Harold entered his house and met Davina, his mother, waiting for him with legs crossed as she majestically sat on the couch, her back relaxed on the backrest.

Harold ground his teeth and paced to her front. “What are you doing here?” He threw a question.

Davine gradually raised her eyebrows and immediately, as her eye landed on his face, she responded with a harsh tone. “Is that the proper way to greet your mother?”

Harold blew heavy air through his mouth and brushed his hand over his head as he held his waist with his left hand. “I changed the passcode. How did you get in? How did you have access to bang into my house?!”

Davina chuckled. “Your house or mine?” She asked with a cool voice and cracked up. “Boy, have you forgotten this is Harrison Villa? This mansion belongs to me. Isn’t questioning how I have access to my property a little rude?”

Harold scoffed. “And when will you get used to me speaking to you rudely?” He asked. He dug his hand into his pocket and fixed his eyes on her

    “Harold, by tagging me as an old witch, you have a purpose, and I can manipulate events to make history repeat itself to get what I want. I have nothing to lose. Sarah is the one who will suffer.”Harold's eyes widened, and his lips quivered, yet he forced out a word. “You're not involving Sarah in this! This doesn’t concern her in any way!” He warned, pointing his finger at her.Davina snickered. “I dragged no one into the mess right from the beginning. If anyone is to be blamed, Harold, it will be you,” she said, relaxing her back on the couch. “It’s your fault. You want to prove stubbornness which will yield you no good. You start it all, Harold. Listen to me and all this will stop.”“What do you want?” Harold asked. He expected an immediate response, but he raised his voice since he didn’t get one. He threw another question in a raised voice. “What the hell do you want, woman?”Davina beamed and raised her shoulders. “The same things I’ve always requested from you- stay away from

    Mia entered and all the workers instantly paused what they were doing. They divided themselves into two and formed a line at the left and right, leaving enough space for Mia to walk freely between them.“Good morning!” They greeted her with raised voices, and without responding to them, Mia paced to the table on the left side and picked up the book on it.She scanned the first and third pages, and as she wanted to open it to the third page, her eyes glimpsed the last name on the list, and she paused. She closed the file and raised her chin. “Rathnait…”Rathnait stepped forward to her front and stared downward with her hands hung at her back like a criminal in front of the judge.Mia scanned Rathnait from head to toe and vice versa with a disgusted stare. “You’re a minute. Is there a reason for that?” She asked.“I-” Rathnait raised her head to talk, but Mia gave her no space.Mia raised her hand to cut Rathnait off. She put her hands down and crossed them over her chest. “I’ve no inte

    -A week later-“Why isn’t she here yet?” Sarah raised a question, her worried voice matching her concerned expression.Rathnait entered with her hands crossed over her chest. She loosened her hands from her chest and elevated her shoulders. “Why get yourself worried over?” She said, her lips shaped to the left a little. “What will she do once she gets here? Won’t she yell at you? Stop being moody and enjoy the moment before she gets here, and you will fidget again.”Steven ground his teeth. “Stop talking bullshit. Will you?” He cautioned. “We’ve been working for her for three years and this is the first time she arrived late. It’s 1 PM already. We aren’t even certain she will be present.”Rathnait gave Steven a side look. “Getting pissed off because I spoke badly of her? Isn’t what I said the truth? I know my statement gets on your wrong side because of what you have in mind towards her,” she said. “Be careful what you say back at me?”She took her eyes off him and slightly turned her

    Ashley’s heels made sounds as she gently hit them on the ground. She walked to the entrance and entered the passcode, but it was incorrect, and without a second thought, she entered another passcode, but it was still rejected.She furrowed her face. “What could he use?” She wondered and had a few seconds of thought. “Oh,” she figured out and with her lips tinted with a smile, she quickly pressed the only date that came into her mind and it got accepted.She scoffed. “I knew it,” she uttered. The door opened, and she walked into the house, whispering, “He can never change. I know he hasn’t learned his lesson, and I doubt he can.”She entered the sitting room and turned her neck to scan the sitting room before she paced to the couch and gently sat. She placed her bag beside her and took her phone out.She dialed a number, and it didn’t ring twice before the person accepted the call. “I’m in your place. Come right away.

    “My request. Have you considered it?” Mia asked immediately as she stepped into the office, Sarah following her. She walked to her seat and opened the file on her desk. “It’s been three days. Are you yet to conclude?”“I reached a conclusion, but I doubt you would like it,” Sarah said boldly. She took the last step closer to the desk and declared, “I don’t want to be your friend.”“Why?” Mia inquired.“Because of the saying that says, birds of the same feather fly together,” Sarah let out in simplicity and instantly proceeded. “You’re from a wealthy family, so it’s only normal you move with other heiresses that are of the same caliber as you.”“But you witnessed me reject Rebecca. If I want an heiress like me, there are many on the lines to choose from. Many of them can’t wait to befriend me and they will do whatever I request of them.” Mia let out.“I know, and I feel it will be better you hear from them,” Sarah voiced out. “I don’t want to make the same mistake twice.

    “Help me zip it up.” Mia requested as she walked out of a corner of the worker’s dressing room. It was already late before she got the meal done so she couldn’t go home or she would cause a delay, so she agreed to use the worker’s dressing room as Sarah suggested. It was against her wish, but she wanted to satisfy Sarah.“Okay.” Sarah uttered. She walked closer to meet her and helped her with the zip.Mia took a step backward and turned around. “And how do I look?” She inquired. She stopped turning and looked at Sarah’s face as she forced a smile on her face. “My smile. How does it look? I barely smile so it’s kinda hard to force it to impress the Harrisson,”She stared downward and sighed. “I can’t believe I’m already tired of what never starts.” She voiced out.Sarah beamed. She took a step closer and placed her hand on Mia’s shoulder. “You’ve got a delicate shape, so the dress looks perfect on you. Anyone who knows the actual definition of beauty will know you possess it. whatever

    CHAPTER 18“Remember, Sarah, from now on, you’re to avoid me like a plague! We mustn’t cross paths again. We shouldn’t set eyes on each other ever again! I mustn’t see you anywhere near me, anything and everything that has to do with me, failure to listen to my warning, Sara, I’ll make sure you regret it. I’ll cause damage and make sure it’s beyond repair. Now, leave. Go away and, if possible, I want you to disappear and live your life like you didn’t exist.”Davina’s harsh statement and her vicious laughter from years ago rang loudly in Sarah’s head with every step she took toward the entrance. The picture of Davina’s gaze on those days appeared in front of her, and she saw everything like they were years ago.Sarah’s feet became heavy, and she couldn’t take another step forward as tears welled up in her eyes, but she caged them beneath her eyelids and acted strong to refuse to let them find their way out.Her heart yearned to scream out, but she controlled herself, knowing she wasn

    “Oh, my goodness! I can’t believe it’s two years already!” Sarah screamed excitedly, glancing at the wedding photo in her hand with her lips filled with a beam.She kissed her husband in the photo and gently put it in the middle of the table. “You did this one, Sarah…” she whispered, clapping at the low-budget decoration she had just made with her annual savings.It was her and her husband, Charles’s second wedding anniversary, and because of their financial struggle, she wanted to celebrate it at their space. They canceled the first anniversary because her mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital, and Charles used the savings to settle the bills. She has been saving up since last year, so nothing would stop her.She looked around the small room and joggled her head. “Perfect!” She raised her voice. “This is perfect!”“Charles will love this!” She uttered. Her husband has been sullen lately, which she believed was because of their financial struggle, so she spent more than planned t

    “I don’t have time to waste so, your daughter has until the countdown of three,” Sarah proclaimed. She exhaled softly and raised her index finger. “One,”“Two,”Rebecca closed her eyes and ground her teeth, gripping her skirt as every statement from Mia rang loudly in her head. She didn’t want to lose her opportunity with Mia, especially since Sarah was involved, but no matter how much she tried to convince herself, she couldn’t bring herself to apologize to Sarah.Mia raised the third finger. “T-”Rebecca opened her eyes. “I accept guilt!” She forced the words out of her mouth and exhaled softly, unable to believe she just lost to Sarah. She loosened her hand from her skirt and walked to Sarah’s front. She lowered her gaze and apologized. “Sarah, I’m sorry.”Mia stared at Rebecca. “What are you sorry for?” She interrogated.Rebecca sniffed. What she wanted to say felt too big for her to say, but she had to swallow her pride to talk. “Sarah, I’m sorry for being rude to you. Forgive me,
