His mom’s hatred

What type of mother was she? All she was bothered about was breakfast rather than the well being of her child? It was weird and crazy but it wasn’t my business anyway. All that mattered was for me to find my way out of the mess I had gotten into. 

 

Just like she instructed, I completed the cooking and served the meal. I was beyond irritated to see my 'sister-in-law', giggling as she stared at her phone, probably waiting for me to serve her breakfast. 

To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I was disgusted at the fact that she sat there and didn’t attempt to help with any chore. 

 

“Hurry! I am starving!” She yelled at me, still not taking her gaze off her phone. Poor Kelan! Perhaps, that was why he had never woken up. He had one hell of a bunch of useless family. I hated them all. 

 

“You heard me quite alright, didn’t you?” She questioned, this time, staring at me. Her brows curved inward. Her mother on the other hand was quiet as her eyes were glued to her phone. What was so important anyway?

 

Letting out a sigh, I began to serve the food. Trading words with her would not make me feel better anyway. 

 

“Hey! Thread carefully!” She yelled at me once again. I let out a sigh and shook my head. No matter how hard she tried, I was going to keep my cool. I was quiet as she ordered me to serve even more for her. “Being disrespectful and rude is a sin, you know?” Her upper lips curved into a smile. Mockery was evident on her face. 

 

“And so is gluttony but look at you.” I rolled my eyes and smirked. Her eyes reddened with anger as she watched me walk away. 

 

“I will have my breakfast in my room.” I informed them before walking away. 

 

“Have you paid your husband a visit this morning?” Kelan's mother asked and looked up at me, bringing me to an halt immediately. “If you couldn’t spend the night with your husband, it is at least fair enough that you pay him a visit.” 

 

Why wouldn’t she just let me be? Why was she so hell-bent on making my life miserable? 

 

Not wanting to argue with her, I nodded and walked away, away to his room. A sigh escaped my lips as I looked at him. Was I really going to have to clean him up and do his laundries?

 

“Why can’t they just hire a help?” 

 

I was furious but I decided to have my meal. I hadn’t eaten throughout the previous day hence I was starving. It was however better to be with the semi lifeless man than to spend another second with them. They disgusted me so much . 

 

Just then, my phone beeped. 

 

[Hey beautiful, let’s meet up tonight at my house.] 

 

My brows furrowed as a gazillion negative thoughts crossed my mind all at the same time. I had to take a deep breath before picking up my phone.  I was quite skeptical if to accept the offer or not. I was worried he could be up to something mischievous. What if their plan is  to kill me or destroy me? What if they intend to reveal their wicked heart to me?

 

I let out a sigh and held my dress so tight. I immediately lost my appetite and left my meal again. I buried my head in my palms. Why was all this happening to me? 

 

“You are the only one who can help me.” I directed my words to the semi lifeless body. Or maybe not. What if he was only going to make things worse and even more complicated for me? 

 

Not knowing what to do, I stood up and began to clean him up as instructed. It was so difficult but it was a way to get myself out of the mess. It was one way to forget about everything that had happened. As soon as I was done, I returned to my room. I had taken my meal along with me to my room as I was quite hungry. 

 

Afterwards, I returned the plates to the kitchen. Everywhere was messed up and littered with several unwashed dishes. I was quite upset seeing the mess they had made. 

 

“You should clean up the dishes quickly. This place doesn’t look so good.” My sister-in-law spoke with a grin on her face. 

 

“It wouldn’t hurt if you do the dishes as well.” I retorted. 

 

“I am not my brother’s wife.  I am his sister, your husband’s sister in law hence it is not my duty to clean up anywhere.  It is yours. We feed you and cloth you.  Make yourself useful.” She chuckled and walked out of the kitchen. Her confidence was on another level. What on earth is wrong with her? 

 

Left with no choice, I did as expected. She was right after all. They fed me and clothed me but I wasn’t without family.

 

I was a little worried about the message Jason had sent but I decided to place a call to him. 

 

“Hey…” I spoke and smiled widely. “I am sorry I haven’t spoken to you in a while. I have been quite busy and..

 

“Too busy for me?” He replied lividly. I was even more upset at him. Why was he acting so childish and pretending to be upset just to pretend like he cares? Of course, I was certain he was satisfied by our lack of communication or perhaps, upset that I disturbed him. 

 

“It wouldn’t hurt if you had placed a call to me as well. You didn’t send a message today either. How about that? I should be upset with you as well.” 

 

“Are you trying to justify your actions? Are you trying to…. “ He let out a sigh. 

 

“I have your whole family to tend to and you know your mom and your sister is an handful.” I responded and rolled my eyes. 

I expected something different, probably more annoying, but his next words took me by surprise.
