The Billionaires Daughter

Chapter 6

The (boring) Ball.

As we came to a stop, Xavier being the gentlemen turned off the car and graciously got out while heading to my side of the car and opening my door. I took his offered hand and remembered what my mum always told me “feet first the head ducked then the rest of the body.” I got out and immediately was blinded by the flashing of the camera’s no doubt it would make the headlines tomorrow; I just hope they don’t write something bad.

Xavier held my hand tightly as we walked up the red carpet and towards the huge double doors when I heard something “are you and Mystery boy dating? Who is he? Do you two know each other?” Great I thought already jumping to conclusions.

I ignored them walking in steps with Xavier. “I hope you don’t break that face with that frown, cuz I don’t want any of your goo on my tailored suit.”

“Don’t worry it won’t be on your suit because as soon as we get out of the party I’m gonna burn that suit. And I won’t I just heard something…….. Don’t worry.” I thought telling him about the questions would be stupid as we are strictly friends. Imagine what my dad would do to him if he thought we were dating. That brought a huge smile to my face and I looked at Xavier to see him nodding approvingly at me.

Finally after that long walk (it was only 20meters but hey you try walking slowly in heels and that on a red carpet!) we made it to the door and one of the guards I know, Austin he took us to the teenagers room then we would be joining the adults in the dining room then the boring speech and then home after a short dance.

“Nice to see you Rosie you look constipated do you want the boots in the back?” he asked me because he knew me so well and knew how much I dreaded heels and so I always kept some high heels boots in the back.

“No thanks if my mum sees that she will eat me alive. By the way how is Mary? I haven’t seen her in months!” I asked Austin.

“Marry is great thnxx she is pregnant and very cranky but she is my wife and yeah she can’t wait to see you she always says that you have to admit something to her and it makes me wonder of this confession includes a boy?” at this Xavier’s hold on my arm tightened to the point where I knew it would leave a blood strain mark.

“I can assure you it doesn’t and can you show us the way to the ‘teenage area’ and please tell me that snotty witch is not here I really can’t put up with her.”

“I’m sorry princess but she is.” Austin said.

As we walked to the area I was getting more annoyed  for some reason probably because that witch would take Xavier from me and probably sin with him even if she has to drug him she will do it because that’s who she is.

“Don’t worry I’m not gonna fall in her trap okay I know her from when we were kids and I still remember how she was jealous of you because you were always prettier than her…………….. Now smile because you look no better than a troll right now with that frown.”

Austin came to a stop in front of a huge white fancy double door and yanked it open for us. As we entered the first thought in my mind was why do I smell alcohol in here? But as we walked in I remembered it’s just too much perfume!

“Glad you could make it, it’s great to see the princess bless us with her late presence” came the squeaky voice I dreaded the most.

“well the pap’s are always looking for the fairest of them all and I happen to be late because they wanted to take as much pictures as possible from me.”

“Well I didn’t know the princess brought dates who is this handsome man?” she asked touching Xavier’s arm and slowly pushing her chest towards him.

“This is Xavier my-----”

“Boyfriend” Xavier answered for me and I turned my head around to see him giving me a wink and a million dollar smile.

“Yeah we have been dating for a really long time and he is the perfect man for me: he’s nice, funny, smart, and hot, loves me and I him.”

“Thnxx love and as you can see she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.”

“Wow I didn’t know ugly people could find love as well.” She remarked thinking it would hurt me?

“Well fake people aren’t always the most attractive people either.”

“Who are you calling fake? We all know you had a facial surgery to get that clear skin.”

“I think water was my key not doctors. Unlike some people I put myself through tough times to be a better person and I’d rather help those with cancer than spend the money to look pretty.”

“Okay smart ass I wonder how your dad will like it if something happened to his daughter.” She smirked and I knew I was in a room with professional killers and only Xavier, Austin and I were in the room to defend ourselves.

As I turned around I saw Austin being strangled by one of them and Xavier was already fighting with 3 others and the rest were coming for me. I closed my eyes and slowly slipped my heels out of my foot without being noticed which was hard to do with my other foot.

Suddenly one of them ran forward with a knife and threw a kick backwards just in time for him to cut my leg while being kicked in the stomach and that cut felt deeper and blood was gushing out.

I put all my skills out there and being the fearless one I grabbed the knife in the middle of a kick-cartwheel to stab the next person who attacked me.

When I finished that last person I was exhausted and couldn’t move my leg because it stung. I looked around to see Xavier fighting off two people who looked taller and stronger than him so I quietly made my way through the dead bodies to stab one of them and it worked but as I jabbed the knife into his back he turned around and punched me right in the gut and I fell backwards and started fading into darkness.

Five days later*

I was so tiered and uncomfortable, I tried to move my fingers and they felt to be still attached to my body then I tried to open my heavy eye lids and was immediately blinded by the lights. It felt as if my sense were coming one by one because the next thing I knew I could hear someone screaming and that small headache that was growing was now pounding my head.

I groaned as I tried to move to sit up two hands grabbed my shoulders and put me back down.

“Don’t move beautiful you’re injured.” Somehow that voice was so commanding and gentle it almost reminded me of….

“Xavier?”

“Yeah baby-girl it’s me don’t move the doctors are coming to check on you then we can talk okay.” He seemed so relieved to see me alive.

“Okay” was all I said.

When the doctors finished checking me and asking me questions they finally answered my question “what the hell am I doing here and why can’t I move?”

“Miss Rose you were in a fight and your right ankle bone has a scratch on them and also you have two broken ribs and you have been out for almost six days now. You’re parents are—“

“Doctor I think that’s enough information for now could you please leave us alone for a couple of minutes?”

“Yeah sure Mr. Hastings.”

When the doctors walked out I turned my head to see Xavier with one of his arms bandaged and five o’clock shadows under his eyes he looked like he hadn’t slept in days and it made me wonder what the hell happened to me and my family and speaking of family what was the doctor gonna say about my parents?

sorry about the wait i was a little hesitant on writing this story but thnxx for the inspiration BFF.
