“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

    There are three rules to being a stripper.Always act like you enjoy it while dancing with the pole...and if you do enjoy it, good for you.Always give most of the attention to the one who is craving for it. The whistling one. He'd give you a gold tooth when he is done slapping all the money to you pantie strap or cleavage.Never have feelings for a customer."The Masked Seducer, everyone!" Comes my closing and I thankfully end with a carousel straddle, earning more whistles and cheering before I slide down the pole, blowing a kiss to the bearded man with a cowboy hat as I seductively leave the stage.Backstage has always been my favorite part. Sighing with exhaustion, I walk over to my makeup side of the long mirror and sit down, removing the dollar bills from my cleavage, bra strap, and pantie str

    I always wake up before noon, but as my heavy eyes finally react to the sunlight, the red numbers on my bedside digital clock cause me to blink severally.2 pm? It's 2 pm?!I sit up in shock as I stare at the clock a little longer before I notice Tyler's note next to it.HEY, SLEEPY. THIS IS BECOMING EXPECTED BUT I'LL STILL SAY IT ANYWAY. WASH UP, EAT UP, REST UP...AND SINCE YOU MISSED SEEING DAD, MAYBE YOU CAN FIND TIME TO GO THERE BEFORE YOU LEAVE. STAY SAFE. TEXT ME. I LOVE YOU.Sighing, I slowly get up, just to feel a sharp pain at the left side of my head. I sit down back on my bed abruptly as I grasp my head with a groan. Dammit, how long did I stay up crying last night?My entire body feels sore and my eyelids weigh a ton, my hair is in a messy knot somehow atop my head and I can sense my energy draining but I get up anyway, avoiding the small mi

    It should be almost a minute now, but I'm sure I've lost track of time just standing here and waiting for the man in the shadows to at least speak.I watch him reach down and adjust his already perfectly tailored cuffs."Are you waiting for me to call you over or that fall had you paralyzed?" His voice comes out quietly but strict and firm."B-But, you didn't call m--" I stutter in a state of fear that I've never experienced before but he doesn't let me finish."They didn't think your name was of importance so I'm guessing neither are you." He says in that quiet, strict tone."Excuse me?" I say"Get over here and do what I'm paying for, already.""I don't even have the slightest idea of what is going on, and you just sit there...demanding and ridiculing--"He doesn't let me finish but just waved his hand a

    "Peppermint latte, please. And a muffin, thanks." I say to the waiter that takes my order as I stare at my watch one more time.It's already 15 minutes past noon and I scan around the outside of the small cafe until I spot Maya exiting a taxi and making her way towards me.For some reason, I just enjoy a table out on the premises. The giggling children, the nice Orlando air, and the open space."Marcy! I haven't seen you for so long, it's a crime." Maya exclaims when she gets to the table and I get up to hug her, giggling."It's only been a week Maya." I say and she just rolls her eyes as she sits down."You try having a baby and tell me if a week doesn't seem like a year." She says, reminding me again of how her life's going beautifully well. Maya was in college a year ahead of me since I had to stay behind after high school. So, two years into college and I'd dropped out while she got married.

    Well?" He asks and I realize I haven't answered his first question.'How bad do you want this job?'How bad do I want it?More than he knows that's for sure, but I can't bring myself to form a single sentence.Here I was in the presence of this man whom I'd spent less than an hour with and yet I couldn't stand him then.And now I was applying for a full-time job to be living with him, cooking and cleaning.I can't do this.I can't do this.I'm not going to spend months and maybe years with a man that would probably make me regret my existence.I want to run out of here, I have to. I take a deep breath, ready to tell him that I'm no longer interested, but when I look back up at him, he just had a brow raised impatiently at me and I realize one thing.He

    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.

    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?

    The carriage ride back to the apartment seems to be the worst part of the date.I don't want to go.I want to stay with Kyle.Who says 'I love you' and walks away?Unfortunately, the ride comes to an end in front of the building and I stare at it like it's the enemy."You know you have to go." 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." He says but I'm not the least bit convinced."Kyle--""I respect you, and I want you to know t

    "Are you gonna tell me now?" I say to Maya as the hairstylist runs her fingers through my just-curled hair.Maya looks up from the magazine she was reading and gives me a look."What?""That this is a bad idea? 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? Why am I thrilled yet frightened by the idea of spending a nice, private time with Kyle Robinson?"Say something." I say, my voice high with paranoia."Like what? He is taking you out on a proper date, Marcy. I don't want us to fight because of him again.""So you have a bad feeling about this? You think this date is a bad idea right?""No,

    Kyle's P.O.V"Marcella!!" I yell louder as I run after the speeding uber car.It's no use and soon the car fades out of sight."Marcy....." her name comes out in a whisper as I stand, waiting to see if the car will return.If she would please change her mind.Instead, lightning breaks through the darkness of the night, and a loud clap of thunder follows after.She left...She is leaving me...for good.I can't force my head to think calmly enough because all that is racking in my mind are her words as I hurry back to where my car is parked.They're all standing there, in their dinner gowns and suits, staring at me.

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.
