Cold-Hearted Princess Novel

Chapter 23 New plan

I just realised that I didn’t even know where I was going, so I took my phone, and I checked the nearest train or bus station. One was there in about ten–fifteen minutes, so I walked on. I would have preferred to run, but I didn’t want all the attention on myself. I felt so scared, but I told myself to

move on.

I felt some kind of happiness when I reached the nearest bus station. I went in, and I checked the time tables. The next one left in ten minutes to San Francisco. I thought that would be fine for now. Actually, I was okay anywhere but in Los Angeles.

There weren’t too many people there, so I bought my ticket quickly, and I walked to the platform. The bus was at the bus stop, and I felt the happiness of freedoms. I had a small smile on my face when I felt a muscular arm grabbing me from behind. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t, as another hand pushed a wet cloth to my mouth and nose. It smelled weird, and I could feel instantly the heaviness of my eyelids. An unfamiliar power forced me to close them, and then everything went dark.

*Will you call me later?” Leah asked me with worry when I was ready to go. I held her in my embrace and I kissed her. Even if we were together since high school, she still couldn’t get used to this. She knew they were my priority, and she also knew that I was always coming back home to them. Years and years ago, I told her what to do if I wouldn’t tum up one day.

We both agreed that in that case the most important was to keep Ava safe. I bought a place in France, and she just needed to make a phone call to leave the United States in an hour.

She feared it, of course, but I knew she was strong enough to go through it. I promised her I would follow them as soon as possible, if I were still alive.

“Of course I will, don’t worry. I’m just going to see dad, probably he wants me to get a job done, then I’m coming home.”

“Why is it always you?”

y times. Why me?

I took a deep breath. This question was in my head many

“Because I have a stupid brother,”

“They shouldn’t spoil him from his childhood, and then you wouldn’t have to do everything alone.”

We talked about it many times. She liked Gideon, but she was angry with him. It seemed like I was getting all the dodgy work to get done while he’s living his life happily. It was his life. I didn’t care, but I had a family that needed me, while he only had wheres around.

“Leah, you know how it is. I am the older brother.”

“Yes, but he knows exactly as much as you. And he could let you have a rest sometimes. Would that be so hard for him?”

I had to smile. I held her cheeks in my palms and I kissed her again.

“I’ll be back soon, okay?”

She nodded sadly. I let her go, and I walked out of the house. I sat in my car and turned the engine on. My father called me earlier, he wanted to talk to

Usually when he called me like this, he wanted to give me some work.

1. me.

I parked my car, and I got out of it. Lily greeted me with a smile and motioned to me. My dad was waiting for me in his working room, and she motioned my mum was out with friends.

I thanked her. I felt sorry for her. She was still so young, and she suffered a lot already. My parents treated her well, since they bought her.

Actually, I was the one who found her.

There was another enormous family, running a big organisation. They were really cruel. I have never met worse than them. Their family name was Devilles. Actually, that was hilarious, as they obviously chose the name to scare people off

They kept s

slaves. Mostly young, innocent girls, but they also had a few boys. Usually they were orphans. They made them work for them for free, and they forced them to be prostitutes; they forced them to try their drugs before they would have sold them, and they forced them to do things that others wouldn’t do. But if they refused or failed, they punished them in a terroristic way. Most of them started with the old leader, who was a well–known

pervert. If he liked the new slaves, he kept them for himself to play with them until he felt like he needed a new one.

Only one time I had a small business with them, and I found Lily there. She laid in a cage in her own blood. They said they cut her tongue out a few minutes ago, because she said something that she shouldn’t. I could do horrible things, but that hit me badly.

I couldn’t help. I offered to pay for her. They were laughing when they gave her to me for a good amount of money.

My parents helped her to stay alive. Since then, they kept her safe in their house. Lily asked them if she could work for them, as she didn’t dare to live alone. My parents gave her a job.

I walked to the working room, and I knocked. My dad opened the door and greeted me with a smile.

We sat down, and he offered a cigar for me.

“You know that I’m not smoking.” I told him with a smile.

ou know

“Oh, of course. You

me neither.” He said that with a smile, and he lit one for himself.

I shook my head with a smile.

“So dad, what is the reason you wanted me to come?”

He smiled.

“My son is never patient.” He said, shaking his head. He pulled one of his drawers out, and took an envelope out, then he gave it to me, asking me to open it. There were pictures. Pictures of Alice. They made a few of her at the sea, while she was training, or running. And a few others were about her and Gideon. They were in a busy car park and in a restaurant.
