You Are Mine

Chapter3

As I woke up in the morning the first person I saw was my father who was patiently sitting and waiting for me to patiently wake up and recover from my drunk self.

“Cecilia Dear, how are you doing? I did not like the state in which you were brought home last night.” I have always told you not to make your emotions get the best out of you. Get up and go into the restroom,I have already prepared breakfast.

After I took my bath and got dressed up, I went to the dining room where I sat on the chair and he then served breakfast for the both of us. He then sat In Front of me, eyeing me suspiciously.

I looked down while eating my food.

“Will you tell me?” He finally said.

I looked at him nervously laughing and I asked “what are you talking about Dad?”

“You know what I am talking about okay”

“I don't think I understand what you are talking about.”I said, trying to act innocent.

“Don't you dare act innocent Cecilia.”

“I am not trying to act innocent Dad.”

“Don't even tell me that your first was that Lake. CECILIA I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU.” He then raised his voice.

I clutched my chest with wide eyes.”Dad s-stop,are you planning on giving me a heart attack?”

He then pulled my arm and glared at me”was it actually Lake?” He asked me in an extremely angry tone.

Gulping really hard I shook my head as “NO”

“Then who was it?”

“Tell me, was he handsome, young,tall?”

“Will you stop?”Nothing of such has happened,Dad Please keep your calm.

“Can you pass me the newspaper over there?” I asked him. As I was going through the pages of the News paper I saw an advert for a job interview that would be scheduled tomorrow by the MacManus Enterprise.

“Dad look what I found here”

“What's that?”

“ I just saw an advert for a job interview that will be held tomorrow and I think I have met the qualifications of the job. I think I will give it a try.”

“Are you sure about it?”

“Yes Daddy.Do not worry we'll finally be able to save up for the house p*****t,your medical bills and treatment.”

I'm so sorry that I have to put you through all this stress. I am meant to be the one providing for you and not vice versa.” Daddy said.

“It's nothing Dad, if this is the only way I can support you,then I will gladly do it.”

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Speaking of the next morning, I was already freaking out.*I actually hope everything goes perfectly well. For the past few days my life has been a big mess. I really need this job.

Finally I reached the MacManus Enterprise , I looked at the company,it is very huge and it is of high standard. I then went in, I saw a lot of people already waiting for the interview, I sat down on one of the chairs and waited for my turn. Every lady that was seated there was busy with their makeup, hair or dress. I think it's just me that is dressed very simple.

“I am sure that someone among them will get the job before it is my turn ”I said quietly to myself.

I noticed that as any one who entered for the interview, came out with a sad look on their faces. It was finally my turn to enter for the interview,the lady called me”Miss Jean” please can you come inside? I nodded and rose up from my seat,I followed her inside. My eyes first roamed all around the office.

Woah! Everything here is so cool here.

Then my eyes fell on the person that was sitting on the chair.

WHY DOES THIS MAN LOOK FAMILIAR?

FUCK!YOU ARE SO DOOMED!! CECILIA.

WHY?

My eyes widened

Wait.He is—

Yes he is

Hell no!f**k! I already know I am not getting the job now. I started biting my lips out of nervousness. I think he noticed that and I just kept standing there like a statue.

He then told the lady that called me inside to postpone all the other interviews.” I think I'll have more time for this one.”

At this point my eyes where already wide open, widened more now

But why?Why does he want more time with me?

I don't know. The smirk on his face looks so evil.

“Yes sir.” The lady answered and left the office.

He then looked at me again, smirking”Do you remember this face?” He asked me

“I do sir,I am really sorry for what occurred the other day sir”

Holding the file in his hands,he cleared his throat and said “you should not be nervous considering the attitude you displayed.”

He then got up from his seat and made his way towards where I was standing. He stood extremely close to me, my breath hitched by the closeness.

Before he says anything,I think I should give an explanation to him.

“I am really sorry for what had occurred the other day. I am not usually like that, I am not what you think.”

“Save your explanation for another time”He said with an extremely dark tone.

“ Can you give me one valid reason why I should give you this job? Maybe this time you'll embarrass me Infront of my employees. At this point it's only God that knows what else you'll do. I can't risk my child's life by giving you the job to someone like you.”

His child? He is a father?

I don't know but listening to him, I could feel my heart aching.

“I promise,I will never do that again, I will take good care of your child and I am not like that. I know I gave a bad impression on our first meeting but I promise it will never happen again, please I really need this job, please sir ..”

“Tristan MacManus”He said

“Yes sir Tristan”

IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW, NOBODY STEPS ON MY TOES AND GOES SCOTT FREE. ALWAYS USE THIS AS YOUR DAILY REMINDER.

“okayy..take note it is not because of your pleading that you are getting this job and remember to have it at the back of your mind that I have not forgiven you. Anyways you are hired.”

“Really? Thank you so much sir” I said with fear in my heart.

He then adjusted his coat and put his hands into his trouser pocket still standing right Infront of me.

*There are some rules I would need you to follow so that you do not make your atrocities increase “

“What rules sir? I asked him”

“Rule number One: you will not lay a finger on him no matter the circumstance or his offense. If you do and I get to know about it, you'll face the worst. Number two: you will never disturb my privacy. Number three: There are some prohibited areas in the house where no one is allowed to go ,do not ever try to dare me. Number four: You'll never take him out of the house without my permission or supervision. Other rules will be communicated to you as time goes on. I hope all the rules are clear?”

“Yes sir Tristan," I replied.” What is the timing of my work?

“It will be from 8am to 9pm everyday except Sundays and your salary is $2,000.

“My eyes widened “ I felt instant joy around me.

“When do I start working?” I asked

“Tomorrow sharp 8am better be on time or be ready to say goodbye to the job.”

He then handed me a note as I was about to leave the office,which had his house address

“Ha! Finally I have a job now.” I exclaimed.
