Regis looked over at what he believed to be his sister and he felt the anger behind the words she spoke, her own father… Well it had been done and he couldn’t take it back now. He was a stubborn old man. 

Evan sighed himself when the deal had gone through, he looked down as Damian had warned him and he knew he could not argue this anymore. Closing his eyes, he felt horrible at the idea of this girl being brought in to be told she was being pawned off. Sold off by her father as if it was business. 

Raising his hand Regis moved it to the phone on his desk, pressing the buzzer “Iris, please come in here.” His voice was calm, collected like nothing was wrong. Even though his exterior showed nothing wrong inside he was nervous for her reaction, this could go one of two ways and he feared the outburst. He wished he could have a few moments with her to explain but the fact he had wanted her brought in straight away it meant he would not have the time he wanted. 

Confused as to why she had been called inside on one of his meetings Iris had knocked on the door gently before entering. “You called?” Glancing towards the other people in the room she couldn’t help but notice the girl and boy who were stood seemed agitated over something. Moving inside further she stood at the side of her fathers’ desk with a small smile, she was a little nervous when it came to his meetings because usually she was never a part of it so this was quite out of character. 
“Iris, this is Damian.” Regis stated simply as he gestured towards the male on the seat opposite him.
“Oh, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Iris smiled towards Damian; she went to hold out her hand to shake as a form of greeting but hesitated when her father spoke up again. 

“It has been decided you will go with him; a deal has been made and you were the prize so to speak.” His voice sounded cold but there was no easy way to put it. 

“E-Excuse me?” Her voice stuttered slightly as she took a step back without even realising it. The smile had dropped from her face as she looked at her father astounded. 

Closing his eyes before he looked back at his daughter, he knew this would be difficult but at the same time he couldn’t have everything on the line because she wouldn’t comply. “Damian has been kind to us, he has assisted with my work. Ensured our safety and stability. In return you will do as your told and not cause trouble.” His voice was slightly threatening as he was trying to explain to her that no matter what this would happen. “You will be going with him; he has agreed to stop by your house to collect your belongings.”

Stiffening at his words she bit back her retort, hands curled into fists slightly angered by this whole situation. How could he do this to her? How could this happen? Collect her belongings? She couldn’t believe this was happening. Surely it was some sort of bad dream and she would wake at any moment. Biting her lip she folded her arms to hide the fists, to hide the trembles because she didn’t know what was going to happen next.
