Chapter 57 THE REASON

I fell on the bed when I got home because my body was so tired. My kidnappers took me to the place where they took me. I can't forget what happened and I admit it was rape but after all but I liked what happened.

I got up and went to the bathroom and I let the water flow freely over my body. Simultaneously with the flow of water in my body was the memory of what happened last night. I can't control myself and I feel like I'm getting hot again. I further turned on the shower and put it at the coldest temperature.

When I finished taking a shower, I went out but I found Hera outside sitting on my bed.

"Oh, thank God, you're safe, where have you been and why did you disappear? Hunter also disappeared after you." I arc my brow at what she said. Hunter was gone also?

"I went somewhere. I'm tired and I need to rest," I said then lay down on the bed.

"Maybe it's a long way from somewhere you go because even Vince who followed you couldn't come back." Even Vince followed me?

"What?" I ask. "Vince follow me?"

"Yeah, and Eugene also disappeared," she said.

That means the three of them left at the same time I disappeared at the bar last night. Is it means that------

"But Eugene also came back and he just said that you can't be found anywhere. It looks like your car suddenly disappeared. Then he also left after he informed us that he hadn't seen you."

"Hera, can you please talk to me later, I really need to sleep." She stood up on the bed to leave me when she suddenly stared at my cleavage.

"Wait, is that a hickey?" I look at my breast pointed by Hera, right side to be exact.

Shit, why I didn't notice it.

"Nah! That was bitten by a mosquito where I went." It was obvious from her face that she was not convinced by my answer because I saw her raise an eyebrow.

"That big mosquito ah!"

"Go please," She stopped carving me and left.

I lay down on the bed then looked at the ceiling.

Who is he?

Who is that man?

I closed my eyes then thought about what happened. the way he touched me, the way he kissed me, the way he buried himself in me is full of love.

Full of caution and full of love.

With that in mind, I couldn't stop myself from thinking that ------ will he come back?

Will he introduce himself to me one day?

I repeated that thought until I fell asleep.

I WOKE up feeling light and feeling fresh and I couldn't understand why. Maybe it's because I was watered?

You are flirty Hailey, and pure flirtation is still on your mind even though you have been molested.

I went downstairs to eat because I remembered I hadn't eaten yet. But downstairs I caught up with daddy talking to Hunter in the living room.

I feel nothing when I see him but I can see the sadness in his eyes.

Dad looked at me as well as Hunter. Dad tapped Hunter's shoulder then Hunter goes without talking to me.

"Hi Dad," I greeted when he could get close to me.

"I heard about what happened last night between you and Hunter." I just stared at him without answering. "Ley, you and Hunter, is there really no hope for you to come back?" Dad asked as if he wants to ask if 'you won't pick up the lollipop that fell to the ground?'

TSS!

"He'll be going to marry Kyla," I simply said then headed to the kitchen, which is dad followed me.

"It's because from the very beginning you showed up to him that you didn't want him anymore." Wow, it's still my fault.

"Because that what I really want, I don't want him anymore. Why are you forcing me to come back to him?" I am not angry I'm just asking.

"To stop you from doing nonsense. You thought I didn't know you were the one who set fire to Kyla's shop, poisoned the fish and shrimp in their fishpond." I looked at dad who was still calm. "You're just my daughter and you're just coming from me. I also know that Eugene and you are planning to imprison the Vice-mayor's son to get revenge on Kyla. For Pete's sake, you'll use other people for your own interest."

"I learned it from you,"

"But not to abused or to hurt, but to be fair and drag them into your level, not you to step down on their level,"

I forgot that my dad is Zacharias Amaranth and he knows everything.

"You knew everything I did but then you didn't know about what happened to me when I was with Hunter?" The expression on his face changed. He took a deep breath before speaking.

"Which one I didn't know, that Hunter is abusing you and he brings a woman to hurt you? That you are his slave, that Kyla lived with you and they were the ones who caused my grandchild's miscarriage?"

I was stunned and could not speak immediately.

"I know everything from the start Ley, the only thing I didn't know was the day you disappeared because my staff didn't follow you. But after that, I know where your hiding and who's with you."

I look down because I didn't know what to say to daddy.

"I didn't leave you if that's what you thought, we didn't interfere with your life because that's what you want. We let you live with him because we know that even if you're hurt you're still happy to be with him. I told you, you're just my child so even if I close my eyes I can feel what you feel."

"But why are you sending me back to Hunter?"

"I want Hunter to be part of our business. You know his capability in managing. And the only way to become his partner is by marrying you or Kyla since her father is one of my allies. Besides, I saw the sincerity in him when he said sorry for what he has done to you."

"You mean Kyla and Hunter----" I didn't finish my question when daddy preceded me.

"Hunter doesn't love Kyla anymore. If they're just getting married it's just because of business. We need Hunter to be one of our men in business, this is the plan and everyone agreed on it."

"Does that mean if I agree to marry Hunter again he won't continue marrying Kyla?" I ask while waiting for dad's answer.
