BILLIONAIRE SECRET

Chapter four

Lexi' POV

Mother, please. I beg of you. You can not do this to I and my family. I have been a good daughter to you, I plead of you." I cry out. The sky becomes gloomy, the sound of thunder startles me and a drop of rain falls on my skin. I place my my palms together and bow my head at Mrs Garcia while hoping that she shows me mercy. I have nowhere else to go, I can not even imagine what would have happened to Selena because i am very sure my mother must have abandoned her.

"You stupid wench, did you not hear me clearly? I said I want you out of my house and far away from my son!" Mrs Garcia yells with so much rage in her eyes. Suddenly, the rain begins to pour causing me to grit my teeth and clench my fist at the coolness of the raindrops on my skin. The rage in Mrs Garcia's eyes makes me wonder if I have actually done something in the past to offend her. Why does she look so angry as if I committed a crime by going to jail for the sake of the love I have for her son?

"Daniel, take her away!' Mrs Garcia turns to the butler standing by the entrance. He nods his head at her and walks towards me. The butler grabs me by the arm and lifts me up. For the second time today, I struggle to break free from his grip but he is just too strong. Eventually, he succeeds in kicking me out of the Garcia Mansion.

I lay flat on the floor as the rain pours on my skin. I break down in tears at how miserable my life has become. I still can not comprehend how my life has suddenly taken a huge turnover in the span of five years. I regret the decision I had made at the court, I regret ever protecting Ryan, I regret fighting for the love I thought Ryan and i shared. Most importantly, I regret the day I ever set my eyes on Ryan.

I hate him! I hate him so much, he irritates me and I want him to pay for his sins. I want Ryan to go through the same thing I went through when I was in prison.

My stomach grumbles and I take it as a hint to find the closest restaurant to eat before I pass out again. I am going to be needing all the strength in the world if I want to have my revenge on Ryan, the entire Garcia family I mean. For abandoning me and my own family, especially Selena. I will make them pay for it.

I rise to my feet and sluggishly drag my feet while clutching the brown envelope in my hand tight. I sight a small restaurant at theend of the street. The bright lights of the restaurant reminds me of home. I step into the restaurant and it is just as cozy and warm as I had imagined. Thankfully for me, the only person in here is an old woman standing by the counter.

"Oh dear, you look distressed." The old woman says, she scurries towards me and places a large towel around me. I bite my lower lip to hold the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes and force a smile on my face.

"Can I please have something to eat?" I pause to raise the brown envelope at her. "I have money." I say. The old lady sighs, she eyes with a look of pity and it makes me feel ashamed. Look at what I have become, all thanks to Ryan and his family.

I hand her the envelope but she refuses it, the old lady ushers me towards one of the empty tables by the window. "Sit here. We are closed actually but I could quickly make you some noodles and bacon to eat before you leave." She says.

I nod my head at her and flash her a grateful smile as I settle down on the chair. I watch the old woman scurry towards a small door which I presume is her kitchen. I rest my head comfortably on the table as I think of my next move. I have no where else to go, I have nothing to live for. Maybe I should just go ahead and die but before I do any of that, I am dragging the Garcia family down with me.

I suddenly remember the police officer, I mean CIA guy from the hospital, the one who gifted me the money. I think he said his name was Asher Reed and that he works with Denmarks Police Station. That is only like a few streets away from here. If I want to bring the Garcia family down, the first thing I need to do is to tell the police all their illegal activities.

Some few minutes later, the woman arrives with the big bowl of noodles and bacon, just like she promised. I hurriedly fill my stomach while ignoring the weird glares the woman gives me. After eating, I offer to pay again but she refuses.

She offers to let me spend the night here too but I refuse. I leave the restaurant and make my way to Denmarks Police Station. I have no time to waste at all. I hope I meet Asher by this time of the day and even if I do not, I am willing to wait till the next day.

I eventually arrive at the police station but unfortunately for me, the only person there is a young lady sitting behind a desk. She notices my presence and hastily brings her gun out of her pocket and points it at me.

"Who are you?" She questions.

"I am here to see Asher Reeds, I need to see him urgently." I rant.

"Come back tomorrow Miss." She pauses to eye me weirdly.

"I am his wife and I need to seem him now. It is something extremely urgent." I lie with a straight face. I am so desperate to do anything right now. Anything to make the Garcia family pay for their sins.
