Dollar Daughter

Chapter 5.

The boy talking to Elliot soon looks up.
I duck my face. And then hide against the wall.

Did he see me?
What if he asks someone that he saw me?

Questions like these start to arise in my head.
Calm down Lilith. Calm down. I thought.

Maybe he didn't see me. All I am being is insanely scared. Nothing else.

With these thoughts, I rest my head against the wall and fall asleep.

*-*-*

I open my eyes. Its morning.

What the hell?! Did my father forget that he locked me in the roof?!

I stand and look through the glass. Elliot stands there talking to almost ten to fifteen servants of our house.

I bet dad left early today. Or he was too high to wake up early. I bet he was high because he forgot about me. Or maybe the truth is that I am being too optimistic about him. He must have remembered but didn't take me inside intentionally.

It seems like that Elliot is in a serious conversation. I place my ear on the glass. Nothing to be heard. How stupid of me! The mansion is of 4 floors. And the ballroom itself has the height of almost 2 floors.

I go near the door. Try to open it.
Its locked. As expected.

I go near the glass and knock on it. Elliot doesn't notice. I hit the glass so hard that it breaks. Everyone looks up here. Elliot runs out of the ballroom.

My fingers are bleeding now. Too much manly for a home schooled girl. I thought.

Soon the door opens and Elliot runs inside. He comes and gives me a hug.

"Where were you?! I was looking for you the whole night?! I even asked uncle that where were you but..." I didn't let him finish.

"Now you see where I was. He locked me here." I answered.

"I gathered the servants so that we could search for you. But now your found. Go take rest. Uncle left early today. He said that He will out for a week. He has gone on a business tour. In Japan." Said Elliot.

"I'll go freshen up." I said.
Then I return to my room.
*-*-*

Elliot is currently applying medicines on my fingers. I sit on my bed. "A friend of mine told me that he saw a girl on the roof. I told him that it was his imagination. I didn't think of you that time because uncle told me that he had in a pretty decent place." Said Elliot.

"Yes. The place was dacent. Wait! Your friend saw me?! Did father now?!..." I can't even finish my sentence and start to pant. My throat dries up. What if that wicked dad of mine finds out that someone came to know about me. Someone outside of the mansion!!

"Calm down." Elliot said tapping his hand on my shoulder.
"He's Jake. Jake Sheldon. The son of one of our business partners and my school friend. Don't worry. He can be trusted." Said Elliot.

"I don't care!! But that evil father of mine shouldn't come to know about it!" I shout.

Elliot then explains that he'll take Jake not to tell anything about me to his father or anyone.
I am still scared. The person who can lock me up in the roof because I wanted to go to a party with him, if he comes to know that someone saw me... He can do anything.
