Forced Marriage

Chapter 4.

I got changed into my old clothes and washed my face, I let Michelle wash my hair and then brush it out before leaving the building to go home. I was just gonna put my hair up and take a bath when I get home since my hairs, extremely clean now. 

I'm riding home in a taxi now, to my apartment. I was gonna call my personal driver but decided to leave them be, I'm gonna just give them a weak off. I'll notify him tomorrow. 

I had my earbuds in and was listening to Korean lessons on how to pronounce and say things in Korean. I got so far on the quiz apps such as "Duolingo" and "Memorize" but I needed tapes to listen to now. 

The car stopped, I got through three new tapes that came out. I was updated with the people on this app I was using, I subscribed to them after day one of downloading the app which is called "Castbox". 

I paused the tape I was on and got off of the app, I turned off my phone and pulled the earbuds out of my ears. "How much do I owe you...?" I asked, pulling a wad of cash out from my pocket, at first I started counting out the money but I rolled my eyes and sighed. I just handed him the wad of cash and told him to keep the change before getting out of the car and walking inside of my apartment building. 

I made that guys day, I handed him over a two hundred dollars when all he needed was $10.30. Oh well, if I'm making others happy, then I'm happy. I don't give a shit about my feelings or how I feel because then that'll make me weaker and I need to be strong, for the people who care about me and for my job!! 

I walked into the staircase and ran up the stairs, until I reached my floor, floor five. I walked to my right and after passing a few doors, I reached my apartment door. I pulled my keys out from my pocket and entered them inside of the keyhole, turning them to the side, a satisfying click sound could be heard, indicating that the door was now unlocked. I grabbed the doorknob with my right hand and turned it to the side, the door was now open. I then pushed open the door and closed it behind me. 

I walked to my bedroom and went into the bathroom that was through a door in my room. I turned on some bath water, very warm bath water and then turned on one light switch out of the three of them, that light switch went to a light that was above the bathtub, making it dimly lit in the bathroom which is my kind of relaxation. 

As the tub filled up, I walked out of my bedroom and walked down the hall, to the kitchen. I grabbed food out from the fridge and just ate it there while I drank another can of beer. After a while of standing there, binge eating and drinking, I decided to go back to my bedroom, to stop the bath water and get in.

"AHH!!" I screamed out and flinched, I saw someone sitting on my sofa, in the pitch black living room of mine. "WHO IN THE FUCK?!" the person stood up and slowly approached me which freaked me out more so I grabbed a knife and held it up. 

"What the fuck dude?!" I growled and slammed the knife down on a cutting board. In front of me stood my bitch of a mother. "What the fuck do you want?!" I rolled my eyes and grumbled. I folded my arms and popped my left hip out, leaning all of my weight to the left. 

"To see my daughter, I've seen your magazines...you're their prized pupal..." I scoffed and looked down at the floor. "No shit..." I sarcastically grumbled. "Honey, I know we haven't been on good terms lately but-" "The front door is right there!!" I pointed down the hall, to my right, the dim light of the kitchen shined down on the both of us, more on me since my mother was standing more in the darkened hallway. "Leave my apartment as fast as you left dad and you left me!!" Slap!! 

"Dallas...I-I'm so-" "FIRST YOU LIE TO ME AND SAY YOU WANTED TO SEE ME BECAUSE OF MY SUCCESS, WHICH BY THE WAY, I KNOW IS A LIE!! YOU'RE JUST WANTING SOMETHING FROM ME AND WHATEVER IT IS, I WON'T GIVE IT TO YOU AND TWO, YOU SLAP ME IN MY OWN FUCKING APARTMENT!! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOU SLICK LITTLE CUNT OF A SNAKE!!" my words cut my mother deep, she looked down at the ground, tears falling from my face.
