Day Six Part 4

Lillian stood in front of the mirror and looked at her swollen face. The red was fading to a purplish color as the bruise was coming to the surface. It hurt really bad.

She was trying to decide if it was worth staying when she knew Jake could not really protect her in this world.

Was love enough to go through the pain and torecher of the upper class.

Soon she heard a knock on the door and Gege the maid game in.

"Miss, you alright?" She asked.

She turned and Gege gasped. "I'll bring you ice and some ointment for that. She sure hit you hard."

"Thank you."

Gege left and reported back to the Old master. He then had her call the Doctor.

Pop took out his phone and called Zane.

"Hello Master Smith what can I do for you?"

"Zane my boy tell my grandson to come right away. Miss Hood has been hurt."

"He'll want to know what happened."

"His mother hit her. I've sent for the Doctor but Gege said it looks bad."

"Gage's with her?" Zane sounded relieved.

"Yes, I had her go up and be with her."

"Ok we will be there soon." Zane hung up then while making calls her headed up to Jake's office. Zane had just rescheduled some meets as he stepped off the elevator .

"What up?" Jake said, He was in a great mood.

"Jake... we need to go back to the mansion."

"What's wrong is it Pops?" He stood up and walked towards his friend.

"No it Lillian."

"What.... What is wrong with Lillian?" He was in a full panic now.

"Your mother hit her. They've call the Doctor."

Jake pulled Zane to the elevator and they headed out. Zane had a driver already at the front.

Jake was steaming. He would not be kind to his mother if Lillian is seriously hurt. No one could touch what was his.

When they arrived home he ran up the stairs taking them two at a time. As he reached the room the Doctor had just come out.

"How is she?" He asked.

"She'll be fine. Her face will be a little painful till the bruise heals. I've given her a mild pain killer. Have her eat soft food for a few days." The Doctor explained.

"Yes Sir. You sure she is alright?" He was still anxious.

"Yes son, she is, go see for your self." With a chuckle as he left.

Jake slowly opened the door. Gege was sitting at the side of the bed holding Lillian hand.

When she seen the young master walked in she stood up. "The Doctor gave her something for the pain. She just closed her eyes sir."

"Thank you Gege, Zane is down stairs please keep him company." He knew that those two had a thing going and he wanted to be alone with Lillian .

"Thank you sir." She rushed out to see her love.

Jake sat down on the bed and picked up Lillian's hand. Her eyes opened and looked up at him. Jake seeing she was still awake pulled her into his lap.

"I'm Sorry." He said holding her close to him.

"You didn't do it. Your mother did." She was sounding drowsy.

"Yah but she is my mother." He kissed the top of her head.

"I'm tired can we not go out tonight?" She asked.

"Anything you want." He laid her back down and placed a blanket over her. "You rest I'll be back soon."

"O....k" She closed her eyes and was fast asleep.

Jake quietly walk out of the room and down stairs. He found his mother and grandfather in the parlor.

"Why?" He firmly asked.

His mother blinked, "Why what?" she asked even though she knew what he was talking about.

"Why did you hit her?" He was loosing his patience.

"Oh... She does not belong in our world if the cries about a little slap." She rolled her eyes.

"You lay another hand on her and you will see what that kind of slap feels like mother." He was tring his hardest to control his temper.

"She what that girl is doing, she even has you threading your own mother."

"No mother. It is you and your doing that caused me to threaten you. Why are you here shouldn't you be with father."

"Because of that girl your father has left me for his mistress. If you had not had me give her my shares your father would have not left me."

"Do you hear yourself mother?"

"It's the truth." She said.

Jake did not understand his mother and her logic. He then turned to his grandfather, "Pop can I move into Rosewood?"

Rosewood was a small estate that belonged to his grandmother. They would spend weekends there. It had high security but no one had sit food in it except the maids that kept it clean since his grandmother passed. He knew his mother had bugged his grandfather for years about letting her have the property. However she did not know that her own mother hand made her husband promise to give the property as a wedding gift to her grandson.

"Yes, if you wish" He said.

"No father, you can't. I have been asking for years for that property." Yelled his daughter.

"Jake make the arrangements and take Gege with you. You can stay as long as you want."

"Thank you Pop" he then bent down and hugged his grandfather.

After her walked out Mrs. Wolf threw the book she was reading.

"Why father?"

"Because it's what your mother wanted. It was what she made me promise." He said.

"What do you mean, she always told me that Rosewood would be mine someday."

"After we found out about the other two children you husband had your mother tried to talk to you. You blew up and told her to stay out of your life. Jake was two then. You then started spending less time with us and we only seen Jake a few times a year. After that she made me promise that no matter what I would leave Rosewood to Jake. It's in my will if you don't believe me."

"Father how could you?" She started crying and ran to her room.

'Where did they go wrong with that girl.'
