Her Devil Guardian

Mr. Augustus Fuller

The man continued with his story….

Mr. Augustus Fuller knew your mother from high school, but because of power on the board of the company, he chose to marry my mother.

Even after his marriage, your mother stayed with him for more years and worked in the same company and continued their extramarital affair.

But when my father never showed any sign of marrying her and she conceived you

Then she finally left him.

Your mother was a total homewrecker.

Shuuuuuttttt uppppp.. I screamed after hearing those words. I couldn’t control myself.

It felt like hell and torturous when he uttered those insulting words to my mum.

You never knew your mother, Susana. Also, not your father.

All your life you believed in a lie.

Nooooo. My mom was never like that. She was not like that. You are lying…

A smirk appeared on his face.

He handed me his phone with a video.

Whether you believe my words or not. It doesn’t matter.

I checked the video of a man with a very well-known face.

Mr. Austin.

Yeah. Your mother’s recent colleague. Is it actually a mole set by my father or, better, I say, our father.

In the video, Mr. Austin said something to my mum and her face looked pale.

I could even feel that she was terrified.

Then suddenly Sabastian made a move on me.

He grabbed my left hand with force and held my chin up.

Whatt.. Are you doing? You are hurting me…

Listen to me, Susana very carefully as I won’t repeat myself again.

You've got only one man in the whole world to trust..

And that’s me..

If you want to save yourself and the people you love around you. You will agree to my condition.

Whattt condition.

From now on, I will be your legal guardian.

My eyes were blurred from all the tears but I still held onto the last strength in my voice and said Nooo.

Never…

This is never gonna happen..

I will not have any relationship with you or the Fuller family.

Sabastian looked into my eyes with his cold stare.

You have no idea Susana. What danger is looming on you.

If Mr. Augustus Fuller learns that you are alive, the next moment he will kill you without hesitation. Sabastian said in a cold voice.

I will leave the city…

He smiled coldly.

You are still a child Susana, still 3 years to stand up for yourself.

Without me, you’re are nothing.

Also if you wish for Aunt Suna to get killed with you, you can stay here with her.

Whatttt….. My voice filled with fear. Why???

Sabastian came close to my ears, What do you think Mr. Fuller will leave you and your Aunt alone? You are so naïve.

He mocked me.

Our father will kill you and all the people around you to achieve his goals.

I felt a chill down my spine.

The voice, the coldness, the truth, everything was choking me.

Annnddd what did you plan for me?

Sabastian pressed my wrist firmly.

I will take you to a safe place, a safe house…

And for how long?

Till you are an adult. After that, you can leave that place and live your own life with whomever you want.

And what if your father found out..

He won’t. I can guarantee you that.

Can I continue my studies at my school?

No.

Why?

Cause I can’t risk it.

So will you imprison me?

Not directly, but yes.

But you can continue your studies.

Ok. Please give me some time to think.

Sabastian left my wrist, stood straight, straightened his coat and left the room.

I was still in daze, I still didn’t know what to do. I lay down and covered the blanket over my face.

How long I was in daze I don’t even know. It's dark outside and I felt a little thirsty after crying so long.

Aunt Suna left some food on the table and a note, she didn’t want to disturb me. So she stayed in the dining hall.

I got down from the bed and went towards the table to drink water.

I finished the glass in one breath and looked at my image in the mirror.

I don’t recognise the girl in the mirror reflection, life does take sudden turns and some turns are so bumpy that they can throw you away from your track, and you lose your destination.

I can only see the devastated face of a 15 year old girl in the mirror whose entire life is a lie.

I went to the dining hall to find aunt Suna.

I saw Aunt Suna sleeping on the couch. I wanted to wake her up, but looking at her tired face I hold myself.

What should I do? Where should I go? Whom should I ask for help?
