Chapter 1: Scorching sun.

They say that a poor man has no say in how the world treats him.

I didn't want to believe it and wanted to stand firm on my belief, but life doesn't always work out the way you want it.

Life always slaps you in the face with a sickening reality.

The sky was bright and the scorching sun burned the skin of the man, who was tending to the garden.

I was that man, disregarded and unwanted.

I shouldn't be out in this hot sun for any damn reason, because it was literally burning my skin ,but the madam of the mansion, my dear mother in law, was dissatisfied with my earlier work.

She practically yelled at me to get out of the house ,she said I didn't do a proper job tending to the garden, so I had to redo it all or I won't be allowed to eat this afternoon in peace and I knew I won't have peace of mind today, I couldn't afford to let that happen, since I just wanted to go to my room and rest.

I was so focused on trimming the garden that I didn't pay attention to the scorching sun or the sweat beads that formed on my forehead, nor did I pay any mind to the sweat that ran like water, from my neck down to my chiseled abs.

I paused for a second, as I wiped the sweat on my forehead with the hem of my shirt went up, revealing my lower chiseled abs and a maid gasped.

I turned to her , thinking something bad had happened, however I was not surprised that she was just looking at his body.

I scoffed, I don't know how this woman can be this shameless that she doesn't know when to stop. I dropped my hand and the hem of my shirt dropped back to its original position and I continued to work.

"Please just leave and don't act like a creep." I mumbled to myself.

I silently prayed that the maid would just walk away, without making me feel uncomfortable,but that wasn't going to happen.

"Oh my look at those abs ,they are to die for, I want it." The maid exclaimed ,but I ignored her.

I wondered why she would only say things that made me uncomfortable.

Can't this woman understand her words sometimes creeps me out?

"Don't act so silly , you are lusting after our young lady's husband, have you forgotten he is just twenty four?" Asked another maid who walked closer to the flustered maid.

"Well, I don't mind." She giggled childishly, I sighed and decided not to pay any mind to her.

She was always like this, complimenting my looks and body,even when I didn't ask for it, sometimes it made me feel uncomfortable.

"You are thirty eight years old , get your mind out of the gutter." Hissed the second Maid to the flustered maid, as she dragged her away.

"Besides, what good is having a good body ,if you don't have money?" The maid scoffed, as she dragged the other maid away.

I ignored their words and continued trimming the garden.

I understood the words of the second maid. 

I had good looks that caused others to get envious ,but this world they live in does not care about good looks, it only cares about how much power you have and how much money you have.

I finished tending to the garden , I smiled in approval as he looked at my work.

"She will certainly not complain again." I mumbled to myself.

I went and dropped off my gardening tools in the storehouse, before heading to the main door of the mansion to go inside and take a bath.

I was exhausted and a bath would make me feel better, because of the sun.

Woah!

It burns.

I pushed the door open and took two steps into the house, when I heard a loud scream and I flinched at the sound of the voice and slowly turned my head to look at the owner of the voice.

"Oh my goodness! how can you stink and want to come inside this mansion, you look disgusting and smell badly ,get back!" Lisa , the youngest daughter of Mr Harry's family yelled at me.

Lisa had a look of disgust on her face, as a deep frown was on her forehead, she used her hand to cover her nose and mouth ,so that she wouldn't breath in the toxic smell that was coming from me.

I looked at her puzzled, because the only thing I could smell on myself was sweat and I wanted to take a bath to wash it off.

"Why are you screaming that way? I only wanted to head upstairs and take a bath." I informed her ,as I wanted to walk towards the stairs.

"Get out of the house!" Lisa barked at me, but I ignored her.

She acts silly at times, how does she expect me to get out of the house?

"Help! Who is there ,he wants to kill me! Save me! Save me!" Lisa screamed at the top of her lungs and I stopped and turned to her with a surprise expression on my face.

I wondered what nonsense this girl was spilling with her mouth.

I just wish that her tongue will swell so much that she won't be able to scream with her stupid mouth.

As Lisa was screaming and calling for help, two bodyguards rushed into the living room to see what was going on.

Lisa's mother, Mrs Harry, also rushed downstairs to see what was happening to her beloved daughter.

"What's going on here?" Mrs Harry asked her daughter Lisa ,who ran towards her side and pointed at me.

I bit my lower lips in frustration, I wish I could squeeze the mouth of the girl, she says the most ridiculous things.

"He smells mommy, I told him to leave the house and he refused." Lisa complained to her mother who glared at me.

Oh gosh!

From one problem to another.

"Get out of this house immediately, I don't want to see you here!." She yelled at me, as her face crawled up in disgust.

I was a bit taken aback by her words and wondered why she didn't even ask me what was wrong, before telling me to go out of the house.

I looked at my mother in law and then Lisa.

Birds of the same feathers, Mrs Harry would not care to listen to me, her beloved daughter is the only one she cares about.

"Mother..." I tried to say and I saw her face slowly crawl up in disgust at me calling her mother.

"Shut up your stinking mouth, you rotten fool, I am not your mother , I can never be the mother of a poor and broke ass man, Lisa told you to get out of this house, so get out this instant!" Mrs Harry cut me off and yelled insults at me and my face dropped.

I sighed and wondered what I did, to deserve all that name calling.

I just wanted to take a bath, to wash off the sweat on his body and get refreshed.

"Why are you both standing there looking at him, if he refuses to leave, drag him out of this house!" Mrs Harry, who was blinded with anger, barked orders at the bodyguards.

The bodyguards pitted me, they looked at me with pity eyes as hesitated for a moment, but they still needed to do their jobs or get fired ,so I don't blame them.

The bodyguards rushed and grabbed me by the hand, before I could speak and proceeded to drag me out of the mansion and toss me outside the door and slammed the door shut.

I was tossed outside and fell to the ground,I sighed audibly as I bit my lower lips wondering why they had to be so cruel.

I wasn't even arguing with them , I didn't do anything wrong, I just wanted to take a bath and all this happened. 

I was about to stand up when he heard me laughing behind me.

"Have you decided to visit your lowlife friends on the floor?" I heard a mocking voice.

 I turned and glared at him.

Goodness of all the time for this moron to see me, it had to be when I was tossed outside the house.

I won't hear the last of this and he won't stop making fun of me.

"Don't glare at me with those eyes, I might poke them out for you , if you no longer have use of them." The blonde guy who was laughing at me threatened ,as his face became serious.

I looked at the man from head to toe sizing him up with an angry expression on my face.

I took two steps closer to the blonde guy and then I saw a familiar figure coming from behind him and I paused in his steps and exhaled sharply,trying to calm the anger in my heart.

The familiar figure of a gorgeous lady cat walking towards me and the blond guy made a smile formed on my face ,as the lady came closer.

She was just free inches away from me walking towards me.

"My love..." I said with a smile ,as I tried to touch her and she slapped my hands away, cutting off my words and gaining another laugh from the blond guy.

I was embarrassed that she slapped my hand away in front of this man and then she decided to add salt to my injury.

"Wash your filthy hands, before you dare touch me again." She warned me ,as she opened the door and slammed it shut.

The blond guy laughed at my expense and proceeded to head inside the mansion.

None of them would be asked to leave even if they smelled like shit that why I felt like I was at the bottom ,because I had no money.

What can I do to get this money?

Should I leave from here?
