Pocket money

Chapter 3 

  

"Well, your childhood was very......! Just as he was about to say something about my childhood, his phone rings, causing the conversation to be interrupted since he has to check the phone and answer whoever was calling him at the moment. 

  

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for the interruption". He apologized to me as he took the call and of course I have no right to decline him from making the call at that moment because I actually want him to tell me more about my childhood, but I guess he might do that after making the call, or he will never do it. 

  

"I'm sorry that our conversation needs to be over, I had an urgent call that I need to take, please take my phone and input your phone number". He uttered as he handed me his phone while I put my phone number in it. I gave him the phone back and thanked him. 

  

"Don't worry, I will contact you very soon". He had said before departing to wherever he was going. 

  

Not quite long, I went back to the house, thinking about the man that I just met. 

  

When I got to home, Katherine was the only human around at that particular moment and I just couldn't believe it when she started approaching me with her evil smirk again. 

  

"Please where's Raven and Alexander?" I ask, although I can see that they weren't around. "They went out Stefan, and guess what?", It's just me and you in this house now, so I'm free to treat you anyhow I want to, and you can't say "no" to it. 

  

She threatened me. Just as how she has always been doing, and I guess I have to listen to her fucking instructions. I just hate her and wonder why I have to be Alone with this devilish human being. 

  

"I want you to go cook for everyone in the house and after that, make sure you do some cleaning as well". She Instructed me as I fist my hand in Angers. I just can't stand her, Maltreating me every time all because of the facts that she hates Me. 

  

I guess marrying into the Black family was my greatest mistake ever in my life. Furthermore, I have never once cooked in my life and this middle-aged ugly woman here is just Ordering me to go cook for everybody in the house. How I'm I supposed to do that when I don't even know how to cook or do anything. 

  

  

I think it's high time I stopped being afraid of her and open up to her as the man I was. I turned to look at her and clear my throat, pulling her attention. "But Katherine, you know I don't know how to cook, how I'm supposed to do that". 

  

I stated, as she burst into laughter. "If you don't go inside that kitchen and prepare something for us, then I promise to kick you out before Raven and my husband will come ". She threatened me once again as I took a deep breath. 

  

I guess I have no options but to do what I have been commanded to do. 

***** 

  

I went to the kitchen to do the dishes, but the kitchen almost caught fire. Now this was the result of what she wanted me to do. 

  

The smoke must have distracted and pulled their attention that even Alexander Black approached me in the kitchen. I guess he's just coming back from where he had gone too. 

  

Judging by his look, he looked so disappointed at me and I didn't realize when he actually laid his hands on me. Gosh, it was very painful. This was actually the first time Alexander Black has ever Made an attempt to slap me. I guess he's very angry at me. 

  

"I'm sorry" I uttered, unable to look him in the eyes as I went to the living room and right there I saw his evil wife. (Katherine) smirking at me as usual

  

"I never thought you were this useless, there's actually nothing you can do in this Life since you're weaker than a moron". 

  

Her words hurt me a lot as I stormed out of the house in anger. I can't take it anymore. Why's she bent on bullying me in this house and making me look like the bad one. 

  

Just as I was wandering around, my phone rang, bringing me back to reality as I remove the phone from my pocket and check the caller ID. It was actually a strange number which I didn't know. Who could be calling me? I thought as I picked up the call. 

  

  

"Is this Stefan Maxwell?" The caller asked like he already knew who I was. "Yes" please who I am speaking with? I asked, trying to know who the person was or how he got my number. 

  

" it's good to hear your voice again. I'm your grandfather Stefan". He uttered as my eyes widened. Grandfather? So he was the person my parents were going to visit that day before they engaged themselves into that accident which terminate Their life 

  

"I don't know who you are nor did I remember you, but why are you calling me now? Why didn't you call me after the death of my parents or are you going to tell me that you weren't aware of it? I ask as he remains silent for a while. 

  

"I'm really sorry child, I'm sorry for everything that had happened in the past, I know you must have lived a miserable life after the deaths of your parents which is the reason why I'm requesting you to come live with me! Honestly, "I didn't know your worth back then which is the reason why I've abandoned you, but I'm sorry, and I'm ready to take you in because you're a member of the Maxwell family. 

  

I felt so Angry for a while and thought about my past Life. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I can come live with you". I was still furious at the fact that he couldn't offer me this chance when I was begging in the street just to eat. 

  

"I understand son, I will give you some time to think about this okay! And I will also give you pocket money so you could buy Anything you want. just think about it and call me when you're interested". The call came to an end as I took a deep breath. Wait, talking about pocket money, is he trying to bribe me?
