It’s not safe anymore
Lotus angrily stormed away from the event, her heart pounding with both anger and determination. A smirk played on her lips, her mind filled with thoughts of revenge against George. He would pay for everything he had done to her, she promised herself. This was only the beginning of her carefully laid-out plan.
But the both of us could not believe that George and Caleb were both in contact it only made her more suspicious of what caleb’s true identity and intention is. George on his own was bad news he reminded her of her broken relationship with Peter which he contributed a major part in by kissing her in public and causing a social uproar..
She was pleased with what she had done, the sense of the lights she felt was very addicting that she wanted more she wanted them to feel the same shame and disgrace they give to her years back. It was this same George that broke her heart years back, it was this same George that made her father reject her and even choose her step-sister over her..
To her family because of the love she still managed to have for her father she have decided to let them off both her stepmother and her stepsister in their involvement in her rejection back then. In as much as she wanted them to pay for the pain that they caused her, she knew that for some reasons her stepmother provide her father with a certain amount of contentment that she didn’t want to take you away so early. He had lost his first wife her mother and now got married to her stepmother because of what he sees in her. But for Lotus she only saw her stepmother as a greedy and scheming person who wasn’t supposed to be around her father if she had her ways she would clear her out of the picture without thinking.
But that was a case for another day. Taking a glance at her phone screen she saw the headlines was already spreading wild. Billionaire tycoon George was dumped and embarrassed by his escort. Though the term used to address her was demeaning and only made her blood boil with anger but you suppress it on seeing George silly picture being posted all over the internet and the stained white shirt that clone shamefully to his body it was a side she would always want to see as a reminder of the embarrassment and disgrace he had brought her in her life.
When she returned to the office, Caleb, her boss, looked at her with a mixture of anger and confusion. “Lotus, what was that all about?” he snapped.
Breathing heavily, Lotus squared her shoulders and met his gaze defiantly. “I am an escort bot, not a prostitute,” she retorted, her voice filled with conviction. “I will not allow anyone to treat me as such.”
Without warning, Caleb’s hand shot out and struck her across the cheek in a stinging slap. Lotus staggered backwards, her hand flying to her reddening skin. She stared at him in shock, the pain of betrayal intensifying the anger within her. She could not believe that he will never lay his hands to touch her she was slowly beginning to see him for who he truly is.
Caleb’s voice was cold and chilling as he spoke. “You will apologize to George tomorrow, or else I will personally make sure those children you are so fond of playing with disappear from this world.”
Time seemed to freeze around Lotus as she absorbed his threat. How did he know that she had kids she was fond of? This was just confirming one of our suspicions that he was actually trailing her. In as much as she would want to ask him point-blank she couldn’t resist the urge that filled her to keep quiet. It was dangerous enough that her children were already been put into this mess and it will be more dangerous if she kept on pressing him m
Finally, her voice barely above a whisper, she agreed. “Fine, I will apologize.”
As she left the office, Lotus’s mind was consumed with worry for her children. She knew she had to do something, and quickly. Without a moment to spare, she rushed to Natasha’s house.
Breathless, Lotus burst through the front door, startling Natasha, who was sitting on the couch, engrossed in a book. “Natasha,” she gasped, “you need to take the children away from here. It’s not safe anymore.”
Confusion clouded Natasha’s face as she put her book aside. “Linda, what are you talking about? Why would it suddenly be unsafe?”
Lotus’s voice was urgent, filled with sincerity. “I can’t explain it fully, but believe me when I say that their lives are in danger. Please, Natasha, promise me you’ll take them away from here.”
Natasha studied Lotus’s face, seeing the fear and determination in her eyes. Slowly, a mix of concern and trust replaced her confusion. “Alright,” Natasha replied, her voice filled with resolve. “I trust you. I promise I will take the children away tomorrow. But you have to tell me everything as soon as possible.”
Lotus nodded, relief washing over her. “Thank you, Natasha. I will explain everything once I can. Just promise me you’ll keep them safe.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“I promise,” Natasha said emphatically, her hands resting on Lotus’s shoulders. “Now go and take care of yourself. We will be alright.”
Lotus sighed heavily as she made her way back home, her mind still filled with worry. She couldn’t shake the feeling that time was running out, that her plan needed to be set into motion soon. With each step, a mixture of determination and vulnerability welled up within her. The sacrifices she may have to make in the pursuit of justice weighed heavily on her heart, but she knew she had to follow through. For the sake of those she cared about, she would stop at nothing to ensure their safety.
Even if it meant putting her own safety on the line..
