*A MONTH LATER*
Mariam ~
I know you might be wondering what happened to me a month ago when I passed out.. Well, the person who saved turned out to be Jett. He came home because he had forgotten something important and saw me unconscious and treated me.
Wondering if love started, a big no, I still hate them and yes, the bullying and abuse has become worse than before and I refuse to go to school as well. I feel really broken, and I don't think I will be able to stand something when I finally get to school.
As usual, I made breakfast for them and Jett smacked my ass and I shook a little, they don't know they are building a monster inside of me and when I get free, I will unleash the beast on them,
I really don't know what kind of being the Golden brothers are but to me, they are demons and I would rather not find out more about them besides who can I ask that will even believe me, is it Dave or Cindy or Elena? None of them.
My grandma, I would have tried to reach and tell her, has not come to look for me ever since she brought me to work for Herndon.
I have a belief grandma will be back by now, maybe she thinks coming here to see me might distract me from work. I will forgive her and go to her, potentially I might get a chance to get free even if I lose my chances of going to school.
I wore a black gown and covered my hair with a black scarf as well and wore my easy wear, I was paid my salary as promised for working, but I can't spend it all, I need to save a little, so I just took 100 bucks, it should be enough for me going to visit grandma and also returning to the Golden brothers.
I know you might be asking, why don't I run away now I have some money with me, well, the truth is, I tried doing so last month as well, but I was caught, I tried again, but it's like the Golden brothers are always there to catch me and bringing me home and raping me until I pass out sometimes they beat me to lose consciousness, so there is no point trying to escape anymore.
I entered the taxi and was brought to the very house Grandma and I moved in when we first came to Dranovile, I knocked at the door,“Grandma, it's me Mariam.” I said when I heard a female voice.
Who could be the lady? Is someone looking after grandma since I was no longer around, or is she related to grandma?
The lady opened the door wearing a smile, saying,“How can I help you?”
“Where is grandma? Tell her, her granddaughter is here.” I replied with a smile.
“Sorry, you got the wrong house, just me and my husband that live here and there is no grandma here.”
“What are you saying, this is my home, grandma and I moved in.” I felt like a crazy girl already.
“Are you confident this is your address? Oh! You must mean the old lady, well, she rented this house to us saying she needed to leave but if someone should come looking for her, I should give her…. Hold on, let me get it.”
My grandma gave out this house and left? Where could she have gone that I have no idea of?
I must be dreaming, the lady returned, giving me a box and a letter.
I opened the letter, and it says,“when you turn 18,please accept this as my gift, I hope it helps you until then.”
What is happening? Should I wait until 18 to open this box or what? Grandma, why did you leave me with those ruthless brothers, why? I missed you grandma, please come back to me, don't abandon me.
I cried sitting on the floor outside the house, I was like a baby that lost her way and bearing in life, I had no one to cry to.
“Mariam, Mariam,it's really you.” I heard Dave's voice.
I quickly wiped my tears off and faked a smile,“Hi Dave, being a while.”
“Mariam, I have missed you so much, where have you been? Come here.” he said, hugging me and I felt so comfortable in his arms.
“What happened to you? You stopped coming to school, I couldn't reach you, if I knew your place, I would have come to see you, even Cindy is so worried about you.”
“Nothing happened.” I lied.
“Are you confident? You look so pale and lean, you know what, let me buy you lunch, so we can talk better.” I nodded, going with him to get lunch and no matter what, I should never bother him with the hell I am going through.
I entered his car and he drove to a fancy restaurant. He brought the chair out for me to sit and they took his seat. He ordered food even when I told him I didn't feel like eating.
Remembering I am the victim and being caged by the triplet, I feel so empty inside, I cry day and night with no one coming to my aid. How can I eat food? I stopped eating because my life is completely over. I don't get to have a boyfriend like other girls do, I don't get to go on a date with someone or go shopping with the man I love. I don't get to participate in some adventure and true kiss with romance, they stole my life from me.
“Mariam, are you okay?” I didn't know I was so lost in my thoughts,I faked a smile.
“I am fine.”
“So let's eat.” He said with a smile and took a bite from the seafood but I just kept looking at the food.
“Okay, if you won't use your hands to eat, I will feed you, from today on, you are my little baby.” Dave just called me his little baby, the first time I heard something nice.
“Open your mouth, wide, wider.” He smiled at me and I allowed him to feed me, it feels really impressive to be pampered and taken good care of.
“Mariam, are you crying? Did I do something wrong?” Dave asked, I couldn't even control my tears, I felt so ashamed, I needed to leave now, I stood up saying,"Sorry I need to go.” Dave dragged me to himself and I rested my head on his chest then he caressed my hair saying,“What did I tell you earlier, you are my little baby and when a baby cries, they are calmed this way.” I burst into more tears.
TBC…
Do you think Dave is sweet?
