“Wify,” I looked up to see Jason standing there, looking all handsome and glowing. Why was he even here?Looking at him asking like a king in his cream suite and deep blue jacket. He was quite captivating. His cologne was really making a lot of sense in my brain. After looking at him for a few seconds, I came back to my senses. "Violet, what are you doing?" I asked myself.I was ogling the man who had caused me a lot of pain. That's such a shameless thing to do. Remembering what had happened two nights ago, my anger came back and I glared at him. His presence alone started to annoy me as I tried to smother my anger. “We are couples, don't act weird,” Jason said casually as I ignored him totally. This guy must be a joker to say we were a couple but I didn't want to start making a scene in front of people. Jason was a very popular one and wouldn't want to get into a scandal with him."Get away from me. I don't want anyone seeing us together" I said between gritted teeth. " Why? Are
“You zoned out!” Clara said quite concerned by my actions.“I know something is wrong. Spill it!” she ordered with an angry look as I heaved a long breath. “I lost my job," I said with a sad voice.Finally I had someone who I should talk to and that was what I needed the most. Someone who would talk to without mincing words or without fear of being vaught."Oh darling" Clara hugged me tightly sympathetically."That's not the whole thing, two innocent children had to die because of my negligence,” I explained to her, suddenly I realized that tears were flowing down my cheek.I honestly didn't want to cry but telling someone what had happened just stirred so many emotions in me.Clara looked at me pitifully and took my hands."Don't cry Val, I'm sure you were in a situation where you couldn't save the children. It's definitely not negligence" she said tme in a very soft voice.She took out a handkerchief and was dabbing my face herself. Her hands played sgounyv back gently as I wept slo
Violet's POV It's been some few hours since Clara left the mansion. I thought I heard a car zooming inside but I was too preoccupied, arranging the clothes Clara bought for me. As soon as I was through, I went downstairs to sit down, just to get some fresh air.I saw Anne instead, her elegant and pious self giving command to one of the maids."Annie!" I said, looking at her excitedly. I was eager to find out what went wrong. Where exactly was she?"Young Mistress," she answered, beaming with a smile as she bowed her head.I ran to her, embracing her tightly. I truly missed her. Partly, I was feeling guilty that she might have lost her job after standing up for me."I missed you, Annie. Why did you just disappear? I must have wronged you, right?" I said, pouting.She quickly shook her head with the most genuine smile plastered on her face," Not at all, Young Mistress. I went over to the old residence for a while. I came back because the Young Master wanted me back."I was so happy I fi
I was so tired of how she was beating around the bush and not saying why she called me there so I got up, walking menacingly toward her. "Hey fiancée or wife to be, I don't have any goddamn business with whatever happens between you and anyone here. My only job is to get that boy treated so if you have something to say, say it, I have something to attend to." I couldn't help but to retort.I was really trying to avoid trouble but that witch was getting me vexed. "That's why I have put in place some certain rules. First thing, I want to dig into your skull is that, you should mind your ways with Jason. Respect him as a boss. I don't want anything that would make you have dirty ideas on your little weak brain. Jason is no one else but mine. Understood? " She said, glaring at me.I rolled my eyes. I didn't know where she got the information that Jason and I do talk, more or less having dirty ideas about him. I hate the guy with deep hatred. I didn't even acknowledge her words and Rach
Narrator's POV Violet eyes furrowed at Rachel's scream. She was oblivious to why she was screaming so loud when the fall wasn't enough to cause a sprain. She thought Rachel was a drama Queen, not until she heard someone call her name furiously. " Violet!" Jason's voice rang in the room, making Violet realize Rachel's ploy all along.Jason had watched Violet pushing Rachel and she had fell to the ground. His heart was filled with anger at Violet's cruelty. "Oh" Violet said when she finally knew the reason Rachel had fell. Jason was actually there watching. With the way she fell, from behind, it looked as if Violet had pushed her. Hearing Jason's cold voice, Violet understood what Rachel was trying to do. She looked at the woman who already had tears in her eyes and chuckled. She knew there was nothing she would say that Jason would believe. He had always taken sides with his lover. Jason rushed to Rachel who was on the floor and there was concern in his eyes. Rachel had a painful
Anne came out to see the two standing toe to toe like sworn enemies. She then looked at Rachel who was seated with a smile on her face so she knew it was all because of her. She knew she didn't come here for nothing but to cause trouble. She just wished that Rachel could disappear from Jason's life like she had done years back. "Don't feel too glorious, Violet and let me remind you if you have forgotten. I might be in need of your service desperately but I already bought it with my money and the least thing you can do in my house and to people around me is to show them respect. You are nothing to me but just the nobody I hired. The only important thing you have to do is to help my boy. Every dime I ever spend on you, every meal you have in my house, is not because of your insignificant self. It is because of my baby. So get that into your thick skull and stop misbehaving" he said with a very hostile voice.Violet's hands trembled as anger coursed through her body. Her visibly shaken
Clara's POVI couldn't deny that I never felt the negative vibes going on between Violet and Rachel. I have known Rachel for years and haven't ever seen her exhibit a bad attitude. She was very nice and always full of cheerful attitude. Definitely, Violet and her must have gotten themselves wrong. I couldn't say bad things about Violet, but after taking time to carefully study her, I noticed she had a good attitude and loved Vince so much. All of this was a silly misconception from both sides and I was going to settle everything. Jason was the one who wronged the two here. He knew who those two are to him, he shouldn't have let them live together. I wouldn't blame Rachel for not getting along with Violet.She had suffered a lot thinking of coming back to the one she loves, only to find out that he is married. I could feel that Violet was emotionally down even when she wouldn't want to tell me. She must have lost one of her patients. Knowing that Violet could get emotional I didn't
Waking up this morning, I had my bath and rushed out of the house. I couldn't have a good sleep because of the thoughts that clouded my mind. The only time I closed my eyes to sleep, I had a nightmare that Violet committed suicide.I had to call Anne that night to help me check on Violet. She said she had to spy on her through the CCTV because Violet won't open her door. I was relieved when Anne told me that she was asleep. Phew! It must have been as a result of my thoughts.I walked into the hospital about an hour later. I knew this would have been a phone call away if it were my brother. But then, I didn't want him to be involved. There is something else he needed to sort out and that's Rachel.I went straight to the receptionist to ask of an audience." Good morning, Miss Kanna, I would like to see your President." “Good morning, ma'am. Do you mean the director?” the receptionist asked, surprised.Was it so surprising for someone to see the president? I shook my head to clarify he
