Long Lost Love

Chapter 3

Dedicated to Xx_Life_to_Live_xX

In life there are people capable of feeling only two emotions when faced with hurtful obstacles. They either cry or they lash out leaving everyone speechless with a hint of fear... 

"So Lola how's law?" Joshua asked and I responded, "Good but I'm planning to take a break so that I focus more on my fashion line, Red Rose."

Mr and Mrs. Henstridge nodded while Cecelia looked at me while frowning.

"You're planning to take a break?" Jayden questioned looking surprised and I nodded while eating some of the spaghetti bolognaise that was in my plate.

"Why would you take a break from law and why didn't you tell me?" He continued to question and I sighed before answering, "I'm taking a break because it's complicated working there and I didn't tell you because you haven't exactly created an environment where you and I can talk."

Everyone nodded and Cecelia continued frowning while glaring at me. "Is there anything wrong Cecelia?" I questioned and she played around with her fork before saying, "It's kind of funny how a slut like you can come into this family and think she can fit in. You may come from a family of millionaires but we're billionaires so you can't compare Lola," she stated with a bitchy expression while I tried not to laugh at how pathetic and desperate she sounded.

I decided not to interrupt her but let her continue with her rant, "Lola let me be frank with you. Being here with you fake smiling at you makes me sick and I can tell it makes Jayden feel sick too, trust me I can tell. I don't like you, I loathe you and I just needed to tell you that so that you wouldn't make any mistake of thinking we're family because whatever happens I'll never be family with the daughter of a whore. Also don't forget to watch your back around here; you never know who's on your side and who isn't."

I gulped and excused myself so that I'd go anyway that wasn't that room. It was one of those moments where i wanted to just lose control and be angry but i couldn't. Cecelia was a bitch but I didn't think her bitchiness was that much. I wasn't hurt or broken but all I wanted to do was shut my eyes and disappear but I couldn't. Her words hadn't gotten to me but her intentions had. These people were willing to do everything in their power to get rid of me and I had a feeling they were going to go a bit too far to get what they wanted. I had heard stories about the Henstridges over the years and I suddenly shuddered at the thought that they could be an element of truth to the rumors. Something told me I wasn't safe here and I would never be. I decided to head back, when I heard my name being mentioned I stopped just outside the door.

Sylvia was talking to Cecelia and Joshua sounded like he was agreeing. "Come on Cecelia we both know hate that slut Lola and her bitch of a mother but we need to be nice to her until after the wedding because that girl is not very bright she might end up destroying the contract then what?" Sylvia's voice stated and her words were like sharp daggers in my heart. I didn't like her but I had given her the benefit of the doubt. Cecelia's words then rang in my head; I had to watch my back.

"I know that but I can't help but want to yell when I look at her disgusting face and pretend to smile because I feel like murdering her every time I see her. She's an exact replica of that devil Barbara," Cecelia replied and Joshua agreed while Jayden just listened silently not bothering to defend me. Barbara was my mother's name and I couldn't believe that they were calling her a devil, something she was far from. As much as we didn't get along she wasn't a devil. She was just a bitch when she wanted to.

Texting Chris and Brenda to come pick me up they came in a few minutes and that's when I decided to ditch the party.

"What did they do to you?" Brenda demanded angrily and I broke while narrating the whole ordeal.
