Chapter 41 Don't Leave

ZeldaWe both turned toward the door to find Mr. Wenger standing there, his face tight with anger and a hint of surprise at the scene before him. His gaze shifted between James and me, his voice sharp as he demanded,"What is going on here?"James, still holding me on his lap, seemed completely unbothered by the interruption. He tilted his head slightly, meeting Mr. Wenger's glare with a cool smirk."Oh, Mr Wenger," he said as though he had only just noticed him. "Have you come to see Xander? How may I help you?"Mr. Wenger’s lips tightened, his irritation barely contained. "Susan is out there crying. She hasn’t stopped since you left. It’s getting worse. The wound on her hand hurts, and she’s calling out your name over and over."James’s expression didn’t shift. He leaned back casually, his arm still firmly around me. "And what do you want me to do about it? Soothe her! Tell her to stop crying! Do something!".Mr Wenger scoffed, a low, mocking sound. "Do you think I haven’t tried tha

Chapter 42 The Fake Invitation

Days passed, and I stayed immersed in my work, juggling my dreams and responsibilities. My nights were consumed with designing, and crafting pieces for my portfolio, while my days were spent doing odd jobs to inch closer to my goals. The live interview with Master Zee loomed on the horizon, keeping me laser-focused. In the whirlwind of activity, I hadn’t visited Michael for a while.It was during one of these visits to the hospital that I ran into Madam T, the old housekeeper from the Wengers’ estate. She stood by the reception, a familiar, comforting presence from my past.“Madam T!” I greeted, surprised and pleased.Her face lit up. “Oh, my little girl, it’s so good to see you! How have you been?”“I’m doing fine, Madam T. How are you?”“I’m well, dear. And I’m so glad we ran into each other because I have something for you.”“For me?” I asked, puzzled.She reached into her purse and pulled out an envelope, handing it to me with a warm smile. “It’s an invitation from the Wengers.”I

Chapter 43 My Choice

Slowly, I turned around, my heart pounding. If Susan had crossed that line, she wasn’t going to like what happened next.Susan stood there, seething, her sharp eyes fixed on me like a predator ready to pounce. Her voice dripped with venom as she lashed out,“Why did you come here and ruin my party, flaunting yourself in that cheap, sultry dress? Showing off your arms, your legs, your cleavage—what are you hoping to achieve? Do you think James is going to fall in love with you just because you dressed like some desperate hoe?”I couldn’t help but scoff at her dramatics. This woman was truly losing it. “First of all, Susan,” I said, my tone cold and even, “James is my husband. Not yours. He’s married to me. Remember?”Susan’s lips curled into a sneer. “Yes, but he doesn’t love you. Don’t fool yourself.”I held up a hand, silencing her. “I’m n

Chapter 44 The Pool

ZeldaA sharp sting jolted me from the darkness. The world around me was a blur, sounds muffled, and my chest ached from the struggle. Slowly, shapes and colours came into focus. Someone was hovering over me, their voice cutting through the haze.“Wake up, Zelda! Come on! Wake up! You were on the swimming team in school—you’re better than this. Stop pretending to faint over a little pool!”I blinked, finally able to make out the face of one of James’s friends. I couldn’t remember his name, but his disdain for me was unforgettable. For years, he had treated Susan like a delicate flower, his pseudo-little sister, and me like the thorn in her side.As soon as I gasped for air and moved, he stepped back, brushing his hands as though his job was done.“She’s alive!” he announced loudly, his voice tinged with irritation rather than relief.That’s when I noticed the crowd.
