The Love I Have Found

4

There were two men sitting in front of her mother and Zoella had a satisfied smile over her face.

_Good Evening_ she said trying to walk past them.

_Hey wait a minute_ she stopped reluctant_ Vem acá que te tengo una noticia.

_Nada más la dejo en la cama y ya vuelvo_ she tried to escaped from whatever Zoella had prepared.

_Theres no need to take her to bed, both of you don't live here anymore_ she giggled.

_ Whatchu talking bout_ she lost her composure putting all accent on display.

_You two belong to me now_ the man said standing up and after taking a look at him she recognized him as the man from the hotel.

_I know you, I cleaned your room today_ she was shocked_ What are you doing here? What is this? Is this some kind of twisted joke or something?

She yelled waking Maria up, she tried to make the girl go back to sleep but as soon as she saw Thomas she smiled and struggled to get on her feet and walk towards him.

_See?_ Zoella laughed_ She already likes him, just go and leave me alone already.

_Are you stoned?

_Joalin..._ Lucas called her_ My brother has the best intention in this...

_Shut up!_ she cut him out_ Just tell me what the hell are you doing here? What is all this about?

_You and you're sister are now my brothers property, your mother Miss Zoella agreed to give you as a warranty to him over her debt.

_Debt?_ she was totally lost and confused_ Do you owe him money, is this your pimp?

_Shut up!_ Thomas yelled and the room went silent. Even Maria got scared by that_ It's okay baby..._ he whispered at her making her lay her head on his shoulder and sleep peacefully.

_Mother..._ Joalin tried to ask for her compassion.

_I don't think you understand Miss Spencer_ Thomas passed Maria to Lucas and told him to wait for them at the car

_Where are you taking her?_ Joalin tried to fight but Thomas unleashed his anger over her with a hard slap throwing her to the ground.

_Now you listen to me Miss Spencer_ he kneeled to her level_ I've made your mother an offer and she accepted it, I want you and Maria and I'll have you and Maria with me.

_She accepted your offer so take her, she is used to been a w***e anyways_ she spat out of anger but regretted her words when Thomas slapped her once again.

_Don’t talk to your mother like that... Yes she is dirty w***e_ he confirmed erasing the smirk on Zoella's face_ But you are not entitled to call her that, I must teach to respect.

_I’m not going anywhere, so isn't Maria....

_Ok then!_ he stood up taking a gun from his back_ Then I guess I'll have to kill you all.

_What the hell?_ Zoella's scared face was as pale as flour, suddenly her Hispanic tan had vanished_ f**k you Joalin! Just accept what life gave you and be his w***e, you're not a virgin anyways..._ she shouted at her crying daughter_ I'm sure you know how to satisfy a man, b***h!

Suddenly Thomas hit the side of Zoella's head with the gun knocking her out.

_Your bags are packed, go get them... I'm in a hurry_ he said fixing his suit_ Do you want me to count to ten Joalin?_ looked at her inpatient and she just stood up heading to her room_ And please don't try anything stupid!

When she got to her room, Joalin shed all the tears trapped before, all hers and Maria's clothes where packed in two black bags, ready for her to leave.

She picked a sport bag and filled it with her books, pictures and documents, thank God she took her money with her in the morning otherwise Zoella would've kept it.

She didn't had any makeup or fancy jewelry so her books and papers were all she needed.

_Eight!_ she heard Thomas rushing her and took everything to the leaving room in a blink of an eye.

_Where are you taking us_ she dared to ask.

_For tonight we'll stay at my place in Central Park and tomorrow you can choose where you want to live_ his guards took the bags and all he did was grab her arm and guide her to his vehicle.

_Blanquita!_ she smiled hearing Alonzo calling her but Thomas pulled her closer so she could feel the gun hanging in his hand_ Where are you going? Who's this?

_I’m moving..._ it wasn't a lie_ This is my friend, I'm moving out with him!

_What?_ Alonzo tried to get closer to them but the guards stopped him_ Are you with him?

_We have to go... I’m sorry_ she whispered getting inside the car before Noah.

_Blanquita_ she cried after listening to him calling her again.

_Whipe those tears off, right now_ Noah ordered and she tried to obey but the tears just kept rolling.

_I’m sorry, I can't stop it_ she covered her face.

_If you shed another tear for him, I'll kill him_ he said freezing her instantly_ Is that what you want?

_No_ she answered taking a deep breath and washing away all the feelings from her heart and mind.

_Where's Maria?

_She is with Lucas in another car, don't worry we are all going to the same place_ he smiled.

_Why are you doing this?_ she asked hugging herself_ Do you know this is a crime? You just bought two people! Who does that?_ she started crying again.

_ I just did it_ he smiled evilly and crossed his fingers_ You see Joalin... If I want something, I'll get it... I wanted a family, now I have one.

_What?_ she asked in disbelief.

_Maria needs a father and you clearly need a husband, so... Here I am!_ he answered peacefully smiling.

_You are crazy_ she whispered_ I don't need a husband and if Maria needed a father it certainly wouldn't be you!_ she yelled.

_Joalin my darling, I don't think I need to convince you by using force again, do I?_ he got closer to her_ I'm trying to be nice to you, so please try to appreciate that, cause I'm not nice to anybody!

She didn't reply making him smirk.

_I'll have to teach you some manners Joalin_ she laughed.

_You don't even know how to get yourself a girl and want to teach me manners_ she snorted_ That's great!_ tears fell from her eyes again.

_We'll get home soon, I hope you like the surprise we set for you.

She decided not to answer and maybe get herself in trouble, all she could do was wait to see what her new life would be like.

_Lets go!_ Thomas said suddenly as the car stopped in the private parking lot_ Let's go!_ he repeated himself watching her staring at him in shock_ God give me patience_ he dragged her out of the car and guided her patiently to the penthouse.

Joalin tried to remain calm e smile to Maria who was giving Lucas a quite hard time demanding all his attention, they were spoiling her.

When they got inside Joalin got shocked with all the luxury there, his apartment was ten times more boojie and expensive than the entire building.

It was very well decorated but what really caught her attention was the bridal arrangement in the leaving room. It resembled an aisle.

_What is this?_ she faced him.

_This is our wedding ceremony_ he passed one arm over her shoulders_ See?!_ he pointed the aisle, the little table where papers were set and the chairs_ My lawyer and the marriage officiant are just waiting for us, so go upstairs and get ready.

_This is insane Thomas, you can't do this_ she whispered to him so the maids wouldn't listen.

_Baby..._ he pulled her to the other side of the room, away from the others so they couldn't hear_ I know you don't want to end as someone’s w***e like your mother, that's why I'm been nice to the point of making you my wife.

_Am I supposed to thank you?

_Yes!_ he confirmed_ But don't rush yourself, you'll have plenty of time to do that_ quietly he called the maids to take Jo and Maria to the Masters bedroom.

_You sure you wanna do that?_ Lucas asked once they left.

_Go get ready!
