Truly Yours のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Jessica'S POVIt's now been a couple of hours, and I'm so tired. My legs feel like they're about to give out any second. I finish the last table and go lean on the counter. I sigh and close my eyes for a minute. Then Martha comes up to me."Darling, you look tired; why don't you get your stuff and go home and rest?" She suggested with a soft smile."But Martha there is still a couple of people left." I said, trying to convince her to let me stay, but she wasn't having it."It's okay, hun. I'll take care of it, and anyways, your shift ended hours ago. You always stay overtime; you need rest, my sweet girl." She said."Are you sure? You know I don't mind staying; I love working here." I asked to make sure."Yes, honey, it's okay. Now go get your stuff; it's getting late. I don't want you walking late at night." She replied. I nodded my head and went to get my bag and put my work stuff away. I said goodnight to Martha and Jerry and started my way to hell.As I was walking, I had a feeli

I took a breath and opened the living room doors; immediately all the yelling and shouting stopped as soon as I stepped into the room. You see, the very first thing I taught my sons was respect. Respect is very important in general but more important in the underworld. People need to respect you for you to be powerful and strong. Although my sons and I are extremely close, they make sure to never disrespect me or their elders; there are always boundaries. But if a person hurts their family, then it doesn't matter if they are old or young.Family should always come first no matter what and I made sure to engrave that into their minds: 'prima la familia.' It is our motto, and we will always live by it till we take our last breaths.I enter the living room and look around to make sure that all my sons are there. And sure enough, they are all here. Everyone has confused faces except Camron and Pedro, who are looking at me emotionlessly, but I could see the curiosity swimming in their eyes

Jessica'S POVOnce we were in the air, I looked around, and everything looked expensive. From the floor to the seats to the ceiling, everything screamed 'rich', and I couldn't help but gawk at everything. Everything was so shiny I was afraid to touch anything."Do you like it, princess?" Asked Raul."Yeah, it's really pretty," I said. I looked outside the window and watched the white fluffy clouds. I started thinking of how my life changed so fast. I must have been too lost in my thoughts because I felt someone put their hand on top of mine. I immediately pulled away and looked up and saw Raul and Barry looking at me in shock, confusion, and concern. "What was that, princess?" asked Raul. I looked at Barry and saw he was waiting for me to answer.I never liked physical contact, especially when it's not initiated by me. That basically happens when you are getting beaten every day by your mom and stepdad. I will never be able to tell them what happened to me. They won't want me anymore,

Jessica's POVAfter we all sat down, the aroma of food hit my nose and filled the air. But, instead of feeling hungry, I felt nauseous since I'm not used to smelling a lot of different kinds of food and because I'm full since I don't eat much.But what gave me more of an excuse not to eat was the food itself. Fish? I'm allergic to fish. It kills me. Even the smell is upsetting my stomach. The long, big dining table was filled with many different kinds of fish. With different types of salads and appetisers."Alright everyone, this is our first dinner as a whole family with our new member. Welcome to the family, princess." Said Raul, and the others nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's dig in." Everyone soon started plating their food and chatting.As everyone began eating and talking, I just stared at the empty plate in front of me. I can't find it in me to tell them that I'm allergic, not that I'm hungry anyway. Even if I do tell them, they will be mad at me and hurt me even more than

Jessica'S POVI woke up the next morning with surprisingly no nightmares. I am saying it's the bed since it's so comfy and soft. I was too tired to even have a nightmare or think about anything.I yawned reached my hand to the nightstand and reached for my phone. It was an iPhone X, yes I know what you're thinking. How can you afford such an expensive phone when you're poor? Well, I had to work double shifts at the cafe and get another job. Once I had saved enough I bought it and and made sure to hide it from John.I checked the time and saw it was 7:00 am. Huh, I woke up late, well because I always woke up at 5:00 am to make John his breakfast and clean the house. This is the first time I woke up at this time.I put my phone down and tried- keyword tried to sit up, but I immediately laid back down from the intense pain in my whole body. I can't even breathe. It feels like a thousand knives are stabbing me.I tried again very slowly and steadily to sit and after a while, I succeeded.
