Michael moved his head to the side. He checked his phone if it was truly I that was talking. “Wendy Jerkins?”He called my name. I smiled, “Yes”. “Okay, I will call my dad and get back to you,”Michael replied and ended the call.

I looked at my stepmother and shrugged my shoulders, “I just called him and said he will get back to me after speaking with his dad”. Helen’s lips formed into a smile. “You should stay here till he calls back. What would you like to eat or drink?”. Helen tries to be nice towards me.

“I'm okay with what I ate,”I replied. I tried to stay strong, breaking in their presence means nothing to them. They are heartless and greedy. They are only after their own happiness.

Michael phoned his secretary, Laila. “Hello Laila, tell anyone who wants to see me that I am busy. I will be busy for half an hour”. Laila replied, “Yes sir”. She ends the call.

I changed my dress and picked two extra clothes for myself. I planned to spend the night at Valerie’s house after the process.I moved outside. My stepmother and her daughter were standing outside. Waiting for me to leave the house. I appeared, “why are you both here?”. I asked their prying eyes.

They are all used to his proud talks within their few hours stay. I kept mute and watched him speak anyhow.My stepmother or her daughter didn’t bother to check on me to ask how all is going.

Or, do I say "is it the first time I am making life with you?”.Coyly, I answered, “No, I was just tired and needed rest. Since the doctor had inserted the injection. I need to get some rest”.
