Their Secret

Titles

"I'm not letting you out of my sight" Ashton says tightly holding my waist.

"I know" I say softly. We have been in this place for almost an hour and I am starting to feel very claustrophobic. Ashton has not been letting me go. I am quite glad for it though. I wouldn't want to be alone here. These people are intimidating and scary. I see Casper walking with a girl with his arm around her waist. The images start flowing back into my mind. I try to make them stop but they don't.

"Are you ok?" Ashton asks after my body tenses.

"I will be" I say shortly. I dont understand why I have to be here, I seriously don't want to be in the same room as my captors. The butler tells us to all go into the dining room and minutes later we are seated at a gigantic dining table. Richard is seated at the head of the table and Ashton is seated right next to him on his right hand side.

"So I have heard you all want to know who your leader is so I called this meeting. I know you all heard that my son Ashton is distancing himself from the family but I am glad to tell you all that that is not true. In fact my son is your new leader. I am handing everything over to him. You will now report to him." He says looking at Ashton then at the rest of the crowd in the room. Casper's face goes hard while Ash's face remains devoid of emotion.

"Who is the second in command?" Someone asks.

"My son Casper will be your second in comand" Richard says shortly.

"I'm sure you are all wondering who your queen is" he says smiling," Alexendra will be your queen."

Ashton's face goes from blank to shocked then to angry. I see his jaw tightening and his index finger tapping the table. He really is furious. He only taps on something when he is exceedingly angry. Casper only gets more furious and the rest of the 60 something people are shocked. I on the other hand am just tired. I don't understand what this man wants from me. I don't think I have enough energy to even get angry. Greyson is beyond angry, I have never seen Rey this angry and it scares me to see him like that. The woman with Casper gives me a deadly glare.

"What the hell is queen?" I ask after trying to answer myself.

"You are equally as powerful as me" he says coldly.

"I don't have to get involved in with anything right?" I ask anxiously.

"You have to darling" Richard says smirking. If I had a gun on me I think I would have blown his brains out. I quickly get up and go out of the dining area and walk aimlessly in the gigantic mansion. I honestly don't want to be here. I hear Rey's voice calling me and I stop and wait for him.

"Are you ok?" He asks hugging me.

"No, I am not ok. Your father is making my life a living hell" I say bursting out in tears

"If there was anything I could do I would but there's nothing and it kills me to see you like this" he says holding me tighter.

"I need to leave, I can't be here I just can't."

"I'll take you home" he says wiping the tears off my face.

"What would I do without you?" I ask giving him a smile.

"I don't know and I am glad to say that you don't have to find out" he says smiling back. A few months ago nobody would believe that Rey and I would be this close. I wouldn't have believed it either. We get back into the dining room and I find Ashton talking to Casper. I quickly take my clutch bag and tell him that I leaving with Rey.
