My Cinderella Story (Be Mine Again)

Chapter 24

I slept for barely four hours when I was awakened by the sound of my ringtone. Reaching into my pocket I answer.

"Tell me you found him."

"Sorry boss, we were a step too late," replied Max.

"Shit! I want him found!" realizing that I was too loud, I lower my tone, "found anything else?"

I push myself up from the small couch in the living room. My body was sore sleeping on that uncomfortable thing. I had no choice since I broke the lock on her front door, I slept out in the living room to make sure nobody comes in.

Max answered taking me out of my thoughts, "He was release early just 3 days ago for good behavior. We were able to track where he was staying at, but by the time we got there he already cleared out of the place. I do have men scouting the area just in case he returns."

"Thanks, keep looking into it," I ordered.

"Boss, I think he's set on vengeance. We found old pictures of Ms. Lovell some torn and some with red 'X' over them and a gun that he may have dropped in his haste to avoid us. He also had her address. It seems he was mixed up with a street gang while locked up and may have had help from them."

"I get it." I simply replied and end the call. More reasons for me to get Amelia to safety faster.

It seems the he had a change of plans when he laid eyes on Amelia. The bastard wanted her. No matter what they are step siblings. How can he stomach the thought of doing something like that to his own sister?

"FUCK!" I was irritated.

I was ready to lay back down when the horrified sound of Amelia's scream ripped through the silent apartment.

Amelia

I knew I was dreaming but I couldn't wake myself up! I just couldn't. Everything was so real. Everything happening exactly the way that it did before. Or was this real? I don't know anymore.

"I want you..." Jackson breathes as his hands press firmly onto my shoulders and he presses the bulge in his pants into my back.

Goosebumps coated my skin at his sick twisted thought. "NO!" I shouted before I knew what I was doing, I headbutted him with the back of my head. He cursed in pain and temporarily releases his grasp on me. I used that time to jump away from him and ran for the door.

Just as my hand reach the knob, I was yanked back by my hair and toss the opposite way landing hard on the floor. Pain and confusion floods through my head. Immediately I screamed as loud as I can hoping that the neighbors would hear. As quick as the scream came it was gone. The sound of my voice was muffled by his large hand.

"You ungrateful bitch!" he lands a punch into my stomach knocking the breath out of me. "I told you that I won't hurt you."

Tears stream down my face as I struggle for air and for my voice, but all that came out was whimpers of pain.

"Shhhh... I won't have to hurt you again Millie, if you just listen." He traces a callous finger down my neck to the indent between my breasts. "You're too beautiful to be bruised."

His hand moved to cup my left breast. "No!" I cried finding my voice. I try shoving him off me but he only laugh as he takes both of my wrists and pin it over my head with one hand. I tried kicking but he sat atop me which only made my struggles worthless. Why was I so damn useless, I thought to myself.

I tried screaming again but that only had him covering my mouth with his free hand.

"What did I tell you, Millie? Should I beat you to submission or are you going to listen?" He stares at me with a sinister look in his eyes. He was enjoying every moment of this. I knew secretly he wanted me to keep struggling.
