Guardian Angel

[3] Family Browne

Lilys POV

Today is not going to be good at all. My father's in debt and they're coming for the payment today. Yes, my dad is a millionaire, but he can't think. He doesn't know financial literacy. The only problem is, we have nothing to give them. My father blew it all, and my paycheck is almost two weeks away. I've run out of makeup, so most of my bruises and scars are visible, which is why I'm wearing a sweatshirt today to keep my body warm. I used up my old makeup on my face.

That's why they want to offer them marriage to either Ashley or Britney. Thank God it's not me.

I'm so scared of this today.

Lorenzos POV

We have to go to the Browne family tonight.

First we thought we'd go to Lily's for coffee because she always knows how to cheer me up, now I really need it, but she's not there, so we grabbed coffee and left. I was pretty disappointed, but it's not her fault. She needs to rest too.

"I bet they'll promote their daughters as some kind of commodity. But I'm gonna ask him for money anyway, that's the only way he's gonna get out of this." I said to Dante and David. They know I hate this shit.

"Exactly. I hate this. I wish the girls were worth something, but they're not." We're here, we're gonna try to get out of here as soon as possible.

I was really looking forward to seeing Lily. I was looking forward to her cheering me up again. I think about her all the time.

We arrived at the door and knocked. Oh my God, why am I doing this job?

They answered the door and their dad, Mr. Browne, answered the door.

"Hello! I'm very glad you came." They invited us inside and we sat down on the couch.

I saw their daughters right away, and they introduced themselves and made these ugly eyes at us. Ew.

"We're very glad you came and we'd like you to marry our beautiful, clever daughters." Said the idiot. I want to go home now. "Would you like some coffee? Or some alcohol."

"Give us some alcohol." I said for me and Dante. I don't want to drink coffee from anyone else but Lily. I don't even want any from her assistant at work anymore.

"Come here!" Mr. Browne yelled.

The Maids brought some alcohol and left immediately.

"Let me get this straight, I don't want the marriage, I want the money. So I'm giving you one last week." I told him roughtly.

"But it's not our fault, it's Delilah's fault! DELILAH COME HERE YOU BITCH!" He started shouting.

As soon as we heard that name, Dante and I turned to each other. Is that Lily?

Lilys POV

"DELILAH COME HERE YOU BITCH!" Shit.

I'm not wearing makeup, which means all my bruises and scars are visible. I have bandages on both arms.

I slowly got out of the 'bed' and walked to the door. I walked down the stairs and headed towards the living room.

As soon as I walked into the living room, I saw Lorenzo and Dante. Are they the ones who are collecting money so violently? From what I hear.

"Lily?"

What the hell are they doing here?

I stood frozen. What's going to happen to me now?

"It's her fault" He said, pointing at me, my own father.

"What? It's not my fault!" I tried to defend myself.
