Married To More Men Than Usual

1

Kendra POV

"Quickly! Hurry up! The groom is waiting and your sister is fainted!" My mother said from the other side of the phone.

"I'm almost there already. Just some minutes more please." I begged.

"Minutes more? I called you just twenty minutes ago and you want more minutes?! Better get here this instant!" Mom yells and ends the call.

I signed and tried breathing in and out slowly but this damned gown won't let me.

Why does my life have to be this way? Why?

The driver stopped at a huge church and standing right in front of it is my dad and mom.

"What took you so long?!" Mom yells.

"We don't have time for this. Come. Follow me in." Dad says.

I cross my arm with his and he starts walking me towards the bridegroom.

The bridegroom looks at me with a happy smile but he doesn't know that he is getting married to the wrong bride or so I thought.

After some other things, of which my mind totally blanked out, it finally got to the part where I am asked,

"Do you, Miss Rose, take Richard as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"You may kiss the bride."

Richard leaned in for a kiss but I hesitate.

I turn my face away but then my eyes clashes with the death glares of my parents.

I turn back to Richard and he kisses me. What? Didn't he see or notice anything? Why are they all like this? Every single one of them keep behaving this way.

Are he kisses new all the guests get up from their seats and claps.

I even threw my bouquet when it got to that part but went back to my sad self when everything was finally over.

Hi, my name Kendra. Miss Kendra is what I take myself as.

For me, I don't have a husband. A definite husband to be precise.

You might all be wondering what's going on.

Well, let me tell you. That wedding was fixed for me at that very moment and so was others before it.

Yes, you heard me right, others before it.

Every time my step sister says yes to a man and changes her mind at the last minute I get put in her place.

This has been happing since I got to the age of eighteen. My step sister was twenty at that time and that was also the time she started this whole act of hers.

My entire life has been controlled by my parents and my step sister. The weird thing is that I am their own daughter.

My step sister, Kira, is the adopted one among us. I don't even know what she has done or is doing to my parents but they agree to her every command.

She also had some dirt on me that forced me to do whatever she wants. It's all the fault of my maid and ex tutor.

Mr and Mrs Donaldson are my parents and also big business tycoons.

There is nothing in this world that matters to them than S.M.K

That is, Status, Money, and finally, Kira.

I'm just nothing but a puppet in their hands.

All this was the fault of my stupid maid and that damned tutor of mine and it happened when I was eighteen years old.

I never knew that Kira would go this far.

But this story seems to move too fast. I need to start from the very beginning so you will understand my situation and why I have to follow every single command of theirs.

It all started long ago when I was just a kid. I'll start with when I was ten so you will understand what my relationship used to be with my parents, even after Kira was adopted. I used to be the loved princess of my parents...

"Mommy! Mommy! Look what I made for you." I said to my mom.

Dad was seated beside her and watching television.

"Aww. What is it?" She asked.

"It's a card mommy. Happy birthday." I said.

"It's pretty dear. I love it! But... It's not my birthday." She replied to me.

"Oh... But I thought I calculated it well this time..." I said in a sad tone of voice.

"Oh dear." Mom said and carried me, placing me on her laps.

"It's the thought that matters." She said to me.

"Don't worry. We will still throw a party to celebrate it. We will celebrate that our little Kendra made a beautiful card for mommy." Dad said.

"Thank you dad!" I said, jumping in excitement.

I got down from mommy's lap and hugged dad.

"Okay now run along." Dad said.

I left them in the living room and went up to my room.

That night we had the the best party in our lives, just the three of us. Until I slept off in the middle of it that is.

The next morning after waking up, I walked down the stairs and met dad and mommy in dinning room.

"Good morning mommy. Good morning dad." I greeted.

"Good morning princess. How was your night?" Mommy asked.

"Wonderful!" I cheered.

I had always been so energetic and fun living since the start.

"Okay. Better hurry up in preparing for your lesson. The tutor will be here soon." Dad said.

"Okay." I said.

After I was finally ready for the first lesson and the tutor had arrived, my parents picked up their suitcases.

"We'll be back with a surprise for you." Mommy said.

"Surprise? What is the surprise?" I asked.

"Haha. Just wait till we return." Dad said.

They both left and my tutor started his lesson. I was never allowed to go out of the house or even go to school.

I was such a fragile and precious diamond, at least that's what my parents told me.

I haven't told anyone about this but rich have this super crush on my tutor.

Yes he is older than me but what do you expect? I haven't seen any males apart from my dad and uncle.

My uncle is the only one apart from my parents that I know. You don't expect me to crush on a relative.

The age difference between I and my tutor isn't really that much. I'm ten and he's just... Twenty five... Okay there's much difference but that doesn't mean I can't crush on him.

He is so cute and looked so young and is well built as well.

After the lesson it was time for my tutor to go.

"Okay Kendra I'm leaving now. I'm so impressed with your improvement in studies everyday." My tutor said to me.

"Really?" I said with a bright smile.

"Yes. You're such a smart little girl." He said, giving me a pat on the head.

He was about to leave but I held his hand with both my hands.

"Please stay. My parents are always leaving me all alone in the house. And they always come back late. By then I'm already asleep on the couch." I explained.

I made puppy eyes at him so he wouldn't say no.

"Well... Okay fine but just this once okay?" My tutor said.

"Yes!" I said, excitedly.

"Okay now come with me." I said, dragging him to a chair.

I sat him down there and went up to pick a movie.

I picked Tom and Jerry of course. My parents had but all for me cause I'm such a fan. I was so sure that adults enjoyed it too.

I went down the stairs and inserted it and turned on the television.

A maid even got us some pop corn. We watched the Tom and Jerry movie and laughed together till night time when I finally fell asleep with my head on his lap.

Cherry POV

I nodded at Kendra's tutor from behind where Kendra couldn't see me and he agreed to stay.

Kendra Sat him down in front of the television and ran up to get something.

As soon as she was out of sight I went straight to Brandon, her tutor.

"Hi." I said, shyly.

"Hey, nice to meet you. I see you are very close to Kendra, seeing the way you wanted me to stay for her." Brandon said.

"Yes I am. Would you like to have anything?" I asked him nicely.

"No, it's okay." He answered.

"Please you'd have to eat something or at least a drink since you are staying longer here." I persisted.

"I really don't want to..."

"Great! Do you want wine or juice?" I interrupted.

"Fine, I will have just one glass of juice but that's it." He replied.

Just then Kendra came down from her room. She played the cartoon which she had brought down with her and quickly sat next to Brandon.

I returned to the kitchen and while the corn was being popped, I poured to glasses of juice and spiked one and poured a little sleeping powder in the other one.

I first gave them the popcorn and then went to the kitchen and returned with the glasses of juice.

I gave the one with some different substance in it to Brandon and then gave the one with sleeping powder to Kendra

She's a kid and would have probably slept off on her own but I couldn't take that chance.

As soon as she slept off while watching television, I carried her up to her room. When I returned to Brandon he was already being controlled by what I had put in his drink.

Brandon was such a decent guy and would probably reject me if I asked him out or offered him what I was about to do so I had no other choice but this.

I went straight towards him and sat at his side.

"Are you okay?" I asked, feigning innocence.

"I... I don't know... I feel dizzy." He replied.

"Come, I'll take you to your room." I said and put one of his arms over my neck.

The substance is already messing with his head so he is probably thinking he is already at his place.

I took him to my room instead and I locked the door with my key after laying him down on my bed.

Now it's just the two of us in the room. I set up the camera where everything would be recorded in full and I started my goal.

I started to kiss him and of course he kiss back. He didn't know what he was doing.

While in the middle of everything, boss and his wife rang the doorbell. I was shocked out of my wits.

I did not expect them to return so soon. I had to do something.

I pushed Brandon of me and I turned off the camera. At least I had recorded enough.

I put on my clothes and locked Brandon in my room before going to open the front door.

It's a good thing they always advise me to lock the door shut at night. If they had just walked in I wouldn't have noticed anything.

They both came in and there was this girl they had with them but the girl was hidden behind them.I would have asked them about the but that was the least of my worries.

"Welcome sir. Welcome ma'am." I said.

"Why do you look like you rushed your clothes on?" Madam questioned me.

I quickly thought of an excuse and came up with the best I could.

"I was about to change into my jammies when I heard the doorbell ring." I answered her.

"And your hair. Why is it so messed up?" She asked.

I didn't know what to say to that but when I opened my mouth, not really wanting to say anything, the boss spoke up.

"Come on honey, we only just returned. Let's go and rest. Leave the maid to herself." Boss said.

Madam looked at me suspiciously but didn't say a word more to me.

"Okay fine." She said.

They went up the stairs with the little girl and I only closed the front door without locking it. I needed to get Brandon out.

I unlocked the door to my room and saw that he was slowly starting to get his senses back.

No no no, not while in my room. I quickly helped him up and got out of the mansion with him already before he could finally stand on his own.

He ruined against his head.

"Wh... What happened?" He asked.

After some time he turned to me. I was still standing there.

"Wait... What happened?" He asked.

"Nothing. You were just about to leave. Kendra fell asleep and I had taken her to her room." I answered him.

"I don't remember a thing after that but I guess I should be on my way now." He said.

"Okay I'm leaving now." He said and started walking off.

This is just so easy.

I locked the front door and started walking back to my room. I almost tripped on something and it turned out to be Brandon's things.

Nothing but books, a pen, pencils, and a ruler. Nothing interesting.

I kept it on a drawer in my room and slept off on bed.

Kendra POV

I woke up in my room the next morning and rubbed against my eyes with my hands.

I went to the kitchen and asked the maid that had given us popcorn about Mr Brandon.

Although my parents are filthy rich, they only hired three maids. Two shared a room in the house while one had her own room but those weren't as big as my room.

Cherry is the head maid in a way.

"Oh, he left last night." Cherry replied with a smile across her face.

"Okay. But who took me to my room?" I asked.

"I did. My Brandon wasn't aloud to go to your room." Cherry said.

"Your Brandon?" I asked.

The maid almost panicked but pulled herself together immediately.

"I said Mr Brandon." Cherry opposed.

"No you didn't I heard my Brandon." I said.

"Young miss I said Mr. You are feeling sleepy that's why you misheard. Now let's go to the dinning room. Your parents have a surprise for you." Cherry said.

"Okay." I said.

I started walking to the dinning room and she followed from behind with a tray of food.

I sat at the table and greeted my parents as usual but this time there was something different.

There was someone else at the table. A girl that looked my age.

The girl looked at my and that shocked me more.

She had my... She had my face...

"Mommy!" I screamed and ran to my mom.

"What's wrong with you?" Mommy asked.

"Mommy who's that?!" I asked.

"I need a maid here." Mommy called out.

A maid arrived.

"Please show Kira her new room." Mom said to the maid.

The maid gestured Kira to follow her and they both left.

"That's Kira. She is your twin sister." Mommy answered.

"Twin? Since when? Where had she been?" I asked.

"We lost her since childbirth and now we found her in an orphanage." Dad explained.

"So she is my long lost sister?" My innocent self asked.

"Yes of course darling." Mommy said and hugged me.

"Now when she comes back, I want you to welcome her with open arms." Dad said.

"Okay dad." I agreed.

The maid returned to the dining room with Kira and I got up from my seat and sat next to Kira after she was seated.

"Hi, I'm Kendra your sis." I introduced myself.

Kira smiled at me and started to eat. That wasn't the response I expected so I turned to my parents who then turned to Kira.

"Won't you introduce yourself to her as well?" Mom asked.

"Sorry mom, I forgot." She apologized and then turned to me.

"Hi, nice to finally meet you. My name is Kira." She said to me and extended her hand for a shake.

I ignored her hand and gave her a hug instead. I had a sister now.

I smiled at mom and dad and they seemed happy.

We ate our breakfast and as usual i got myself ready for my tutor's arrival.

When I walked into the living room I spotted Kira in new clothes.

"Kira nice outfit. Where did you get it?" I asked her curiously.

Kira looked at me and smiled.

"It's a uniform. I'm starting school today." She answered.

"School?" I asked.

"Yes, school." Kira answered.

I've always wanted to go to school and make new friends but I got home schooled instead.

I ran to mom's room and she was busy with some papers, already wearing her work clothes.

"Mom?" I said.

"Yes darling?" She answered.

"Can I go to school? I want a uniform too." I said to her.

"Of course you can get a uniform dear." She answered, totally ignoring my request to attend school.

"But what about school?" I asked her.

"Oh dear you know you are too special to mix with those other kids. What if they give you diseases?" Mom said.

"I just want to make friends." I said, feeling sad.

"That's why you have Kira now. She's going to play with you whenever she returns from school." Mom said.

"But how come Kira gets to go to school?" I questioned her.

"How about I get you ice cream when I'm back from work?" She offered, trying to change the topic.

"Okay but I want vanilla flavour." I said to her.

"You got it." She said and I giggled happily.

I went back down the stairs to find Kira smiling sweetly at me.

"How did it go?" She asked me.

"Mom offered to buy me ice cream when she returns." I answered.

"So you are not going to school?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'm home schooled already and now I got ice cream coming." I said and smiled.

Kira looked a bit sad but changed her mood immediately.

"I guess that's cool too." Kira said.

"Oh just look at the time. The driver must be waiting for me outside. Bye." Kira said and waved me goodbye.

"Bye." I said and waved back.

She left and I went to the part of the house I usually had my lessons and waited for Mr Brandon.

Brandon POV

I woke up and my head started to ache. I look at the clock in front of me and I was lucky enough to still have time on my side.

I got up from bed and and the headache just got worse. I just need a cold bath and that would do the trick, I hope.

I entered the bathroom and took off my clothes. I turned the shower on and stood under it. I let the water run down my entire body from my head.

Now I feel calm. I took my bath and came out with a towel wrapped round my waist.

I sat on my bed and started to think.

What really happened after Kendra fell asleep? I can't remember a thing after that.

I'll just go to work today. It doesn't really matter what I remember. After all, the only thing I do is teach Kendra and that was it. Maybe I just stayed asleep throughout that's why.

After putting on some clothes I reached for my teaching materials what it wasn't there.

Where is it?

I searched the entire house and still couldn't find them. I sat back on a chair to rest.

It's a difficult life to live alone.

After I finished college I just wanted to be a teacher.

My parents hated my choice and threatened to kick me out of their house. But as stupid as I was I took out all my savings and rented a place for myself.

I haven't talked to them ever since. I had this passion for teaching and I wasn't ready to leave it behind for anything or anyone.

Luckily for me I met Mr Donaldson who saw it in me and hired me to teacher his daughter. I've been working for her since she was a kid.

The only thing keeping me here is the money I earn from them. I don't want to loose my job and end up being kicked out of my house and left with no food to eat.

This job is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Wait, that's it. Maybe I left my materials at their place last night. I hope it is there.

I got up, locked my house and took a taxi.

On my way to the mansion I saw Mr and Mrs Donaldson's cars. They are already on their way to work.

I paid the taxi after we reached my destination and I went ahead and rang the doorbell once I reached their front door.

A maid opened the door and I was glad to see that it was the same one that offered me juice last night.

"Oh, good morning. Come right in." She said.

I went inside and she closed the door.

"It's nice to see you here again." She said.

"I'm here five days a week. You only just noticed?" I asked her.

"Sorry about that. It's just that we only started talking last night." The maid said.

I don't think I have time to get into any conversation with a maid right now.

"Speaking of last night I..."

"Yes, you don't know my name. I'm Cherry." The maid said and extended her hand to me.

"Okay I'm Brandon." I said and shook hands with her.

"I was trying to say, I think I forgot my materials here last night." I said to her.

"Ah yes. I saw them." Cherry replied.

"You did? Thanks, I was starting to loose hope." I said.

"No problem. Just follow me and you will get them." Cherry said and started walking away while I followed her from behind.

While walking I saw that Kendra was already waiting for me.

"Excuse me." I said. The maid turned around.

"Yes?" Cherry said.

"I'm going to meet Kendra. Please help out and bring it to us." I said.

Cherry looked angry but quickly changed it to a smile.

"Sure. I'll do just that." Cherry said.

"Thank you." I said and started walking away.

I was sure I heard her mumble something but I ignored it.
