Beauty and the Beasts, Undefined [black books to read TXT] 📗

He kissed my chest and I worked on his pants. I wanted to stop. But couldn't. This was love that I had never felt before. This was something so lost to me. 
           Pleasure washed over me. But it felt wrong. It was wrong. I then realized why he was doing this. My dad was dead. I would inherent a lot of money. John wanted it.
         This wasn't love. This was greed. 

        I kissed John goodbye when he walked to the car. He was off to my mom. I decided to stay. I didnt feel well. I walked back inside and sat on a couch. I thought of Vincent and Damon. I wondered if Vincent would come and find me. 
          Raquel walked over and handed me a glass of milk. " Miss, why did you leave?" she asked. 
          " I had to." I mumbled at the ground. 
           " Miss, I don't think coming back was a good idea. John is still a bad man." 
             " I just needed to come back. If Vincent asks I'm not here." I stood and walked away. I couldn't talk to anyone. I thought of the agent. Something inside of me urged me to go tell. But I couldn't just betray them like that. Then again they had killed my father. 
         My dad was never much to me but he was still my dad. Even though he could technically he didn't know my name and never realized I was there he was my dad. I was such a lost soul. 
         I sat on my bed and looked out the window. Birds chirped and flew about the trees. Then the birds stopped and flew away. I got up and walked to the window. 
          A black figure appeared and jumped onto the veranda from the tree. I screamed slightly. Damon looked up and walked in. 
          I backed away and fell on my bed. " Go away!" I yelled. 
           " Violet, please. Just listen for a moment." he said stepping closer. 
            " No! You killed my dad! And you knew it too!" I yelled. 
            Damon grabbed my wrists and tried to keep me still. " Listen!" he yelled back at me. 
           We struggled until we fell on the floor. He pinned me down. He then kissed me. This was too much. First John now him. At the moment I never wanted to be missed again. 
          I jerked away. " Stop!" I yelled. 
          He looked sad and shook his head. " I didn't kill him. When one of the guards shot at us he missed and hit your dad. When I realized who it was I tried to help. But I couldn't. Please, Violet. I would never hurt you." 
          " Your hurting my wrists right now." I snapped. 
          He let go and sat next to me. " Sorry. You know Vincent is freaking out. He thinks the cops had got you. But I knew you would be here." 
         The cops. I shuddered. " Well you can leave now. I'm not going back." I said getting up. 
         " Oh so your going to stay here so that bastard can hit you some more. Your bruise had just healed. Do you really want another one to replace it?" he stepped closer. 
        I backed away. " Leave." I said flatly. 
        " Please, Violet just..." 
        " Leave!" I yelled. 
        He opened his mouth to say something but stopped. He walked back to the window. He started to hum and I held back tears. He looked at me then climbed down the tree. 
         I closed and locked the window. I pressed my fingers up to my lips and wished for his lips to be there again. 
 
      My mother and father had written their wills long ago. Probably when I was born. Now I sat in a room with John and my mother listening to my fathers. 
        A man in a suit sat behind a desk reading the will aloud. I held Johns hand and starred blankly at the man. We were getting half of his money, which was $500,000,000,000. I didn't understand why we would even need that money. We also obtained his fields. 
        John stood and I followed his lead. He held me close as we walked away. My mother stayed behind, crying. He lead me to our car and I sat down inside. I leaned on him as we drove back. 
        We had been acting like we loved each other ever since I had come back. I was still waiting for the reason. 
        When we got back Raquel waited. She smiled at me and tapped John two times. She tried to do it do I wouldn't see but I did. 
          " Honey, I'll meet you at the dinner table. I need to freshen up." he said.  
            I walked to the table and sat down. The reason was coming. I could tell. 
             After a few minuets he walked in and sat down. His face was pale. Waiters came and set our food in front of us. Salad and soup for the first course. Then steak with potatoes and steamed vegetables. And for desert cheesecake. 
         " Honey, I would like to tell you something." he said stirring his soup. 
          " Yes." I said. What was the secret. 
           " Umm well, when you were gone I got drunk." he said slowly. 
            Like always I thought. " Yes and?" I said. 
            " Well I took this one girl home." 
             Like always. " And." 
             " She's now pregnant. Sweetie I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Please don't tell." 
              I set my fork down and looked at him. " Pregnant. You got someone pregnant?" 
              He nodded. I got up and walked over to him. I took his soup and slammed it onto his chest. He screamed in pain and tried to grab me. 
         I heard Raquel talking to someone and stop. Vincent ran in and pulled me away. He dragged me outside and to his motorcycle. I wanted to pull away but I was so mad. 
       It wasn't because of my dad it was because he got some whore pregnant. Vincent drove away and I held him tight. 
        When he stopped at the apartment complex he turned to say something but I interrupted him. 
          " Is Damon mad at me?" I asked. 
         " No." 
         " Okay." 
          " I just needed you back. I didn't want you to get hurt over there. And I'm sorry about your dad. Damon tried to help but he just couldn't. Do you forgive us?" he asked. 
          I nodded. " Yeah. It's about time someone killed him." 
           Vincent looked confused but just shrugged. " Let's go. Damon will make you a grilled cheese." 
           We walked up the stairs and into the room. Damon jumped up and came over to me. He gave me a bear hug and kissed my head. " Why is it you came back with Vincent but not me?" he smiled. 
        I squeezed him. " Because I like Vincent more." I laughed. 
         It felt so nice to be back. Damon made me my sandwich and we laughed the night away. Maybe this time I'd be able to forget about John. Maybe I might have a real home. 

         I thought about agent Hardaway. Did he know I knew. I wanted to tell the boys but I couldn't. I slipped out of the apartment and down the stairs. I hailed a cab and got in. 
        I looked out the window as the cab drove to my destination. I wondered if agent Hardaway would investigate more after today. 
         I got out at a big building in the rich side of town and walked up the steps. I walked into a office and sat down. 
         " Hello, Mrs. Talli. You called but I don't understand why you would want to do this." the man said. 
          " I need to. So where do I sign?" 
          The man pulls out some papers and handed me a pen. " Sign there and there. We will give the rest to Mr.Talli." 
           I signed and handed back the papers. 
          " Okay when he signs you are legally divorced." he sighed. 
           " Thank you." I said and got up. 
           " You know this will go to court if you want your half of things." he said getting up also. 
          " I don't want any of those things. I dont need it." I walked out the room without shaking hands. I sat back in the cab and he drove me back. 
        It was a different guy and he had a picture of a girl hanging in a small frame from the rear view mirror. 
       He stopped and asked for the money. 
       I pointed to the girl." Do you love her?" 
      The man looked surprised but nodded. " Yes. I just married her. I'm saving money for a real ring." he said dreamily looking at her. 
        I took my ring off. It had a diamond the size of a pea and rubies around it. The gold glittered around it. I handed him the ring and the money. 
         " The money is for the drive. The ring is for her. Hope you two have a great life together." I walked out and closed the door. 
        He sat still in the cab looking at the ring. He rolled the window down and yelled " Thank you so much!" 

        Damon was gone with a friend and Vincent and I were alone. I remember the first time I met Vincent. He had just been hired and was in awe when he saw me. He had left flowers in my room once but was to embarrassed to tell me that it had been him. Raquel had to tell me. 
        I leaned into him as we watched a movie. Selena. I never did like Jennifer Lopez but I loved her in this movie. Vincent gripped me tight when a kissing seen came. I wrapped my arm around
