Chapter 24Marlie brushed it off not wanting to answer. She knew deep down she had no feelings for Chad. If she was in that house, it was to take revenge and nothing more."Stop it now and listen to my plan will you?" Marlie said."What do you have up on your sleeves?" Mark asked Marlie. Though he was well aware of Marlie's revenge, he wasn't expecting her to hurt herself in the process."I won't support you hurting yourself because of revenge, so let's get that straight. Mark continued firmly on his decision."I'm not a kid so stop annoying me !" Marlie said getting up from the bed and continued... "I want you to tell him my condition is one to be worried about. Inform him I shouldn't be stressed in any way if not my condition will be critical." Marlie instructed Mark."What do you seek with that?" Mark couldn't help but probe.Marlie smirked. She is just following the initial plan to get Chad on her side first, but as to why, lies in her hands."Just wait and see." She said mischievo
Chapter 25Chad's companions had departed, leaving only him and Marlie. Upon arriving home, Chad gracefully opened the car door for Marlie. As the best actress she was, Marlie displayed her acting skills, pretending to be feeble while the humble servants escorted her inside, with Chad following closely behind. Marlie was brought into the hall, where the two cunning women, mother and daughter, along with Angelina, stood. Angelina had been summoned to the house, as she was a lawyer and may be needed if Marlie decided to take legal action against them. The expressions on their faces revealed their lingering fear of causing serious harm to Marlie.Silvia, eager to know about Marlie's condition, began to ask, not out of genuine concern, but to assess the severity of her own guilt. However, Chad intervened, not wanting a confrontation to ensue."It's best if you stay away from her from now onwards." Chad firmly stated to his mother, while the servant took Marlie upstairs.Chad's words ca
Chapter 26Chad couldn't get any response from Marlie.The room fell into silence. Turning around, Chad wanted to probe the reason for her silence. However, Marlie had concealed herself beneath the covers, seething with annoyance. She knew that uttering a single word would result in cursing Chad, which would reveal her real being. The mistrust ensuing was already palpable."I would pretend I didn't hear you say that." She whispered in between her gritted teeth.Nevertheless, in her mind, Marlie cursed him. How dare he bring about her past in front of her? "Are you already asleep?" Chad inquired, receiving no reply from Marlie. She remained hidden beneath the sheets, eventually drifting off to sleep, shielded by the warmth of the quilt.Chad waited for a while and when he didn't get any reply, he left the room quietly. ******Upon awakening from her sleep, Marlie discovered Chad's absence. The empty space on the bed indicated that he hadn't slept there. It was good. She didn't want
Audrey wanted so badly to retort to her but remembered the warning her brother had given them. So she chose not to mind her and walked past her. She went and took a seat on the couch, trying hard to ignore the annoying Marlie.Marlie on the other hand sat beside her as she was determined to annoy the girl or get her flare up. If Audrey dares to hurt her in any way she would get in trouble with Chad. And that is exactly what Marlie wants.Audrey was completely absorbed in her phone, paying no attention to Marlie who was sitting next to her. She could guess Marlie's intentions and she didn't want to fall into her trap.Marlie, being crazy had a plan and was determined not to let it fail. She has to let Audrey fall into her trap by all means."Sister-in-law, why are you ignoring me?" Marlie asked, using a sweet tone of voice and feigning innocence, hoping to get a reaction from Audrey.But Audrey didn't want to look at her face again. Still engrossed in her phone, a call came through."Wh
After tightly embracing the diary, Marlie proceeded to cautiously open it and found the first page boldly proclaiming::: {"Today, I am overcome with joy as I have married the man of my dreams. I am confident that this union will bring me everlasting happiness alongside Chad. Marlie, dear little sis, I will prove you wrong about Chad. My love for him knows no bounds and I know he loves me too."}Disgruntled by these words, Marlie angrily shut the diary, exclaiming in frustration... "Oh, so you claimed to be happy, didn't you? Sure, I bet you were thrilled!" Her frustration was palpable. Charlie had wanted to prove her doubts about Chad's affection for her wrong. Well, maybe, that was the beginning of their marriage and Charlie had high expectations. Curiosity got the best of Marlie, compelling her to move forward and uncover whether Charlie succeeded in her mission. She turned to the next page, which revealed:::{"On our wedding night, I found myself all alone but I wasn't angry n
"Charlie, long time no see! How have things been for you?" Angelina spoke with a false smile, directing her words towards Marlie. She put on a show of being the perfect girl in Chad's eyes, but deep down, she had ulterior motives of taunting and mocking Marlie.The tone of Angelina's voice was dripping with sarcasm, even Chad could pick up on it. However, he had no desire to be dragged into the feud between the two women. He had witnessed enough drama and preferred to stay out of it. He separated himself from Marlie and made his way up the stairs.To exacerbate Marlie's irritation, Angelina agreed to fetch Chad once dinner was ready."Chad..."Angelina mentioning his name made Chad pause in his tracks, causing him to turn towards her."I'll come find you when it's time for dinner," she said, speaking lovingly to Chad to further annoy Marlie.Marlie responded with a fake smile and hurriedly headed up the stairs, making sure to pass Chad. She pretended not to be angry with Angelina's sha
A devilish smirk crossed his face... "Tell your lips to stop begging me to kiss them all the time. Though I wouldn't mind to indulge it for once." He whispered, his warm and sweet breath fanning her face, making her immobilized and sending tingles inside her pants. Marlie's eyes popped up in shock and her breath grew heavier, a mixture of anger and unexplained emotions were rampaging inside her.To make matters worse, Chad pulled her closer, bringing their faces near. What the hell? What annoyed her most was the fact that she couldn't even move away even if she wanted to. Her body and senses were betraying her at this moment with Chad's close proximity.Chad felt at ease with their closeness, as he always had whenever he held Marlie close in the past years. He had never held Charlie in that way before. Surprisingly, he was somehow loving this proximity between them now. It didn't feel as bad as he had always thought.From Chad's expression, Marlie could decipher his intentions, and sh
Marlie brushed off the fears a few seconds later."No, I'm not afraid of him. He can go to hell with his petty threats, I don't give a damn and won't let it affect me. What a joke!"After gaining her composure again, Marlie tried recalling the fruit of her actions earlier. She now cared little about Chad's actions and the damn effect he had on her a moment ago. Now, her attention was on how the mistress reacted; she just had a reason to celebrate her victory over Angelina. Grabbing her phone, she headed to the kitchen to fetch herself food and then took it to her room to eat. She was grateful she didn't see any annoying pest downstairs.Taking her food to her room quietly, she ate to her full and decided to sleep. After all, it was late and her body was exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster of the day.However, It was better to sleep in her room than return to the lion's den. It's better to safe than sorry.*********The following day, Marlie woke up later than usual. Due to hav
"Are you interested in consuming me alive?"Marlie, standing in front of Chad, taunted him with the question."you...""What?"She abruptly cut off Ken as he tried to intervene, leaving him astonished and retreating to his original position.Marlie then directed her attention back to Chad, she wasn't done with him, as he had referred to her as a stray cat. "What? Did you happen to skip dinner last night? or You don't have money to buy food so you want me to buy you some?" She continued mocking him by asking.Each sentence uttered by Marlie shocked the onlookers. Was she truly audacious enough to openly mock Chad like this? Little did she know that her actions were only drawing him closer.Yes, Chad stood there, feeling annoyed, but not at Marlie for mocking him. Instead, he was frustrated with his friends for allowing this embarrassing first encounter. "How could they let our first meeting turn into such a disaster!"Marlie had moved closer to Chad, causing Ken to quickly step in and p
Marlie's attention was drawn to the daggers being aimed at her, prompting her to suppress her boisterous laughter. The intense stare from Chad sent shivers down her spine. This marked Chad's second encounter with Marlie, which only fueled his annoyance towards her."How dare she?!" exclaimed Ken, sneering and shooting an angry glare at Marlie from his seat. "And on top of that, she's just a first-year?"Gideon voiced his shock, exclaiming, All of this wouldn't have been possible if he had known about the so-called speech from the beginning. "Damn you guys!" Chad inwardly cursed his friends but knew he had no choice but to finish his speech. "This first-year student... she must face the consequences of her actions!" Ken roared.******"If it wasn't for Charlie's persistence, I wouldn't have to endure this monotonous college life! Everyone here seems like mindless zombies, how infuriating!"Marlie realized that the school environment clashed with her personality and attitude. She did
Flashback to their final year in college: Chad had been the one who encouraged Spark the most when they were in their fourth year of college. "Bro, you have to approach her with confidence," Chad had advised Spark on the day Spark had wanted to approach Charlie. "Just go ahead and tell her already!" Ken exclaimed, frustration evident in his voice as Spark's fear overcame him and he hesitated. "After a year of being in love with her, you've gathered the courage now, bro. Don't hold back, go for it," Gideon also encouraged him. But Spark admitted his concerns, "I'm just worried she might not feel the same way," Both Gideon and Ken chuckled at that. There was no denying that Spark had it all. He was not only good-looking and intelligent but also kind-hearted. He was also quite popular. I mean, all four friends were popular, but Chad had always been seen as their leader.They all came from well-off families, but Chad's family was considerably wealthier than the rest if them. "You
Overwhelmed by shock, a wave of intense emotions engulfed me as I heard Chad's confession, causing shivers and nervousness to course through my body.Contrary to what one might think, it had nothing to do with my sister. The tears that were present just moments ago vanished into thin air.I sensed that his gaze had shifted towards me, and without a doubt, electric charges were surging through my entire being.Shouldn't I be worried or continue crying?"No, no, he cannot approach me. He must keep his distance... Don't, don't..." I knew I had to leave. I couldn't listen to my heart. Deep down, I was aware that if Chad were to hold me, I would lose myself in his embrace."Marlie, I..."Those were the last words I heard from Chad before, oddly enough, I found myself fleeing from the room... escaping the overwhelming rush of emotions and the shivers that traveled down my spine when he uttered my name.His voice alone set my skin ablaze. I tightly gripped the door handle with one hand while
Audrey's revelation may have shocked the world but Chad remained emotionless as he listened to their conversation. Even Marlie was taken aback. However, Marlie didn't need to intervene anymore as the situation was about to explode.In a deranged manner, Angelina burst into laughter, her hand pressed against her cheeks. It wasn't just Audrey who had reached her breaking point, Angelina too."Do you dare claim that you helped me to have your brother? How dare you say that to me?!" Angelina shouted, storming towards Audrey. Meanwhile, Marlie had taken her place beside Chad, and the cameras eagerly zoomed in on the unfolding drama."What did you do? Tell me! What efforts you made to assist me, you wretched daughter of a whore!" Angelina's words caught Chad's attention. He couldn't help but wonder if she knew something. The others were equally curious. Indeed, Angelina was aware of everything, and today seemed to be the day she intended to reveal it all."Watch your words, Angelina!"Silvi
The Wedding Day:In the morning, Chad and Marlie awoke eagerly, prepared to confront the witches head-on. However, the witches were equally prepared and pleased that it was Chad and Angelina's wedding day. They were also celebrating the supposed freedom of Angelina's father, Sanchez.As the time approached and everyone got ready, Chad received a call from Gideon."I need to inform you of everything, Chad. You must know what I discovered.""I am at the house. I'll wait for you here," Chad replied, while Marlie helped him with his necktie.To Chad and Marlie's surprise, their partners had also been called to the mansion. They wondered why they were there, as they hadn't invited them. Nevertheless, Chad didn't mind letting them in and waiting for Gideon.But who had called them? Gideon? Yes, Gideon thought it would be better to have them around, just in case Chad's emotions got out of control upon hearing the news.It was at that precise moment that the partners arrived and Gideon entered
The next day(a day to the wedding)Upon finalizing their plans, the witches were fully occupied with their preparations. The wedding was merely a day away, leaving them with an abundance of tasks to tackle. In addition to the usual wedding arrangements, there was the matter of organizing a bridal shower for the witch.How lucky.However, holding the event at the mansion was out of the question. They sought an alternative location, and it dawned on them that the Sanchez house would be ideal. Good!Eagerly, the witches gathered their belongings ready to go to the Sanchez mansion. Chad kindly accompanied them, ensuring they safely reached their destination. Angelina had decided to make her way to the wedding venue from her own house. Perfect opportunity for Marlie to enter the mansion. Vien was tasked with tidying the house, ensuring it was presentable for the arrival of Lady of the Mansion, Marlie.As soon as the witches vanished from view, Marlie swiftly entered with her luggage. She
When Marlie ventured out of the house in the afternoon, Chad was obliged to engage with his laptop and avoid any plans of going out to encounter the bothersome faces of the witches. His nanny would handle his meals.And naturally, once Marlie departed, she headed straight to Mark's place.At the arrival of Marlie at the door, the first person she laid eyes upon was Spark. Spark, from head to toe, casted upon her a glance of disdain."Wait a minute, weren't you the one who urged her to go?" that was the query Mark had been directing towards Spark when he stationed himself by the door, seething with anger."Why are you arriving now?" Spark's initial afternoon greeting, brimming with annoyance, to Marlie. "You may as well remain there!""What are you doing? Are you not going to let her enter first?" Mark inquired, perplexed."Stop defending her!" Spark bellowed."I am not defending! Weren't you the one who made her go there?" Mark retorted."Yes, solely to deliver the letter, see Chad,
Chad's PerspectiveMarlie, a vision of beauty, captivated my gaze as I admired her from head to toe. "What a stunning woman to have as mine," whispered my inner beings to my soul. A surge of desire washed over me, urging me to go claim those rosy lips. The sight of Marlie, whom I had missed for days, made my eyes darken with longing."How did you manage to arrive here?" I asked, barely able to utter the words, my eyes never leaving Marlie for a moment. I feared that this might all be a dream, one that I did not wish to wake up from. Truth be told, I hadn't seen her enter the house, nor did that asshole inform me of her coming."I brought the letter for... your fiancée," she teased with a smile. Her words interrupted my thoughts for a moment. "Fiancée?" I exclaimed, vowing never to accept such a ridiculous notion. I was relieved that I hadn't married that woman to begin with. I was grateful that I caught her in bed with Audrey's ex-boyfriend, that scoundrel, John. And I was glad that A
