His princess

Chapter two

Riley

"W-what are those reasons?! Please let me go-" He cut her off
"Be quiet, angel, and calm down. You're safe here" He says calmly.

I look at him, tears streaming down my face.
Why would he want me? Why am I any use to him?
I already hate it here, and he gives me a weird feeling. What if he has something to do with my father?

"Angel, look at me," He says calmly, and I looked up at him.
"Your father owes us a lot of money, and he betrayed us.. so we decided you're payback." He says with a slight smirk.
I let out a sob. I knew he would do something like this, he always hated me...
"Listen, Angel, we don't plan to hurt you. Unless of course, you turn on us as well or try to leave. Got it?"
I nod, still looking at him.
"Words, Riley. Words." He says
"Y-Yes, sir" I stutter out.
"Call me Nathan," He says with a slight smile, walking out.

Nathan

I head upstairs to my office, to see Max waiting for me.

"Hey, Max, what's up?" I ask, sitting down at my desk.

He sits there, looking at me while fidgeting with a pencil
"Well uh, I-I just had a quick question"

"Go on, Max. No need to be so anxious" I say, reassuringly.

"I was wondering if... I could give her the spare bedroom? I mean she's nice and k-" I cut him off, knowing he'd ramble on for a while with reasons.

"Yes, Max, she can have the spare bedroom. But make sure somebody keeps a close eye on her"

"Thanks," He says, getting up and leaving the room.

Max

I left the room and headed down to the basement. I go into the basement, turning the lights on, and walking over to her.
"Hi Angel," I say, looking down at her
She looks up at me, her eyes full of fear.
I pull out my knife and opened it
She winces and started to cry again.
"Angel, I'm not going to hurt you, okay?" I say calmly.
She simply nods.
I cut the ties around her wrists and ankles and helped her stand.
"Nathan said you can have the spare bedroom.. so I'm taking you there. Okay?" I say a bit quietly
"O-Okay, but why are you treating me like this? Do you plan to hurt me or... kill me?" She asks fearfully.
I look at her and sigh
"No, nobody here plans to kill you. You're safe here, but you have to stay here with us."

"What if I don't want to?" She asks
"Angel, I'm not asking. I'm telling"
"O-oh okay.. sorry," she says quietly
"It's okay, come on," I say, walking upstairs and leading her to the spare bedroom.
"Get some sleep, tomorrow will be a long day," I say, leaving and closing the door behind me

Riley

I found a sweater and some sweatpants on the bed to change into, so I quickly changed and laid down in bed, covering myself up with the blanket.
I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, with about a billion things going through my head.

Why am I here? Why are they treating me so nicely? Do they plan to kill me? I think my biggest question is why they're being so nice, and why they gave me an actual bedroom. I also wonder how long I'll have to stay here.. and I hope they continue to treat me decently... Hopefully, this will turn out better than I'm thinking it will. But who knows...

What happens if my dad and his little gang come after, looking for me? I don't want to continue living with him, but then again I have no idea what it's like here. But I know if my dad comes after me it won't turn out good.. and he will probably kill everybody here, and possibly me. But he will treat me horribly and punish me for disappearing, though I can't control this. But in a way I hope he doesn't find me, maybe I can make peace and have somewhat of a life... Nathan seems nice, and so does the other guy- whose name I don't know.
