My Father's debt

Chapter 3

Ryan's POV
***flashback to 6 weeks ago***

"Chris Chris Chris, you pathetic bastard," My men had just brought Christopher into our warehouse. Christopher was my father's right hand man, he had been for some time now(about 20 years). I started taking over form my dad 2 months ago and honestly the way my dad has been running this operation is pathetic, so many things have been going on under his nose, including this bastard stealing money from my him. "Ryan, please, don't do this to me, " the idiot says with a whimper, "Unfortunately Chris, I'm not as lenient as my father, I am going to kill your family in front of you and then I will kill you too, slowly and painfully," I bark at him. "M...m..my family? No, stay away from them! Over my dead body will I let you harm them," he musters up the courage to say, I point my gun at him and shoot him in the leg, "Well then I guess I will have to kill you first, then deal with them over your dead body right?" I say before I ruffle him up a bit, shoot him in a couple more places then finally kill him. I hate liars, especially when it comes to my business, and I'm certainly not going to let this liar go this easily, "Go get his family!!!" I yell the instruction to no one in particular, my guards rush towards the exit but stop short, "Ryan, stop it now, you are not going to kill his family, they have done nothing wrong, we will just take away all their luxuaries that is where most of the money went right, all the assets, please my baby, have mercy, you cannot do this" My mom is looking at me with puppy dog eys, her and my dad have both just walked in," Dad why did you bring her here," I say with a deep sigh. He tried to convince me to let the issue go before I had brought Christopher in, he knows my mom is my weakness, I can't do anything brutal when she is around. They manage to convince me to leave the family be, I do give them one condition though, they need to give me another way to get repayment for the debt. My dad  ends up suggesting that we take in the oldest daughter as a maid, I feel like that is not punishment enough for her father's deeds, or enough to make me spare the lives of her and her sister and her mother. I decide that she will become my sex slave, my mistress, the mistress of the devil...

***end of flashback***

Lilian takes a seat opposite me, I hadn't met her till now. I expected her to be ugly, but to my surprise the girl before me is quite beautiful, she has fair skin, and plump lips and she is medium built, I can't see her figure because she is wearing a lose dress but I'm guessing it's quite appealing. The maid she walked in with asks her what she would like to eat. Lilian doesn't speak, she just keeps staring at me. "All of you, leave," I command, the two maids leave but my guards stay put, "I said. All. Of. You!" Lilian jumps a little in her seat, I must have scared her, she gets up as well, also about to leave. "Not you Lilian," I say in a much softer tone compared to the one I used to give the instruction, my guards make their way out the double doors, "Shut the doors behind you,and wait outside for me, " I say as the last one leaves. "What do you want with me," ah, she actually speaks, she has an angelic voice. I look at her as if I she is dumb, "Didn't you hear? You are going to be my wife lovey." She gives me an odd look, a look that is a mixture of fear and confusion, "Why would you want me to be your wife, what makes you think I will agree to that?" she responds. I look at her the same way I would look at a person with a purple nose, is this little girl really so naive, I begin to laugh, like seriously laugh, "Well, because I'm trying to be nice to you, as for you agreeing, you don't really have a choice sweetheart." she remains silent and I take it as a sign that she is done talking. I decide to let her have her way and continue eating my food. She dishes up for herself and begins to eat quietly.

Lilian's POV

I keep stealing glances at Ryan, he has Hazel brown eyes and dark cruly hair that bounces ontop of his head, the hair is not long enough to be tied into a ponytail but it's reasonably long, he is a caramel skinned colored with a well defined chin. He looks round about 25 years old but the way he speaks with authority and so much power makes him seem older. I don't like him, he gives me bad vibes and it seems like he wants to force me to marry him. I eat up the food that I put in my plate quicker than intended, I was really hungry, I did not eat a thing today. I put my tea cup and utensils neatly in my plate and clean my face with my serviette. I get up and head towards the doors, Ryan remains seated, his eyes follow me out the double doors of the dinning room.

I make it to my room without getting lost and get my laptop to go through my dads autopsy report. I requested to get it because I think, even though his body was recovered from a accident scene, that his death was no accident. The report does not give me much to go with. The cause of death written in it is blunt force trauma to the head that caused his scull to fracture and crush his brain, other than that, there is virtually nothing else on the report. I've always wanted to be a doctor so I've looked at autopsies before, this one seems too vague. I let out a sigh,«maybe I'm just looking into this too deeply». I shut my laptop and lie face up, in the bed. «why does everything seem so unreal, I know my father was wealthy so why the sudden financial problems? What happened to all his assets?» many thoughts run through my mind. My phone rings, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Hello," the caller ID tells me that it's Jane, "Hi Lily, are you okay, did you arrive safely?" she asks. I tell her that I arrived safe and that so far nothing bad has happened to me. "listen my baby, you need to be very careful, that place is not safe for you, those people that took you, they can harm you..." I cut her off before she goes any further. "Jane please, spare me the bullshit, if you were so concerned and cared for me so much, you wouldn't have sent me here now would you?" it comes out more rudely than intended, she is about to say something when someone knocks on my door, "Look I have to go, bye". I tell the person on the other side of the door to come in and the all mighty Ryan walks in, leaving the guards (that can't seem to leave him alone) at the entrance to the room. Oh boy....

_I know you probably thinking why the word maid was used in this chapter, well I want Ryan to be a character who thinks highly of himself and belittles others so for him it would be more reasonable to use the word maid instead of aid or house help. I hope you are liking the story so far<3<3_
