For a week I stay away from work, saying that I am sick when really I took some time off to prepare myself for today. I smile at myself in the mirror as I get ready for work, this brand new Monday morning. I am about to rock Mr and Mrs Cross' world. And by that, I mean that I am going to get Mr Cross and kick Natasha to the curb. After having my breakfast, I head for the door. Ready to take on the task ahead of me, which will be a simple one. I get to MetroSport with my intentions set, with a coffee in hand as I go up to Mr Cross' office. Even though I know he isn't there has yet, I'll wait for him to come. I smile to myself while sitting in his chair, knowing that it will all be mine. His money, that house, cars. Soon I'll be travelling the world, being waited and not having to work a day in my life ever again. When I hear the door opening, I spin the chair around to come face to face with my boss' shocked expression. I get up with a smile. "Miss Smith?" A look of confusion fla
The very next day, a knock comes at my door. I open it with a smile, thinking that it is Mr Cross. But my face falls after seeing that it is Ella."What do you want?" I ask."Just stopping by," she said."For what?"I can see that she is lying, she must have heard about this somehow.She peeks in behind me."Are you moving?"I glance back at the boxes behind me."Yes, yes, I am. I guess you can move back here like you wanted, but you will be by yourself. Or that new friend of yours can move in as well. I'm sure you will like that.""Where are you moving to?""It's none of your business, but since you must know. I'm getting married soon." I smile."Oh, that's great. I never knew you met someone."I make a face. "Of course I did. Leo, we have been seeing each other all this time.""Leo, as in Leo Cross?""Do you know a lot of Leos? But yes.""What the hell? You- this- Angie. He's-""Leaving his wife for me, yes. Now, if you have nothing else to say. Goodbye, I have to finish packing."I
An enormous smile spread across my face as we enter the gates to the mansion and drive up the golden driveway.'And here starts the best days of my life,' I thought."Let me tell you something, Angela, once you step inside this house. I expect you to obey by my rules, and if I should decide to marry you. You become mine, you listen to all that I say. And no man is to ever lay eyes or hands on what is mine. You get that?"''Yes Leo." I nod."Good, now come."I happily get out of the car to follow behind Leo, he pause for someone to open the door. And I take that time to admire the outside of the house. I feel like an ant staring up at this massive mansion. It is more beautiful up close, painted in yellow and white.I glance over at Leo, glad that this is finally happening.I always knew I would be a millionaire, even if it isn't self made. Still, I am here, about to live my best life.The door finally opens, to which I see two large suitcases to the left and a small bag on top of that.
The next morning, Leo comes to the room which I slept in alone to wake me up at four. I groan, roll to my other side and almost fell back into deep sleep until I feel a hard slap on my ass.That cause me to sit up in bed, my eyes are foggy and burning from the bright light in the room."Do you need something?" I ask.Leo frown at me, then grabs my face. "Is that anyway to talk to me? I need breakfast. I have a flight to catch, so get to it.""Don't we have maids for that?"He raises a brow at me. "I want you to cook me my meal. Now go."He drags me out of the bed, never letting go of my upper arm. Not even when we are walking on the stairs together, when we get to the landing if the first floor, he pushes me to the ground.I jump to my feet in anger. "What the hell? I'm not Natasha. You can't treat me like this."He scoffs. "Good to know that you are not, and you better not act like her, either. You told me that you can give me all that I want, so you better get to it. I want eggs.""
On the third day, I feel like pulling my hair out. I am still in this robe which smells like every food that I ate. The people with those clothes haven't showed up and I'm bored. I have nothing to do, there is no TV to watch. I can't find my phone, and I can't go anywhere because of the lack of appropriate attire."Can this get any worse?" I ask myself as I eat the last of the oatmeal.If I had known that it would be like this, I wouldn't have wasted so much food. I cooked more eggs than necessary and played with the rice. Now the food is running out.I thought the maids would have been here by now, but until now they haven't shown up. And I am not about to eat oatmeal for my dinner.I just wish Leo will get back soon. I can't wait for tomorrow. I really need a spa day, maybe even a vacation."Can I go to the pool?" I hear a tiny voice ask.I get up from around the table to go see who is here, because I was never told about visitors.When I get to the foyer, I see a woman dressed in a
When Leo finally comes home, which was two days after he said he would. I see his eyes all over the place, and a deep frown appearing on his face."What the fuck happened here?""Your sister and her child came here Tuesday. They created a mess, then left." I tell him. "Anyway, the people never came with my clothes, so I was stuck in these filthy things for days and there was no food."Leo makes his way to the kitchen to see what else is happening in his house, he clinch his fist after seeing the continue it is in."Angela, you said that my sister was here on Tuesday. If so, why didn't you clean up after she left?""Because she was the one to create the mess, she did it purposefully and the maids never showed up."Leo hit his fist against the counter, causing me to jump."And you just left the place to look like this!? You didn't even think about cleaning while here alone.""I mean, the maids will come."In one swift movement, Leo grabs me by the throat and forces me against the fridge
For a week, I have been treated like nothing but a slave. I am on my feet for more than nineteen hours, starting from four am to eleven pm. Then, for an hour and a half, I am forced to have sex with Leo. After that, I hardly have time to sleep.I lay wide awake now at quarter to two, too tired to sleep. Which I never know is possible. I think I have also developed restless-leg-syndrome because even now that I am laying still; it feels as if I am walking around.A single tear runs down the side of my face. I can't believe how quickly things have changed. But I caused this down on myself. I stole another woman's husband without even thinking about what their relationship is like.But now I see and understand. Natasha was miserable and all for a good reason. No wonder why she thanked me when leaving. I just set her free from a prison. She was a captive here and now I'm truly a replacement.I was so caught up in trying to get Leo from her that I ignored the signs. The black eye, the scrat
When the two female arrive with the many dresses for me to try, I make sure to pick the most unflattering dress that has a long split in the side, puffy sleeves and a fluffy skirting. I also pick out an ugly pair of shoes. "Are you sure this is what you want?" The woman asks. "Of course, this is my dream dress." I smirk. She exchanges a look with her much younger assistant. Why are they even so concern? If they know that this dress is so ugly, then why bring it in the first place? "Do you know how the backyard will be decorated? I hope that it will be at sunset. It will be just so romantic." I fake excitement. "No, we only came here with the dresses." "Ok." "We will make some adjustments to the dress so it will fit you better on your big day." The woman said, seeming unsure. "Oh, before I forget. Can I get a lift into town? I have a hair appointment, also have to get my nails done. I hope it's not too much to ask for. I don't want to bother the security so much since they hav
