Ella's POV
"Davis". I called out but he didn't listen...
"Now you see what you've caused". Ray said and Leonard chuckled.
"Make me something to eat". His friend said.
"Sir?". I asked, surprised.
"I said make me something to eat". He said again and I looked at him shocked, the audacity.
"I only take orders from Mr Ray". I shot back and he stood up angry, who is he to order me?
"How dare you?". He asked, annoyed.
Ray scratched his hair. "She's right, it's rude to order her around" He said and I smiled though still surprised.
"But you order her around". Leonard reminded me.
"That's because I own her, I own her life"
He replied and I felt hatred for him.
I can't remember when this man created me to own my life… he truly have gut
I was starting to build up the urge to beat this fool and run with Davis but I was already joyous having someone like Davis by my side.
******************
Ray’s POV
"Sir, you called me". She said as she entered my room.
"Here's your new list". I said and handed her a new list.
"Just ten tasks". She screamed happily
"Yes, I reasoned that you aren't a robot after all". I said and she was happy.
"But will my salary be intact?". She asked and I smiled.
"Yes, I'll increase it". I said and she looked surprised.
"But you won't still eat tonight. Have you taken Davis food to his room?". He asked.
"Yes, I want to go and check on him, sing him a bedtime song until he falls asleep". She said and I smiled.
Ella's POV
I knocked on Davis' door and he quickly opened the door for me and I entered with a smile.
"Hi". I said and he smiled.
"Hey".
"You should apologize to your dad tomorrow, you were kind of rude today". I said and he nodded.
"What happened? You haven't eaten?". I asked, noticing his plate.
"I know you're hungry, come and join me, let's eat". He said with concern and I smiled
"No Davis, you need to eat, you're still a child". I reminded him
"And you're still young". He said and I smiled and sat on the bed.
Such a gentle, caring young boy, I said and he smiled.
I took the first spoon and fed him gently
"Wow, you're such a great cook. I enjoyed your pancakes and now the fried rice is awesome". He commended me and I blushed.
"I love you Davis, I wish I was the one who gave birth to you". I said and I noticed a drop of tears fell from his eyes on my hand.
I looked at him shocked.
"Did I say something wrong?". I asked
"Do you love my dad?". He asked.
The question took my back a little bit, I looked at him with shock and confusion. How could a four year old kid ask this kind of question? I had to think of a casual but convincing response to reply him
"I like your dad". I simply said. How could I love a man who mistreats women and makes them feel worthless... How could I love someone who wants me to undertake 50 tasks within a day? Am I a machine or a robot? Never
"I know why you don't love my dad". He said.
"Why?". I asked with a grin.
"Because he makes you feel worthless". He said and I stood up shocked. Now, I'm starting to think this boy here in front of me is a wizard... Should I call the cops?
How did he know my mind?
How did he use the exact same word I used in my mind?
"You're starting to seem weird". I said and he smiled and asked why.
"How did you know that he makes me feel worthless? Your reasoning is the same level with adults". I said and he blushed.
"I just happen to know, placing myself in your shoes, I don't know about love but I feel I can't value someone who makes me feel worthless". He said and I smiled and took his hand.
"Don't worry, it's you I love and I'm going to make you feel that motherly love you never had". I said and a drop of tears fell from his eyes.
"What's wrong?". I asked.
"I wish you were the one who gave birth to me". Davis said and I felt hurt and sat on the bed.
"Davis, God has a plan for everyone on Earth, he had a reason for making your mom leave you when you were born, he also has a reason for making me set foot in this house". I said.
"You might be the one to change my father'' he said and I smiled.
"Do you know that the day you found me outside your gate, my parents disowned me". I said and he stared in shock.
"That means we're almost the same'' He said and I shook my head negatively.
"Your father is rich, my parents are poor". I said and he nodded.
"Time to sleep dear, I'll continue tomorrow morning". I said and left the room.
Davis's POV
I looked happy as she left the room.. She is perfect for my dad, she is excellent, just too perfect, I'm grateful she came into my life
Why wouldn't dad see it?
I held my Bible and knelt down.
"Father Lord, please help my dad to love Ella and know that she is the perfect one for him
With his hatred for women, I know you're the only one who has such power to love Ella
Thank you Lord
For you've answered my prayers". Amen
