"I am so glad to be back home. I want to be a good girl that I had never been for a long time" she smiles. "Ma'am, lunch is served. I made it special for you. Your favorite" The cook said. "Thank you so much but I just got back. I will take that later. I had to have some rest. Thank you so much" she smiles and walked upstairs to her room. "She has changed. That is unusual for her. I was expecting that from her" Miss Gaynell frowned. "Are you not happy about it? I am so glad that she is nice. I don't want anything to change that" Eddie Wayne walked away. "I can't pretend to be happy when I am not. I need to see Quicney. I missed him a lot" She grabbed her pillowcase close to her chest. Her maid walks in. "Miss Henrietta, do you need anything? I will love to get it for you" she asked. "I don't need anything. I am fine" she smiles. "I can get you a glass of juice if you want to" she smiles. "I am fine. You don't have to bother yourself about it" she splayed her fingers. "Okay.
"What was she doing here? " Henrietta asked immediately she walked in. "She came looking for your brother" Mr Doris smiles. "Why did you not tell me that Henrietta and my cousin are back together? " she frowned. "You don't expect me to reveal your brother's relationship to you. You guys are very close, it will be nice if you hear it from him. Henrietta has ever been your brother's girlfriend for a very long time" She took a towel to wipe off her wet hands. "I don't like her. My brother can't be with such a girl. She is my enemy" She squints her eyes. "That is the more reason your brother should be with her. You can't be her enemy for so long. Friends sort out their difference" she walks to her. "I can't sort it out with that bitch. My brother won't be with her not while I am still alive " She flushed her face. "Isabella, I don't see any reason for you not to be mad at her brother for accepting her back into his life. They are two grown adults and they know what is best for them
He sneaks into his room to meet Sapphire. "Quicney, are you fine? " sapphire asked immediately after he walks in. "I am fine, my love" He sat down and kissed her forehead. "I heard everything right from this bedroom. She is your sister, you don't have to talk to her like that. you don't have to make her feel like what she said is wrong when she is right. You have to apologize to her" She wraps her arms around herself. "Come on, girlfriend " he took her hands. "You don't have to worry about that. My sister and I have had a series of arguments and we always sort out my difference. This won't be the first. She knows what to do" he smiles. "Are you sure? " she asked. "Cheer up. I have a date tonight with Henrietta. I don't know when I will be back but don't step an inch out of this room. when I get out, you have to lock it from the inside. I will talk to you on the phone because I am going to miss you every second I will spend with her" He kissed her. "I am going to miss you too"
Quicney stares at her with so much pain and hatred and looks away. "You guys know each other" Henrietta furrowed her brow. "No. I don't know her" Quicney cut in. Miss Gaynell broke down in tears and ran upstairs. Eddie Wayne was confused as well. "Henrietta, you don't have to bother yourself about it. I will find out what is going on" He touched her shoulders and walked upstairs to meet Miss Gaynell. "Quicney, what's wrong? You stare at Miss Gaynell as if you had seen a ghost. Who is she to you? Have you guys met before? I need answers to my questions" She moves closer to her. "Henrietta, there is nothing to talk about. I don't know her" He sat down. "She called your name and the reaction on your face says it all. I need an explanation, my love " She sat down close to him and held his fingers. "Henrietta, Everyone in this country and out of the country knows my name. I am famous and rich. She might have known me and she is amazed to see me with you. You don't have to worry abou
"What's wrong? Quicney shouldn't do something stupid because Eddie Wayne is dangerous. He can't be bought down with just one-man intervention. I had to protect the only man I love" She made a firm and precise movement. "Good day, Mrs. Doris" Isabella walked in with her shoulders back and chest out. "How was your day? " Mrs Doris asked. "My day was a little bit stressful. Where is my brother? " she asked. Before she could finish her statement, Quicney walks in. "My love is here. I was just asking after you. Why are you looking this way? Another heartbreak again. I told you to stay away from love from now. Henrietta is not the kind of girl someone will ever think of loving. Stay away from her" She squints her eyes and sat down on the sofa. "Henrietta is the one that got me into this mood. It has nothing to do with her. I waited for you yesterday but you never showed up" He sat down beside her. "I had to stay back. Mom asked me to do something for her which take much of my time " S
"Ma'am, we're instructed to take you home," one of the guards said. "I don't need any of you to take me home. Get your stinky self off my sight! " she eyed him. She opened the car door, got in, and banged it so hard. "Get me out of here! " she screamed. "Fuck! " he punched the middle of his left palm. "What is going on? Am I falling in love with her? Quicney, you are in love with Sapphire not her" He walked to his car and got in. "Return to the mansion," he said. He couldn't get over what conspired between him and Henrietta. "Quicney, you are back" Sapphire embraced him warmly but Quicney couldn't let her go. "Quincey, that's enough. I can't breathe" she managed to speak out. "I am sorry. I had missed you a lot" he let go of her. "Why are you behaving strangely? What's she killed? or did something bad happen to her? " she made steady eye contact and raised eyebrows. "She is fine" he shaky with a quiet voice. "Oh! I thought you said you got a mail that she is in trouble " S
"What is it? " he looked at her. She stood up and started pacing around the room with her hand running through her hair. "What is going on? Why did you scream like that? " he stood up as well. "You have a cell phone right, make use of it" She rolled her eyes. "What is going on? Talk to me" he stared at her for a while before picking up his cell phone. "What? Sapphire, you have to believe me. I didn't do it. There is a mix-up somewhere. You have to believe me" his arms out with his palms forward. "Believe you? How are you going to explain this to the public? You got engaged to Henrietta and you didn't bother to talk to me about it. Is that why you were acting strange to me last night? Who am I to you? I thought you said you can't marry someone whose father ruined your life but why are you engaged to his daughter? There is no reason you can't be with her" Her lips tremble and tears in her eyes. "Sapphire, it's you my heart beats for not Henrietta. These are mere pictures that are
His cell phone beeps and he stares at his phone. "Isabella, I am sorry I can't continue with this conversation. Something important just came up and I have to be there. I will talk to you when I am back" he kissed her forehead and dashed out. "Not again" She covered her face with her hands. Quincey got an email from Henrietta to meet up at a Chinese restaurant. Isabella walks up to Sapphire's room and bumps in, sapphire jumps up from the bed at once. She walked to her and sat down on her bed. She stared at her for a while before crossing her legs. "You don't have to be frightened wherever you see me because you will be seeing me everywhere you go. Have a seat. We have a lot to talk about" she smiles. Sapphire sat down slowly with her hands and legs shaking. "Watch your steps. You? Have we met before? " she furrowed her brows. Sapphire avoids eye-to-eye contact with her. "We had met before. You are the lady at the bakery who ran out when you saw my brother and I. You are the one.
