I couldn't believe that my so called father would do such a thing. Well he could totally torture a person to death but going against his word was something I didn't expect from him.
I couldn't even contain my anger, I cursed at his retreating back and promised revenge even if I was fully aware of the impossibility of
My words.
Danielle rushed in and helped me back to my room. She was so worried and angry at the same time. I couldn't even imagine what she must have gone through these past few days. The guilt must have been gnawing at her, she kept asking if I was fine and all. Even with my affirmative answers she still decided to call our family doctor (because if we went to the hospital with the severity of my wounds, too many questions will be asked). He came and briefly checked my vitals and tended to my injuries and pave my sister the appropriate medications.
After this has been settled, I asked Danielle if we'd ever be able to communicate with our family ever again. She sighed and said no, not even she knew about where exactly they we're headed, that was the main reason she stayed behind because even though they caught her, she would have nothing to give away.
We both sat in silence as the realization that we may never hear from our family again dawned on us. I imagined what my mom would be feeling like having hypothetically lost her last and first daughter to a monster, I wasn't even sure if she knew that Danielle survived the attack or not. This was a bittersweet situation, we were happy that they were able to escape but also skeptical because we've both lost our most important family.
As I was about to speak, my evil father walked into my room and made himself very comfortable on my sofa. He took a swig of the whiskey he was holding and smiled at us. He said that he had apparently forgiven us but we needed to be under strict supervision. Therefore, he made a unanimous decision and declared that after this section was over, we'd go back to being homeschooled. I told him that Danielle was graduating and he said the he'd still watch over her in college. He was so freaking suffocating but still I knew Danielle would soon escape. It was always going to be that would be left with this maniac.
After the fiasco that my dad pulled the week before it wasn't really a huge shock that I'd be the talk of the school when I return. As I was still reeling from the unexpected attention from other students, I saw the trio calling towards an empty classroom. I smiled and approached the group, they were all smiles and rainbows, I was trying to figure out why they were so happy.
Diego jumped at me with a hug and congratulated me, I was honestly stumped, what could be the reason why they're so enthusiastic on a Monday morning.
After a lot of back and forth, i finally got them to tell what was going on.
Apparently, after my father threatened my sister and I, he publicly announced this morning that I was going to be the successor to the whole Thorne family estate when I am twenty. Honestly, I was stricken with shock, the day before this he almost killed me and promised to let me pay for my family's escape, but I knew that I had to pretend to be delighted to keep up appearances. So I smiled and acted delighted when they congratulated me.
Only I knew the reason for this sudden announcement, he wanted to cage me so I wouldn't escape, he had already proclaimed the whole Thorne family to me and made sure that everyone and every corporation both legal and illegal know who I am. If I stray or refuse to corporate with him, I will be in massive danger, and if I do corporate with him I will be his pawn in exchange for the security he is giving me.
Throughout the day I was feeling uneasy, I didn't know if it was the fact that my father just made a target or a prize or the fact that everyone was staring at me or the fact that my stomach was in knots. This was all too much for me, I'm literally just thirteen years old and because of that useless father, I'm feeling worse than an old man on his dying bed.
As I was returning to my room, I texted my sister that I wasn't feeling good. I usually texted my mom because we were always scared that someone would discover that I'm not really a boy but a girl, but my mom is not around so I had to contact Danielle. She told me that she was coming and that I should wait for her in front of my hostel so that I won't collapse in the stairwell.
She got to me five minutes later and checked my whole body while asking me absurd questions. She asked what I ate or if I fell down or if I was poisoned by dad's enemies, I literally rolled my eyes at her. I asked her to get me to my room before I loose my mind. When I got to on my room, Danielle was eerily silent, she was staring at me for a while before she finally snapped out of her daze. Then she asked me if I had ever had my period, I told her no because obviously i hadn't had it yet. Then I realized to my greatest horror that I had stained myself.
I was literally freaking out mainly because of what I've heard happens when a girl is on her period, can you imagine the horror of bleeding from your privates.
This literally just added to my troubles for today because there was no way in hell that I am preapared for this shit. I think Danielle realized that I was losing my shit because she told me that I'd be fine and told me to go and have my bath while she stocks up on pads and pain relief.
After the whole ordeal, I really wished that I was actually a male because I could literally feel my intestines fighting one another, it is so damnnnnnn painful. 😖
