Blood Princess

Chapter 28-Jared

⚠️ sexual harassment ⚠️

VIVI POV:

After coffee with Ivan and promising him I would be ok, I went back to me and Elsah's apartment and balled myself up in my bed.

This wasn't about me. It was about Elle.

All of a sudden there were literal pounds on my door. I wiped off my tears and quickly got up, opening it.

"Jared." I gasped. "What...what are you doing here?" He ignored me and walked in. "Jared you're not allowed to be here. I have a restraining order..."

"Oh relax, baby. I'm here to help." He smiled, stroking my hair.

"Get off of me. You can't be here!"

"I got a friend who works in the hospital, Viv. They told me you and your sister were in some deep shit. I want to help."

"Jared please." I mumbled, my heart beating faster.

"I got the money, Viv. And I'll give all of it to you." He smiled, rubbing his hands down my arms.

"No." I cried, shaking my head. "You're a bad person."

"I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry that I hurt you. But i love you and I want to help you." He smiled, wiping the tears off my face.

"Jared..." I just shook my head.

"All you have to do is come over tomorrow tonight. You and I will have some fun."

"You disgust me." I cried, pushing myself away from him.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him. "You need the money, don't you?" He asked.

I did. Desperately. I couldn't ask the Katz again. Not after everything they've already done. Even if Ivan said he would pay.

"Ok." I whispered. "I'll go with you. Tomorrow night. When do I get the money?"

"I'll give it to you before you leave." He said, suddenly his hand moved to my ass.

"Jared, no." I cried, trying to get him off of me.

"Oh come on, baby. You need to loosen up. You love me. Remember?"

"No. You hurt me." I snapped.

Suddenly, he pressed his lips to mine and I tried to scream and push him off of me.

But he held my waist, not letting go.

After what felt like infinity, he let go of me. "I'll see you tomorrow, baby." And then he slapped my ass and left.

I started not being able to breathe. I hated him. I hated the things he did to me. How he manipulated me.

But what other choice did I have? I could work at the diner all day every day for a month and it wouldn't be nearly enough for Elsah.

I quickly locked my door and went back to the room Elsah and I shared and let myself collapse on the bed.

IZEBEL POV:

I was currently sitting in Noah's office. He was sitting behind his desk and Blake and I were sitting next to each other on his couch.

"Izzi. I just want to start off with that im sorry. For everything those bastards did to you." Noah said.

"Thanks." I whispered.

"So with everything with the Russians...you've told us everything that you know?" Blake asked.

"Yes." I mumbled.

"I want you to know, that we won't let them touch you, Izzi. And I'm proud of everything you've done up to this point." Noah smiled.

"But as of right now, you will no longer be involved in this." Blake added.

"You can't do that!" I snapped angrily. "This is about me!"

"Izebel." Noah said in his warning tone.

"No. You can't tell me to not talk to Ryland. And you sure as hell can't take me out of this!" I shrieked. "My life is the one on the line!"

"Izebel! You will not speak to either of us like that!" Blake snapped.

"Izebel, we are trying to protect you." Noah said, he was still using his warning tone.

"I've protected myself for almost sixteen years! I'm not asking to do this alone, I just want to be included! I know this better..."

"This decision is not up for discussion." Noah snapped.

"Screw the both of you." I growled, turning out of the room.

"IZEBEL!"

I ignored them both and ran to my room locking the door. I quickly grabbed my phone and saw a text from Elsah.

Hey, sorry I couldn't hang tn. Please don't be an idiot. Also, don't freak, but i heard a massive plane landed not too far from here this morning. I checked it out...and it's a Russian plane. I'm sending you the coordinates of where the men went.

I felt my heart drop. If that was even possible. I was running out of time.

I knew if I ran away now, it would be damn near impossible for me to basically have a life. So instead...I did something more rational.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hi, Ryland. It's Izebel I need..."

"What the hell? How did you even get my number?"

"Blaize texted it to me. Anyways, this is important." I whispered, going into my bathroom. "A Russian plane landed not too far from here today."

"What?"

"And Elsah sent me the coordinates of where the men went. So I'll make a deal."

"Izebel. I told you..."

"Option one. You go to where I said and you tell me everything. Option two...I'll go by myself right now. And if you lie to me... like I said...I'll go there myself."

"You're being stupid."

"So are you. You shouldn't keep me out of this, Ryland. And just imagine if my death would be on your hands. My brothers would torture you for eternity."

He growled into the phone and then sighed.

"Fine. Send them to me. I and some of my men will go tonight. As for you, you better keep your ass in that house, do you understand?"

"No, I go to school you know."

"I don't give a shit if you miss algebra, princess. Your life is on the line."

"Fine. Whatever." I groaned. "You better take pictures and tell me everything."

"I will." And then he hangs up. I hold in a laugh. There's no way in hell I'm not going to school.

Sorry about Vivi's part :(
