The Lycan’s Contract Mate

I got a text from my father’s assistant that evening and it stated that if I refuse to do as my dad said, I should consider myself not part of the Embry family, I decided I won’t let that piece of information get to me, I wasn’t going to do as he say, after going back to Dilgem, I will decide for myself what I would do and how I will live my life, this whole month in Owhen was for Rose and I am not going to let my dad make it about himself, never, he never even called me, not once, if I didn’t come to Owhen for Rose he would have continued ignoring me, now he suddenly wants me to stay back here and run an hospital he built, what more? Get married, yeah like it was his decision to make.

I decided to go for a walk when I woke up, three days after I spoke with my dad, yesterday, I got a message from his assistant again saying dad was going to remove my name from the family register, I deleted the message of course and tried to forget I even saw it, and it started, I tried using my card for something online yesterday but it was rejected, apparently, my card had been cut, I knew that means I was completely on my own.

I walked down the stairs of Rose’s parent’s house, both her mom and dad were currently out of town and I felt more at peace in the house, her parents have been nice to me but I still felt awkward when they are around.

I didn’t want to bother Winrose seeing how stressed and tired she has been, the past two days, she had been constantly putting things in place for her wedding and I could already feel the pressure of wanting everything to be perfect on her, not to mention her wedding planner ditching her without prior notice.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hi, can you drive me to caramel park? You don’t have to bring me back,”

I said to Rose’s driver when I found him, I needed a breath of fresh air and I needed to think, I know I said I won’t let my dad cutting me off get to me but it did, it did so bad and I have only be struggling to keep myself from breaking down, I needed a place to think and Caramel park has always been my safe place, back then when I was younger, I used to go hang out there, it was the only place I was allowed to visit aside from Rose’s house, the quiet

“Yes ma’am,”

He said and off we went, it took about thirty minutes to arrive and when we finally did, I let out a soft laugh of relief feeling excited for the first time in days.

“Thank you for bringing me here, I will find my way back to the house,”

“Are you sure? You can call me or the young madam and I will come pick you up,”

The driver suggested, but I declined.

“No, it is fine, I will find my way back, thank you,”

I said and got out of the car, the driver nodded and left, I looked at the park I used to spend a lot of time here back then, of course, eight years has done a lot to the park but it was still pretty and natural, only a few people walked by and they didn’t bother to acknowledge me, neither did I, I wasn’t here for anyone, I took the familiar stairs to the place where people rarely visit in the park, the small spring opening that was considered to be off-limit, but not for me, that was my safe place, the fact that I could be there without being interrupted, I remember spending so much time here that the people assigned to me always knew where to take me whenever Rose was either busy in school or out with her parents, none of those people worked for my dad anymore, I am guessing he fired them right after he sent me off to Dilgem, I couldn’t put it pass him.

“Still so beautiful,”

I let out when I got to my spot, the whole place was like it came out of a magical book, a small world of its own, water gushing out of a clear plain stone that looked more like a carved stoney horse, surrounded by palm groves and green algae, and following into a pool, the pool was heart-shaped and back then, I used to daydream of finding my mate and both of us getting married here, how stupid and naïve I must have been.

“Never again.”

I said as I sat on the grass and watched the water flow freely, I let out a sigh I have been holding and just enjoyed the cool breeze letting go of all my worries, I sat there just enjoying nature for about two hours until my phone beeped not once but twice, I knew I should ignore the text but I checked anyway and regretted it.

“Okay, card gone, apartment gone, cars gone, what next?”

I whispered, after reading the content of the text, my house in Dilgem was no longer mine, and neither were the three cars in it, yup, all the things my dad gave me were officially not mine, he did say he would cut me off and he was doing just that, there was no stopping him.

“I should go back,”

I said getting off the ground, I knew it would take a while to get to where I can get a cab from here, at least walking that long would help me think and also help me get myself together before I get back to Rose’s house, I didn’t want to bother her with my problems.
