Chapter Six
What Does He Want?Eliza Harper"Goodnight," the woman whom he called Ivy said to me before walking pass me."Goodnight," I responded but that was after she left.I turned back and he was already walking you the stairs, I still couldn't wrap my head around what happened in the last few minutes.He already had a maid, why was he making me his maid again, it wasn't like he was in dear need of one.There has to be something else about me working for him that he is hiding, there was something and a reason behind all his actions, because how could he be so cold to me alone?.I could see how close and free he was with Ivy, the emotions in his eyes and the horrible face he gives me wasn't there, why was I the only on being treated that way,I needed an answer, and I couldn't hold it in any longer.I was short of patience, and I was tired or keeping quiet. I didn't know how long I was going to be staying with him, it would be better to know his motives before I start staying in his house, I wasn't even sure of his identity yet."Hey," I called, maybe it was rude but that was how I felt at that moment. He couldn't have been older than me, and even if he was, he was be in the same age range with my sister, Emily.He stopped and turned back to me, I knew that would be the only language he understands, he wouldn't have responded if I had called him master just like ivy does. Wealthy people are always so full of themselves and they keep matching you without bothering when you keep giving them the chance."What the hell do you want from me?," I yelled, it was better to know what he wants from the beginning. If it was something I wouldn't be able to keep up with, I could just state a time I would return his money.He glared at me as usual, his eyes were so intimidating and I wanted the earth to open up and take me in until he leaves.He began to come down from the stairs, taking a step after the other until he got to me. He shook his head and dipped his hand into his pockets.He began to scrutinize my whole body with his disgusting look, he looked at me from head to toe, like I was nothing, like I was just a thing he could walk on if he wanted. It felt like I wasn't a human and I was never going to get to his position in life, I wasn't sure of who this man was and why he was doing all that to me."You dare ask me that stupid question," he shouted and my body shook, I began to tremble in fear, his voice resounded in my ears making my body sweaty, "You dare ask me what I want from you?," he grunted, "Such audacity," he shook his head.I was scared, but I summoned the courage to talk, that might my last chance, and I wanted to make use of it. That might be my last and only chance to stand up to him and make my voice heard, I wanted to do it without thinking about what would he the result.I knew that I would have to make a decision after our talk, I either stay with him and work of the money, or I go out in search for it which I never think I would.I wasn't qualified to work in an office or anywhere, the only place I was qualified to work at was the coffee shop, and the money I get there isn't even enough for my three square meal, how was I supposed to pay him back with it?."Yes..yes," I tried as much as possible not to make it known that I was scared of him, "What is it that you want from me?," I asked, "You have a maid already, why do I have to work as your maid?," I was confused, and I hope he would give me an answer to it.He shook his head with a faint smile on his lips, "You are basically going to become my slave, not my maid," he folded his arms, "I own you, I own your life, and I can make you do whatever you want without being questioned my anyone," he added and moved closer to me, I wanted to step back, but it was too late."You signed the contract, don't forget, you are mine, I own you," he shouted in my ears and I gasped for breath.I shivered as I stared at him, "But...but why would you treat me this way?," I asked, my eyes were already filled to the brim with tears, I had always been treated that way by others.I had always been intimidated my others, I was bullied, and this is also not different from bullying. It was the same story for me, but different people, they always pick on me.."You talked nicely to the maid, you were nice to Ivy, but not me," I murmured, trying hard not to cry, "Why won't you or anyone be nice to me?," I broke into tears, it was so hard to deal with people picking on me.He laughed, he wasn't even concerned that I was in tears, he wasn't bothered about how I was feeling, he was making a joke out of my condition, it seemed like fun to him."You don't deserve to be treated right, you will never deserve it," he stated and pulled me closer to himself, "And even if everyone treats you right and nice like you want, I, Alexander, I will never treat you right," he added and pushed to the floor, "You don't even deserve to live among the humans, you are a murderer, an animal, so stay where I put you and do whatever I ask you to do, or I will make your life more of a hell," he fumed and turned back to the stairs.I was on the floor, I couldn't stand or say anything, I just watched him as he walked up the stairs.My lips quavered as the tears in my eyes won't stop rolling down, my whole life which was a mess before was more than a mess now, this man was ready to take me on a journey to hell.He turned back to me and I froze up, "You will be using that room, and make sure you don't touch anything there," he instructed and I nodded immediately.He walked into his room and I was left alone, on the floor, with my life not being different from what it had been before, the only slight difference was that it was worse. I was living with a devil, he owns my life.CHAPTER NINETY-THREEFamily Reunion Alexander’s POVWe all got into the car and zoomed off, back to my house. It felt like I had gotten what I had been wishing for, for years.When my mom was pregnant with Kasy then, I was always imaging and looking forward to the day we would all sit around the table and have a meal together, I was looking forward to the happy and family times we were going to have, but it was all caught short when we were told that she died after birth, I couldn’t deal it with.We all couldn’t deal with it, so we left back the memories and our dreams to have one big family with the new born baby behind in Paris and came here. We thought we were never going to have that family we wished for anymore, and my mom never made a move to get pregnant again.I could remember crying and wailing to have a sibling, I didn’t want to be the only child, because it really felt lonely to be alone without one. But my mom refused to get pregnant again, due to the fear of what happene
CHAPTER NINETY-THREEThe Dead Daughter 2Alexander’s POVMy mom stood up, hands trembled as she moved closer to where Kasy was, “D..don’t tell me that..that Kasy is my daughter.”My heart skipped a beat too, I began to think of the possibilities of Kasy being my sister, being my mom’s missing daughter and it looked so much like Kasy was my sister, she was the one we all thought was dead, she was the one this man found and had legally adopted to be his daughter, I just couldn’t believe it all.Kasy’s dad nodded, “Yes, she is! She is your daughter Mrs. Stones,” he declared.My mouth dropped, Kasy is my sister! Kasy is the one we all thought was dead, she was my sister. I just couldn’t believe it, it felt like all my mistakes, all I had done was coming back to haunt me and there was no way out for me.My heart ached as I stared at Kasy who also seem to be finding it difficult to believe all that was going on, she had a blunt look on her face and she kept staring from my mom to her dad, a
CHAPTER NINETY-TWOThe Dead Daughter 1Alexander’s POV“Dad!” Kasy murmured and fell on her knees before her dad with tears rolling down her eyes, she still had her baby in her hands.“Mr. Dominic?” My mom stepped forward and asked, “It’s you! Mr. Dominic!” She exclaimed.I was confused, where did my mom got to know Kasy’s dad? What was going on? I didn’t really understand it, and my mom seemed so happy to see him, it seemed like they knew each other from somewhere and they were meeting for the first time in long years, I didn’t really understand what was happening. How did they get to know each other?Kasy’s dad looked up at my mom and a smile fell on his face, “Mrs. Stones?” He mumbled, “Is this you? I have been looking for you, for years!”My dad also walked to them, “Is this the man from the hospital years ago?” He asked.My mom nodded at him, “You are right, he is the one.” She responded, still with a smile on her face.I really didn’t understand what was going on, all I wanted wa
CHAPTER NINETY-ONEThe Journey To Forgiveness Alexander’s POVMy mind kept raving as I drove and followed Kasy’s directions, the more miles we passed, the more my heart thumped hard in my chest.I knew I was going to meet my judgment soon, I was going to face a man that might never want to see me, a man that might despise me so much and wouldn’t understand what made me do all I did.I knew none of my actions could be justified, I knew none of the reasons I had could be enough to justify my inhumane actions, but I just wanted to them to see from my point of view. I wanted them to imagine themselves standing in my shoes and think about what they would have done in my situation, I wanted them to see it, but none of that could justify my actions.I lost every reason I had to live, I lost every happiness and love I had in me after that accident, I felt like I had lost everything and I was left with nothing but the empty vessel of myself.I wanted to turn back the hands of the clock then,
CHAPTER NINETYThe CauseAlexander’s POVI nodded at Kay, “Yes, I will.” I will do whatever she wants just to get her forgiveness, I will do anything she asks of me because that was the only way I could also be fine with myself, I would make it up to her in whatever way she wants.“Then, you have to go and apologize to my father.” Kay said and sniffled.My heart leaped into my throat, I stood still and stared at her, I didn’t know how to do that, I didn’t know how I was supposed to face her dad after what I have done to him and to his entire family. What would I say when I get there? How would I explain myself? What would I tell him was the reason I treated him and his family that way? What would I say to him?I just didn’t know what to do or say to him, he was the last person I would want to face, my guilty conscience wouldn’t let me, and I was also scared about what the outcome might be. What if he doesn’t listen to me? What if he pushes me off after telling him and trying to beg fo
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEMy FaultAlexander’s POV“You are the cause of this whole thing, and I wanted you to pay for it, so I made it look look like you were the father of this child.” Kasy shouted.I fell to the chair, I couldn’t believe this was all because of me, this was all because of me.What do I do? What do I do now that I know I made all these happen? How do I correct my mistake and make things right again?I was confused, I didn’t know what to do, the birth of this child in the first place, was all because of me, even though I wasn’t the father.I hung my head as I sat on the chair, my legs shook from the disappointment in myself and the realization of what has happened. I was lost and confused, I didn’t know what to do or say, I didn’t know how to make it up to Kasy for what I did to her and her family, I just didn’t know what to do.It was like I was thrown into a deeper confusion, and there was no way out for me, no matter how hard I try to find one.I thought I was doing the
