"hello, cute baby girl?" The voice of the young lady as the entrance was the first thing aunty Mimi heard as she walked towards them, "I want to see someone " Joy said and earned a smile from her, the lady picked up a register and asked joy with a kind eye which name she was looking for and she mentioned Maria Sebastian. The expression on her face frozen.
"are you Maria daughter?" She asked but Joy didn't reply to her questions as aunty Mimi chuckled. "I can't believe that b*tch as a kid" the lady said and joy raised her face up, joy was really angry at her choice of word but could only wait to get an a direction before insulting her, aunry Mimi was already glaring at her from the side as she could see she is all shades of arrogance and rudeness.
Cassandra drop the register and pick her phone to update her school website. Joy looked at her curiously before talking, "are you still helping me?" She asked while Cassandra looked at her with disdain before she changed her expression, "I opt-in a faster and easier way to get her to you with fames added" she said and joy could roughly guess what her decision will be.
Before Cassandra could move on with her plan, the administrator entered with Beatrice, "what going on here?" He asked and Cassandra was scared, "I… I'm helping this little girl look for her mommy" she replied and the administrator looked at Joy, "is that true?" He asked and joy pout, "no, she insult me and called my aunty a B word" Joy said with a wronged expression, aunty Mimi's soul was already laughing at the lady who just fell into Joy hands. All she should start praying for is the demons in her not to push her to the apex.
"I didn't"
Cassandra tried to deny and shut Joy up but Joy went straight to the administrator with a pout.
"she said, she will make the whole school know that my aunty is a mother which is a lie, shouldn't she be sued?, Or this how the while school is, training to blackmail people and be rude to visitors?" Joy asked and the administrator was speechless.
After several thoughts, the administrator decided to punish Cassandra or else the nagging girl in front of him won't stop, he looked sideways to see Beatrice still standing and trying her best to keep her laughter hidden. "Beatrice, help the little cutie find her aunty while I punish Cassandra" he said and Beatrice nodded, "so your name is Cassandra, you don't worth the name, you are just a B word, lady" Joy said making everyone in the room speechless, Cassandra was already foaming, pressing her hand tight on the phone, almost breaking it.
Beatrice walked joy out of the administration office, then she noticed aunty Mimi, "good day, ma, who are you looking for?" She asked as she held Joy's hand, "Maria Sebastian" Joy said, and Beatrice also looked shocked, "is she your aunty?" Beatrice asked with a smile, "Yes" joy replied with a smile, "my name is Beatrice Jones, your sister is my best friend, I will take you to meet her now but we have to prank her" she said and joy happily nodded, she finally found an adult with the same energy as her.
"let go and prank her" Beatrice said and joy smiled and followed her.
Aunty Mimi was speechless as the sudden change of the grown up into Joy's age, she seems to be also playful like joy and maybe nasty like her.
Aunty Mimi silently walked behind both of them who were talking and matching to the room, when they got to the front of the room, they quietly lifted the nylon they found and poured water into it then tiptoed into the room and burst the water on Maria's head, she woke up immediately looking like a drenched cat, Beatrice quickly brought out her phone and took a picture of her.
"Bea, I kill you today"
That was the first thing Maria said as soon as she opened her eye, not noticing Joy and aunty Mimi.
"Kill me as well, and also aunty Mimi" Joy said and Maria rubbed her eye thinking she was hallucinating, "I heard Joy's voice" she said and rubbed her eye one more time
.
The last time she saw Joy was the last holiday and meeting her is both blessings and curse, she won't quit pranking her each time she got a chance, maybe that is more to the water waking process she received today.
"Joy Sebastian" Maria said after confirming that the girl was right in front of her in fresh and blood, "calling my full name sure runs in your family blood" Joy said with a pout. "look at my favorite kiddo" Maria said trying to hug her but Joy backed off.
"I'm the only kiddo you know, and no hugging with you in your wet diapers" Joy said and Beatrice started laughing. Maria glared at the two of them before standing, she greeted aunty Mimi before going to get dressed.
She came back looking fresh and clean, she saw Beatrice and Joy catching up like old friends, holding hands and laughing like maniacs.
"To what do I owe this not too pleasant surprise" she asked and Joy looked at her, "I came to cheer you up for your last project" she asked.
Maria was shocked, was she keeping tabs on me!
"Thanks, how did brother allow you?" Maria asked as she picked one of the peanut Beatrice served Joy.
"Don't mention his name, he might hear you"joy said placing her hand on her lip. Maria's face widen, "you sneaked over?" She said with fear written all over her.
Maria's got pale immediately she thought of how protective her brother is toward Joy and what he will do if he found out Joy sneaked to meet her.
"I didn't support this idea, it's all on you and aunty Mimi, I didn't invite you here" Maria was already shivering as she picked her phone to call Goerge but Joy collected it, she rolled her eye at her aunt's nervousness.
"He won't know if we don't snitch" joy winked but that didn't cool Maria's temperature as her heart was racing kilometers."Let me show you our project" Beatrice said and joy was happy and she let Beatrice hold her to the headmistress office to get the keys."Who is the little girl?" The headmistress said as she saw Beatrice walked in hand in hand with her. "Good morning ma, my name is Joy, her daughter" she said and the headmistress was speechless, she looked up at Beatrice face but Beatrice had a confused face looking at Joy. Joy was smiling happily, having achieved pranking Beatrice herself. "Oh, my, you look cute, you must look like your father" the headmistress said smiling at her, "No" Beatrice suddenly said and the two look at her"She looks like her old grandma, that why she has wrinkles on her forehead" Beatrice said and joy glared at her."How old are you?" The headmistress asked looking confused at the duo, "I'm almost six" joy replied and looks at Beatrice. "Where is you
"Daddy, are you planning to remarry?" She asked, George's brows rose as he heard the words that came out of his father's mouth. "No" Goerge said and stood up, placed the papers on her reading table. As he lifted her up to his arms and walked down to the dinner table.He placed her down in on the chair, brought her for close to her and smiled before whispering, "it will always be me and you, my love" he said and Joy smiled."Not for long' she thought and blushed before eating her food.***In Durham, Beatrice and Maria went to meet the headmistress. She was checking out a file when they got there, so they waited till she was ready to attend to them."Sit down" she said and they both sit. "I was notified that, your projects won the best award of the semester in your class" she said as they both nodded.The headmistress headed over to them a file, "this design was what lost at the final of the international competition, last two year, identify where the mistake was?" She said and the tw
In Durham, Maria dragged Beatrice's luggage into the house while Beatrice walked in with the less heavy ones. Mr Edward was the first to notice them sneaking into the house."Beatrice Edward '' Mr Gabriel Edward yelled as the two rats sneaking in got scared and stood still. Mr Gabriel who was happy he was able to catch them, walked out of the kitchen where he had sighted them."Why is my favorite holding the heavy bag while you are strolling with your hands free?" Her father said and she was speechless. Maria started grinning like an old cat when she saw that she was supported by him. "Dad, look at this, this is a heavy bag," Beatrice said as she felt wronged. "Can you quantity that nylon with this heavy luggage?" He replied instantly before he collected the bag from Maria and rubbed her head."How are you my darling, how was school?, Hope your project wasn't stressful?" Mr Gabriel said as he pulled Maria to the side to seat and kept checking on her body like she was a pet. Beatrice
"No!!" Joy was surprised by her father's response. Her mind started thinking of various ways to convince him."I promise not to send her away, Aunty Mimi has a lot of work to do already, I can't watch her sweat for me too" Joy said inorder to convince the father."Can I eat my meal now?" Goerge said as he cuts into his daughter's speech. Joy wanted to pout and steal the food away.She though it's was the best way to convince him, so she nodded her head and Goerge quickly digged into the meal.He missed eating his favorite as he is either too busy with work or busy eating Joy's favourite that he almost forget he has a favourite.He didn't stop until the last bite went down his throat. He was satisfied, he drank water and sat back to rest.Aunty Mimi quickly packed the plates away with Joy's help. Joy ran back to complete her mission but found out that he had walked to the front door to receive a call.Joy sat at the dinning waiting for her father, she started practicing how to convince
Aunty Mimi got scared at the noise that came from Beatrice. She looked at Beatrice's face as she was still on shock."I already told you, this old woman knows nothing" Aunty Mimi said as she realized that her words had made her froze."I can't even remember many things, just ask the boss, once he is here" Aunty Mimi said to make her relax.Beatrice returned to normal and realized what she had done, she was embarrassed. She quickly covered it with other various question.Night time came, Beatrice took joy to her room, she was surprised at the room arrangement. It's so luxurious. She could vividly say the price tag on each doll and nice bags and clothes she saw.She didn't want to be carried away, she led joy to the bathroom and help her with her quick shower. Joy wasn't stressful as she cooperated with her properly.They sang various rhymes when washing Joy's hair that they lost track of time. Beatrice was able to convince Joy to leave the bathroom after half an hour.Beatrice dried he
"Oh my good lord" Beatrice paniched for a while at the sight of the incident but she overcame her fears and rushed to carry Joy, she noticed it was just a minor injury.At the point, it came to light that Joy might have a phobia for blood, she couldn't even see her own blood as she fainted.Beatrice rushed her to her own room and cleaned her up and laid her on the bed. Beatrice kept pacing up and down till she finally woke up."Aunty Bea" she said slowly and Beatrice rushed to her. "Joy, how could you?" She asked as tears started to roll down her eye."I'm sorry, Aunty Bea, I won't try it ever again, I don't want to learn the fruit cutting anymore, just don't cry" joy said.Beatrice chuckled in-between her tears, she couldn't believe what Joy was saying."You should pity yourself, not me, look at you, you just hurt yourself, what should I tell aunty Mimi, and your father, if he finally shows up"Beatrice said and Joy held her closer, "nothing, nothing happened, that is it" joy said an
"Bye darling, don't trouble your teacher" Beatrice stood at the entrance as she waved at Joy who was entering into her car."Don't make your friends so jealous, and eat your fruits!" She said and smiled so brightly at her and Joy waved back at her.Joy waved till the Beatrice was no longer visible, she finally sat properly in the car and arranged her dress.Partially, she was sad that she won't get to see Beatrice for the next six hours or more. She looked down at the colourful plaster Beatrice placed on her hand and smiled.Beatrice, on the other hand, was happy as she went inside and started working on her secret agenda. She locked herself indoor to get progress in her work while aunty Mimi was touting around in the garden.****In Ely, Goerge entered into the restaurant in his suit and with just an assistant. He sent the other on an important assignment.He walked toward the table occupied by a couple, Mark and Benita who were looking at eachother like they will begin to fight in t
Joy matched up to him in anger and stepped on his toes. She was already foaming in anger, she couldn't believe that he would be so rude.Desmond felt the pain but he was too proud to yell. "Don't you ever talk to Aunty Beatrice like that ever again, you bastard"Joy yelled at him in anger, Beatrice walked up to joy, held her and walked away toward the counter to get their goods.Elizabeth looked at her brother with anger, she glared at him before walking away to look for her nanny who is probably buying vegetables.Desmond looked at the feet Joy stepped on and could still feel the pain. He tried to walk as though nothing happen but it was too serious to be ignored.He finally bent down and check on the feet, blowed on it before looking for her sister and the nanny.Beatrice and Joy walked into the house with just two bags in their hand. Aunty Mimi turned to look at them.She could see the traces of sadness in Joy's eye. "Joy, how was the mini shopping?" She asked inorder to get the re
"Joy Sebastian, come down right now, your aunty is here!" Goerge called out from the stairs as Joy rushed out of her room and walked down the stairs to meet her father.Joy looked around and met an empty sitting room and faced her father instantly."Where is Aunty Maria?" She asked and Goerge chuckled."Probably on her way coming, I guess" Goerge replied and Joy was shocked. She could not find a solid reason why her father would rush her to come down."Daddy, if you keep calling me like that, I might just faint before I can respond to you" Joy complained and Goerge chuckled again."As my daughter, you should be on your toes anytime we are having a guest!" Goerge said and joy rolled her eyes."Aunty Maria isn't a guest, she is our family, your sister, so I don't need to be up high to meet her!" Joy said and Goerge chuckled."We are having a whole lot more than what you are thinking, our first guest is just your aunty and maybe her dumb fiance" Goerge said and Beatrice walked up to the
A week has passed since Joel left Beatrice's home in the night and he was not reachable at all. Beatrice was worried but she had to bury her head in her new work."Sam, my phone beeped, get it for me!" Beatrice yelled from the kitchen and Sam grumbled before taking the phone to her."Check the message!" Beatrice said as she keep stirring the food without looking at Sam. Reluctantly, he checked the message and his face brightened as he saw the message."It's Joel!" Sam yelled and Beatrice turned to him with a surprised look. "What did he say?" Beatrice asked almost immediately."He asked you to meet him in a restaurant in the next street, Ace restaurant!" Sam responded and looked at his sister with funny eyes."Is he asking you out on a date?" Sam said and Beatrice didn't quite recover from the shock. Sam walked up to her and hit her."He said you should hurry up, he must have been waiting for you, go go go, I will take good care of the house and my girlfriend is coming around"Sam sai
"Thank you so much for hosting a get-together for me and doing this much for me, I really don't know what else to say apart from thank you!" Beatrice said."Don't mention!It's my duty to take good care of you!" Joel said and chuckled."It's not your duty, you are just being too nice of a friend to me, no one has ever treated me so good, it feels nice!" Beatrice said and Joel frowns at her."If I say it's my duty, it's my duty, don't argue with me because this guy right here knows best" Joel said and they laughed."So, what's next with you?" He asked and Beatrice sighs."Bid for jobs and get a profitable one!" Beatrice said and Joel hit her forehead."Why are you so dumb today? I don't want to know about jobs and bla bla bla, I want to know about relationship issues!" Joel said and Beatrice was shocked."Hmm, I don't really get your question then, can you explain?" Beatrice asked and Joel could only flink his head as he was frustrated."Okay, what do you think right now if I mention re
"Yes, her first kiss and you were her first crush and maybe love but you messed up, she went in search of Cecilia because she overheard you tell Joel you can be with her because she is a nobody.You didn't want to ruin her but you kissed her and she lay in your arms and probably you heard her heartbeats. That's all it takes to make a commitment to us.But After you did all those, you looked her in the eye and chased her out, you sent her out in the middle of the darkest night of her life.How dare you Goerge!" Maria yelled.Goerge looked down as he realized he really messed up.He really did spoil everything.Beatrice!Joy!Aunty Mimi!Maria!!!Mum!!! "This is so bad!" Goerge said and stood up from his seat and faced the see through glass."I am highly disappointed in what you did, brother!, I am hurt that it turns out that it was really you who messed up all along, brother" Maria said and each time she said the word brother, Goerge could feel the pain in his heart.Maria stood up an
Maria, knowing the in and out of the school properly, led Sam to an empty classroom and they sat down."Tell me what you know" Maria said impatiently and Sam chuckled. "If you are this curious, why did you speak with her?" Sam asked and Maria looked away."Okay, I don't judge,"Sam said and sat on the desk."Beatrice really went to meet Cecilia but it wasn't what it looks like to you and your brother.She went to meet Cecilia because she wanted your brother and the sweet lovely daughter to be happy.Do you know dumb Beatrice is in love with your brother? She still cries herself to sleep whenever she talks about it." Sam said and Maria was shocked."Yes, she said she didn't want to tell you that she loves your brother when the school resumed because she was scared you might insult her or cut out with her.She said thought she had a way in your brother's heart after they were cool for almost a week. They even kissed. Your brother took her first kiss and I think there was some smooching."
"Look at you, looking all round in your graduation gown" Joel said and laughed at Beatrice as she was nervously trying to arrange her graduation gown.Times does fly, three months have passed since the ugly incident. Beatrice is finally graduating from her fashion school with the best result and Joel has been with her since the beginning of the week and he was accepted by the family to stay for the week.Goerge returned to work a week after Benita's visit and Joel was free to enjoy his time in the city with Beatrice. Maria was released by her mother a day after her house arrest and she was busy touring around to see the fashion world better."Joel, are you insulting me or praising me, it's my day, man!" Beatrice said with a pout and Joel laughed at her."Sorry to burst your pretty pink bubbles, it's not your day, it's a day for more than 600 students in your school to graduate" he said and Beatrice turned away."Party popper!" She whispered and adjusted her cap. Joel smiled as he watc
Benita turned the sheet to them and Goerge was shocked. His portrait with a cloth he has never worn before."Whoa, this is awesome, she is so good!" Mark said as he stepped forward and looked at the sheet."Do you still have the wears, because I won't mind stealing those clothes because they look so lovely!" Mark kept talking as he was touching the sheet.Goerge walked to the and collect the sheet to look at it up close. It was well defined and so beautiful."Okay, I get it if you don't want to part with such beautiful clothes, at least connect me with the designer, I want to meet him or maybe her but I'm sure it's a man!" Mark said.Benita who was watching Goerge's shocked expression was quite to guess what the situation might be about."Did you just say Beatrice is a fashion designer?" Benita asked and Goerge nodded nonchalantly without looking at her.Mark looked at both of them so confused as he couldn't find the reason why Benita would ask those questions."You never saw those be
Within a few seconds, A man Maria had never seen before walked out from the hidden corner of the sitting room and bent down to look at her.Fear gripped Maria only by looking into the man's eyes. "Young Miss, I guess it's your turn to grow up!" The man stood up properly.Before Maria could think straight about what the man said, her eyes caught the tattoo on his chest. "Shadow!" She could easily link it up that he must have been her mother's secret bodyguard and most likely still belongs to the gang.The man carried her like she was a light feather and landed her on his shoulder before her thoughts could land.Then she remembered what all this was all about!"Mum!Why will you lock me inside!" She yelled but the PACs by which shadow was moving did not allow her to complete her words in the sitting room.Slowly, tears slipped from her eyes as she remained quiet and in no time, she landed on her bed and the next thing she heard was the door closing.Aunty Mimi sat beside Mrs Sebastian
Chapter 56What the hell is Cassandra doing with Maria!And they are smiling!!Beatrice got mad as she matched toward them angrily and hit the table, causing the drink to spill immediately."What is running in your head, mummy's girl!" Cassandra yelled and Beatrice chuckled."You get it all wrong girl!" Beatrice said back and Cassandra was confused."I don't have a mother!" Beatrice completed her words and everyone around started laughing and Cassandra got more angry."Maria, what is going on here?" Beatrice asked, facing Maria and Maria looked away, not daring to look at her best friend."I have been trying to talk to you all day, you were avoiding me!What happened?" Beatrice asked again but got no response.She tried to hold Maria but Maria shifted and Beatrice was shocked. Cassandra, who was noticing everything, suddenly laughed and the duo looked up."Finally, the cat was let out of the bag!" Cassandra said and laughed again and the duo were confused as to what Cassandra was sayin
