Melanie had Brenda eat lunch and escorted her to her room to rest, in few minutes the little girl was fast asleep.
She crept out of the room looking a little worried, she went straight to her matrimonial room which she had moved out of leaving it all to Charles, ever since she notice she was getting well, she knew it was wise to secure some privacy for herself.
Quickly she unlocked the door to the room and got in closing the door behind, she took a deep breath, her eyes searching desperately around the room not like she had a particular thing she was looking for but she felt the need to look for something.
Slowly she started searching, from drawer to drawer, down to the wardrobe when she suddenly stumbled upon a blue file with a red ribbon on it, she picked it up at once and moved over to the bed where she sat, quickly she opened it and took glances from pages to pages, this were more like documents to different properties, she rubbed her eyes over and over agai
Charles turned to her and gasped “and why are you standing there? Won’t I eat? What is wrong with you?” He yelled in rage. The thought of what happened in the office was still eating him up especially for the fact that his employee like he loves to call the staffs there raised her hand on him.Well the company actually does not belong to him, infact it has a manager and other people who are above him but because he is aware that the company is one of Melanie’s inheritance, he was sure that soon all legal rights of ownership would state that it belongs to him.“I’m sorry…” Melanie said looking very frightened.She hurried off to the kitchen and started dishing out his lunch while Charles relaxed on the couch with his suitcase and jacket lying carelessly on the floor, she looked like the shadow of himself thinking of the best way to handle Florence, he had the right to fire her since she was working directly under h
Melanie could feel hot sweats dripping from her neck, her hands slightly shook as she made sure she was careful not to make any noise that would attract either Charles or Rose, she wanted to make sure that no of them gets to know that she was eavesdropping to their conversation else they might be forced to suspect that something is going on with her, she leaned even more closer gathering the edge of her dress while she placed her other hand over her mouth covering it properly in other not to make any noise out of shock cause the things she was hearing at that moment was making her legs freeze with fear, she just couldn’t believe that both Charles and Rose were this evil.Charles paced the room in aggression looking terribly uncomfortable with Rose’s constant yelling, she looked very upset and didn’t look like she was ready to stop at any minute, her face looked deeply puce and her eyes covered in rage, her hands vibrates as she spoke in anger.“
Charles got agitated “the so many women I was sleeping with? Weren’t you one of them or are you suddenly trying to act like the best friend that you never were and claim to be a saint?”Rose smiled “over my dead body would I watch you take away everything that belongs to Melanie, if you won’t share the inheritance between us, then nobody gets the inheritance at all.”Charles burst into laughter “is that a threat Rose?”“A threat? No Charles, it’s a promise and I am making you that promise here and now” she said in anger.He laughed again moving closer to the wall, he leaned closely on it with his back folding his hands “so what are you going to do about it? What do you plan to do?”Rose smiled “we would find out very soon, I give you this night to think about this selfish decision of yours and change your mind, else… I would do beyond what you expect and make
The day had began fine for Joshua, he woke up feeling very excited, not because the pervious night was a perfect one for him or he enjoyed arguing with his mother but because he knew he was going to meet Diana, he knew that Zara would meet her as well and hopefully he would be proven right, perhaps he could get some answers to his so many questions, it was very difficult for him to accept the fact that Diana who loved him so much woke up one day, saw a human in the woods and decided to elope with him, deep down in him he knew that their was something he wasn’t aware of, something awkward going on that he was yet to understand.He rubbed his hands on his beards while sitting comfortably in front of his mirror, he stared at his image and admired his feature and at the same time he acknowledged the fact that he was getting older by the day, no wonder his mother was pressuring him about getting married to Carmella, he took a deep sigh and relaxed properly on the chair, even
Leonna had just left her home late that day, she was waiting for other young girls to be done filling their containers with water and head home while she quietly walks down there to fetch some for herself, she just wanted to ensure that she avoided having an encounter with them and of course avoid the bullies and so many insult they would remain on her which always leaves her sleepless at night.The previous day had ended so well for her after she saved Terry from drowning, she had been unable to get his thought of her head especially his cute face and the way he smiled at her, over and over again she tried to shake the thought off her head despite being glad that she was there on time to save the young men else he would be a dead man now.She had been sitting in front of her small house for long when she finally decided to go ahead and fetch water from the river believing that the girls must have all gone home but she was rather wrong and she only realized that after
The girls bursted into laughter making mockery of her statement and pain, Leonna felt even more terrible now and wished she didn’t say anything at all.“What a perfect speech by a stupid girl, is it our fault that your stupid, is it our fault that you’re a witch and you ended up killing your entire family? Is it also our fault that you’re so poor that you look like a riffraff? Take a good look at yourself and take a look at us” the first girl said with so much pride turning around slowly while the other girls giggled loudly “can’t you see how different we look from you? We dress well, we have nice dresses, we eat good food all because we didn’t destroy our family just like you destroyed yours!” The girl cursed in anger.Leonna shook her head “I didn’t kill my family and you all know it, they died in the war, why are you making me feel like their death was my fault, non of it was ever my fault and it woul
Zara looked worried, she paced for room wearing a sad face, her hands comfortably placed in front of her while she constantly shook them over and over again, her eyes were glued to the ground and her feet didn’t seem to be hurting as she have been pacing her room for a couple of hours, she was a little bit scared about Joshua’s delay in coming to her house just like they have agreed, she was scared that he might have changed her mind and she won’t be able to set her eyes on her daughter Diana. She had dreamed of seeing Diana all night, she had dreamed of hugging her closely and watching her explain in details why she eloped with the human, she had imagined Diana coming back home with her and apologizing to everyone while explaining in details why she left but right now it seemed that that dream, all those beautiful imagination of hers would never come to pass as Joshua was no where to be found around her house.She took a deep sigh refusing to give into her
Carmella got to her room huffing and puffing, her mother’s last question really got to her and she understood that she was right, what if Diana returns and somehow regains her memory then definitely she would be doomed for ever, she shook her head in fear “that would never happen, over my dead body would I be made to suffer for it, I only did what I felt was right after all she stole what rightfully belongs to me, assuming she never got married to Joshua, non of this would have never happened, but because she was so greedy and selfish, she accepted to marry a man who was supposed to be my husband just to make me feel intimidated, as far as I am concerned, she deserved what she got, I just still do not understand how she survived that fall, like… it’s totally impossible to survive falling off that cliff especially at her condition then” she mumbled in anger.She moved over to where she kept the bottle Azora had given her and placed it comfortably
