The Perfect Prison

Roselyn's POV Carrying the serving tray, I placed the ladies' orders on their table and retreated into the kitchen. Hailey was stealing food again! “What do you think you're doing??” I said She snapped her head up immediately and saw me… “You scared me!” said Hailey “That's because you know what you're doing isn't right. We'll get ours at the end of the shift.” “That's never enough!” said Hailey. “Can we just clean up and finish up early? I'm exhausted! Taking a deep breath, I started washing the used items in the dishwasher. I was busily cleaning up the cooking area when someone tapped my back. Hailey. “I'm done with my part, leaving now. Please take care and have a nice evening. See ya tomorrow!” Hailey stated. “Sure then, Bye-bye.” I said, still trying to finish up. Finishing up with sweeping, I started to lock up. The cool air hit my fingers and cheeks, sending a chill up my back. I hurriedly placed the keys in the secret box for the manager and put my hands in my jacket pockets. The cafe isn't too far from where I stay. In 10 minutes, I get to the gate, only to find a black sleek car outside the gate. My mind was racing to know who it was. “It's probably dad's business partners. Did he get home before me?” Oh God, please help me past him. ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ Just when I was about to open the door to the hall, I heard my name being mentioned. Pushing the door open, I entered, said my greetings, and rushed to my room. Dad probably sensed it because he called me back. “Rosie..” I cringed, hearing that name. “Erhm, please have a seat.” Not to feel like I'm disrespectful, I walked over and sat down. “Rosie, you'll be marrying Dean, the heir of the biggest IT company in New York. They're investing in our company since we've been going bankrupt over the years.” said dad with a stone face, showing no emotions. Tears were starting to form, but I held everything back. Masking a strong face and nodding, I got up and left the hall. Closing the door behind me, I fell down and allowed the tears to drop. Well, at least I'll be leaving this space and everything behind. How bad could everything be. Getting up, I entered the washroom to bathe. Breathing in and out, I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom. Taking longer than normal to bathe, I relaxed more. Dressed up and fell on the bed. Within a few minutes, I slept off into a short nightmare just like every other night. ●●●D●●R●●E●●A●●M●●● “Mummy, please wait for me..” I shouted with agony. She just kept on disappearing into the fog. "Mom!!!!!! please don't leave me, please!" There was no sign of her. She just vanished. Dad appeared from nowhere, forcing himself on me. I screamed and kicked, but it went on and on. “Please stop, Please!!! Please!!!!* ●●●●END●●●● Screaming from my sleep, I sat up on the bed. This dream again. When will this stop? I've had this dream every night, ever since dad took my innocence. He disgusts me. It's been a while since i actually screamed from my sleep. Grabbing my headphones, I turned on some music and entered the washroom to rinse my face. Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt sorry and weak. This might be the best way to escape this hell. “You can go through this, just like how you went through your past experiences, Roselyn” , I said to myself in the mirror. Taking a deep breath, I wrapped my hair up. Walking out of the washroom, I fell onto the bed and let the music carry all my nightmares away.
