My eyes sparkled at the thought of being paid more than four thousand dollars a month.Wow! I would be able to save up money to start pursuing the case of my wife properly.Even though I know there will be obstacles in the job, I can overcome them, I know for sure.I was getting more excited about the job."How much are you paid now?" I asked when I knew I wasn't meant to ask."Don't ever ask me that." He said as he pressed the car horn.He explained what just happened, I will let him be.Even after Erick's explanation, these past two days were very confusing,but when we headed back to the mansion to rest, my mind was more at ease.Since Erick was done with his explanation, he just drove in silence and I took out my phone to look through my pictures, I stopped at a picture of Dora."Bruce,so you are at work and you are looking at your girlfriend's pictures?"I heard Erick ask from beside me and I smiled sadly.Why can't he just shut up for once, I thought he was ignoring me."Erick."
Erick was obviously accusing me of something I didn't do.I have only stayed in the mansion for a day then stayed in protective custody of the police for two days. How am I the cause of their problem?I don't even want to reason with Erick ,because he is unreasonable and won't want to listen.If Miriam wants to talk to me and hang around me, that is absolutely her choice not his.I turned to Ivan."Ivan ,I don't think you should bother yourself about Erick, he won't even accept it if he did something wrong." I said to Ivan who narrowed his eyes at me.Ivan rolled his eyes at me."Bruce,I don't think you should get involved in matters that doesn't concern you, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Erick and you are not involved in this matter ,if anyone should reply it should be either Erick or Miriam ,so know your place."Ivan said to me with a glare.Woah!Okay !I don't understand why everyone was acting this way, but I rather not put myself in this situation where I will be
I smiled inwardly."I am at the gym,isn't that where we are supposed to work out this morning?" I asked him and I heard him scoff."So you don't need me to wake you up anymore, let me go to the gym and don't find you." He huffed as he ended the call and two minutes later he opened the door of the gym and glared at me.I was avoiding anything that would make Erick say I was not listening to his teachings, I know people like him and I know how to handle them.I was good at adapting to my environment and I know how to handle rude people that only talk down on you. That was how I lived with my Father and his family for all these years. I guess I have to continue gritting my teeth and endure all of these, till I get what I want.Nothing comes easily after all.I snapped out of my thoughts ,when I saw Erick who opened the door and angrily stomped his foot on the floor as he got to where I was standing."Get down and stay in a plank position for twenty minutes." He ordered ,through gritte
I really don't like talking about my family because there's nothing to talk about, should I say they hate me and want me to disappear."Oh Chase is your Father's name, that's interesting." Mr Dominic commented."Do you have siblings?" Mr Dominic asked another question, I wondered why he was asking me this question today.My relationship with my half siblings is the worst, a brat for a younger half sister and a bully for an older half brother.Isn't that a perfect combination that would make one live in a nightmare?"Um...well...It's complicated sir." I replied after a while of silence."I see." He hummed."But you do have siblings ,even if they are not fully related to you?" He asked me."Yes sir." I answered him."How many siblings do you have?" He asked."Two , an older brother and a younger sister,"I told him. I don't know if I should even call them siblings, they are a thorn in my flesh."I am not close to them." I added, I didn't want him thinking I have any family that I can
I looked thoughtfully at Ivan.He must have an ulterior motive for wanting me to go out and buy coffee for him."What are you planning to do in that silly head of yours?" I asked him and he scowled."What did you just say?" He asked me angrily."I came to work and you know that I am the only one driving Mr to Dominic around for a while ,so I will get the hang of working for him,so I need to be at the company all the time, so if you need to drink coffee ,go and buy the damn coffee yourself or you go and make it yourself." I told him nicely as I clicked my tongue in annoyance and continued scrolling through my phone.I don't know why he came to bother me this early morning. I am no longer dealing with Erick's snide remark,now I have to deal with Ivan.I felt a bang on the side of my head and a book fell beside me on the couch, I looked at the book and I slowly turned to look at Ivan who was glaring at me.He threw a book at me?I knew that I should not react to what he did, he was tr
The ringing alarm woke me up.I had to hastily take my phone from the nightstand and turn off the alarm as I groaned in pain. It was five am already, what was I supposed to do?I took a deep breath as I laid back on the bed. I don't know why I woke up with a splitting headache this morning.I had a small fever yesterday ,but I shook it off as if nothing, seeing as the weather was so hot yesterday.I was glad that today was Saturday and it was an off day for us ,so I can rest easy knowing that I wasn't working today, pay day is almost here. I don't want anything to ruin my happiness when I receive my salary.It was still early to request for Miriam to help me get some drugs ,I would just wait till it gets brighter.I couldn't fall asleep again due to the headache and the only thing I could do was to take the picture frame of the image of Dora and I.I looked at her delicate face and admired the dress she was wearing, with a smile on my face.I was about to fall asleep again when I
"Do you know who Mr Dominic is? He survived this long because he put his safety first, people like you that act recklessly are a threat to his safety." Ivan told me.I was annoyed by Ivan's words, but I couldn't do anything about it so he had to keep quiet,since I was already in trouble.I think I made a terrible mistake, I didn't think it through.It was only at the heat of the moment,did I think that headbutting Erick would be the only way to make him pay for what he did.Right now, I was paying the price for headbutting Erick, because my head was practically hurting and I felt as if everything around me was spinning around.What have I done to myself?I held onto the picture frame in my hand tightly as I walked because I think if I dropped it, Erick would step on it or want to ruin it out of anger.The headache became worse as it continued as I walked down the hallway towards the living room, it got to a point I had to walk for support so I wouldn't freaking fall.Even though I was
Erick wasn't done with arguing he was in the right."Bruce must have been doing something that made him sleep late." Erick argued, he wasn't ready to admit he was wrong."What time did you sleep yesterday Bruce?" Mr Dominic asked me."By nine pm I was in bed because I was tired and feeling a bit ill." I answered reverentially and Mr Dominic nodded."You must be lying." Erick barked out in anger."Then should I believe you?" Mr Dominic asked Erick who was taken aback by his words."Sir, I only have your best interest at heart, I just wanted to train him to be the best so he can protect you better." Erick told Mr Dominic who nodded in understanding."I know and I applaud you for putting my best interest in your heart ,but did you forget that I was the one that gave today as an off day for all my workers to rest?" Mr Dominic asked him."I didn't forget sir." Erick replied in a stiff voice.."So why did you go against my instructions and ask him to change on a Saturday? How long has it
