Chapter 4

After starting our drive to Jacksonville again, Harry starts to taunt me about many things.

During the ride he laughed at my use of spoons while having every kind of food and called my habit of using napkins for a several times weird. He also asked me sarcastically if I want to eat an apple by using a fork and have coffee by teaspoon. I keep hearing him looking out of the window, rolling my eyes for countless times. I close my eyes and feel the warm morning sunrays hitting my face.

"Are you serious you haven't been in any night club yet in your eighteen years lifetime?" Harry asks me for the third time during the ride.

"My answer isn't gonna change Harry." I frown not opening my eyes.

It's true and awkward at the same time that I haven't been in any night club or late night party's yet unless the party is in my own house. Because my dad didn't want me to do the things Michael used to do, partying and spending too much time with friends. He was afraid of losing me and afraid of me becoming a spoilt teen like my elder brother. That's why I was deprived of so many things teenagers from my ages used to do. But I never felt sad for that anyway, because most girls from my age didn't have the things I had or didn't have the lifestyle like me.

"Interesting. You have already passed eighteen years from your life yet you have experienced nothing. Eighteen years is quite a long time." He wiggles his eyebrows.

"I know but I was satisfied with my life. I never tried to think that I'm growing up but now after all this I'm feeling my age and it's really heavy." I smile looking out of the window.

The world I'm living in since the past few days, is a new one to me. Firstly, I was more than surprised when my father forced me to marry Luke even after I told him about Madison. The way he pressured me to take the decision, the way he tortured me, it's like a nightmare to me. I still remember how I managed to run away. I never thought that I'd have to pass my days through this much difficulties.

My life was imperfectly perfect until my destiny made it perfectly imperfect.

"Well now tell me a bit about your family." I smile to skip talking about my miserable life. The more I'm asked about it, the more I get hooked up with it.

He opens his mouth to tell something but a loud sound causes both of us to get shocked. Both of us look behind where the sound came from. My jaw drops down watching two or three car chasing us.

I realize where the sound came from after discovering a man holding a gun in his hand sitting on the passenger's seat. Men with gun? After us?

"Who are they Harry? Why are they chasing us?" I yell surprisingly looking to the cars.

"These bitches!" Harry curses under his breath and increases the speed of the car dangerously. The air around us gets dusty because of the running car.

"Duck!" He commands and a bullet crosses the car's frontal glass just after I do it. The entire environment of the car starts to fill with smoke and the view in front of us gets cloudy.

"Who are they? Can you please at least tell me why are they after us?" I cry covering my ears with my trembling hands. Are they my father's men?

Damn, I'm dead then. I'd better stay with Harry or die than going with my father.

"Not a question I can answer right now Snow!" He tells increasing the speed of his car, keeping his eyes on the rear view mirror. "It's a long story and we don't have time for bedtime stories." He yells flipping his hair from his face.

"Why are they chasing you? After us? Or they are my dad's people? What if they kill us?" I yell crazily looking at him.

"Will you stop blabbering like a firing gun and listen to me like a fool in nursery school?" He is interrupted by another bullet running between the spaces between us, causing another scream to skip from my mouth.
