Alyssa
“ What do our personal problems have to do with their business? You can always find more investors”.I said that wasn't my problem.
He walked over to me and slapped me.
“You're an ungrateful brat. If our family suffers any more losses I'll kick you out of here , I'll disown you”.
“ Dad ? , Grandma. I didn't do anything. You're supposed to side with me. I'm your daughter, Everyone is siding with her. Dominic is supposed to be with me ,Not her . You're supposed to help me and want me to marry someone good and have a good life”. I shouted at him.
“ Ha you don't deserve someone like Dominic. You're arrogant”.
“Collin, please that's our daughter” mom said quietly
“ Shut up. Daughter? She's your daughter not mine. This is your fault both of yours. you've both trained her in the Jaques family rites she has no common sense, understanding or empathy..she rude obnoxious and disgraceful. She has no brain, she's so stupid and stubborn she couldn't even keep her job all she knows how to do is spend and she feels she's entitled to everything. She walks all over people to get what she wants and she would Kill for the things she wants and she'll do it. She Returned from France pregnant with some bastard child and tried to pin it on an innocent man. Which upstanding man and his family would want you for a wife or daughter-in-law tell me. Such a disgrace.”.
“ Collin, do not speak to our daughter that way , she's still young”.mom kept trying to calm him down .
“ Oh shut up , you're one to talk. Young? ,can she cook , does she know the basic?”,
“Why should she when she has servants to do it for her”. Mom said
“ Exactly, you're a waste of space, time and energy, disgusting and despicable as a woman”.
“Dad?”.
This was the first time he has said these hurtful things to me. I looked at my mother and grandmother,they were quiet. He turned to look at grandmother.
” I regretted ever listening to you. Every single day since you forced me to marry the perfect woman I've regretted it. You helped her with your manipulative ways to get pregnant and this is the outcome.
I should have ran When I had the Chance I should have fucking run but I didn't because we made a deal. So this is your mess you clean it up”.
He walked out of the living room. I started crying,he has never once been involved in any aspect of my life.
“ Why does he hate me so much?”
“Sweetie he doesn't hate you”, Mom tried coming to me . I walked away
“ Yes he does, he's never been there for me ever. I might as well not have a father”.
“ Shut your mouth. Cassandra leave us alone for a minute”.
Mom walked out with a forlorn look
“ Listen to me and listen to me my granddaughter, your father does not hate you, he just resents you. He never wanted to marry your mother or have a child but you're here nonetheless and at some point in time he will have to accept that you are his daughter . Now you need to listen to me. You do what I tell you to do and nothing else. Do you understand me?”
“But grandma”
“ Quiet now you leave that bitch to me I will deal with her personally . you will inherit the Jaques family company not your father”.
“ What do you mean? aren't you going to give it to that Dad?”.
“ No, your father has shown me that I can't trust him because if I were to hand the company over to him the first thing he would do is divorce your mother and disinherit you and I can't have that happening. I want you to do something for me. I want you to give me the number of that friend of yours, the one you had to care for that bitch . that is all you're to do is that understood ?”.
“ yes grandmother “.
“ Good now go on back to your apartment, go do some shopping or something ”.
“ okay Grandma”.
I gave her the number and left the house. I was in a bad mood. I headed straight back home once in my apartment. I grabbed a shower while in the shower I heard something fall . I turned it off and listened . I heard something fall again. I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me and walked out into my bedroom, there was no sound coming from my apartment . I walked into the living room and checked the door. It was locked from the inside . I heard my shower turn on what the hell I Marched right back into the shower ,the shower was on who the hell turned it on . I turned it off at the same moment I heard water running. I walked back into the living room and I saw the tap in the kitchen was on. I shut it off immediately and stood in a corner.
What the hell was happening? I needed to get out of here something was wrong . I ran back in and started getting dressed. It was only there that I noticed that my hair was still wet and it was getting my clothes dirty so I grabbed the towel and started drying my hair only to find my hair was falling out. I started screaming what the hell the more I touched my hair it kept falling.
I grabbed my phone and I called Marissa
“ Hey sweetheart are you home, how are you doing?”.
“ Help me”.
“ Oh my God Alyssa what's wrong ?”
“ I don't know I think someone's in my apartment my hair is falling out, I keep hearing things, I keep seeing things”.
“ Okay okay calm down, is your apartment door open I'm coming over”.
“ I'll open it for you”
I Rushed straight out and opened the door and she was standing there .
“ Oh my fucking god what the hell happened to your hair ?”
“ I don't know. I just took a shower and I heard something outside .I came out to check, then the shower turned on itself. I went back and then the tap in the kitchen just came on soI went to get dressed. I just dried my hair and it started falling”.
I was in tears at this point because I had no idea what the hell was happening.
“ okay come on let's go back into the room and I'll try to help you ”.
“ Okay ” she led me back into my room and then we heard water flowing. I looked at her .
“ See I told you I told you “.
we both came back out the tap in kitchen sink was on
“ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ,get them out, get them out, what the hell is going on?”
they're were about 50 spiders on my kitchen counter. They were walking all over the place. I tried to run to the front door but there were more of them there. I ran straight back into my room .when I walked back into my bathroom there were cockroaches and rats all over the place.
“ what the fuck is going on in your apartment Alyssa . Jesus Christ your hair keeps falling out ”. She started screaming
When I stood in front of the mirror I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My hair was gone . The top half of my head was bald and I had patches of hair. I started crying this isn't happening this can't be happening this can't be happening this isn't happening to me.
“ Alyssa calm down .Come now. Come on, let's go to my apartment ”.
She told me to close my eyes and she held my hand and she took me out of the apartment and over to hers .she sat me down on the couch. At this point I was trembling and terrified out of my mind what the hell was going on, who was doing this and why was this happening.
She handed me a bottle of water .
“ Here drink this I'll call maintenance and tell them what's happening in your apartment and let them come up “.
“ Thank you Marissa, thank you ”.
She called but no one answered. She came back to me .
“ Okay listen no one answered so I'm going to go downstairs to the front desk and I think Joe is there I'll speak to him I'll tell him what's happening okay”.
“Please , please , please don't leave me alone”.
“ Alyssa it's okay you're in my apartment. my apartment is clean, nothing's going to happen to you I promise”.
After she left I sat there . I drank half the water she gave me. I sat looking around me and I heard a tapping sound coming from her room . What the hell, I heard water running. I stood up when I followed the sound, her kitchen sink was on. I started to back anyway, no this is impossible. I ran out her front door. I tried the elevator but it was engaged. I used the exit stairs and I started running down.. halfway down I started feeling dizzy .
I couldn't see, when I made it down to the second floor that's when everything became blurry, there was a shadow in front of me . No this couldn't be happening, this was his doing, this can't happen to me I tried to move but I couldn't . I ran but I slipped and after that I passed out.
When I woke up I felt groggy and my mouth was dry. I sat up , I think I hit my head. I tried to feel my head and that's when I realised ,my hands were tied together. What the hell, I tried to stand up and my feet were tied together.. I remember . I ran out of Marissa's apartment , he drugged me , he had called me.
I started looking around,I was in a tiny room. I felt something touching me, when I looked down . I couldn't hold back . I started screaming. I was in a room. There were cockroaches, there were spiders and rats. I started screaming and my entire skin started crawling. I couldn't breathe properly. Why was he doing this to me?
“ Let me out of here now you asshole . I'm going to make sure you pay for this. I will make sure you pay for this one way or the other ”.
