At Your Service

Chapter 6: The Escape Plan

The next morning, I am still preoccupied of what happened last night. I have heard Dad already came home this late morning and he is not happy. I know he is mad and I will find out if it is for me. Probably me because I am not using my head pretty well.

I am already had a nice bath and had my makeup on when I decided to come downstairs so I could talk to him.

Going down the stairs, I already heard his voice roaring in the whole room.

"You have been so careless! My daughter is just one girl and you let her escape! What the fuck? I paid all of you a nice amount of money and last night my daughter is almost been taken away from me!" Dad was surely angry right now. "What have you been doing all night?"

I quickly stepped down the stairs and I saw that he is shouting at Jay, Rune, some man and two women. Stepping in the room to reach their vision, they all turned to me.

"Dad."

Dad turned around and a sigh of relief escaped his face as he strides to give me a hug. "My dear, are you alright? Where you hurt? Did they do something to you? God, I was so terrified when I found out that they attacked you last night."

I let out a small and weak chuckle. "Dad, I'm fine."

"Good. Because if you weren't, I don't know what to do anymore. I can't lose you too."

"I know that and I'm sorry." I apologised then that second, my eyes met Rune's. "Dad, don't be angry at them. It's my fault."

Dad seems to be confused. "What do you mean?"

"I escaped last night...like what is did before. But don't worry, I was with Rune the whole time. I forced him to come with me at the club even though he doesn't want to. He stayed there guarding me but I got too carried away with my friends that I escaped from Rune and got out of the club without her permission. They have done nothing wrong, Dad. I take all the blame."

The whole room went silent. I know, Dad never heard me apologise even before. But it's not just about me this time, I have put other people also in danger because of me.

Dad sigh. "Still, they something dangerous happened to you because of such carelessness." He stated, massaging his temples as he leaned his one hand on his cane. "Very well then, I will have this discussion continue later at my office. Rune, thank you for saving my daughter."

Rune bowed his head.

"Alright, get back to work." Dad dismissed them and they slowly left. Jay and Rune stayed behind since they are like the personal bodyguards. We head towards the kitchen we're our breakfast is served. Unlike before, the two will be joining us but they just stood still and watch me and Dad as we eat.

"So, I assume that you escaped with your friend last night...Vick? Was that his name?" Dad asked, placing the table napkin on his lap.

"Yep, he is always the one." I stated with a chuckle. Dad doesn't have a clue that Vicky is gay because he is always assuming that he is my boyfriend. 

"Aren't you and that man dating this time? You two have gone a lot troubles and been through so many things." Dad wondered. Actually he find him handsome and well educated so he is also thinning that he will be a good husband to me. Heck, that is not going to happen.

"He is my best friend, Dad." I recalled him, taking a bite of the sliced apple. "Besides, Ariana is with us so we were totally burning the club."

"I haven't seen Ariana since you two were in college." Dad mentioned. "How is that girl?"

"Oh she's engaged now to a man she doesn't even love." I casually replied without any humour in it because it's true.

"That's...sad." He said awkwardly. "Anyway, how about you? When do you plan on getting married?" He asked teasingly.
