CHAPTER 7
IRIS LOU POV
FLASHBACK THE TIME I RUN AWAY IN THE PALACE.
“PAK !!!” the sound of dad slapping me here in his office in the palace.
“Lou, how long will you give me a headache? !!” He told me emphatically because I just embarrass the son of his investor who came from the States.
“Dad, she was the first to make a mess! I hope nothing bad happened at that party if she didn’t just pour me alcohol on purpose. ” I say it without fear.
“D*mn it Lou! I hope you just let it go because you didn’t die by simply pouring alcohol on you !!! See what you did Mr. Gregory retreat investing in our company, you know how well -known Mr. Gregory in the states “He said angrily to me.
“Dad, you are the king of the country where you are now. So a lot of money goes to you and then you hurt me? your own child? just because of your worthless investor!” I was angry tolding him that and I kept my tears from dripping in front of him because I didn’t want to show that only with him can I be weak.
I’m not that strong, I’m strong in fighting because since I was a child, me and my brother know how to fight, I experienced how to fight, I broke my bones because of the difficult training I experienced since I was a child. My older brother, who was very sensible to me then, turned to stone and no one around him knew, he changed as if he were a psychopath.
He just killed my old brother and instead dad worrying about my brother change, he was even happier.
“You’re just a child So don’t answer me” sharp He looked at me for saying that So I became blank He is no more The one who used to be out father when mommy was still alive he used to call me his precious princess.
“Y-your not t-he father I used to know …. You are not the father I was born to When I was a child … how could you raise your voice to me dad I was once your princess and now you treat me like a sh* t!” I weakly told him at the same time my Leg was weakening and I was sitting on the floor.
“You only have to toss me away now because I couldn’t lift my hand previously. What’s the deal, dad? If it’s all a ruse, what did you show my older brother and me when Mom was still alive? ” My eyes were darkening as I gazed up at this inquiry because I couldn’t stop crying.”
“WHY CAN’T YOU ANSWER DAD? !! BECAUSE THAT’S TRUE HUH !!! ” I shouted at him. As I bowed down my head because of frustration I felt.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t attached The long dead Lou, GET OUT OF MY SIGHT RIGHT NOW, LOU! YOUR GROUNDED FOR 5 MONTHS! And don’t ever go out of your room. If you want you to stay in the Dungeon for five months. “He said coldly and avoided looking at me as he turned his back and was about to walk to his swivel chair. I stood up.
“Are you really like that and you can put me in the dungeon as your own child?” I ask him with disappointed expression.
“If necessary I’ll do it” He said to me while turning his back I can’t see his expression because he turned his back on me but you can see the extreme coldness of his voice.
” your a monster” I said angrily to him.
“You’ll regret this.” I told him emphatically before leaving his office and walking to my room. Before packing, I changed into a comfortable dress so that I could easily escape the royal guards later to who’s roaming around at the palace.
I picked up my cell phone and called Dexter, a trusted staff member.
“Ring ring” he answered only two rings immediately.
“What do you need?” he asked straightly.
“Prepare your private plane. We will leave this country without anyone knowing and make sure that your private jet is the one you will use so that we cannot be traced” I said here.
“Fine, let’s just meet at the airport” He said and dropped the call So next I called Aunt Carmine the Mother of my childhood cleopard.
“(perché hai chiamato iha?) Why did you call iha?”she said on the other line So I’m just sighing she’s the only one I can trust where I’m going because I can’t trust other.
“(Lascio la Grecia, tita, e stasera vado nelle Filippine, e non voglio che tu dica a nessuno dove sono perché sei l’unico di cui mi posso fidare.) I’m leaving Greece, tita, and I’m going to the Philippines tonight, and I don’t want you to tell anyone where I am because you’re the only one I can trust.” I told her in Italian language.
“(perché te ne vai iha?) Why are you leaving iha?” she asked.
“(te lo spiegherò la prossima volta tita, sto perdendo troppo tempo ora ho davvero bisogno di andare) ill be explaining it to you next time tita, im losing too much time now i really need to go.” I said and dropped the call. I know she won’t let me down.
I was ready but at least I went outside in my veranda first to look if there’s a body guard roaming around because I would pass there later and I would climb the wall just to get out of the highway behind. Time passed. The night was getting dark so I broke my cellphone on the tiles of my room so they couldn’t trace me.
I put on my back pack and walked to the veranda. I looked around if there’s a royal guard roaming around and when I saw nothing, I immediately jumped. I landed peacefully on the ground.
I walked to the back of the palace with caution and when I got there I immediately climbed The high wall well and with a tree on the side I will not have difficulty climbing . When I was in the top I immediately jumped on the road and took the road to the other side of the road because that is the right roadway.
I waited for half a minute before a car stopped in front of me. So I got on.
“(páre me sto aerodrómio) take me to the airport.” I said as I got in the car.
“(nai kyría mou) Yes ma’am.” the driver replied.
FAST FORWARD
The car stopped in front of Greece’s Athens International Airport which is very big. I paid him before going out and entering. The guard didn’t block me when he saw me because they knew me.
I went to where Dexter was and he approached him to guide me to the philippines. We walked together where his private plane. When we arrived there, I was immediately greeted by his two flight attendants.
We went up and sat in the seat of the plane. He was sitting in front of me and handed me an envelope.
“I changed your last name temporarily Iris Lou Clifford and you can’t use Ephraim.” he explained.
“There. Your information will be. You are a poor person and if someone asks you where you are from, tell them your from in the province and you need to find a job for your livelihood because you can’t use your credit card because your dad might easily find your you.”He said so I just nodded.
The plane continued to fly in the sky and I took a nap first because I knew the trip was still a long way off.
