The Writer's Romance 41 I Hate My Life

Sheen just sleeps again while they were on their way to the house of Mr. White.

It's a mansion in the middle of the woods.

It's a family house but since Mr. White is the last White, he owns it already.

They only go back once every two weeks but since Sheen arrived, they weren't able to go back.

The lights on the front gates were already open, the guards smile at them when they pa.s.sed by.

The trees and the breeze are fresh and cold.

The city can be seen in their location, Cj takes picture of the city lights behind the trees as they drive.

Sheen is resting on Mr. White's shoulders and he supports her head with his hand to avoid waking her up.

"Dad, Mommy is sad," Cj said while sitting properly and check the photo.

"I know," Mr. White faintly answer.

His chest grew tight when his son mentioned the thing that keeps running in his mind.

"What happened? Is it the same reason she cried earlier?"

"I do not know, but if it is, I will make sure to make them apologize to her."

The butlers and maids greeted them the moment Cj went out of the car.

"I'll carry her," Mr. White said to Cj who's looking at them while standing outside.

"Hey maids, have you prepared an extra room?" Cj asks.

The maids smile at his cuteness even though he is a bit rude, "Yes, Sir Cj."

"Okay," he immediately went inside while checking the photos he took.

Mr. White slowly gets out of the car and the maids and butler were about to greet him again but he just glared at them making them shut their mouth.

When they saw who he is carrying, they all opened their mouth in shock.

'A woman!' they all thought.

He never let any woman in his house even before CJ arrived.

It's a surprise that the visitor they were preparing for is a woman.

Sheen groans while she is in his arms going upstairs to her room.

"What happened, Sheen?" Mr. White asks.

He slowly puts her down in the bed, he was hoping to have dinner with her but she's already asleep.

"Dad? Dinner's ready, is Mommy awake?" Cj appears while holding the doork.n.o.b.

"No, let her rest, we'll eat together," Mr. White stands up but suddenly Sheen woke up.

"Hey," Sheen says in a cracked voice from waking up.

"h.e.l.lo," Mr. White greeted and he sits down on the bed, "We're here."

Sheen sits and rubs her eyes, "Yeah?" she yawns and looks around the room.

It's a huge bedroom with a waterbed and fancy types of furniture.

"Wow, this is your house?" Sheen asks.

"Yes!" Cj runs to them and jumps on the bed.

"This is a family house. It's quite old but as you can see everything is taken care of properly," Mr. White pointed at the antique cabinet.

"Wow, that's so beautiful," she whispers.

"My Mother owned that cabinet," Mr. White said.

Sheen suddenly felt sad for Mr. White but when she saw his face, it does not show sadness but happiness.

He was not like that before, whenever they talk about mothers, he will instantly shut up.

But now, seems like he already accepted that she's gone.

"Yes, Mommy will eat with us," Cj hugs Sheen from the back and kissed her cheek, making Sheen smile.

Mr. White just glares at Cj.

The little kid sticks out his tongue and smiled.

"Let's go down, everyone is waiting," Mr. White said.

"Everyone?" Sheen asks as she stands up.

"Butlers and maids, they prepared a lot!" Cj pulls Sheen towards the door.

They all went down to the dining hall and Sheen was surprised to see a long table full of foods.

There is a line of maids on the right side and butlers on the right.

"Have a great dinner," they said.

Sheen sweats drop with the overwhelming night.

The butlers help Sheen sit by and the maids put on napkins on her lap.

She just smiles with the awkward happenings.

This is like eating out in a fancy restaurant.

"Let's eat!" Cj said while the maids are still putting on a napkin on his chest.

"Cj," Sheen called, "Fix your napkin first."

He is on the other side of the table while Mr. White is in the middle.

"Okay," Cj smiles and personally puts the napkin.

The maids and the butlers got shocked.

He is a disrespectful brat that doesn't even listen to his father, but Sheen, with just simple words, obeyed her.

Mr. White just smiles proudly with how the maids and butlers see Sheen.

"Hey, can we watch a movie later?" Cj asks while his mouth is full.

"No," Mr. White and Sheen said in unison.

"It's already late, you should sleep already," Mr. White said.

"And don't speak when your mouth is full," Sheen added.

Cj just pouts as he chews on his food.

The butlers and maids were shocked.

It's as if the woman is already a mother to Cj.

"Mommy, can I have another gum? The one you gave me at the jet?" Cj asks.

Sheen suddenly stops eating, she got embarra.s.sed by Cj calling her 'mommy' in front of unknown people.

They look at her intently.

He is already calling her mommy which means he is already a wife of their Master.

"No," she answers shortly.

She suddenly became timid.

"Can you all leave? Where is Mr. Rogers?" Mr. White orders.

"Sir," Mr. Rogers appears behind him as the maids and butlers leave the dining hall.

"Sit down and eat, among these servants, you're the only one who doesn't stick their nose to other people's business," Mr. White annoyingly say making sure the others hear it.

Mr. Rogers sits down beside Cj and took his food.

"I am glad to hear that, Sir. Miss Sheen, please don't mind them," Mr. Rogers smiles at her.

They finished eating and went to their room, "Just call me if you need anything or ask any maids or butler," Mr. White said.

He is standing outside Sheen's room while Cj is on her bed.

He begged his dad and Sheen to let him sleep with her.

Mr. White was against it but Sheen said it's okay.

"If he can't make you sleep, just tell me and I'll get him."

"Yes, don't worry," Sheen smiles at him.

Her eyes aren't that red anymore but it is still puffy.

Mr. White unconsciously touched her face and caress her eyes, making Sheen turn into a tomato.

"Sleep well," he said and kissed her forehead before leaving.

Sheen just stares at Mr. White as he walks to his room.

"What happened?" Cj suddenly asks.

Sheen closed the door and shakes her head, "Nothing."

She went and took the towel and clothes on the bedroom bench, "I'll just take a shower, you can sleep first if you want."

"No, I'll wait!" Cj smiles at her while taking his tablet.

Sheen went in the shower room and relax with the flowing water.

'I'll have to talk with Mr. White tomorrow about what they want, this is going to be embarra.s.sing but if that will save my parents, I will do it,' she thought.

She doesn't want to do it but she has to.

She thought she's already free from the past, but here it is, chaining her again.

They've been destroying her life ever since and they are still good at it.

She clenched her first and cried again.

Her tears flow with the water.

Her sobs were covered by the pouring shower.

Cj's already asleep and Mr. White covers him with a quilt.

He was only going to check if Cj's bothering Sheen and is about to go out when he heard her sobs.

Sheen's already out of the shower and is changing into a pajama but her sobs can't be controlled.

She stands in front of the mirror drying her hair and she tries to calm down.

Mr. White stands in front of the bathroom, waiting for Sheen to go out.

'I'll ask now,' Mr. White thought while leaning on the wall.

He can't keep off his mind about what made Sheen cry.

About what happened.

About her life.

About the things he missed.

He wants to know her badly.

Sheen wipes her tears away and takes a deep breath.

She opens the door and saw Mr. White on the left side.

He walks towards her and hugs her tight.

"Sir?" She said, confused by Mr. White's action.

"Please tell me what makes you cry? It's killing me to see you hide your tears," he whispers while brus.h.i.+ng her damp hair.

Suddenly, Sheen trembles, about to break again.

"I hate my life," Sheen whispers.

Mr. White's eyes widen, all this time he was thinking it was Kady, that he is the reason why she cries.

"Let's talk, please. Tell me everything, I will listen if that's the only thing you need," Mr. White looks at her worriedly.

His hands held Sheen's frowning face between, his thumbs brush her cheeks.

"Let's go to the balcony, Cj is a light sleeper, the wind is very refres.h.i.+ng."

Mr. White holds Sheen's hand as he goes to the room's balcony.

There is a table with two seats, they sit while facing each other.

"Why do you hate your life?" Mr. White asks.

His chest felt the same tightness while staring at Sheen's sad face.

He can feel her broken heart shattering to smaller pieces.

Her lips tremble as his fears of not being able to help her rise.

He's afraid that he can't do anything to make her feel happy.

He just wants to see the old happy Sheen who he used to know before.

The one who is brave.

The kind, caring, and happy Sheen.

He just wants to mend her broken pieces and make her whole again.
