“I didn’t—”

“Your wordto me I’ll find out the truth, and until I do, you will live in my house and do as I say” He walks across the roos have already been put in the closet”

“You went through h I’m admittedly shocked and pleasantly surprised he didn’t throw them out

“No I didn’t go through your stuff A member of my staff did” He says this like it’s normal for someone else to unpack It’s not Even when my sister ith Ronald, my life wasn’t like this

“How many people do you have employed here?”

“You will meet them later, and you can count for yourself”

“Why do you have to be such a dick all the time?”

“Because I’m my father’s son And if you knew the real him, my sunny personality wouldn’t be such a shock”

“Just get out”

I storm into the room and start to slam the door But just as it’s about to close, Trent steps into the doorframe “I expect you downstairs in my office in thirty minutes”

“Why?”

“To go over the rest of the rules and stipulations of my house”

“Seriously?”

“Yes Seriously” With that, he turns on his heel and leaves, sla the door behind him on his own

I guess it could be worse At least I still have a pulse

It’s not a convincing pick-y to pretty-up my situation

The sound of the sla as this room is barren

If I’ to have to spruce it up

Add a color or two

Maybe an area rug to help make it feel warmer

Like a home

Home

The word makes my heart lurch

I miss my home

I wish I lived with Heather

If I could tell Trent to fuck off, ure out a way to pay for the tuition without his help, I would

Maybe I can take out a loan with a bank and use the will to show the bank that I’h allhim, he would buy that small country just to spite me

Probably wouldn’t work, though

Plus, I don’t want to put Heather out

She doesn’t need to be mixed in with my personal drama
