My Bully is My Slave

Facing Demon

Eve woke up panicked as she immediately turns left and right only to find her girl laying beside her. Althea was lying sidewise , supporting her head on her left hand admiring the sleeping beauty Infront of her.

When she realised the horror that covered Eve's beautiful brown eyes she sits up hugging her "What happened baby ? Did you had a nightmare ?" She asks rocking their body gently.

"It feels like a dream Al, meeting you , falling in love with you, separating from you and to find you all over again. I feel like it's all just a beautiful dream and when I'll wake up It's all gonna be over .

Just the thought of you not being beside me every morning scares me" Eve says tightening her grip on Althea's body possesively.

Althea chuckles feeling proud and happy by her girlfriend's confession "It's all real Eve. I was lost before but you found me and we found happiness together" She says kissing her forehead.

"Let's get ready for work babe. We have been missing out a lot lately. Can't risk getting fired now " She jokes trying to divert Eve's mood from shadow of their past.

They take shower together and have their usual morning breakfast , pancakes with coffee. After helping each other get ready , kissing goodbye and locking their tiny home, they leave for work together in their bicycles side to side.

On the other hand , Susan woke up grumpy with a headache. She takes out some headache pills from her table drawers that's beside her bed. Swallowing the pills with water she glances at her huge round bed that has her girlfriend lying butt naked with her blonde wig.

Susan pulls off her wig gently without disturbing Gina's peaceful sleep. Her fingers gently brush the blonde hair as she remembers her mere encounter with Althea at a distance few days ago.

" Finding you was my fate , Meeting you again was a luck, destroying you will be my destiny Miss. Althea Jordan.

Forgive me if I can't move on because people who settle with small things are those with weak hearts and I was born with huge empire ready under my feet. None's gonna live happy life ever after walking all over me just like that" She says walking down her bed.

A golden silk robe covers her glamorous body as she tightens it's rope , catching her phone she dials a familiar number

" Good Morning Dad , how have you been" She says to the person on other end.

"Let's spare both of us drama little one. We both know how much you hate me with passion. So let's get straight to your point, what do you want from me ?" Her father asks.

" Very well father, I like this thing about you , always straight to the point. So here's the thing , i want your Saman cement factory totally under my control" She says lighting her cigarette, blowing off the first smoke with a puff.

"Any specific reason ? Not that i have a issue because everything is technically yours after me." He says giving a deep thought about Susan's sudden request.

"Well i do have a issue with some people working under the company, they are giving me hard time focusing on learning my work.

I don't want to share anything with you on why , how , when so either give it to me or I'm leaving for a big vacation tonight......and trust me I won't be back until I'm done with my world tour"

Susan smirks of silence on the other end because she knows her father's weakness. At this stage of life he needs both of his daughters handling family business.

Samara has always been mature enough to walk into his foot steps but Susan was a rebel , she was hard to please and tame.

"Okay fine. It'll take a day for me to pass power of attorney to your name. Just keep your steps glued within the city and company.... you're not taking any vacation unless it's work , deal ?" He asks seriously.

"Deal"   Susan says ending the call. She throws her phone in bed with a satisfied smile on her lips. She turns on her coffee machine , preparing a fresh black brew to celebrate her victory.

Opening the huge velvet curtains of her room she embrace the beautiful warm sun rays. Fresh air of morning breeze pass through her , making her tighten her grip on her robe. She admires the beautiful view of city standing at her balcony.

Her gaze focused on specific part of city which is covered by tall high sky scrapers " You'll soon serve under my feet pet" She mumbles smiling to herself at her devious thought.

Meanwhile at Cement Factory :

Althea is busy breaking the huge limestones and delivering conceretes from field to factory using loading machines. Her healthy active body graced her with enough strength to follow such tough work.

There were only few womens who did such hard labor , mens admired her strength and willingness to go such extent. They paid her well enough to have a decent life. Althea was having similar income to a desk assistant employee in big office, the only difference that separated their lives was a mere graduated educational certificate.

A man comes running on stone mine field shouting Althea's name who's using her entire strength to handle drilling machine. She turns back turning off the machine , wiping her sweat with hanky " Hey man what's up , what do you want? " She asks a little out of breath.

"Supervisor is calling you in his office. Right now, I'm filling in for you meanwhile" He says walking past her turning on machine. Althea scrunch her brows in confusion but doesn't find any excuses for being called just like that.

Knocking at his office door , she keeps taping her feet on floor feeling nervous and anxious , as she remembers Susan. She's the only conclusion she came up with for whatever absurdity is going to happen with her. "Come in" She hears her senior's voice.

Walking past shiny glass door that's covered with white curtains , She is welcomed by a sad looking manager , seated on his huge comfy chair. Guilt is written all over his fine face , his dilema on how to fire one of his finest employee without any proper excuse.

Althea understanding his conflict well , just smirks removing her gloves and asks "When ?" He gulps drinking a glass of water before saying "Today will be the last day you're gonna work for us, I'm sorry Jordan , there's nothing i can do about it"

He says giving her a file which contains all her personal details, certificates, fired letter and last paycheck which is worth for the whole month.

"At least you were responsible enough to pay me for my monthly salary by firing me in mid of a month. It was nice working with you Rick" She says slamming her worker id in his desk.

She turns around one last time upon reaching at his glass door " And it's funny that you think that I'm gonna work after getting fired . My mood is ruined , you know me " She says slamming door hard , creating a huge crack on glassy door frame because of impact.

Rick decides to say nothing because he knew her well. She was a deserving hardworking employee and his friend that he often hung out with. He tried to reason with HR for her when he received the bad news but there was nothing he could do except pleading which went unheard to hierarchy.

At evening Eve's face lightens up upon hearing sound of door bell. She hastily leaves her curry on gas , lowering down the flames to greet her girlfriend.

'She's 15 minutes early today. Great i can make her taste my new curry' Eve thinks taking off her vaguely dirty yellow apron. Unlocking her door she instantly jumps in Althea's arms

"Welcome back my baby" She says embracing the person without even looking at her properly. " Thank You , But I don't think you're mature enough to be called my mom" Says a unknown voice making Eve freeze in fear and embarrassment.

She immediately push herself away , maintaining safe distance from this unknown stranger Who's holding a sarcastic smile on her face. "Who are you ? And what do you want ? I don't think i know you" She says trying to remember the gorgeous lady at her doorstep.

"Oh you don't dear but Althea does. My name is Susan Merchant and I'm here to meet her." She says letting her inside without asking Eve.
