"Back to what I was staying, the chef tasted the meal I prepared and was absolutely speechless for a few minutes and the servants there with us at that time thought that he had a minor heart attack because the man was immovable and only kept blinking his eyes every now and then and when they tried to take the plate from him, he nearly punched someone," Rosaline laughed as she remembered that time "Don't touch my plate, fat heads! He would say, Rosaline, the dish you made is absolutely spectacular in looks and taste. I must say that I am proud to have you as a student but now you have graduated and you passed beautifully," She smiled. "The chef was delighted as he said that and you could see how happy and proud he was from the look on his face. He had the biggest smile I have ever seen on his face and because of that I was able to see the set of pearl white teeth he had but was hiding underneath the scowl wore all the time I went
After the curt answer, my father looked me straight in the eye and repeated it one more time as if to solidify his rejection before he stood up from the head chair and stalked menacingly towards me. "You will in no way study that downgrading course, do you hear me?!" My father barked at me. "What a waste of time and talent! I have not spent so much time investing in you just for you to tell me that you want to go into cooking like a damn lowlife! I didn't raise a nobody chef you hear me? You are going to study business at the university once you finish high school and you are going to write applications to all the universities which will be my choices set for you, and then after your years in university you will marry my friend's son Vito and that's that!" He commanded, leaving me no room to object. Angel, my father looked at me with his blazing blue eyes that had high flames in them and the rest of the family members remained quiet because they were trying hard to be invisible a
Eleonora never lacked anything material-wise and when it came to the matter of her parents' love and affection, she didn't lack there because she had Josephine there to make up for it when her parents decided she was just an item that could be picked and dropped anytime they felt like it. Josephine cuddled Eleonora who was harshly wiping the tears off of her face, she had told herself time and time again that she wouldn't cry for her parents, her father especially but here she was wiping the remaining evidence left to prove that she was just bawling her eyes out because of her parents. The woman who had a slight bulge under her eyes raised her head to look at Josephine and the latter smiled at her encouraging her to try the whole smiling game and she did it, she offered a slight smile to her favourite person in the world while Josephine pat her back while rubbing circles as well, making her calm down instantly. "Do you want to talk about it?"Josephine asked in a soft voice. "What'
The frustration and pain she was going through were just too much for her to handle at the moment."You took me away, far far away to a deserted island where it was just me, you and the bodyguards with the helpers on that island and no one else. You made me work from home, overseeing my businesses while you kept me locked there for years and then every once in a while, you brought me back to the same location as Elly which happened to be the mansion in Spain,""I would spend all my time pleading with you to let me see my child but you'd never agree and you'd threaten to divorce me and take full custody of her, I couldn't care less about the divorce part but taking full custody?! You were breaking and destroying me inside, I was completely shattered so much that I had no choice but to push emotions to the back of my mind!!" Rosaline hissed."I was your pawn and you made sure to keep it that way for a very long time but not anymore, I am filing a divorce and Eleonora is already an adult
"Yea, I refuse to call that man my father, all I know is that he better pray to all his stars that he doesn't cross paths with me because if he does, I'd teach him a lesson he would never be able to come back from in this life or the next life," she hissed menacingly. "But of course, for that to happen I need the go sign from you as permission before I do anything to that scum and all I know is that if he actually tries to take his negativity to another woman and tries to make her suffer as much as you did, then I will personally wipe him off the face of this earth because someone who is willing to repent would not commit the same crime twice," she threatened under her breath. "Mum when you wake up I want us to have our time together and hey, you can even teach me how to cook, if you want, of course, and then we'd have fun together while getting to know each other better, but for that to happen you have to wake up for me please," Eleonora pleaded with her unconscious mother to just
It got to the point that Eleonora had to put her palm on her mother's chest and hand every now and then to confirm that her heart was still heating and that her pulse was still active. Josephine walked into the room all fresh and clean, she cleared her throat announcing her presence in order not to wake Rosaline. "Any progress so far?" The woman asked curiously as she put the tray down on the centre table positioned in the couch area of her room. "Not yet, she's still passed out as a log and I am getting really worried." Eleonora stated as lines appeared on her forehead as she furrowed her brows in worry. "I should have just been a better daughter to her and helped her out instead of just standing by the side likes watching everything unfold while successfully eavesdropping on the conversation or more like argument she was having with that man. I never knew she went through so much just to have me and keep me safe away from that narcissist I unfortunately happen to call my father
''Good now on that note I have to tell you something, other than me Jossy has been checking up on you everytime do you mind if I bring her in so you two can say hi? And also so she won't bite my head off when she sees me for not telling her you're awake already, I am most definitely not looking to die now thank you very much." Eleonora said as she turned around to go call Josephine. Eleonora stood up and headed to the door after that to find Josephine on the other side of the door in the hallway as she opened up, the woman was pacing around back and forth while anxiously waiting for some news on the condition of Rosaline. She till looked stunning as usual but she was worried so she didn't notice when Elly was next to her, she was brought out of her own reverie when the woman put her hand on her shoulder effectively making her stop moving around and coming to a standstill instead."Any news? How is she? Is she awake yet?" Josey bombarded Elly with questions not giving her a break to an
That evening after Viccorio made his choice Butler Chu swiftly sent Rosaline a message informing her of the new information and urging her to get ready as soon as possible which gave the older woman mixed feelings because on one hand she personally felt Viccorio would be a good husband to her daughter but on the other hand she didn't want her daughter to face the messed up situation she did in her own arranged marriage. Viccorio on the other hand could choose whoever he wanted without breaking a sweat ad as one of the most handsome men in the city, he could have any woman he wanted with a snap of his finger but his priority ws getting the old man at home off his back knowing he won't have to face more troubles in the future. With a heavy heart and reeled up mixed emotions she called Elly to sit beside her when the young woman returned to the room with her dinner ready in hand, the young woman was confused at first but she quietly put the food on the table beside and walked to her mo
