Sold to my crush

Alexander’s PoV

As i got down from the car, i watched Lily’s tiny frame run into the house. Not matter how much i wanted to deny it, i knew i couldn’t lie to myself. She was beautiful and i hated myself for thinking or even acknowledging it .

I hated the sight of her or perhaps i believed i did. She reminded me a lot about one of so many things i desperately wanted to forget.

I should probably stop thinking about her and get inside so i can find out why my Father wanted me come here. It was killing me not to know. I observed that his cars were packed in the driveway letting me know that he was already here.

I and my father have had a rough relationship ever since i was a child. We mostly kept to ourselves and spoke only when it was business related. So having him call me here sounding all excited gives the impression that whatever the reason might me would be favorable to me.

As i entered into house i took notice of the white walls and blue furniture. The whole place looked clean and the floors shined so bright that I’m sure if i close enough i would see my refepk though they had polished it just before my arrival.

My eyes finalled rested on Lily after wandering around the house. She looked surprisedly as me. I’m sure she was wondering why I’m in her siting room.

She looked back at a man who i assume is her Father. They appeared to have been in a heated arguement. He looked tensed and she as though she was about to explode.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I wonder what was going on. I might as as well find out from my Father.

“Father”. He stood up from the couch and walked up to me. We shared a firm handshake.

“Now that my son is here”, he said gesturing to me with way too much enthusiasm for my liking.

“Lily, meet your Husband to be, the both of you are getting married in few weeks”.

”

What!!!!”. Lily and i screamed at the same time.

My father was smiling so wide now like this supposed to be good news. I did not think that anyone or even him could smile that way.

I and Lily were silent, still in denial of what we had just heard. But I guess i should speak for myself, for all i know she would probably throw a party as soon I’m gone to celebrate. I have always been aware of Lily’s feelings towards me. It was pathetic, not like she even tried to hide it from me.

The way she stutters and always acts funny around me is not had to miss. At times i take pride in how she reacts around me but it’s useless as i can never reciprocate those feelings.

” Mr Dankworth, don’t worry, she’ll go through with the plan”, i looked at the source of the voice. It was her pathetic excuse of a brother. Of course, he was in supoort of this. He was supposed to protect her from people like me but yet he laid his hands her her and I’m sure that was not the first time.

“She should be grateful for this amazing offer”, He spoke up again shooting Lily a disdained look. An Amazing offer?, He is even more pathetic than i thought. He is willing to just toss her away and for what?.

I did not understand the reason behind this marriage, but i guess I’d find out from my father later on as i do not think that my father would want to get me married, just because. There has to be a motive and even a benefit for him.

“Alright then, since that it settled, I’ll be expecting you all at the office tomorrow to sign the papers”. My father said, shaking hands with Chase and father before moving towards the door.

I simply glared at Chase thinking of the ways i could murder him. I would give him a slow and painful death. I could lock him up somewhere and paper cut him every day and apply chili pepper on his wounds.

I could even cut open his stomach realease rats into it and then sew him back up. I would put up a seat , get some beer and enjoy the show. God it would be worth it so long as i wouldn’t have to hear this irritating voice again.

“Son, Let’s go”. My Father said, snapping me out of his gruesome thoughts. I guess i would have to make plans some other time.

I quietly walked out if the door behind my father. As soon as we were outside the house i threw all the questions i had to my father.

“What is the meaning of this?”. I asked harshly not bothering to conceal my anger.

“Watch your mouth son, i won’t have you speak to me like that”. He continued walking towards his car, the two bodyguards behing him.

“I demand an explanation “. I yelled, i was furious and all i wanted was to break his nose.

” Don’t forget that i created you and everything I’ve ever done was for you so just be a good boy and play along”.

I hated my father so much. . He was a very greedy and selfish man and knew none of this was

me. I’m sure this is just one of was of punishing me. I hated the way he treated me like i was his puppet that he could whatever he pleased with. But i had to keep my temper in check cause this won’t continue for long. I just had to play along for now.

“Of course it had to be her that you’d want me to marry”.

” oh please get over it, how long has it been, huh”. I couldn’t believe his audacity to speak so casually about it.

He got into the car glaring at me as if

daring me challenge him. He finally spoke up after a while.

” You know I’m doing this for you, i just want to find love again”. His eyes feigning sadness and empathy towards me. But i knew better. Any other person would have believed him but not me. Not when i knew who he truly was.

Instantly memories of that day came flooding back. It felt as though i was back there reliving it at all again.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

I tired to focus on the numbers as I repeatedly counted in my head. Trying to block away those memories i had tried to work so hard to forget. My breathing had become ragged and my eyes blurry.

I struggled until my breathing had come back to normal. I looked around and noticed i was alone in the driveway, he must have gone.

At this point it was certian that i would not give him the liberty of a quick death. That would be luxury for him.

I would make sure he begs me to end his life.
