Chapter 12 - Freedom

Crystal Lemiere

"Don't give me that look." I said to Daniel and Olivia.

"You got everyone panicked.." Daniel said and Olivia hugged me. I asked her to call Stella or Priscilla to help me with my wounds.

"You know.. your dad is so angry right now." Olivia said as she gave me a cup of water.

"I know.."

"Why do you always in this state eveytime you meet him?" She asked whispering because Daniel is currently calling someone.

"We always fight and almost kill each other." I said and Olivia sighed.

"Crystal.. I think you should listen to your dad. He might kill you one day."

"He won't, he likes me." I said as I leaned back.

"What? He likes you?" Olivia asked me disbelief and I nodded.

"Yeah." I answered and at the same time someone opened the door. I turned to see Stella and Priscilla. They both ran to me and checked my both. There are scratches everywhere and a cut on my lips.. not only that but the wound from the bullet that Lucas shot still there and hurting.

"Thank God, we both at the hospital or you're done." Priscilla said.

"Don't remind me and please tell your husband that I hate him." I said to her and she chuckled as she treated my wounds.

"Gosh.. Crystal.. what did you do?" Stella asked.

"We fought.. I mean we always fight." I said.

"So you two meet just to kick each other ass?" Priscilla asked.

"Of course.. I don't think they will make out." Olivia bluntly said.

"No.. I made out with him. We always make out and fight every meeting." I said and they all three looked at me disbelief.

"Make out and fight? What are you Mr. and Mrs. Smith?" Stella asked.

"Oh come on.. he's hot."

"He's a mafia!" They all three said that at the same time.

"You should here what dad said.." Priscilla said.

"No thankyou.. I'm not listening to him. I'm 22 for godsakes!" I hissed.

"You know you're still a baby to us." Olivia said and I glared at her.

"I hate you for saying that." I hissed and she pouted.

"You're in a really big trouble, Crystal. You're dad is currently hunting Lucas. They won't be here for now." My eyes widen.. and I turned to Olivia.

"Babe.. can you take us there?" Olivia said to Daniel sweetly.

"Don't give me that tone.."

"I'll take you there.." Someone bursted the door and I smiled to see Autumn.

"Let's go." I got up from my seat.

"I'm not done yet!" Priscilla said but I ignored her. I walked to Autumn and she gestured to get into her car.

"What is my dad doing?"

"Taking him down.." Autumn answered and I sighed.

"He's at the office right?"

"Yeah." She answered as she drove out from Daniel's place. She speed up and I just trust her.. she's good at racing.

"Where's Morris?"

"I locked him." My eyes widen.

"What? Where?"

"Inside our room.. I locked him there and I kicked his butt earlier." I laughed and we both hi fives for it.

"Good."

As soon as I arrived.. I ran into the building and got into the elevator. I pressed my dad's office floor completely anxious. As soon as I got out from the lift, I ran into the office and there's my whole family there.. oh shit!

"That's it! I will kill him!" My dad bursted angrily when he saw my body. I sighed and then walked to him.

"I might have a soft spot for you Crystal but this time.. you're-"

"What happened?" My mom literally looked at my body in horror. I rolled my eyes and then my dad looked at my face.

"What did he do to you?" Matthew asked and I gestured everyone to sit down.

"Let me explain to all of you from the start.. sit down daddy." I said and he looked at me suspiciously. I gestured him to sit down but he's still standing.

"Daddy.. sit down or I won't tell you." I said and he sat down right away.

"When I first met him, I was trying to save someone. He got me and he's interested in me because I'm the daughter of Nicholas freaking Lemiere. He threatened me a few times but never about taking my life away but someone else's. My boyfriend died because he killed him and he threatened me other things.. he asked me to go to Miami before he killed someone. I brought Seth and Jones with me because I had a plan to get him back. You know we both have weird attractions where we fight and then make out.."

"What?!" My dad asked me disbelief.

"Dad.. I'm 22 years old." I rolled my eyes and he smacked he table.

"I will kill him!" He bursted and I glared at him.

"I'm not finish!" I bursted and they all looked at me patiently. I sighed big time and looked at them one by one.

"You guys always kept me in everything you do. You guys always kept me in my comfort zone and I hate that. The incident that happened in Seattle was a turning point for me. It was my first time to use my fighting skill and really experience the real world.. the world that you hide from me." I said in a calm tone and sighed again.

"Once in my life can you all let me do whatever I like and give me the freedom that I deserve? The more you lock me inside.. the more I will try to runaway and the more I will make you all get a heart attack." I added and my dad sighed.

"You're my daughter and everyone knows you.. The enemies out there want you as a bait to get me. I don't mind if they ruin the company but I don't want to lose you in the process." My dad said and I understand everything.

"Then can you at least give me a little freedom?"
