Dominate me by Julia Romush (best e reader for epub TXT) 📗

Beautiful ...  

Probably such a girl looked at me on the other side of the mirror, but I saw myself in a completely different light.  

Not so sublime, glamorous and light. My life was nothing like this. Never. And, it felt like it was getting worse and worse every day.  

A simple set ... like half my monthly salary. "Casual underwear" ... I laughed, simply because I couldn't react normally anymore.  

I didn't understand how, and most importantly, why people pay such huge sums for a few straps and a pair of threads. . I didn't understand why I had to pay for it. Even with Artem's money.  

It seemed so stupid to me, but ... fortunately, Ms. Maria voice restored my lost understanding.  

"Mia?". The woman was surprised when she saw me in her office again.  

She immediately reached for the phone, but changed her mind at the last moment.  

"I'm not hoped you would come so soon", she said, confused.  

"I've gathered the necessary documents", I sincerely believed that this time I would succeed.  

Half a year has passed since I padded the thresholds of the orphanage, but it did not bring any results.   

"Yes ...", the woman stretched out hesitantly, "but you understand that this is still not enough ..."  

"How not enough?". - No, I did not understand. I just refused to understand, "I got a job, I have a house, she is my sister. I'm young, healthy ... You even forced me to bring damn medical certificates ... What else do I need to do to allow me to take care of my sister?"

My nerves couldn't stand it. So many times I restrained myself, tried to be polite and tactful. I wanted to make a better impression ... once it seemed to me that Ms. Maria  wanted to help me, but ... it just seemed to me.  

Nobody ever wants to help anyone. Everyone does what is best and most profitable for them ...  

"The thing is that some people want to adopt Eva. Very rich. Full-fledged ..."  

"What do you mean by that?"  

"Nothing", the woman shrugged as if coming to her senses, "only that this", she pointed to all my certificates and documents, - and a simple sisters love is not enough ...  

Inside me, everything seems to have turned to stone. It froze. As I listened, the true essence of what was happening began to reach me.  

And, most importantly, what an impassable fool I was if I believed that Ms. Maria would not try to snatch more.  

"And what is enough? More precisely, how much?". I just realized that I didn't need to speak to this woman in the language of the certificates, but in the language of the greenbacks.  

"There are five people on the adoption commission".She quickly crossed out three numbers, then unfolded it to me, - with this money they will be kinder to you.  

I was dizzy from what I saw. Such money was unreal for me.  

"It's for each separately, of course", it's like the last nail, "and ... it would be nice if you got married ... yet a full family is a big plus."
