CHAPTER 13

1312 Words
MOLLY’S POV I was so pissed when I saw my mother’s number flushing on the screen. Why is she calling me in the first place?  Heck, I hate her so much. What does she want from me right now? Hasn’t she done enough already? Hasn’t she hurt me enough? This one time, the only time that I am having fun with someone I really like is when she decides to call and ruin everything for me. I will never forgive her. First, she actually believed the bullshit that my father died a natural death yet all signs clearly showed that someone murdered him. Now this? “Are you okay?” Edward was concerned with my change of mood and my low energy. “I am fine. Actually I should go now, it is getting pretty late,” I said forcing a smile despite what I was feeling inside and picking up my handbag. I was so irritated and the last thing I wanted was to vent my problems to Edward. This is the first time that we are meeting and he doesn’t deserve this from me. I am not supposed to involve him with my complicated issues. “Should I take you inside?” He offered but I was not in that mood to be all lovey-dovey again thanks to my mum ruined that moment for me. Just like the way she ruins everything else in my life. “No, I am fine Edward. Thanks for offering though. See you next time,” I said getting out of the car. The strong gusts of chills hit my face replacing the warmth that was in the car. “Angel, can I have your number?” Edward asked and handed me his phone just before I could walk away. I was sitting on the fence on this issue but eventually I decided to give him my number. He has been so kind to me in the short time that we had spent together and that made me believe that he deserved to have my number. I know that I promised myself to keep a low profile after my father’s killing but Edward has proven to be someone that I can trust. He is the only person that I can trust actually. “Thank you so much Angel. I will give you a call once I get home.” He promised. “Oh, your coat,” I had started walking away when I recalled that I was in the comfort of his court. However, before I could call him back to take his coat, he had already driven off. Great, now I am stuck with his coat. I don’t know why I suddenly felt some type of way concerning him when he left. Is it because I have just remembered wheat my dad once told me? My dad told me that no one can be too kind towards you without expecting something in return. Everyone always wants something in return. Can this be the case with Edward? Huh, maybe I am just overreacting. Besides, I love him because of his money and the fact that he is a gentleman. That makes me selfish too, right? It is a balance then. We are all selfish. My phone rang again and it was my mum calling. Rolling my eyes, I decided to pick the call. “Hi, what do you want?” I asked with a dark tone. “I want my share!” She said rather rudely. “Listen here mum, dad left you the house, the car and all his businesses. What I have in my account is mine,” I said this through gritted teeth. Why is she always pushing me to the edge? Can’t she just let me be? “I want my share. I am his wife, I am your mother. Give me all that money!” My mum insisted and this made my stomach churn. Why does she have to be a b***h every single day? Can she just be a good mum for once and love me as her daughter. She has always been selfish and I really don’t know what I did to deserve this kind of treatment from my own mum. I really wonder how dad tolerated her for all this years now that she has proven to be impossible to deal with. “If you were his wife and the love of his life as you claim, then he should have left you all the money that he left me. He had that choice but he chose me” I told her. “You are such an i***t. I will ruin you. I am so disgusted that you are my daughter!” She yelled on the phone before hanging up. As I walked along the pavement, my heels clicking and my hair being blown by the gentle wind, I knew for sure that the world against me. First, it took away my hero leaving me in all this pain and suffering. I am only 22 years old. I don’t deserve this kind of life. I deserve to be happy and to enjoy life just like my peers. I don’t deserve to carry all this weight on my chest. This is too much for me to handle. I quickened my steps and I eventually ended up running to my hostel. Once I got inside my room, I quickly locked my door. Sighing deeply, I rushed to get the black box which had the photo of the two of us. It was my 21th birthday and my dad and I had paused for a photo. Who knew that this was the last time he was actually going to be present in my birthday? The pain I felt was like a hot, sharp knife, covered in salt, slicing through my skin and into my muscles and bones. Tears started streaming down from my eyes like water from a faulty tap. The pain was becoming unbearable and therefore I returned the picture and locked my closet as if nothing happened. This was not my first time crying myself to sleep. I have done this so many times ever since the evil monster decided to kill my dad. If someone can show up in my life and take away this pain. I want to feel loved and cared for again. I want to feel alive because right now I am dead inside. I have all this pain and hurt piled up inside my chest. Someone should save me from this torture. ** EDWARD’S POV By the time I got to my hotel room, I couldn’t contain my excitement. Angel had made my day. She was perfect and I couldn’t wait to hang out with her once again. The small intimate moment that we had shared made me crave for her even more. Thinking about her made me feel so good. I was literally in cloud nine. I have never achieved this kind of high before, even with the drugs that I have been using. My body and my mind knew so well that I was going to chase her. I know that she will make me weak because love makes people weak but I am going to try it with her. I want to feel the high once again. I want to enjoy my life with her. I have accomplished so much things in life and right now I should as well settle and enjoy it with her. She is going to be mine. I was not going to rest until I ensure that she is fully mine. I want to make her happy. I want to see her smiling. I want to take her around the world with me. I want to spoil her with all my billions.  But first, I have to take care of this stupid b***h, Molly Summers.
