Chapter 4
London's POV
I sat on the edge of my bed and placed my elbows on my knees. I'm no fool, I know that my parents hate my lifestyle and honestly, so do I. My parents are one of the best parents any kid could ever asked for, my mother was a famous chef who owned a chain of restaurant across the island and in Blue Moon city as well, my father owned a large business where the world's best luxurious cars are created, my parents where not always the best. They used to be like what most hard working parents out there are like, negligent. They barely had time for me and they were always on some important business trip, leaving me with a nanny whom was not all bad but everything changed when a new nanny was brought in.
At that time I was about eleven years old, Unlike all the other nanny the new nanny was a male, my parents apparently changing the gender of the nanny because they thought it would be a good idea so I could have a male figure in my life, a job that my father would have done better at. At first glance the new nanny Ronald was the sweetest person ever but little did they know, he was far from sweet. The first night was fine, thinks started to change on the second when he mistakenly or purposely entered the bathroom while I was bathing and saw me naked. I can still remember the look in his eyes, it was pure lust so intense it made me uncomfortable.
What followed was the worst experience any child should never have to go through, he had first started by advancing toward me and started tickling me which turned into a him giving me a hand-job and before I knew it I was deflowered. It went on for months, it was like a routine, every night before bed it was the same thing and in those months my parents did not even for once come home to check up on there only child that they had left behind with a stranger. It had gone on for so long that I had even lost count but things can be kept in the dark for so long because one day my body could no longer keep up and I blacked out in school, I was rushed to the hospital where they discovered that I was being molested at home.
When my parents found out they rushed back to the island, that was what it took for them to act like parents for time since I was born. In the end Ronald was arrested and my parents made sure that he went to prison with a very long sentence. After that I spent months in my room and in that time my parents did not leave the house. Eventually, I crawled out of my shell but since then my parents had never left home for more than two days and I know that there trying to fix what has been broken, and honestly I am broken, I still get nightmares even after so many years, I did try therapy at one point it was what helped me get back on my feet but I still feel it, the void in my chest, it's dull but it's there.
But I'm fine now, I mean what kind of traumatized person goes to parties and gets drunk ? the best part is my parents are not gonna say anything with how live my life since they want to make up for what they did to me, meaning that I get do what ever I like but lately I've been less enthusiastic about going to parties, sometimes I even feel I hollow. Even though, I still blame them for what I went through I still want them not to worry about me and I know that they want the best for me so maybe I'll go to class tomorrow who knows I might actually enjoy it.
I sighed and stood up from the bed before walking to the bathroom cause damn! I need a bath.
The next morning the alarm rang and for a second I almost ignored it when I remembered the promised I made to my myself last night, Getting up was the worst but I prevailed. I took a quick shower then got dressed, I left my room, I found my mom fixing the table in the breakfast area. She was surprised to see me up so early and fully dressed like I'm going somewhere.
" Sweetie? Your up early today" She started then settled on her seat and I followed suit.
" I have to, my first class is in an hour" I replied while grabbing two French toasts from a tray that was on the table and placed them on my plate before pouring myself a glass of juice. I took a bite from my toast before looking up at my and she had the most priceless expression I have seen on her face.
" Class? Y...your going to class? Twice in a week?" She pointed at me with her lips slightly parted.
I took a sip of my juice " Yup!" I nodded.
"Oh sweeties, I'm so proud of you" She smiled and stroked my head, I just smiled back.
Not long after that my dad came to join us and the perfect picture of a happy family was made.
Silver heart was an island found a hundred miles of the shore, It was what you would call a paradise for the wealthy. The island had properties that were worth at least six figures and schools that had fees that were not for the faint hearted to pay. Crime barely happens here and when it does specialists are hired to deal with it. Everyday was like a vacation in this island with sandy beaches, five star hotels and restaurants, luxury night clubs and bars and A-list water parks. Silver Heart University was the only varsity in the island with a maximum of a eight hundred students enrolled there yet it was in the top five best universities world wide.
But to me it was a cage meant to trap free birds, a place used to poison young minds and rob them of their youth. But here I am heading towards my first class of the day willingly and believe me when I say I want to turn around and walk away but strangely enough my legs are not listening to my mind as they keep leading me to class.
The hallway was filled with students as they navigated the large building to get to there classes. Every girl I came across stared me with lust in their eyes, some even called my name but I payed no heed to them cause my mind was in chaos. I paused at my class entrance and stared at the double doors wondering if I should go in or not. I mean the class is only one and a half hours, what's so scary about a few minutes sitting in the same place listening to a lecture talk about stuff that did not make sense, just go in. After some much convincing I decided to go in.
I took a deep breath and pushed the double doors open and walked in. The whole class turned to me the moment I stepped in, not bothered by the stares, I started looking for my friends and when I spotting them in the back row, I walked towards them.
" And where do you think you going?" This deep, raspy, yet sexy voice suddenly spoke, I turned to the voice and almost tripped on my own feet when I saw the owner of the voice.
