Chapter 3: CHAPTER 3: TAKEN AWAY
They were all seated on the dining table waiting for their unexpected guest. Lord Davis was just smiling all over, when he reached the house, his bodyguards came out and opened the door for him to step out. Immediately he stepped out in grand style ofcourse, Aldo was seen running out of his huge mansion to come welcome him. When Aldo came, Lord Davis made him to hold his jacket and brief case. Aldo held it with so much honor and respect because he knows that if it should by any chance touch the ground he'll be dead. Lord Davis was followed by his bodyguards into the mansion, when Cassandra and her siblings saw there invited guest she knew immediately that something was off somewhere, who are they that Lord Davis would come visit them, she was lost in thoughts, the same way Lord Davis was lost in her beauty. When he came closer to the dining table everyone of them stood up for him to sit down. He sat down as if he was the head of the family, that respect and honor of their father was given to him. Their father Aldo, sat down after him then every other person sat down. They were all waiting to hear what brought Lord Davis to their home, especially Cassandra, she was not at peace with herself. The way and manner Lord Davis was staring at her gave her goose bumps allover her body.
She was seriously hoping that her father wasn't a debtor of the mafia lord. As she was still in her thoughts, Davis cleared his throat and looked straight at her dad, then her mom, and finally his gaze was on her, he smirked devilishly. When their eyes met, she quickly looked away.
Lord Davis: I know you are all wondering what I'm doing at your house, well I came to collect what is rightfully mine for the taking. (Then he looked at Aldo who was sweating allover even though the A.C was on) I will only ask one last time, where is the debt you owe me?
Aldo: (Shivering and sweating, looking for an excuse to give that would save his daughter) I-I-I don't have it, but please have mercy on me and give me the grace of one week to pay back, I promise I won't let you down. I have part payment now, I'll provide the remaining before the one week expires, please have mercy on me, don't take my daughter, she's my pride and my everything.
Lord Davis: (started laughing out loud to an extend he couldn't breath, then he looked at Aldo in a very despicable and irritable way) And you think I'll give you more time? All the time I gave you what did you use it to do, you think I'm a fool right? Your time is up Mr. man, there is nothing like another chance once I come to your house to collect my debt, so keep all that pleading to yourself I don't need it. I came here to collect what you owe me and as I can see, it's ready, so if you don't mind I don't have time to waste on petty talks, let me have her.
Camilla: (Started crying silently then she looked at her innocent daughter) Lord Davis please I would do anything for the freedom of my daughter, I know that my husband has done you wrong but please don't take my daughter away from me, she's the only precious jewel I have. I would gladly trade myself for her, I would be your slave for a lifetime as long as you spare my daughter.
Lord Davis: (Got tired of them pleading, he stood up from the table and bang it hard and loud, then he glared at all of them on the table especially their father) Stop playing tricks with me, I know what I came here for and I won't leave here until I collect what is rightfully mine. And if I'm provoked you all are going to suffer it, so don't test my patient. Give me what I came here for let me start going.
Cassandra: (disgusted by his demand. Although she was moved at his handsomeness, she still hated him so much. So proud and arrogant, who does he think he is. She stood up and boldly faced him) Who do you think you are to be making such unreasonable demands, aren't you ashamed of yourself? (When she said that her mom held her, pleading with her to keep quite, but she ignored her and kept talking) As old as you are, you are making up excuses to get ladies in the city, so shameful and despicable, you have no shame or remorse. I would rather die than live with an animal like you. Mr. Davis or whatsoever your name is, mark my words, you can't have me or my body and even if you succeed to get what you want, I will never be loyal to you till my death.
Lord Davis: (clapped for her and was laughing mockingly) Hmm, Aldo I already like your daughter's feisty character, it suits me well. I want her more now, young lady don't blame me for whatever is going on now, blame your dad who claims to love you so much, he's the reason I'm taking you away and unfortunately for you, there's nothing you can do about it. (Then he motioned his guys to grab her)
Two hefty men came closer to her and held her both hands tightly, they began to drag her away. She was struggling and calling out her mom's name but to no avail. No one could help her. Her mom was knocked down by one of the hefty men, she hit her head on a stool and blood began to drip from her head. Cassandra wanted to go and help her mom but she couldn't free herself and her dad was seriously pleading with Lord Davis but he turned a deaf ear to his plea.
Lord Davis: (Pushed Aldo away and walked away from the scene proud and happy with himself, he was happy at the destruction and chaos he caused) Once Lord Davis comes to your house there's literally nothing you can do to hinder me from getting what i came for, you can't owe me and be happy, it's not possible.
He left with his bodyguards and the girl, she was throwing curses at him but he kept on smiling devilishly knowing he had gotten what he wanted. He left them broken in pieces, they will never recover from this incident. They rushed there mom to the hospital, and they were all quite till the end of the day.
