"She is not to be found"
"Gone missing"
I see my dad speaking to the police. My step-mom crying. Sophia is my step sister. My mom died when I was 6. Later on, my dad married Lily. Sophia was one of the best things in my life and now she is not to be found.
"Carla"
"Lily.. Please don't cry"
"But So-Sophia.." She broke down again.
"Honey" Dad said looking at me. "We need to talk"
Something doesn't feel right.
"Dad do you know what happened to her?"
"She has been kidnapped.."
"No she must have lost her way. They were in the woods."
"Honey I wish that were true. I spoke to her friends, they said she was being taken away by men."
"Do you know who kidnapped her?"
"I asked the police. They said the men were sent by the..Henderson family. "
"No.. No way"
"The police cannot help us honey. "
"Of course they can't!"
"But Dad, why did they take her?"
"We owe them money."
"How much? "
"A lot."
Seriously that was his answer. Is he just gonna sit there like nothing happened?
"Great! You involved you own daughter to pay off a debt and now she has been taken away and you are just gonna sit like that! "
"That was the deal honey"
What?! Is he serious right now.
"You agreed to give your own daughter to pay off a debt! " I am literally furious right now " Are you serious dad!"
"I had no other choice honey"
"You know what fuck you!" I hated him right now.
"I am going to get my sister back!"
"Honey it was a deal"
"Fuck the bloody deal!"
I am infuriated. I feel so disgusted by my father.
He gave my sister to pay off his fucking debts.
I don't care whoever the bloody kidnapped my sister. I am getting her back.
I left my house to go to the Henderson mansion.
I entered it and waited for my worst nightmare to show up.
Instead a woman showed up. She came up to me asked " Miss, may I know the reason that brought you here? "
"I am here to speak about Sophia."
"About that please wait a minute."
I am losing my mind right now.
I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. I don't know how to face him after all these years.
Yeah we met before when we were kids. But everything changed after my mother's death. It's a story for another time..
"Carla"
"Lucas.."
"It's good to see you..Carrie"
God he still remembers that name.
"The feeling is not mutual"
"Ouch.. That hurt"
"Where is Sophia?" I ask losing my patience.
"Well she belongs to us now. "
"She is not a fucking toy Lucas and she does not belong to anyone else"
"Why don't you tell that to you father Carrie. He sold her off."
"First off, Don't call me Carrie! Second off I don't care about the deal you made with my father. I am here for my sister."
"It's not gonna be that easy, love" He is an ass.
"Let me speak with her."
"Rose, go bring Sophia." She goes upstairs.
"How have you been?"
"I am surprised you care."
"Come on. I know you missed me love." Cocky Bastard.
"In your dreams Lucas."
"Carla" I turn around to see Sophia. She rushed towards me and hugged tightly.
"I don't want to stay here without you Carla."
"Then let's have another deal, shall we? " Lucas announced.
"What is it?"
"The contract your father signed was for 6 years. I will make it 3 years if Carla stays and works with us."
The deal with the devil is like a key for the gates of The Hell. But I am not gonna let go. I cannot leave her like this.
"Deal" I had to make a choice. I can't leave her alone in this hell hole. I look at his face with his smirk on. I want to slap him for his arrogance. Now the deal has been made.
3 years in this house and working under him. Then I would be free.
Shouldn't be that hard.
He is not what he looks like Carla. Get a grip goddammit. His family has to pay for their past sins. Don't let his pretty face and sweet words fool you. Do not let you guard down. He is not the same guy you met when you were 6 years old. You have to stay here only for 3 years. Then you can run away.. Again.
