A Contract Affair

Chapter 4 Still A Nobody

After sharing a meal with the dog that was kept in the safe house, Maya felt a bit satisfied that she could cool off her hunger a bit.

She knew she couldn't keep on threading this path as she walked into the living room with those thoughts in her head.

She couldn't continue eating half a portion of the dog's food each day to calm her stomach.

"There she is! I caught her in the act" Ysebel spitted out as she pointed an accusing finger at Maya who just walked into the room through the front door, She was coming from the dog house where she went to have half of the dog's meal.

It was almost past noon already.

"Me?" Maya pointed her forefinger at herself in bewilderment as she then turned to look at the door if someone was behind her.

Mrs Lisa immediately turned to her husband "Honey you know how we struggled to lay our hands on those dogs that cost more than her worth, they are worth millions of dollars, and letting them continue to starve is us sinning against nature and humanity,., Your daughter ate their meals, thankfully Our dear Ysebel caught her today, think of the days she might have been doing this without us knowing! She's bad" Mrs Lisa whined and Mr Brock frowned as he turned to his first daughter who was birthed to him by his late wife.

"Maya tell me! Why would you eat the meals made for the dogs? Why? Have you been starved here?" He shouted at her that he felt his veins pop out of his neck.

Maya scoffed inwardly at such absurd questions, she was more angry at the fact that her father had always chosen to turn a blind eye to all the sufferings she had endured for the past years in this house.

Mr Brock pointed his forefingers at her "I have never treated you like trash, I have never beaten you nor said a word to bully you but you-"

"What?? Your act is more than a beating! I have always loathed you right from the onset after Mom died!"

Not only was mr Brock shocked but also Ysebel and Mrs Lisa, could say this was the first time Maya had said her opinion or voiced out such words to her father.

She was always quiet and not someone to say a word even when bullied. She doesn't cry out loud, just enduring with it.

"I was starved, Beaten, And treated in all sorts of manners by your Daughter and your wife, at least with that they aren't two-faced, I got to understand that they hate me by so doing but you are worse....You keeping quiet all these years was much worse!" Maya was panting as she balled her fist in anger, probably because of the hunger and anger that had heightened within her that was making this flow of energy course through her veins.

She knew that after this whole charade that she was pulling off, she was so doomed.

She knew after this episode of her ranting, it's either today she would finally be killed either by hanging or roosting or buried alive, but not after getting a befitting slap. She couldn't escape this.

Tears threatened to fall out of her eyes as she stood there, gazing at her father, the man she had cherished until he turned into a wolf she couldn't recognize...

"You changed so much" That came out as a whisper instead as a tear rolled out from the corner of her eyes, she wasn't seeing anybody except her father at that point.

Lisa and Ysabel were both invincible to her as she concentrated all her focus on the man who birthed her, which was one of the things she doubted for as long as he became this way.

She sniffed in her snot as she smiled weakly while nodding "You choose to be this way because you loath me so much, isn't it?"

"Watch your words, Maya, you have no right whatsoever to question your father in such a tone!" This time, Mrs Lisa snapped at Maya after regaining herself. It was as if she was in a trance all along and now she was back.

She quickly walked towards her husband and stood close to him, Mr Brock could be described as a man who was controlled and brought to reality by the very sound that comes from the lips of his wife.

Hearing Lisa's words, Mr Brock regained his wit and snarled at Maya " What insolence! Maya, You are becoming so unruly and unfilial these days"

"Exactly " Mrs Lisa backed up

"I wasn't referring to you so can you get yourself out of this issue? For f**k sake, I'm sick and tired of you all!" Maya groaned as she cried even more, Ysebel rolled her eyes to the side.

Maya cleaned her tears as she faced Lisa "What was my offense? What did I ever do to you??" She shouted at the last statement.

"That's enough" Mr Brock shouted and silence rested in the tense living room.

"That's enough, I can't and won't condole such attitude of any form of disrespect towards my wife, And therefore...." Mr Brock hardened his gaze on Maya who was panting as sweat rolled down from her cheek to her collarbone.

"From now onward, you are no longer a part of this family! You are hereby disowned by this family, get out stranger" Mr Brock gritted out as he pointed to the door that was behind Maya.

Shock..

Maya was shocked beyond comparison, she had expected a lot, and she had prepared herself for the beatings, slaps, workload but it never came...

Instead, she was blacklisted and disowned by her father.

Ysebel smirked from the back as she watched the whole scene unfold.

Mrs Lisa couldn't describe how she was feeling at that moment, she was so happy but had to control her excitement to not look too vile in the presence of her husband.

"Honey, don't you think it's too much? How about a -"

"You pamper her way too much that she lost her manners and disrespected you...I'm not going back on my words not now, not ever! Maya quickly take all that you possess and use the exit door with immediate effect "

With those words that sounded like a verdict, well it was a verdict but it was from a cruel father.

Mrs Lisa turn to look at Maya with raised brows,obviously in a great mood,she’d probably sleep well this night.

Maya watched as her father walked out of the room as if he hadn't lost anything....

Then, she finally realized when Ysebel said;

"At the end, you're still a nobody!"

"Shame"
