My Contracted Cinderella

Chapter 12.

So, that was how I spent the night at Mrs. Magret's place. I was given room to sleep in. While I was in bed, I kept on thinking of what I would do when I got back home.

It got to the point where I even started walking around the room. I didn't sleep on time that night. I kept on thinking and thinking and then finally, I got an idea.

It was kind of a stupid idea. But it worked perfectly. And it was that I will not leave Mrs. Magret's place until he comes and gets me.

'What is wrong with me? Jayson will never come for me! But I'll have to give it a try. Because this is the only way I'll know he had a good heart before' I thought to myself.

Finally, I jumped on the bed and I slept. The morning came and I quickly woke up. The first thing I did was that I picked my phone up to check if there was any missed call from Jayson.

But unfortunately for me, there was none. I felt sad. But, I still stood my ground of not going back till he comes for me.

"Hello! Good Morning Mrs. Jayson Hamilton!" I heard from outside the room door with a knock too.

When I opened it to see who it was, It was one of Lala's housemaids.

In their hands, they had breakfast already served.

"It was the order from Mrs. Magret. So you just freshen up and have your meal okay." The maid said.

"Okay. Thank you" I replied as I collected the food from her hand.

I can't remember the last time I had breakfast in bed. I enjoyed myself.

So, when I was done eating and bathing, I went downstairs.

When I got downstairs, I met Lala at the dining table.

She thought I was leaving. I waited for her to be done with her breakfast. So, when she was done, I told her to come sit on the chair in the living room, Which she did.

I explained to her why I had to stay. And she agreed.

"But, you know Jayson can be stubborn at times. We'll just have to pray that he comes for you." She said,

"Okay," I replied.

"So, I'll be going shopping. Would you like to come with me?" She asked.

"Yes. But you know, I didn't come here with any money. So.." I replied.

"okay. Then I'll pay for whatever you pick." She said,

"Ohh. Thank you." I said while smiling at her.

So, we got ready and we left. I picked a lot of clothes.

When we got back, we got information from one of the maids that was shocking.

She told us that Jayson was at the house at the time we left for the shopping.

And then I asked her if Jayson asked after me. And she said No. That he only came to see his Lala.

"Ohh," I said feeling disappointed.

I just took the things I got from the boutique and went upstairs to the room and I slept.

Just then, my phone rang and I was so eager to know who it was that while I wanted to get my phone from the small cupboard beside the bed, I hit my head on the edge of the wood frame of the bed.

"Ouch!" I said as I grabbed my phone.

I was hoping to see Jayson but it was my dad calling.

"Hey dear. How are you?" He said.

"I'm fine dad. How are you? And how is my Nephew's arm?" I said.

"Dear, what happened? You sound upset. Or did Jayson shout at you again?" My Dad said sounding worried

"No, no he didn't. I just mistakenly hit my head on the edge of the wooden frame of my bed, that's all, but why did you call? Hope everything is okay?" I said to ease the tension.

"Yes, everything is fine. I just called to say thank you for the money and to check on you and how you are doing, let me leave you to rest ok my dear," he said

"Ok dad thanks," I said

"Ok bye my dear," he said. As the call got disconnected, I fell on the bed.

And as I lay on the bed, what was going through my mind was that what if he never comes back for me I will be left alone and how will I go back home to my family.

While thinking about it, I felt tears dripping down my cheeks and I was like.

'Why am I crying? This can't be true! I'm shedding tears because he might not come for me? That's so foolish of me!' I said to myself as I laughed.

While thinking about that, I heard Lala shouting my name and I wondered what she could be calling me for. Then I came out of the room and was coming downstairs.

To my greatest surprise, guess who I saw?

I saw Jayson and I don't know why, but I was super duper excited.

To the point that I ran from where I was standing, to hug him. While I was hugging him, I was confused and I came back to my senses and released myself from him and I said out of stupidity.

"Ohh you came to see Lala right?" I said with a disappointing face thinking that I just made a fool out of myself. And that after all the excitement, he came for Lala and not me. And then he replied and said,

"No I came to pick you, my wife, so that we can go back home" and I was like.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes! I am. So, go upstairs, pack your things and let's go ok" he said with a smile on his face and I screamed.

"OH MY GOD!, Lala it worked, you were are right"

"What worked? and what are you guys talking about?" he said with a confused face and I answered.

"Emm. Nothing, we are just so excited that our prayers worked that's all. Nothing to worry about okay, everything is fine okay and I'm going to pack my bags. Just stay right here. Don't change your mind ok" I said as I ran upstairs to get my things.

"Yeah I will be right here waiting for you," he said as he laughed.

"Yes!!" I shouted while going upstairs.

When we were about to go, I said I want to tell Lala something important and I whispered to her ears and said.

"I'm not ending the contract" and she smiled and hugged me and said

"I knew he would come back" and I smiled and we left the house.

And on our way out, she shouted.

"Bye-bye! Love birds, Enjoy your lives."

"Bye Lala!" We both said, in unison.

When we got back home, I was still surprised because, He came down from the car, opened the door for me, and then carried my luggage from the booth of the car.

"Okay. Here we are!" He said as he brought me out of the car.

"Yeah!" I added.

Just like that, we walked inside. He rolled my luggage into the house.

When we got in, I didn't know what to say. Like, I was blank. He was acting weird when he came in. Because the usual Jayson would come home and be angry at me for no reason.

But this case was different, he Came in and told me to sit down. Then he said,

"Bella. I'm so sorry for the way I've been treating you lately. I promise you that what happened yesterday will never happen again."

"Okay. I've heard." I said.

"So. Is this apology accepted?" He asked.

"Yes! It is!" I said while laughing.
