Road To Happiness

Laying on the bathroom floor, my hands on my head and my face in my laps… The noise from my parents room gets louder by the minute especially my dad's voice, he sounded like a beast whenever he got angry, I really don't get why my mom still stays, she wouldn't leave even if he stabbed her in the chest. I don't know if it's trauma bonding. I was tired of the looks we would get from the neighbors, A look of pity, I hated life … My name is Ella, and I am 18 would be 19 in a few months and I can't wait till I'm old enough to leave this place, I would always dream of a home filled with love and happy children, I wanted to create a life I didn't get… I grew up in a very violent home. I didn't get to know what it was like to have a completely functional home, my dad is what you would call a narcissist and in the world we lived in, it was really an encouraged trait in men. I've always wanted to grow up so fast, I guess it was because I wanted to get away from everything, my mom got married to my dad who was a literal walking red flag, he would beat her even before they got married, shame her and with all that he wasn't even rich I guess she was young and in love but i, I was on a very determined mission to find a man that would love and cherish me and everything I represented, I was going to find him even if it took half of my life…. Hi guys this is my first time writing a story, I've always wanted to but i have been too scared to, but please pardon me if it isn't so professional. Thankyou�.

Chapter Eleven ~ Catching Feelings

Tw: mature content below please skip this chapter, if you have no interest in stuff like that..

Henry's POV

It's been two days already and Ella still hadn't woken up, She looked healthy and her bruises had started to heal, but she still laid unconscious in my bed... I grew more paranoid by the minute, I ran my hands through my hair in frustration, Why wasn't she waking up?, Was she just looking for attention? Two days was a really long time to pretend so, i doubt that was it.

I called the doctor over, for the 5th time since she had been unconscious, He kept saying the same thing, " She's fine, she should wake up any minute now", I was getting tired of hearing the same thing but still no improvement.

Like I've told you before, Mr. Ford she is fine, I have done all the necessary things. She'd probably wake up at her own time, So please give her some more time, The doctor explained.

I grab him my his collar, almost lifting him off the ground, what do you mean her own time?, she's been lying there unconscious for two days and you say her own time? or are you really just trying to cover up your incompetence, I yell. My mom cuts in demanding i let go of him.

"I'm so sorry doctor, Henry is just a bit emotional" my mom apologized.

"I understand, besides it's a regular thing in the hospital so it's nothing" he replied. I'll take my leave now, he says walking out the door.

I storm out of the house, getting into the car. I needed a breathe of fresh air, and i knew just the place. I had called Carlton over, I hated drinking alone. I was parked right outside "The place" that was name of the club, it had been a few months since my last visit. I would literally spend the whole day here when i had recently broken up with Carolyn, I would drink myself to stupor and drown in my misery, I also met Carolyn in this same club.

Flashback

I had just landed my first big contract since i started my own company, I didn't want to live in dad's shadow, I wanted something i could call mine, My own legacy. I sat in my car thinking of how far i had come, right from college i knew i wasn't going to make use of my degree, I only went because dad had a lot of expectations from me and my dreams were finally coming true. I had started my own company and things were starting to look up for me. I stared at my phone in my hand, my mom's number up on the screen i was going to call her to let her know i was coming home but instead i call Carlton to send me directions to the new club that just opened up. If i had known i wouldn't have made that call, at least it would have saved me months of depression.

I pack my car opposite the club and take off my suit jacket, I didn't want to look over attired, I loosen up a few buttons on my shirt and head in, The club was fully packed with a lot of sweaty people, i wanted to get a little tipsy before dancing to loosen up, I take a sit at the bar and order some vodka, It started to feel lonely i texted Carlton to come over but he said he wasn't done with the work he had to do, what was the point if i was just going to sit here alone...

I decided it was time to leave, I could barely see the exit from where i stood, I pushed through the crowd "coming here was was a bad idea" i tell myself, It seemed like there  was some drama going on and honestly, i didn't care i just wanted to get out of here, while pushing through the crowd i see a lady struggling with a man he appeared to be in his mid forties, he was a little on the chubby side with a protruding stomach, he voraciously grabbed onto her ass and held her tightly against him, I was more surprised at the people just watching and doing nothing about, so i did the same thing i would do if it were Cassie in this woman's shoes. I walked over to them and pulled him off her literally throwing him across the room, it really wasn't that hard since he was not sober, i squat over asking her if she was fine..

"Are you okay" i asked

"Y..yes" she stuttered, she seemed really shaken up, she was a really small woman, she had blonde hair with big brown eyes that seemed to be teary from the incident, my body easily shielded her from everyone staring down at us, we walked over to my car and i handed her my suit jacket; her dress had been ripped.

"Here" I said handing the jacket to her, I don't mind dropping you home you don't seem like you're in the right frame of mind. She hesitated for a second before she nods taking the jacket from me.

I pulled over at an apartment building, " we're here" I say turning off the engine. Thank you for saving me tonight, she says giving a weak smile. You're welcome i say returning a much bigger smile, She opens the door and bends over the car window, "Wait, you didn't tell me your name". "Henry Ford", i responded. I'm Carolyn Parker.  "Carolyn Parker"i mutter to myself as i drive off into the cold night.

Flashback ended

I was back here at the same club, It hadn't Changed much since the last time i was here, I ordered a dry martini while i waited for Carlton, my mind drifted back to Ella, I felt guilty for putting her in the situation she was in right now. I didn't  always have to be "stuck up my ass" as she said, and i did miss her presence- " What could be making the almighty Henry smile so softly" Carlton says taking a sit beside me.. i hadn't realized i was smiling.

"Is someone inlove?" Carlton joked, shoving me in the shoulder. You know very well that i am not, besides i don't have the time for women at the moment.

I'm just making sure, Ella's mom called earlier but we've taken care of it. We? I said with a confused look. Both i and Cassie...

What actually happened that day, Henry? Carlton asked

We went horseriding and the horse she got on went crazy, I responded cutting out the part of our conversation, i didn't want to hear how this whole situation was my fault, I didn't need anyone to tell me i already felt guilty enough.

"That must have been bad, She'd be fine Henry, i know you feel sad about the whole thing", He said reassuringly. He could read me like an open book...

She's been staring over here for a while now Carlton said, drawing my attention to a lady sitting few tables away. And i think it's quite obvious who she's been checking out, I think you should go over, Carlton said with a grin on his face,I'd rather not and besides i met Carolyn in this same club, Are you trying to get me killed?

"Come on, it's been months now and you definitely aren't getting younger.. you're 28 already and you'll have to start your own family soon" Carlton was giving me a full lecture. I'm going, this whole lecture wasn't needed, i said getting out of my chair. I needed to get Ella out of my head for a little while this would be a good distraction, I thought to myself...

Hi! can i sit here? I asked. "Yeah sure" she said quite eagerly... you're a very fine man you know, I was surprised at her boldness, uhm.. "Thank you i get that alot" I felt quite uncomfortable i wasn't used to being openly flirted with... "I'm sure you do, so tell me a little about you handsome"....

I can't believe you did that" Rose said throwing her head backwards laughing out loud, you're such a funny man, your girlfriend must be so lucky". Well sadly i am a very single man, i replied. I knew what she was getting at so i played along...We had talked a lot over a couple of drink, we were both a bit tipsy at this point. Really? Cause I am also single, we're such a perfect match,don't you think? She gave such a flirtatious look, tracing her hands over my chest, it sent blood rushing to all the right places i could feel the bulge already trying to force its way out of my pants.

I pulled her closer to me, "you're being naughty and you know what happens to naughty girl?" I whispered into her ears, sending shivers down her spine. No, I'd like you to show me she said biting down on her lip. She was definitely making my blood boil, i mean you can't blame me i was only but just a man, it's been months since my last encounter with a woman. "As you wish,Let's go i know a place" i said smirking.

We were heading to my family's hotel, we owned one of the biggest hotels in town and most of the people who came there were either celebrities, politicians or VIPs, i had my own permanent room and that is where we were headed.

"Good evening Mr. Henry" Bella the receptionist welcomed me, How are you Bella? Please hand me the keys to my room i said impatiently. We got to the room floor and i couldn't hold back myself any longer, i grabbed onto Rose like she was oxygen, my lips were pressed tightly against hers as my hands found the zip of her dress, we stumbled into the room barely closing the door behind us, Her dress slipped off her body leaving her in just panties, Her breast stood firm staring back at me, my breathing had intensified and i was harder than i ever thought i would be, I sucked on her left boob lustfully while i fumbled the right one, my hands finding it's way inside her panties, fuck! She was freaking wet it excited me even more, i rubbed against her clit teasing her a bit. Damn it Henry! I want you inside me already, can't you feel how wet i am. She was in complete ecstasy, exactly how i liked my women to be. "Not yet baby girl" you're not getting this dick so easily, i said increasing the pacing at which my hands were moving on her clit, she was screaming and crying from pleasure, fueling my lust more and more... Ella, my mind kept drifting off to her, i was filled with instant guilty all over again.. She was unconscious because of me and here i was messing around. Rose had noticed my indifference- what's wrong baby? She says kissing on my neck. "Nothing, I need you to leave" I said sternly. You're kidding right?,No I'm dead serious, i need you to leave right now, picking up her things and handing them to her.

"You are such a dick", she yells putting on her dress, i hope you rot in hell she storms out slamming the door shut.
