Sold to the Ruthless Master

Lily’s Pov

My mouth fell in shock as he spilled those words.

“I’m ready to hand over my properties to them”He repeated and I burst into tears.

“Thank you sir”

“It’s an agreement between I and your mom, you should try to appreciate your mom for making such outrageous sacrifice, she’s a good mother”

“Which sacrifice did she made?”I asked and he scoffed.

“I don’t think that I’m in the position to tell you that, she will be the one to explain to you, her wish tho”

“Thank you, I really appreciate”I said sniffing and he nodded.

He walk out of the room there after and Mariam sighed.

“He’s lying Lily, believe it or not, there must have been an agreement between him and your mom”

“It’s okay, at least my Dad will be out of this mess”

“Yeah”She shrugged.

Maura Pov

I entered her room and she was the first ont to rush to me.

“Mom”She called and I sighed.

“What agreement did you have with Lucian?”

“Don’t worry about it, at least You’re Dad will be out of the kidnappers den, that’s the most important thing”

“Yes”

“Can we talk somewhere more private than this?”

“Yeah, let’s go”I nodded and turned to Mariam, she nodded and we both walk outside the house.

I led her to the garden and we found a chair there, we both sat down and there was a minute of silence in the garden.

None of us knew how to start the conservation but I decide to start it anyways.

“Thanks”I smiled glancing at her and a tear slipped down her eyes.

“You’re welcome”

“Lily, I knew I’ve not been the best mother to you and Jason, everything happened for a reason, leaving your dad, Not attending to you guys when you needed me most happened for a reason, I’m not saying this for you guys to believe me but I must free my conscience”

“Did you still remember when your dad was sick and has a big lump in his throat?”

“Yes”I nodded, those times were one of the hardest moments in our family.

“The doctor said we should look for a huge amount of money to carry out a surgery on his throat, we were so poor then and finding money to give the doctors was so difficult, we ran helter skelter for the money but we are unable to gather it, after fruitless search, I sold my body to a rich man after a signed agreement that I’ll marry him immediately once he gave me the money, I didn’t have a choice than to do it, I couldn’t face you guys then because of shame , I secretly deposited the money to the nurse after begging her not to reveal my identity, anytime I tried bringing up you guys matter when I’m with the man I married, he always insulted me and abused me sometimes, I didn’t have any choice than to ignore you guys, I’m so sorry”

“Mom, you did this to save Dad’s life”I asked in surprise.

Mom sacrificed her body to save Dad’s life?

“I can’t lose my husband”She replied with tears and I hug her immediately.

“I’m sorry”I muttered and she patted my back.

“Trust me, I’ve never been happy since all these happened, my life has never been the same since then, I’m so sorry Lily”

Lucian Pov

“Are you sure about this?”Daniel asked for the umpteenth time and I sighed.

“I’m very sure Daniel, trust me, it will work”

“This man is very dangerous more than we think”

“I know, don’t worry, it will work out”I assured and soon, we got there, i stopped driving and parked beside the small old building.

“I’m there already”I said connecting the terminals together with my boys own.

“Come inside”He ordered and I scoffed.

“No, you come out”

“Okay then”He replied and hung up.

I winked at Daniel in the car and he smiled.

Soon, he came out and walk up to me.

He look so dangerous and brutal in his long gown sweeping dust as he walk.

“Where are the documents?”He asked and I handed it over to him.

He smiled and open the parcel, he scrutinized through it and his expression changed immediately he get to a file.

“Are you trying to play me or what?, This is…”

“Shush, if you are say anything, you will blame yourself for it”I threatened pulling my gun to his head and he scoffed.

“Guys”He yelled and about ten boys rush out of the compound with heavy guns and weapons in their hand.

“Get him”He ordered and they were about to get to my where I am but I stopped them.

I dip my hand into my button and some red light started beeping in the grass, they move back immediately and my boys came out of their hidings, they were about thirty.

“What?”He scoffed in shock and I smiled.

“Are you ready to fight it or not?”

“What have you done?”

“I’m always ahead of you Mykel, don’t try to fight it, it’s either you surrender with your boys or you want to fight mine”

“Wh…”

“Guys, bundle them into the van and hand them over to the cops, two of you should go bring out the captives to my mansion”

“Okay sir”They chorused and I saunter to my car.

“Good job”Daniel complimented immediately I entered the car and I smiled.

Lily’s Pov

An hour later…

I, Mom and Mariam, sat at the entrance of the mansion as we waited for Lucian and Daniel to arrive.

What’s taking them this long?

Soon, the gate opened automatically and fleets of cars drive into the compound.

Finally!!

I gasp and rush to them and Lucian was the first to come out.

I rush to him and stood in front of him timidly.

“Wait for the black van, your Dad and brother is there already, go prepare another breakfast for I and Daniel”

“Okay, thank you”I said lowly and he nodded.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He and Daniel walk inside the house and mom watch them enter.

“What did he say?”Mom asked curiously.

“He got them already, they are coming”

“Thanks God”Mariam mumbled in relief and soon, the black van arrived.
