“Yes sir” I replied, turning around.
“Did you like your new school?” I was taken aback by the question but replied anyway.
“Yes I did.”
He hesitated for a while before responding.
“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask me. Do you understand?”
“Yes sir.”
“You may leave now”
I nodded and then exited. I headed back to the kitchen.
“Hannah” Mrs. Smith called out
“Yes ma'am.” She handed me an envelope.
“Your pay for the month.” the envelope was thicker than usual.
“Thank You miss.”
“Sleep well dear.”
Mrs. Smith had become like a motherly figure to me over the months that have passed. She became more caring and loving towards me which made me feel loved.
“You too.”
Walking back to my room, I heard a ding come from my phone. I looked down and saw that it was a message from Lorenzo. I had already completed the task he asked me to do.
I tucked my phone away and decided that I would go to sleep with peace of mind and deal with Lorenzo tomorrow.
I called mom and introduced her to Celine. I also introduced Julie to her and judging by the way they talked, I could tell that mom already liked her.
“Your mom is so pretty. I see where you get that pretty face from and your daughter is so adorable awwwwwwwwwww so cute.” she squealed.
“Lower your voice not everyone needs to hear that.”
“Sorry.” There was a brief pause for a moment before she continued. “When do I get to meet them?”
“What do you mean you just met them?” I asked as I picked out a baggy pink t-shirt with my shorty shorts.
“No, I want to meet them physically.”
“I mean we can go on Saturday since we will get off work early. Oh I just remembered something.”
“Mhmm”
“Sometimes, wear a mask before leaving the house so that my face isn’t recognized.”
“God, what kind of thing is this thing. You have to act like you're some wanted criminal.”
By now, I was on the bed. “I guess that’s what happens when you have a father who is willing to do anything for money.”
“By the way, does your mom know about everything.”
“Of course not. How can I tell her about something like that? That’s crazy.”
“Well I mean you have to tell someone. I can’t wait for all this to be over. I wish you to have a normal life. Don’t worry sister, God is with you.”
“Amen.”
“Come on now, let’s go to bed.”
Recently, we joined our beds together making it look like a queen sized bed.
I went to sleep thinking about what will happen next and if this would finally be the end of all this torture but I didn’t expect it to be over just yet.
