"do you have to go?" "I need to go back to the house and do some washing before work tomorrow. i can't just run around in a skirt with no underwear on" "oh you can around me" I chuckled "not at work. You start tomorrow?" "I sure do" I grinned "I hope it's as good as you have hoped" "i think it will be. All I need now is you here with me full time" "I wish I could. All I'm hoping is he gets over the thought and divorces me. He will never receive anything from me" Austin showed a handsome grin. "I know that" sharing a long passionate kiss with Austin, I said good bye and walked home.
Arriving at home, I took a deep breath. 'my father is here' entering the house, I looked at everyone then walked to my room. Unlocking my room, I walked in and closed the door. 'i need to wash my clothes then get some sleep. I have already eaten' getting changed, I made sure I kept my phone and keys on me then grabbed my clothes before walking out and locking my door. Taking my clothes to the laundry, I put them in and added detergent before turning the machine on.
"Where have you been?" Looking at my father, I stayed silent "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN JADEE. I TOLD YOU, WE HAVE A FAMILY DINNER ON FRIDAYS. YOU COMPLETELY IGNORED ME.." "yeah well I told you I want nothing to do with this situation or you. You didn't listen.." "HE IS YOUR HUSBAND" "yell all you like. This is my life. I may be married and I may be doing a job I didn't want but you won't take my freedom. This is my life and you have already ruined it. I won't be having kids. I Won't have the career I want but its okay" exiting the laundry, my father grabbed my arm. "I HAVE DONE THIS SO YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN LIFE. THE JOB, THE PARTNER AND A HOME" "keep yelling, Peter. I'm not going to waste my energy raising my voice. You can be angry all you like, it won't change my decisions. You have taken everything else and I won't allow you to take the rest. I would rather sleep on the floor like I have been than be forced to sleep with a man I have no interest in. Good person, not my type. Thanks for everything Peter" "I'm your father. Don't address me that way" removing his hand from my arm, I spoke "what you have done is ruin my hopes and dreams. Okay so I have a job. It's not the job I want. I have a husband, not the husband I chose for love and because of that I won't have kids. It's okay for you though right. Next weekend you will finally have the house to yourself again. Britney will be marrying a man she doesn't like either but it's okay" "this is not why I did it" "you know what? I don't care anymore. You can do what you like, you have anyway. I will be there to see my sister with sadness as she marries a man she doesn't like. You can have your family dinners but to me.. this isn't a family. You used to be a good man, I had high respect for you until you destroyed me" "he can make you happy jadee.." "no. Boring doesnt make me happy. Exciting makes me happy. Being outdoors, living life makes me happy and no one can take that from me. You have taken everything including my friends. I do hope you are happy" walking away, I walked to my room and unlocked it before walking in and closed my door then locked it again.

Peter.

'this is not how I expected the conversation to go. I was the one yelling and yet she stayed calm. I expected her to yell at the top of her lungs and fight me but she didn't. I don't know how to deal with this. We haven't spoken all week. She won't sleep in Matthews and her room, she has been out all weekend and came home in her work clothes. I doubt she stayed in them all weekend. I thought she would come around but there's nothing. I can't force her to come on Fridays but I wish she would just give Matthew the time of day. He really likes her and can be a suitable husband for her. He will treat her right but so far nothing is happening. She didn't tell me where she had been. I know she hasn't been with Monica, Bosco and Ari as their parents are fully aware of the situation and agreed. I don't know what to do'.

Jadee.

Austin - hey gorgeous, are you home?
- not home. Yes I am where I reside. Dad, mom, Matthew, Kent and Dahlia are here. Haven't spoken to any besides dad when he cornered me in the laundry. I kept my calm as you told me, while he yelled. I am now in my room avoiding all of them. Are you getting some sleep?
Austin - not yet. I want to speak with you. I'd love to be holding you. I love sleeping with you under my arm. Did he hurt you?
- I would love to be there. No he didn't hurt me. I have my sister's wedding next Saturday too
Austin - I know. It means I can't see you for one more night :(
- why not?
Austin - you will come down after the wedding?
- I want nothing more than to come down. If you are busy than I won't
Austin - never too busy and if I am out, I want you there with me.
- I will be seeing you any day I can.
Austin - I do hope so. I would come up there but I know I won't be welcome
- verbally fuck all of them. I don't care anymore
Austin - about me you do
- definitely.
Austin - you need to get yourself a bed. I don't like that you are sleeping on the floor
- maybe a blow up mattress
Austin - it's better than the floor.
- I know. Yours is better
Austin - ours. It's both of ours. Your side is empty :(
- argh I wish. I better get some sleep.
Austin - me too. Goodnight beautiful xx
- good night handsome xx

Waking up to my alarm, I got up and grabbed some work clothes, my phone and keys. Going for a quick shower, I then got dry and dressed and fixed my hair before grabbing my items and walked to the laundry. Putting my clothes in the dryer, I then turned it on and walked back to my room. Placing my dirty clothes in the basket, I then walked out and locked the room.
"Good morning jadee" "morning Matthew"
"Did you sleep okay?" "I did" making myself some toast, Matthew continued to speak "I'm sure sleeping on the floor wouldn't be that comfortable" "well you all took the bed" "our fathers took the bed. That room is supposed to be for kids in the future. Your father mentioned you want two" "it was on the cards but things changed" "I'm not your enemy jadee, I want this to work" "look you are great guy.." "then why not allow me in?" "But you aren't who I imagined myself being with. This marriage was forced Matthew. You may be happy but my father took all of my choices away" exiting the kitchen, I sat down at the dining table and ate my toast. 'shit' grabbing out my phone, I messaged austin.

-good morning handsome. I have you have a brilliant first day.

Putting my phone in my pocket, I finished eating my toast then took my dishes to the kitchen. Rinsing my dishes, I then walked out and to work.
Entering the company, I walked straight to the elevator. "Jadee, I want to see you in my office" I nodded. Following dad into his office, I waited. "You can sit" sitting down, I stayed silent. "Maxwell said you have been doing really well in your position. I can see I put you in the right one" dad held eye contact with me. "it shows you are in the right job. Maxwell knows I have you here so there is no problems with you being late" I nodded 'i really don't care about being late or the job. I can see what he is trying to do' "now away from work the situation at your home is not okay. You need to make this work" "is that all boss?" "Jadee, I know you aren't pleased but you need to have faith and try work on your relationship" "if this is not to do with my position, I will leave and go do the job that was assigned to me" dad lowered his head "all I want is what is best" "is there anything more in regards to my job?" "No" "thanks boss" standing up dad spoke "I do love you" exiting his office, I closed the door and kept walking.
