"Alexa!"
Judy gritted. It was so obvious he wanted to deal with her with words, but he was holding himself back because of the person seated in front of him.
He turned to face Mr. Green.
"I'm so sorry, she'll be taking your orders now"
Judy said and forced a smile.
"What? No! I'm not taking his damn order. My shift's over and I'm heading back home."
Alexa protested.
"Alexa, take the order."
No way am I gonna do that"
"Alexa, fucking take the order!"
Judy yelled and placed his hand over his mouth when he noticed everyone in the restaurant was looking at him.
"I'm sorry"
He apologized and gave a courtesy bow.
Alexa took this as an opportunity to leave and was about to, but Judy held her wrist and pulled her back roughly.
"What'd you do that for?"
Alexa yelled.
Judy was passing his boundaries and she didn't like it one bit. Since he wanted to be jerky, she was gonna get all bitched up!
"I gave you an order."
"And I refused it "
"You wanna get fired?"
Judy threatened.
"What the... You should be supporting me, not the idiot. He called this place horrible and I stood up to him and defended this restaurant."
Alexa sighed hard.
She didn't understand why Judy would go to any length to disgrace her. She knew this place was horrible, but she defended it.
"Well, I don't care. It's either you do what I say or get fired." Judy listed.
"Well, since this morning, I've thought of nothing but leaving this place. It's not gonna be the way you think though."
Alexa said and searched through her bag.
"Here"
she said and pulled an envelope out.
"What's this?"
Mr. Green asked, with Judy thinning his lip.
"It's a resignation letter. I drafted it on Monday, but you've pushed me to the cliff. Mentioning my brother's sickness wasn't enough, you included my parents, and now you're disgracing me in front of an idiot I don't know. It's a pity though... I'll miss Tina."
Alexa said, threw the envelope on the table, and walked away.
"I'm sorry about that. She's just one stupid girl."
Judy apologized to Mr. Green after watching Alexa leave in awe.
"You should be apologizing to that young lady."
He replied and made to walk away.
"Ain't you placing your orders anymore?"
Judy asked.
"I'm not. I can't eat in a cranky and mean restaurant. You're very mean, and one day, one way or the other, you'll pay for what you did today. "
Mr. Green said and walked out of the restaurant.
... Alexa's POV ...
Judy is so unbelievable!
He's a very selfish and heartless human. Humph! Anyways, it's not his fault, he was paying me as a worker. But that does not give him the right to treat me anyhow. What am I saying?
That rich guy is the bigger jerk. I wonder if he's really rich or if it's just a facade.
Jace!
Oh my God! I forgot about him. It's 4:32 pm now. He must be really worried... I need to get home as fast as I can.
I walked home as fast as I could, but when I got home, Jace was asleep already. I checked the fridge and saw that he ate lunch. I sighed in relief and brought a bowl of beef bone soup out. I checked it and thankfully, it hadn't gone sour yet.
If there's something I'm grateful for, is the fact that my Dad had bought this fridge two years before he met his end. I don't know how I'd cope with me and Jace eating sour food if the fridge wasn't there.
I snapped out of my thoughts and went to the kitchen to heat the soup up. I was so pissed off, that I forgot I hadn't eaten lunch yet. Bubbles from the pot gave me a notice that the soup was heated already and ready to be served. I dished some into one of my mom's China plates and took a soup spoon along with me.
I went to the sitting room and sat down on a couch. I felt the foam give way under my buttocks.
"I understand you're fucking old, but don't do that to me. If my soup pours on me, I won't forgive you."
I cursed out loudly.
"Fuck! I'm home. I shouldn't be using foul words around Jace"
I reprimanded myself and moved my mind back to the soup.
"Mmmh... This still tastes good even after being alive for 3 days."
I moaned after drinking a spoonful.
This would have tasted better if there was a television to watch. I laughed. Here I am thinking of a TV set when there's no money to pay for the electricity bills.
God, I'm so funny.
I finished the soup and went to do the dishes. Once I was done, I climbed up the creaking staircase to the room Jace Stays in. It's nothing great, but it's sure nicer than mine.
"Oh... He's so cute"
I admired and sat down beside him on the bed purring in satisfaction as my fingers ran through his thin brown silk hair.
"It's so soft"
I moaned in delight.
I sized him up with my eyes, he was so perfect from head to toe. As I ran my eyes from his toe-up, I stopped at his chest. Everything about him was so perfect except one thing... His heart.
He has a failing heart. He was first diagnosed with it when he was six. It was VSA or something like that. The doctors said he needed open-heart surgery, but I couldn't pay for it.
My dad was still alive when it was first discovered that Jace had a failing heart. We went to a doctor immediately and the doctor said he had a home in his heart and it needed to be operated on. My dad succeeded in collecting a loan from his boss for Jace's surgery. We paid half of it to the doctor to operate on him. After the operation, Jace came out alive and my dad paid up the rest.
We thought everything was over till about two weeks later. Jace started fainting if he ran for too long. Sometimes, his heart would stop beating, it is a miracle he's still alive now.
We went back to the doctor to tell him what was going on, but when we got to his hospital, he was gone. The doctor was nowhere to be seen. His hospital had a seal on it and when we asked around, we were told that the authorities shut the hospital down because it did more harm than good.
After that, my dad's world crashed, because the money was a loan he collected and he'd been robbed of it.
We took Jace to another hospital later on, and from the X-ray, we were shown, that the hole in his heart got bigger due to the bad surgery the fake doctor had carried out on him.
My dad was killed about a month later and dumped in front of our house. My mom followed two months after from heart failure. After much findings, I discovered that my mom's heart failure was hereditary, and Jace had unfortunately inherited it from her.
After they were both buried, I moved to the room they once shared and while throwing out some of their stuff, I found my dad's old diary.
"Strange"
I thought then.
I never knew my dad had kept a record of his life. I sat on the floor as I flipped through the pages hoping why he was killed would be on one of the pages.
Subtitle: My Contract Marriage Written by: Marvy Hyacinth I flipped and flipped, his diary was more of his life laments, mistakes and sufferings. I continued flipping until I got to the page two pages away from the last day he wrote.What he wrote was shocking... " I found the boss's secret hideoutand begged for a loan. He agreedto give it to me and he made mepromise to pay it back after amonth. I agreed. Well, I'd do anything to repair my son's failing heart."That was it.Wait!Boss's secret hideout?What does that mean?My dad was a driver for this rich man I never met before.I didn't even know anything about him, but why would a rich man have a secret hideout? From what I heard, he earned his money legally.I flipped to the next page. I checked the date. Weird, my dad wrote this the following month." He sent his men after me. It mustbe because of the money.""By HE, did he mean his boss?" I thought before burying my eyes in the diary in my hands and continuing reading on

If it wasn't for that flimsy white towel, I'd be seeing your torso"she winked at me and bit her lower lip.I know it was wrong but my d*ck suddenly stood at attention. "Elder brother"She added and scoffed at the title she so lovingly added."Stop doing that!"I shouted at her up tried to walk up to my room so I could hide my semi-erection."Why are you wobbling?"She asked me with her hands crossed on her chest."Ugh...nothing?"How would I explain having a semi-erection because of my kid sister's words?"Wait. You got an erection because of what I said?"She asked her cheek all puffed up in readiness to laugh."No!"I lied and immediately regretted it. I was very b

Jace answered from his room."I'm off to get a new job" Alexa said."What did you say? I didn't hear you!""I said I'm going out to get a new job!" Alexa repeated, but this time louder."OK. Good luck"Jace replied from his room."Won't you come downstairs and wish me luck here instead?""Oh... I'm coming"Jace yelled after her and soon enough, true to his words, he came down from his room."I thought you'd not come"Alexa rolled her eyes and Jace laughed at her."Why wouldn't I?"Jace asked."I don't know... Why wouldn't you?" "Come here" Jace said and pulled her towards the only sofa in the living room."What?"Alexa asked and giggled."You'll see"Jace said as he guided her to stand in front of the sofa while he climbed up the arm of the sofa."Are you trying to fall from there?"Alexa asked and Jace chuckled."Of course
Subtitle: My Contract MarriageWritten by: Marvy Hyacinth"Well, No"Judy replied."If you need a job so badly, go to the pig sty. You fit there perfectly. As for a restaurant as perfect as this one, you don't fit. What am I even saying? I meant to say you'll run down this restaurant with your bad luck.""But I used to work here. You never told me I didn't fit here. You always said I was ill-luck though."Alexa said with her eyes teary, the last part coming out as a mere whisper."Well, now I did. Take a look at yourself and compare yourself with those ladies serving when you came here. Did you notice anything?"Judy asked and Alexa looked down at her dress for the fifth time today. It was true. She didn't fit here."I understand. I don't fit here as you said."Alexa replied."Then get the fvck outta here idiot!"Judy shouted at her and that hurt her. She didn't know why she always felt like an ant every time she was with him. She always felt he could crush her anytime he wished and

Anything wrong?"He saw nothing wrong with his offer."How dare you reduce me to the status of a maid?"Alexa flared up."No! It's not that way, I promise""Then what were you implying?"Alexa asked."I mean... You don't have a job. You're searching for one now. I don't have a maid or helper in my house, I live alone. Normally, I'm ok with living alone, but since you need a job, you can help me do my house chores" Anderson explained."That's the same thing as being a maid""Maybe?""So out of all the jobs in this world, you searched and searched, and being a maid fitted me?"Alexa rolled her eyes."Well, truthfully yes.""Wow. Just wow""What do you want me to do? Give you an office work and employ you in my company?" Anderson asked sarcastically."Well... Yes!""I see."Anderson laughed."With what qualification
Subtitle: My Contract MarriageWritten by: Marvy Hyacinth"Good evening sir"Anderson was greeted as he passed by different workers in his company... Well, specifically, it was his dad's."Good morning."He replied and when he got tired at some point, he took to nodding instead of replying.He walked towards the private elevator and when he pushed the button, it opened up revealing someone already in it.The elevator was holding his sister in it."Hello Andy"April greeted with a smirk on her face."Wipe off that smirk from your face, And wait... Andy?"He scrunched his eyebrow."Yes. Andy"April replied."Why are you suddenly calling me Andy?" "Because I want to, Andy""Look here. I don't want you calling me that. The only person authorized to call me that is mom, and bless us, she graces us with her presence in the spirit."Anderson stated firmly. "And fvck! we're not even close to April. Wtf is wrong with you?" Anderson asked in annoyance."Look behind you"April ordered calmly.
Subtitle: My Contract MarriageWritten by: Marvy Hyacinth"What just happened here?"Anderson asked, feigning an initial ignorance of whatever he heard."Oh Anderson, you're here"Mr. Green said."Yes, I am."Anderson replied."And I asked what just happened here, Dad.""Are you directing your question to me?"His father asked with an eyebrow raised and Anderson huffed."Well."Anderson said, clamped his hands on his chest, and leaned against the wall after closing the door behind him."Who'd I be talking to otherwise?""Did you suddenly forget we're at work, and you shouldn't address me as 'Dad' ?" Mr. Green threw at Anderson and April smiled evilly.She knew the heck what was gonna come next."Oh, That? I forgot."Anderson simply replied."You don't have manners, Anderson.
