I reached the bus station at 1am in the morning. It was a one hour walk. I met a few men and women who were waiting for the bus as well. I politely greeted them and sat on the bench waiting for the bus. It was quite cold. I was shivering and my teeth were chattering.
"Here my child take this it will keep you very warm" an old lady said lovingly handing me a soft cosy blanket.
"Thank you so much ma" I replied with so much gratitude. She nodded and I covered myself. I felt warm and protected. Thirty minutes later the bus engine came roaring into the gravel road informing all of us that it was time to go.
Moments later we all entered the bus and a few minutes later it was full and it started off. I glanced back at the bus station one last time I would never come back to this hell hole I once called home.
Leaving the place I've spent all my life hurts and I wish it wouldn't have to, I wish I could stay.
But I knew I would break that promise soon,because both of my loving were both buried here. I can't ever forget those beautiful memories I've come to love. I'll treasure them forever.
The journey was going to be long and I didn't know where I would end up in such a big place.
I hugged my bag tightly and sank into the leather seat soon my eyes fluttered closed and drifted to sleep. I began dreaming about the city and how I would cope in such a big place like New York.
I chose to live in New York because it's where my parents met for the first time and fell in love.
They always told me their first meeting they were only just teenagers by then and they adored each other.
They always hoped that one day I would also find my true love here when I got older. And I have a feeling that very soon love finds people in the strangest places. I wonder how it will find me.
My charming prince would sweep me off my feet by surprise and I would helplessly fall head over heels in love with him. I would be his lady and he would certainly be my man.
I was just eighteen years old. I didn't have experience in the love department and I also haven't ever had a boyfriend before.
My first kiss would be the most blissful day of my life. Love would do wonders to me and complete my soul.
Someone kept shaking my shoulder continuously and I murmured something inherently in my sleep.
"Child wake up" a soft voice pleads.
My eyes flicker open and I let out a tired yawn rubbing my eyes sleepily.
My gaze was fixed on an elderly woman who was warmly smiling at me and I returned her smile politely.
It's been six hours already, huh time travels fast, finally in NYC it was time to face the real world with a poker face.
"Child we have arrived" she said tapping my shoulders and I warmly smiled at her stretching myself.
"Thank you for waking me up ma" I said softly with gratitude and appreciation. She nodded quietly and fondly and smiled at me.
I was here.
I took my bag and paid the driver my bus fare and the other elderly woman's fare as well.
"Thank you my child my God bless you" she beamed happily. She took me by surprise and hugged me tightly. She had a mother's caring heart and it reminded me that I got none of that from Lucinda.
"You're welcome," I said quietly.
She released me and cupped My cheeks gently.
"Take care of yourself child the city can be overwhelming and dangerous" she warns and I nod.
We said our goodbyes and we went our separate ways. I glanced back and she disappeared.
I didn't know anyone here and since I ran away in the middle of the night it was going to be a challenge, but I'm glad it's morning.
I kept looking around the city in surprise. It was very beautiful and it consisted of very tall buildings. They looked like they were made from glass.
Woah.
I kept looking around the city in awe and wondered if it was so amazing. I bet the people most have thought that it was strange.
I sat on a bench with a few people and they kept looking at me strangely.
"Hi, I am Soledae," I said coolly, offering my hand,but surprisingly the girls burst out laughing and left.
I shrugged and opened my bag and began eating a loaf of bread and later drank half of my water and ate a bit of fruit. Once I was done eating I packed up everything and I began exploring the city.
I kept staring at the huge billboards. They had different pictures to display. A lot of them were supermodels and perfume brands.
Wow.
An hour later.
It was now 6am in the morning. Many of the people were dressed in suits and expensive clothes, some of them were very sparkly.
Cool.
The boutique had the most fabulous dresses; they were so pretty and full of glitter and sequence just like the ones Maxima wore.
The high heels were so classy and costly but they were worth dying for no wonder Lucinda and Maxima waste money on these city things.
When I turned around some men were staring at me weirdly and a chill ran down my spine. I had a bad feeling I didn't return their sly smiles.
I left the place and began walking a few minutes later they began following me and that's when I got really scared.
Yikes.
I pushed through the crowds to try and escape them. My heart was thumping wildly in my chest and I started running faster.
"Hey golden locks wait up!" They yelled behind me.
I ran into a dead end and I was trapped. I was about to turn my heel,but they cornered me and smirked wickedly.
I let out a small gasp as the air left my lungs.
One of them started walking towards me slowly stalking me like a predator stalking its prey.
"Don't be shy golden locks we just want to talk to you" he says quietly he eyes me lustfully from head to toe.
And I force myself to speak up.
"I don't want any trouble and am new to the city just let me go..." I pleaded tearfully and they all burst out laughing.
"What's in the bag sweetheart?" One of them asks me to walk towards me while I move backwards.
"Nothing, only my clothes are-are in the bag" I replied softly as he cups my cheeks and forcely kisses me. And I push him away angrily while he staggers backwards.
His nostrils flare furiously, his hunch men try to strike,but he raises his hand to stop them staring at me strangely.
"She's mine I'll handle her it seems she's a stubborn one" he mutters quietly.
And I stood my ground.
Without warning he tore my dress exposing my breasts and cleavage a scream escaped my lips.
He pushed to the ground hard. I picked up an iron rod and hit his head. He lazily collapsed to the ground. His hunch made me try to catch me and I threw the iron rod at them and made a run for it.
They began chasing me and I ran faster. I secured my bag tightly and ran into the streets.
There was nothing magical about the city anymore, it was full of dangerous people and they were very cruel.
I kept bumping into many people, my Adeline pumping in my veins as I ran for my life.
"Catch her!" They screamed behind me I was out of breath.
I ran faster, my heart thumping wildly in my chest. I ran into the road and before I could realize I just heard a car's horn and I screamed.
A scream escaped my lips when I landed on the concrete pavement my head bounced with a sickening thud.
She was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She was the definition of perfect. I touched her golden locks. They were so soft and silky to touch. Her cheeks were a bright pink,her lips were a shade of strawberry.
SOLEDAE POVI sat upright though my head felt heavy and it was arching badly. I stared at him puzzled trying to remember where I had seen him,but I couldn't recall where I had seen him. All the images were blurry and I moistened my lips nervously. I swallowed hard.We kept staring at each other."Who-who are you?" I asked curiously and his penetrative gaze lingered on my face.There was an awkward silence between us. His gaze made me feel hot and bothered."I should be asking you the same question" he answered in a deep husky voice. He cleared his throat quietly, his gaze never leaving my flushed face."Anyway I'll introduce myself" he says quietly."My name is Sebastian Miller, but I prefer being called Hunter and who are you?" He asked, still staring at me thoughtfully.I racked through my brain searching for answers,but to my surprise I got none."I don't know" I whisper tearfully."I don't remember anything about myself" I sob.A tear rolled down my cheek and I quickly wiped it awa
SOLEDAE POVThirty minutes later we arrived at Hunters house and I was lost for words to describe its beauty. I was stunned and left in shock. I couldn't believe that I was going to live in such a big fancy house.It had a rose garden and somehow I seemed attached to the flowers. They constantly reminded me of something, but I didn't know what it was.It had a horse stable and a very big swimming pool.Wow. I felt so lucky my life had just changed for better and I had Sebastian to thank if it wasn't for him I'd be probably dead.HUNTER POVIt was obvious that Adrianna was in total shock by the size of my house.What can I say?" I only choose the best and the most top quality things. I kept stealing glances at her wondering how she survived with such a cruel family for so many years and still be strong willed? " She was just a mysterious girl with no memory of her past life. I would change her and mould her into an independent strong young woman.She would be educated and be very soph
HUNTER POVAfter taking a cold shower my body felt much relieved and more calm. I wiped my damp black curly hair with a white towel and I left the guest bedroom and went to the living room.To my surprise when I reached there I found Adrianna setting the table instead of the servants."Where is Mira and Oswald?" I asked curiously."Sir I asked them to go home. Their 7 months old daughter suddenly fell sick. They needed to take her to the hospital," she said softly and my anger slowly varnished.When I moved close to her she had my scent thanks to my shampoo. Her wet hair was lingering of my scent."But they could have informed"."Yes,but I couldn't find you so I just told them to go since the health of their child should always come first."I nod sternly."Besides it's not that hard sir I mean you know cooking is just a normal thing for a girl to do. It shouldn't be bizarre to you" she says confidently."So what have you prepared tonight?" I asked intriguingly, staring at the closed pl
Four weeks later Adrianna had gotten much better and her memory had become more accurate. As time elapsed she had greatly improved and she was ready to become my personal assistant.ADRIANNA POVToday Sebastian was going to take me to his company so that I can start working. I wanted to look repressible and elegant.I took a shower early in the morning and began to prepare myself while I sang my favourite song.I curled my blonde golden hair letting them flow freely over my shoulder. I applied a bit of makeup with bright red lipstick. I was dressed in a soft pink blouse with a black pencil skirt that reached my knees.Angel said it was the latest trend so I should wear this outfit plus Sebastian will like it and that made me feel nervous.Impressing Sebastian Hunter wasn't an easy task.I paired off my outfit with golden hedge sandals.I looked so pretty and blonde.I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I truly looked very beautiful and lovely. In the end I wore a pearl necklace tha
"Sir I didn't see you there" Russ mutters nervously and Sebastian narrows his eyes at him."Get back to work" he says quietly Russ waves me goodbye and leaves when I was about to get up Sebastian stopped me."Not you MS. Young" I turned around and faced him nervously. I couldn't read his expression.I must have done something wrong to be upset . I didn't want to get fired, especially on my first day."I need you In my office right now" he says sternly and walks past me. I swallowed hard and cleared the table.I must be in big trouble.A few minutes later I went to see him and I knocked on his door softly.There was a silent pause."Come in MS. Young" he answered from the inside and I opened the door. He had a poker face somehow I felt like he was taunting me.He pointed at the empty seat and I nodded as the room suddenly felt hot and uncomfortable. His gaze was still fixed on my face,but he continued to remain silent watching my actions. I clamped my legs together and he smiled at me.
I couldn't get close to Sebastian even if I tried. He was distant and very far away. I had a feeling that he didn't feel the way about me.But something much deeper was holding him back. I liked him and he was my role model,but he often treated me like I was his sister and no woman wants that.
