Billionaire’s pawn

Alexandra Alex Thompson stared blankly at the piece of paper in her hand her eyes blurry as the words seemed to mock her.

"Dear Alexandra Thompson.

We regret to inform you that you have not met the requirements to graduate from Chicago high school. Your grades have being consistently below average, and we cannot provide you with a diploma at this time."

Sincerely.

[Principal Jeffrey]

Alex sank deeply in despair, she had known this was coming but seeing the papers actually made it feel final. She had failed.

As she walked out of the school building, the bright building the entire world seemed invisible before her, her mind was finally empty.

She felt lost, alone, and scared.

Where would she go from here? What would she do?.

The questions tormented her as she walked out of the world she had known for four years.

As she walked home Alex felt suffocated the weight of her failures pressing deep within her mind.

Alex mind wandered back to her parents when they were extremely loving.

When suddenly they became distant, she had grown up feeling she was on her own.

As she turned into the corner of her streets, Alex eyes caught the sight of her parents car in the driveway.

She knew they would be waiting for her excitedly to discuss, or even arrange her marriage.

Alex exhaled loudly as she approached her home. She saw the stern look on there faces and knew instantly that they were aware of her failures.

" Sit down we need to talk!." Her mother stated.

"Well I don't want to." Alex responded.

"Listen here, it is time you faced the consequences of your actions."

Alex's mom said holding her arm firmly.

That was when Alex knew she could no longer live with this people, she stormed out of the brightly coloured mansion and into the streets.

"Alex!!." Her mother yelled.

"Let her go, a few days on the streets will set her straight." Her father said proudly.

Alex ran as fast as she could, her feet hitting hard on the pavement. Not knowing where to go letting her sorrows guide the way.

Arriving at the park she met some survivors, who thought her the rules of the streets. She felt like she just met her new family again.

As much as she loved her family she knew she had to start a new life and that's when she saw him a dark haired man, he was watching her.

His cold gaze made her skin crawl.

Who was this man and why was he interested in her.

He walked towards her, his dark suit reminded Alex of her father.

"You are new here, mins if i introduce you to some people?."

Alex followed the stranger with her heart pounding so loud, she swore he could hear it.

"The name is Dominic, get in the car.". He ordered calmly.

"And why should I listen to you?." Alex asked loudly.

"Are you not Alex Thompson, the one who ran away from home and has no where to go?.". He smiled knowing his words had hit his target.

As Alex stood there speechless Dominic continued.

"I could give you everything you need, food, clothes, protection, a place to stay, all you need to do is trust and be loyal."
