His Weakness

Chapter 5

** Adrianne POV**

Knock.. Knock…

I groan when I hear someone knocking on my door and put my head under the pillow.

“Miss Adrianne” I heard, Anna, my maid’s voice calling my name repeatedly “Miss, you have to wake now”

“Go away, Anna” I grunt under my soft pillow.

“It’s your fathers order, Miss”

Shit.

Definitely a great way to ruin my day, I thought before getting up from my bed and unlocking the door.

“Sorry, but you need to prepare for the meeting” She speaks while quickly taking the dress from my commode.

“What meeting?” I sighed while rubbing my eyes lazily and look up to the clock. Damn, it’s still 4.30PM. After my music and dance classes I take a quick nap, which I guess lasts longer than it should, but since it’s the weekend, my parents are normally never at home so I can do whatever I want.

Anna puts the dress on my bed and quickly go’s to the bathroom to prepare the hot water. “He said it’s a gathering with his friends, Miss” She told me and I roll my eyes.

Another drama..

‘If only there was someone who could kidnap me from this thing.’ I thought sadly before walking into the bathroom to take a shower.

Honestly, I don’t care about this stupid meeting, but decide to not make my parents mad and just follow Anna and prepare myself.

-------------------

I sat on the table with my father’s friend son and daughter, who seems to love to talk to each other and leave me alone with my mind, not that I care because I never liked hanging out with them anyways.

“So tell me, Audrey” I hear someone say to me and call me with the wrong name. I turn my gaze lazily to the blonde woman who is wearing way too much make-up, making her look way older than she really is. “I heard you’ve changed schools? What’s wrong with your old one?” She’s snickering and I notice the others who are seated beside her giggle..

“I’m Adrianne, not Audrey, that’s my sister” I say sighing in anger but I won’t let her win. “And I’ve changed my schools because I dont want to be in one that lets people like you, so stupid you can’t even remember people’s name, join.” I said with my innocent face and finish with a mock smile which makes them gasp and glare angrily at me.

“How dare you!”

I raise my eyebrows and shrug “What you can do? Tell your parents?” I mock her before getting up from my seat and decide to go to the garden, away from all those people and their drama.

I hate them.

I hate being here.

I hate being myself.

Suddenly I feel someone drag me away from my place to the corner roughly and before I can see who it is…

SMACK!!

I gasp and quickly turn my head.

My furious mother stood in-front of me with anger all over her face.

“Why did you hit me, mother?” I shout while touching my cheek, trying to stop the tears.

“What have you done to Laura?!” She yells and I can see the girl smirking from the corner of my eye “How dare you speak to one of your father’s friends daughters like that?! Ugh...Why did God leave me this stupid daughter?” She shouted with a disgusted face. She looks at me before turning around and leaving me standing there shocked at what she’s done.

Isn’t she my mother who’s supposed to protect me and keep me safe from this world?

I quickly shook my head to stop my thoughts before I cry. I walk towards the exit.

I’ve had enough...

** Gavin POV **

“Hey, Harry said next week” Leo informs me and walks into the Garage where I was fixing my motorcycle and takes a seat on the nearest chair beside me.

I put the screwdriver back before turning on the machine after I nodded my head to answer him.

After listening to the machine which was like music in my ears, I turned it off and sat beside him after I take a towel and clean my hands which were covered in oil and dirt.

“So, the works done for now?” I asked and he nodded his head as an answer.

“How about the clothes store?” He pointed out “He still hasn’t pay anything for his debt” he added.

I shrugged “I already visited the man and he promised by the end of the month, just wait until then” I explain before washing my hand and changing my clothes.

“Are you going?” Leo asked when he saw me dressed and take a helmet from the table.

“I fixed the bike and it’s time to try it on” I smirked before putting the helmet on and firing up the machine.

Wroomm…..

I need to pump my adrenaline since everything has seemed boring for me, I thought before leaving Leo back at the Garage.

I can’t tell you how happy I was when I felt the air hit my face.

Speeding, I like the feel when I drove my motorcycle.

I take a deep breath of air. When I drive my bike, it’s so relaxing and calming to me.

That is, until there’s a girl with a dress walking slowly on the road where she’s not supposed to cross it.

“s**t”

I curse when I realize my speed is too fast. So I hit the break and quickly shove the handlebar to the left before I hit her.

BRAAKK… I fall from my bike to the ground with a loud screech.

I groan and slowly get up from the ground and see my bike, my poor bike who just got finished being modified, laying on the ground and I can see it broken and needing to be fixed, again.

“Oh my God, are you okay?” A girl’s voice shouts and I feel she, whoever she is, touch my shoulder and try to help me get up from the ground.

“ARE YOU MAD?! CROSSING THE STREET LIKE THAT!” I shout to the girl and stopped immediately when I recognize the caramel eyes with tears on her cheek.

She looked scared and when I look closely, she looks gorgeous with a beautiful dress and light make up on her face.

I take a deep breath before slowly releasing it to calm myself.

“I.. I’m sorry” I hear her murmur with fear in her voice “I don’t know where I’m going and didn’t realize i was crossing the street and then it was already too late when I noticed you were heading to where I was and I...I..” I cupped her face and shook my head to shut her.

I sighed dejectedly...

“Sorry for shouting” I speak with a different tone and she nodded slowly before turning down her face and sobbed.

Sighing, I embrace her and let her release her fear.

I know it must be a shock for her and my shouting didn’t help either.

I didn’t know it was her who stupidly crossed and almost got hit by me, but I guess it was lucky that I was the one who saw her, not any other man, seeing as how cutely she was dressed.

After a while she slowly pulled out.

“Sorry” She said softly and I help her get up from where we sat on the ground, hugging.

Luckily it’s already 8PM and it’s getting dark so people won’t give us curious gazes, especially when they know who I am.

I shrugged “I don’t mind”

She sighed before take a look to where my bike lay on the ground “Um.. Your bike”

I follow her gaze and scratch my neck “Yeah, it needs to be repaired, again” I told her and make her turn her gaze worriedly to me “But, it’s fine” I quickly added.

Damn, what is it with her eyes?

Why does it always make me so weak?

She nodded but didn’t say anything.

“What are you doing here, Adrianne?” I ask when I slowly pick up my bike from the ground.

“I..” She hesitates and I look up to see her eyes which looked sad “I don’t know” She said when she met my eyes.

What’s wrong with her?

She's so tiny and fragile, I never meet a girl as vulnerable like a sad princess like her..
