Chase's p.o.v

“Everyone get out now. Except for those two.” Elizabeth and Matthew quickly ran past my father. Elizabeth giving us one last look before he stepped in slamming the door. “Chase. Explain yourself. What are you doing with the help?” he said angrily I  pushed Love behind me. “Dad-” “I don’t want to hear your excuses! You are supposed to represent this family how your mother and I raised you to. But instead you fool around with these maids.” “Dad you don’t understand for once in my life I’m happy. I think I might actually be in-” “Don’t you dare interrupt me when I’m speaking. I know that this isn’t the first time you’ve fooled around with them but to claim that you’re in love with this one? You met her a few days ago!” The tension was thick in the air as we stared at each other my arm protectively surrounding Love.

I knew my father had a bad temper and I learned from a young age not to set him off and now that Love was involved I couldn’t risk her getting caught in the crossfire. “You need to learn your place. I am done playing games with you Chase, you will end this nonsense and you will start acting right.” “Why is it so hard for you to see me enjoying my life-” “Stop speaking this garbage you don’t know what you're talking about.” “She's more than just meaningless sex and I know that you’re gonna say we haven’t known each other long but we’re taking it slow and getting to know each other. I think you’ll like her too if you give her a chance.” I said stepping closer to him “Enough.” “Listen to me!” “Enough!”

I clenched my jaw as I felt the sharp sting settle into my skin. Love quickly turned my head towards her worry filling her eyes. Her hand reached up to caress my cheek but it was suddenly grabbed by another hand. She looked up at my father in fear “And you! We let you into our home and you sleep with our son!” “Let go of me!” “Shut up!” "NO!" she said yanking her arm from his grip. My father  stared at the short fuming girl who stood in front of him his face starting to turn red. "You’re our slave and you will stay in a slave's place! We own you and you will do as you're told, and if you don't learn your place you will be punished!" He said raising his hand to strike her but I quickly tackled him not caring about the consequences that would follow after. It didn't take long for it to escalate into a fist fight “Guards!”  My father laughed as he gladly returned the punches I threw at him "You're a disgrace to this family. If I didn't do that DNA test I would've never believed that you were son." He said smirking Before I could land another punch I was being pulled off of my father by the bodyguard. I struggled against the gaurd's grip as he stood across from me with that stupid smirk still on his face.

Suddenly I saw Love standing infront of him but I couldn't tell if she was saying something to him or not. My question was answered when my father whispered something looking disgusted by the girl in front of him before he walked out of my room slamming the door. I was panting heavily out of anger as I still struggled to get out of the gaurd's hold "You can get your hands off of me now!" The  gaurd didn't budge which caused me to freak out more."Chase stop." I looked down at the girl who stood in front of me as she caressed my cheek trying to calm me down. Strangely I started to feel my anger melt away and I stopped struggling against the gaurd.“You can let go of him.” The gaurd did as he was told and let me go. He left the room leaving the two of us alone. "You can't let your father anger you like that." "He was going to hit you." "I know....but I don't need you getting in trouble because of me." "I don't give a shit about the consequences! He was going to hurt you!" I felt her hand tense up and I instantly regretted yelling at her. I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me. I rested my head on her shoulder and sighed "I'm sorry...I just...I don't want you to get mixed in with my problems." "I know and I understand." We held each other for awhile letting ourselves be immersed in our own world "I won't let him or anyone else hurt you." I said lifting up my head to face her. She smiled and kissed me wrapping her arms around my neck as I deepened the kiss 'Only I can hurt you.'
