1458 Words
What have I done? Dominic took full control of everyone including the kids and they were scared of him. Today he made Mia cry so hard because we were having dinner and she was focusing on her phone. He took her phone away and grounded her, saying she should show respect to everyone when at the dinner table. He also took the video games from the boys and they were miserable because of it. I couldn’t catch a break because he has someone watching my every move, saying it was better this way. Sarah tried talking some sense into him, but that got her temporarily banned from coming over. Jessie wanted to strangle him everytime I called her in tears, but I told her not to because I didn’t want to loose her. I sighed and looked down at my dinner not really having an appetite anymore because of how tensed it was. “ Hailey I have already spoken to Sarah, you won’t be working at the restaurant anymore. Those three days that I gave you to work there is out of the question.” I was so mad at him for taking away my freedom like this. “ but dom....” I started to protest but he held his hand up silencing me and I heard a whimper coming from mia. I looked at her as she was shaking a bit, afraid of what her father might do. “ no buts Hailey. I have spoken now you will follow my orders!” He shouted and Caleb and mason jumped. “ can the kids please be excused Dominic? I don’t think now is the right time for them to be here when you are acting like this.” He narrowed his eyes at me and put his fork down. “ the kids aren’t leaving the table until they finish their dinner. As for you I don’t want to hear your voice unless spoken to.” I was shocked because of how he was acting. My mouth fell open because of his audacity. “ excuse me!? You have no right to speak to me like that in front of my kids!” I shouted and slammed my fist on the table, making the kids jump with fright and cooper running away to find a hiding spot. I had enough of his attitude Lately, if he doesn’t zip it I was going to leave him permanently. “ kids you may be excused from the table, take your plates to your room and eat your dinner there.” They nodded their heads and rushed out but not before giving me worried glances. I smiled at them reassuringly to let them no that I was going to be ok. I got up and took my plate with me so I could give cooper my food. I dished it out in his bowl and sighed because it looked delicious and I couldn’t get to eat it because of the way Dominic was acting. “ I don’t appreciate you disrespecting me like this Hailey. From day one when we met you knew I like control and you’re going against me all the time.” I put my plate in the kitchen sink and glared at him. “ as I said before, I’m not a stupid teenager so stop treating me like one. If you don’t quit with the way you are acting you are going to be sorry.” He marched up to me and grabbed my chin forcing me to look at him. “ is that a threat my love?” I shoved his hand away and loooked down. Not wanting to look in his cold calculating eyes. “ not a threat Dominic. I’m only telling you as it is. Don’t think for a second that I won’t divorce you and take the kids and cooper with me if you continue with this macho b******t.” He started laughing which irritated me. He laughed and laughed, wiping his eyes as tears began forming at the corner of his eyes. “ oh sweetheart, you are so naive. The day I made you mine is the day you got stuck with the devil himself. You have never seen this side of me and I will make sure you get to see it every day for the rest of your life. You and the kids are getting too spoiled. I want to make sure that you know exactly who you’re dealing with Hailey. The devil himself.” And with that he walked away while I fell to the floor crying. Cooper walked up to me and began barking while licking my face and wagging his tail. I sniffle as I looked at him and hugged him. He started to whimper as he lie down next to me. Even cooper could tell that I have had enough. Enough of Dominic and his attitude. I got up and started to do the dishes because Dominic gave our butler some time off so I had to do all the cleaning and housework. So much for marrying a rich guy. I scoffed at myself and wondered when my life took this drastic turn. Dominic said I was to act as his own personal slave, so that’s what I was doing. This was my punishment for leaving the house even though I went to Jessie’s, he didn’t care. I thought I had the upper hand when I left because I wanted to teach him a lesson but it didn’t work of the way I planned. It backfired on me instead. I wiped my eyes and went up to the kids room so that I could give them the much needed comfort they needed. I wanted to leave with them because Dominic was getting out of control and I could tell that it was affecting them. Cooper followed behind me panting away and watching my every move, such a little protector he his. I smiled and rubbed his head as a way of letting him know that I was ok. I knocked and opened Mia’s room door to find her in bed crying and rushed over to her so I could comfort her. “ m-mom please let dad stop acting like that. I d-don’t like it mom please.” She cried and cried until she fell asleep and I felt fresh tears forming in my eyes. I left her and headed over to the twins room to find them asleep. I sighed and kissed them on their forehead and covered their sleeping form. I left and went in search of Dominic who was sitting in his office drinking what appears to be vodka. “ can I help you Hailey?” He asked after I knocked and entered his office. “ yes sir. I wanted to talk to you.” He nodded his head and gestured for me to have a seat in front of him. I sat down and began nervously chewing my lips. His eyes strayed a bit, watching my mouth with an hungry look. “ I wanted to know if there was anything I could do, anything at all for you to stop acting like this. The kids are all stressed out because of your behavior and I’m getting tired as well. Please Sir.” He set the glass aside and looked at me intently. “ you want me to go back to being soft Hailey is that it? When I act soft you tend to want to walk all over me. I allowed you and the kids to get away with everything before, but not now Hailey. I’m sorry but I can’t go back to who I was before.” I fell to my knees and began pleading with him. He was shocked at first but I was going to do everything in my power to get him to leave the kids out of this. “ please sir, please. I-I can’t stand seeing the kids cry because of you. Please take all the punishment out on me but leave them alone I beg of you.” He stood up and marched over to me Then grabbed my hair in his hand and forced me to look at him. “ I’ll be more lenient with them on one condition.” I nodded my head ready to do everything he asks of me. “ when I tell you what to do from now on you listen to me and follow all of my orders no matter how much you might hate them.” I widened my eyes as I listened to his request but quickly agreed with him. I’ll do anything for my kids happiness, even if it means selling my soul to the devil himself.
