Forcefully His

Emma

"Come on, Emma, we're getting late," Caroline remarked. Emma nodded and approached her, holding a bag. She sat with Caroline in the backseat, passing the bag to the driver.

She closed her eyes and laid her head on the window glass, reflecting on how drastically her life had changed. She was assigned the position of a maid. Yes, as a maid. She just had a few alternatives to pick from. She formerly resided in a hostel. She had previously been living with her abusive foster parents. They were severe in their penalties. Her body was nearly constantly covered in bruises when she lived with them.

After beating her one frigid winter night, her foster father decided to throw her outside their house. The night's coldness pierced her sensitive skin like knives. She was weeping and curled up in a ball when a warm hand landed on her shoulder. Emma raised her eyes to find a woman in her late forties. Her bulging crimson eyes were directed at the woman in front of her, and her gaze begged the woman to help her.

The woman's eyes welled up when she saw her in such a state. She quickly took off her coat and put it over the tiny child. Emma was around six years old.

Caroline Garcia, the lady, introduced herself; she understood it wasn't the best time to tell the young girl about herself, but she was anxious to help her. Emma needed to know she was in excellent hands with her.

Miss Garcia looked for her as if she were her blood, which Emma had never experienced. She was a single woman in her late forties, but her gorgeous blonde hair and grey eyes gave her the appearance of being younger. She reported Emma's abusive parents to the police, and Miss Garcia was ultimately given custody of Emma after two years of struggling and running to court.

After that terrifying night, little Emma finally received the better life she had always desired. Emma had been with her for five years, and it was tough for her to leave her past behind and start over. She had frequent nightmares and panic attacks, but everything was better than it had been before. Emma never sought luxury; she simply longed to live without fear of being mistreated, despite the fact that Miss Garcia could not offer her the most sumptuous living.

Miss Garcia didn't have a profitable profession, and living with her became increasingly difficult as Emma couldn't bear the thought of her working day and night only to feed her thrice a day.

Being unable to pay for heavy expenses, Emma decided to live in a hostel and finish her education there. Caroline insisted on Emma staying with her, but the girl was adamant. She didn't want to trouble her godmother anymore.

Her life in that institution was unknown to everyone, but it changed her as a person. Just like every event in her life. After the shutdown of the institution, Emma went back home reluctantly, knowing Miss Garcia's financial condition wasn't any better, but she had nowhere else to go.

Garcia was happy to have her back, but the sixteen-year-old girl that came back was not the same little girl she had found twelve years ago.

She was different and Garcia could see it. However, she never questioned her.

The announcement of the institution shook everyone as it was really unexpected. Emma wasn't at ease, she wanted to help Garcia, but how?

She contacted a teacher from that school, Miss Will. She was a decent teacher who decided to help Emma out of her miserable situation.
