A Wife for Hire: The Trillionaire's Contract Wife
(School Bullies)
Chapter Eleven
Marilyn woke as early as 6:00 the alarm she set buzzed right on time.
Immediately she went for a wash, charge into a white linen shirt and skirt, and hurriedly went to the girls room to found them awake wide eyed. Their eyes a bit swollen, and their lips cracked a bit. Were they up all night, she could spot the exhaustion in their faces.
"Hello girls it's your first day of school for the term." She says excitedly her smile wide, and brilliant.
Their stared at her oddly. She waved their expressions she was no stranger to their behavior any longer.
"Okay go into the bathroom to shower while I make breakfast and help in getting everyone ready." Marilyn clapped her hands together and left the room. She prepared a nice english breakfast with lots of fruits, and vegetables and greek yoghurt she made the night before.
Once it was ready the chef served it at the dinning table while she went back into the room, and helped the girls get dressed, combed their hair styled it perfectly, and added a bow each on the Centre piece.
The kids made it to breakfast eating their meals silently. Marilyn left the dinning making her way to the room to change when she ran into Ella.
"Going somewhere Marilyn?"
"Ella…"
"Great performance you pulled last night. Aaron was impressed with your cooking skills last night, and has relegated the duties of the children from me fully to you. Duties that were mine to carry out. But the thing is you're like a shiny toy new, beautiful to behold but very disposable when the zeal turns cold, and glitter fades."
"And why is that your business Ella? Elders should act their age, and be worthy characters of emulation rather than complicate relationships over ego. I don't have to explain my intentions. My name is Marilyn, and I don't run in fact of danger." She stated proudly her confidence took Ella by storm.
"Let me warn you it's not going to last mark my words, and I'm going to make sure of it." Ella gritted out.
"Bring your best bet." Marilyn countered bravely.
Marilyn walked out leaving Ella paranoid. Her heart thumping in her chest Marilyn truly wasn't like the others scared, and ready to conform she was a woman with great principles.
And her hardest task.
****************************
Marilyn followed the kids to school, and when it was closure time she arrived with the driver to pick them up for school. Her nature unchanging, and her smile radiant. She patiently waited at a spot.
"Paige, and Piper!" She happily waved as she spot the girls. Her face changed when the second girl wasn't Paige but another girl followed by two other girls dragging Piper by the arm to a secluded area of the school.
Marilyn left the car following beside the girls, and stopped at a good distance to see what's happening.
A larger girl was poking Piper's face. Piper looked scared, ready to run but stuck in a place. Two other girls held her hands firmly.
"The little gargoyle." The large girl who seemed to be their leader squeezed Piper's fingers twisting it painfully behind her back.
"Stop you're hurting me." Piper cried tears leaking from her eyes.
"Hurry before her sisters finds us." One of the girls says looking around hoping nobody else is watching. The large girl kept poking Piper, and shoved her terribly to the ground.
"We have mothers, and you don't. Why don't you call your dead mother to come save you Dumbo?" The girls mocked.
"Shut up!" Piper found her voice. Scared but brave. Her hands tightened against her sides.
"Hand it over." The leader of the girls barked, and collected a pack of juice she emptied the content on a crying Piper, throwing the empty can she reached for a pack of water in a bottle, and splurge it content all over Piper's hair, face, and spiking up her school uniform.
The girls broke into laughter.
"Are you no longer brave anymore Piper Buckley? You t believe you're better than us because your dad is extremely wealthy, and has shares in this school? Now look at your lowly self."
Piper laid on the floor crying her hearts out. Her face soiled with water, and orange juice.
"Hey hurry go clean up, and pretend nothing is happening." The main orchestrator screamed into Piper's ears, and turned around to attempt leaving.
Before the girls could hurriedly leave Marilyn blocked their path. Marilyn secretly recorded the exchange on camera the best way to handle the bullies, and get them rusticated from the school to save not just Piper but other kids from similar harm.
How long has the bullying been going on? Why was those girls taunting Piper's late mom and with the vitriol in those kids the bullying was constant then how didn't Aaron Buckley catch wind of the happenings? Anger burned in her chest Marilyn knew what it means to be bullied she has walked down that path and the dehumanizing nature of bully set her blood on fire.
The questions hanged in Marilyn's throat but first she has to protect Piper. It hurt her not intervening earlier but the evidence was needed. She crouched to the floor picking Piper from the ground, wiping her tears and helping her to her feet before she turned to face the girls.
"Prayers answered her mother is here."
The kids was startled in fear one gulped an unknown lump the other tried to run but Marilyn stopped her path holding a large stick behind her back.
"Ma'am we are sorry." Two of the girls begged falling to their knees crying.
"Wrong person why are you sorry when it's I you haven't offended. Go ahead apologize on your knees!"
"Please forgive us Piper."
"We are sorry Piper…" the girls cried hot tears their eyes swollen from crying.
They used to be careful all the time. Bully Piper to an extent she's convulsing in fear and then they bully her to change her clothes and pretend nothing happened and it usually worked. Piper will be back at school the next day like nothing happened. It thrilled them. The fascination to bully her over, and over again came open to them strongly.
Piper appeared as the perfect kid with the perfect family and super wealthy while their parents worked from dawn to dusk, and barely could afford all the bills and so the kids took out their frustration on their victim. And other two of the kids parents openly discussed Aaron Buckley he was their biggest rival in the business world and it was a slap to their faces whenever he won awards and broke mightier barriers. Their parents pain became their own problems so they dealt with the weakest link. Piper was the perfect punching bag to take their vileness. She never reported the ordeal and so it continued for long. They made sure not to give a scar but haunting enough to keep her on her toes.
"Too late save those tears for the authorities."
Marilyn shoved the larger girl to the ground, and stepped on her neck not enough to break but insulting to punish. "Get ready to suffer for your atrocities. Do the crime face the punishment." She pulled away took Piper by the arm, and led her to the car.
