Chapter 5 Intensions

She entered the house thinking she will make him fall for her, everything seems to go the opposite way all because of Amalia. All her dad's attention is always on her, every single time he comes back from a business trip he will always spend most of his time with her, and with that going on, she knows she will not win his heart so long as Amalia is alive.

With the hatred inside of her, she decided to make Amalia's life a nightmare making use of every single opportunity she's got. Walking slowly to the dining, she smiles lovingly at her husband and gave him a peck on his jaw while greeting him which he( Brown) just smiles lightly at her. She turns to Amalia and greeted her with a fake smile on her face but the hatred in her eyes didn't go unseen by Amalia who responded sweetly.

She took her seat at her usual position and there comes Dellia all dressed up beautifully with her light brown hair reaching her at shoulder length. Standing for a while, Dellia waited for her dad to notice her and she got what she wanted because her dad was now looking at her while smiling. With a wide smile on her face, she greeted her dad and kiss his hands as Amalia always does.

Knowing what she wanted to hear, Mr. Brown greeted her adding the word Princess to her name and commenting on her dress saying she looks stunning in it. This got her grinning from ear to ear while taking her seat. Amalia was overjoyed seeing her family all happy.

Looking at Amalia, Dellia smirk victorious. Knowing she's gotten her dad's attention too, she dares Amalia to try to play all princess-like like she used to because now, she is more determined to get his love all for herself. And with that, she looks away from her and smiles at her mother beside her while greeting her.

They start eating their food quietly. Upon tasting the food, Lizzy couldn't help but wonder who prepared the meal because it was so tasty that she feels like she might need more. on the other hand, Dellia was gulping down her food very fast with her giving herself just a little break. She felt like she can eat the food all through her life.

After some minutes, Lizzy calls Mrs. William and asked her to bring more porish to the table. Placing the porish on the table, Lizzy asked who prepared the porish but to her greatest surprise, what she heard wasn't what she was expecting to hear. The delicious porish was prepared by Amalia! she repeated it over and over again but still couldn't believe it.

She knows Amalia is a good cook but she always comes up with one fault or the other just to beat her up every time. Because she is a good cook, she always asks her to be the one to prepare their meal in the absence of her husband. But tasting this food now and hearing that it was prepared by her, she didn't know what to say. She smiles lightly at Amalia and congratulates her for a job well done.

Hearing what Mrs. William said, Dellia paused and took a glance at Amalia not being able to accept what Mrs. William said. Pretending to be alright, she bend her head down and continue eating her food but this time, she was gentle and well-mannered. Not wanting Amalia to know that she enjoys the food.

Mr. Brown knew it was his Princess Amalia that prepared the delicious porish but still, he couldn't be any less proud of her. She cooks so well like her mother Melissa and he knows she will make a wonderful home to who so ever is destined to be with her. Glimmering, he raises his hand and places them on top of Amalia's head while shaking his head.

Seeing what her dad did, Dellia's face become sore from jealousy. She then cleared her throat and start telling her dad how good Amalia can cook because she always love to accompany Mrs. William in the kitchen. With that, she tells her papa that she will learn how to cook too so she will be able to make delicious food for him. This got Mr. Brown smiling and he gave her his approval and support.

After breakfast, Mr. Brown asks his family to gather in the living room for a talk. Settling down to their respective seats, Mr. Brown told them that he will be going On a business trip in two days which will take two months at least. Looking at his princess Amalia, he knew this information didn't go well with her but he has to do this for her most important, and for the others. Waiting for a response, he continues to look at Amalia because her response is all he needs now.

Hearing what her husband said, Lizzy couldn't be any happy than she already is now. Pretending to be sad, she looks at her husband with a sad expression on her face and gave him a response of understanding. Though she was a bit sad her husband will be leaving, her desire and determination to torment Amalia's life were more than the love she had for him.

Dellia on the other hand was happy because she knows her big sister Amalia's days of living a prince's life are coming to an end. She couldn't wait to make her lick the floor and wash her legs while kneeling in front of her. Then, she (Amalia) will know who is the real princess.

Forming a fake tear, Dellia sobbed which got her dad's attention as all his focus was on Amalia. This made her dad leave his seat just to calm her down and try to make her understand. After a while, she finally settled down and gave a head shake as approval. This made Mr. Brown feel a bit relieved.

From the time those words left her dad's mouth, Amalia when in a daze not being able to understand what is happening. It seems as if life is playing games with her and it always wins no matter how she tries to win. Sitting all silence, Amalia was trying to keep calm but the harder she tries, the more she languishes. Not being able to hold it anymore, Amalia gets up and climbs up the stairs without saying anything to anyone.
