First Contract Is Off!

"Good evening, sorry I'm late. I was busy" Michelle said, entering Trevor's car.

"It's fine. Let's get you all set up. My parents must be getting everything ready" he replied, smiling.

"Hmm" was her only response. His assistant started the car and they drove off.

They went to the mall again. This time, he entered to pick a dress for her.

"My parents love red. I also love red" he said.

"Okay" she replied. She started looking for a red dress.

"You know, the dress you wore the other day looked great on you " he said.

Michelle didn't say a word. She was still thinking about Francis and how he betrayed her.

"Hey, Rose!" He snapped at her. She shrieked.

"I'm sorry. I'm not feeling too well" she said, throwing her hair to the back.

"Do you want me to cancel the dinner?" He asked.

"No, it's fine. I'll wear this" she picked any dress and walked away. Few minutes later, she was ready. She wore a natural make up. Her shoe and bag was silver. She was looking hot and decent.

"You look beautiful" he said.

"Thanks, shall we?" She said and hurriedly entered the car.

They drove to the Stonefield mansion. She was shocked to see herself there. She was never expecting to come here on any occasion.

"Remember, be natural. Just flow with what I said" he said. Michelle nodded her head.

He smiled and placed his hand on her laps. Michelle moved away from him, feeling uncomfortable with the way he touched her.

"Let's go" she said. The butler helped Michelle out of the car.

"It's nice to see you ma'am" he said. The maids around the house watched from different corners. They haven't seen Trevor with a lady before.

"Thank you" Michelle said to the man.

"Please, come in" Trevor said.

They walked in. The house was already decorated. Michelle was surprised that they did this for her.

"Oh, my future daughter in law is here!" Mrs Stonefield said and ran to hug her.

"She's blessed with so much beauty" Mr Stonefield added.

"Thank you so much" she blushed.

"Mom, dad, Rose is hungry. Let's eat now" Trevor said.

"Ah, come this way" she said, walking with Michelle.

They sat down and ate. Michelle didn't like the way they were all looking at her. They even call her daughter in law.

"So, tell me. What do you do? Don't be shy, tell me"

"I don't have much doing, I work in a restaurant" she said.

"I guess Trevor ate in the restaurant and fell in love with you" Mrs Stonefield asked and they all laughed.

"Just like in the movies" her husband added.

"I don't care if you're poor or rich, if my son love you, we all love you" she said.

Michelle turned to stare at Trevor. She wasn't taking this. They were considering her as their daughter in law.

"Rose seems full already. I'll take her around the house mom. Excuse us" he said.

"I'll be back" she added.

"Of course, take your time son"

They both chuckled as Michelle and Trevor left the table. They walked around the house, in silence.

She didn't know what to say to him.

They got to the living room on the third floor. It was close to the balcony. They sat down and stared at the sky.

"I've spent four hours already" she said.

"You wish to leave already?" He asked.

"I'll just stay an hour more, then I'll leave. You should really tell your parent about us"

"What about us?" He asked.

"You know.... This thing between you and I isn't real...." She tried to explain. He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to himself, kissing her hard. He locked lips with her, making sure the kids was deep.

It happened unexpectedly, leaving Michelle shocked. She immediately pushed him and slapped him. Her heart pounding hard.

"Rose, I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I can explain"

"What's with men and explaining? Don't fucking come close to me. You kissed me, this contract is officially over" she said and turned to leave. He ran after her. She rushed down the stairs, not listening to him.

"Rose, come on. Hear me out" he said. She didn't stop. She head to the dinning table and grabbed her purse.

"Oh my dear, you're back. Let's talk about my son and...."

"Not now Mrs Stonefield. I can't be with your son. I'm sorry" she said and left with her purse.

"What? Rose. Trevor, go after her" Mrs Stonefield said. She grabbed her chest and sat down. Her husband helped her.

Michelle got to the compound, she didn't know if she should enter the car or find her way home.

Trevor grabbed her hand from behind and pulled her.

"I'm sorry. Please, stay. I thought we could be something, that's why I kissed you. I wanted to propose to you" he said. She scoffed and rubbed the entrance of her nose.

"Propose? Do you even know anything about me? Do you know my real name? You wish to marry me. I'm sorry Trevor, I can't get married to you" she said.

Trevor watched as she entered the car. He signalled his assistant to take her home. He bowed and drove her off. He sighed deeply. As the car drove off, his parents rushed out.

"Rose? Why did she leave?"

"I don't know mom, it's fine"

"I want rose back. She's beautiful and nice"

"Take her inside dad.." Trevor said and walked away.

.

.

Few hours later, they got home. Trevor's assistant sent her money for the day.

"Thank you" she said and was about to go down when he stopped her.

"My boss really love you ma'am. Whatever happened between you two, I'm sure it's a misunderstanding" he said.

"I'm sorry. The contract has been cancelled the moment your boss kissed me. I'm sure you know that all of this is fake. Take care of Trevor. It's nice knowing him" she said and alight from the car. He drove off and she entered the house.

.

.

Francis was waiting for her since. The kids were already asleep. He stood up immediately she walked in.

"Hey" he said.

"Hi" was her response.

"It's almost midnight" he said. She didn't even notice. She sighed and sat down on the chair.

"How was today?" He asked.

"I know you want to ask about the money. I'm not giving it to you. I need to buy new stuff for the kids and repair the house"

Francis nodded his head. He was indeed after the money but, because of what he did today, he can't talk back at her. He just changed his expression.

"I'm not after the money, I'm concerned about you" he lied. She smirked.

"The contract between Trevor and I is broken. He kissed me, and according to the code of conduct. Touching is not allowed unless the two parties agree"

"You can't break the contract. Where would you get more money? How do we survive?"

"We go back to how things were!" She said and sprung up. He watched her leave.

He angrily kicked the chair and frowned.

"That bitch..." He murmured.

.

The next morning, Michelle took the kids to school. She watched as the other kids teased them after what happened today.

She watched them alight from their cars.

"Mummy, everyone is laughing at us" she said.

She squatted to their level and touched their hair.

"What did mummy always tell you?" She asked.

"Be strong and don't let anyone step on you" they chorused.

"If anyone tries to step on you?" She asked.

"Punch them right on their face" Chloe said.

"What if the teacher punish us for punching them?" Kelly asked.

"I'll be right there and I'll fight for you. Come on, go in there" she said. They ran into the school. Michelle stood up and went to the restaurant.

She entered and saw Rose who was worried about her. She left without saying a lot yesterday and didn't come back.

"Hey"

"Hey, I'm sorry for just leaving yesterday. Some crazy shit happened and..."

"I covered for you yesterday and kept your salary"

"Thank you Rose. I'm really sorry"

"It's fine. Just tell me why you left. You have kids? What the fuck?"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. It's a long story I never told anyone" she said.

Rose looked round. She went to the door and changed the sign from 'OPEN' to 'CLOSE'

"There's no customer yet. Tell me. Every Fucking Thing" she said.

She sighed.

.

.

Meanwhile, at school. The pupils sat down, waiting for their teacher.

The students started talking about how their class was so neat. Kelly and Chloe kept their cool, they knew where the students were heading.

"Of course, it's neat because Kelly and Chloe's mother cleaned it up. My mom said she's good at cleaning, because it's her job, right Chloe?"

The students started laughing.

Chloe folded her hands. She wanted to hit the boy but, Kelly stopped her sister.

"Don't touch them"

The boy stood up, together with his other classmates. They walked to Chloe's seat.

"Is it true? Your mom is fourteen years old?"

They all laughed again.

"Don't say anything about my mom!" Chloe said.

"Or what?" The boy pushed her.

She almost fell. Kelly caught her sister. She stepped forward and punched the boy right in the face. The whole students gasped and the class fell silent. The boy fell and his nose started bleeding.

"Kelly has hurt Matt!" Someone yelled. The whole class started panicking till the teacher rushed in.

She gasped.

"What happened?"

"Kelly hit him" a student reported.

The teacher grabbed Kelly by her collar.

"Come with me, your rat!" She growled.

.

.

Michelle was done telling everything to Rose. Rose couldn't believe that the daughter of the fourth richest man in the country was working right in this restaurant.

She was just speechless.

"You really have to keep everything a secret. Don't tell anyone!"

"I'm going to keep it a secret. You don't have to worry too much"

"I'm not worried. I just don't want any of my family to find me" she said.

"They won't find you. You're safe here!" Rose said, smiling at Michelle.

The door immediately threw wide open as someone walked in.

"Michelle?"

She called her name.

They both turned their head and gazed at the person at the door.

"Ginny?" Michelle called out.

"Uh uh..." Rose uttered.
