EVANGELINE

Chapter Three - What's the solution?

EVANGELINE'S POV

I woke up in my bed feeling much better, I smiled as i remembered what happened that night.

Flashback*

"Hey, wake up. You're home" a soft voice said. "What, how did you know this place?" I questioned but he didn't answer.
He pick me from the chair and helped me open the door. "Thank you so much Damon" I said as I pointed to my room. He stared down at me, confused. "You remembered?"
I nodded as he opened the door to my room, he set me down on the bed. "Thank You, drive home safely." I said remembering that i had not tell him my name i added "I'm Evangeline" and he gave a nod before exiting my room.
I couldn't be more grateful to be treated this kindly by a stranger, he looks cold but he has good heart.
Flashback over*

One week later*

I took a cold shower and got dressed in a Pink cute gown, I let my hair down and then went ahead in making myself some breakfast which consisted of some toast bread and scrambled eggs.
After that I thought of how terrific my life was because
1, I don't have a job.
2, I'm bored as hell.
3, I'm out of cash!

I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. I shove in some toast in my mouth not even feeling the taste. I still felt depressed after what happened with my Dad.
Though, there wasn't much I could do about it than hope for the best.

"Mom I miss you so much, I can't believe you left me with almost no memory of you." I whispered drinking the whole content of the juice.

Sighing, I got up from the chair. Past these few days, I've applied for all sorts of job but couldn't find one. Then I remembered that I couldn't give up now, I had to keep searching for a job.
I gathered my documents that seemed quite suitable, then I checked my phone.
I had 76 missed calls from Harry and 3 texts. I had been depressed lately that I didn't bother to check my phone.

Quickly, I viewed the message from Harry, It reads: I went to your house but your step mom told me your dad kicked you out. Why didn't you tell me?! Harry."

"Where the fuck are you Evangeline? I'm getting worried."

"Please answer my calls"

I sighed as the thought of me dragged into the dark alley invaded my mind. If Damon wasn't there, I would have been raped. If only you knew Harry.
I smiled as I remembered emerald eyes staring at me, such a very handsome man...

I snapped out of my daydream when my phone rang loudly, it was Harry. I decided to answer it. I closed my eyes prepared to listen to his lecture.

"What the fuck Eva, I've been worried sick about you! Your whole family is, your brother had to book a flight back here. Your Dad is looking for you! How could you be so heartless, you didn't even bother to give me a call!-"

"- I'm so sorry Hazza, I didn't remember to check my phone...I wouldn't ditch you like that on purpose..." I trailed off and hear Harry sigh from the other line.

"Whatever, where are you?" He asked cockily causing me to roll my eyes at him.

"I'll text you the address but don't tell Dad, please, I'd really like to have my space" I warned

"Why? He deserves to know, he already informed the police about your disappearance" He said and I muttered 'I don't care'

"Fine, I won't tell anyone about it" Harry said irritation clear in his voice. I quickly text him the address.

After few minutes Harry knocked on the door, I opened it only to find him with two people I didn't expect.
Dad and Jason, my brother.

"Harry, what the fuck?" I questioned getting pissed off, Harry gave me a cheeky smile and walked out the door leaving me with two angry men.

"What are you doing here?" I ask Jason who frowned.

"It doesn't matter, what matters is you're okay" he said and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Ever since when did you care, Lilly must have done a great job fixing you and your situation" I said causing Jason eyes to widen in shock.

"Eva!" Dad boomed his voice echoing throughout the house "I was worried sick about you and you didn't even bother to call? How selfish of you!" He snapped.

"Last time I checked you were the one who kicked me out of the house and now you're blaming me. Is that fair?" I questioned harshly, little did he know that I had forgiven him. My fragile heart was too small to bear any grudge.

"Eva, I'm sorry I've been stressed lately, Linda keeps getting on my nerve -"

"-It's okay Dad" I interrupted.

"Thank you but Eva, there's another reason I came here to see you" He sighed and I nodded urging him to continue

"Our company is running out of investors and we're losing money" I gasped and placed my hand over my mouth.
I quickly shut the door and told them to sit, how could I have lost my manners?
"How did it happen?" It couldn't have happened just like that, things like that take time.
"15 years ago I borrowed 150 million pounds from the Montenegro's enterprise to get our company back on track, but business isn't doing very well. I've paid 25 million but he's requesting for the full amount"

I groaned and ran my fingers through my hair in frustration.
Why would Dad borrow such large amount of money?!

I was thinking of borrowing money from Jason to start my cupcake business but obviously he's broke! I knew how hard Dad and Jason worked for the company but now everything seems to be going down the drain. I couldn't let this happen!
"What's the solution?"
