AURORA

I heard Willow scream loudly in excitement and then quickly run up to me in the kitchen and tell me about her birthday coming up and had invited me.

"I'm not sure." I begin to tell her.

"My dad said it would be okay." She says.

"Sweetie, I don't think your dad said that." I smile at her.

"He did." Shane says as he walks into the kitchen to get something to drink. 

"Really?!" I look at him not believing him neither.

"I wouldn't lie. He told me this morning it was fine." He says and then leaves the kitchen.

I look back at Willow and agreed to show up. She of course began jumping up and down while screaming in excitement.

The doorbell rang and Willow ran off upstairs to get ready for our tea party and I was finishing up putting snacks onto the tray real quick before heading up there.

When I was done, I turned around to start heading towards the stairs and I suddenly dropped the tray and felt like throwing up as soon as I saw.....Denton.

"Hey gorgeous." He grinned as he looked me up and down.

I quickly snapped out of it and knelt down and began putting things back onto the tray and then I felt him grab my wrist tightly.

"Let me go." I tell him while I struggle.

"Aren't you going to say hi to me Princess?" He grins.

"Hi." I replied sarcastically while rolling my eyes and under my breath in disgust.

I stood back up and put the tray down and tried to walk out when he grabbed me by the wrist again and turned me around to face him as he pushed me hard back against the counter.

"I didn't know you were working for this piece of shit." He says as he leans closer to me.

"Let me go." I ask again.

"Just remember who you belong to. Cause you wouldn't want anything to happen to your brother. Or your new little friend, Willow." He says as he gets real close to my lips.

I slap him and as soon as he turns his head back and looks at me I immediately regret it as he grabs my hair and yanks my hair back hard.

"Please don't." I start to beg him.

He looks me up and down and then I feel his hand start to move up my leg and I try to knee him but his legs are holding mine against the cabinet doors behind me.

"Hey!" I hear Wes thankfully say, saving me.

Denton then quickly turns and looks at Wes and grins.

"Oh hey, is he ready?" He asks Wes.

"Yeah. Come on." He replies and then looks at me with a look that asks if I'm okay. To which I just nod and then wipe the tear that slips from my eyes and falls down my cheek.

While walking out, Wes scowls at Denton and looks like he's about to hurt him.

Shit! Now he knows I work and live here. Willow definitely isn't for sure safe now. Zane is gonna fire me or worse, kill me.

I need to figure this all out and try to explain to Zane why.....wait. Why is he talking to him? Do they do business together? Oh my god, is he part of the gang world also? Holy shit!

I try pulling myself together, restock the the tray with tea snacks again and start making my way up the stairs.

Both Willow and I were playing for I don't know how long until we heard the front door slam downstairs.

"What was that?!" Willow asked.

"I'm sure it was nothing." I lie.

We play a little more with her dolls until we hear stomping up the stairs and then see her father stand in the doorway with an angry look on his face.

"I need to speak with you, now." He tells me.

I just nod my head as I already know this is it. He's going to fire me.

So I get up and start making my way downstairs with him walking behind me until we get to the office and he shuts the door behind us and has me sit across from him at his desk.

We share a moment of awkward silence before I finally say something.

"Look, I know that I should have...." I began to say but he stops me.

"All I care about is Willow's safety that has now been put at risk. So I want you to tell me now what business you have with Denton." He says.

"I can't." I began as I felt the lump rise in my throat and my eyes began to water, I knew I couldn't tell him no matter what.

"You will tell me right now." He asks me more assertively.

I remain quiet for a moment and try not to look at him though I could feel him scowling at me as he waits for me to explain. I guess it wouldn't matter and he does deserve to know.

So I take in a deep breath and let it out before I look at him and begin to tell him everything.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
