UNDER THEIR RULE The burden of a mother.
Nadia's POVCelina shifted on the bed, her eyes slowly blinking against the harsh hospital lights. I moved closer and placed a hand over hers.“How are you feeling?” I asked.“Like someone tore open my intestines and asked wolves to eat me from the inside out.”I smiled. “I'll take that as better.”“Are we in a hospital?” she asked, looking around. “We can't afford a hospital.”“What do you mean we can't afford a hospital?” I frowned. “What we can't afford is surgery, which would have been next on your to-do list if you had kept refusing to come to the hospital. Seriously, why didn't you tell me anything?”“Please.” She rolled her eyes. “What could you have done for me? Even my own daughter doesn't give a crap about me.”I sighed, running a hand through my hair.My cousin was one of a kind. The kind who only called her mother when she needed someone to take care of the kids.I had always hated that bitch.“What did the doctor say this time?”“Nothing serious,” I said. “He just wants y
UNDER THEIR RULE Cold silence.
Nadia's POVThe next day came faster than I expected. One second, I was complaining to Tessa about my life, and the next, the time bomb in my life went off.I didn't want to go to school today. I only had two classes, and I had already covered the entire material in those courses. Not entirely, but enough that I could proudly skip the early classes.I couldn't face anyone from the department, so I decided to escape by going to school. But that didn't really help because I couldn't focus.I stared at the whiteboard without seeing anything on it.My phone buzzed under the desk for the hundredth time.I didn't know why I didn't just turn the damn thing off.It was a message from Sheila.I pressed the side button to silence it and kept my eyes forward, trying to act like I was in the present. Like I was in class. But I wasn't. My book wasn't even open.I wasn't writing anything down.Marcus was doing this on purpose. I was convinced he was trying to ruin me to keep our little secret.That
UNDER THEIR RULE Second team leader.
Nadia's POV. I couldn't believe my ears. I should have been proud, but instead, I was confused. And a little scared. The team claimed they have been working ok the project for almost two months, and they didn't notice that little mistake — a little mistake that could have made them lose a lot of money. Shame on them. But I didn't do it to be praised. I just did it because it was the right thing to do. And because I couldn't ignore it. Working on the farm for seven years have given the brain of someone who studied finance in Wharton. “Nadia's going to join the team.” Those words brought me back. I had intentionally zoned out since Marcus started comparing me with the team members. His words were a little insulting, but the team got the hit more. “Boss,” the team member shook his head in refusal. “She's a cleaning lady.” Brother, the more you say that, the deeper your ego falls. He turned to me. “Do you even have a degree? Did you even finish high school?” “I did.” Ge rolle
UNDER THEIR RULE Bad timing.
Nadia's POV.“What do you think you are doing?” my aunt whispered, her voice thick with anger. “Are you that desperate to climb the ladder?”My brows knitted together. “I told you, nothing happened. Nothing was going to happen. It was just bad timing.”“Bad timing?” She scoffed, shaking her head in disbelief. “You had your hands all over your boss. Do not be deceived by his pretty face. Men like that will only sleep with you and leave you hanging.”Too late. He fucked me and left me hanging.“There’s nothing going on between us,” I insisted. “And there’s nothing that’s going to happen. I spilled coffee on him and was helping him out.”“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” She shook her head, folding her arms beneath her chest. “You really are desperate, aren’t you?” She took a step forward. “Tell me. Do you want to quit, or do you want to climb the ladder?”I made sure I understood her question before answering.“Neither.”She raised an eyebrow.“I wasn’t trying to get fired, nor was I trying to seduce hi
UNDER THEIR RULE People like me.
Nadia's POV.I wanted to kill Zane.I spent all night researching the perfect way to kill someone that powerful and bury their soul along with their body.I thought of calling the cops on him, but I knew where it was going to end — nowhere. And it might also end up ticking the bastard off, igniting him to do more annoying things.And telling Marcus about his stepson was like setting fire to your mansion and sleeping in it.My aunt noticed my distress but didn't push. I was glad she didn't, but she kept advising me to forget about Elijah.If only she knew that I was in deeper shit than she could ever imagine. I didn't have the time or luxury to think about some ex.I had applied to be a babysitter for some rich couples. I don't know how Zane found out about it, but I wasn't going to let him stop me from getting that job.I went there with confidence but came back with shattered pride. The couple wouldn't even let me inside their house. They said some people had come to threaten them no
UNDER THEIR RULE What you have on me.
Zane’s POV.I led Nadia to my room. She walked quietly behind me, her steps so light that I had to keep turning back to make sure she was still behind me.Each time our eyes met, her eyes grew wider — in fear — that I feared they might pop out of those little sockets.We finally got to the room, and I turned to her. “The long-awaited time.” I pushed the door open, gesturing for her to get in.She didn’t move. Her eyes still searched mine for some kind of reassurance or safety, but I gave her none.She inhaled deeply, accepting her cruel fate, and walked in. I followed.She turned to me as I closed the door shut.“What are you doing?” she asked, pointing to the door. “Why did you close the door?”I looked at the door, then at her, and laughed. “I don’t leave my door open even when I sleep, and I live alone.” I walked around her, pulling my shirt off. “So it’ll be weird if I leave it open when I have a girl over.”I caught her staring at my bare chest, her eyes filled with lust.I smirk
