Sold To Him

Chapter 17

1 month later

Violet POV

It's been a month since I last heard from the gang. It's been a month since I last saw Blake.

I tried calling and texting him but he wouldn't answer his phone nor reply his messages. He just completely shut me out and ignored me.

I slowly starting to remember everything that happened on the day I was shot. I sacrificed myself for Blake. I put myself in danger for him. I don't know why I did it but I did. Now I'm not willing to get myself hurt anymore. As selfish as that sounds, I'm not gonna take a bullet for a gang leader that my dad sold me to. But I can't help but think I made the wrong decision.

Ever since the day I announced that I was going home with Jacob, Blake stop visiting me. He never came back. However, Lucas visits me every day until I was discharged. I always asked him about Blake but he always changes the subject. I was confused as to why he changed the subject when I mention Blake but I don't push the topic.

When I discharge from the Hospital, Lucas helped get my stuff from the mansion. I was hoping to see Blake for the last time before I leave but he wasn't home.

Now it has been a month since I moved back with Jacob. Not going to lie, it feels different here. Jacob always spends time with Vanessa, his girlfriend. As much as I hate her, I can't stop my brother from seeing her. And who am I to tell him who he can love and who he can't love, right?

I have been spending a lot of time with Lucas lately. He would visit me almost every day to check up on me and spend time with me. He would take me out to eat or watch movies with me. Sometimes, I would often catch him starring at me and every time I caught him, his eyes are filled with adoration. Or maybe I'm assuming things. But he would immediately look away.

I really enjoy his company. He wasn't like Blake. Blake is cold, rude, ignorant, and doesn't care about anyone but himself. Lucas is different, he always makes me laugh and a very easy going person. Lucas is a great guy. Any girl would be lucky to have him. I need to stop comparing guys to Blake.

But I can't but miss his presence. I miss being around him. I miss getting lost in his blue eyes. I miss his annoying smirk. I miss him.

"What's on your mind, Love?" I jump out of my thoughts and turn towards the familiar voice. Lucas looks at with a worried expression. He rubbed his hand on my thigh, reassuring me that his there for me. I gave him a weak smile before turning back to the TV.

Currently, we are watching a movie in the living room. Since Jacob decided to spend the night at Vanessa's place. Lucas decided to come over and accompany me. We sat on the couch, with a comfy blanket over up and popcorns in our hands.

"Blake is lucky to have you Violet" Lucas suddenly says.

I almost choked on my popcorn when I heard his name. I turn to look at him and raised an eyebrow.

"I know you were thinking about him" He states, my eyes widen at the fact that I was caught. "Blake doesn't love. He prioritizes his gang more than anything" I could feel a pair of eyes starring at me. "As our saying says, Mafia over lovers" I looked down, letting my hair fall to cover my face, his hand still rubbed against my thigh.

"But I can tell he cares about you Violet. He just never shows his emotions"

"Yeah right," I scoff.

One thing I know about Blake was that he doesn't show his emotions. Because he doesn't want to be seen weak or vulnerable and that's why he often shut people out.

"He has been searching for you ever since you left, Violet and he finally found you but only to lose you again" He sighed

My eyes widen at what he just said. Lucas pushes my hair back and lifts my chin gently so my eyes would meet his brown ones. His eyes flicker between sadness and something else I can't figure it out. He looks...vulnerable.

"As much as I want to make you mine..." He says softly "Nothing can change the way you feel about him"
