It get's Peddieish soon FYI. Oh and later Patricia and Eddie blow up on Asia. But at seperate times.
Elija POV
I was fighting off the guys when security came. They grabbed all of us. Nigel held a collapsed Asia in his arms.
"Did you hurt her?" he asked.
"No they were beating her and I saved her." I said.
"I don't know if I can believe you yet. I'll ask her but for now I can't let you go." he said. Are you serious? A security guard handcuffed me to a pole and kept watch of me.
All of security were trying to wake Asia back up. Nigel looked over the damage. Her dress was tattered. She only had minor scratchs. Her hair had gotten tossed around and her crown got smashed. She started moaning and everyone looked at her. She rubbed her eyes.
"Princess, are you ok?" Nigel asked.
"Yes, I think." she said.
"Did Elija hurt you?" he asked.
"No he protected me." Asia said.
"Really?" He asked again. I nodded. I was bleeding from a few scrathes and had a few bruises. Those dicks were going to hurt Asia because she goes out with me, and broke up with them.
Mr. Sweet came around the corner and nearly fainted when he saw Asia. His face turned from tan to pale in 3 seconds. He gripped her arm as Jaleel and Shannon guarded the door.
"What happened?" He asked her. She looked faint also.
"Uh, Tyler. And um Cole er James. Marvin and Dylan. They beat me up. Kicked my leg." She motioned down at her leg. She moaned in pain and wiped blood from her face.
"Damn it. You're not safe anymore. You are staying in France! And no hanging out with anyone I don't approve." He threatened.
"I'm fine. They just were mad at me for being friends with Elija." She motioned at me.
"Why are you handcuffed to a pole?" He asked me.
"He thinks I'm 'suspect'." I said.
"Yes, he's suspect." Nigel said.
"He didn't do anything." Asia said. I sighed.
"I didn't do anything to her. I didn't hurt her. I would never." I explained. Asia was leaning on her dad. He was dabbing away her blood.
"I never intended to hurt her. I only wanted to protect her." I said. She is my girlfriend I would never want to hurt her.
"Just uncuff him, Nigel. I need to think." Mr. Sweet waved me off. Nigel came over to me. He stared me in the eyes.
"I'm watching you." he said before he released me. He took the key and let me go. It felt good to feel my own wrist again. I wrung them.
Patricia POV
I heard Asia got beaten again. I left the ball and went to her bedroom. She wasn't in there. Guards were posted down the hallway. I followed. The master bedroom. Two guards opened the double doors. Asia was laying in the bed. Elija was watching TV next to her.
"What happened?" I asked examining Asia's arms and legs and tattered dress. She snatched her arms away from my grip.
"Some bastards beat me up." She said.
"Watch your mouth young lady. Why did they beat you up?" I asked. I could tell she was annoyed.
"Idk."
"English please."
"I don't know. Duh."
"You must know."
"Well I don't. So go back to England and do what ever prostitutes do." She said. I could have hurt her right then.
"Ho-o-w did you know that?" I stuttered. It took every muscle in my body for me not to strangle her.
"I have my ways." she said. I heard Eddie's voice in the hallway.
"You have to follow her EVERYWHERE. I'm even going to hire some female security so they follow her in the bathroom. She has to be extremely protected." I heard him say. Asia didn't need any security. She needs to learn how to fight back and how to stop getting on peoples nerves. I walked out of the room. I had enough of Asia for one night.
"Eddie can I talk to you?" I asked.
"Sure honey. Meet me in the office." He said leaving Zahir and Cameron in the hallway. He closed the door to his office and he sat down.
"It's about Asia. And the whole fight." He nodded.
"I know. I've already boosted security by 75%." He informed me.
"That's exaclty what I wanted to talk to you about. Asia doesn't need security guards. This should be a sign that she's getting on people's nerves with her bratiness. She needs to learn how to fight instead of calling for you or Cherish. She needs to make her own friends too. I know you paid for Tate, Tamera and Lea. They aren't healthy relationships. She needs to find someone who truely like her personality. Not just her daddy's money. That's why they turned on her that day in the mall, they were tired and annoyed at her personality...they only did it for the money. She needs to learns some respect!" I snapped. He nodded.
"I strongly disagree. She's only like that because she witnessed her mother's death. I spoil her to make her happy. And I pay for her friends so I know they won't fight and she'll be safe." He replied.
"Well how did that turn out for you? She's been in a fight twice in the past week!"
"Well. I'm trying I just boosted her personal securit-"
"Security isn't the answer! She needs to learn her own lessons. You can't protect her from life! She needs to grow up and learn herself! You have sheltered her to the point she doesn't know how to fit in with normal civilians!"
"Ugh. Patricia let's not argue about this."
"I'm not arguing with you. I know I'm right. No discussion. And Asia doesn't even accept any of my family. She locked Ashlynn in a fucking closet! She threatened her too! She made fun of Adrian's inahler and she fights with Jason all the time. She doesn't even act like she wants us here. Not to mention she framed me by stealing the Amlet and planting it my purse, also not to mention how she deleted your security tapes. Just because in one of them she was fooling around with Cherish's 18 year old son!"
"She would never do any of that. And she has never had a boyfriend!"
"How do you know that? You shelter her. That's why she goes out and ditches bodyguards so she can act out. She just wants to be a normal child. No security and no paid friends!"
"Patricia! I don't want to fight or yell! She's going to have her extra security and that's final." I left in a huff. I went in my room and kicked out the brat.
"This was my house before it was yours. So go to a motel." She sneered. I almost hurt her.
"Listen Asia. Get OUT. You now listen to me. I'm your stepmother. I've been nice to you ever since I came here. But I've had enough with your mess. You are going to listen me and not give me lip. You are to do as any adult says. You want to be treated like a normal girl? Act like it. We're not going to spoon feed you everything. You're going to have to work for it." I screamed.
"When daddy retires from the throne. It's MY crown. MY kingdom. MY palace. Not yours. So I don't know who you think you are but I'm the princess around here. So treat me like it." She argued.
"LEAVE my room! I need to sleep. There are plenty of other rooms in this palace. GO FIND ONE!" I was at my last straw.
"If there are so many, then go find one."
"Asia!"
"Patrica-a-a-a-a!"
"SECURITY!" Nigel came in and seized her. "Take her into her room. I don't want to see her for the rest of the night!" I needed to rest and clear my mind. This little girl isn't getting the best of me.
Eddie POV
I went to check up on Asia after her beating. She was in my bed all annoyed.
"What's wrong?" I asked. She turned her head away from me. I huffed and went to Ashlynn's room. She was coloring. I knocked on the door. She looked up and ran into my arms. I kissed her head.
"Hey Daddy!" She said.
"Hey Princess." I said.
"I'm sorry I wasn't at the thingy on time." She apolagized.
"It's ok baby. Just how did it happen?" I said.
"I locked myself in the closet but I don't know how." She said. What? Closets lock from the inside so how did she get locked in? I mean there is a key where you can switch so it locks on the outside but you need a key and the only person who has that is me and... ASIA!
"Was Asia near you?" I asked.
"Yup. We we're playing hiding and seeking!" She said. I sat her down and headed back to my other daughters room. She was being pampered.
"Asia, why did you lock your sister in a closet?" I demanded while sending the people out.
"I don't have a sister." She said.
"Asia, I'm not in the mood for your games! Why did you do it?" I said getting annoyed.
"It's not fair! It was for me and you added your prostitute and her little bitch to it! I hate them and I hate the whore's sons! That's why I locked her in the closet and why I framed Patricia for stealing the gem!" She yelled. I took a minute for it to sink in. She turned bright red. "I didn't mean that!" She tried. I am pissed. Patricia's right.
"Unbelieveable! You're grounded and cut off!" I said.
"What do you mean cut off?" She asked.
"You aren't aloud to buy anything. You have no more money." I said.
"C-c-cut o-o-of-f-f?" She stuttered.
'Give me your credit cards." I said.
"Daddy please!" She begged with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Give them or I will also take you out of line for the throne." I said.
"But then who would it go to?" She asked.
"Jason." I said.
"Daddy." She whined. She was full blow crying now.
"Asia." I warned. She whimpered and got out of bed. She used her crutches and went over to her new purse. She whimpered again then handed it over to me. She crawled back into bed.
"Are you happy?" She asked.
"No. But this will do. You're grounded for two weeks. Goodnight." I said leaving then shut off her lights.
I've never been strict with her.
