Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV

When I heard the knock in the door I figured it had to be Karl as I was sure there was no one aside us at the house and there was no way Davis was going to come up to Selene’s room.

I wondered what he wanted now but dismissed it as him wanting to come say goodnight to Selene. Their closeness made me feel uneasy and it was about to become worse as we now lived in the same house. I hoped it won’t stir up issues between Selene and Davis.

“I hope this doesn’t cause problems in the future.” I muttered to myself as I thought about his fondness for Selene. I hope it wasn’t going to be an issue when the contract ended.

The door opened and it was my least expectation. It was Davis.

” Why was he here?” I mumbled to myself perplexed by why he was at Selene’s room. I was happy I was in Selene room when he came in case he had come to make trouble with my daughter.

” Hi Davis, did you need something?” I asked him but he ignored me and looked around the room for a while before saying anything. Just about then Selene came out of the bathroom.

” Why are you in my room?” Selene asked annoyed he was at her room. He was invading her privacy and acted like it was ok to do so.

” Ewwn, so poor arrangements.” He said as he looked around. He made a gesture looking irritated by the room and then turned to speak to me

” I have been looking all of the house for you, you should be around at all times you know.” He said and I just looked at him wondering why he spoke that rudely to me. I didn’t respond to anything he said. He glared at me for a while and added that I made his something to eat.

” I am hungry, you should make some food.” He said and Selene was furious and confronted him about the way he addressed me.

‘ You dnt get to talk to my mum like that.” Selene responded to Davis in my defense, but Davis was not having it, it seemed so confident he could order me around.

“You are the help around here, you and your mother and you would get me whatever I want.” Davis said and I knew Karl had something to do with it. He had to have told Davis I was his help when he went to speak to him. I glared at him, annoyed by how he addressed me but decided to maintain my composure.

Eat?” Isn’t it past your bedtime?” I asked him and he told me he could have anything he wanted at any time and I should ask questions but do the needful.

Selene who was irritated by how he spoke wanted to say something in my defense but I stopped her abruptly.

” You….” Selene said but I turned to her nodding my head that she should let it go. She stared at me and didn’t say anything further. I guess I was done with the back and front with Davis.

” It’s fine, I will make you something. What would you want?” I asked him and he make a gesture of wanting anything and turned to leave the room but stopped soon enough, it seemed he changed his mind.

” I would want some steak and fresh apple juice.” He said and I responded that I was going to make it. I wanted to read Selene a bed time story and tuck her in bed like I always did before I left for the kitchen as It was past her bed time.

” Baby come to bed.” I said to her and as she walked towards me, Davis turned to glare at me. ” I thought you were going now, I am hungry and can’t wait.” He added and I gestured for Selene to come lie down as I stood up to leave for the kitchen.

I wasn’t a weakling but for the first day at the house I was sure I wasn’t ready for any more drama. Selene furious at my actions stared at me frowning and muttering inaudibly.

” Baby I would be back in a moment.” I said and left for the kitchen to make Davis request.

“Hmm, I hope this doesn’t continue like this.” I said to myself as I left for the kitchen.

I prepared the steak and fresh apple juice for Davis and as I cooked, my mind was filled with thoughts about Davis attitude.

I consoled myself reassuring myself it was going to be for a while. I soon finished making the steak and pouring the fresh apple juice I had made into a glass. I served the meal at the dinner and call Davis that the meal was ready.

” I made the meal, you should come eat.” I told him as he was sitted by the sitting room engrossed with his phone.

” You took too long I lost my appetite.” He responded and got up to head to his room.

” What do you mean you lost your appetite?” I questioned him as he got up to leave.

” It means what I said, you can keep your food. I dnt want it.” He added heading up the stairs. I stares at him, tears welled up in my eyes.

” What was Davis’s true intentions? Why did he feel so entitled to boss me around?” I sighed heavily and went on to check on Selene. I hoped Selene would understand that I was only trying to keep the peace for now.

When I entered Selene’s room, I couldn’t help but notice the tension in the air as Selene glared at me disapprovingly. i tried to talk to her but she refused and didn’t want to talk to me.

I decided to let her be and took a moment to compose myself as I left the room. The hallway felt suffocating, filled with the tension.

It was clear that he had no respect for our boundaries and saw us as nothing more than servants in his eyes.

Determined to maintain my dignity, I took a deep breath and decided that I wouldn’t let Davis’s behavior get to me. I had to find a way to assert myself without causing more conflict in the house. As I walked down the hallway, I couldn’t help but think about Selene’s reaction. Would she understand why I was handling the situation this way? Only time would tell.
