of course you did

"It's adorable that you think I waited to do this without any precaution" you said as you stood up unceremoniously dropping her face up on the floor, you walked to the island counter that separates the living room and the kitchen, it was mostly used to pile up dirty dishes or unopened correspondence and you pulled some papers.

The first one Zack remembers barely, it was a document you asked him to sign while he was flirting with a co-worker last week and paid no mind as he gave his signature without thinking it twice.

"This is a consent form that you signed willingly that allowed me to give you an X-change pill without any legal repercussions, usually reserved for community service or punishment when you rack a high debt" you left out the hassle you went to get one of these but your boss was enough to help you get you one.

"And this one, as always you don't read your mail and since you snuck out early last Friday you didn't know" you pulled a letter meant for Zack revealing a pink slip, "After my promotion, there was a drop in productivity the department and after some interviews, you were singled out as the cause, of course, my testimony help clarify the point that you were a liability" "Why wasn't I told about this?" she asked with horror on her face.

"Again you got out early on Friday so when HR asked for you no one found you and you didn't give your side of the story, and with everyone saying that they wouldn't miss you the process was made over the weekend" you told her with an exaggerated shrug.

You can see the realization in her face when you revealed that she had no legal leg to stand on and your co-workers taking your side, one thing was clear, she was screwed.

Stepping towards her you kneeled so she can see your face clearly as you laid down the new rules.

"You will listen and you'll do it clearly, here's how things are going to be from now on, you will be receiving unemployment checks due to the wording in the termination of your employment, that money will be mine to spend, you will still be living here, but you won't set foot outside of this apartment, you will be doing the chores that you left me doing all this time and you will do anything I say without protest, are we clear"

"Bu-but for how long I'll be like this?" it amazes you that she didn't just squeaked out a 'yes', leaving you to ponder, you tell her how long this arrangement will last or you will lie to give her false hope?
