"Sometimes we look for what we are not ready to find"

Bella

My stomach was stirring with knots

I felt confused

stunned

-I don't owe him anything- My father said tremblingly-. My debt to you has been paid off.

My body was trembling because of the terror. A bad feeling invadinged me. Something bad was about to happen. I knew it, and I wasn't ready.

--I want it right now--I pray the man with a strong accent strange--.I don't accept returns. The money is forgotten.

My eyes opened as I listened attentively to the conversation, and I kept hidden behind the door. What were you talking about? courageously--I got out of my hideout--, I got out of my hideout.

--¿Dad?--

My heart shrank when I dedicate a look full of hatred. Dad was always mad at me. He treated me badly most of the time, justified I looked like mom. What was I to blame? I was just a little girl, and I made the mistake of looking like her.

--Out Of Here Bella

--But...

--I said out--I raise my hand, and I shrunk--.¿You want to beat yourself up?

--No

--Outside

I was about to leave, but my eyes alighted on the unknown

He was also looking at me

He wore a dark suit, and he looked older than me. I nodded approvingly as I watched my body, and then a cold smile appreciated on her lips. His eyes were hard. Dangerous. Terrifying. I got tense by the way he looked at me, and he blinked slowly. The clothes I was wearing were probably much more expensive than my house. Who was this guy? Why did he look at me that way?

was creepy

I was accustomed to having the attention of the opposite sex, but no one observed me this way--As if it were a piece of meat--, Dad said a lot I had to pray for those reasons. According to him, I was a temptation for men. A sinner. It was pretty ironic of her part.

My father was a shepherd of our people. A very devout man of God

--You are much prettier in person--I speak the unknown without failing to look at me--.Your clothes are horrible, but it doesn't matter. I'll buy you better.

My mouth opened in shock what was I saying? My father clenched his jaw, and demanded again.

--Out of here, bitch

Do not hesitate to obey, and I went to my room running and closing the door. I lay down to my bed, and try to soothe my agitated breath. They spent minutes, until I heard footsteps approaching. The alarms were triggered inside me, and I didn't understand why. I covered myself with the sheets, and pretended to be asleep when my door slowly opened

--¿Bella?--.Asked my father and lit the lights

I snatched the sheets that covered my thin body, and kept his eyes on the stranger. I felt exposed, and vulnerable. I wasn't safe here. I had to run. I had to run away

--¿Dad?--Whisper Confused--.¿What´s up?

When I look again, a knot is installed in my throat before its cold look. The hatred was evident in his eyes, and I wanted to die

--Shut up--Growl my father--.shut up

I hugged myself trying to control the cold I felt. God, this was bad. Very bad

--¿Do you know who I am?--.I ask the stranger. His voice caused me shivers in the skin. He sat on the edge of my bed, and I touch my cheek keeping eye contact

--Please--Beg swallowing the knot in my throat--.don´t touch me

His lips curved in a slow smile

--Honey everything will be fine--Murmur, and I look at my father--.It's a deal, Isaiah.

My father nodded, and released a sigh of relief

--It's all yours, forget the debt--Said calmly

¿The debt?, What...?

--You made the right decision--Mumble the unknown without failing to smile--.¿Ready to start a new life?

That's not what I was thinking. Please don't

-¿What´s going on?--Ask again--. ¿Who you are?

I try to touch myself, but jump out of bed to seek refuge in my father. I was surprised when I left the room. And the door behind him. No!

Thick tears fell from my cheeks. I was sixteen years old, but I knew exactly what was going on here. He was no fool. The stranger loosened his tie and took a step near me. Rest my back against the door and breathe with difficulty. My body was trembling, but I kept my gaze in his green eyes

--I want you to know something, honey.--he said--From now on, you belong to me. I'm your only owner.
