"Let's change the topic." Reba said.
"Am sorry Reba, but you have to leave now. I have work to do." Mia said.
"At least let me stay and play games over there, please...." Reba pointed at the sofa begging like a little kid.
"Okay fine." Reba went to the sofa and happily started playing games on her mobile phone as Mia worked. It was getting dark, and soon Reba was asleep and Mia had to close for the day. She completely forgot about Reba on her sofa, and locked the office.
"Here are my keys.' She told the receptionist and left her workplace. When she got home, Becca was in the bedroom drawing a picture.
"Becca darling, let me see what you are drawing." She knelt beside her, and her heart broke into a thousand pieces.
"L...L...Liam, this...this drawing looks just like..."
"My daddy!" Becca yelled.
"But how are you so excellent at this?" Mia had no words.
"Well, i just imagined, i last saw him two years ago, when i was four. Why did you hide him mama? Tell me the truth. Is he in the cupboard?" Becca said opening the cupboard. Mia pulled Becca to the floor.
"HE'S NOWHERE!"
"Why are you saying that to me!" Becca started crying again.
"For how long will you shed crocodile tears over a man that doesn't love you!"
"Daddy loves me mama. And i am not a crocodile." Mia wore a short smile.
"Becca. Daddy hates us."
"DADDY LOVES ME AND HATES YOU ONLY! HE LOVES ME SO MUCH! HE BUYS ME CHOCOLATE, ICE-CREAM AND YUMMY BURGER! YOU JUST HATE ME SO MUCH THAT YOU DON'T WANT ME TO EAT THOSE DESERTS ANYMORE! LEAVE MY ROOM YOU BADDIE!" Becca spat at Mia as she started to cry uncontrollably. Mia left her room in tears. She ran to her own bedroom and started destroying things. She saw her wedding picture and tore it into shreds, crying on the ground.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH BECCA! WHY DOESN'T SHE WANNA UNDERSTAND?"
********************************************************************************
Mia moaned in the room, as the pain increased. Her bed was scattered and soaked with blood, her hips seemed heavy, and she tightened her grip on her stomach. Liam barged in and went towards her. He slapped her hard.
"I'LL SHOW YOU HELL!"
"You...you...you.." Mia tightened her grip. He dragged her from the bed and took her to the living room. There, a skimpy dressed girl sat winking seductively at Liam. Liam smirked at Mia and threw her on the ground.
"Who's this filth?" the girl asked disgusted.
"She's my maid."
"Alright...Come on here babe..." She smiled as Liam went towards her and smashed his lips on hers. Mia groaned as he attempted to undress the whore right in front of her.
************************************************************************************
"My whole youth was devoted to that crap a man and now, he's somewhere having fun with sluts, while i suffer with my little girl. I will kill him when i see him and i will never open up to any man, again." Mia vowed as she pulled the sheets close to herself.
The next day, was said to be a busy day in Starry Textiles. It was the marketing month, and it was Mia's turn to market. She opened her drawer and there were many fabrics inside. She put them all in her handbag and went downstairs. She was wearing a red flowery gown, and her blonde hair was in a ponytail.
"BECCA!" She called her daughter, as she ran out of the room in her black and white uniform and red backpack. She lifted her and gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek. She then placed her on the dining chair, and fed her cereal.
After breakfast, they walked outside to the garage and Mia drove Becca to school.
"Woah, you're early." Mia smiled.
"My friends are here!" Mia got down and opened the door, and her little Princess flew out happily.
"Good morning Mrs Salvatore."
"Oh....Good morning." Mia greeted and hastily ignited her engine. The teacher watched her drive off as she received Becca who ran towards her BFFs.
Mia got to her workplace and she immediately ran to her boss's office.
"Why are you late?" Her boss asked.
"Am sorry sir." She apologized and her boss shrugged.
"Sit." Her boss offered her a chair and she sat waiting for him to speak.
"Well, there is a billionaire textile company that wants to buy our textiles. The CEO said he loves the quality, and he loves our progress as the years go by. He wants to have more in his store, especially the flowery ones, like the one you are wearing. So, you are the perfect person to deliver those fabrics to him, since you are the only fashion designer among us here. The rest are just laborers." The boss explained and Mia sighed.
"I appreciate it sir. Thanks so much. But i don't think i'll be able to go there."
"Why?'
"Mr Xin is coming for the import trade today, and i don't want impromptu. Am sure the laborers can take care of the CEO of the millionaire company. Mr Xin's wife Zhao Chen is not a very patient woman, and she won't even speak English." Mia complained.
"Okay then. But Mrs Addams...."
"Miss Salvatore." She corrected.
"The CEO might give you something you'll never imagine. With the money, you can give Becca everything she needs, and might even be your own boss."
"Thank you Mr Wang. But am okay with what i get here."
"ARE YOU INSULTING MY ORDER? Hah, You must be stupid. AM NOT REQUESTING YOU TO DO THIS, AM ORDERING YOU! IF NOT FOR THE YEARS YOU'VE SPENT HERE, YOUR HONESTY AND LOYALTY, I WOULD HAVE FIRED YOU ON THE SPOT!" Mr Wang roared.
"am sorry. I didn't know it would get you so angry." Mia was apologetic.
"You're always giving me that puppy face!"
"Okay fine, i'll do it." Mia said as Mr Wang burst into giggles.
"Shut Up!" he yelled laughing as Mia smiled. Her boss was so silly. She grabbed her handbag and left. She opened the door of her office and gasped. Someone was crying inside.
"REBA?" Mia burst into a fit of laughter. Reba jumped and hugged her.
"YOU LEFT ME IN THE OFFICE! YOU'RE SUCH A CHEAT but i still love you." Reba pulled her in and closed the door.
"So, what did you eat?" Mia sat.
"I had fun in your office anyway." Mia opened the fridge and was shocked.
"Where are my drinks?"
"In my belly.' Reba smirked and rubbed her belly. Mia took a pillow and threw it on her.
"YOU WITCH!"
"Wow! Who made this pillow." Reba stared at it.
"Me of course." Mia turned on her laptop smiling.
"Its nice. Can i have it?" Mia gave her a death glare.
"Yes??"
"You can." Mia replied as Reba did a happy dance.
So what do you think about the offer given to Mia?
Who could the CEO be?
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
