Our Kind of Relationship

The house was nice. I couldn't help but just look at it for a few moments... It was one of those new and modern looking houses. It had many glass windows and a gate we had to enter first which was followed by a long newly paved driveway. Rich. That was all I could say.

"Hello. You must be Arianna," said a tall blonde haired woman. She was fake and I couldn't help but dislike her as soon as I saw her.

"Yes."

"I am Alex's mother," she said smiling at me.

Alex's mother? She looked too young to be his mother, but she probably had work done.

"Nice to meet you," I said.

She suddenly hugged me and squeezed me. "I'm so sorry!" she bawled. "I can't imagine what you have been through! That terrible man! He should be ashamed of himself for doing what he's done to you!"

"What? Who?"

"You don't even know that it's wrong. Has he touched your sister too?" she asked looking at Sarah.

I pulled away from her. "How dare you!" I shouted. "How dare you insult Adam like that! He was a good man."

"He kidnapped you," protested Alex.

"No he didn't! I asked him to take care of us! It was me! It's all me!" I shouted.

"Why are they saying Adam kidnapped us?" asked Sarah. "He was nice... I wanna go home..." she said softly.

"He violated you," said Alex's mother before she walked back into the house, followed by Alex who glared at me.

"You don't even realize what he's done," he said before entering the house.

"I want to go home, Arianna."

I took my hand in hers. "We will. We'll go home soon... We just have to wait until he comes for us..."

I looked up into the clearness sky. Would he come for us...? Would Adam bother to come for us...? I couldn't help but wonder if he really cared enough...

"Ari..."

"It's nothing..."

"Miss Arianna, please come inside, we have a room prepared for you," said a young woman in black. A white apron tied around her waist. "I am Juliana Davis, your personal maid," she said smiling.

I sighed. A maid...? I really didn't want to be there...
