The Girl He Craves

My heart was beating uncomfortable, and painfully.

“No,” I finally answered, trying to make it seem like he did- n’t have me close to having my legs feel like jello with fear.

“I’m trying to make sure my grandson has the best future and doesn’t screw things up like his mother had done,” He snarled lowly, rolling his eyes over my figure in distaste.

“But clearly I was too late. Seeing as he ended up with an orphan street rat like you.” He sneered looking around the room and glaring angrily at the roses.

“Your kind doesn’t deserve this kind of gesture.” He spat.

His words hurt and I will admit my heart felt heavy when they slammed against it.
