Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

We need money"

"We want a new house"

"Wow, you have a very expensive bag. Can I have that?"

"I want your phone. Is that the latest?"

"Let's go shopping tomorrow cousin"

I am dumbfounded as I stare at them. Deus welcomed them inside our house knowing they are my relatives. I really don't want them here but he insisted. They are sitting in the long couch looking around and they keep on stating their requests. I massage my temple as I take a deep breath. Deus is upstairs changing his clothes.

"Why are you here?" I asked them feeling a little annoyed.

Call me rude but I just don't know how to face them. It's been years and meeting them today is unexpected. I can't help but to close my hands in fist because of anger.

"Is that how you greet your family?" my aunt mockingly look at me.

Family huh? Really? She never treated me as one. I was their slave and servant.

"I was never a family" I whispered

"You ungrateful bitch. Don't talk to my mom like that. We raised you. We fed you and we took care of you when you are in need. Show a little respect" Ziah, my cousin pointed her finger at me as she accused me of being ungrateful.

"Just because you became a billionaire's whore you have a gut to treat her like that. You are a gold digger." her sister Giah back her up.

So, I think they are here to insult me. They are unbelievable.

"What exactly do you guys want?" I lazily asked them ignoring their nonsense dramas.

"Money" My aunt said straight to the point. My blood starts to boil. Who does she think she is to demand?

"I won't give you that. Why would you find some work and quit being slothful?” I never got the guts to talk back to her like this before but this time is different.

I need to stand and be brave or else they will take advantage of Deus hard earned money. I don’t have any job right now. Deus is the one who’s providing all my needs.

Her eyes become dark and full of rage. I see that she badly wants to attack me but she just can't. She can't show me her claws and fangs because she is in the Cavelli's house.

"Don't talk like you're spending your own money. You're just a whore. What a leech!" Giah is rolling her eyes on me while flipping her hair long hair.

"You should share your blessings my dear niece. Why won't you give us a little portion of your man's riches. I'm sure it won't hurt" I am having a hard time breathing because of them.

Really? They travel all the way here to ask money from me? And how did they know my address? Tss...

I get my bag and bring out my wallet. I pull all the bills inside of it and hand it to her.

"Here, that's all the money I have. Please leave." I asked them politely. That money is what's been left from my savings.

"What? These is all you have? This is not enough. I can't even buy us a one-month groceries from this." she complained and look at the money like it is a piece of dirt in her hands.

Now, tell me who is ungrateful. She even throws it back at my face.

What the....

Heaven stays calm. She's still your aunt.

"What are you doing?" I asked her in rage because I can't just let it go. I feel my own nails digging in my palms. I am trying my best to control myself.

"You never change ugly duckling, I raised you and that is all I can get from you? What a selfish and stinky bitch. Your boyfriend is a goddamn billionaire! A very well-known man who owns a lot of company! Why don't you ask him a lot of money! I'm sure he won't mind. We need money. It's the right time for you to give back to what we had gave you!" she shouted at me

I kneel in the ground picking up my money. I know it doesn't cost millions but it is still money. It has value. It is acquired through a lot of effort.

"You didn't give me anything. Everything I had, I earned them. I work hard for them. The food I ate was all your left overs. The clothes I used to wear was a donation from random people who pitied me. The house we used to live in was my dad’s, wasn't it? You never treated me like a family. I was your slave. So, tell me what good things did you gave me? You deprived me of everything." I said looking down at the ground while clasping the bills in my hand.

She remained silent. Maybe realization finally hit her and kill her fantasy.

"You want money from me?" I slowly raised my head to meet her eyes. "I am sorry to say but this is all I have. I was terminated from my job. Deus money is not mine. I don't claim anything here as mine. He helped me a lot and I won't let you take advantage of him like the way you did to me. He doesn’t deserve that." I gave them a glare.

They can take what's mine but I will never let them use Deus for their personal interest.

"Tsss. Quit that, drama queen. Stop acting like you are not using him. You are just being selfish. So, what if I seduce him instead so he will leave you. I'm sure he can't resist me. I am more beautiful, sexier and classier than you. I can't even understand why he picked you as his girlfriend when he can have someone else better." Ziah is flaunting her body like she is the sexiest woman alive.
