Chapter4
I parked my bag to follow them but before I left, I stared at my evil stepfather.
“I will be back Logan, in a big way and I will make you suffer.”I sternly told him and he chuckles.
“In your dreams right. Take this trash out of my house.”
“Miss Claire this way please. We’ve got a flight to catch.”I bite my lips in anger and followed them out.
“Get in the backseat.”I entered the backseat of the car and shut the door. One of the guys sit at the drivers seat while the other stays in the backseat with me.
I just looked outside the window as the car sped off. I thought about how my life was when mom was alive, after she died, my life now and my life after now. I began to wonder what life holds in stock for me as a slave.
“Claire things are gonna be fine now. My master can be a nice person but mostimes cold as long as your don’t break any of his rules you won’t have problems.”the guy beside me said.
“Rules?”I sniffle.
“Just do all that is required of you and you won’t have problems at all. The master hates stealing and also barging into the master room without being called upon is a terrible sin.”
“If one does offend the master. What then will happen to the person?”
“The person will be sent to the cold room.”the guy on the steering said.
“The cold room? That sounds terrible.”I mutter.
“It is. By the way I’m Bia and he’s chao.”the guy beside me said.
“Are you guys like Chinese?”
“I’m not Chinese Chao is but Chinese is one of our official languages though.”
“Wow. I heard Singapore is beautiful.”
“It is.”
“Uhmmm.”I nodded looking outside the window.
“What happened to your face?”I touched my bandaged face and my mood changed.
“I’m sorry… its okay if you don’t want to talk about it.”
“Well my step dad smashed my face into hot food.”
“What the fuck!.”Chao exclaimed.
“I’m sorry about that.”
“Thanks… So tell something about your master? Does he have a name.”
He chuckles “Of course he does Darrell Bingwen, cold, rarely talks… but you are never allowed to call his name. Such person will be put to death.”
“Seriously?”I gasped.
“Yeah. When you get to a new place you need to adjust to the environment… I just pray you don’t get into trouble on your first day.”
I inhaled deeply and looked outside the window. I can’t believe I’m going to meet a cold and mean master. This is all Logan’s fault. I wonder what he’s going to tell dad when he comes looking for me.
All of that doesn’t matter what matters is that I’m must survive and make him pay for all the has done.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

About one hour after that bitch left, someone rang the door bell.
Who could that be? Probably her wretched father.
I open the door to meet Adrian.
“What is it?”
“Ain’t you gonna let me in?”he frowned.
“Say whatever you want to say here.”I sternly said.
“I came for my daughter. I guess she told you she’s going with me today.”
“Well your daughter is not here. No one told you to abandon her.”
“I never abandoned her and what do you mean she’s not here. Stop playing games Logan and hand her over.”I could sense that he was getting furious but just trying to keep his cool.
“I said your daughter is not here.”
“Well I’m not buying that shit. Hand her over or I call the cops.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Its not a threat. Its a statement of fact and I mean it. Where the fuck is my daughter?”he yelled with anger written allover his face.
“Well your daughter ran off to be with one of her numerous boyfriends.”
“Claire is not promiscuous. Tell me where you are keeping her.”this time he grabbed the hem of my
Collar.
“How would you know when you abandoned her for eight years.”
“I always visited bastard and I know my daughter well. She would never do such a thing.”this is getting messier than I thought. I thought it would be easier to tell him false things about his daughter. How come Ellie never told me he always visited?
It would have been easier to come up with a better lie.
“Well you don’t know her at all. After her mother died, she started bringing men into my house and when I corrected her she ran off probably to be with her boyfriends.”
“Fuck that’s not true.”
“It is. I treat her as my daughter too and will never do anything to harm her. Her sudden change came as a shock to me too.”I smiled inwardly knowing he would believe my lies.
“You are good at acting Logan but you can’t fool me just the way the fooled Ellie. Who knows if you didn’t have a hand in her death. If I find out you did, I will make sure you die too. And as for my daughter, I give you just 48 hours to provide her or you get ready to go to jail. You just messed with the wrong person Logan.”he pushed me forcefully and walked to his car.
He gets in and drove out. I never knew this man loved his daughter this much. He definitely meant what he said. What do I do now?
That’s by the way, why is Owen yet to awake? He should be up by now.
I walked to his room and knocked but no response. I pushed the door open to see Owen having seizures.
“What the fuck? Owen.”his breathing was getting reduced. He was just mumbling unfathomable words.
I tried carrying him but he was damn too heavy. I quickly called for my gatekeepers help and we both carried him into the car. I started the engine as the gatekeeper rushed to open the gate. I drove out in full speed.
I watched him as he was been wheeled into the emergency room. My heart bled seeing my son suffered that much because of me.
“We will take it from here sir.”the nurse said shutting the door.
I won’t forgive myself if anything happens to Owen.
