CHAPTER 4

CLAIRE

"Claire things are gonna be fine now. My master can be a nice person but most times cold as long as you don't break any of his rules you won't have problems," the guy beside me said.

"Rules?" I sniffle.

"Just do all that is required of you and you won't have problems at all. The master hates stealing and also barging into the master room without being called upon is a terrible sin,"

"If one does offend the master. What then will happen to the person?"

"The person will be sent to the cold room," the guy on the steering said.

"The cold room? That sounds terrible," I mutter.

"It is. By the way, I'm Bia and he's Chao," the guy beside me said.

"Are you guys like Chinese?"

"I'm not Chinese Chao is but Chinese is one of our official languages though,"

"Wow. I heard Singapore is beautiful,"

"It is,"

"Uhmmm," I nodded looking outside the window.

"What happened to your face?" I touched my bandaged face and my mood changed.

"I'm sorry…it's okay if you don't want to talk about it,"

"Well, my step Dad smashed my face into hot food,"

"What the fuck!" Chao exclaimed.

"I'm sorry about that,"

"Thanks…So tell me something about your master. Does he have a name,"

He chuckles "Of course he does Darrell Bingwen, cold, rarely talks…but you are never allowed to call his name. Such person will be put to death,"

"Seriously?" I gasped.

"Yeah. When you get to a new place you need to adjust to the environment...I just pray you don't get into trouble on your first day,"

I inhaled deeply and looked outside the window. I can't believe I'm going to meet a cold and mean master. This is all Logan's fault. I wonder what he's going to tell Dad when he comes looking for me.

All of that doesn't matter what matters is that I must survive and make him pay for all he has done.

LOGAN

About one hour after that bitch left, someone rang the doorbell.

Who could that be? Probably her wretched father.

I open the door to meet Adrian.

"What is it?"

"Ain't you gonna let me in?" he frowned.

"Say whatever you want to say here," I sternly said.

"I came for my daughter. I guess she told you she's going with me today,"

"Well, your daughter is not here. No one told you to abandon her,"

"I never abandoned her and what do you mean she's not here? Stop playing games Logan and hand her over," I could sense that he was getting furious but just trying to keep his cool.

"I said your daughter is not here,"

"Well, I'm not buying that shit. Hand her over or I call the cops,"

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat. It's a statement of fact and I mean it. Where the fuck is my daughter?" he yelled with anger written all over his face.

"Well, your daughter ran off to be with one of her numerous boyfriends,"

"Claire is not promiscuous. Tell me where you are keeping her," this time he grabbed the hem of my collar.

"How would you know when you abandoned her for eight years,"

"I always visited bastard and I know my daughter well. She would never do such a thing," this is getting messier than I thought. I thought it would be easier to tell him false things about his daughter. How come Ellie never told me he always visited?

It would have been easier to come up with a better lie.

"Well, you don't know her at all. After her mother died, she started bringing men into my house and when I corrected her she ran off probably to be with her boyfriends,"

"Fuck that's not true,"

"It is. I treat her as my daughter too and will never do anything to harm her. Her sudden change came as a shock to me too," I smiled inwardly knowing he would believe my lies.

"You are good at acting Logan but you can't fool me just the way they fooled Ellie. Who knows if you didn't have a hand in her death? If I find out you did, I will make sure you die too. And as for my daughter, I give you just 48 hours to provide her or you get ready to go to jail. You just messed with the wrong person Logan," he pushed me forcefully and walked to his car.

He got in and drove out. I never knew this man loved his daughter this much. He definitely meant what he said. What do I do now?

That's by the way, why is Owen yet to awake? He should be up by now.

I walked to his room and knocked but no response. I pushed the door open to see Owen having seizures.

"What the fuck? Owen," his breathing was getting reduced. He was just mumbling unfathomable words.

I tried carrying him but he was damn too heavy. I quickly called for my gatekeeper's help and we both carried him into the car. I started the engine as the gatekeeper rushed to open the gate. I drove out at full speed.

I watched him as he was been wheeled into the emergency room. My heart bled seeing my son suffer that much because of me.

"We will take it from here sir," the nurse said shutting the door.

I won't forgive myself if anything happens to Owen.

I pace around the waiting room waiting for the doctor to come out. I just hope nothing happens to Owen, he's all I've got.

The doctor came out of the room minutes later. I rushed to him in anxiety.

"Doctor, how is my son?"

"He's fine. He is lucky to have been brought here on time. He suffered from an overdose of the sleeping drug Ambien. Please ensure he doesn't take such a drug again,"

"I will. Can I see him now?"

"Yes, you can but he's unconscious. He will be awake in a few hours,"

"Thanks, doc," we exchanged a handshake.

I walked into the room and saw two nurses walking out of the room with a tray of drugs.

Looking at my son, a nasal cannula was inserted into his nostrils that was connected to oxygen generation.

A drip hung on a drip stand and was connected to his arms.

I sit on the chair by the side of the bed with my head bowed. I can't believe I almost killed my son because of that bitch.

I never liked her just pretended to for Ellie's sake. But Owen was always too close to her and now she has succeeded in turning my son against me.

She's definitely gonna suffer. I just need to look for a way to take care of her father, he's gonna be a threat to me.
