Empty. That's how she felt. She carried the wailing toddler down the street into the store. The two younger girls starving and exhausted walking alongside her. She strolls up to the produce section and grabs some onions and a bell pepper. The younger girls split up, the older of the two girls got a few bags of rice. The smaller girl got a couple tubes of ground beef. She watches the children thoroughly. Making sure she did everything she needed to do while they were in her line of eyesight. She sees the smaller girl eyeing some cookies and ice cream. The older girl sends her a little look that they didn't know the oldest girl saw. Sending them to the outside she goes and grabs the ice cream and the cookies along with the other things they were going to buy. She pays for the food and hides the cookies and ice cream.
"Come on girls, let's hurry home before it gets dark." She says in a smooth voice to the girls. "Ok," Both reply to her. The baby fell asleep on the way home and the older kids brought the bags home. They start putting groceries away as soon as they get to the house. They see the ice cream and yell, waking up their mother.
Ebony POV
"WHY THE FUCK YOU SCREAMING AND SHOUTING IN MY GOD DAMNED HOUSE. HAVE YOU LOST YO GOD DAMNED MIND." Our Momma led out her bedroom with her disturbing boyfriend trailing after her. He never made a pass at me but he always watched my little sisters. Momma knows about it but she doesn't say anything to him. She simply lets him say and do whatever he wants. That's specifically why I get them to school and take them to work with me. Even though it's not a place for kids. I work in a strip club.
My boss is my uncle on my dad's side. He has a proper place for the twins because he can't take custody of them. Momma won't let him. I won't leave them here with her alone. So to take care of them I work in one of his clubs. I have to pay for their food and put money away for their college. Momma makes sure they have the bare minimum. She leaves peanut butter and bread, maybe a little bit of sandwich meat. Other than that she blows most of her money on herself and her boyfriend. She doesn't worry about them.
My uncle controls 23 buildings. 9 Male Strip clubs, 9 Female Strip Clubs, and 5 Bars. He obtains ample amounts of money to take care of us but momma believes it's her right to make us miserable because she says we make her miserable.I'm ripped from my thoughts as my son, Omar wakes up bellowing. I reach over and grab him. He sleeps in my room because momma doesn't want to know he's here, but in all fairness so do my siblings. My little Sister, Izzy sleeps on the twin bed with her twin Unique. My little boy sleeps in bed beside me. I make sure they are with me because I don't want Moms disgusting ass boyfriend, David, to get to them.
3rd POV
Holding her son she cried silently so she wouldn't wake up the twins since they had cried themselves to sleep. She had a car left from her uncle but her mom had told her she'd make sure to hurt let her boyfriend "babysit" Unique for a week. Meaning she'd kick Omar, Izzy, and her out and leave for a business trip without taking David and leaving Unique with him. Ebony finally cried herself to sleep hold Omar in her arms.
Atlanta walked around her house. She walked into the room that used to just be ebony's room and looked at her three children and her grandson. She didn't have a look of regret for anything she has done to them. She only wishes she could have done even more things to them. She hates them. They ruined her whole life. In her mind, they ruined her body, her relationships, and her chance at life. In her mind they ruined everything. So she does the same to them. Verbally and mentally abusing Ebony has become a game. Hitting the twins was almost as much fun to her as most people like to watch tv. tonight she planned to do the thing that would put the icing on the cake of destroying them all.
She picks up her phone and calls the one person she knows can do that for her. She calls their father. Marcus would have loved his kids he just didn't know he had kids. He was very rich and famous. He always wanted kids but his wife couldn't have them. Atlanta had been sleeping with him for the first time his wife, Makayla, lost their baby. She got pregnant the first time they slept together on purpose. She knew he had a lot of money, But that's not what she was coming for. She wanted the name. He was close to the youngest child in the Rothschild family.
Power was all she was worried about. She faked having feelings and he even left his wife for her falling in love. She faked all of their life together. She was the reason his first wife couldn't have kids. She poisoned her with metal and made the woman infertile. She's been planning to get close to him since she was 23. Now she was 37 with 3 kids, a grandchild, a booming company, and a 43-year-old boyfriend. It still wasn't enough for her. She still wanted the name. She almost had it but she got pregnant. She wanted to have everything at her feet but she was so much better than the other power hungry girls. She was smarter. She had things planned before and set her entire life around it.
Atlanta POV
"I should call him. Tell him about his kids." I say to David "Just to ruin his life and make him wish he had never gone back to that stupid bitch."
David looks at me like I'm crazy. I hate David. He always talks about getting married. I know he doesn't love me. He has a sick love for one of my children. I hate her too. She and her other siblings ruined my body. I hate the oldest one the most though. She kept her body nice after she had a baby. It isn't fair. I had to work hard to get my body back.
"I'm leaving" I hear a voice behind me
Ebony POV
"I'm leaving," I say to my mother as she turned around looking at me like I've grown a 2nd head.
"Be back in the house by 12 am then. You don't need to announce shit to me. I don't care." She said sounding uninterested
"I don't think you understand. I'm leaving and I'm taking the twins with me." I say in a strong voice
My mother again looks at me like I'm crazy. Then she does something I haven't seen her do in a long time. She laughed at me.
"You can take your little spawn, but mine stay with me. Plus where are you going to go? To his father. You don't have anyone else other than me. I'm all you got. I'm all you'll ever have. Nobody wants you." She snarls at me
" I'm going to uncle Sinclaire's house," I say in a disrespectful tone. She looks at me with a surprised look.
" I-i don't have any brothers. And you don't know who your father is. He didn't have any brothers either." She starts our stuttering but caught herself
" I know who my father is. I know who my uncle is and I know who I'm going to go live with. Uncle Sinclaire is gonna take care of the twins. I'm going to look for a place with the money I've been saving from the club. We don't need you anymore."
I take one good look at her before I walk out her life for good. I walk back to our old room and pack our bags. I leave two outfits on our bed. Matching ones for the girls and me. Also one for Omar.
