2021-01-12 02:51:09“H-Helen,” I say dumbly, sniffing again. “C-could you go and text my friend? I would but my eyes are swollen shut right now and I can’t see the screen, my thumbs are too big, and I just want to lie down.”
Helen nodded, grabbing my phone and texting.
And just like the world had hated me, it dings.
I value my work and wanted to always stay alert whenever I get a call from a client. I have different alarm sounds for all my part-time jobs. There was a different ringtone for Ardere, Thomas, Personal Shopping, as well as for Markus. And the ringtone that kept alerting on my phone, signaled that he was probably sending me a new accounting problem that he had expected me to solve.
“Some man named

The Disreputable Love Transaction [35] I Saw The Sign But It Didn't Open Up My Eyes
My name is Violet Carter, I am 23 years old.The first time I stole something, I was at a church.My parents often brought me there, together with my 9 siblings. I was the 4th eldest. During those times, I knew what was right and wrong. I had been 11 at the time. My young mind understood that stealing something that wasn’t yours was wrong and will ultimately land you a spot in hell. However, my young mind also understood that it was wrong for someone to ignore the plea of their siblings.One of my youngest siblings’ stomach was rumbling loudly. Loud enough that some of the other churchgoers were looking at us oddly. They had already looked at us weird when we had occupied a whole bench. Even though our parents had dressed us in our finest attires, which w

“What did he say?”Keira looked so out of place that I was the one embarrassed for her. She was wearing a leopard print fur coat, her booty shorts was bedazzled at the edges, her white boots squeaking against the tiled floor. Helen didn’t look any better. It seemed like she was more stressed than me. She opted not to shower, much more she didn’t even put-on make-up. Her top and bottom didn’t match, and to top it all off, she was only wearing fuzzy slippers.“Just the usual things they say to pregnant women, I guess.” I sit between them, “He said I was already five weeks in and that I should be careful about how I move and about what I eat now. That I shouldn’t stress myself because it won’t be good for the…uhm. The thing.”

“It’s rare,” The saleslady says from next to me. I haven’t even realized that she had already been there. I was still stuck staring at the cute little nightlight that reminded me so much of Mexi. “Limited edition too, not a lot of parents want their babies near night lights like that. Babies are scared of it. I think it looks cute though, don’t you, Ma’am?”She was probably lying.Although I could believe that not a lot of parents want their child near such a weird piece of furniture, I doubt it was a limited edition. If it was, I wouldn’t have found it on sale in one of the shopping apps that I have installed on my phone. Leaning down, I grab the price tag and nod once I saw the price. It was relatively cheaper than the one I saw online.

“Just for the record, I am extremely not at the best moods with you right now.”Markus's voice rang in my ears. It seemed to be echoing and all I could do was lean against the sofa, closed my eyes, and listen to everything he was saying. Of course, he would be annoyed it had been a few days since I had ignored his texts. I did tell him that I would only be unavailable on Wednesdays. However, since he did ignore that and continued sending me text messages, I thought it would also be alright for me to ignore him when he texted me the next days after.“It was extremely unprofessional for you to ignore my texts when I had messaged you,” He continued to rant, still talking even though I have been silent on my end. I could feel a throbbing in my head, and I knew that there was a migrain

Apparently, the crumpled pieces of paper Markus had given was free food vouchers.“Here you go,” The waiter says, placing two completely same set meals in front of us. It was a plate that had two pieces of steak covered in gravy, mashed potatoes, and green peas. “The usual, Sir. Just how you wanted it. The chef sends their regards. Also, before I forget…”The waiter returns the crumpled piece of paper to Markus, smiling as he did, “Here you are.”Markus nods and waves the man off. Ignoring the weird thing that just happened, I grab the voucher from him and look at it. Seeing as I was proud of my talent and skill when it came to couponing and exploiting vouchers, it was ridiculous that I didn’t have the paper that he just showed.

I finished my meal and Markus was still on his phone.To be honest, it wasn’t like I was expecting anything from him. Still, there was some small part of me who was waiting for him to offer some sort of help. It wasn’t like I would be draining his wallet or wherever he puts his money on, but I didn’t expect that the man would just ask how it happened and had me tell him the options.Grabbing the napkin roughly from the table, I wipe my face and stand up.Only I didn’t get that far because quick as lightning, he had grabbed my wrist. His eyes were still on his phone that’s why I had no idea why he would prevent me from leaving. We weren’t solving anything. I thought for sure I would come up with a decision right here and now. Especially if he

It wasn’t a surprise.When I had found out I was pregnant, during the times when I was drying my tears, I scrolled through baby stuff on my shopping app. It was a big joke, how small outfits cost much more than the actual outfits that I did have. Not to mention the expenses when it came to their food, things they need once they grow up?When someone has a child, I’m sure they’re preparing on having their money plunged down the drain.Markus holds his chin, his eyes looking up the ceiling. He looked like he was in deep thought. Unlike Keira, I don’t know much about Markus just yet. Even though he is technically the father of the thing inside of my belly. I couldn’t quite read it if I should rejoice because he’s using the probably pea-sized org

An older version of Markus both female and male versions are looking at me with wide eyes.They were both wearing clothes that looked as old as the day that I had been born. Clothes whose colors are now light, probably because it had been washed for who knows how many times already. They were behind a desk that is positioned like a huge L. The older male version of Markus was on the other end, holding a cup of coffee, and was just about to drink it if we haven’t entered. Meanwhile, on the other end of the desk was the older female version of Markus, she was perching cat eyeglasses up her nose, her ear pressed to a telephone.“Son,” The older male version of Markus who I’m assuming is his father asked. “Not that I’m happy you visited, but why are you here?”

My mother named me after a color I didn’t even like.I would have preferred it if she had named me Green. Green is a nice name. It’s a nice color. I love the color green. And so does my brother, Gray. He only ever showers when the shampoo is green. Green is also what I color the trees. Trees are good. Without trees, there would be no books. I couldn’t imagine what life would be without books.Or maybe I can, I just don’t want to imagine life without it.I like books. Right now, I’m reading a book on different psychological assessments.

A miniature demon was inches away from my face.“Markus,” Gray whispered softly. “I have to ask you something.”It was like he was trying not to wake me up more than he already did. Groaning, I rub the back of my head. When he had woken me up by blowing warm air in my ear, I woke up flinching. My head hit my headboard, and I was afraid I might have broken it, and I wasn’t really in the mood to spend any more than I already did the past few days.“What is it?” I asked, lifting him up and placing him on my lap. The past few months have been amazing, he’d taken in a lot more weight and even though he hated it, he also started taking more showers. All we needed was changing the shampoo to the green ones that he liked. “What’s wrong, bud?”
The Disreputable Love Transaction [EPILOGUE] The Disreputable Love Transaction
It was around midnight when my sister started to fucking scream.When we had been living on the same roof, I was used to her bitching every hour of the day. She finds gum in her shoe, she bitches. She loses one of her earrings, she bitches. She figures out I ate the last fucking piece of donut. She fucking bitches. Everything she does is bitch. It came to the point where I don’t even want to come home anymore because I was missing sleep because of all the time she keeps bitching about everyone at the house.Still, for some inexplicable reason, I feel like her bitching now didn’t sound like her typical bitching.Rubbing my eyes, I yawn, pulling myself up from the couch. The television was still on when I had been watching a movie a few hours ago. Violet would probably have bitched about this too but

“Give that back to the kind gentleman, Gray.”Gray scrunched his nose up in annoyance, “No!”“Gray,” I say again, forcing a smile so that none of the other people could tell I was close to slapping the back of his head for being a brat. “Return the paper bag to the man.”“Helen said only one per person!”“We bought lots, didn’t we?” I counter, “Just give it back.”Gray mutters something under his breath once more but, he returned the paper bag to the homeless man who for sure was hiding five more bags inside of his coat. He walked by more than a few times already, I just didn’t make a comment. Hey, if we were in t

“What’s that about?” Red asked as we got out of the cab, pulling an exhausted and dozing Markus out. Thankfully, Red was with me because there was no way in hell I can carry Markus all on my own. I already had another set of weight that’s pulling me down in my belly, I can’t have the person who made the weight possible adding to the changes of my center of gravity. “What did that woman mean by contract, Violet? What was she talking about?”I say nothing. Instead, I slung my arm around Markus’s lower back, while his inner elbow settled around the back of Red’s neck. It was a good thing that his apartment was in the basement and we didn’t have to use the stairs. Thank you to whoever invented elevators!Red huffed, his voice sounding annoyed with my sudden s

“You brought a titty club?”“Red!” I hissed, covering his mouth immediately before either of the kids hear. “It’s not a titty club! I’ve never seen an uncovered breast at Ardere. Can you keep your mouth shut?”Red and Clementine got home a few hours after we prepared dinner.And Markus was yet again, working late today.He had been working late for quite a few days now that I’m starting to both get worried and annoyed. Granted, I wasn’t alone at home and he could leave me without me getting bored, it still wasn’t what I expected. Especially now that we knew what the other had felt. I thought for sure that our feelings were mutual, everything would feel different.
The Disreputable Love Transaction [94] Everything We Wished For
My therapist suggested that I should make a list.They told me that hate was a powerful word, and that it was subjective. That maybe the hate that was festering inside of me wasn’t necessarily considered as hate but more of confusion and guilt forming together. They told me that sometimes things happen beyond our control and that I shouldn’t blame myself for the choices I made along the way over things that I had no control over.Of course, I thought it was total bullshit.Still, I found myself typing names on the notes app of my phone. I was inside my room, with the door open to ease everyone’s concern. I’ve already gone and fed Mexi. It had been a long time since we spent time alone together. Markus, Scarlett, and Olive were at their jobs, Hazel was at her dorm, Red and Clementine wer
The Disreputable Love Transaction [93] Who Knew Therapy Wasn't All Just Fun And Games?
I don’t know what’s more infuriating.Maria and Maverick, who were trying to keep cool but failing horribly, while they were taking food out of paper bags. They kept glancing my way ever since I got back into Ash’s room. Or maybe it was my siblings that were more annoying. I could feel their stares on me even when they weren’t facing my direction. It was that bad.Red, Jade, and Gray were standing by Ash’s, who thankfully was knocked out cold and not blabbering crazy stuff anymore, bed. Gray was blatantly staring, whispering something to Red, while tipping his head in my direction. Red was glancing at me from the corner of his eye, and I met his gaze. When he noticed that I caught him, he placed his hand on top of Gray’s head and swiveled his face to avert his gaze.Th

Keep calm, Violet.I’ve been repeating that ever since Markus had grabbed my hand and started pulling me along behind him, walking to heaven knows where. He’s been quiet ever since we left Ash’s room. I didn’t miss the way that Maria and Maverick were throwing glances at the both of us as we left. Hell, even Red was giving me a knowing look and it’s Red we’re talking about. He couldn’t even care less about my girly problems.I was in such a state, it took me a long time to figure out just where exactly we were going. We’ve passed the hospital park where we had the talk a few days ago. And it doesn’t really look like we’re going to where his car was parked. My hands were getting clammy and he still hasn&rsquo
