Chapter 13
She said, "Mom," and sat down on the couch across from her.
Her mum gave her a soft smile and said, "Sherry you are finally here."
"Yes, did anything occur these days? I just decided to come and check up on you"
"Not everything is fine, how is your work?" Beauty Hue asked, her heart aches whenever she remembered how Sherry was forced to become mature when she was supposed to be a normal school girl.
She usually blamed herself for getting married to a scumbag.
Her parents advised her not to marry Sherry's father but she was blinded with love and defied her parents wishes.
Her parents disowned after this, what she regretted the most was not apologizing to her parents before they died.
She was really sorry, she didn't listen to their advice now her children are the one suffering for it now..
"Mom, everything is alright and no one is bullying me too" Sherry reassured her, she didn't know what her mom was thinking about and her mom doesn't know that she actually doesn't work part time anywhere.
She used both her body and brain to work.
When she means her body, it doesn't mean she was sleeping around with men, just like the contract marriage she signed with Bryan, her mom never knew that, that was what she was doingshe never told her too.
She stayed at her mom's place for a few hours before she stood up to leaveshe was about to leave when she heard her mom ask.
"Can y-ou give your sister a loan? a few million bucks, which she will give you back." Beauty asked a little hesitantly.
Sherry sighed and asked,"Why? What does she need it for?"
"She stated she wants to invest in a stock, REO, therefore she required it immediately", Beauty Hue said with a sigh.
Sherry traded stock so she knew about the stock her mom was talking about and she knew that the stock is bad, it is rising and everyone was buying it..everyone money keeps rising but she knew that it was only temporary and the stock will soon go bad so she can't waste her money just because her sister wants to invest in a bad stock "Mom, the stock she wants to buy is a horrible one, and furthermore, I don't have that amount of money right now." Sherry remarked.
"Okay, I get it now, I already informed her that you wouldn't have that much money, but she insisted that I ask you", Beauty Hue stated helplessly.
"I'm sure you'd turn me down!" Nancy walked out of her room after saying this.
She had been eavesdropping on their conversation from her room and anticipated that Sherry wouldn't give her the money.
"Was it not because of you, I dropped out of school?" Sherry was yelled at by Nancy
When Sherry heard this, she frowned a little and decided to give her.
Her mother cut her off just as Sherry was about to tell her that she would give her.
Beauty harshly reprimands Nancy "Don't talk nonsense about you quitting school for her. I provided you money so you could pay your school fees, but you were the one who squandered it, and that was not the first time you did that, that was why I stopped paying your school fees".
Sherry was a little shocked, but she didn't show it; her face was still full of indifference. She really believed that her sister dropped out of school as a result of her, so she was constantly feeling a little guilty. Whenever she does something wrong, she will always forgive her and pay back any debts she borrowed from others, like the incident the other..
Sherry got up from the couch and said, "Mom, I'll be leaving now. I'll send your monthly money to you next month."
Beauty grinned, "I get it, be careful, and focus on your academics."
"Yes mom..bye" Sherry said.
"Bye"
Sherry left the house ignoring Nancy's irate expression.
She ate dinner outside before going back home because Bryan doesn't have a housekeeper to cook, when she got home Bryan was not home yet. She walked into her room directly.
She lay down on the bed to sleep but she couldn't sleep when she finally slept.she woke up at midnight because of a nightmare.
It was the nightmare that had haunted her for three years now. The reason why she always slept very late was because of the nightmare, if her body was very tired and needed sleep she wouldn't have the nightmare and that is sometimes.
Wait!
She suddenly realized something, when she and Bryan slept together in his Grandma's she didn't have the nightmare. She also remembered that the first day she moved into his place, she was not sure if she had the nightmare or not.
She couldn't confirm her suspicion because she couldn't just walk to Bryan and ask him to sleep with her to test if she will have a nightmare or not, right?
She stood up and walked out of her room, she was afraid of sleeping againshe doesn't want to remember what she is desperately trying to forget.
She closed the door silently and walked towards the balcony. She sat down on the stool there and just looked at her surroundings but her heart was still heavy.
She dipped her hand into the coat she wore, she took out a pack of her cigarettes and lit it.
She was not a heavy smoker and she smokes except when she is feeling a little down like this, she smokes to relieve her heart.
She continued smokingshe slowly lost track of time.
She lit the sixth cigarette when she heard a voice ask behind her "You can't sleep?"
She was startled because she didn't hear his footsteps.
She glanced at him briefly.. He was wearing his robe and he looked a little sexy..
She looked away from him, "en" she replied.
No one spoke after this, She finished smoking and walked past him.
"Good night" she said in a low tone and walked into her room.
She was feeling very weak and tired..so she lay down on the bed, she fell asleep quickly as she predicted.
