All Chapters of Chosen For His Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Today started just like any other, me and dad both up at the crack of dawn. Me shuffling through the kitchen to prepare breakfast before our busy day at work. Every morning starts the same him sitting at the table with the paper and a cup of coffee reading the weekly comics. Me doing the house chores, cooking and cleaning. It's been our routine since my mom passed three years ago, and something I've come to treasure. My father isn't a very verbal man but the time spent with him is most precious to me. Today was an important day he has a meeting with our bank to see if he can refinance his business loan. When the pandemic hit we suffered a huge income loss and lately we've just been staggering along. He doesn't seem to worried so I try not to ask any questions. We both head out and he drops me off downtown at the small cafe that I work at. The small shop sits on the business corner in the city's most profitable location. "Annies" is the name of the cafe and we are surrounded by firm

Walking inside my home I call out to my father and listen for his voice, but it never comes I look inside his room and I see that his suitcases are no longer there. It looks as though he left in a rush. I sit at the table and write him a letter explaining everything to him and to let him know I will write and stop by often seeing as I'm not as close as I previously was so I thought I should explain. After I read it and checked it over I placed it on the countertop to ensure he sees it when he returns. Heading to my room I grab the small bag I packed earlier and my mom's knitting needles. As I walk to the door the silence breaks through and one single tear falls, “I guess I'm all cried out” having to accept what is happening for the better. Knowing dad wouldn't just forget about me I open the door and Gideon reaches for my suitcase. It's ok I try and speak but he stops me mid-sentence. Mrs.Rose this is my job please allow me to do it, with that I release the bag to him and he holds out

I slept the entire day away and most of the evening, when I awoke my eyes were swollen and puffy. My first night in a new house and my first night away from my father dread fills me as I swing my legs off the bed slide from the bed to the floor still in my naked state and then scurry to the bathroom. " I must have messed up pretty bad, he went from declaring his love to giving me the cold shoulder within minutes". Maybe I should be happy, but why is my heart in pain? Maybe he expected me to have a little bit of experience but I've always believed honesty is the best policy. Standing and looking at myself in the mirror, I cringe as I hear soft moans coming from the other side of the wall. Hearing her get louder and louder. "Oh oh De'Shawn yes right there, she repeats it like a mantra and my heart sinks to the pit of my stomach. How could he? Why would he? What did I do? This man is evil and deceitful, but I have no right to object. I take my rejected heart and slide into the whirlpool

What was meant to be quick and fast turned into an exhausting morning leaving my body rigid and tired? I lay in bed slumped on his chest barely keeping my eyes open. That wasn't fair DeShawn you trimmed me with sex, that wasn't a fair fight. “Fight I don't remember it being much of a fight he laughs kissing the top of my head”. After going through those rounds who would be able to fight back, but foreal can I please go to work? I need to feel worthy and you taking care of me won't give me that. Does it have to be that place you go back to work too can't or be somewhere else maybe a place where you can make more money? Yeah, that would be nice but right now I only have the skills to work at Annie's seeing as I never finished college. So if there was another job you would want to take it and explore other options. “Well yes assuming that it's something that I'm capable of doing and I'm not taking someone else's job I wouldn't see the harm in at least trying it". I lift my head from his

Arriving back at the coffee shop with two minutes to spare I put my things downwash my hands. What would you like me to do first Mrs. Anne I ask seeing her with a ton of orders on the screen we need them all dear you start and just let me know where you are whipping them up one by one some with whip cream some with small designs writing a note on each. One by one we get them done and I'm off before I know it. Just like Javier mentioned Gideon was outside and waiting by the curbside smiling as he held the day open for me.  Good Evening, Mrs. Rose, he greets, hey Gideon thanks for the ride home I smile up at him as soon as I make it to the car. “No problem at all it's my pleasure dear”. Opening the door to the car for me to enter, stopping mid-step I stop and turn to him. Gideon do you think I can possibly stop by my fathers it's closer than heading home right now and I just really want to check upon him. Trying my best to keep my tears at bay I wait for his response, hit
