SILENT BEAUTY

1 - the move

Drew's POV

WOW! Like holy smokes! I've never been on a private jet before, and I have never been more pissed in my entire life.

Yeah, that's an understatement, like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! I told him I would fly commercial and be in Boston in 2 days. I guess I'm shit out of luck now, I swear I am never going to get used to this sort of treatment. For someone who has never been pampered before it's fucking uncomfortable for me, and I  don't know how to act.

Luke Cassidy has crossed the line though and I get that he's my 'father', but he isn't a dad. He has never been and never will be a dad to me. This royal treatment is not going to win me over not ever.

Okay let me rewind a moment, I am being forced to move across the country to upstate Boston which is awful. I'm leaving behind my friends from school and all my memories I've made her with my mom.

However, I have to move because I'm still underage and I don't have a penny to my name. My 'father' Luke Cassidy who owns, makes and distributes the biggest sports medicine in the world is extremely wealthy! And yes, I said in the flipping world!

The medicine he creates help professional athletes all over and that's just the medicine side of his business. He has other large companies in different parts of the world. I don't want to bore you over the details, the guy is a successful tiger shark if you ask me. However, now he is my father and I have to live with him. I don't see him as a family man at all, I don't think I ever will.

You see he didn't know I existed until I was 10 years old. My mother had kept that a secret from him and me. I was upset that she lied to me, she told me he died when I was a little girl. Learning that not only was my father alive but extremely wealthy hurt me, she kept him from me on purpose and she never got around to explaining why.

She said we were better off without him. She had gotten pregnant with me right before her freshmen year of college, and couldn't afford to go with a baby on the way. I guess she was too ashamed to tell him that she was expecting. My mother didn't want to ruin his life. What a load of bull, I know for certain there is more to that story, but I never questioned her about it. It was too late now anyway.

When he had eventually found out about me, he called my mother every day trying to be in my life. I was honestly surprised, but she never gave him a chance. She told me I didn't need to know him and well as a young girl I didn't really comprehend what she meant by that. Until she passed away 2 in a half months ago! It's still raw to talk about, how she died out of the blue, but I had realized my 'father' paid my mother child support even though they never married. He sent us money but I'm 100% convinced my mother never touched it and sent it right back to him each time.

After 17 years apart we were finally meeting face to face. Luke Cassidy is my only living relative. My mother's side of the family passed away when I was a baby, and my mom was an only child. I have no idea if I have uncles, aunts, cousins or grandparents on my 'fathers' side of the family. I'm sure I will find out soon though.

After about a 2-hour plane ride we were landing on a runway strip surrounded by old industrial buildings. Surprise, surprise when I stepped out of the beautiful black jet there was a car waiting for me and a driver who held up a sign with my last name on it. No 'Father' in sight though, I guess he really is too busy to meet me here. We had talked over the phone, he told me everything was taken care of regarding mom. The house and my living situation not to mention school also... ugh that's the part I'm dreading the most. I'll come back to that in a bit, I had looked up Luke Cassidy before my mom's death, yuck I hate that word, 'death' it burns the back of my throat when I say it.
