Sofia POV
I tried to make myself scarce as my foster family was having their breakfast but they still found a way to ruin my day.
Right. Let's start with Edward Bentley, the man of the house.
He owns the third largest car dealership in the state. He's one of those people who have gucci toilets but never uses them, they just have them because they can. I don't hate Edward. He has never really paid attention to me that much and I prefer it that way I just hate the fact that he's a total kiss ass when it comes to his wife because everything he has, its all thanks to his wife's family, so yeah, he makes sure his wife is always satisfied.. You know the saying, Happy wife, happy life.
Secondly, there's Rachel, you have met her earlier. Edward might be the man of the house but everyone knows Rachel wears the big pants. As I mentioned before, everything they own belongs to Rachel's family. She comes from the fifth richest family in Suncity. She met Edward when she was a sophomore at university. It was a mistake judge of identity, really. Rachel had thought she had found herself a rich, handsome hunk, not knowing he was on scholarship.
By the time she realised the truth, she was already pregnant with their terror twins which I will get to soon.
So in order to cover up the shame and disgrace that had been brought by their daughter, Rachels's family married her off to Edward. They paid for everything and it was a perfect wedding. They even gave their useless son-in-law, who had ended up losing that scholarship, by the way, a company as a wedding gift.All was in name, of cause. I mean, even you wouldn't give an unexprienced person a job mich less a company to run, would you?
Last but not least, Allen and Alice, the terror twins.
They are a year older than me. Alice never misses an opportunity to remind me I'm a mere servant in that house. She is the type of persin who pours a bucket of water on my head just because I'm not doing anything at all. She spends all day on her phone, doing those tic tok challenges, showing unnecessary skin to any handsome face. I don't have to tell you the amount of condoms I have cleaned up in that woman's room. I guess everyone wants a pice of that sweet ass, which she has, by the way. Alice has a perfect body, even I can't deny her that. Paired by her hazel eyes and blonde hair, she's a sexy goddess.
Moving on to Allen. He's much like his sister. I remember when he turned eighteen, he tried to make some moves towards me and I shut him down. I spent the next two days locked up in my basement with just water and a slice of bread to survive. When I told Rachel and she did nothing about it, I learnt my lesson then. He tried a few more times and sometimes I would get a few kicks for refusing.
He only stopped after I threatened to go to the police. Since then, things quieted down and have been since then. I just try to avoid him at all costs.
I went to the dining table where Rachel had called me.
'You called?' I lower my head because I know whatever it is she has to say, it's not good.
'Mr William is coming to dinner today.' She cut a big piece of steak and thew it in her mouth. 'Dress nicely.'
I just stared at her. She has never let me show my face when her guests are around, much less, to dress nicely.
I knew something was wrong but I decided to let it go. ' May I ask why?'
'No, you can't. Just do as I say.' She stared back to me as if daring me to say something to piss her off.
'Okay.' She went back to her steak and I took it as my cue to leave.
As I was making my way to the door, Alice let out a sarcastic remark. 'Oh mum, where do you think she would get a nice dress?'
'You will find something for her.' Rachel's tone was serious when she replied her. Alice mad a face but didn't say anything afterwards.
Evening came a lot soon than expected. Today Rachel had let me use the bathroom I have only entered when cleaning after other people. I found a dress and some flats on my bed when I went back to my small room. I quickly made myself presentable.
'Money is good, don't you think?" Rachel asked as she entered my room. She gave me a head to toe look before nodding her head... in approval, I presumed. 'You actually look pretty.'
I sensed a little mockery in that tone.
'Thanks.'
Rachel turned all serious as she stared straight into my eyes,
'Don't embarrass me out there, because if you do...' she wiped invisible dust off my shoulders, '... well, I don't have to tell you what will happen, right?'
I just nodded my head and a sinister smile formed on her lips. 'Good. Now, let's go.'
I followed Rachel upstairs and found rhe family and Mr William already seated at the table. I was about to make my way to the kitchen when Rachel suddenly stopped me.
'Sofia, where are tou going? sit down.' She said in a sweetest voice that made me look at her as if she has grown two heads. Okay. Something is definitely up.I can't go back now.
I slowly walk towards her and she holds up a chair for me. 'Here, come sit next to Mr William ', she still had that stupid smile on her face.
I looked around the table and everyone was behaving like a normal, loving family. Even Alice was smiling at me, at least she was trying to. I looked at the man besides me and I couldn't hepl but feel disgusted at the weird look he was giving me. Then it hit me.
These motherfuckers!
Were they trying to set me up with this ancient copse. I always knew they were evil but this is a new level.
I sank down in my seat and I felt Mr William turn to me.
' You look lovely,' he brought his face close to my neck and I immediately backed away.
Wait. Did he just sniff me? ' Smell good too.' I felt the urge to drive my fist through those fucking teeth.
' So Mr William, you like what you see?' Rachel brought my attention to her as she asked Mr William. I looked at her, trying to plead with my eyes not to deal with but she turned a blind eye.
'Yes, very much so. you didn't tell me she was this pretty.' A rough hand landed on my thighs and I jumped from my chair. Everyone stared at me like I'm some crazy person.
'Can someone tell me whats going on?' I tried not to sound too angry. Rachel gave me a death look before turning to Mr William, completely ignoring my question.
' So we have an agreement, right?'
'Yes, of cause. I will bring the money tomorrow. I had to see the goods first.'
They continued to negotiate, everyone eventually joining in, like I wasn't standing there. Mr William bid farewell to them before turning and whispering harshly into my ear,
'I will be back for you tomorrow, my sweet.' He placed a small kiss on my cheek before heading to the door.
I sniffed away the tears that were threatening to fall down.
I had just been sold off like some piece of property.
