I am here in the living room waiting patiently for my daddy. I look at my fingers and fidget with them. "Baby Girl." says a familiar voice. I look up and smile happily. I stand up and run to my daddy. "Daddy! I am so glad you are here. Come on! We need to get ready!" I say excitedly. My dad looks at me with confusion. "Get ready for what Libby? What's going on?" he says sternly. "Master Nelson has given me permission to leave the mansion for one month with you. He wants me to enjoy myself a little and have no regrets. He even gave me my own Black Amex card. He told me to pamper myself. I just have to get a few things. I will be right back. Okay?" I say calmly, but shaking with excitement. My dad is in complete shock, but then he narrows his eyes. "Baby, please tell me that you are not buying his lies. He wants you to fail. Why would he be nice all of a sudden? I don't feel good about this." he says sternly. He is looking over his shoulders paranoid. "Daddy, there are not that many guards, besides he isn't sending any guards with us. He knows I won't misbehave. I don't want to be punished, daddy. Trust me, everything is going to be fine. I will be right back ok." I say as I walk upstairs to my room.
*William POV*
Nelson has to have an ulterior motive for agreeing to something like this. Libby has never been allowed to leave this mansion since they first brought us here. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that I can spend time with my baby girl, but I still feel uneasy. This has to be some kind of trap or something. The McMillan's don't let you off easy. Permission to live somewhere else for a whole month? I know something is up. He is extremely possessive and cruel. I am afraid for Libby. I wish there was more I could do. All the punishments and things they have made me do, just so that Libby is okay. I have been through hell and back again for her. She doesn't know what I have done for her, but I would do it again if it meant she was okay. I sit down on the couch and wait patiently for Libby. I am sweating fiercely. The nerves in my stomach are knotting painfully.
"Willy.. there you are." says a voice that makes me go pale. "Mr. McMillan, Sir, what..... can I do... for... you?" I say nervously. He chuckles and pats my shoulder, "I hear you and Libby are spending a whole month together! How lovely!" I open and close my mouth trying to say something, but nothing comes out. "Thank.... you..... Sir." I manage to spit out. He leans in close to my ear and whispers, "Don't f*ck it up, Willy. You wouldn't want Libby to get hurt now, would you? You better make sure she has the best and worst experience of her life and I really hope that she doesn't enjoy herself too much and she comes back as she left and still a pure woman. I suggest you don't let her have too much fun. Otherwise, your balls are mine. If my son is displeased once, I promise you that there will be no place you can hide." I nod my head rapidly, "I swear Sir, everything will be fine. She will come back just as she left." He chuckles darkly, "For your sake, let's hope so." He walks away and leaves the house.
I shake my head and laugh nervously. Just as I sit back down, Libby descends the stairs. "Okay, I'm ready. Daddy? What's wrong? Why are you shaking?" she says with concern. I shake my head and shrug it off. "It's... nothing, let's go have some fun." I try hard to make her believe me. I know she is suspicious, but she shrugs and we head towards the gate. Gino approaches us with a smirk. I gulp inwardly. I fear him a lot. The things he has done to me, they will be permanently ingrained in my head. I tremble slightly and try to act casual. "Willy! So I see you have a month's vacation. What a lucky dog. I sure hope you don't have too much fun without me," he says grinning big, "Miss Libby, here are the keys to the BMW, Boss told me to make sure you had a way to get around on your little fun getaway with your Dad." He hands the keys to Libby and walks by me and puts his hand on my shoulder and squeezes to the point of pain, while Libby is walking towards the car, I try to act casual, but he leans in and whispers in my ear harshly, "Enjoy your fun while you can Willy. Once you come back, hell starts all over again. I have lots of stuff for you to do." I flinch away and he just chuckles and walks away.
*Libby POV*
I hand the keys to my dad and we leave the mansion. The first thing I want to do is visit my besties. Well, that is if they still want to associate with me. I am not even sure if they still live in the same place, but I really want to see them. "Dad, I want to go see June and Luther. They must think the worst about me. I was supposed to go back the next day and I never even called them. They must hate me, Daddy." I say with a suffocating sadness. He smiles sadly and we head toward our old neighborhood. We pass by where our house is, but it is condemned and it is burned to the ground.
My eyes open wide with shock and I look at my dad. He stops the car in front and looks down sadly. I see tears falling down his face. "Daddy? What happened here?" He sighs and looks at me. "The house burned down a couple of days after we were brought to the McMillan's mansion. Your friends think we died in that fire Libby. It might be best if we didn't go see them. Especially, since you are only allowed to see them for this month only. Wouldn't it be unfair to them, to find out you are still alive and then after a month be taken away from them all over again? They have finally moved on Libby. I didn't want to tell you, but I figure it is best if you know the truth now," I have tears falling down my cheeks and I feel like I am going to suffocate.
"No..... please... I.... want.... to see... them. They are my friends!" I say sobbing. "Baby Girl, what if Nelson is having someone follow us and he sees you close to Luther? Then you would be putting his life on the line. I wouldn't want you to have to live with the guilt all your life of his death or the pain he went through. We don't know what Nelson or Thomas have planned for letting us go for a month. It seems a little suspicious don't you think? They are not kind people baby, they are monsters. They are the Mafia." he says sternly. I know he is probably right, but I was so excited to see my friends. "You're probably right. Let's just go get a hotel for the month and maybe go out to eat for now." I say calmly.
I am starving and suddenly feel exhausted. We drive around for a while as I look at the changes that have happened in my neighborhood. We head to my favorite restaurant and eat dinner. We then decided to get a few movies and then we headed to the store because I didn't bring that many clothes. I know what you're thinking, but seriously I was just so excited that Master Nelson let me go for a month that I just wanted to go. Now I am regretting not packing more. Oh well, I can use my Black Amex, right? I paid for dinner that way, so why not clothes too? Once we did all that, we headed to the hotel. I walked up to the counter and the lady just sneered at me. "I would like a room please, with two beds, for one month," I say determined. She laughs cruelly, "You cannot afford our rooms, you need to go somewhere else." I look at her angrily and show her my Black Amex card. "I am perfectly capable of paying for this. My fiance gave me this card and told me to use it. Are you really going to deny the future Mrs. Nelson McMillan a room? I guess I will just go to your competitors and maybe they will treat me better." I say growling. I didn't want to use that card, but she pissed me off. The poor lady's eyes bugged out and I see her manager rushing towards my dad and me as we walk towards the exit.
"Please..... madam... please... I am so sorry for my employees' behavior. We would be more than capable to accommodate you and your-" he says but I interrupt him. "My father." He nods his head, "Please follow me." He leads us back to the counter and the lady is visibly shaking. "I am so sorry. Please, I apologize for my behavior. I need this job." she says with trembling lips. I smile smugly, " You should never judge a book by its cover. Next time I suggest you learn to show respect to everyone. May I have my room card please." I say calmly. I try really hard to keep my anger in check. I can't believe she was so rude to me. My dad is looking at me in shock. The manager thanked us for staying and decides to upgrade our room for free. We head for the elevator, but as we enter I suddenly feel a cold chill and goosebumps covering my body. The air has an electricity or something. Hmmm.... very strange. My body shakes with the cold air and I just shrug it off. The elevator closes and we ascend to our floor.
*Evan POV*
Son of a b***h! I hate coming to this f*****g hotel, but as usual, I have to take care of business. Since my family owns this hotel and the whole chain of them, I am now in charge at the moment, since my father had to go to hell to take care of matters with the Dark One. Truthfully I just wanted to go to my company. I am twenty-one, and still, wish my life was different. I just want to live a happy life with my sweet angel. I was in the hotel office looking over everything and talking to the head manager when my demon Arzal started getting agitated and pacing. My angel side was trying to calm me.
"Mate! Libby! Our mate is close. I can sense her. We must find her. Get up you idiot." says Arzal. He is trying so hard to take control.
"What? How is that possible? Where is she? I am not letting you take control! Stop!" I say growling. I am excited though, I can finally be with my sweet angel.
"Excuse me, Sir, I must deal with someone. We have a very important client and this dumb employee is chasing her away." says my head manager and runs out of the room. I walk around the desk when I glance at the monitor and my breath leaves my lungs. Libby! It really was her, but who is that man with her?
"MINE! WHO THE f**k IS THAT? LIBBY IS OURS!! Arzal screams angrily.
My eyes glow bright blue, Arzal is close to the surface. I grit my teeth with anger and try to maintain control.
"Arzal, we can't lose control. We can't let anyone sense who we are. Please we just found Libby again. We can't leave again. Dammit, stop."
I feel him retract and go to the back of my mind. I take a deep breath and continue towards the lobby. I open the door. She's gone. NO! Where did she go? I practically trip over the lady at the desk. "Move! Where did that woman go? Where?" I say as I shake her shoulders. She is crying uncontrollably. "I.... don't.. know... t-talk to the m-manager... I.... just... got.. fired." she stutters while wiping her eyes. I rush towards the manager and see him walking in my direction, "Mr. Foster? Is everything ok? You look like you lost something." he says sincerely. "Where did that woman go? Who was that man with her?" I say growling. He is trembling now from the tone of my voice and points towards the elevators. "I gave her and her guest the best room we had available since she is the fiancée of "The Nelson McMillan". I had to make sure she was taken care of, otherwise he and his father would completely destroy us, for mistreatment of his fiancée. The man that is accompanying her is her Father," he says softly and walks away. I feel my whole world spinning and I am gasping for air. I clutch my chest. How could she forget about me? She's marrying someone else, who just f*****g happens to be in the Mafia! What the f**k! That man and his family are a pain in my family's side. They are my worst enemy. I have to confront her. I have to see her. She is mine and I will not accept defeat!
*Nelson POV*
I am sitting down in a meeting when my phone dings. I casually look down and see that she has been using the card I gave her. Excellent! She has gone shopping, went to eat, got some movies, and now she has gone to a hotel. I smile smugly. She officially will be indebted to me for life. The more she uses it, the more I will have complete control over her. My plan is working perfectly. I excuse myself and walk to a private room. I dial my insider who I have following my sweet Libby. He informs me of everything that she has been doing since she left the mansion. I grit my teeth and feel the veins in my neck popping out. She went to her old neighborhood. She didn't go to her friends, but I know she planned on it. Maybe I should pay them a visit, once I return home. I will make my sweet Libby watch as I kill that boy of hers. She will never have anyone but me. She is mine! He also told me that she is staying in a hotel that is owned by the Fosters. I want to destroy that family and everything they stand for. I want to own their business. It would benefit me and the Mafia. Hmmm... I wonder how I can make this work to my advantage. I chuckle darkly and disconnect the call. I head back to my meeting and take care of business.
