He had long dreamed of her nightmares and she jumped up in the middle of the night with a cry. A couple of times she saw him from behind, but that was during the day and she was not alone. And yet she always hurried away.

Years passed and gradually this nightmare was lost in her memory, among other important memories and vanity. So 5 years have passed. Liana found a better job and tried with all her strength to pull the family out of debt ... There were no serious relations or thoughts about marriage, and there were not too many urgent problems. She even had no time to show sympathy for someone. It was necessary to work, study and help at home. Liana for 5 years has grown up a bit, but still was considered low, remained the same fragile, only high breasts and round ass showed age. Liana was beautiful and if it were not for a bunch of problems, she would have easily noticed how the youngsters are drooling over it. She no longer saw the stranger and hoped that he would leave the city forever.

It was a clear warm summer day. Liana had the day off and in her several free hours, she went for a walk in the park. Having walked, she was hungry and cheerful returned home. Even from afar, she saw the silhouette of her father and some man near the house. Coming closer, the girl was numb ... her familiar sharp perfume beat her nose hard. It was he. He had his back to her and talked about something with her father.

- Oh, Liana. - Father said when he saw her. - come here, where have you been? Meet this is Ralph. I was acquainted with his father. - The old man struggled to seem cheerful and vigorous, but Liana was well aware of how tired he was of everything and what effort he now has for this game.

She looked up with fear and was convinced — yes, it was him.

Ralph smiled a good smile, but Liana saw a desire in her eyes. He almost did not change ... just as thin, tall. Yes, he matured and his features seemed to her to become even angrier. Liana could not utter a word.

“Hello,” he said cheerfully, “pretending that he did not recognize her and did not remember anything.” But no, he very well remembers her and that evening. And now he enjoyed this game.

Liana nodded and tried to hide behind the door of their old little house as soon as possible.

My father did not return for another 30 minutes, and Liana sat almost motionless the whole time.

After some time, having calmed down, she went out into the kitchen and saw that her father was very distressed by something.

- Dad what happened? Why did he come?

- His father gave him his business. Now he is a bailiff for taxes. The guy does not need this for a hundred years, he worked very well abroad, but he has to fulfill the last will of his father. His father is seriously ill.

- Do we have a lot? - Liana asked hopelessly.

- Lot. For the house, the light, the water ... most likely we will be evicted. - the father spoke with aloof as if not understanding the meaning of his words.

- What should we do?

“You will get married and live with your husband, and somehow I will figure it out.”

- What nonsense! - snorted Liana and went to her.

In the morning she was woken by an insistent knock on the door. She put a dressing gown over her pajamas and slowly walked to the door. Opening it instantly woke up. Ralph stood in front of her.

“Hi Liana,” he said sweetly. “Can I talk to your father?”

- He probably already left, but I'll see.

Looking into the room, she was convinced that her father was not at home. Her body was shaking.

- He is not, come in the evening. She said softly.

“What a pity,” said Ralph ironically, and his lips stretched into a well-known wicked smile. - Liaaana ... you have a beautiful name. - He unceremoniously looked at her.

Liana felt her gaze glide over her, but stood motionless on the threshold. He saw how scared she was, and that amused him.

“You've been prettier since our last meeting.”

- Can I go? Father is not. Come in the evening.

He smiled, exposing his white teeth.

- Go. See you.

She closed the door and only now understood how her heart was pounding.It was clear that he had conceived something and this did not bode well for her.

In the evening, the father did not come alone. Ralph came into the house with him. Liana went to her room as soon as she saw him in the doorway. What they talked about, she could not hear.

“I think I have found a way out of your difficult situation,” Ralph said slyly and smiled slightly.

- Which one? - in the voice of the father was hope.

- My father is in serious condition and he would very much like to see me before the death together with the girl who would later become my wife. He often tells me about it lately.

- So go on.

- I like your daughter. She is beautiful and not stupid. I promise to take care of her like the apple of my eye if everything goes well with her. I, in turn, repay all your debts and, if it comes to the wedding, I pay a very impressive ransom that will allow you to move from this house. Well, I will help take a well-paid position. Do not think that I’m brazenly buying your beautiful daughter, but I liked her even before I left, and we can quite well and succeed in becoming a couple. And you are unlikely to find her safer than me.

- But you are not familiar. What if she does not like you, with all due respect, she has a very bad temper in this regard. Said the father, but by his voice it was already clear that he agreed.

- It needs to be checked. In any case, it's worth a try, but it's up to you. I'll pick you up tomorrow night and if you agree let her things be packed. If not, then alas, I do not know how to help you yet. I asked my father and he said that it’s impossible to rig the papers or somehow destroy the debt, and I don’t want to get involved with the court. All the best. Till tomorrow.

Ralph is gone. Liana heard the door slam. A very cheerful father entered the room, which immediately alerted the girl.

- Daughter, you will have to leave tomorrow. Collect things. You have a great future. And do not ask questions, refusals and are not accepted at all.

- What? Where? I have to work tomorrow.

- Pff to work ... Now you do not need to work.

- Dad, what's going on? What did he promise you? Where are you sending me already ?! - Liana shouted indignantly.

- I told you, pack up things! Are you going to rot for life in this hole and poverty? Enough! I have already condemned your deceased mother to such a life, but I do not want you to live like that. Who do you find yourself in this backwater ?! Shoemaker ?! Collect things and be ready tomorrow evening. Everything will go well with you.

Liana began to cry. She did not understand what was happening, and her father did not want to speak normally. Where is she going? With whom? What for?

Liana obediently collected things. She understood that she needed to act on the situation and tried to control herself. Most of all she did not want to upset her father.

A car drove up to the house. Liana and her father were waiting in a small hallway. Liana could imagine everything, but only not that he came for her. Ralph went into the house. He immediately noticed the horror in her eyes and noted that it turns him on. He greeted his father. Liana said she needed to go outside. No one objected, especially since transferring money with her was ugly. Liana carefully closed the door of the gate and rushed into the woods near the house. She was not afraid to run into the forest late at night, much worse than she was to leave with this monster.

Ralph handed over papers confirming the repayment of all debts. And an envelope.

- This is to stand up. - he smiled. - Where is our princess?

Ralph with Liana's father went out into the yard. The father went around all the back streets of the yard, but he found his daughter.

- Strange, where could she go? Lianaaa, where are you? A young man is waiting for you. Do not let father.

Ralph immediately realized that she had run away.

- Apparently, she ran away. Probably you didn’t explain to her what's what.

- No, we talked yesterday. I just ... I didn't even ... I couldn't imagine ... She would be back - began to justify his father.

- Do not worry. I will find her. Just let no one else look for her. As soon as I find, I will inform you immediately. - with these ...
