Lavender

Chapter 27 - Drowned

LAVENDER'S POV

I struggled, trying to get out of Larry's arms while screaming for him to not throw me in the pool. "You bastard, if you ever throw me in the pool, I swear, I will f*****g kill you!" I shouted before hitting him on his chest but even if I hit him many times, Larry just laughed together with Daisy who is at the poolside.

"Oh, come on, Lavender. Stop being dry. Get yourself wet!" Daisy said that made me flush.

W-what she said... It's quite uncomfortable. It's like she's telling me to be wet in another way but no, I can't be dirty-minded right now. Larry and Daisy planned to throw me in the pool so I need to get out of Larry's arms quickly.

"Damn it, Larry. Put me down now! Put— damn! Put me down, you i***t!" I said, screaming but Larry just shook his head while he has this idiotic-like dog grin on his face.

"I'm sorry, Lavender but, I am going to have a reward after doing this so..."

Reward? Who the f**k is going to reward him for throwing me in the pool? Argh! I need to get far away from the pool, as soon as possible.

I shouted, feeling scared as I saw that Larry is one step ahead of the pool. "Damn you, Larry! I am so going to kill you after this!" I said, continuing to scream.

I heard Daisy laughing again that quite pissed me off but I don't want to yell at her like I usually do to Jada, my best friend, but I don't want to shock nor upset Daisy so I kept my frustration to Larry. I continue to hit Larry, scream in his ear so that I could distract him. I also kept both of my arms encircled on his neck so that if ever he throws me, I can fight back and hold on to him.

But Larry being a man, he is much more strong than me so he got both of my arms off to his neck easily, making me scream again.

"Put me down, Larry! Put me down, you piece of— I will f*****g kill you after this, Larry! I will kill you, you hear me!" I said, screaming in his ear even if I can hear the two of them, Larry and Daisy laughing.

And then it happened. Larry throw me in the pool and everything became slow as I wait for my body to be submerged in the water. I closed my eyes as I felt the cold water touched my body. But getting my body in the water, it's the wrong thing they did.

Because when my body submerged, I tried to swim up, but I could feel the back of my left leg having cramps, making me go deeper to the ten-foot pool.

Damn! I'm not going to die here. I can't die in here. I feel fear spreading in my body while I hold my breath but I know soon, water will enter my body. And I wish, Larry or Daisy will know what's happening to me down here as I feel that I can't hold my breath any longer.

But I can't see Larry or Daisy diving down while I can feel my buttocks touching the pool's floor, making me lose my breath as I felt water entering my mouth. As water continues to enter my body, my eyes are closing until I can't see anything but the darkness.

DAMON'S POV

I woke up when I heard my phone's loud ringing. "Urgh!" I brushed both of my palms into my face, feeling tipsy because of drinking scotch I don't remember how many I have drunk.

"Argh! W-what..." I can hear the ringing of my cell phone consistently but damn. I hate the loud sound of it.

I sighed as I leaned into the backrest of the couch I'm sitting. "Damn." Good thing I moved here in a VIP room so that I can actually feel free of falling asleep once I drank too much.

I remember women have been walking towards me, flirting, touching, and getting their body glued to me but I'm not like other men. I don't like women going near to me so I immediately paid for a VIP room just so I can drink properly, alone but peaceful.

Away from the loud sounds of flirty song and women trying to woo me. I mean, I am a man with sometimes needs to get laid but after being the Chief Executive Officer of my Dad's company, Ellington Enterprises, I needed to stay focused as my Dad's fake friends who are still fighting to own Ellington Enterprises keep pissing me off by always being against to every decision that makes for my Dad's company.

That's why I needed to be more focused. To not let them find anything to use against me as those s**t already fooled me once and I can't let them do anything to me again. I need to keep my Dad's company and I must be focused. But having Lavender as my sister's caregiver, she started getting into my head.

Not that she's doing anything like flirting to me whenever I'm around the mansion because she's exactly the opposite, especially after what happened last night, I just find her so kind and I can see that she is doing a great job making my sister happy.

Even if I've been busy at Ellington Enterprises, I am clever enough to install cameras that are small enough for Daisy and Lavender to not know that I'm watching them even if I'm at work. I watch them from time to time to realize that Lavender is a kind and soft-hearted person and that she has the ability to make my sister smile effortlessly, for I don't how many times since she came to the mansion.

And seeing her tending my sister, making her happy. I remembered what qualities of woman I needed if I'm going to settle down. And all of those qualities are her.

It's Lavender.

My cell phone rang again, making me open my eyes while still leaning to the backrest of the couch. Getting pissed because of the loud sound my cell phone is creating, I picked it up only to be confused as I saw Larry's name on the screen of my cell phone, calling.

What does he need? I asked myself before answering his call.

"Damn, man! I have called you for the third time, why aren't you---"

"Just what the f**k do you want to say, Larry?" I asked, quite pissed for being disturb.

"Lavender!" he said that actually made my eyes widen as I moved away to the backrest of the couch I'm sitting on.

"Larry, tell me what happened. What happened to Lavender?"

"She drowned, Damon!" I heard Daisy shouting in the call, making me instantly moved and get the hell out of my VIP room.
