Erica's POV
I heard a footsteps coming from the entrance at the same time I saw a smile forming on aunt Corey face and as I turn around to see why she was smiling and boomed....what I saw was like a dream, an angel in human form.....
He was super handsome, I mean his features are like model he would be probably 6'2 with his black jet hair that matches well with his green eyes and his light skin tone. And the clothes he is wearing really look dam hot on him. I wish that he is my so called husband, oh God!!!
I was just staring at him until uncle Robert called that handsome man, "Richard, good you came at right time".
Wait !!did uncle Robert called Richard, Richard Winkelman his only son ,my so called husband. Oh thank you God, you answered my prayer which I had been praying for last week.
"Hey dad, why did you call me up? Need any help," he asked, then his eyes fell on me. He was observing me from head to toe.
Then he said, "Mom, who is she?? A new maid?”
Maid!!!
My mouth went wide open ,when he called me a maid. Do I look like a maid, you????
"No Richard, she is not a maid ,she is someone special to us and especially to you" aunt Corey replied.
And when uncle Robert was about to say something his phone rang and he went outside to attend his call.
"Richard meet Erica your wife and Erica ,he is Richard your hus..." aunt Corey was cut off in between when Richard said "What??? she is what".
"Your wife," she answered happily.
But then Richard doesn't seems happy to see me and he said "no way mom ,she can't be".
"What do you mean ??" Aunt Corey asked now in a seriousness manner .
"I mean look at her ,she is so outdated the way she present herself and above all she look like a granny "he said looking at me.
Granny!! really!!
"I don't really think I can cope up with her by the way she look like this OUTDATED "he stated emphasis on the word outdated.
What the hell, outdated oh gosh!!!please we only met just now and you are judging me without even trying to know who I really am???
He is such a bastard.
How am I going to live with this man ???God help me!!
"Mmmm yes whosoever you are ,you can stay here for as much as you want but we really can't be together get that in your thick outdated head and stay out of my way, "he said with a smirk.
Outdated!!! again ,I am not going to hold it back this time, "you too mr. whosoever you are, I don't want to be with you either, so stay out of my way as well," I replied him back angrily.
"Whatever" he said and walk away.
I watch him walk up the stairs and finally he went inside a room.
"Rich....ard or whatever" I said angrily.
Mama, papa, how am I going to stay with him, he such an a*s, full of himself and what does he think of himself, gosh???
Outdated !!!!
Erica's POV"Erica, don't mind his words; oh yes, why don't we go to your room? You know, I myself decorated it," she stated, trying to lighten up the tense mood."My room," I said in confusion."What's that confusion look for? Oh, don't tell me you were thinking that you were going to stay with Richard," Aunt asked teasingly."N-no, aunt, no, aunt what made you think of that? I Just thought of that...." I tried to say something but kept on stammering.Actually, aunt read my face. I was thinking that we might stay in one room, but I felt relief when aunt informed me that we aren't going to stay in a room together because what he called me earlier and what had happened, his word is still running through my nerves. To think about it, I never in my life got frustrated, but I don't know what is really happening to me. I felt like when my so-called husband or already-husband said those things about me, my blood got boiled up.Outdated my foot, how dare he call me that my fashion sense is n
Erica's POVToday, my new independent life began: no more threatening, no more physical abuse, no more being scared of stepping outside. Now I am "freeeeeee, woooow, yeaaaah, I am independent," I said while jumping on my bed.I was so lost in my own world until I felt a pain on my back. As I turned around to see what hit me, I saw my hair brush on my bed, and it was thrown by none other than Richard. That bastard was standing in front of my door with his arm crossed over his chest."Why did you hit me?" I asked, rubbing my back."Shut your annoying girly mouth; I can't sleep because of your ugly voice," he stated."What do you mean by that? And it's already morning, so it's my wish I can do anything, and hey, who are you to shut me up?" I asked."I am the owner's son, I mean, the next owner of this house..." he said."You are only the next, not the present, so I don't need to listen to you," I replied to him."What? You won't what?" he asked with anger in his tone."I said I wouldn't
Erica's POV~~~I stood firm at my place as I began to think what should I do ,now. I was feeling scared and uneasy from inside but my inner self on the other side told me that I shouldn't give in to them even if they are my senior ,I should never show my weakness nor fear towards them,so I manage myself and raise my head up to face them."I am not going to sleep nor be your slaves,why don't you go and pick someone else ,whom you guys think is capable of doing your work but not me,"I glare at each of them before continuing,"and don't you guys ever threaten me,now please excuse me ,I have class to attend "I state sternly and push pass them and went away for my class.I made my way to my class and there, I meet a girl name Emma,she is a tomboy ,sit like a boy ,dress like a boy and everything like a boy but she is good to hang out.
