we heard a crash outside and we both knew that it was them "dad please i don't want to go please i want to stay with you please " he held me in his arms and i cried " baby we don't have time  go now , i love you don't you ever forget that okay " he pushed me towards the passage " no daddy come with me no,no" he kept pushing " don't look back just keep running " the door closed and i could still see what was going on on the other room because of the glass, i started running but i did the mistake of looking back , it's then, that i saw my father getting shot no one but multiple times but the deadly one was in between his eyes , i stayed watching his lifeless body fall on the ground while a woman  with blood covering her face standing next to him laughing , the last thing i saw was her picking a knife and getting down to my father , i couldn't watch it any more i started running , as fast as i can , running until i can no more.

 I woke up screaming and crying , it had been a while since i had such dreams , but why suddenly i'm starting to see them  and for the first time in a long a while i was scarred remembering that woman 's face.

Christan's POV :

If i was going to start this war i needed first to make sure that every one will be safe , that's why i hired men to protect the house and the building where we work and every member of the family.

 I knew that getting in the middle of all this will require me to do things i never did but i was more than ready for the safety of my family and the love of my life i had to do this , i had to correct my father 's mistakes.

 And now it's time for the next step.
