THE CHAINED HEART

CAGED 2

SPRING POV

That's when I saw the person I despise the most, my uncle. He was the one who made me become like this, without money, without food. I was penniless 10 years ago, but now I have my own company. I worked myself to the core, to avenge the death of my parents, the ones who I loved the most and a boy who I held dear were all burnt down within seconds. My whole world came crashing down. I dint know what to do, after all I was a helpless soul. Our company was destroyed by my uncle, making it go bankrupt. All that my father worked for was destroyed in seconds under my very eyes and I could do nothing. I was powerless.

I took a deep breath until the elevator stopped at the floor. Me and Lavin went to our room. Thank god it had two separate beds or else it would have been awkward.

Lavin said he would take a shower, while I just laid on the fluffy bed wondering what my uncle was doing here. Although he must have been here for business meetings, I never thought we would meet. This whole hotel was booked by the WS company unless he was also collaborating with them. He took all the money and people from our company and started a new one, just because my father neglected his way of dealing with things. I hate him, but I need this project. Our whole company is relying on this. All this headache bought confusion to me, my sleepy eyes and darkness took over me.

" Spin.... Spin....Spinnnnnnnn......get up"

" damn you Lavin, my ears are bleeding now".

" you dint wake up, I called you a thousand times, its already 8:00 am. We have 2hrs before the competition starts"

'what? What the hell were you doing. You should have woken me up'

' ya except, you kicked and scratched me away every time I did that'

'I'm not an cat and you know we had to revise the presentation before the competition'. I got up struggling out of the bed.

' ya that's already done"

'what , when , how....did you do it '

' wo wo wo .... Calm down lady. I did it when you were happily fantasizing about your dream boy'. 'shut up' I said throwing a pillow at him.

' whatever, since its done. I'll go take a bath and we'll go down and have breakfast'. I took a cold bath, making all the jammed memories in my head flow like the water droplets through my body and into the drain. I'm a fast bather. I take bath in 10 mins, but since we were running late I took it in 5.

We packed our sheets and the necessary documents, before leaving I took a look in the mirror and I saw a professional lady. I'm a narcissist sometimes and I know that. My wavy hair was let down till my waist, a hairband to keep it in place. A black coat hugging my white t-shirt and a knee lengthed skirt. I wore black framed spectacles. Just to make me look professional. My pale skin sufficed and highlighted my cat blue eyes which I always loved watching. I was pulled out of my thoughts when my phone rang.

I picked it up but heard only 5 beeps. I tried calling back but no one answered it was weird so I thought it was a prank call. Lavin just came in from his phone call and we both left. The dinning area was in the ground floor surrounded by a courtyard. It had a beautiful view and was richly ornamented just like the hotel lobby.

I was hungry and to tell you the truth I don't care about people and place, as I eat however and how much ever I want, to sum it all up I'm not the lady type. And the food before me was calling out to be devoured. I was collecting all the food and leaving when I suddenly bumped into a guy.

' look where you're going HUMAN' I screamed earning quite an attention and stares at me. Due to the bumping my dress in which I looked " professional" was now covered with watermelon juice. Wow great, just how I wanted my day to go. Without looking up at the guy I tried moving past him to where Lavin sat. but I was suddenly stopped by these strong hands which gripped my wrists so tightly, that I wouldn't be surprised even if I had blood clot.

I looked up at the guy and damn was he amazing, just like a model...he had beautiful, black eyes with his hair slightly frizzy, giving him the authoritative look. I could see power oozing out. And not mention his suit. It was the costliest brand and just for a second I thought selling it would cover up a month without working.

He cleared his throat to say something, but I knew what all these rich people would say...that they were sorry and would buy a new pair of clothes ordering their secretary around to buy a new one. Well I wasn't the type to fall for one.

' its ok, you don't need to pay or give me a new pair, I can manage with these. And would you please take your hands of me' I said thinking that he would let go, but no that wasn't going to happen. I looked at him giving a WTF face, but he dint seem to let go, was he paralysed I thought.

' HUMAN, let me go, cant you see your freaking hand is stopping me' he was just staring at me with a blank expression. When I looked around for some help. Everyone were 3m away from us as if there was an artificial wall surrounding us. I knew none would come to my help. I looked at Lavin and he was in his own world. So I did what had to be done.

Yes and that is I bit him, and I bit him hard, but for gods sake he dint even flinch, more like he was enjoying it , was he a masochist. Who would laugh in public when someone bites you, yes a mad dog would. Then I started kicking him, I knew some moves but it felt like he was being hit by a small girl. The height difference between us was huge. He was almost 6', while I was 5'1"... ya well I looked like a girl who would punch her dad because she dint get her candy.

But come on what was going on in that mind of his. He was just looking at me not even resisting. Then I kicked him where the young master resides, he loosened his grip a little and that's when I slid my hand and ran, everyone were looking at me as if I committed a sin. I ran to where Lavin sat, pulled him out of his chair and ran to the elevator....before climbing I looked back and made a monkey face, serves him right I thought until he winked and kissed the hand I had just bit. I was beyond terrified and annoyed that if I had the chance I would chain him up and feed him to the lions.

Lavin dint know what happened and I wasn't in the mood to explain the s**t. So we took a cab to the venue where the competition was held. We got tickets and panel boards on which we had to put up our sheets. Since the campus was laid out in New York we came up with the concept of winter and spring just as the name WS company. Since the land was on the outskirts of the city and it covered up to 1000 acres....nearly a whole town could reside. In our project we dedicated all the high rise buildings in the centre connected by a free flowing garden( which was our key idea) intricately woven into the city fabric. As the name suggests, since winter makes you lose your warmth and come close to each other and spring which gives you a new life each year. The building were dynamic and everchanging with the season fall...all the residential units were surrounding the city centre, and at one end of the site there was a river which flowed along the land. We proposed underground tunnels, to avoid destroying the eye level nature. All these were rendered and put up in the sheets which I hoped would get qualified in the next round.

After pinning up the sheets, I started wandering around looking at our competitors, they were amazing since all the world renowned firms had participated. And each firm was better than the other. After looking into at least 50 of them I saw the snacks table which was filled with pizzas, hamburger, pie, ...my mouth was watering. I was running towards the table when I suddenly bumped into a wall or so I thought. When I looked up steadying myself, I saw the smirk and I knew it. How could this fellow be so annoying.

' excuse me HUMAN, but I have to go' I said with an attitude.

' well , well what do we have here, a small cat trapped by a lion' he laughed. Did he just blow his own trumpet and compared me to a freaking cat. Hell no fellow you don't mess with me.. 'well, I dint know that the lion was scared of a little cat.. getting kicked and beaten up by a small fellow really is embarrassing huh' I said with a smirk.

' it was just a scratch, and I know kittens scratch before they go into heat' he smirked.. this guy is damm annoying. 'ok HUMAN, what do you want, cant you see that I'm busy'

'your number if not your sizes' ....'

'Wooowowwa cool it boy, did you just ask for my sizes, you f*****g insane freak, you lolicon bastard, you insane fellow, you disgusting stinking old man with no values, you crazy freak with no asss...just because your bloody rich doesn't mean you can tease us...who the hell even let you in, do you know that if the CEO of the company gets to know such a crazy lunatic exists, he would fire you and by the way do you know that I have close relationship with the owner of this company, so keep your f*****g mouth and hand to yourself' I started panting after completing this speech of mine which made others except him around us baffled. What did it take for him to be anxious. Just then Lavin came up to me and pulled me aside.

' what the hell did you do' he asked me ' I just gave him a piece of my mind' I said completely satisfied of my mind blowing verses.

'..oh god what did u do Spin, did you know that he is the founder and owner of WS company, he is Welson, the one who brought the company to this stage, the one you admired, just because you dint see his face doesn't mean you go on scolding him.. you know that he is one of the judges and holds the main decision right, how could you mess it up'.

How could I mess up our life opportunity, the one we had always been waiting for and who knew the one who I admired was nothing but an insane pervert. Oh god please let this ship sail smoothly.
