Mummy I got you a new husband

Davis POV

” Dad stop, you are hurting me.” I grunted as we approached my room. Dad had gripped me tightly and forced me to go to my room. He was outraged with my actions, but I did not care. I did not want Selene or her mother at the house.

As soon as he let go of me, I looked at my hands to check whether I had been injured. His firm grip had made my hand appear reddish and it hurt a little. I turned to face him when I saw there was nothing else.

” Dad you hurt me, just because of Selene?” I murmured as tears streamed down my face, I do not believe he would punish me because of a complete stranger and a poor pauper at that.

“I didn’t hurt you, I had to bring you here because you were being a jerk.” He said furiously as he told me how i didn’t have the right to speak so rudely at his house. I wondered why he defended them so much when we barely even knew them.

” You are grounded!!” Dad yelled angrily, enraged by my behaviour and the disrespectful way I addressed Selene and mother. It seemed to have developed a fondness for Selene which irritated me even more.

Selene was one of the students at school I didn’t really get along with. I could not believe dad was talking their side over me and I felt hurt. As he turned to go, I told him I wasn’t going to be punished by being locked down at the house for addressing Selene the way I did. As far as I was concerned, I didn’t do anything wrong.

” You can’t lock me down in this house for saying the truth, besides you lied about mum.” I remarked to my father, and he turned to give me a really stern look. He was enraged by my what I said and dashed towards me, extending his fist to hit me.

I lowered my face as he approached me. i was scared he was going to hurt me for real. Dad had never raised his hand before, I guess he must have been so furious with what I did.

I noticed he lowered his hand after gazing at me for a moment. motioned to leave the room.

” Never talk to me in that tone ebe again. I hope this would give you enough time to think about what you have done and be remorseful about it.” He said again as he left the room shutting the door behind him. As I watched him leave, tears flowed freely from my eyes. I

I could not believe all that was happening and how I could not do anything about it and cried even more.

” I wish you were here mum, I just hope you are ok.” I muttered again as I picked up my phone to dial her number. I was grateful dad did not remember to collect my phone, at least that was sure to keep me company till he came to open the door and let me out.

I called my mum and the line did not go through which had been the usual for months. It had gone straight to voice mail and I decided to drop a message hoping she would call back afterwards.

” Mum, come back home. I miss you.” I said and ended the call. I decide to play a game on my phone to get my mind off everything happening and cheer me up a bit.

Soon my phone rang, it was an unknown caller and I hesitated in picking up the call but decided against it as I thought it could be mum calling. I picked up the phone and the caller didn’t say anything for a while, I wanted to end the call when I heard the most lovely voice. The caller spoke so calmly and even though I wasn’t sure who it was, I quickly dried my eyes.

” Hi Davis, it’s Jade. The girl you met at the park. I hope you remember?” She asked me if I remembered who she was after introducing herself.

” How could I ever forget you?” I muttered to myself carried away with by how she spoke that I forgot I was supposed to reply.

” Hello.” She said again and I soon regained my composure. I had been day- dreaming another moment with her. I was nervous as I spoke and wasn’t sure about what to respond.

” Hi….. Jade, thank you for calling.” I responded and soon enough we got talking like we did at the park. She was so easy to talk to and we spoke at length. I was happy she called. She indeed made my evening and I soon forgot I was grounded.

Soon enough she asked about mum as I had told her about her at the park.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

” Is your mum back now?” She asked me and I sighed wondering if it was necessary to tell her all that had been happening.

” Emm, She isn’t but she will be back soon.” I responded and she seemed disturbed with my response as she asked me if I was alright.

” I am fine, Jade. Dnt worry too much about me.” I responded reassuring her everything was fine at home and that mum would soon be back.

I knew Dad had returned when I heard the door being unlocked. I did not want him to see me on the phone. I wasn’t ready to lose my phone if the time had not elapsed and the punishment would be extended.

” Can I call you back?” I asked her if it was okay and she asked me why I wanted to end the call.

” I need to attend to something. I will call you in a moment I promise.” I told her and she said it was fine as far as I called her right back.

As soon as the call ended I noticed someone walk in.

” Dad!!” I called out but didn’t hear any response.
