Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV.

” I want out!!!” I yelled at Karl as we got into an argument when I woke up and noticed his hands around me; the pain from many years before came rushing back, and I could not believe I was being taken advantage of again. “Well, you can not have it, so suck it in, since I did nothing wrong.” He shot back at me, turning to go get ready for work.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

No matter how Karl tried to explain, I was not ready to listen as i believed he had done the same thing he did many years ago again and was defending it like he did nothing wrong.

” Not again, Not again!!” I said as tears welled up in my eyes. I stared at my nightgown and felt as if something had happened, despite the fact that everything was still intact. ” Otherwise, why would his hands be wrapped around me like that?” I whispered, wondering what had happened while I fell asleep. Since I was a deep sleeper, anything may have gone wrong without my knowing. I could hardly keep my emotions under control as anger surged inside of me.

Karl carried on with his day as if nothing had occurred; he was enraged when I accused him, “But what would you have me do?” Anyone would have assumed the same thing given the situation I met us. We were all wrapped in each other arms and one would think we were lovers or something. And, given my prior experience with him, I could not trust him not to do it again.

I pulled myself together, remembering that I needed to get the kids ready for school. When I entered Selene’s room, she was already up, and Davis pretended he did not hear me when I tried to wake him. He merely stared at me and pulled up his covers.

Seeing that I was not prepared to argue with Davis, I left to prepare breakfast. As I prepared my breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast, my thoughts wondered about what had happened between Karl and I. I could not forgive myself for allowing this to happen again. I felt used and helpless about the situation.” You are so careless Sophie, you should have known better.” I mumbled, angry at myself for letting my guard down with Karl.

Selene slipped into the kitchen without my knowledge as I was distracted by my thoughts. “Mummy,” she yelled out, wanting me to adjust her uniform, but I was so caught up in my thoughts that I did not hear her.

” Mummy are you okay?”she called out again and I abruptly snapped out of my thoughts.”Shit,” I murmured, realising that while I was lost in thought, the eggs were burning. In my haste, I took the pan off the hob without realising I had not taken a hand towel.

The sensation from the burn in my fingers made me realise my error, and I quickly grabbed the kitchen towel to remove the pan. I gasped in pain as I examined my hands, the hot pan blistered my hand. As I glanced at it, it was crimson and hurt so much.

” Mummy are you ok?” Selene questioned as I flipped my hands continuously hoping it would relieve the pain. ” Am fine baby. Are you ready?”You should get some ice on it, mummy.” She added as she left to get some ice. As she brought it, she put it on my hands and turned to look at me. ” Sorry mummy, does it hurt? She asked me as she noticed tears on my eyes. “Have you been crying mummy?” She asked and I hastily wiped off the tears from my eyes. ” No baby, mummy is fine I promise.”

I knew my curious daughter was going to poke me with questions and I was not ready for that. I hope she was satisfied by my response and let me be.

“But your eyes are sore.” She said as she looked at me suspiciously. “Its nothing, mummy is fine!!”I responded gesturing for her to head to the table. ” Enough with the questioning, come and have something to eat before you go late to school.”

I noticed Karl had come downstairs and was headed to work. He did not talk to me, neither did I talk to him too. He kissed Selene goodbye as he left and headed for his garage.

“Is everything ok between you and Uncle Karl? ” Selene questioned, as she noticed how we ignored each other when Karl came downstairs. I was not ready to have that conversation with her and ignored her instead.

” Come have breakfast, Selene. You do not want to be late for school.” I said as I motioned for her to have a seat while I served the meal. ” Where is Davis? I hope he is ready too.” I asked and just when I was about to head to his room, I noticed Davis walked down the stairs. ” Oh, thank goodness, you are here breakfast is served.” I said as I walked to the table to serve him a plate. ” Do you want more eggs?” I asked as I served him because I was not sure what he liked.

“How did you meet my dad? And why are you always up in his room? He asked me, to be candid I never expected that kind of a question and I wasn’t sure what to reply. How was I supposed to explain to a twelve year old I met his father and married him on contract for money.

“Enmmh,”I stuttered as Davis stared at me with rapid attention, and just in Selene answered.” He brought to home when I got lost one day and they fell in love. Right mum? Nodding my head I responded, agreeing with what she had said.

“Yes baby, that right!!! That was how it happened. I added grateful for Selene’s response. Davis looked at me as though he was confused about what I just said. ” That cnt be right; he said nodding his head disagreeing with what we just said. “But dad said you were just the help here.” He responded and I felt hurt. ” Why would he introduced me to his son as a help.” I faked a grin trying to make fun of the situation. I didn’t want Selene fighting with Davis over it.

” My mum is not a help. Get that into your thick skull.” Selene said to him and Davis flared up . “You and your mother are nothing but helps here to clean and cook. You would never take my mum’s place.” Never!!!! He screamed as he stood up, “I do not want your food.”He banged the table angrily as he stood up to go to the garage.

” Davis!!!” I called out but he ignored me. I was in no mood for any more drama so I let him be.

Selene finished with her meal and we headed to the garage together. I dropped them off and watched them hurry to class. As I drove, my mind wandered to the events of the morning. I nearly collided with a truck along the road before I even realised it. I slammed the brakes hard as I snapped out of my reverie.

“You should look where you are going,” the irate truck driver groaned, cursing at me, he seemed furious and did not hide it

” I am so sorry” I said apologically but he did not seem to be having it. “Dnt be sorry, just do the right thing and drive carefully.” He said furiously as he drove away.

I got home and went on with the search for the drive, I looked through all the room but didn’t seemed to find it. ” Was the drive not supposed to be with the camera.” I thought to myself suddenly realizing hat Karl had be fooling me all the while.

The drive had to be stored in the camera. “How was I this foolish?” “Why did I even think it would be in the room?” I questioned myself as I checked the room for any cameras.

I did not find any camera anywhere. I went outside and checked too and did not find any cameras anywhere. ” Was Karl lying about the cameras?” I asked as they did not seem to be anywhere. I got into the room, sitting on the bed I thought of any possibility place the cameras would be but didn’t seem to have any idea.

Just then my phone rang, and when i checked it and it was karl. My heart raced a little faster.

” What did he want now?” I wondered as I picked his call. ” Hello.”
