LOGINI pushed through the doors of the hospital as I ran towards my mum's room. Ashely texted me the room number so all I had to do was find the damn floor. After a while, I finally sighted the room and I ran towards it. "Ash....."I stopped dead in my tracks as I came face to face with my dad which made my blood boil. I felt the pain all over especially as I looked him over and saw how good he looked. He looked really good and well. Which made everything worse. How can he look so good while I'm suffering. "Addy ....." My mum's low voice broke me out of my trance. "Mama..." I said as the tears I was trying to hold back betrayed me. I took her shaky hands in mine as I squeezed it lightly. "My love ...oh how ....I've...missed....you" she said slowly and I smiled at that. " I missed you too mama..you'll get better" she smiled and she nodded. Squeezing my hands.The door opened and Ashley walked in with coffee for my dad I guess and she hugged me. " Hey there stranger" she smiled "Oh
I looked at him from the corner of my eye as we sat on the dinning table eating pasta silently. Well apart from the slurping sound we both made as we ate . I sighed as I looked down at my plate. This was the worst feeling ever the feeling that you're just a toy. I couldn't pin it as sex toy yet cause he has never asked me for sex not like I wanted him to but I atleast wanted him to look at me like a woman not an object. I pushed his bowl away and wiped his mouth . He walked to me and took my plate not caring if I was done eating or not . He just passed me and walked to the kitchen. I sighed as I pushed myself up. I relaxed my tensed shoulders and made my way to the stairs. "Adeline" Emilio's voice made me stop and turn. He walked towards me slowly making me back up a little.. "Forgive my manners" he said looking at me straight in the eye. "I have a hard time knowing when to shut up" I wanted to say something but I kept quiet was he apologizing? I couldn't quite understand. "I'm
A problem Emilio and I may have might be the fact that I don't shut up. I say my mind irrespective of who you are and what you are especially what. My dad really didn't help me with this side cause I constantly had to be saying my mind if not i would've been walked over and kept to grovel my way up to the top especially in my line of work. Honestly, now that I'm married I really doubt I have the luxury to keep up with my job. I obviously quit waitressing, tutoring and selling, but dancing is my first love. It is something I can't give up especially knowing how good I am at it. When I'm on stage, it feels like the whole world is on halt and I am the star of the night. Only me and the chairs and pole. Hearing the cheers make things even better because honestly, I love when my dance makes people feel good. Apart from the boners and crazy words I get called, everything else was blissful. Here I was in bed thinking about how the hell I was supposed to leave the house wi
The car ride was as silent as I predicted. Emilio stared out of the widow and I did same. Bth on opposite sides. When we drove into his street I knew it immediately. The roads where beautiful with flowers at the side and fancy streetlights. Large buildings where coming in view and my heart sunk. So .. this will be my new home. We got to the drive way and the car stopped. The driver rolled down his window and typed something in the intercom and continued with the drive. My mouth dropped as the mansion came in view. It was larger than the largest hotel on my street. Damn The car stopped directly in front of the large door and I swallowed hard before stepping out. Silently, I followed Emilio into the mansion and I looked around in awe. "Beautiful right?" Emilio said and I snapped out of my day dream. "Yeahh.....it is " I smiled as I looked around the house. White tiles covered the length of the room leading to french doors at the opposite end leading to the backya
"you look stunning Adeline" Ashley said as we both stared at my reflection. She looked like she was trying hard not to cry for my sake and I squeezed her hands in gratitude. How we ended up here is beyond me. After that dreadful visit, my dad made me understand that it was either this or death. Not like I give a fuck about my dad's life, but my whole family was involved what choice did I have?. To make myself feel better, it's better being a wife than a girl who works three jobs to feed her family. So, I took the deal. And as a plus, my husband to be was literally a Greek god. "Thanks" I was standing in a white slick wedding gown that hugged my side. Revealing all my curves perfectly. I agree I did look pretty but I felt horrible inside so horrible I couldn't believe I was actually doing this. My whole life I never expected to end up here at the age of 25 in a wedding gown getting ready to wed someone I just met once. The painful part was I had nothing to loose
"Adeline... Table two" Cassie said as she passed me the tray. Quickly, I took the tray and went to serve it. I tired to smile really nicely as my back was already aching. And my legs felt like burnt wood. "Here's your food enjoy" bowing down nearly killed me as my back cracked. This is exactly why I was coerced into taking this job. Bottom line I hate it. "Looks like your shift is over ma'am" Cassie smiled and I chuckled half-heartedly. "Lucky me" I said and she handed me an envelope. "Thanks" I smiled stuffing it into my bra. The pay is trash but who am I to complain. Going home was peaceful. The road was very quiet just the way I liked it. The smell of fresh rain made it even better. Everything is better with rain. I checked my wristwatch and it was 9pm I guess the store would still be opened. I didn't want a detour but I needed to. Sighing, I walked to the store which was longer than I expected. I got to the store thirty minutes past nine. I pushed the door
