'I knew they would want her for a model! The moment she saw Kendra that she would want her!' Nelson cheered inside. In his mind the only thing that Kendra would need to do was show up, shake her boobs in front of a camera and she would be bringing in a bunch of money with no costs to himself and no real effort. A smile began spreading over his face as he rubbed his hands together greedily under the table. ' Finally our family's mistake will be put to some use!'
"So love, is there anything you would like to do?" Collen asked as they left The Garden. Ever since Collen pulled her away from the room with her uncle, Kendra had been absolutely glowing. In all honesty when Collen pulled her away from the meeting it was more or less spur of the moment. Collen remained outside the doors after they entered the room and was listening in on their conversation. Collen unable to tolerate how Nelson was speaking to Kendra in such a manner decided it was enougEvelyn slowly looked up from her phone a malevolent smile on her face as she looked into Nelson's eyes, her own burning with hate. She had met plenty like him in her time. And there was nothing better then spitting on the people that are use to spitting on others. Evelyn turned her gaze looking back down to her paper and spent a few minutes finishing it in silence. Finally she looked up sliding the paper across the table to him."I hope this will meet your approval." Evelyn said smiling sadistically. Nelson never had met Evelyn before, nor did he have even the slightest grasp of her personality. He was quite certain he was untouchable. And more so was sure she was smiling due to a successful deal that both parties would profit greatly from. Nelson reached out for the paper smiling like a used car salesman unloading the hooptie that had been sitting on his lot and prepared to breakdown fifty miles later....The smile on his face instantly vanished upon reading t
When Kendra and Collen arrived back at The Garden she was shocked beyond words for a brief moment."H-He left?" Kendra was stunned. Ever since her father took custody from her mother, Nelson controlled every aspect of her life. Where she slept, how long she slept, what she ate, what she wore, her workout routine, she had no control over anything. No money and ever since her first time running away she wasn't allowed to be out alone."I was able to persuade him to step away and allow you to live your own life." Evelyn shrugged allowing a small smile to slip. 'I have to say I quite enjoyed persuading him too.' She thought to herself as she presented the outline of the contract she was having drawn up for Kendra. As Kendra looked the papers over tears began to subtly fall from her eyes.'This is so generous!' She thought to herself. When her uncle told her about the possible job she had looked up the possible incomes for beginning models, the average starting
"Mother!?" Both of the women could only stare in disbelief."Thanks Bruiser." Collen whispered through the doorway to his friend who had brought over Kendra's mother. As John also gave Collen an envelope."I'm a security specialist. Not a private detective! Next time you need someone found, call someone else!" Bruiser protested. Though he would never admit it. After hearing the details through text message he was more then happy to help the mother and daughter reconnect."Hey you're getting paid one way or another. More then your normal rate might I add!" Collen hissed back through the doorway."Okay Okay, Well I'll catch you later man.""See ya. And Bruiser.... Thanks again. It may not have felt like much to you, but your actions will have meant the world to two women.""Yea yea." Bruiser called out waving his hand goodbye. Though as he was leaving he had a giant satisfied grin on his face. He had done his good deed for the year
"What do you mean the engagement is canceled?" A cold voice asked."Errr well.. That is to say Kendra is no longer in my care. I'm not so sure I can persuade her anymore." Nelson replied sweat visibly forming, his face burning a brighter shade of red. The one family that he could most benefit from, was also the family that could destroy him if they chose. And that family's son had taken quite the interest in Kendra. It was the opportunity of a lifetime! So one year ago without even notifying Kendra he had promised her hand in marriage to their son. Nelson would bring her to visit them from time to time, but he had never disclosed the reasoning to her. 'I mean hell she had to listen to everything I ordered her to do so it wasn't an issue. But then another opportunity had arisen to make some money and due to Nelson's greed, Kendra now had a powerful backer who gave Kendra a job and removed her from his custody. This was a family he couldn't exactly say no to, and apparent
"One hundred thousand dollars!?" Kendra shrieked her eyes close to popping out of her skull as she read through the papers in front of her. A signing bonus of one hundred thousand dollars had been added to her contract. "Oh my god! Ms. Constantine I didn't expect you to be so generous! I don't know how to even begin thanking you!""Haha... I guess I am... So generous I even tend to catch myself by surprise." Evelyn grumbled rubbing her temples and giving Collen the look of death. While he stood in the corner completely failing to whistle.'With how often I'm forced to feign being oblivious I should really learn to whistle.' Collen thought to himself. 'I wonder if she's angry.' He did a quick side long glance towards Evelyn, their eyes meeting for a brief moment. His own eyes trying to convey how sorry he was. Her eyes were trying to convey how much suffering she was going to bring down upon him.Collen may or may not have had the people writing up th
"Jefferson? Why would I ever marry Jefferson!?" Sure she had previously been allowed to visit the Thomas home, but she didn't have any feelings towards him. 'And my life is finally beginning!' She thought to herself. Years of pent up anger was beginning to surface in the back of her mind. 'The only reason he would suggest this or pretend to care all stems from he's after something.' Hell even if Kendra had some dormant feelings, and had previously been tempted to marry Jefferson, hearing it was something her uncle wished for would have been the kicker ensuring she wouldn't marry him."And what do you stand to gain from it?" Kendra demanded."What do I-? Just.. " Nelson was completely stunned by the turn of events. In a matter of days Kendra's personality had changed from the obedient beaten dog to one of a feisty rebelling teenager in Nelson's mind. "Who do you think you are to question me!?""And who do you think you are to command her?" Colle
"Please I'm telling you there's something seriously off about that man! Don't make any hasty decisions!" Nelson pleaded to Winifred and Benjamin. Both of whom were sitting across from Nelson looking both thoroughly amused and skeptical."Oh please, your prattling is boring me." Winifred sighed exasperated. Nelson came barging in on their lunch insisting he had something urgent to discuss with them, only to hear his wild accusations about some desk jockey working at The Garden.Winifred dropped a folder down on the table and indicated to it for Nelson. "You're worrying over some dream you had regarding some Orphan Irishman. There's nothing significant about him. Nelson reached for the folder flipping through the contents before dropping it back down on the table. "Ma'am you're highly regarded by every circle in the know. So how is it you don't find it strange that for close to ten years he disappeared like he didn't fucking exist! Then suddenly he's working as at
Kendra froze and eyed the woman skeptically, The woman had never been cruel to Kendra during her visits, but she was never so kind either. "Mrs. Thomas hello. It's a surprise to see you here.""Ah yes. Nelson came to visit us, and informed us you're no longer staying in his home. Such a shame, Jefferson was wanting to visit you... Perhaps since you're no longer staying with your uncle you could come visit us."Collen snorted hearing the such a shame part. 'No matter how you try spinning it lady, Kendra's better off without her Uncle and most likely without your son all the same.' He thought to himself giving her a superficial smile, which she of course returned in kind. The only difference was her fake smile almost felt genuine... Collen's was more along the lines of a sneer. 'Ah fuck it, my body knew the proper reaction to give.' He thought, giving himself a mental pat on the back."And who might this... Charming.. Young man be? My name is Winifred Thomas Kendr
