Poor Slave Girl : Peterson Series #1

I'm here now in the garden because I want to rest. I rolled my eyes at the beautiful flowers, the sweetness of the feeling. I lost all my tiredness. I approached a tree and leaned against it. I looked up and watched the flying birds. I just smiled because they didn't seem to have any problems as if they didn't care about the hardships. “Heaven! I've been looking for you for a while now," Skyler said breathlessly. Skyler is my only friend. " You know that I always hang out here when I'm tired. Why is there a problem?" I asked him in surprise. "Nothing," he said and moved to the side where I was leaning. " Huh? What do you mean nothing?" I'm wondering here. Because she doesn't go here without a reason. "I have a job offer for you, if you want it. It's fine if you don't want to," he said raising my eyebrows. " What job?" I will ask. "In the house of the Peterson Family," he taunted with a smirk. "And what am I going to do there?" I doubted here, and my crazy friend was smiling that you couldn't tell if he was going crazy or something. "It depends on what job they give you. Do you agree? Maybe this is the right way to make your life better," he said convincingly. "But what about Mom and Dad and my siblings? You know I can't be separated from them." I'm worried about the question. "Don't worry, it's for you too," he said. I thought that I need money for Mama's maintenance, but can I handle not seeing them every day? I don't think I can. But that's also a shame, we will definitely be able to pay off the debt if I agree to Skyler's offer. "Ahem!" I looked at Skyler. I'm still having second thoughts. "I know it's hard. Heaven, but you have to face the fact that you won't survive if you don't make a way, Tita and Tito are getting old and they can't work anymore so you as the eldest child. You will create and think of a way for you to live. Heaven, think about this carefully, it's a waste of my offer. Oh! That's all I came here for, I need to go first, maybe they're looking for me, Mommy, I just ran away. Just call me if you accept my offer. Bye!” It's a long line, I nodded to him in response. I looked up again and looked at the birds, I wish, I was just a bird so I wouldn't have any problems. The weight in my chest that I didn't even experience to live abundantly. What if I accept Skyler's offer? " Sister! Sister! ” I was distracted because I felt that someone was waking me up. I opened one of my eyes and my youngest sister looked at me, “Hm...Why? I'm still sleepy,” Maliyah Mackenzie is the youngest of our siblings. "Eh, because, I heard the conversation between you and your friend yesterday in the garden. Is it true that you will work there?” he said, I was silent at his question. "I don't know yet and I haven't told mom about that yet," I answered. " Stay here, don't go there," I frowned at what he said. "And why him? That's a shame, don't you want us to eat something delicious? And then you can buy the ones you want," I said. " I won't have any allies here, you know you're my only ally. You know Ate Amanda is grumpy," he said, and I suddenly smiled. "Because you're so naughty, that's why Amanda scolds you," I said, she snorted at what I said. "Don't act like a duck," I laughed and said to her, I could see from her that she was annoyed so I even grinned annoyingly. Someone knocked on the door one after another, Iyah and I looked at the door and Amanda spat out. AMANDA MCKENZIE She is the second of the three of us. "What are you doing here?" it's a straight question. "We're not talking about you, sister," Iyah teased, I just winced at the two of them. It will definitely fight again. “ Really? ” answered Amanda. " Yes why?" Iyah said back, because Amanda's forehead suddenly questioned what Iyah said. I have come between the two of them and maybe 'where else will their conversation go. “You two are grown up and you still fight. Don't fight in front of mom!" I admonished them both, I saw them both nod. "Oh, come on, go downstairs, check on mom, and serve breakfast, I'll go to sleep first, I'm still sleepy," I lay down and was about to close my eyes, but not yet Amanda is leaving. "Is there a proble-" I didn't finish what I was going to say when he suddenly threw a pillow at me. b***h! I lay down again and I closed my eyes little by little and sleep completely engulfed me. I was distracted by the noise of the dog, I got up and started moving my bed. And after going out and going downstairs, I saw them watching TV so I went to the kitchen to get some food. I looked at the bag of our rice, it's just a little bit, it won't last for a month. We will definitely borrow again. I got a dish and rice and sat down to start eating when suddenly someone knocked. I looked at the door, I saw that Iyah opened it and she spat at dad. "DAD!" we said together and ran to Papa's place. "How are my children," dad said with a smile. "It's okay, Dad, it's still beautiful," Iyah exclaimed. "Dad, why did it take you so long to come?" Iyah asked, and I looked at dad. "I was just in traffic, children, so dad took a long time. But I brought you food. Eat now," he said, handing us the food that dad had brought us. "Thank you papa" the three of us said. My two brothers took the lead. " Oh, this is yours hihi," she handed me a chicken thigh. I took it and went back to the table and started eating again. It only took a few moments and I was done. I put away what I ate and then I went back to the living room. I saw them sleeping soundly. I suddenly smiled. Skyler's offer came to my mind, I couldn't separate from them. No.... I can't do that... "Hello, Mrs. Elizabeth! " I heard someone calling my mom outside so I quickly went there. An old man appeared to me, I think he was the same age as dad. "Hello!" "Iha, is Mrs. Elizabeth there?" it asked with a smile. "Yes, what do you need from mom?" I'm wondering here. "I'm not going to bother you anymore, just tell your mom that you haven't been able to pay the rent in the house for four months, if you can't pay by the next month, maybe you need to find a new place to rent," he explained. "A-Ah okay, I'll tell Mama," I replied, how come we don't have enough money yet. "I'll go first, that's all I came here for," I nodded in response. Where will we get money if I use my savings, Mama will not have money to buy medicine. I thought I should probably accept Skyler's offer, I know it's hard, maybe I'll be separated from them now, I'll accept it just to pay for the house. I went inside and saw my mother standing on the opposite side of the window. He must have heard what the old man said. I approached Mom. "Mom! Are you alright?" I asked worriedly, I was worried that his illness might attack him again. "Mom, I have something to say," I guess I have to say that I'm going to work. "Skyler offered me something yesterday, Mom, the salary is big, I thought that if I go there, we will pay off all our debts," I said, but Mom still didn't say anything, "And I will get to study. Amanda and Maliyah, we won't suffer anymore," I continued. Mama looked at me, I saw her tears. s**t! Heaven, you're stupid. What I hate the most is mom crying in front of me. So before I started crying, I hugged him. "I know it's hard Ma, but it's also a waste of my opportunity to work there. I will visit mom. Don't worry please Mom, I hope you will agree," I felt Mom caress my hair. "There's nothing I can do, Heaven, if that's what you want, I can only advise you that no matter what happens, don't get involved in trouble!" he explained making me smile, because I thought he wouldn't agree. "Yes, promise!" I said smiling. I am now in the room packing things because we are leaving Manila early tomorrow. I remembered what dad said earlier. *** FLASHBACK *** "I hope you don't regret this, Heaven, you don't know the Peterson Family," papa said worriedly, I was confused by what papa was saying. Does he know the Peterson family? " Do you know the Peterson Family?” I asked papa here, papa didn't answer me, instead he hugged me. "Be careful, Heaven." he said, I hugged back. "Yes, I promise." **** END OF FLASHBACK **** I looked at what I was doing and saw that I was about to finish fixing things. As soon as I finished, I put my bag next to the bed. I lay down and was about to close my eyes when my phone rang. I looked to my right where my cellphone landed and Skyler's name appeared. I took it and answered. "Hello! Heaven, I told Auntie that you agreed to my offer, Auntie said you will just drop by there tomorrow," he said. "Alright, as long as you promise me! Fulfill that," I assured. " What are you! I don't hope so!" he said. "Just making sure." I think. "Go ahead and go to sleep, Oh, when you see your future boss, you're sure to drool," he laughed. " I don't care what he is. That's why I agreed to pay our debts," I promised. “Oh! Don't finish talking. Heaven, just look. Just call me tomorrow when you get to Manila, bye be careful," he said. "Bye!" I said as I hung up. I closed my eyes and completely fell asleep. TOMORROW... I woke up to the sound of my cellphone ringing, it turned out that I had set the alarm. I'm still sleepy. I got up and did my morning routine. An hour later I was done. I was wearing jeans shorts and a plain white t-shirt and I put on the shoes that were a gift from dad. When I finished, I carried my things and went downstairs to find them in the living room, "Good Morning," I greeted them with a smile. “GOOD MORNING!” I covered my ears at the loudness of Iyah's scream, did he swallow the microphone, this kid is really annoying just being so close to me. I saw him smiling so I approached him and hit him, "OUCH! OUCH! why are you kicking me because you are hurting so early in the morning," he blurted and I just struggled and I went straight to the sofa and put my things there. I looked to my left and looked at the clock at 6:09 am, aunt Martha was the only one I was waiting for. "Heaven eat first and you're going far away, you might get hungry in the middle of the trip," Mama said, I smiled at my mama and came closer to her, "Ma, be careful, don't go too far tired, you know your body can't take it anymore," I said with a smile, mom smiled back at me. "Don't worry Heaven, I can take care of myself, and your two Sisters are still there," said mom with a smile. I turned to Amanda and Iyah. "You two don't fight anymore!" I preached to them both. I saw Iyah nod, I looked at Amanda, that b***h, Tss. I sat down and started eating and when I finished I got up and went back to the living room I turned to the clock that it was 6:35. Just a few minutes later, aunt Martha also arrived. I was just amazed by the beauty of his car, it looks like it will be loved, could it be his? But I know he doesn't like expensive cars. "How are you, Elizabeth," I turned to look at Mom and Aunt. "I'm fine Martha, I heard you're rich," said mom and they kissed. “It's just going to get richer. Oh! Heaven is here, the size you were when I last saw you was seven years old," said aunt and came closer to me. Aunt hugged me then we smiled, "We have to go first, Sir Liam is definitely looking for me," she said, I looked at mom and she nodded at me. I said goodbye to Amanda and Iyah that we will go first. "Be careful Martha, watch over my Daughter!" "Don't worry Elizabeth I won't leave Heaven," aunt said. Aunt Martha turned her gaze to me, she smiled at me and helped me get inside the car. I looked at their behavior, mom, I smiled at them and said, "I LOVE YOU..." no voice came out of my mouth but I know they understood that, when I said that, it was at the same time as my tears fall. I never thought I would be separated from them. But I can do it just to give them a good future. A FEW HOURS LATER we pull up to the big house Skyler says is probably the Peterson family house. "Heaven, listen to me, don't do anything that will make Sir Liam angry!" Tita preached to me which shocked me, what aunt said made me nervous. "Why is Sir Liam so grumpy Auntie?" I will ask. "Ma'am, Sir Liam is looking for you," I looked at my driver. "I'll go first Heaven, don't worry you won't get lost here because there are many helpers scattered here inside the mansion don't be shy to ask questions, I'll go first I'm sorry if I hadn't been called I would have come with you," She had a long line, I just nodded to aunt. I went down and took my things, I looked around, there were many helpers scattered around, others were doing their own things and others were preaching. "Hello! Sir James is calling you," I nodded to the woman who approached me here and she showed me the way. While walking, I looked around because the flowers are beautiful, there are many kinds of flowers, I suddenly felt better. When I really see a flower, my sadness disappears. Flowers really take away sadness. "He's here, Sir James," I looked at a gentleman who was not too far from my papa's age, but this gentleman looks young, I feel like he's over 40+. " Iha, what Martha is telling is true, you have a very beautiful eyes, heaven. By the way, I'm James Peterson," he said smiling, "And you?" "Uhmm... Heaven Mckenzie," I said shyly, bowing and closing my eyes in fear. "Dad! Why are you sending me here? I still have a meeting with the company," I raised my head and I was relieved because he was so handsome. "Don't shout Owen we have a guest it's embarrassing if you behave like that," Owen is his name and I bowed in shame because he turned his gaze to me. "Who is this?" he said while looking at my body. "He was the one Martha mentioned to us the other day." said Sir. James. Sir Owen nod. “Heaven, meet my son. Owen Peterson is the second of my son.” he said, I nodded and turned his gaze to Sir. Owen. " So be nice to him Owen," Sir James said with a smile. “Mckenzie...I think I've heard that last name. By the way, I need to talk to you Dad. I have something to tell you," he said and looked at me again. "All right, let's talk in my room." I was relieved that Sir was no longer looking at me. Owen, I saw Sir James take a sip so I looked at him. “ Esmeralda! Take Heaven to her room," that's all he said and left. "Here we are," I followed him, I looked to my left at a family picture, my eyes caught the one next to Sir Owen, I think he is his brother, they don't look too far apart because they are they look alike. This one's aura is cooler than Sir Owen's. I continued walking and we stopped in front of the door, I think this will be my room. "We're here, I'll go first," I smiled at him and nodded. I opened the door and the beautiful things were revealed to me. Wow! Is this room really mine? I looked around the room, I came to the window and looked at the outside of the house. I put my things down in a corner and I went to the cabinet where there were clothes placed by whom could it be? I opened a cabinet again and I saw the hanging hangers, but there were no clothes on them. This is where I will put my clothes. I started to organize my things. A FEW MINUTES LATER I finished putting away my things and I looked at the door where the clock was hanging it was 5:02 pm. I felt tired probably because of the long trip. "You are now my slave. You will obey everything I command. Never do anything that will make me angry if you don't want to be hurt. Do you understand?" I quickly nodded. A smile appeared on his lips. "I will introduce myself to you. I am Liam Peterson and you are?" he said. I swallowed twice before speaking. "Heaven Mckenzie p-po," I said shyly. “Very nice name. Mckenzie hmm ... I think I've heard this before," he said while rubbing his chin. I was confused earlier Sir Owen said that too. "You can leave now," he said. I turned around and walked to the door as soon as I got out I breathed a sigh of relief. I went to the room and looked at the clock it was 7:56 pm. I was feeling hungry, I was planning to go down because I was still shy, maybe later. I lay down first and closed my eyes, I remembered Sir Liam's face, he looked scary, but when you look at his gentle face, your fear will disappear. ' Oh! Don't talk about it, Heaven, just look. Just call me tomorrow when you get to Manila bye be carefulI. I opened my eyes remembering that I was going to call Skyler, I quickly took out my cellphone and immediately called Skyler's number. "It's good that you still remember me! Auntie called me a while ago that you have arrived there and you just called now?" I sighed and said. "I'm sorry I forgot," I said. " What's the news there? What's the news? Is your boss handsome? ” I was tormented by the absence Said that Skyler. I grinned at the thought of something silly. "Do you know he's so handsome and that's the size of his muscles," I said HAHA, he must be thinking. "Who are you talking to? And I am the one you are referring to....Huh? ” I was surprised to turn around at the door and saw Sir Liam standing. "A-ah, No Sir, I'm not talking about you," I bowed in shame. "Hey! Who is that? Is that-” I immediately hung up the line. I looked at the door where Sir Liam was standing and I swallowed when he still didn't take his eyes off me. He raised an eyebrow. When I realized what he meant, I immediately took action. He went down first and I followed. I saw him go straight to the dining table and sit there. I approached a servant and saw that he was preparing food, I think it was Sir Liam's. So I made a presentation to bring it to him. He didn't whine anymore and gave me the tray with only rice and dish. When I got close, I placed It in front of him then I took some cold water and placed It next to him. When he started eating, I watched his every mouthful, I felt hungry. A few minutes later while watching him I noticed he was looking at me. "I'm done," he said. I immediately took everything he ate. When I finished, I was about to walk when he spoke. "Later, go to my room," he added, hoping that I would speak before he left. “Heaven! ,” I turned around and saw my aunt. "Have you eaten?" I shook my head. "Don't go hungry. When you're hungry, eat there. By the way, I'm leaving tomorrow and Liam's mommy is calling me, I'll just come here to see you!" I nodded to him. I bought a dress, as soon as I chose it I immediately put it on. I combed my long hair and then lay down. I closed my eyes and fell asleep completely. TOMORROW..... I woke up early because I didn't want to stay awake until noon because they might think I was doing it for fun. So I got up and stretched, then I put my bed away. Then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. AFTER SOME TIME.... I'm here now in the living room while cleaning. I heard a car honking outside, I think it was Sir Owen's. I saw that he had come down and was carrying a big box, What's in it? “Hello! Good Morning," he said when I entered and I smiled. "Is Liam there?" he added. "Yes, he hasn't come down yet, maybe he's still sleeping," I said. "Okay, thank you!" he said and smiled at me. I've finished what I'm doing for the garden, I'm going to water the beautiful flowers. After finishing, I put away what I used first.. I suddenly remembered them, mom, I don't know when I will be able to visit them, I just have to find a way to see them. I smiled because we will be able to pay off our debts by the time I get paid. I immediately went to the Garden, I suddenly felt better when I got here because of the breeze and the surrounding and beautiful flowers. I started watering, while watering I sang along. ♪She's always on my mind From the time I woke up 'til I close my eyes She's everywhere I go She's all I know♪ I closed my eyes while inhaling the smell while singing my favorite song. ♪ And thought she's so far away It just keeps getting stronger everyday And even now she's gone I'm still holding on So tell me where do I start 'Cause it's breakin' my heart Don't wanna let her go♪ "Hey!" I just keep singing. ♪Maybe my love will come back someday Only heaven knows And maybe our hearts will find a way Only heaven knows And all I can do is hope and pray ′Cause heaven knows♪ "Stop there, come with me to buy something," ♪My friends keep tellin' me That if you really love her You've got to set her free And if she returns in kind I'll know she's mine But tell me where do I start ′Cause it's breakin′ my heart Don't want to let her go♪ As I continued the song, I opened my eyes and saw Sir Liam's face.... Wait what? I was shocked to stop singing when I saw Sir Liam right in front of me.. "Are you done?" he said, embarrassing.. I nodded and said "S-Sorry p-po Sir. Liam, I didn't notice you were there," I said. It raised an eyebrow at me, I bowed down in shame. "Come with me, I'm going to buy something," he said and as he left I didn't answer, it was really embarrassing. I immediately put away everything I used and went to the room. When I entered, I immediately looked for something to wear.. When I found it, I went to CR and brushed my hair and got dressed. When I was done I combed my hair and tied it up and when I was done I just powdered and liptinted a little. I went out and met Esmeralda. He asked me where I was going and said I would go with Sir. Liam, he persuaded me to be the one to do the shopping, I didn't refuse and took everything from him to buy. I saw that Sir was already outside. Liam and his car, as soon as I got in he started driving it. We stopped at a Mall and he parked his car first then got out, I followed him. The guard greeted him and he just nodded. I followed him, we entered the watch store, I looked at each other, my eyes widened when I saw the one I love. I looked at him curiously, he has a watch but does he need to buy one? By the way, he has a lot of money so he can buy everything he wants. I sat on one side while waiting for him to buy. I sat on one side while waiting for him to buy. I noticed that he went to where I was looking earlier. I stood up and approached him, I looked at the OULM LUXURY MEN'S WATCH he was holding. He looked at me "What do you think?" this harvest. I said that's okay. "Okay Miss, I'll take this," he said to the saleslady. "This way Sir," he said and guided Sir. Liam goes to the counter to pay for it. After that we went out inside the Mall, I remembered that I had to go shopping, the market is not far from here, I will tell Sir later. Liam when we are opposite the market. I got into his car and he started it, I looked at the list of things to buy, madame-dame too, it's embarrassing if I pick up Sir. Liam, it's up to you. I could see the market so I turned to Sir. Liam and said “ Sir. Just wait, I'm just going to buy something, just for a moment," I said as I saw him sigh and park his car next to it. I quickly got down and was about to walk when he said "Wait, I'll come with you." I was surprised by what he said, Will he come? He might just get kicked out, and he might even cheapen the vendors there. "What are you waiting for?" he said. I looked at him in shock and started walking, I could feel him following me. We didn't even walk for a minute when I heard complaints from my companion, tss. Why did you come? I looked at him, I was surprised by his incomprehensible reaction, I laughed and looked at him again. He noticed that I was looking at him, "What's funny?" he said while frowning. I shook my head and smiled sweetly at him. We continued walking, we stopped at the chicken market. I saw our shopkeeper staring at my companion before Sir could dissolve. Liam, I gave him the chicken I chose. "Miss, how much?" I asked here now that the face can no longer be criticize. I asked him one more time and he finally looked at me. " How much?" I asked again.“ 280 all. Do you know this handsome fellow of yours?" He asked flirtatiously, I took the two kilos of chicken I bought and said. "He's my boss." I said here. I have no intention of prolonging it any longer so I pulled Sir. Liam, we were about to walk when Ateng shopkeeper spoke again, "Just a minute! Maybe you need an assistant," he said, Ateng really fell in love with my partner at first sight. "I'm sorry that we have to leave, because we have a lot more to buy. Bye!” I said and pulled the hem of her dress again. We stopped at the vegetable market, I let go of the hem of Sir's clothes panting. Liam, I looked at him and he was frowning at me. What's up here? "Who told you that you can touch my clothes?! Look how dirty it is. Wash it later, make sure I don't have to see dirt. If you don't want to punish you." it was very angry. In my mind, that's why he got so angry that the dirt on his clothes was so small that he got angry. I met his gaze and told him that I would take care of the laundry and he wouldn't see any dirt. I turned my attention to the vegetable vendors and I chose everything on the list, not long after I was done and I paid the seller. I turned to the person next to me, I was surprised that he was gone, I saw him walking away. I was disgusted because I was going to help because I can't carry this much. I picked up everything I bought and took a deep breath as I started walking, I only took a few steps when the calamansi I bought fell one by one. I saw a hole in the bag. The salesman didn't double the bag. I picked up the calamansi ones one by one. To be continue.. Hope you like.....
