I recovered really quickly from the fall.I was surrounded by people gazing at me with seemingly worried faces."Are you okay??
"How could you run into the middle of the road like that??
"Do we need to take her to the hospital??
Different voices discussed over my head while I laid on the floor no one cared to help me up.I stood up on my feet dusting some little road dirt off.I was completely fine just some few scratches here and there.I proceeded to leave but was held by the guy whose car had almost hit me.I was really annoyed,I wanted nothing more than to get home quickly,have a serious tete-a-tete with my dad and hit my soft pillow."Are you sure you don't need to go to a hospital?"
"I am completely okay let go of me"I responded In a cool voice even though I was raging inside.The guy however seemed to be looking for an excuse to keep touching me.
"Just let me take you to the hospital and let a doctor decide that hmmm?" He said making me scoff I'd never seen someone in his situation so willing to take responsibility for their actions.Beauty is indeed a great weapon."If you don't let go of my hand in 3 I can't guarantee what I'll do to you.one.two..." he still didn't let go he probably thinks am bluffing."three" I said and landed two heavy slaps on his cheeks.
Unfortunately I only imagined that in my head.I pushed him away instead of slapping him, regretfully.I may not be a celebrity but I had popularity as Scarlett Hills the eldest daughter of the CEO of Golden hills.we were hanging on the edge of a cliff as it is I don't want to be one of the most searched on the internet tomorrow because of something like this.
I got away nonchalantly without looking back and ran into the pharmacy.
"Good morning ma'am.How could we help y------"
"I wanna get morning after pills"I said realizing I was being rude to the middle aged lady by cutting her off.I am so in a hurry who knows if his sperm had met my egg by now?I have to prevent that.The pharmacist lady stared at me blankly for a while "general contraceptives or emergency pills"
"Emergency one" I responded quickly without confusion I knew the difference between both I had assisted in an OBGYN clinic with my aunt more than once.
"We are out of stock on that right now but we have the family plan contraceptive"she explained.
"Oh fucking great!" I marched out of pharmacy in anger.I got back to the cab I'd find a way to deal with that at my aunt's clinic later without her knowing.I was still very tired and the near accident and commotion made my head bang.Finally I saw a familiar floral pattern white gate.Home at last!.
The servants were still around.There's still hope since they weren't fired yet,I thought as I made my way to the large sitting room.My stepmother Anna sat on one of the sofas watching TV with a bowl of chocolate cookies on her thighs her favorite snack.
"Honey you're back!...you didn't come home last night"she said making me smile she pays attention to me also despite me not being her daughter that's to tell you she isn't the typical definition of a stepmother.
I sat down with her on the couch kissing her on both cheeks.
"Mom"I called
"Yes honey?"
"Is it true that dad sold all our cars?"
"How did you find out so soon?"
"From Mr lee,this morning"
She sighed deeply which am sure in regret.
"Your dad's been over working lately.First giving me suspicions that things weren't alright." She briefed me a little on the situation that we were in and it sounds worse than our last personal family recession.
" if he had been serious and not been too lackadaisical things wouldn't be this way all the time we are practically on the edge of extreme poverty at this point.The one thing I detest the most"I replied furious
"You are actually right about the edge of poverty part" my dad's voice said from the spiral staircase.
"Dad"I called standing up to face him as he came down the stairs
"We can get out of this one honey.you will have to help us"He spoked too damn calmly why do I get the gut feeling that he's about to say something that would make me really mad?.
