Jobless

My ex-boyfriend was a gambler.

He was a cheater and abused me verbally and emotionally.

I bought my first car when I was twenty. Worked my ass off so I could get an old car. He lost it gambling.

On that day, a drunk Kevin came to my job and went nuts.

He started screaming and insulting me, telling me how was my fault he lost my car in the game. How I turned his life miserable and what a huge slut I was to be serving men on a little bar near a high road.

It was the first time he tried to lay a finger on me.

My boss and some clients had to intervene. They called the cops on him and he fled before the police got there.

He never got caught and never tried contact with me after that.

We lived in a small town and I was so scared thinking he could find me anywhere that I just, handled my boss the resign letter, packed the little I had and moved to a bigger city without saying a word to anyone.

I was born and raised in that small town and never had the chance to know other places.

I was just mesmerized by the lights, the huge buildings, the stylish clothes. Everything was just so new and exciting that I never thought about the dangers.

On my first attempt to get to the house I was renting a room, a thug runned me over and stole my bag.

With little luck, my phone and my wallet were in my pocket so he got nothing of great value.

Getting in the house, Mikayla, a nice girl from Russia welcomed me. She showed my room and told me how things worked in that place. Later, she helped me find a job.

She worked at Montgomery Corporation as the CEO’s secretary. The were offering jobs at multiple departments but they favored who had experience, which I didn’t.

“It would be so nice if you got a job there! We could go to work together!”

“I don’t have any experience or qualifications to apply for a position like secretary or other. I was serving food and doing dishes in my last job…”

“Ok, so what they ask for experience or degrees? Just apply, no is guaranteed so, you have nothing to lose!” She was so enthusiastic, I felt bad for her. High expectations always kill us in the end.

“I’ll lose time and money to get there.”

“Not if you get the job. Just apply and see what happens.”

She was so persistent and I needed a job, so maybe she was right.

I applied an all I had to do was waiting.

I didn’t stood just by that application tho, I was throwing applications to every single offer I found online.

One week later I got a reply from Montgomery Corporation.

I tried to dress up by the wisdom and good sense of style of Mikayla and I was stunning.

My hair was pulled up in a classic bun and my new friend made my makeup like a pro. Mikayla borrowed me a classic black dress and shoes, since my type of clothing was more the comfy type.

I was optimistic.

Getting there, security asked for my ID. No one could get in without being identified and inspected. And I would find later, they would inspect every person coming out also.

The first thought that crossed my mind was: how insecure someone must be to go so far on security measures but then, a huge Corporation as Montgomery’s with great projects as they provided to the world of technology must have a lot of secret businesses so they could always be ahead the competition.

As I got through the identification process, I was told to wait on a waiting room with other candidates.

There were so many people in the room I started to feel claustrophobic. Not because the space wasn’t enough, the room was spacious and well decorated with fancy furniture, but because all of them appeared to be really qualified. More than me, at least.

A group of people were interacting and their manners were way too polished.

They were elegant, the talking was about the latest project released by the Corporation which I knew nothing about. That’s when I realized I was not prepared to the job interview.

I was at the edge of giving up when a lady in a beige dress came in and greeted us.

She had a tablet in hand and was explaining how the interview would be.

We would be calling in groups of five to talk a little about our life and job experiences and expectations about the future if we were to be admitted.

My anxiety reached its peak when I was called to be part of the first group. I so much wanted to die there but I didn’t, so observing the rest of my group, I just followed the lead.

  • Give me your hand    How did I get this far?

    The interview would take place in a meeting room. There was a big squared table at the center with a file in front of each seat. Since there wasn’t no names identifying seats, I picked a chair near the window as the other candidates were getting to their seats. We would be interviewed by the CEO himself and three department directors, the ones needing employees. The positions at stake were management assistant, Marketing Coordinator, Sales assistant, financial advisor and engineering consultant. They would put the people that applied for the same position in a group so they could analyze who had the better profile to do the job. So, the interview with this group would be about the management assistant, the position I applied for. The worst thing ever is when people with great backgrounds get to talk first. The CEO, Dylan Montgomery, was sitting at one end of the table and instead of listening to candidates while they talked about their experience, he would just look out the win

  • Give me your hand    Marry who?

    I’ve frozen in place as soon I stepped out of the cab and looked up. Saint Mary Hotel was a freaking castle. I manage to climb the stairs with trembling knees. Fear winning over me. At the entrance, a host drove me to the restaurant where Mr Montgomery was waiting. How the hell did the host know who I was, had no fucking idea. “Sit.” Mr Montgomery ordered coldly. “Good morning, sir” I try showing him how to greet someone. “Read this” he slides a paper across the table with marriage contract in capital bold letters. “What is this?” I ask, trying to convey my disbelief in this awkward situation. “Are you capable of reading, Miss Moore?” This bastard… “I am capable, indeed, but as you must acknowledge, this is not a very common situation, is it? Perhaps, marriage contracts are something you do as a regular habit?” I’m definitely pissed. Why do rich people look down on others? He smiles, a cute dimple showing. “I was wondering if an apparently innocent little girl from a sma

  • Give me your hand    I fucking do.

    I felt numb. Everyone around us were excited to hear me saying yes. I was doomed, for sure. My life ended from this moment on. I wanted a quiet life and successful life, far away from the eyes of others. I had my share of a shitty life back in my hometown, having an awful childhood and bad romantic relationships along the way to adulthood. It seems I have a bad luck with men so I wanted to keep distance from them in this town. For a moment, I contemplated murder.“Say yes!” Someone shouted and the others followed. “Say yes, say yes!” I felt the pressure in my bones, they were singing in my ears and I gave up. “Yes.” My voice sounded lower than usual. “Louder!” Someone asked. “I SAID FUCKING YES!” I snapped and Mr Montgomery put the ring on my finger before stand standing up. Then, pulled me into his arms and brought his mouth near my ear. “Now, put a smile on your face, this is the happiest day of your life besides our wedding day. I’ll hold your hand and bring you out. I’l

  • Give me your hand    On the merry go around

    The day after I signed the contract, Mr Montgomery himself came to help me move early in the morning. Our faces were all over the news and I didn’t want to be seen with him anytime soon. I insisted he didn’t need to since I just had a backpack but he didn’t believe me. I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to Mikayla before leaving. She was at work so I sent her a message. I wished I could be friends with her since she helped me so much. “You only have this?” He asked grabbing the backpack “you could just go without it”“Don’t look down on me, all I had was stolen the first day I arrived in town and I didn’t have enough money to spend on a whole bunch of new clothes, so… whatever! Give me that!” I tried to take it from his hand but couldn’t succeed. “In that case, we won’t be going home yet”We got into the car and we went to a fancy clothing store where all they have were luxury brands. Whenever I touched something, I would search for the price tag. A simple skirt would cost

  • Give me your hand    Happy never after

    On the wedding day, things went very wrong from the start. His mother was an arrogant person trying to diminishing me regarding my origins. Because that scene at Saint Mary Hotel was all on the news, media started digging into my life and spreading all kinds of stories. “I don’t understand how my son, a successful man, would marry an unknown woman. He had always been with actresses, singers and models. Women who had a name.” She said as Mrs Marble helped me get into the dress. Mrs Marble shook her head slightly as she looked at me. Maybe my face reflected how bloodthirsty I was. I kept my mouth shut in order to end this conversation faster but the shitty lady wouldn’t allow. “Sorry, but I just can stay here watching my son as he destroy his life, his reputation” she said, sitting comfortably on the armchair in my room, not moving a finger. “It’s not personal, I hope you understand what my worries are, I need to get him out of this” “Please, do it, Mrs Montgomery.

  • Give me your hand    Breaking the Ice

    As soon as his lips touched mine, I felt every muscle in my body stiffen. He deepened the kiss, running his tongue through my mouth with a ravenous rhythm. Without breaking the kiss, he lift me up and lead my legs around his waist. We hear the dress rip along the sides of both my legs but we couldn’t care less. Before I could think of it, I felt my back touching the bed as he positioned himself between my tights without breaking the kiss. A wave of pleasure starts to build at my center as i feel his hardness. He moved slightly and a growl escaped him. I tried my best to fight a moan as he grabbed my ass with both hands, pressing me with his body against the mattress. I didn’t sucede, I mut say. One of his hand reach my underwear putting it aside as a finger slipped into my wetness. “Oh… god” my waist started moving on its own at the rythm set by his hand. His other hand traveled to my chest, uncovering my breast. A second finger found its way inside me as he closed his mouth ar
