We are enemies Rose, isn’t that the more reason why you are supposed to stay away from me?” He arched his brow.
Rose chortled “did you just say stay away from you? Maybe you have forgotten Charles that you and I have an unfinished business, you owe me and trust me I would not, I would never stay away until I have what rightfully belongs to me.”
Charles raised his brows “aren’t you supposed to be Melanie’s best friend?”
“And aren’t you supposed to be her dear husband you backstabbing bastard!” She cursed in rage.
Charles looked away, he felt really angered by her words and forced to react but he held himself “I came to take what rightfully belongs to me Rose, I didn’t come to batter words with you, just kindly give it back and I would be on my way.”
Rose’s eyes grew wide, she looked totally confused and didn’t understand what he was talking about “w
On Rose seeing the look on his face, she nodded in continuation to what she was saying earlier “yes, I didn’t know that you are stupid, infact you are the most stupid person I have ever met all my life, wait a minute! So because I came to your house and lied to your wife that I was your sister, you have the guts to walk into my apartment and turn the story around claiming that I made a way with some property documents, the same one you have in your care and perhaps have moved it to wherever you deem fit just to get it out of my reach” she grinned “well, one thing I am so glad about is that you didn’t underestimate me Charles, you didn’t… but you see this game you are trying to pull of here, I am so sorry to disappoint you young man but it won’t work at all, not on me Charles, you have failed woefully, come up with something else cause I am definitely not backing out of the quest to have half of Melanie’s inheritance, I don&rsquo
Her eyes gradually went bloodshot has her legs have been swept off the floor, she was hanging in the air at the mercy of the man who she had built her entire world around, at the mercy of the man whom she believed was her first and her last, the man she believed she would spend the rest of her life with, the last couple of minutes have been pretty hot, both parties exchanging words arguing over a couple of documents which was really very important, Charles knew he would be doomed if he doesn’t get his hands on those documents, whatever Rose’s plans were he couldn’t tell but what if she decides to go to the police or maybe to the lawyer to tell them everything, he couldn’t afford to spend the rest of his life behind bars, he shook his head desperately at that thought believing that Rose would never do something as ugly as that, after all she once confessed love to him and she would definitely end up behind bars with him if she goes ranting about anything but w
Rose gently struggled to stand on her fe wet holding the wall behind her, finally she was standing, her eyes were clouded with tears as she gritted her teeth, what exactly was she to say to Charles, admit that she has the documents when he knows she doesn’t have it and therefore try to blackmail him with it or just tell him straight to his face that his games on her wouldn’t work, but what if he had truly lost the documents and thinks she has it in her possession since she actually came to her house today? She thought to herself without looking at Charles, she sighed “Charles I know nothing of what you are talking about, you just tried to kill me just to prove what?”Charles gasped loudly feeling very much agitated, he couldn’t understand it anymore, why was she proving stubborn? Why was she making things very much difficult for him? These were the questions he kept asking himself looking so desperate for a response “Rose enough of this mad
“Are you asking me that Charles? You tried to kill me for goodness sake now you want to me to sit here and listen to your rubbish, I have nothing to say to you, leave my apartment this minute!” She yelled.His eyes grew wider “you want to yell? You really want to yell? Good! Go ahead and yell!Let us both yell, but I am not leaving this apartment until you give me what I want!”“Oh! Yes you would Charles, what do you even take me for? A fool? You always snapped life out of me now you want us to talk, you want us to have an agreement? Why didn’t you do that earlier or you think threatening my life would make me bend?” She raised her brows.Charles bowed his head, she was right after all, Rose had every right to be angry with him, after all he almost killed her but matters most is that he didn’t, he knew how stubborn she could be especially if she’s on her right and how good she was with arguments but that
He felt really tensed, his hands and feet shaking like one who was about loosing his mind, leaving Rose’s house especially without accomplishing his mission was the last thing on his mind, he couldn’t believe Rose was that mean to dare call the cops on him, he sighed deeply knowing he would have been in big trouble if he didn’t use the exit as quickly as he could, not like he couldn’t over power her even with the knife in her hand but gush… it was pretty risky and either of them might end up badly injured which was the last thing on his mind, his face was covered in a deep frown while he walked up to his car, he could barely lift it as he fixed it on the floor counting his steps and mumbling to himself like a man who had lost his home to a strange man, he shook his head sadly, what he was feeling and experiencing at that moment was worse than a person who had lost his home to a strange, how on earth is he going to explain that he lost the documents to
The young man walked into the house after she had opened the door and got to work immediately installing the cameras at every corner Melanie had asked him to, Melanie couldn’t deny the fact that she was fidgeting, scared of the fact that Charles might come home sooner or later and her game would finally be up, she was sure that so far she have been doing a good job but screwing it up was the last thing she ever wanted to do, she knew she needed to make both Charles and Rose pay for all they have done to her but this means she also needs to be smarter than they are and prove to them that she was never going to remain dumb for the rest of her life just like they had hoped, she watched as the man installed it all and when he was finally done, she grinned and thanked him, she escorted him to the door and asked him to thank Mr James for her, he nodded with a bold smile and left with his tool bag.Though Brenda was stuck writing her homework, she still noticed their wer
The sky was gradually getting dark, Melanie stood in front of her room watching the birds fly in groups to their various nests, the atmosphere looked a lot busy with the sounds of their wings clapping in the air and their whistling making the night look even more busier than it should, she folded her hands across her chest rubbing them gently, the weather was a little chilly though it made her feel cold but she loved the feeling, she smiled at intervals at the thought of all she have been achieve that day, she felt super proud of herself and the fact that she didn’t let anything stop her, she was glad she took the bull by the horn but on a second thought, she wondered why she didn’t recover all these years, she sighed deeply and ran her hand across her forehead acknowledging the fact that everything does happen for a reason, maybe if Charles and Rose had made sure she was taking her drugs and going for medical checkups, she would have gotten better all these while, she b
Brenda turned to her and shook her head “I am looking for nothing mother, I am rather looking for a person.”Melanie arched her brow dropping the napkin on a table “something like what?”“I overheard you talking to someone just before I knocked, where is the person? Who were you talking to?” She inquired looking really ready to ask more questions.Melanie took a quick glance around the house and chortled “you and I have been the only ones at home since you got back from school, your father isn’t back and who do you think would be in my room at this hour, come on… I am so sure you heard wrongly.”Brenda stared at her, she couldn’t understand it, something seemed off and unusual about her mother, though she couldn’t press her finger on what it was exactly but she was so sure that something wasn’t right “but who were you talking to mum?”She shook her head &ldqu
