170 HELP! PLEASE, HELP ME! (1/2)

Eva did her best to get free from her father's hold of her, to no avail she was dragged back into that house without mercy. Once inside the house, she was pushed to sit down at the sofa.

”You listen to me! Whatever it is your planning to do, you might as well forget about it. From now on you will be locked up until I say so.” Edward growled at her with looks that could kill.

”Come on father! You went out half of the time without a care in the world what happen to me, now you come back and would ground and lock me up, for what?” She asks accusingly tears flowing down her face.

Edward felt terrible after hearing Eva's word, what she said were true. Ever since she was a child, he never paid much attention to her. If she had been a boy, he probably would have treated her differently.

”It doesn't matter what I had done and what I'm doing now. What matter is, I need to take care of my debt, and you're the one I'm using as a form of payment. Therefore, you cannot go anywhere. Understood!”

”What do you mean, a form of payment. What am I, a check?” Eva acting bravely in front of her father now and arguing.

However, deep inside of her, she's trembling and afraid for her own safety. She needed to find a way to escape, or she would be a goner.

Her father had lost it, he's even going to use her as a method of payment for his gambling debt. Whatever he meant by that, she doesn't want to find out.

Eva calculated in her mind the escape route. Her father is currently blocking the doorway so there's no way she could make a run for it.

However, if she could grab that small base and knock him out somehow... Eva was about to implement her plan when Edward's phone started ringing.

”Hello! Yes, Mr. Wright...” Edward turned to her while talking on the phone. He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards her room.

Eva started fighting off her father while screaming. Edward was balancing between the phone on his other and Eva on the other one. ”Mr. Wright, can you hold on for a minute please.”

He put down his phone on top of the corner table by Eva's room. Then, *Bam, thud!* He hit her hard right on her stomach.

”Ugh!” Eva felt a gut-wrenching pain and slightly light-headed from the blow.

”You stay put, or I'll beat you to death!” He threw a kick towards her face, luckily Eva was quick to protect herself and able to cover her face with her two hands.
