I got home and there they were. A mother I shouldn't care about but I do. She gave birth to me and I should be grateful. Her boyfriend Robert is my stepdad I guess. He's been with us for as long as I can remember but he's the worst.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" My mother shouted at me as she asked.
"I'm just trying to help Mrs. Ina." I calmly replied.
"I'M YOUR MOTHER NOT HER!" She yelled now.
"I know but she doesn't have a family. I can't just leave her."
"I don't give a fuk! You're not going anywhere."
"Why? Cause Robert said so?" I chuckled as I asked.
Robert said, "Wow! You hear her. She's laughing at you."
"Shut up, Robert!" My mother yelled at him.
My mother came and slapped me. "You will stay here!"
"I'm not staying here! Your his girlfriend or whatever. NOT ME!" I shouted before running up to my room upstairs.
Robert tried to grab me but my mother stopped him.
"What the hell? You letting her get away with this?!" Robert was pissed now.
"Robert! What can I do? She's an adult it's getting harder for me to make her stay here. What do you want from me? I'm trying!" She teared up as she went to the kitchen.
"If she leaves I'm fukin leaving you. I'm not fukin playing with you." Robert threatened her as she left the house furious.
"ROBERT! NO DON'T GO!"
"APONI! IF HE FUKIN LEAVES ME IM LEAVING YOU!!!" She yelled before leaving after him.
I began to cry on my bed and just let it out. It got dark and I put a chair under the door knob. I packed up my stuff and got ready for them to come back drunk.
My heart beat faster when I heard him yelling at the top of his lungs. "APONI I LOVE YOU! YOU CAN'T FUKIN LEAVE ME! IF YOU LEAVE I'M LEAVING YOUR MOM!"
He began to bang on the door. "OPEN THE DOOR!"
I began to cry again and just waited for it to be morning. He eventually passed out on the hallway floor and my mom probably on the living room couch like always.
I heard a door slam outside. It was the lawyer. I quickly grabbed my stuff and opened the door. I rushed out but Robert grabbed my ankle. I kicked his head hard and ran down the stairs.
"Let's go!" I rushed past him and he turned back to look at me as I got in the back of his car.
"Hurry up!" I yelled and he came back.
"Shouldn't we sign the papers?" He asked.
"I'll sign them but away from here please." I begged as I looked back at the house waiting for the worse to happen.
We went to a coffee shop and he sat across from me.
"Read carefully and take your time." He smiled as he said.
I looked at the contract that was made by Suga.
"Should I even read it?" I looked back at him as I asked.
He chuckled and said. "You should know your rights."
"Do I even have any?" I questioned him.
He just smiled and I grabbed the pen.
"Wait." He said as he slammed his hand on the contract.
I stopped and looked back at him kind of terrified.
He sighed as he said, "I will warn you that he will get revenge on you."
"H-how?" I stuttered.
"He'll be really mean and bad to you whenever he comes by. I know it's not your fault but he won't care. If you're willing to continue then I won't feel that bad."
"Wow. Thanks alot..." I said not knowing if I should be grateful or not.
His phone began to ring.
"Give me a second. I have to answer this." He left outside.
I only read the title which stated. "Aponi Contract/Agreement."
I looked away from it and looked around at the people around me.
"Should I?" I began to question it all. My phone began to ring. It was Robert. I nodded my head.
"Working for Suga won't be nothing compared to living with Robert. His definition of being bad or mean to me won't be nothing like living hell with Robert. I'm not just doing this for Ina but it's for my safety and well-being too." I nodded as I convinced myself to sign without reading it. No rules mattered in this moment.
The lawyer came back. "Oh you signed it already?"
I nodded my head.
"Okay so I have some bad news."
My eyes lit up as I looked at him take a seat in front of me again.
"I won't have you working where Mrs. Ina was working at anymore because there isn't a room available for you to sleep in."
"I don't mind sharing." I suggested.
"Sorry, I meant to say a bed available. Mrs. Ina actually went home but in your case you would stay at Suga's house. I tried to get you where you wouldn't have to suffer under his hands 24/7 but there's not another way."
"Why are you making it sound like he's going to murder me?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
He chuckled. "If you want to back out this is the moment. I can act like this never happened."
"If I do what happens again?"
He pointed at the contract.
"Oh something about going to jail right?" I sighed.
"Since, you are property to Suga now. I don't know if you'll be able to see the people you care about or do the things you love to do. You won't get money but food and shelter will be provided. I don't know if that's something you can give up..."
I thought about it. I wouldn't mind not see Robert again but I did worry about my mother. She couldn't be alone or be without me. I would miss Ina but maybe if I try to be the best employee maybe I could go see her.
"I already signed it."
"Let's go to prison then." He said as he stood up to leave.
"W-what?" I stuttered as I got scared.
"I'm kidding." He chuckled. "Just wanted to cheer you up before you go live in the middle of no where." He added.
We got in his car and it was out of the city. "He lives in the woods?"
"He likes to be alone?" I questioned him.
"You will get plenty of time to meet him." He smiled as he said.
We got off and went to door. When he opened the door. I couldn't help but drool. "Damn this man is fine as hell!"
"Why did you bring her here?" Suga asked with an unpleasant tone.
"Sorry, there's no room for her-" Suga slammed the door shut in his face as he was cut off.
I jumped a little and looked at the lawyer to see if he was okay. He got me really quick out of my nonsense.
He smiled back at me. "He's actually a really nice caring person but he's just not in the mood today." He assured me.
"I don't think he will ever be with me here..." I added.
"My advice just do as he asks and act like a ghost." He got keys to open the door as it was locked. We went inside and there he was in the kitchen drinking water. He glared at me but I just gave him a light smile.
"Come, I'll show you your room." He walked me to it and I looked around. All glass walls except the bathroom.
"What did Mrs. Ina even do?" I asked.
"She was a maid but you will probably do a little of everything. Since, you will be here for life and his only maid." He explained.
"Me and him only here?" I got chills now.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Goodluck, Aponi." He said before quickly leaving.
