ALINA'S POV

She groaned as the light hit her eyes.

"Madam wake up." She heard the voice call out to her.

Groggily, she sat up straight.

"Martha, what are you doing here this early?" She said rubbing her eyes to try to clear her blurry vision. Her head throbbed gently.

She groaned, raising her hand to reach for her head, memories of last night came flooding back.

Micheal embarrassed her, their fight at the foot of the stairs, her crying her eyes out.

"Ma'am oh my goodness, your eyes are so puffy. Are you okay?" Martha asked rising to massage circles underneath her eyes with concern laced in her voice.

She pulled her head away from Martha's grip.

"Martha, Martha, I'm fine " she reassured, holding onto her hands, she gave her a forced smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Martha returned her smile with a nod of her head. She raised a hand to run it down her matted bed hair.

He searched everywhere for her and padded down the stairs shirtless in search of her.He let out a sigh of relief when he found her hunched over on the couch taking a big bite of ice cream. A smile crept up on his face as he saw the guilt playing on her face."I was just craving some ice cream," She said and made a show to bring the lid over it to cover it up.He walked over to her chuckling as he sat beside her."It's okay." He told her."You're allowed to have some" He reassured her pulling the lid off to drop back onto the table. "Go on" He urgedShe eyed him skeptically. "Are you okay?"

    ALINA'S POVShe couldn't hold it in anymore. The suspense was eating away at her. Ever since last night, she had been unable to let the image of what she had seen go. There were lots of questions playing in her head. There was no justification for why Linda would be in her room that late at night. And the way she looked when she stood outside her door...She shuddered to think of what must have been going through her mind at the time.That's why she had resolved to trap her in the kitchen when Martha had gone out to get groceries. They were alone."Tell me Linda, what exactly were you doing in my room last night?" She blurted out.Sandra looked up, the corners of her lips twitched but she was calm. She stared up at her with widened eyes."What are you talking about ma'am?" She asked feigning surprise."I was in my bed all night," She said.Alina scoffed."You don't expect me to believe that" she responded.Sandra shrugged."I'm sorry ma'am, but I have no clue what you're talking about

He's taking care of me" Alina defended weakly."You're too blinded to see it, Alina. The father of your child should be at your side at all times. Having lots of help from maids wouldn't just be enough. All the things that have happened are a testament to that fact." She complained.Micheal walked out ignoring Alina calling out to him.
