I'm His?

Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

Elizabeth's POV

Beep beep beep

"Ugh, why did morning come."

And I slammed my hand on the alarm clock.

Another day in hell... wohoo (sarcasm obviously).

I got up from the couch I was sleeping on and shivered from the cold.

It was always cold in this tiny little apartment and I had no money to buy a blanket.

I had barely enough to pay the bills and buy food... sometimes. I'm really skinny because of the lack of food. And I work most of the time so there's really not much time to think about hunger anyway.

Oh gosh, I haven't introduced myself.

My name's Elizabeth Rose Parker and I'm 17 years old. I'm 5'2 tall and I feel like a little kid most of the time standing next to other people but there's nothing really I can do and the lack of food doesn't really help either. I have wavy chocolate brown hair that flows just under my rib cage and big, forest green eyes. A small button nose and rosy red lips.

I don't really remember my parents' names because they never really were there.

They threw me out when I was 15 because I wasn't mature enough. I still act like a child. I'm a child at heart, I guess.

I've had to survive on my own for the past years and it hasn't been easy.

I had to find a place to stay and had to get a job to pay for everything.

I have been blabbering enough I'm sure and I need to go before I'm late to work.

I work at a nearby restaurant. It's called The Leaf and it's actually pretty fancy so I'm not too sure how I got the job in there.

When talking to other people I tend to stutter a lot and I always get very nervous.

But I'm thankful I got the job because I don't think anyone wants a nervous and stuttering mess to work for them. I have nothing to complain about.

I get dressed in my work uniform and go out of the little apartment onto the street.

The restaurant is about a 25 minutes walk from here so I better hurry because my shift starts at 8 and it's already 7:30.

I got there on time and clocked myself in. I went to the backroom and went to my locker where my apron was and put it on.

I went back to the front and went to the cashier where Mary was working.

"Hey Liz, tables 5, 12, 15 and 21 okay?"

"Okay Mary."

And my workday has started.

*a while later*

(Still Elizabeth's POV)

I'm exhausted.

Today has been a very busy day and I'm glad that my shift is almost over.

"Lizzy could you please take table number 3?" Mary asked.

"Cassandra can't take it because she already has five tables and I know that your shift is almost over but please?"

I sighed. "Of course Mary." And with that I got up, grabbed my notebook and pen to write down the orders and went to table 3.

While walking I noticed who were sitting at that table and began to tremble.

At that table, sat the most feared man in the world, Mafia boss Alexander Knight and his two best men Lucas Wood and Jake Winters.

Oh god I'm gonna die.

When I got to their table they stopped talking and looked at me. I tried to suppress my shaking hands by clutching the notebook and pen tighter.

"H-hello gentlemen. W-what w-would you l-like?"

Damn it Lizzy stop stuttering like an i***t and pull yourself together!

I never once looked at them too scared that if I did look I would end up dead.

They just stared at me and I found my feet quite interesting.

Mr. Knight began to talk and I was ready to take their order and run but what he said wasn't what I expected.

"Look at me, baby girl."

Oh my lord his voice is very husky and manly-

Then I realized what he said and I almost cried.

I'm gonna die. He's going to kill me and will make it look like a suicide.

I didn't look at him because... he's too scary.

But I think he got mad.

No no no Liz what have you done?? You made him mad! You're so dead now.

"Look. At. Me."

He said through clenched teeth and his voice sounded pretty pissed.

I then very slowly raised my head to look at him.

Two ice blue eyes stared back at me.

"Good girl, now come here."

Whaaaaaaat. I'm not going closer. Nuh-uh. No way. He's gonna strangle me or something.

"Don't make me ask twice, little girl."

And his voice was VERY low and sounded like he tried to restrain himself.

Uh-oh.

I stepped closer until I was in his arms’ reach.

He pulled me....

...onto his lap.

And wrapped his big arms around me so that I couldn't move, not even an inch.

I stared at him wide-eyed.

"W-what are y-you d-doing?"

STOP STUTTERING ELIZABETH!!!

I tried to wriggle out of his hold.

"Stop."

And I immediately stilled. I didn't dare to even breathe.

"What's your name, baby girl?" he murmured while looking at me.

I looked at my lap and twiddled with my fingers.

"Elizabeth."

It came out as a whisper so I doubt he actually heard it.

I felt two fingers under my chin pushing my head up to meet his face.

"It's a beautiful name and next time look at me when you talk to me or I will punish you, got that baby?"

I stared wide- eyed.

What does he mean punish??? And what next time? I'm never gonna talk to him again. Weird.

"My name is Alexander Knight and these two are Lucas Wood and Jake Winters but I'm sure you already knew that."

I looked over at the two who were looking at me smiling.

Smiling.

Why are they smiling at me??

The blonde haired one waved at me.

"Hey, I'm Lucas."

"H-hi."

Again, it came out as a whisper.

"You're a shy one aren't you?"

Lucas asked smiling wider.

I just blushed and looked at my lap again.

"Hey girly my name's Jake."

I looked up and saw the purple haired man winking at me mischievously.

I went as red as I could get and my eyes widened when I heard Mr.Knight let out a low growl-like noise.

I looked at him wide-eyed and he kissed the top of my head.

"Come now, little one."

And he stood up with me still in his arms.

He didn't look like he was going to put me down so I didn't dare say anything either.

We were about to leave the restaurant when I mustered up the courage to speak.

"W-where are we g-going? I-I have t-to go back to w-work."

"You won't be working here anymore, baby girl."

"W-what?"

"Or anywhere for that matter."

"B-but I need that money t-to pay the bills a-and buy food."

"I said you won't be working anymore and it's not up for discussion, little girl."

He said that sternly while looking at me with a face that said 'I dare you to defy me'.

So I just stayed quiet and played with my fingers.

They walked to an expensive looking car, Lucas went to the drivers' seat while Jake sat in the passenger seat which left the backseats for Mr.Knight and, I guess, me.

Me.Knight sat in the car with me still situated on his lap so I tried to wiggle off but he grabbed my hips and held me in place.

He leaned closer and whispered: "You better stop wiggling or I will take you right here, right now."

He leaned back leaving me on his lap sitting with a straight back and as red as a tomato.

"Where are we going?"

He looked me in the eyes.

"We're going home."
