Plump, Hated, And Bullied

Bullying her

Chapter 28

"Ren, are you okay?" I call his attention when I find him staring at my chest, and I quickly cover myself with my two hands. I was so scared when he sent for me that I didn't even have the time to wear something else since I was already wearing my lingerie and was about to go to bed.
    "Ye... Yes..." I watch as he quickly turns his face away, and I sigh briefly.
    "Uhm... I will go prepare your bath water now," I say to him before I hurry into the bathroom and slams the door lightly behind me. I crash against the wall as soon as I walk in, and release the breath I have been holding unknowingly.
    My heart beats rapidly against my chest as I hurry up with mixing his bath water, and when I'm done, I finally step out into his room. My heart freezes in my chest when I walk into the room and find him standing on his feet, wearing just briefs, revealing his broad chest and his sexy abs. Forgive me, but I can't deny that he's good-looking with those abs. It's not my fault that I admit it, anyway.
    "I'm done. I... I will be on my way now. Good night," I say to him, and without even waiting for another second, I pull the door open and storm out of the room. Barging into my room, I slam the door hard behind me and crash against it, breathing heavily. What the hell was that? That was so weird.
    I sigh briefly, dragging my feet toward my bed, and as soon as I get close to it, I plunge myself into it and release another round of deep sighs like I'd just run a marathon.
    I close my eyes, trying to get some sleep, but I find his image popping up in my head, preventing me from sleeping. What the hell is happening?
    "He's so hot!" My subconscious mind says within me, and I sigh briefly. It's literally my first time feeling this way, but I think this is just me feeling stupid and all.
    Pushing all the thoughts to the back of my mind, I close my eyes again to sleep, but the thought of Nate rings in my mind, and I quickly sit up on the bed and reach out for my phone that's just lying carelessly on the bedside table. I haven't called him after he dropped me off, so I think I should while I still can.
    Scrolling through my phone, I stop when I see his number and dial it, waiting patiently for him to answer the call. The call ring for a few minutes and drops dead.
    "Why's he not answering his phone?" I ask as I adjust on the bed and dial his number again, but he still doesn't answer the phone, and I'm getting worried about him already. This is so unlike him. He always tries to answer my call even though he's busy. What's happening? He couldn't have been asleep by now, right?
    Standing up from the bed, I advance toward my window and pull my curtain to one side, and his window is strangely open. The last time I checked, he always closes his window before he goes to bed, which means that he's still awake, so why's he not answering his phone?
    "Maybe he's busy with something and left his phone in his room," I conclude as I walk back to the bed, even though I'm still a bit worried about his safety.
    Dropping my heavy self onto the bed, I pull the duvet to cover myself and drift into sleep afterward.
    I have no idea how long I'd been asleep, but the blaring sound of my alarm tells me that it's 5:30am already, and I need to get ready for work if I don't want to be late later.
    My eyes are still heavy and very much sleepy, but I still manage to get myself off the bed, dragging myself sluggishly into the bathroom afterward. I set to have my bath as soon as I step into the bathroom.
    By the time I finish getting dressed for work, it's already 7am, so I walk over to the window side to check if I get a glimpse of Nate there, but sadly and strangely, his window is still open.
    "Did anything happen to him? Is he ok?" I continue to ask myself as I stare at his window for a few minutes before I finally sigh and walk out of the room. 
    Descending the staircase a few minutes later, I walk my way to the kitchen, because I can't possibly leave for the office without eating anything. Yes, I know that I'm chubby and should be losing weight, but that doesn't mean that I should not eat, right? I can't sacrifice my food for anything.
    Stepping into the kitchen to find the maids that bully me often there, I know that I'm in for another round of trouble this morning, which is actually the last thing I want. I don't just want to get into trouble with anyone today, please.
    "Good morning," I greet them politely, and of course, I expected them to snub me. I just don't want them to have something to talk about or complain about if I don't greet them.
    "What are you doing here?" One of them asks as she glares at me with a disgusting expression on her face, and who says that I care? If my own mom could abandon me because of my look if my stepmom could bully me for my look, and if the whole nation could do that to me, who are they that I should be bothered about?
    "Has the fat in your body blocked your ears that you can't hear anything again?" The other one chips in, coming to stand in my way, and I sigh briefly.
    "Can you leave the way, Madison?" I ask her politely. Madison is the witch in the mansion, and the one leading others to bully me. She looks like she's younger than I am, and in a real sense, she is supposed to respect me, but who will treat a fat ugly bull like myself with respect?
    'You have to accept yourself for who you are if you want others to do that' I wish this is easily done as said. Of course, I want to do it, but I don't have the courage to. What was I born like this for if not to be bullied?
    "Don't tell me you're here to get food to eat? How can you still eat with this horrible body of yours? Look at your hands and all your body, you look so disgusting and ugly. You should lose some weight," Madison grimaced at me, expecting me to feel bad, or maybe start crying, but who says that I will do that?
    "Yes, you should. How are you walking in public without shame?" Alice, her accomplice says to me and scoffs.
    "The same way you walk on the street without the fear of being blown away by the breeze," I smirk at her, and I bet she gasps sharply. Well, that just got her.
    "You!" She points her index finger toward me as she casts me a hard glare.
    "What?" I shrug my shoulders.
    "Well, if you don't want to lose your job in the future, you should respect me, ok? I am your boss's wife, so you should give me that regard," I may get into trouble if Ren gets to hear this, but who says that I care at this moment? 
    "You wish!" Madison scoffs at me, and I smirk. Well, the truth is no one knew that I got married to Ren that day, but I think it's high time I let everyone know this now. It may be fake, but I think taking advantage of that isn't a bad thing...
