Mirabelle Alexandra Romano, a 17-year old girl who is being abused by her stepfather after her also abusive mother dies since she was 3 years old. Getting bullied in everyday life and getting beaten at home her life could not get any worse. But sud...
I gulped and looked at Vincent nervously. I cleared my throat and said "O...okay how many people are coming?"
His smirked widened even more "A lot." He said looking at dad and Alexander.
I nodded my head slowly and went and sat beside him. He put his arm around my shoulder gently. I relaxed on the couch and laid my head on his shoulder breathing deeply.
I started thinking about how I want to tell them that I want to get a job. I don't know how they will act. I can't just spend the rest of my life doing nothing.
I decided to just tell them and go on with it. I cleared my throat and the talking stopped as they shifted their attention to me.
I leaned forward and started fiddling with my fingers. I looked at dad nervously praying in my head he'd agree.
"So Umm, I was thinking about getting a job." I said looking at the wall ahead of me not meeting their eyes.
It was quite. So quite you could hear a pin drop. No one said anything until dad spoke calmly yet I could see how tense he is.
"Why? I mean, we have more than enough money to last us our entire lives." He leaned back in his chair, pinning me with an intense look.
That's true, I mean they have trillions of dollars but that doesn't mean that I want to rely on them. I want to make my own money and be independent.
"That's true, but I want to, I don't want to be dependent on you and rely on you for everything. Plus I like working, it wouldn't be my first job anyway. You don't have to agree now, but please think about it." I pleaded, hoping he'd get where I'm coming from.
He nodded his head slowly and the three of them glanced at each other. I sighed and looked at my watch. I decided to leave now so I can go to the supermarket and get my stuff before I hat my period. I doubt they have pads in a house full of men.
I stood up and sighed "Alright I'm gonna go, I need some stuff." I said making sure that I have my wallet and phone along with the car keys.
Dad nodded his head and took out his wallet to hand me his black card. I shook my head and moved towards the door. "Dad I have money." I said giving him a stern look which honestly didn't do much.
"Take it." He shook and put the card on the desk.
"No, please dad I have money." I pleaded with a pout which worked. I smirked in victory as he muttered a 'fine.'
I bid them goodbye and started making my way to the lobby. People glanced and pointed my way but I paid them no mind. I walked confidently and made my way outside and inside the car.
Once I reached the supermarket I walked inside and got a cart. I went ahead picked out what I needed. When I went to the cashier there was a woman with a little girl in-front of me.
The woman looked like she didn't have enough and she was panicking. I didn't want to eavesdrop but I couldn't help it.
"I'm sorry baby, but mommy doesn't have enough money right now. How about we get it another time okay?" The woman crouched down in-front of the little girl and held her hand tightly.
"But, mommy you promised!" The girl said, her bottom lip wobbling.
The little girl looked like she's about to cry and she did. Tears streamed down her face. She's co cute and it's breaking my heart seeing her cry.
When it was my turn to pay I bought the doll and put it in a bag. After putting my stuff in bags and paying I made my way towards the mother and daughter.
"Excuse me? I saw you inside and you didn't seem to have enough. I got the toy and would like to give it to you if you don't mind." I spoke, looking at the mother with a soft smile hoping she'd accept it and make the little girl happy.
She looked at me like she couldn't believe what I was saying.
"Are you serious? I mean, we can't accept it." She said, wiping her tears.
I smiled and shoved the toy in her hand. She gave it to her daughter and she smiled so big.
"Thank you pretty lady!" She came and hugged my legs. I laughed and patted her back gently.
"You're welcome." I said as the mother kept thanking over and over again.
After parting ways I went and started driving back home. After arriving I went to my room and took a relaxing shower and changed my clothes. I put my stuff away and just watched tv for a couple hours.
Someone suddenly barged into the room making me jump like a kangaroo.
"What the hell?!" I yelled as I tried calming my fast beating heart.
"Sorry." Gianni said with a sheepish smile scratching his neck.
I glared playfully and got up and followed him to the dining room. We took our seats and started talking about random things. The triplets have two and a half weeks off for the winter so toady was their last day.
Dad suddenly cleared his throat silencing the whole table.
"So, the rest of the family are arriving tomorrow to meet our principessa." He said.
The boys high-fived each other and started talking about their plans.
I became nervous thinking about meeting the rest of my family. What if they don't like me? What if they convince dad that I'm not enough and he throws me away?
I started shaking my leg up and down at a rapid pace. A nervous habit of mine.
Ezekiel put his hand on top of mine and muttered "You'll be fine, they'll love you. Who wouldn't." He said as he muttered the last part.
I looked at him and saw honesty. I trust Ezekiel so I'm taking his word for it. I nodded and continued eating my food.
After finishing we cleaned up the table and parted ways to our rooms. I went ahead and brushed my teeth and did my skincare before going to bed and lying down carefully since I'm still healing. I took painkillers and snuggled more in the covers.
It didn't take long before I felt myself doze off with only a thing on my mind.
'Let's see how tomorrow goes.' With that I was welcomed into the nightmares that were waiting for me.
