Her father Edward Wen just arrived from his recent escapade in Las Vegas . He has an unreadable look on his face, and he looks so haggard and unkempt . Eva guesses that he lost again, "I hope not like the last time . If he continued gambling the company funds, sooner or later they would get him for embezzlement . " She thought as she was trying to be inconspicuous .
She was tip-toe-ing toward the back door by the kitchen . With luck, her father would not find out she went out at all .
She opened the door slowly and quietly; she put her head first to see if anyone inside the kitchen at all . The coast is clear; it seems they were all busy catering to her father who just arrived .
She made it inside the kitchen and still tip-toe-ing, she almost made it to her room when "young lady! Where have you been? " The color drained out of Eva"s face . She"s speechless at first, and terror was showing on her eyes as she looks at her father standing tall in front of her .
"Hi! Dad, how was your business trip? You look tired, why don"t you go and rest first and we can chat later . " She"s smiling, but fear crosses her face .
"Don"t you dare changes the subject, I asked you where you been?" A line appeared between Edward"s brows, eyes burned with anger .
"Dad, I was not changing the subject, more like not wanting to answer . " Eva"s tone of voice was barely audible to hear .
"I heard what you said Eva, I"m might be old, but I could accurately hear you," His lips drew back in a snarl then glared at her .
"Dad . . . ! Come on, you just came back from a very long tiring flight; Why don"t you freshen up first, and in the meantime, I"ll prepare something delicious for you to eat . " She plastered a half-smile on her face while her lower lip quivered .
Edward looks at his beautiful young daughter when it suddenly hit him . It should solve his problem in regards to his debt to Mr . Wright, the Mafia boss in Las Vegas .
Edward heard that he likes young beautiful Asian girl . News around the strip was he"s recently divorced from his old ex-wife, and he"s now looking for a new young one to replace the old one . "Hahaha!" He was excited about his idea; he couldn"t wait to make a deal with Mr . Wright .
He can make a deal with him regarding the money he owed . That"s right, and he can use his beautiful young daughter as a bargaining chip .
Edward forgot what he was asking Eva, he hurriedly turned around and went to his study to make a call to Las Vegas .
Eva breathes a sigh of relief when her father turned around and left . She rushed to go inside the sanctuary of her room where she can feel safe from her father"s wrath .
Once inside, she locked the door and put a chair to block anyone from entering . She"s afraid that her father would start drinking and once he gets drank, she would the target like in the past .
Eva sat on the top of her bed still shaking to the core of her being . The way her father was looking at her just now, scares her . The looks he had given her was mischievous; it could only mean one thing . He"s out to no good, and she"s the target .
She remembers the address Ethan had given her a while ago . "I could sneak out and run away . I could ask Ethan if I can temporarily stay with them . I know he has a feeling for me, I can see it in his eye . "
Eva started packing some necessary thing she would need for her journey to freedom . Unfortunately, she could only take what would fit in her backpack which is not much .
She suddenly remembers the dress, how is she going to be able to take it with her?
"That"s right! I could go ahead and wear it, then put other clothes on top of the evening dress . " Good thing that the dress would not wrinkle so she could put another clothed on top of it .
Eva put on the evening dress then picked another dress to put on top of it, luckily the dress she chose was about knee length . She has a dress that could cover the evening dress .
She chose a matching shoe from her collection, put it inside the backpack along with make-up and other toiletries .
Eva was ready and about to open her window to escape when she remembers her pa.s.sport and money, which is the most important of all .
She hurriedly went and dug it out from the bottom drawer of her computer desk, shoves it to her backpack . Eva looks around if she had forgotten anything else, nothing .
Verified and confirmed that she has everything she needed, she walked towards the window and unlocked it very, very, very slowly as not to make any noise .
Once unlocked, she pushed the window sill to open wide, and it creaked a little enough to scare her that someone might hear the sound . *Thud, thud, thud . * She can listen to her heartbeat going fast by the minute .
Fist foot out, she then lifted herself to the edge of the opening . She slowly ducked her head going out . Once her feet touched the ground, she brought out the rest of her body out .
Finally, she made it out of her room after much struggle . She dusted off the dirt of her dress and turned to leave when, "where do you think you"re going?" Edward Wen was standing right in front of Eva glaring .
"I"m leaving, and you can"t stop me!" Eva replied voice cracking, mouth quivering and tears were forming in her eyes .
"I don"t think so, honey!" Edward grabbed Eva and started to drag her back to the house .
Eva started kicking and punching her father, "Let me go! Help! Help!"Her father Edward Wen just arrived from his recent escapade in Las Vegas .
