Grass To Grace;Slave To Queen

......... "Please Mr. Cruz, spare us. We made a terrible mistake, we are sorry............"Mrs Fisher said while on her knees
" Spare you?!, Is this some kind of joke?"The tall man replied
"We made a mistake!. Please we have no where to go" Mr. Fisher joined in the plea
"Well, I'm sorry but not sorry, this District has been set aside for government construction. You won't want to get sued for obstruction of Government work right?!" He replied with a smirk
"Take anything else, but please spare our house, please Commissioner Cruz" Mr. Fisher begged
"You are a bunch of nuisance, what can you possibly offer huh!, Obstruction of Government Work and Trespassing!, You might have to pay a fine of 12million dollars!. Do you have that huge amount of money?" He said and Mr. Fisher's shoulder dropped in defeat
I stared at my family for a while and felt useless. Even if I'll sacrifice alot just to see them in this situation, I couldn't neglect the fact that our house was about to be demolished because of my parents foolish mistake.
I just came back from work and was in an hurry because the mere thought of the punishment for coming back late was nerve wrecking. Well, I felt a little bit of a relieve, atleast now, no one will notice I got home late.
I was still contemplating on what to do, I had to save our house either way because I know I'll always be the one to suffer for the loss. No home means I have to earn extra cash and work extra hour.
I stood up with wobbling legs and finally mustered the courage to talk
"Excuse me sir, I don't think that's enough reasons to demolish our house......... I mean vot-voting is a choice we make and-and I think my family....... my family and the people of this district made that choice be-bec-because they............. " I stopped for a while when I realised the commissioner was moving closer to me and staring at me
"Go on........" He said and kept on moving closer
"I mean absolutely no disrespect sir but-but I think you should consider pardoning us" I said with pain written all over my face. I kept on praying he'll pardon us and........... but then it felt like a wasted wish
"What the heck do you think you're doing you witch?!......." My mom said and pulled me down and I ended up hurting my knee
"So now you go against me then take turns in lecturing me on what you think is right and what is wrong............... " He said with a smirk
"No that's not......... " I couldn't complete my sentence because he suddenly smiled coldly and I felt my heart jump out, We were already in for it, I just complicated the whole issue and there was no way he would forgive us............
"That's intruiging and quite bold........ "
He turned to my parents and finally said...........
............. "I'll take her, in exchange for this District and your title as my inlaw................. "
