Alyx saw her phone, it rang her fathers name, she sighed as she drove back, she wanted to be with Will, but right now he needed space. as she sped back she went to the parking structure her father...was waitinf for her in the next spot over. crap.. she thought to herself. she didn't bother make up a lie. that sneer he wore was not a good sign.
"Make is public Valentine...more humiliation" he then closed the phone, Alyx began to shake and she gulped nervously. she bowed her head "father..." she said as calmly as she could. he circled her "my GPS told me you drove MY car to the hospital...why?"
"I was helping a friend, his mother was in a car accident" she replied truthfully. her father stopped in front of her, he was tall about 6'3, muscular and menacing. his green eyes showed no love...for anyone. his jet black was slicked back. he was handsome, but scary. "who is your friend Alyxandra?"
"William Artello"
"ah yes...Alice Artello is one of my employee's, an extremely good one at that, she was in an accident...sorry to hear that" his voice unemotional. Alyx gulped. he stared at her.
"do you have any...close relations to Will?"
"we are just friends father"
"really now? do I expect to believe that? he is very handsome"
how dare he ask a question like that! she did not say that out loud. how can he see through her like that. "Alyxandra, I want you to know this. through out our family history, we do not concern ourselves with the matters of love it always gets in the way of everything"
Alyx heart was being crushed. she wanted to cry, but she dared not to show her weakness. " partnership is more valuable then emotions"
LIAR!! she thought. her heart was beating so fast. "thats why your mother and I are married...we are together because our parents brought us together and we are happy"
Alyx couldn't take it... she was being punished for her helping someone she found dear to her. "but father-"
"don't you dare interrupt me!" he snapped, she became quite. he sighed "I am allowing you to be friend with Will because his social status is reasonable and his mother is a very good employee of mine, a hard worker. I am sorry to hear that she is in a painful situation that might put her job on the line"
Alyx became very frightened "Father, if it pleases you, I will pay with my own money for the medical bills instead of the insurance policy you offer"
Gabriel smiled and patted her head "why, Alyxandra...how thoughtful of you to take responsibility"
"please...don't fire her..."
Gabriel...in the mind on a man who was always about business had a secret soft spot for his daughters, "I won't, she is a valuable employee..." he began to walk away, Alyx didn't realized that she was holding her breath. her phone rang, she scrambled, finally she opened it "hello this is Alyxandra Phillips?" the number was unreconizeable
