Mated To The Fairy Princess

A new me

Mark's POV

I laid lazily on the bed snoring, when I felt a splash of water on my face causing me to jump up in fright.

I scrubbed my eyes with my hand and looked up to see my stepmom holding a cup of water with a smirk on her face.

"What the heck was that?" I half yelled, staring at her with fury.

"This is past nine and you're still sleeping. If you are no longer interested in working at your dad's company, then you should at least help the maids in the kitchen" She rolled her eyes.

" What? Who are you comparing to a maid? " I exclaimed.

" You, of course"

" How dare you? " I yelled and angrily charged at her.

She flinched back in fear. " Why? What are you going to do? Have you forgotten what your dad will do to you, if you dare to hurt me?" She stuttered.

And I stopped abruptly. She was right! I couldn't hurt her. I just couldn't hurt her. I clenched my fist in anger as I struggled with the annoying feeling of helplessness.

"Get out! Before I do something terrible to you" I growled.

" I will leave but I'll come back for you" She rolled her eyes and walked out.

I banged my hand on the wall as soon as she left. s**t! If not for my mum's sake, I would have put this woman where she belongs, a long time ago.

My eyes fell on mum's huge portrait which hung on the wall close to my bed. I lost mum three years ago. It was not up to three months after her death, dad brought in another woman and a son.

I was shocked and I told dad that I was never going to let them stay in our house but he threatened me. My own dad threatened me!

"They are now your new mum and brother and you have to accept them whether you like it or not. The day you try to hurt any of them, I will make sure to burn every picture or property of your mum in this house" He threatened.

Dad knew that I was very close to mum so he used her to blackmail me into accepting his concubine and illegitimate son.

Dad was cheating on mum! He even choose the other woman and son over his biological son. The love I had for him was replaced with hatred and I vowed from that day onwards to be useless, in order to grieve him.

I stopped working at the company and spent time drinking and chatting with my friends. I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door.

"Who is that?" I said a bit curtly.

"It's me" dad replied.

" I don't want to speak with you" I fired.

"But you have to. Please open the door" He insisted.

I grumpily opened the door. " What do you want?"

"I saw your stepmom leaving your room with anger clearly written on her face" He said, walking into the room.

" Tsh" I scoffed. "Did you come here just to ask me this?" I fired and slammed the door.

"Yes. What have you done this time around?" He asked.

" Oh just so you know, I did nothing. Your beloved wife purposely splashed water on me while I was sleeping. And she even called me a maid"

" I don't think she would do that without a reason, you must have done something wrong"

"Are you kidding me? Why do you always think I am the bad one here? I am your son you know" I half yelled.

" Yeah I know but your stepmom is not bad either. She must have done that because you were still sleeping while your brother is already out, working." He replied.

"Tsh! You're taking her side as usual" I scoffed. "You know what? I don't want to have this conversation with you, can you please leave my room?"

"What exactly is wrong with you Dave? You have changed a lot" Dad scowled.

I paused to take a second look at the one who just made that statement." Just like the way you changed after you brought in your lovely concubine and son"

He let out a deep breath. " Can we stop all this argument and discuss like adults for once?"

"There's nothing to discuss with you. You betrayed my mum by having an extra marital affair, you even brought in your illegitimate son and concubine into our house. What more is there to discuss?" I fired.

" Yeah I know, I cheated on your mum but it was only a mistake and I regret my actions. But that doesn't mean I don't love you or care for you" He calmly said. " Please I want you to go back to the way you were before. Stop drinking and go back to work, the board members are waiting for you"

" You love me? You must be joking" I scoffed.

" I do love you son. believe me, I really do"

I wanted to believe him. I really wanted to believe that he has once loved mum, I and my sister but I just couldn't. His actions right now makes it hard for me to believe we even mattered to him.

" Then, chase your concubine and her son out of the house and I promise to do whatever you want" I almost yelled.

"What? I can't do that. They are now a part of our family"

" No. They are not and will never be a part of my family" I fired through gritted teeth. " You know what? I shouldn't waste my time trying to explain myself to you. You only care about them and not about my feelings and I have learnt to accept that" I added and turned to leave.

I really need to leave this house and cool off my head somewhere. Maybe, do some gambling.But he stopped me.

"Don't you dare walk out on me" Dad growled.

I stopped abruptly and turned back to him again."What if I do?"

"Then I will treat you like a stranger. I can't have a son who has vowed to live a miserable life" he dropped the bombshell.

" What?" I raised my eyebrows in disbelief. I scoffed.So he is finally trying to get rid of me.

"I knew you have always wanted to get rid of me. Fine! I don't care if we become strangers but I am never going to leave this house for you and your family" I scowled and walked out, slamming the door behind me.

I came out to see my stepmom standing close to the door. She has been eavesdropping on our conversation.

Bitch.

I gave her a hard stare before walking downstairs and out of the house. I needed to cool off my head or I would go crazy.

"Should I get the car?" The driver asked as soon as he saw me approaching.

"I...

A voice cut me off, before I could say anything.

"No..he doesn't need the car." My stepmom interrupted, walking towards the gate where I stood with the driver.

"Looks like someone is acting like a parasite. Feeding from where he did not plant" She muttered, loud enough to my hearing.

I looked at her and back at the driver.

"I don't need the car" I said and walked out through the gate.I will never use anything that belongs to my dad. Including the cars, credit cards and luxuries. I can't leave the house because I have many memories of mum here.

And i don't care if I die of hunger but I will never give my dad the satisfaction that I can't live without him. I will survive and get back at him for everything he has done to me, Kate and mum.

I dipped my hand into my shirt pocket and luckily I found fifty dollars.

At least I can use the money for gambling. Who knows, I might be fortunate this time.

I strolled down the street until I got to the hideout where I usually gamble with my friends. Just then, a car screeched a few metres away from where I stood.

Three men stepped out of the green camry car. They had broad shoulders with rugged looking faces and red eyes. I swallowed hard at their sight. My instinct told me that they were bad people and I had to run but it was too late.

One of them brought out a gun and fired it at me. I gasped as the bullet flew past over my head. They burst out laughing as I held unto my chest breathing heavily.

"Say your last prayer because the next bullet will pierce through your head" one of them hoarsed.

" W.. what do you want.. money? I will give you" I cried.

"We want your life" Another yelled and pointed the gun at me, he cracked the gun and I felt my body shivering. Just then, a figure flew past me, kicked off the gun from the man's hand and sent an immediate blow into his heart making the man sprawl to the floor.

The stranger turned to me, grinning. "Hi Mr rude"

I widened my eyes in shock. Luna!

I had forced her and George to leave after that night. There was no need of she being with me since I was no longer rich and couldn't pay her salary. But have she been stalking me?

"Happy to see me right?" She winked and focused back on the men.

The other man charged at her, she dodged his blow and sent a kick down his ball causing the poor guy to roll on the floor in severe pains.

I stared in awe as I watch her beat the hell out of the three men who almost killed me. How can a lady be so brave?

The cops arrived and took the already bleeding men away. I am sure she was the one that called the police or probably someone else did.

"Did you just beat all those men alone?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes I did. Why? Are you surprised?" She bragged.

I shot her stare. She must be so full of herself. But how in the world did she do it?

"Hey. Why are you staring at me with so much amazement. You're stricken by me right?" She bragged.

I scoffed. " No I am not. I am just wondering what you are doing here? "

" Me? Oh. I just took a brief vacation and I'm back home now. Did you really think I will leave you just like that? You've employed me as your guardian angel and I don't have plans of forsaking my job anytime soon."

" What?"

" Is that a way to welcome a very important person like me? Quit drooling and let's go have some good meal together". She grinned.
