His lustful revenge

I'll take the lead with them. We've been waiting for the bus for a long time. Are they not embarrassed? People are looking at us with a digusted expression. Seriously, I couldn't imagine doing cheesy things for love.

Dani pushed me closer to her and said, "Maxie, wait!"

"What's the matter?"she inquired.

Is that an inquiry? Is it okay if I accompany them on their date? They were flirting at the time. I was simply listening to her boyfriend's choruses! Even those who look at us are frowning. I simply hope I'm not invited. I made the mistake of putting out the effort to go here and listen to all of their corny conversation.

Zian, his lover, laughed.

"Perhaps she's envious of us, Babe."he continued.

I faked a smile.Here comes the tornado! He is so full of himself!

Dani looked to him and said, "Babe." He simply shrugged and looked about.

"I'm fine, Dani, just enjoy your date, okay? I'll go first," I said as I continued walking quickly. I despise that man, and I'll never forget what I saw at the mall the other day.

Zian is walking with another girl, and they are both incredibly sweet, holding hands.

Maybe I should go home first; I've got nothing else to do here than watch them practically eat each other's faces.

"Okay," Dani replied, with a small smile.I know, I'm bitter if I'm bitter, but she can't blame me; it wasn't good experience we me and her boyfriend met!

I rolled my eyes then scooped my hair. I check my list of today's grocery. That's quite a lot and I know I only have a little money, it won't fit if I don't save. I need to scrutinize the purchases.

I hadn't gone far yet so I quickly looked at them. Zian swiped away Dani's forehead,full of sweat sweetly as I walked away thinking what had happened. Shit! My horror rose from the arm to my nape.

"Babe if you really choose me you won't regret it. I don't even have a palace but I promise to serve you for the rest of my life oh my princess. " I heard Zian. What the heck is he seriously? Isn't that a lyric from some random song? I closed my eyes emphatically.

"Oh Honey pie don't be like that!" Dani jokingly slapped her boyfriend's chest. While bent over and blushing. Her boyfriend immediately pressed her cheek, at the same time he walked away proudly.

You are done! I just bit my lip hard and grabbed my forehead. How did I endure the few hours with this two? Dani who almost shattered the glass every time she spoke, now looks like a dwarf! She's talking like a baby. She looks stupid, she seems to be possessed!

I didn't let my self stay there for a little longer.I feel like I'm going to puke anytime now.

I began walking because the food shop was close to my previous location. I don't want to squander more money because the food is currently too costly.

I grabbed a cart as soon as I walked in the grocery. I started buying meats for dad's birthday dinner today. Mom worked hard to prepare because we don't spend much time together.

We're a modest family with little resources.We're not making nearly as much money at the restaurant we opened a few kilometers from home. In fact, we must find a means of paying our rent. My younger brother is likewise maturing and will be a student next year. For school, he need a tuition money.

Apart from the restaurant, we only had Papa to look forward to. Mama is constantly occupied with her restaurant duties.

I considered closing it because I knew we wouldn't be able to pay the bills, but Mama refused because it held sentimental importance. They can't just sell it since we've been producing money because of it for a long time and have developed a restaurant life.

I moved right to the veggies and fruits after finishing the meat department, as if what they were selling here wasn't fresh.

I chose green apples from this section that I believe are the freshest. As I was quietly selecting, the things Gionna said to me came to mind. One of my closest buddies. In addition to Dani, I approach her whenever I have a problem to solve.

I don't want to think about why Dad departs so frequently, but I think I grew even more suspicious when I smelled the clothing he lend to Mom. I tried to hide the garments because I didn't want Mom to notice, especially now that adding nails to the difficulties is too difficult.

Gionna speculated that Papa might have another woman. I didn't believe because I didn't want to; I didn't want to make a mistake, even though I never doubted dad's loyalty to my mom, I mean they're for almost 20 years now, We have a lot of faith in him and his promises to Mom. And I believe he is not meant to do something that would hurt us.

My cellphone vibrated as I was shopping. I took it out of the bag and had to search for it because I couldn't find it immediately. Because my bag is extremely large and contains many items, I took a stopped to seek for it.

It's mom.

I turned up the volume on the speaker.To hear her propperly. Because of the background music in the grocery store, we can't understand each other.

"Hello? Maxine?"

"Mom, I'm coming home as well; I'll just complete the ingredients." I'm sure that's all she wants to hear from me.

I approached the counter once I was certain that I had been sold just enough. I can't move because of the crowd; perhaps it's like this during the Christmas season. Many people are already shopping two days before Christmas.

There is a scarcity, and sometimes even a scarcity of commodities. Especially those canned goods.Ham and keso debola,the famous cheese during christmas eve.

I stopped as I watched a few teenagers hanging out.They're all in high school.Looks like they're the lucky one's.Fancy clothes and a expensive phone.Most of them are holding a drink from sturbucks.

Maybe they're also here for a last minute shopping.

I noticed a girl standing close to me. She looked stunning in her velvity dress, which appeared to be brand new.

I can't help but draw parallels. If we were to compete side by side, I would absolutely lose. My faded pants and plain polo shirt caught my gaze. This is, without a doubt, the most stunning outfit I own.

The world is a cruel place. What If I was born into a wealthy family? What if our restaurant did not go out of business? What if Dad's job was saved? Is it okay if I dress up? Like her? Is it possible for me to go to a club and dance all night without worrying about our financial problems?

With the side of my eyes, I noticed she was looking at me. I tried to give her a friendly smile, but all she did was roll her eyes at me.

"How do people like her get into this place? How can she afford it, after all? The products here are as pricey as my outfits, if not more so.Ugh!" She splashed some alcohol at her sides after what she said. I watched her frown as my smile disappeared. She moved away from me, as if I were a small germ she wanted to get rid of.

I bowed my head down and pretended not to see her. There are those people who believe they are in charge of the world simply because they can afford costly shit.

A gleaming glitter thing struck me. It's a timepiece! It's black and incredibly expensive looking, so you know it's not cheap pompous every aspect and there are also small diamonds around it.

I cautiously picked up the watch and walked over to where I assumed who the owner is.

"I believe what you're clutching is mine," he said, almost jolting me awake. I turned around without hesitation, and there was a man's face in front of me.

I handed him the watch, trembling. Stop shaking, Maxine! You're not doing anything wrong! I attempted to adapt. He was still staring at me, refusing to remove the watch from my hand.

He took just enough of a step for me to catch my breath.

Shit!

"I-I didn't take it; I just happened to see it here!" I said while shaking my head a few times.

He grabbed my chin and made me look at him. I can't avoid looking into his penetrating eyes. I tried to stare at him with my palm so cold, but he had this black aura about him, and his eyes were a mix of gray and blue.

People are starting to stare at us, I've observed. He was dressed casually in khaki shorts and a plain shirt. He is far too intelligent to be a normal human! I can't deny what I've noticed any longer. He reminds me of an international model.

I tried to pull away, but he wouldn't let me, and his arms began to reach for my tummy, touching a little of my underboob. What he did made me gasp! He didn't even try to conceal his grin.

When he discovered I wasn't even breathing, he whispered on the side of my ear, "Breathe." As he let go of me, I let out a loud sigh.

My cheeks are so heated right now that I think I look like a boiled tomato.

I didn't waste any time and turned around right away. I need to get out of here, and I'm not sure what else I can do without regretting it later.

I almost lost my balance when he violently grabbed my arm.

"I didn't steal that promise! Please let go!" I said panicking this time.

"Do you have a job? I want to offer you one." It was here that he got my full attention. He dropped my arm like a hot potato when he noticed that he's holding it a little bit longer.

" What job?" I asked curiously. I know you don't have to trust stangers like him, but what can I do? Im desperate. I need this, my family needs it.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at me seriously. "I want you to be my brothers baby sitter. All you have to do is to take care of him. You don't even have to do the house chores. I can offer you hmm... "

He acted thoughtful and his gaze hovered over my body.

I moved slightly away and crossed my arms. Covering my body. He grinned. "I can offer you a car or a house? Anything you want.And most especially I can give you so many benefits. " Now that sound so green to me. I shake off all of the dirty thingking.

"I'm sorry Sir but, what you said is not convincing, the offer for a babysitter is too high. Thanks for it, but no."I completely turned my back on him. I haven't seen his expression after what I said but I can feel his footsteps continuing to follow me.

What the hell does he want? I refused what else does he want?

"Wait a minute, lady!" he shoved me in front of him once more.

In my palm, he placed a black calling card.

"I know you need me, don't deny it. That's my calling card. Don't lose it. My offer is exclusively for you. Take advantage of it before it's gone," he stated gently, but it sounded like a threat.

With that, he made his dramatic exit, stuttered as he walked slowly.

I tucked the calling card into my wallet, making sure it wasn't wrinkled.

When I finished paying for everything I had purchased I began walking away.

As I was walking, my phone rang.

"Maxie!" the first thing I heard was Dani sobbing. I understand why she's crying.

"I saw him soon right after our date earlier shit!" I have no choice but to listen. I'm sure she's grown to adore Zian in the brief months they've been together.

I instantly inquired after hearing her slight calm.

"What went wrong?"I pretended to be clueless.

"He promptly left after our date. I remembered what you said to me, so I followed him. I assumed he was going to the mall to buy me a gift because it was our monthsarry today, but instead, I saw him with another woman!"she screamed, accompanied by a sequence of sobbing. These cheaters must be punished!

Oh? Looks like that's the same mall where I first saw Zian with another girl.

They only want love if it's exciting and if the emotions are present. But what if the excitement and fun are no longer present?

Cheaters have no concept of commitment and are solely interested in having a good time. They are never content with their current situation. They'll always be looking for something fresh and exciting.

I took a long breath and firmly closed my eyes, declaring that the man would not act rationally. I'm familiar with the way he looked at other women when he was with Dani.

"How about we meet? I'm heading to the mystic café that's where we'll meet,okay?" I calmly said.

I need Gionna's help.

I texted Giona as soon as I hung up the phone.'Giona, can you come?' 4 p.m. at the Mystic Café? '

Then I pressed the send button. Dani requires our immediate assistance when she arrives. How many times has she been heartbroken? We are always the only ones fleeing since her parents are too preoccupied with work to look after her.

Gionna: Sure, what's up?

'Dani is broke shit right now and she needs us,' I texted again.

After that, I decided to walk home.

I observed a black automobile in front of the supermarket store. They were in the middle of the road, so I pulled over. Dad used to own a car like this, but he sold it unexpectedly. I was taken back when the cars tinded window sunddenly opened.

A really cute child's head peered out there. His cheeks are red, and his eyes are cute and adorable. I can't help but adore him, he's so cute!

"Hello Sister!" he exclaimed cheerfully, waving his small hand in my direction. He's so cute and bubbly that I want to squeeze his tiny hands.

I remember my brother Rylie,they are in the same age. The child looks like he is in the age of six. Rylie is a five-year-old. They also almost resemble the cartoon character's outfit style.

I greeted him with a smile and a handshake. "How are you? What's your name?" I asked smiling.

"My name is Rujin, and I'm a good boy," he said, flashing his charming smile at me once more.

"Really? Maxine is my name. Your shirt is stunning." I said I tried to touch his shirt but stopped when I noticed the person sitting next to him smirking coldly at me.

What is he doing right here? Is this his child?

"Rujin, let's go now she's probably busy, right?" he said, not bothering to hide his grin.

I simply nodded. With clouded eyes, the kid looked at me. He seemed ready to cry at any moment.

With his shoulders down, the boy turned to face the man beside him before returning his gaze to me.

He waved his small hands at me and said, "Bye bye." I suddenly felt guilty.

I waved back as he did.

"Bye, Rujin," I said tentatively.

"Do you think we'll see each other again?" he asked wearing a hopefull eyes.

I don't know why, but I can't seem to see him weep now. I don't want to see any child cry. I keep feeling the same way.

"Certainly!" I anounced happily to cheer him up.And his expression brightens at what I've just spoken.

"Really? "He asked.

"Are you using a cellphone?" I asked a question that was instantly answered.

"He doesn't have any, just put your number in my phone," The man said in a low voice.Almost commandingly.

I picked up the cellphone and started typing my number. I registered Maxine then I press save. I handed it to the man again who immediately get from me.

"That one was easy, so she love kids huh?" He whispered something I can't barely hear.

"Bye Maxine nice meeting you!" the child waved at me and so did I.

Before the windows closed I caught the man looking at me with a playful smirk in his face. I even caught him winking at me.

What the heck is wrong with him?
