Cooking in Mr. Robinson's house is more than easy, the cooking appliances, the well-stocked fridge. I don't remember the last time I made such a fancy meal.

The instant I'd opened the fridge, I was in a battle with myself on what to make. There was steak, chicken anď minced beef, with so much more. 

Going with the minced beef, I decide to make pasta, chili, and tomato sauce with meatballs with a recipe our nanny always used.

It's almost six and I'm near panicking as I carefully dish out the meal and set the table. After much contemplation, I grab some cheese and scrape some over the meatballs and sauce. 

As I stare at the meal, pleased with myself, the gate wheezes open and his black, sleek  Chevrolet Camaro drives in. 

I'm suddenly nervous as I hear the car door slam shut and I face the sink, determined to keep myself busy with cleaning up and avoid any contact with him whatsoever.

    The contract is more like a handbook of instructions but I read it anyway, I read it like I'm trying to pass a course...and in a way, I am.In a way, the contract seems unfair; the leverage it gives Mr. Robinson to ask, demand, and request, the way he can easily take up my free weekends, and how the contract can be orally changed if he pleases.I read on anyway and learn more things, like the fact he is allergic to peanuts, he hates colored cereal, and only eats pancakes on Wednesdays.It also stipulates that he would leave his weekly dirty laundry in a bag at my door every Friday and I must have it hanging at his door Sunday evening.The rest of the huge contract is filled with "Mays or May nots" for the maid.The maid May take the car to visit relatives.The maid May Not use any other car aside from the KIA, whether in an emergency or not.The maid May raise her con

    The look in his eyes threaten me silently, taunt me, abuse me, tease me, but most of all, mock me.'You finally took off the mask.'He knows.He knows the one big secret I had fought to hide, the one thing I had that he couldn't use to manipulate me.And somehow I feel like I'm in the same situation as in the club.He knows now.He has the power.He knows how weak I am, and how easily I fear his power.And worst of all...He knows that I know that I fear him, fear his power, fear his control.Now I have nothing against him."And you wore a wig, smart." He says with a chuckle, mocking me."And yet here you are again, at my beck and call. All that fuss, all that stubbornness, all that fight you put up and you still stand here...waiting for my command." He says in a quiet tone, with that evil tilt of his lip.

    Breathe, Marcy. Breathe.I try to remind myself as I race through the crowded street, barefooted."Marcy!" I can hear Maya call behind me but it just sounds like a fading echo."Marcy, wait up!"Wait up?Wait up?!How can she tell me to wait up? Ty is somewhere in a hospital probably unconscious and sterilized, the damn traffic won't move and she wants me to wait up?Oh, Tyler. Please be okay.Please, please, please.Be okay.I run past an open road with drivers honking and calling me a maniac.Maybe I am.But what does it matter?If I lose Ty.....I can't lose Ty.Oh, God. Please I can't lose him.The wind billowing past my ears block out everything and I can

    As I try to control the tears pouring from my eyes, I stare at the cheque Mr. Robinson gave me with mixed feelings.How could he treat me like this? How could he subject me to such treatment?Slowly, the memory of how I ended up in the position of being a stripper comes back to me...blinding me with regret.TWO YEARS AGO“I’m sorry, Miss Jensen. We’re looking for someone with a bit more experience than you have.”“Oh…okay.” I mutter, trying hard but failing to hide my disappointment as the man with a soothing voice on the phone slowly shatters my hope.“And although we were pleased with your characteristics and positive traits, we just couldn’t get ignore the fact that you don’t have a college degree yet.”“I understand.”“Expertise is a major requirement for the job&mdas

    ***“Alright, ladies listen up.” Fred says, walking into the dressing room behind the stripping stage, and we all turn to him.That’s right. We.Prospective strippers of the club… myself included.I’d eventually given Fred a call the moment I got home that day and he had told me I only have to make it through two stages to be hired… I had to impress him, and then impress his boss.Dan the bartender was right…the club is super exclusive and fancy.I had made it passed the first stage after I came here the first time and he asked me to do a strip tease with some poll tricks. Doing the tricks with the poll wasn’t hard at all. I knew I was flexible and I put it to good use, mimicking the tricks I had seen those other strippers do. But it was the strip tease that I had to muster every courage in me to perform and even though I was able to impr

I mutter and increase the pace on the treadmill, focusing on the loud music of my earphones and letting my memory go back.The day of her interview she had worn that knee-length flower dress, with the violet flower prints, bringing out her eyes.The first thing I'd noticed about her was her uncertainty. She was determined but unsure, hopeful but doubtful. The way she hesi

    He still has the same stance as before, eyes steady on me.Oh, what now?"It's my boss." I say to Ty, unable to draw my eyes from Mr. Robinson's capturing blue gaze.I don't move from my spot next to Tyler because I'm hoping Mr. Robinson will get the hint that I don't feel like being bullied again, especially in front of my brother.I watch as he walks into the room and stands on the other side of Tyler's bed."I'm sorry about your accident, Tyler. I just settled your hospital bills and if there is anything more I can do to help, let me know." Mr. Robinson says and I watch him bring out his card and stuff it under Ty's pillow.Ty turns to me wide-eyed and I can tell he is impressed which only makes me glare at Mr. Robinson."Um, I don't know what to say. Thanks, man." Ty says and my breath catches."No, Ty. H

    "It's not good.""It's not?""No, it's not. Sex in married life is great." Maya says and we both laugh."I see." I say and sip my coffee while Maya just bites her lip with a naughty glint in her eyes."I mean, before I had Hailey, we'd heard these scary stories about how we'd be too busy to want sex because I'm still in school and he just got promoted. And then I had Hailey. And everyone kept saying the baby would take up all our free time and I should keep a vibrator handy--""Oh, my God! Maya!" I scold playfully and swat her arm."Too much information." I whisper and she just rolls her eyes."What? It's true. Besides, I never had an opportunity to talk about this. So anyway, sometimes I'd still be putting Hailey to sleep when Josh gets back and we'd be both tired and I was scared, you know? I didn't want to be

    “What if everyone figures out why we invited them before they even make it?” I ask, laying out cutlery on the table and Kyle chuckles, carrying the huge turkey from the kitchen to the dining.“What’s there to figure out, Marcy? It’s our first thanksgiving as a married couple, and that’s all they’re going to have in mind before they get here—”“And see how fat I am.” I mutter and Kyle drops the turkey safely before coming to hold me from behind, his arms gently caressing the obvious bump in my tummy.“I don’t think Kyle Junior appreciates being called fat.” He whispers in my ear and I giggle, turning in his arms to face him.“I love you, but for the last time, we are not naming him Kyle Junior.” I say, my emphasis on the ‘not’ as I give him a pointed sta

    Marcy's POV "We are honored to call the valedictorian of class 2019, Tyler Jensen." The vice-chancellor calls out Tyler's name from the podium and I have to remind myself not to scream out of excitement as I watch Tyler climb the stage to get his degree and qualifying certificate along with a handshake. He finally did it, and valedictorian no less. After everything we've been through, if anyone ever told me we would eventually make it to this day.... and style would be graduating from college as valedictorian of his set, I would have laughed till I couldn't breathe. Maybe even cry. But here we are. "Is there anything you would like to say to your convoking class?" The Vice-Chancellor asks and Tyler nods, before taking the vacant podium. As I watch him, standing there in his robe and cap, a warm feeling envelops me and I realize I have never been more proud of anyone than I a

    The lemon and pink combo for Haley's birthday seemed to be the best idea.Her cute lemon princess gown with matching wings and crown was just breathtaking.In addition to the floating pink and lemon balloons and the pink and lemon frosted cake, it was by far one of the sweetest celebrations I had ever seen.As Josh carried a sleeping and exhausted Hailey inside, Maya and I stayed behind to clean up after the party."What's this?" Maya's voice draws me from my dazed dreamy state and I turn to her, trying to balance my armful of gifts.She is talking to a delivery guy while signing the paper and behind him is a big box, huge even, and completely wrapped in a pink wrapper."To the sweetest kid I know. Thank you for being one of the reasons that brought love into my house...and my heart. Love, Kyle." Maya reads out loud."Kyle..." I say

    "Marcella?"Maya's voice rings out followed by a series of knocks and I pause towel-drying my hair as I make my way to the living room in just a robe."Marcy!" She calls out, knocking again and I swing the door open."Oh my God, are you okay?" She asks as she rushes in and swallows me up in a tight hug."Umm..... it's nice to see you too Maya." I say tentatively as I pat her back in a confused way of returning the hug."What's going on?" I ask when the hug is over and Maya's sad eyes squint at me like I've grown two heads."You're asking me what's going on? Marcy a phone call to your best friend wouldn't hurt, you know." She says and I scoff."What are you talking about? We spoke last month on the phone." I say with a shrug and head back to my room with Maya hot on my heels."Exactly. Last month. When I call

    "Are you serious right now? This is why you called me here?" Maya asks as I observe the packet of frozen chicken thighs in my hand."Yup." I say then turn to her,"What do you think? Breast or thighs?" I ask, branding the chicken packets in my hands and she rolls her eyes but points to the frozen chicken thighs."I thought so too." I say and put it in my trolley."So let me get this straight, you called me all the way from home to help you go grocery shopping?" She says as we move along and I hum a little too loud, making it obvious that I don't want to listen."While you're ignoring me, remind yourself that I'm driving you home." She says and I laugh."Blackmail. Smart weapon." I say and she moves to block me."Okay, come on Marcy. You know I'm dying to hear the details. How was the third date?

Kyle says and I turn to him."But why? I don't want to go, I... I want to stay with you." I say and he touches my cheek."I want to stay with you too. ""So, why do I have to go. What's stopping us?" I tell him stubbornly but he leaves the carriage anyway and helps me out."It's common curtsy, Marcy. It's our first official date, you can't just follow me home."

That you told me so the first time? That he already made me come back in tears and I should learn from that?" I ask, waiting for her to approve.This should be a bad idea....shouldn't it?Still, why can't I resist going on a date with him?

Marcy's voice interrupts my thoughts as she walks into my room and I turn around to find her in a stunning, red velvety dress. The dress clings to her upper body and just at the waist, it sweeps out in a charming sway that stops at her knees."You like?" She asks and turns a full 360, saying,"Your sister suggested I buy it when we went shopping." She says smiling and I realize I've missed this part of her.This giggly part.This happy-go-smiley part of her.
