ARE YOU MAD WOMAN?

The car hooted loudly at the gate of Skylars' manor. Bernice's bodyguard was really in a rush to get her home because her crying and cursing were getting on to his last nerve.

If he could, he would have stopped the car on some deserted road, wrung the breath out of her, and dumped her lifeless body in the sea.

He was an Army General turned bodyguard. He had worked so hard for his achievements in the army and was honourably discharged from active duty. At the age of twenty-eight, he had managed to reach heights that most thought of only in their dreams.

The only reason he took this job was that he owed Mr. Skylar and he was a man who paid his debts. Working as the bodyguard of this spoiled brat was an insult to his manhood.

Driving straight to the entrance of the mansion, he opened the rear door, took a hold of the young miss, and shoved her out. Her intense screaming brought her mother to run out of the house to find out what was happening.

Seeing her precious daughter sprawled on the ground crying her eyes out, she knelt and gathered her into her arms. The bodyguard, who couldn't be bothered further, got back into the car and drove it to the garage.

"Princess, what happened to you? Who made you sad?"

"Mummy, he doesn't want me", she sobbed pitifully in her mother's arms.

Mrs. Skylar called for the servants to help her daughter into the house. Her husband, who was already sick and tired of their daughter's tantrums stood in the living room with arms across his chest, his lips already pressed in a thin line.

Bernice rushed to her father, expecting him to open his arms to embrace her, but he just stood there with a stoic face. Seeing her father's indifference to her pain, she crumbled to her feet. Her mother ran to her and embraced her, trying to comfort her, which made Mt. Skylar madder. He picked her daughter up and set her on the couch.

"Why are you causing so much ruckus?"

His daughter looked at him with red, teary eyes. "Frost doesn't want me. He humiliated me in his office. He even has a fiancée," she cried even more, remembering what occurred.

Her father sighed, "Were you expecting him to remain single forever just waiting for you to stop messing around?

Hearing this, she bawled and turned to her mother. Her mother, seeing her precious princess in so much pain, could just hold her in comfort.

"Gilbert, why don't we invite the boy over for dinner and talk some sense into him? I am sure he will listen to us"

"Are you mad, woman?" he shouted."Our daughter has turned into an undisciplined brat because of you. Why can't you teach her wrong from right? Isn't she the one who came begging us to let her marry Mike knowing very well that she was already engaged to that boy? You agreed without even considering Frost's feelings and now you want me to intervene? I am doing no such thing" he said, venting out his anger.

Bernice curled her fingers tight, her nails digging into her palms. "I am going to kill her. No woman has a right to be by his side. HE IS MINE, ONLY MINE" she shouted like an insane person.

Her father turned and, with his right hand, gave her a tight slap on her left cheek. He pointed a finger at her "If anything happens to that young girl, I will not lift a finger to help you. In fact, I will send you to prison myself", he shouted, his face red with anger.

Shocked beyond feeling, she looked at her father. Her loving Daddy who had never laid even a finger on her since her birth, her Daddykins who always granted even the most impossible of her wishes, who sheltered her from the rain and sun hit her! This brought her back to her senses faster than the speed of light.
