Chapter 4 As If I Care?

Angelina stared at Conner then back at her father. "Dad, what's going on here?", Angelina said almost reacting but she chooses to stay calm. Conner shove his two hands into he's pocket, "You may leave now Mr. Paul, Simon will be dropping you off", He said. Paul felt so much happiness in his heart that he couldn't wait to go back home to celebrate his success. He has finally gotten rid of his only daughter and now he can be at peace, having his company registered under Conner. Paul walk pass Conner as he stroll out of the sitting room. "Dad", Angelina eyes welled up in tears and ran after her father from behind. Conner turned and watch them leave with a half smile in his lips. He felt satisfied that he has finally got what he wants. "Dad, tell me this is not true dad, tell me all this is a joke", Angelina voice broke down in tears as she tried to stop her father from leaving. Paul ignored his daughter, not caring how she feels and entered the car that Simon had opened wide for him to enter. "Dad", Angelina rushed to the door and Simon shut the door lock. "Dad", She lowered her head and look at her father that was seating comfortable inside the car. "Dad please talk to me", She pleaded and the car glass was lifted up the close the widow. " Dad please talk to me", She slammed her hand at the door as the car engine started and zoomed out slowly. She ran after the car but the automatic gate closed immediately and she couldn't leave. She broke down in pains and began to cry. She couldn't believe her father sold her to this arrogant man. Conner rest his back at the entrance of the mansion and watched her cry outside. Seeing her cry made him satisfied, this is just what he wanted, to see her cry as a revenge to what she did to him. Angelina turned to see Conner resting his back at the door. She fumed up and stormed towards him. "You monster what did you do?", She asked angrily as she approached him. Conner smirked and stood up straight to face her, he was two feet taller than her so he had to look down to see her face, gazing up at his in anger. "I purchased you, from you father", Conner said boldly and she grip him by the collar. "How dare you?, how dare?", She asked repeatedly and Conner was shocked at her act, no woman has dared question his attitude or even dare to touch him. " You think I am an animal or something that you can afford to buy", She fierce then pushed him back with force. "I am going to leave this fucking place and you are not gonna stop me", Angelina said and turned to leave. "I won't stop you, you are right", Conner said calmly as he tried hard to hold the anger that was building up inside of him. She seems stubborn and he needs to find a way to teach a lesson that will break down her stubbornness. "But remember, you signed the papers yourself and do you know what is written in it?", He asked and Angelina paused to listen. " It says that you are my property now, your father sold you to me and you accepted, so your body, soul, heart, belongs to me", He said and she turned to speak back at him but he cut her shut. "And if you want your father to end up in jail and rust to death, you are free to leave, but if you don't want any of that to happen then stay, so you decide for yourself", He said. "Should your father end up in jail because of your stubbornness or you will stay here and he won't", He added and watched her face turned red as she began to think. "I don't want my dad to go to jail, I know he had done a lot of things to hurt me but I still love my dad, and now, I will have to end up here with this man", Angelina said to herself as she tried to think of the decisions she should take. Conner stood quiet as he waited for her positive respond. * * * Paul came out of the car and entered inside his building. He walked to the bar table and poured himself a drink. "I can't believe it was so easy to get what i want and all I have to do was to sell my daughter", He said to himself proudly as he took a sip of drink from the mug. "Welcome sir", Mariah greeted politely from behind and he turned to face her. "Sir please pardon me to ask about Angelina?", She inquired. Paul laughed before gazing down at her and her eyes was fixed on the ground so she didn't noticed. "I sold Angelina, she is gone forever", He said and walk into the sitting room. " Sir", Mariah heart pound against her chest as she became worried by who he must has sold her to. "Sir why would you do such a thing, she is your daughter, your only daughter", She followed him from behind and rant out. " Mariah just because I answered your question doesn't means you can ask me anything", Paul turned to look at her and she quickly fixed her gaze at the ground. "You are lucky I am in a good mood, I would have kicked you out of the house", He said. "Well sir, please do because there is no need living in this house since lina is not here and in fact I quit", Mariah said and rushed upstairs to park her things. She felt guilty for not been there for Angelina, who knows how shock she will be if she finds out the truth about everything. "As if I care", Paul said to himself and relaxed on the the coach.
