Chloe's pov

"How could you guys mess up... again. It was just a simply task and five brains couldn't do a single thing."

"But boss, I drove us there and back at least I did my job right." Benjamin tries to defend himself.
Lucas sends him a death glare and he zips it up.

"You are so useless."

"But boss..." Noah barely speaks when a punch is set on his jaw. Benjamin tries to stifle a laugh but Lucas is on him next punching him on his ribs. Oliver and William have no time to react before they too are punched and end up on the floor.

Atleast I'm not getting a share of this, I'm new to this and I have the 'being a girl' advantage. I mean who hits a girl at this time and age? We are in the twenty first century for crying out loud.

But how wrong was I. Lucas gives me a hot slap that sends me a couple meters from where the guys are. I hold on to my cheek which is stinging right now and look at him.

"What the heck?"

"Just shut up girl. You screwed your only chance of getting out of here so you are stuck with me."

I give out a sarcastic laugh and manage to stand up. "Oh really? For your information, I didn't chose to be with you. You are the one who kidnapped me in the first place. And if you must know, Liam asked you to settle this with him. If I must say what he said, you should stop sending puppets to him." He painfully twisted my hair and I couldn't help but wince in pain. Noah gave me a 'don't get him more angry' look and I couldn't help but smile at him.

I don't know what was wrong with me but I liked the way I was making him angry." Just. Shut. Up! "I knew I was hitting a nerve so I continued." Oh, little Lucas is scared of big father Liam. " This time he clenched his fist and punched me in my stomach. I clutched at it painfully as I felt my breath drain out of me.

Noah was the first to stand and walk towards me. "Man that's enough. Do you want to kill her?"
I felt Lucas tense a bit behind me before he let go of my hair. That guy has serious anger issues.
I slump myself on the couch and try to recover from the blow. My world is spinning and I keep hearing voices from a distance but luckily I don't pass out.

"You are going to keep her looked up on the basement with no food, water or anything. She has to pay for what those other rich assholes did. I want her dad begging me for mercy when he sees her petite form. I will make her slowly pay for her parents' mistakes. "

" Come on man, that's not the way to go about all these. "Benjamin tried to walk to him but Lucas' fiery eyes was enough to make him look away and shut his mouth.

" Oliver. Take this piece of trash out of my sight. Lock her in until I say otherwise." Out of all the other boys, Oliver was one with the cold heart so I wasn't surprised when he lifted me carelessly and took me to the basement. They rest of the boys didn't say much and I was sure they were used to Lucas rational and haste behaviors.

On our way to the basement, a girl passed us and I guess she didn't even notice me because she was on her phone. She looked around twelve and she was quite pretty. I just wondered what she was doing in a place such as this.

The basement had nothing much and it was just me and myself after Oliver shoved me in. The tiles on the floor were cold and I was sure I was going to catch a cold. My stomach was rumbling and I just realized I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. When did my life turn a wrong turn?

I snuggled closer to a corner furthest from the door and brought my knees closer to my chest. I needed a plan getting out of here but at the same time it was quite impossible considering the fact that this place was under heavy surveillance and Lucas had a battalion of bodyguards.

My stomach made a rumble again and at that time I swore I heard the basement door open. I let out a sigh and shut my eyes. I was still in my dress and it was really uncomfortable being in that position with it.

I heard the knob turn and before I could look for anything to use as self defense, the same girl who had passed me earlier on came in. She had a plate of food in her arms and as the aroma of it wafted to my nostrils, my stomach couldn't help but let out another rumble.

"I guess I got the perfect timing." she places the food before me and sits Indian style with me on the floor.

"Who are you and what do you want from me? " pretty cliché.. I know, but I couldn't help it.

She stretches out her arm for me to shake and I take it cautiously. She motions for me to eat the food and it takes a while before I actually take the first spoon.

"I'm Kate, Lucas is my father and..." the spoon that was now nearly my mouth falls spilling the food on the all over the floor. She looks at me shocked, I bet she thought I already knew.

"You mean Lucas is your dad?"

"Yep, biological father unfortunately." she laughs at her statement and when she realizes I'm just staring at her she gives me a look. "Why are you helping me? He personally made sure no one was to bring me food. Besides, how did you know I was..."
"Here? I saw Oliver bring you here. And whenever he does that I know it's not something good so I came to check up on you."

"Thanks." I mean what more could I say, a twelve year old kid just prevented me from dying of starvation. After I was done, she took away the empty plate but before she left, she gave me a smile saying, "Don't worry. By tomorrow morning you will be out of here."

I couldn't help but laugh at that, I mean has she met her father to know who the kind of person he is?
"How?"

"I have my ways.." and with that she was gone.

Another chapter..
