UNFRIENDLY FRIEND

CHAPTER FIVE: UNFRIENDLY FRIEND

MADELINE'S POV

Admiring the sky as I usually did most times, I couldn't help but miss one of my hubbies which was painting as I could relax my mind and draw with my emotions and paint them with beautiful colors but now I can't even afford to paint because Williams wouldn't give me my allowance as his wife for the past nine years so that I would not afford to buy any fabric to sew some clothes for snow since I loved doing them and also to afford some paints and drawing equipments, I just wish he could listen to my own side of the story but he would not and I don't know why he changed and he could not remember what happened that day as well if I didn't know Elizabeth well I would have said she is a witch but Selena didn't see her as one but maybe I will have to contact her again and see if she is out of seclusion so that I can invite her.

it is stupid of me not to have thought of doing this years back, selena would have helped me no matter what,

I regret ever pushing away Lucy because I trusted Elizabeth and felt like Lucy was saying everything she said because she disliked her.I miss my family, especially my father. He won't let me suffer nor would he let Williams maltreat me but he is far away and on a mission. Lucas warned me about Williams because he never liked him and told me to stay away from him but he knows that I can't stay away from him but he won't listen only father, Raymond and Selena understood me.

I was too foolish back then to see through Lizzy and I guess everything went wrong since then, hearing the door creak I snapped out of my thoughts to see who it was and it turned out to be my unfriendly friend

"hi my good friend I hope you're enjoying your condition" she said which made me glare at her only for her to give me a hot slap "Lizbeth how dare you come to my room to slap me, why can't you stay on your path you betrayer and a husband snatcher, let me and my child be for heaven's sake" I said feeling hurt and anger surged deep within me but I held it back. She smiled wryly and continued

"now listen carefully Mandy I'm not here to listen to your pathetic words which won't stop flowing out of that gutter of yours, I came to tell you to warn your daughter never to show that disgusting face of hers around or before me, she irritates me and you should know what I can do by now bunny, as for your so called husband he is mine and mine alone and you can't change that fact, you were too meek and foolish, even your friend Lucy warned you Argh I so much hate her because she could see through my schemes but what can I do your naivety cost you something huge so blame yourself and not me", “are you not ashamed of your deeds, because it will come back to you soon” I said in a cold tone more like taunting her which I didn't know how I acted that way “ are you trying to scare me with your words it won't work because I will never lose, I will have Williams all to myself while you fade in misery, you are not the only one who deserves something good you have wealth and a loving family but my parents care about my brothers only and my sister who maried a lord in Greystone and I was forsaken and still you still want to have his love I can't let it happen” she said annoyed “you will pay” I said with pain as my heart squeezed and hatred cursing through me “I won't because he would never learn the truth I made sure of that and I will do anything to make sure you won't be with him because I deserve him more than you do” she retorted filled with fear and walked out of the room with a grin.

'i have been so foolish, they were my best friends even though I met Elizabeth earlier but Lucy turned to be a true friend, if only I could see her again and apologize to her but I can't attend any ball because of Williams there is no way I can do this for not trusting her' I thought as I cried, I couldn't stop my tears as I drown in them, I could feel something stir in me but I can't tell I felt like strangling Lizzy but I held myself back, and then a pair of arm wrapped around me,I don't need anyone to tell me that it was my joy

"snow you're back, what took you so long,why would Elizabeth ask me to warn you, did you offend them" I couldn't help but ask all at once after she cleaned my tears, looking at me worriedly

"mother you should stop shedding your precious tears because of them, they are not worth it, and you're asking a whole lot of questions which one should I answer first mother" I glared at her silently demanding an answer, I don't want her to be that witch's target, I don't want her to get hurt because of her before she fully regains herself else Lizzy might succeed in killing her, I don't know if I should tell her about me but I don't know if she is ready to face the truth but I can't continue to hold back the truth for so long and if my health should truly get worse and there is no way out I might not get the opportunity to tell her the parts am allowed to say for now, but I will have to wait a little bit longer.
