My One Desire

Chapter 1- The beginning

Lilly's POV

*FLASHBACK*

I ran around the house, laughing as I searched for my father. I ran upstairs exited to show him the family drawing I had done with one of our maids. Me, my mother and my father stood hand in hand in a park next to a tall oak tree, I had drawn the sun in the corner of the page and had a little puppy sit obediently next to my mother. I stopped outside his office and waited for him to tell me to go in after I had knocked.

My fathers was a tall, sharp man with short black hair with strands of grey. His piercing green eyes held anger and hatred and his lips never formed a smile. At least they hadn't for the last 3 years. I had inherited this striking feature of his. If there was something we shared was the same coloured eyes.

As I entered the office I was greeted by my father and a man I was not familiar with. My father introduced the man as Mr Rodriguez. The man had 4 other men with him, all held cold and unpleasant expressions. I greeted them with a small smile as I walked to my father. As per usual my father paid no attention to my drawing and continued talking to the men around us as I stood my him.

I looked up as I felt all eyes were on me. Mr Rodriguez and my father stood up and shook hands. I was told to sit as my father saw them out of our house.

My fathers office was dark and cold. It was on the second floor of our mansion where the entrance stood at the end of the hall. It was a tall room with a couch and a fireplace at one side and a bookshelf on the other side of the room. His desk as long and held many things; papers, pens, lamp, an old fashioned phone for business calls.

My father made his way in and sat down in his chair. I looked up at him as he spoke. He spoke about my life. The life that he had planned for me. And the life he had just made a deal out of. I was 5. I didn't understand at that time. Memories of that night flooded my brain as I shook my head.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I snapped out my daydream and looked up to the lecture. The lesson soon finished and I found myself packing up. It was my first year at college and since school had just started I didn't have many friends. But then again I never really did, I prefere to keep to myself and keep away from the drama of friend groups after my last one.

I started walked across campus, heading to my dorm room. The feeling of being watched had suddenly stuck itself to me. Was I being watched? I shook the feeling off and continued on my way.

I entered my dorm  and set my bag to the side. I walked to my bedroom and changed into my juicy couture tracksuit. After putting on my shoes, I grabbed my phone and keys and left again. I headed for the park just off campus for my daily run. As i ran my usual route the feeling of paranoia still followed me.

I looked around as I stoped for a rest and noticed a man wearing all black lean against a tree and stared at me. His presence made me feel uneasy and I couldn't excape the feeling something was wrong. It couldn't be right?

I made my way to the supermarket, feeling too tired to cook. I grabbed a handful of snack that would be my dinner that evening.

——————————————————————

Exhausted, I slumped on my bed. I had just taken a cold shower and every muscle in my body aches. As I got ready to sleep, a noise in the living room made my heart drop. My father has paid the school extra money to ensure that I would have no roommate.

Slowly I made my way to the living room, carefully checking every corner. Was this the man from earlier? There was no one there. As I turned to head back to bed i felt a cold point of a gun at the back of my head.

Out of instinct I turned around, pulled out my own gun and aimed for the mysterious person in my house.

"Put the gun down Lilly"

He knew my name? The lights were turned on and as I glanced around the room quickly. I noticed that there were around 7 men all with guns pointed at me in my living room. The man in front of me was tall and had brown curly hair. His hazel eyes held anger and annoyance.

" I said lower the fucking gun Lilly"

" who the fuck are you people and what are you doing in my house? And more importantly how do you know my name?"

The stranger took a step towards me as I took one back. He reached for my gun but he was too slow. I kicked him in the ribs and tried to make a run for the door. Unexpectedly I felt a pair of muscular arm around me and I was dragged down as my gun fell of the floor and was kicked away. The stange man grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder like I weighed nothing. I began kicking and screaming for him to let me go until a peice of cloth was put around me nose and mouth and I began to fall unconscious.
