Falling For The Girl I Bullied
Chapter 179

Violet’s P.O.V.

“You don’t have to worry about anything, honey. Mr. Westfield we can request a restrained order against Mr. Carter and his daughter, and they will not bother you again,” Dad said in a calm but concerned tone. I smiled and squeezed Kyle’s fingers into my grip. “I am not worried or scared, Dad. I know that I don’t need to be worried or scared when you all are here for me. It…. It’s just that…. That I don’t want anyone lurking around me. I can’t live my whole life in fear that someone will come for me out of the blue,” I replied to him truthfully.

Kyle’s grip on my shoulder tightened immediately. I knew that he was also worried for me. “There is no way that I will let any come near to you with bad intentions,” Dad gritted his teeth, and I felt the warmth of his love and care in my chest. “Thanks, Dad…. But I insist. Let’s finish this,” I said in a calm tone. He was about to say something when Mom put her hand on his hand on his lap. “She is right, Alex. This has to end, and she has to face it on her own. Look at the bigger picture. It will make her conquer her fears. We are also here for her,” Mom said, supporting me, and I looked at her with gratitude. Dad looked at her helplessly this time.

“I also felt the same, Alex. This has to end, and only Violet can end this,” Mrs. Knight also supported me in a calm tone. There was silence in the room as no one said a word again. I lowered my eyes and looked at my fingers intertwined with Kyle’s fingers on my lap. Everyone came back an hour ago in the afternoon. Noah, David, Dustin, Justin, Rein, and Axel stayed with us last night. Both I and mom asked them to go but they insisted on staying until Ethan and Kyle came back. It was futile to usher them. So, they stayed back.

I stayed in mom’s room as she insisted, and I was glad that she was with me. I had my nightmare last night, but she took care of me, and made me sleep a dreamless sleep for the rest of the night. I was tired of living like this, under the shadow of fear. I had to face so many difficulties in the future, and being timid and a fearful soul was not going to help me then. So, it was time to face my demons.

“What are you thinking, Princess,” I heard Ethan asking me in a worried tone. I looked at him with a small smile on my lips. “Nothing. I am sorry that I once again made you worry for me,” I answered him and apologized also. He frowned and flicked on my forehead, making me frown. I rubbed the place where he hit me. “Why did you hit me?” I asked him in an angry tone. “Why did you say sorry to me?” he fired the question immediately in an angry tone. I shot daggers at him through my eyes and he did the same.

“You two…. Calm down,” Mom scolded us, making us look in the other direction. My gaze met Kyle, who had an amusing smile on his lips right now. I blushed and lowered my eyes. “Okay… it’s settled then. Mr. Westfield will reach here by 8 in the evening. Let’s have a short meeting with him after dinner, and explain everything that happened. I am sure that he will help you in yesterday’s attack too,” Dad said in a calm tone this time, and we all nodded in agreement. “Okay… then… we will take our leave. We have somewhere to go,” Mr. Knight said this time, and both Mr. and Mrs. Knight stood up together.

I also stood up with both Ethan and Kyle. The boys returned home after everyone came back. “Where are you going?” Kyle asked them in confusion. I raised my brows in surprise when I saw a light blush on Mrs. Knight’s face. Mr. Knight cleared his throat and looked at us calmly. “We have planned a date today,” he said and I gasped in shock. I was not alone, though, as everyone was shocked. “What? We are not that old,” Mr. Knight said again while looking at us angrily. Dad chuckled and wrapped his hand around Mom’s shoulder.

“You are right, Sebastian. We are not so old that we can’t have a date with the person whom we love the most,” Dad said while looking at Mom lovingly, who blushed harder too. Ethan g*****d and looked at us. “Let’s go… I am still single, and I don’t want to witness their love for each other,” he ushered us while pushing me towards Kyle. “Yeah…. I also have something to discuss with Violet,” Kyle said in an awkward tone, and before our parents could say anything, we almost fled from there. “That was really awkward,” I exclaimed when we entered my room. Both Kyle and Ethan were behind me.

“Yeah… but I am still having a hard time believing that my parents…. My workaholic parents… are actually going on a date,” Kyle exclaimed in shock, making me look at him with a smile. I went straight to my bed, and sat down while resting my back on the headrest behind me. Kyle also sat down near me, and Ethan lay down near my feet vertically. “I have something to say,” I said in a calm tone, and both of them looked at me questioningly. Kyle wrapped his hand around my shoulder.

“I am transferring the money back to you guys that you gave me last night,” I told them in a calm tone. “Why?” both of them asked me in unison. I sighed and tilted my head a little. “I received 70 million dollars in told yesterday night. Dad also sent me fifty million,” I told them and their eyes widened in surprise. “Dad also sent you the money?” Ethan asked me in a surprised tone, and I nodded. “You know that I am not short of money, and if I want to buy something for myself, I can buy it on my own. I… I can’t say anything to Dad because he is now my father, and he gave that money to his daughter as a token of his love towards me. But,” I paused after explaining to them why I couldn’t return the money to Dad.

“You mean to say that his money is a token of his love, but our money is nothing but a piece of paper, huh?” Kyle asked me in an annoying tone, and I snapped my head towards him in shock. Was he real? He was jealous of Mr. Parker’s love towards me. He was now my father. “Yeah.. he can show his love as he pleases, but if we did the same thing, that it’s a burden for you?” Ethan also said in an annoying tone, making me look between them helplessly. I didn’t know what to say right now. “That’s the money that we have earned through hard work. So, we are also free to use it as we please,” Kyle continued in the same tone, and I slumped in his embrace in defeat.

“You broke my heart, Violet,” Ethan faked sadness, and I just stared at him helplessly. My brother was a drama queen that I knew but he proved my opinion about him right. “Why do you think that I am still working so hard, huh?” Kyle asked me in the same tone, and I lowered my eyes. “You made me feel that all my efforts are in vain,” he continued, and I closed my eyes. I was now feeling a headache. “Okay… okay… stopping putting on a show… I am not returning anything to you two,” I said in defeat, and their expressions immediately changed. Both of them grinned from ear to ear, making me glare at them hard this time.

I decided to buy something nice for them later with that money. “Wait,” suddenly Kyle yelled and knitted his brows on me, making me raise my brows in confusion. “If…. If you still have all the money with you then how did you buy those jewellery sets for you?” he asked me in a suspicious tone. “Yeah… he is right. Did you use all your savings?” Ethan questioned me right after Kyle. I pursed my lips into a thin line while looking at them, blinking hard. They would come to know sooner or later. So, it would be better if I told them instead of anyone else.

“Noah, and David bought a set each for me, and all the boys bought the third set by contribution,” I told them truthfully. Their expressions changed in shock, and they just stared at me while blinking hard. I gave them time to process what I said. “Can you tell me how much they spent on you?” Kyle asked me in a cold tone this time. I sighed and looked at him with a calm gaze. “You accepted what they bought for you, but you can’t accept the money that we gave you to spend, huh?” Ethan also accused me in an annoying tone. I g*****d in frustration and balled up my fists. “Do you think that I accepted those sets easily?” I asked Ethan in an angry tone.

He opened his mouth but closed it immediately while jerking his head lightly. “Forget it… I am not going to explain anything to you guys,” I said in a frustrated tone, and removed Kyle’s hand from my shoulder. I didn’t want to be with him in space for now. “Hey,” Kyle protested, but I didn’t pay attention to him, and almost jumped off the bed on the other side. “Violet,” Ethan yelled, but I stormed towards the door. I had enough of their whining. Before I reached the door, Kyle wrapped his hands around my chest from behind, making me stop in my tracks. “I am sorry,” he whispered when I was about to remove his hands forcefully.

I scoffed and tried to break off his grip on my chest but he tightened his grip on me. At the same time, Ethan’s phone started ringing. “I will be back… don’t let her go anywhere,” he almost ran out of the room while instructing Kyle. “Let me go, Kyle,” I demanded when I couldn’t break his grip. “I won’t,” he whispered again while hiding his face in the crook of my neck from behind. I sighed and stopped struggling. I knew that I couldn’t break free because of the difference between our strengths. “You know very well why I am still doing work, right?” he asked me after some time in a very low tone.

I sighed but nodded in agreement. “I can’t share you with anyone, love,” he whispered, still holding me tightly in his embrace. “Do you think an expensive set of jewellery can make me love anyone else?” I asked him in a low tone. I didn’t know why I was feeling hurt now. He slowly loosened his grip on me and lifted his head up. He moved me towards him and kissed my forehead. “I know that you are not a materialistic girl, princess, and I trust you with all my heart. I.. I am just insecure due to our pasts,” he said in a calm tone, but I could feel insecurity in his voice.

I tilted my head a little while listening to him. I had tears in my eyes. “Do you think that I will accept you if I haven’t moved on from my pasts, huh?” I asked him in a cracked tone this time. He immediately pulled me in his embrace and cupped my face while wrapping his other hand around my waist. “I know… I know… that you accepted me without keeping any grudge against me… but,” he paused and took a deep breath.

“I love you so much, and I can’t express how important you are to me, love. You were the only person after my friends who had this faith in me that I could do anything on my own without taking any help from anyone. You came into my life when I was homeless and penniless. You accepted me into your life without any conditions. You …. You supported me when I was in dire need of help without asking me anything in return. Your love for me is always pure, and innocent. I am insecure because you are what every boy needs as his love interest. It’s not like I don’t trust you, but I don’t trust my own luck. The thing that scared me the most is you leaving me,” he paused when his voice cracked in the end.

I listened to him without interrupting him, and my grip on his shirt tightened when his voice cracked at the end. “If you think that I will break up with you just because we had the worst past together, then you still don’t trust me with your whole heart, Kyle. I can understand your insecurity, but you have to trust me too,” I said in a calm tone, keeping my gaze locked with him. I knew that he was still insecure about our relationship, but he had to understand that I am not someone who jumps from one relationship to another casually.
