The Mask She Wears Chapter 61: The Chicken Sound
Tania||I was up very early the next morning, and I went downstairs to the kitchen.The maid was already there, preparing breakfast. Today, I didn't get startled by her presence at all."Good morning, ma'am." She greeted me as I walked in, and I even smiled at her, despite the annoying ache in my heart."Good morning." Sniffing the air as I walked, I asked. "What's that you're cooking?""It's just some pudding for breakfast." She answered.Moving closer to the stove, I peeped to see what was in the pot. The thick white substance is cooked, giving off the delicious sweet smell of cake."This looks just as good as it smells." I commented.Her smile grew even larger. "Thank you, ma'am."I was angry but I told myself that I wasn't. I convinced myself that I didn't care. Ivan was just my roommate, and I shouldn't bother about him. I was in the house for his grandmother's sake, and I would be there until she got better.I walked to the pantry. I started to look for the ingredients I needed
The Mask She Wears Chapter 62: Tania's Nemesis
Debbie||Trying to control myself as I watched Ivan and his grandmother dot on the bitch was proving unattainable. My heart was tearing with anger and they were all oblivious to it.They both couldn't even notice that all I wanted to do was to pour her bowl of foul tasting soup on her face.And when Nan had apologized for Ivan's behavior, I didn't even care if it was supposed to be to me or that bitch.I just threw all of my resentment to Angel. I got a strong itch to let her know that I knew what and who he was long before she even knew him.I wanted to follow him to work. I did not want to spend my entire day with these two women neither did I want to be at the beck and call of the old woman.I was starting to wonder if my coming to the house was futile and if I had been better off back at work with Ivan there."Honey, why are you not at work? You seem to have missed work yesterday and today. Is everything alright?" The old woman asked the bitch— Angel.The sound of her voice pullin
The Mask She Wears Chapter 63: The Spy
Tania||My heart stopped.At her first question, I had seen it as harmless curiosity but from the second one, I knew she knew exactly what she was doing.She was trying to expose my secret to the old woman for reasons I couldn't comprehend.No matter how hard I tried to think of something, I did not know why she was doing it. It made no sense.At least based on what Ivan had told me over and over. She had no reason to want to ruin me in front of Nana. Or was she just one of those nosy people?I had no issues with her, in fact I thought of her as a friend so it was weird when she tried to embarrass me like this before Nana.I watched Nana, waiting to see if she would probe further but thankfully, she nodded abd continued eating her meal.My appetite had practically vanished and all I did was watch Debbie from where I sat. It suddenly dawned on me why she refused my food and criticised it so much. She wasn't just nosy. She didn't like me.But why?"Thank you so much for the breakfast my
The Mask She Wears Chapter 64: The Puzzle
Debbie||The taxi was already waiting for me outside the house and I hopped into it."Divine care hospital," I said to the driver and we zoomed off.Everything I had found out today made the puzzle I had been trying to figure out to gain some more pieces.Now I just needed a few more pieces to be able to fit the puzzle together and the full picture would unfold and that was what I was going to do.I had told the old woman that I had to go and get medication for her at the hospital and I had left without Tania's knowledge. I just wanted to confirm something that had been gnawing at the back of my mind ever since I had set my eyes on Tania.I pushed it aside until she had mentioned that she had been feeling sick because she had not fully recuperated.And then, before I found out that she was saying with Ivan, I had thought she had been staying with his brother since I knew that he stayed alone.And it was for all these reasons that I was going back to the hospital. About three months
The Mask She Wears Chapter 65: Playing Detective
Debbie||"So who are you looking for?" Larry asked as I took a seat beside him in front of his large super computer. "Search for Angel," I said."I suppose this Angel does not have a surname?" Larry said.I did not know what her surname was but I thought hard in case I had seen it somewhere or heard it somewhere."Try Angel Stone," I said.Larry typed the name into the computer.Seconds later, the faces of four strangers popped up on the screen."Have you found your person?" He asked."No. It's neither of them." I was disappointed as I looked at the faces. "Try Tania Stone." I said.He typed the name and this time, there were twenty results.I carefully scanned the new faces. My heart raced as I moved to the next. Then my hope crashed when I got to the last of them and did not see her face there."Are you sure the person was at this hospital?" Larry spoke in my face and I felt bile rise to my throat."Ye–yes." I fought to keep the bile down my throat.He tapped his hands on the tabl
The Mask She Wears Chapter 66: The Blackmail
Ivan||"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back at the house?" I barked at Debbie as she walked through the door to my office. It was as though I had summoned her just by thinking about her when she walked in.Without saying a word to me, she walked over with a mischievous smile on her face and dumped a file on the pile of books on my desk.I ignored the file she had dropped, much more interested in the smile on her face.I knew that smile. And I knew Debbie so well as to know that smile meant she was up to something. "What's in the file." I growled, already fed up with whatever it was she was up to."Your precious little secret," she said.I squinted my eyes at her words, not knowing what to make of them as I played with the pen in my hand."Are you sure you don't want to open up and see it? Or are you scared of the truth haunting you?" She asked, leaning over my desk."You better tell me what this is all about or else–" I said but she cut me off, not letting me finish."Tsk
The Mask She Wears Chapter 67: Wrong Terms
Ivan|| "You are insane!" I spat out angrily. She drew away from my face, surprised by my outburst. But her countenance immediately changed and a smile was on her face. "Well, that confirms the rumors doesn't it. I'm a certified nut case now thanks to your expert 'diagnosis'." She did exaggerated air quotes with her fingers as she said the word diagnosis. "But we are not here to talk about what I am or what I'm not. We are here to talk about what you will be if you don't make the right decisions." She said. My head was reeling. There was no way in this world I was going to let Tania out of my grasp, especially with the progress she and I had made over the last weeks. She had fallen into my life when I had least expected it and I intended to keep her there for eternity. She may not love me as much now but she did not love me when we met. Her feelings were changing over time and a time would come when we both won't love anyone but ourselves. "Tick, tock. Tick, tick." Debbie i
The Mask She Wears Chapter 68: Sex Nurse
Tania||"Why are you sitting here by yourself?" I asked Nana as I approached her sitting on a rocking chair in the garden.She was sitting right in front of the patch of land where she had cultivated some crops.It was her little pet project and she had spent almost her entire days on this patch on land, her knees on the dirt, digging and planting."Is that nurse not supposed to be here with you? Is that not what we are paying her to do?" I spat distastefully as I spoke about Debbie."Ah... it's fine. I'm okay by myself." Nana said weakly.She was gradually becoming a shadow of herself and it hurt to see her this way."She said she had to go to the hospital to get me some medication. She'll be back soon." Nana added."Medication? For you?" I asked as I sat on the bench next to Nana."That is weird. I thought we already bought all the drugs the doctor administered for you," I said, thinking hard."Maybe, I needed some more." Nana said but my mind was elsewhere.Ever since Debbie's beha

The Mask She Wears Chapter 100: A satisfactory Ending
Ivan|| The hospital room was filled with the soft beeping of machines and the gentle hum of fluorescent lights. It had been three days since the incident that had happened but it felt very fresh in my memory. The television that was mounted to the side, was showing news about what had happened. The caption read, "Family Feud: A tale of love, deceit and betrayal." I had been disgusted at the various titles news reporters had been using just to trend with this story. It would have been funny to me if I had not been involved and my loved ones nearly killed in the process. Tania lay unconscious, giant tubes running in and out of various parts of her body. Her sister was in the adjoining room. She had also suffered a bullet wound, but hers was not as fatal as Tania's, and she was already awake and doing fine. We were lucky the ambulance came in time she would have been lost. I remembered how shocked the medics were when we brought her to her state. How did it even happen? How
The Mask She Wears Chapter 99: A Villain's End.
Tania|| "Well, well, well. If it isn't the two loves of my life. My sister wives, literally." He mocked us sarcastically as he approached. He clapped loudly as if he had just won the lottery. Eyeing me, he said, "I can't believe you are Tania! You look nothing like before." He scanned me up and down. "I should have known it was you when you gave me that sloppy kiss. You know you were never a good kisser. Unlike my lovely second wife here." He addressed Eloise. The fear in the room from the three of us was so palpable, filling the room. I bet we even stank of fear. "Get away from her!" He commanded, but we did not move. "I said get away from her, or else her brain matter would decorate your bodies in a second!" He shouted. Not needing another graphic threat, Eloise and I jumped away from Nana. "Good girls." He complimented us with a leery smile, and I felt like throwing up. "Let her go! You said you would let her go if we came!" I yelled at him. He chuckled. "What do you t
The Mask She Wears Chapter 98: Into Nicholas' Den
Tania|| The siren of a police car trailed behind us as we sped to the location Eloise had discovered. Eloise sat at the back of the car. She had insisted on following us even though we had begged her to stay behind. "This would be traumatizing for you. Moreover, your body needs rest to fully recover." I had tried to reason with her. "I can't keep running from Nicholas. I need to face him and face my fear and if he goes down today, I want to be there to witness the moment." She had insisted. "I will not let you!" I stood my ground. "Then I won't tell you where the place is." She said cockily. "Good luck finding where the penthouse is, and even if you are lucky, it would be too late then," She said, folding her hands. Ivan wasn't too pleased with her. With fallen shoulders, he conceded. "She is coming with us!" Ivan had declared and she smiled triumphantly. She had played on Ivan's fear of running out of time and losing his grandma and had won. As we waited for Eloise to g
The Mask She Wears Chapter 97: Ivan's Struggles
Ivan||I grunted awake, my hand heading straight to the throbbing pain at the back of my head. "Ouch!" I cried out as a sharp pain shot through my head when my hand touched the wound.My hands felt wet, and I brought my hand to my eyes to inspect it, and I saw blood.Struggling to my feet, I tried to remember what had happened but when my eyes fell on the chair in the middle of the room, it flashed in my mind instantly. Nana had been kidnapped and Tania and Eloise were the ransom to get her back.This realization sent a surge of energy through me and I regained a tremendous amount of strength. There was also a tinge of fear developing deep within me. A paper on the floor caught my attention and I picked it up.YOU HAVE UNTIL 8.00 P.M TODAY OR ELSE SHE DIES, the note read.I squeezed the note in my hand as anger overcame me.From recent events, I knew not to take Nicholas' threats lightly.Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out my phone and checked the time.It was 8.00 am.This mean
The Mask She Wears Chapter 96: The Enemy In My House.
Ivan|| I could feel the exhaustion in my bones as I drove home from the hospital in the pitch-black darkness. It took a great deal of effort to keep my eyes open as I drove. It had been quite some time since I had a good night's rest ever since this entire situation had escalated. I was driving home alone; Tania had insisted on spending the night with her sister, and I had left them consoling themselves and planning their wrath on Nicholas, whom Tania had just found out had been the cause of her parents' death. That one was a big eye-opener; I never even saw that coming. I knew surprises were coming, but damn. I knew Nicholas was ruthless but I had never thought it was as bad as this was. He had killed and would have continued killing till he had wiped their family off the face of the earth until he was the only one left alive so he could take the company. I had never seen such callousness before in a man except my father. Nicholas reminded me a lot about my father. They could

Tania|| I held Eloise's hands tight in mine as I ran alongside the stretcher that was rolling her into the hospital. After she had collapsed by the roadside, we put her in the car and drove back to the hospital. I sat with her in the back of the car, her head resting on my thighs and my hands clasping hers as Ivan raced to the hospital. It was thanks to Ivan's connection that a team was already waiting for us when we arrived at the hospital. "Ma'am you need to let go now. We are taking her in to run some tests." A male nurse held my arm, holding me back from following the stretcher. "No! I can't leave her!" I cried out. "Madam, you have to allow us to do our jobs properly. Please calm down." His words were strong, but his expression was very soft. He was acting very professional. "Please, I won't disturb you. I will just stand in a corner, she needs me now more than ever!" I begged. My hands stretched out reaching for her hand that was retreating fast from me as she was p
The Mask She Wears Chapter 94: My sister, Tania.
Eloise|| I was shocked to hear my name, more so coming from the lady standing in front of me. My trembling reduced, and I raised my head. She had come out from the car that had almost taken my life alongside the handsome and gentle man who was leading me back to the car with them. I continued to stare at her as I tried to get my wits together after nearly facing death. It was as if I had been predestined to die with the way I was having a lot of experiences that brought me close to death. The situation was starting to get weird as her excitement of seeing me grew, and she started to jump and cry in one place. She acted as if she was very familiar with me. Who was she? How did I know her? And then it clicked in my head. I did know this lady. My eyes furrowed, and a deep rage started to brew inside my belly as my mind brought back the pain of the past. "You!" I spat out, pointing at her, my brown eyes heavy with hate. Nicholas whore! I had once threatened to kill her, and
The Mask She Wears Chapter 93: Things That Meet The Eye
Tania|| "The result will be put in five days." The doctor who had drawn my blood for the DNA testing said. "Five days is too far! Can't it be done tomorrow?" I could not wait five days to be able to take my inheritance back. "A day is not feasible, especially since your records do not exist to compare it to. We would have to search through the database to track your father's DNA." He explained. "Five days is too much, Sir!" I refused to give up. Figuring there was no way to continue arguing with me with any prospect of winning, he conceded. "Fine. I'll try to get it ready in two days. That's the best I can." He said. "Two days is fine. I can work for two days." I agreed, and the doctor looked visibly relieved. Ivan and I had headed straight to Ivan's hospital for the DNA test the board members had asked for to prove to them I was Tania White–Angel. I had suggested we go today as I could not wait another day. Today had been the best day of my life, and I could not hi
The Mask She Wears Chapter 92: The Escape
Eloise|| My eyes flickered open, and I was greeted by a bright light. It was hard for my swollen eyes to adjust to the light but I tried my best. I lay on the floor, my body aching all over. I looked at my body but I could not find my night dress on me, instead the shreds of what used to be my night dress were scattered on the floor. Hugging my naked breasts, I slowly sat up, wincing as pain shot through every part of my body. I assessed my surroundings. The room was quiet, and Nicholas was nowhere to be seen. Knowing that was a relief to me but I knew that I needed to act fast. Nicholas would be coming back to inflict more pain on me. I pushed myself up, trying to get on my feet but I ended up just stumbling back to the ground and hurting my injured body. I was weak, my body suffering from Nicholas' attacks, thirst, and lack of food. I could barely move an inch, but I knew if I lay there, I would die, and I did not want to die, especially in the hands of the devil spawn
