I Love You Three, My Dear Mates.

ANGEL

I cleaned the kitchen and was about to return to my room to study when I heard the voice.

“Hey girl, come and massage my legs.” it's from my uncle, mother's elder brother and I trembled in my place because he had a bad eye on me and wanted me for himself.

I escaped from him many times and complained to my mother but she never believed me and called me a burden on them.

Only my grandma loved me and after her death, they started mistreating me more. I have to do all the household work and still have to go to work because they don't pay for my education and I have to pay for it myself by working.

I went near him to massage him when he touched my thigh. I got scared and ran to my room and closed the door. He is scary and can go to any level to have me. I heard him knocking a few times and threatened to r@pe me if I didn't obey him.

“It will be a pleasure for you if you accept it but if you do like this you will get pain only.” he said while I cried hearing him.

“You are my uncle. Like a father figure to me. How can you do this?” I asked him hoping he would change his mind but what he said shocked me to the core.

“You are an orphan who we took with us to keep you as our servant but my good for nothing mother loved you and we can't do anything. Now she is dead and you will do as we say.” I realized the hatred they showed on me is because I am not their child.

I decided to escape and tried to climb down from the window when my uncle came in, breaking the door. I tried to climb when I held my hand and pushed me to the bed.

He came over me and tried to kiss me when he went flying in the air and I heard a few bullet sounds and opened my eyes to see someone standing with a gun in his hands and my mother staring at me angrily.

I looked clearly and recognized him as my friend Oliver but couldn't see his face clearly.

I turned to see my uncle lying in a pool of blood and he had already died. I turned around to thank my childhood friend and was happy with his return but he was emotionless and didn't even look at me.

He went out and my mother came to me and slapped me for the drama I created. I was confused and tried to explain to her that it was my uncle who tried to r@pe me.

Suddenly there was a change of tone in her voice and she looked at me in pity.

“I am sorry, dear. Momma didn't think before speaking. Come let me get you ready.” I asked her the reason and she said Oliver wants to marry me.

“But I didn't know anything about him. He just returned from abroad after completing his studies.” I said while my mother laughed, “You are his childhood friend, you will lead a happy life.”

I don't know how to react. Her brother just died and she doesn't even react to that and now happily getting me ready for the marriage.

I came down and saw Oliver in the bright light. Earlier my room was dark and I just knew he was Oliver but didn't see his face clearly. Now seeing those ocean blue eyes and dark black hair made me fall in love with him at first sight.

“Is she a virgin?” he asked them while I stood frozen to my place hearing it. For the first time I fell in love and that too it was a love at first sight and he turns out to be a jerk like other men.

“You can check it soon.” my mother said while he laughed at the comment and gave them money and held my hand, “If she isn't then I will take my money back.”

I tried to push him while crying but my mother took me to my room while saying, “She is feeling emotional. Let me tell her how to behave in your rich family and some instructions. Please wait for five minutes.”

“Come dear. This is for your good only.” she said to me and took me to my room and slapped me hard.

“What do you think of yourself? We are helping you and getting you married to such a rich family even after you killed my brother and you ungrateful brat, you are not cooperating with us.” I told her this is wrong and she is selling me to him.

“He wants my daughter for his pleasure because she is beautiful and neat and clean unlike you but I can't give away my daughter and we gave you food and shelter all these years and for that you need to marry this man or be his mistress or do whatever he says.” she said and pointed towards my uncle's dead body and continued, "you also killed him."

“Oliver will escape with his money and we will get you arrested for killing my brother for our money. If you go with Oliver you are only his slave but if you go to jail then you will be a toy for so many men and women. Choose where you want to go.” saying she left me in my room and went out.

I sat on the floor disturbed and cried my heart out for the suffering I am going through, “When will this end?” I cried looking at the moon and decided on something with a determined face.

“If I am going with Oliver then I won't be a sex slave for him. I will get my rights and be his respectful wife and prove myself as the person who deserves everything in the world.” I promised myself and wiping my tears I went down.

“I will marry you.” I said smiling at him while he smirked at me and went out asking me to follow. I didn't look back at my mother or sister because I know they don't care about me. Maybe that's the reason my mother's husband ran away when we were kids. She is selfish.

And from now they are dead to me too. I closed the main door and stepped out to see dozens of cars waiting for Oliver and me but a security guard guided me to a different car.

“I will see you tomorrow at the wedding altar, wifey.” Oliver whispered in my ears but still he didn't show any emotions. He was not like this then what happened to him?

“See you soon, hubby.” I said and got inside the car while he stood in surprise hearing me taking all the things so casually.

I have suffered enough but not anymore. Now it's my turn to fight for me.
