Rhiannon told her coldly as she had learned some of the organization rules from one of the books left behind.She had left Melda off the hook and not punished her for what she did as she opted to forgive since she was the aunt she grew up knowing but she thought there was no need to make things messier and make the others say that she was heartless.“But if my position as one of the protectors changes, then Ruby’s and Raven’s positions will also change,” Melda complained causing Rhiannon to stare at her.“You know very well that I can choose, right? Even if I want Ruby and Raven to be my right-hand people, what do you think the other children will say? The girls were so lucky to grow up with me and I chose them because of that. That will lead to some of them being displeased with me and they might not listen to me in the future,” Rhiannon explained and the more she did, the more Melda realized that Rhiannon knew a lot of things about the organizations than she thought she did.She had
Rhiannon went back home as she was tired of people talking behind her back.Although she knew that she shouldn’t care about what they said, she still felt uncomfortable listening to what the people were saying out there.At present, her image was ruined because she was a ‘bastard’ child and they even scolded her mother.What she hated most was people talking ill of her mother thus instead of giving them a chance to continue slandering the mother and daughter, she felt that she needed to be kind of strong and go back. After all, some of the things Melda said were true even if she was angry at her.Marriage has its problems. The couple can fight, and quarrel but the only reason it remains firm is because they talk. They talk about where the issue is and they try making some changes. She didn’t do that, instead, everything she argues with Octavius, she would just run away from home or sleep in her mother’s room.She sighed as she wondered whether people really saw her as a spoilt brat wh
They all looked at Octavius who was descending from the stairs shocking Rhiannon.“Nanny, why didn’t you tell me that he is in?” Rhiannon asked the woman beside her in a low tone.“Well, I thought there was no need to as you will see each other when you eat dinner and go to sleep. I know that you have missed him so much and that you guys couple have a lot of things to do so I will excuse myself,” Mary said as she winked at Rhiannon before she stood up and left the latter with mouth agape and she couldn’t believe what had happened.“What just happened?” She asked Octavius who was already in front of her.Octavius chuckled as he had heard Mary’s words and was grateful to her. Now seeing how Rhiannon’s big watery eyes blinked as they looked at him innocently, he felt like chuckling or rolling his eyes as he wondered how she still managed to look innocent when she clearly wasn’t.However, he promised himself that he would do everything in his power to protect her so that she could maintai
Octavius couldn’t understand what his wife was trying to do but he knew that even if he asked, the latter was determined not to tell him anything thus he opted to just nod his head, do what he was told then sit back and wait to see what she was up to.Mary on the other hand had already understood what Rhiannon was trying to do and smiled.All the banquets that someone from the Andersons celebrated, they always wore their outfits.At most, Amanda Anderson and her mother were the talented ones in the fashion designing industry thus most always wore their clothes.Now, that Mrs Anderson was getting old and couldn’t design and make her children’s clothes, Amanda was left to do that as she still managed some of her family’s companies that were involved in that industry.However, where would the fun be if Amanda designed and wore her birthday dress? Most people would talk ill about her as they claim that she wasn’t willing to wear other company’s brands but in fact, most people tend to forg
“What do you mean nanny?” Rhiannon asked while Mary hurriedly closed her mouth when she realized she had been heard.“Oh, nothing,” Mary said with a smile, causing Rhiannon to roll her eyes as she had lived with the latter for so many years and knew many things about her.Therefore, she knew when her nanny had something disturbing her, when she was happy, when she was honest, when she was sad or hiding something.“Nanny, you know that you can’t hide anything from me, right?” Rhiannon said in a serious tone when she looked at the woman who started panicking when she realized that she had made a very big mistake.“I was just thinking that your designs are very similar to your mother’s,” Mary said as she forced a smile while Rhiannon shook her head and her eyes darkened as she hated someone lying to her face.“Are you sure? Just because I was small when mom died doesn’t mean that I haven’t seen my mother’s designs, you know,” Rhiannon said shocking the latter.The more Mary lowered her h
Rhiannon was so shocked that she almost fell when she flinched while the cover fell back to where it was.Rhiannon glared at Mary before looking back at the box and felt frustrated.“Rhiannon, I am asking you a question,” Mary asked as she placed a tray full of food on the table and walked towards Rhiannon.“What question?” Rhiannon asked irritatedly. “Also, who allowed you to walk in without my permission?”Her voice was cold that it stunned Mary who stared at her for a long time. If there was anyone who told her that one day, Rhiannon would talk like an enemy, she would have laughed it off as she didn’t think that with how Rhiannon loved and respected her, she would do that but now?“You need to eat first,” Mary said as she hurriedly took the box ready to close it and keep it in a safe place.“Where are you taking my stuff?” Rhiannon asked as she took the box from Mary and looked at her in suspicion since she felt that there was something her nanny knew and didn’t tell her. At the s
Mary looked at Rhiannon and then lowered her head as she didn’t know what to say that would not hurt the latter.“Am I a bastard?” Rhiannon asked in a low tone as she refused to believe it.She had always called Kaylee an illegitimate and a bastard and also blamed her for getting into their home and destroying it while she also was one.She didn’t feel good about anything and hated her father to the core for sleeping with her mother and then leaving her.She felt the urge to throw everything away that belonged to the man but at the same time, she felt the need to see him and ask some questions.“But why didn’t his family approve of her? After all, the Sanders are in the top three of the most affluential, prominent, and richest families,” she said with a frown.“Your father’s status is highly prestigious. Even the organizations that were after your mother and the ones who had plotted against her so that she can be raped by the man they hired when they drugged her didn’t dare do anythin
Octavius had sent his mother’s and father’s sizes and with the help of Bancy, Rhiannon had successfully finished making the outfits.Currently, she was standing in front of them looking at them wondering whether there was something that needed to be added or corrected.“Young miss, everything is fine. I don’t understand why you are worrying too much,” Bancy said as she looked at Rhiannon.“You don’t understand it. It's like I am giving my mother-in-law this dress as a birthday gift and at the same time our first meeting gift. Also, don’t forget that she is an Anderson and the Andersons are well-known as the perfect designers. Whether all our companies get a chance to compete with the Andersons depends on this dress and suit over here,” Rhiannon said who still felt that that wasn’t enough reason for the latter to feel so pressured.“I am sure that she would love anything that you made for her. There is no need for you to complicate everything,” she said causing Rhiannon to shake her he
