My backstory
My backstory
LISA's POV
It's been a while, right? Well, we have all been so busy with life but I never forgot about y'all my sweet ones.
I was in bed trying to sleep but I couldn't, I could still hear my stepmother's words in my head and those of my sisters, it was ringing heavily in my head, and just then I heard someone call my name from outside and I quickly jumped up from the bed with my hands holding my chest like it was about to drop.
"Ye.. Yes.. I am.. Ah fuck!"
I exclaimed as I stood up from the bed and quickly put on my robe and rushed downstairs. They were seated on the dining table staring at me coming down the stairs like I was some sort of messiah.
'This is all your fault, Mateo.. I wonder why he insisted I come here when he knows how they make me feel here.'
I got down the stairs and flickered my lashes at them with a little smile.
"Have your seat, my dear."
My mother said and she stretched forth her arm like she was about to help an old lady to her seat.
'Okay, what are all of these?'
I tried asking my youngest sister with my eyes but she just looked away.
We were 4 in total and I was the second child.. My daughter died when she was giving birth to me.
"You.. Um, Lisa. You are like.. You are like a daughter to me, do you know that? Ever since your mother died I have been.."
"What is this about, huh? I don't take you as one to give a fuck about me this much. What do you want sherlin?"
I stared her dead in the eyes and she scoffed.
"Always straight to the point, right? You never waste time, Lisa. Well, as you want it then, we'll as you know, your sister.."
She pointed to my youngest sister, Rose.
I noticed Rose kept avoiding eye contact with me and I wasn't sure why.
"Yes, what about her?"
I asked and bowed my head. I just hoped it wasn't something that would piss me off.
"Well, Rose has to return to school soon and there are lots of bills to settle around here, you.. You know that, right?"
I scoffed and shook my head.
I lifted my head and stared at both of them with rage. I only told Rose about the money Mateo sent to me but I never expected her to tell her mother about it. I was pissed and disappointed.
"So.. So, what am I supposed to do.."
"Oh, please, Lisa! You know what the fuck you should do about it! You know! She is your sister and you have a very wealthy boyfriend, so you should be able to solve it.. Right?!"
I stood up angrily and she held my hands.
"We are not done! You will sit down and listen to me! You will sit the fuck down! You stay with him every day.."
"Do not say it.."
"You stay with him every day fucking him.. Keeping his bed warm, the least he can do is give you money and take care of your family, right?!"
"Rose is sitting right there! Aren't you ashamed of saying all these in front of her?!"
I was disgusted and close to tears. I was embarrassed. She literally called me a slut in front of my youngest sister. What kind of mother is she, right? I wonder too! But I blame my irresponsible father too! He did all these and left without a trace. And my eldest brother doesn't give two fucks about them, he doesn't care one bit for Rose and her mother and I do not blame him. Personally, I only care about Rose because only God knows what this woman would do just to get some cash.
"Well.. Rose sees all going on in the house, right? You stay with a man like he were your husband! Are you talking about shame? Have you forgotten when you and your so-called boyfriend were screaming your lungs out when he was fucking you like a cheap slut in his house the other day!!!"
Tears poured down my eyes and Rose ran upstairs.
"Ro.. Rose.. Rose! What the fuck is wrong with you sherlin? That is your 16-year-old child!"
"All I am asking for is money to take care of her.. A guy who fucks you like that should be spending heavily on you or else you are giving that cookie for cheap!"
"Well, sorry to disappoint you, Sherlin, but Mateo and I are in love, this isn't a business deal or some kind of contract!"
She laughed loudly and looked back at me.
"Oh, baby, you are so innocent. Way too innocent, Lisa. You'd better milk that man dry."
"And you wonder why I don't like visiting home? Well, here you have it, Sherlin! Here you have it! You make it so hard for me to come and stay here.. I will do whatever I want with myself, do not worry about me, alright?"
I walked upstairs to my room and shut the door behind me. I fell to my knees and cried heavily. All I had in mind was to speak to Mateo, only he could make me feel good again. I had to talk to him.
I picked up my phone and called him but there was no answer. I kept calling but no one answered the call.
I called Royce the security guy just to be sure Mateo was fine because Michael's number didn't connect.
He answered and when I asked about Mateo he hesitated then proceeded to say he wasn't sure where he was and I knew he was lying.
"What do you mean? Didn't you see him go out or something? Royce, tell me where the fuck Mateo is, right now!"
"Mada.. Ma'am.."
"Royce! Where is Mateo?!"
"The boss.. He has a guest.. He has a visitor. A lady.. Ma'am.."
