Chapter Sixteen

Hanna

My phone rings again. I sigh and pull it out. The asshole behind me groans. I look back and glare. The three calls are from my dad's house. I press my lips together and lean into Rebecca, "I gotta go. Dad is calling over and over."

She shoves popcorn in her mouth and nods, "Text me later."

"Yup. See ya." I climb out of the seat and run from the theatre. I try not to see too much of him but he's insistent that I sleep over every now and then. He's been sick and as much as we aren’t close, I get scared when he's sick. I run out to the car and drive over as fast as I can. I park and run up to the door. Roland has it opened already, "My dear. What brings you here?" He asks all jolly and sweet. I hug him and notice how quickly he pulls away from me. He's always so cold. "Lighten up Roland. It's a hug. You won't die from it." I've been coming over for the forced sleepovers for a few months and he's still so odd with me. Cold and British.

"He's in his office my dear." He closes the door and I run down the hall.

I knock on the closed door.

"Come in."

I open it and look at my father who seems robust and healthy, expectantly.

He smiles and points a hand at a filthy girl with blonde hair and black crusty stains all over her.

Before I can enter the office a man's voice speaks my name, "Hanna." I look down the hall to see a sexy guy with dark hair and eyes and a smile that kills.

I grin, "Hi."

He walks down the hallway to me, undressing me with his eyes.

"I'm Dorian."

"Hanna." I say it, realizing he knows that.

He smiles and looks down. I tremble inside.

My father calls out, "Hanna, come in here for god's sake."

I look back at my dad and the dirty blonde and shake my head, "Sorry." I step in. The Dorian guy comes in the room. He stands close and then looks at my dad, "It's strong. Very strong." He says.

I look at him quizzically, "What is?"

The guy's face lightens back into a cheeky grin, "You are."

I tear myself from his gaze and look at my dad, "What did you want?"

He looks stern and annoyed, "I need you to do something for me."

I raise my brows, "What?"

The blonde stands up, "Go and live with a friend of ours, to keep you safe." I realize how pretty she is, behind the filth and the old tear stains.

"Dad? What is she talking about?" I feel weird about them all, like I know them. I don’t fear them.

Dad stands up and crosses his arms, "These are friends of mine Hanna. They will be keeping you safe, while I'm away sorting out a business deal. I've made some shady deals in the past that are catching up with me."

I roll my eyes, "I don’t need to be babysat. I'm almost twenty.
