Chapter 19

He drugged me and dumped me there. He stole the kids. Mia was crying now. Bella was trying to console her.

I'm so sorry for what you had to go through. It must have been really difficult. Being separated from your kids.. Bella was patting her now

He just wrote; "I will be gone. For so long. Maybe forever! Just live the rest of what you have as life. I never loved you!"..

I was shattered. Heartbroken! After sometime I started hearing my neighbors gossip. They said he left with a rich lady who could not have kids. That his plan all the while was to get kids to give to the woman and enjoy her money.

I had to start life from the beginning. I couldn't get work where I lived. One day, I bumped into Leonel. He was on a journey. I begged him for long before he let me follow him. I wanted to meet Clinton. When I did..mia paused

Clinton was so angry with me. He threatened to wound me if I came any nearer. I begged and begged but he was too pained to listen. He even fought with his brother for bringing me to the house. I had no where to go so, every night I would crouch under the bridge, no food, no water, no clothing, no shelter.

The nights were long. Sometimes I would fight till daybreak...

With who?..

Intruders. They would want to harass me and rape me but I wouldn't let them. I spent weeks without food nor water. A few good Samaritans would give me some food from time to time

Why couldn't you get a job?...

They all had one story or the other. It was either; 'your educational qualifications do not meet our standard' or 'you will have to pay in kind'.

How did you start working for Clinton again?..

At 14, after a long time, he was able to trace back some of his father's friends. One of them was able to help him reclaim his father's properties and businesses. He gradually built his own empire till today. When he came back from one of those journeys, I went to plead but he wouldn't forgive me. His mind was made up.

He traveled back one time and lee saw me sick and begging. He let me stay until I was fine. He told me to clean the house while they were away. That was how I got a job..she smiled.

What did Clinton do?..

Lee explained what my work was and he agreed to let me work...

Looks like lee is calm and cool headed..

Ugh that one? He's got his demons too..

How?

He didn't stick to the agreement. I ate leftovers mainly and sometimes nothing. I wasn't okay with this so I tried to have conversations with them but they're stone hearted..mia added the extra information

Do you know one time he was collecting money from people who wanted to come sleep with me..

And what did you do?..
