I started by attending interviews in companies that were hiring but I always got the same response

“We will get back to you”

Only one of them told me the truth and said that

“No one was going to hire a college dropout whose last work experience was three years ago”

I thought I could prove them wrong and bag a job but I got nothing.

I thought my words alone would be enough to get me a job but I was never given a chance to speak all they wanted to see was the qualifications and I had none.

I decided to take several steps down and try places that didn’t care about degrees and mostly how well one could work. I did get the job, but I was fired after a month when the owner of the coffee shop found out I was pregnant.

I stood in front of a buzzing fast-food restaurant, which was opposite the hotel I was staying at. I was a bit overdressed but that was all I had to wear. I didn’t have a lot of money so when I had to get clothes I bought two pairs of jackets one black and the other brown, one

    “Good morning, everyone,” the man in the navy-blue suit said as he stepped into the room, he didn’t have his smile anymore he looked tensed like he was under pressed “Thank you for being here, today interview will be slightly different”My chest tightened as I watched the words leave his mouth “We have representatives from the foundation present,” he continued, “but also the CEO of the group will be joining us”He reconfirmed what I hoped was false.I began to think of how to get the hell out of thereIf he walked into this room, I couldn’t begin to imagine what was going to go down. What if he looked at me and saw through everything?My heart pumped harder just thinking about itI shifted in my seat adjusting my coat to be sure my bump wasn’t peeking out from any direction. I was torn between standing up and running out the door or staying right where I was which didn’t sound like a sane idea at all. I had to leave.The room shifted at his news and low murmurs followed.“He’s here

    I couldn’t recall the first interview or even what the company was about, because of the number of interviews I had attended in the past few months. I couldn’t keep count, but it was a lot, and pregnancy brain was a real thing. So, I spent the night researching what the company was into. I dug deep enough to find out it was a newly launched foundation which was a subsidiary of Ace group of companies. A wave of disappointment washed over me as I realized that my last gain of hope was something affiliated with Axel and his family. I ran my hand through my hair thinking about what to possibly do about it.Was it okay to show up? I asked myselfUntil I reminded myself that I was there for the first interview and no one recognized me. My name was different, I didn’t carry his last name technically I never did because I never got my name changed and apart from showing up in public a handful of times there was nothing else. I never had a public presence that meant no one would know I was

    It took a while to shake off the shame and hurt that swallowed me. I crouched over in a corner crying my eyes out. I didn’t know how to go on from there, I was humiliated and pushed out.Do I keep waiting for a vacancy or do I walk up to another establishment and hope luck shines on me? The one time I wanted to seize an opportunity, I was ridiculed. I thought being vulnerable would help me, but he took my desperation for something else.I crossed the road and struggled to push the door open; the door itself looked like it was going to be jammed for good and never open again. It was a big old metal door, it made loud creaking noises whenever it was opened or closed, and it would occasionally jam shut. I guess that day was one of those days because no matter how I pushed and twisted the doorknob it wouldn't budge and I was on a thin thread away from breaking down.“Hello!” I shouted, jiggling the knob and kicking the door to open up “Is anyone there?”I got no response and I resorted to

    “I asked a question, why didn’t you take my calls?” He asked“I didn’t see it” Axel said“Because you are here with your whore to harass your wife?” He asked“Ex-wife” Axel corrected under his breath “You don’t have any right to call for a divorce so don’t you dare think it is over!” His father's voice filled the ward“Si- it wa-”“Another word from you and I would make sure that dead acting career of yours gets buried for good” He shut Lianna up before she could speak and she swallowed her words not saying anything elseEveryone feared Axel Alistair, but the one with the real power wasn’t him in any way, it was his father, Aemond Alistair. Even Axel knew that well enough.“I was the one who asked for the papers” I spoke up“What?” He asked and I repeated myself louder this time. I didn’t know what was going to come next but I had to speak for myself“I was the one who asked for the papers” I repeated“Did he force you to do so?” He asked“No, I can’t live like this anymore” I admitt

    “You think this would change anything?” His eyes burned into me“I-” I opened my mouth to speak but decided to be quiet“The news of the divorce would be out tomorrow so you better buckle up” Lianna ran her hand on his chest with a big smile “Can you just leave?” I muttered“You made them call me here for your performance and you are trying to play innocent?” He asked walking towards me “I didn’t call you” I said through my teeth“Bullshit!” He roared“Stay the fuck away from me, you signed the fucking papers don’t play no games!” He shot“I do-”“It is so crazy how someone could be so delusional” Lianna cut in“Are you that delusional to think he would ever want in this lifetime or the fuck next?” She asked herself “Have you seen yourself?” Her face scrunched up in disgust “I have stayed on the sideline for so long but that would not happen again so you stay the fuck away or I would make you” she spat at me, her eyes letting me know that she meant every word she uttered “Just le
