Varda's POV

I continued to wallow in my own thoughts until a younger maid stepped into my room with a tray clutched tight to her hands. Just the aroma of the food made my stomach grumble, I was really hungry and I was at least grateful that Elisa was not also starving me just like Fransisca had chosen to. The young maid bowed her head at me in respect and I pointed at the bed, instructing her that she drop the food tray on the bed. She did exactly as I had commanded and afterward, she turned around to walk away but I was going to seize this opportunity to ask her a few questions, especially because she looked really naive and easily manipulated.

"Wait." I yelled. I watched her fidget in fear before turning around to gaze at me. Her face was pale and fear was written all over it. She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly and i caught her legs tremble in fear. Why was she so afraid of me? Was that normal or had she done something suspicious that got her so afraid?

  • My obsessive brother in-law   Chapter Twenty Five 

    Varda's POVA deal? To help me with Alex's investigation? I could not help but choke out a hysteric laughter. I clutched my stomach tight and bursted into series of laughter. I laughed so hard that my stomach began to hurt. Her words were surprisingly too funny for me to handle. "Thank you so much for the good laugh tonight Fransisca, I really did need it. You can leave now." I pointed at the door once my laughter had eventually subsided. Fransisca scoffed at me, she had an ireitated look plastered on her face as she spoke. "What is so funny to you?" She snapped at me. I shrugged in response. "Just the thought of you, you Fransisca, helping me with Alex's investigation, very funny." I said with a very dramatic applaud for her.Fransisca rolled her eyes at me. "I said it was a deal so I am not exactly helping you without receiving something from my own end." Fransisca pointed out. I slowly nodded my head at her, that was true though. She was going to need something from me in return. I

  • My obsessive brother in-law   Chapter Twenty Four 

    Varda's POVI laid comfortably on the bed with my eyes fixated on the roof, I kept thinking about all of what Stephen had said to me earlier and from the look of things, Stephen and Alex had a really shitty past. I mean I could not exactly pinpoint what had happened to them and what they had been through but one thing I was confident for sure was that they had to survive the hard way. Stephen made it seem even more serious and I was afraid about that. I just badly wanted answers, I knew he had told me to stay away but I was not going to. If he could investigate on his own, then I had the right to investigate too. After all we were both related to Alex in our own diverse ways. First, I was going to see Florence tomorrow morning and make her steal the keys to Alex room but before then, I would have to make sure that neither Stephen or Elisa would be around for that to happen because they would immediately find it suspicious and most likely kick Florence out of the mansion. As for Elisa

  • My obsessive brother in-law   Chapter Twenty Three

    Varda's POV"What do you think my relationship with Alex was like?" Stephen asked, he paused to choke out a hysteric laughter and raised a brow at me. I shrugged in response. "How would I know that? I and Alex dated for years but I never for once saw you at the mansion, I never even knew Alex had a brother until his death so I am just wondering where you have been all these years and why you chose to leave?" I asked. Stephen sighed in response, he settled back on the bench and rubbed his palms together. "It is more complicated than you think and I am not sure I want to talk about it." Stephen muttered.I scoffed in disbelief at him and shook my head in disdain. "Do you realize that you have done nothing but waste my time? You have not answered any of the questions honestly and not to mention, all you did was just make a joke out of everything when this is actually a very serious matter." I snapped at him. I suddenly felt anger rise in me and it was because Stephen had chosen not to gi

  • My obsessive brother in-law   Chapter Twenty Two

    Varda's POV"I will answer every of your questions honestly Varda, you have my word." Stephen placed his hand on his chest and spoke with a serious look on his face. Without wasting anymore time, I hastily threw the most important question at him. "Why am I here? I know you do not have feelings for me, neither do you need me because it is not like I have some hidden inheritance somewhere, my parents are not the wealthiest people in the world so I need you to answer this question honestly, why do you need me?" I asked. Stephen sighed heavily, he raised his hands in mock surrender and i already knew the kind of reply he was about to give me. "I am sorry Varda, I can be honest about everything else but that."I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him. "You made a promise." I pointed out. "That is why I am apologizing for not being able to fulfill that promise, I can answer every other question but that one. This is not the right time to tell you why you are here but I can promise you that I wi

  • My obsessive brother in-law   Chapter Twenty One

    Varda's POVAfter my conversation with Elisa, for some weird reason I felt angry throughout the rest of the day. Maybe it was not Elisa that fueled my anger, it was the fact that Stephen had not given me a well detailed explanation on his relationship with Fransisca and Asher, it was like he just expected me to welcome and accept them with warm hugs. Some few minutes ago, I saw Stephen and Asher in the courtyard playing basketball, the happiness on Stephen's face was something I could not give him. So then this same question clicked to me again. Why was I here? What was my purpose being here? Why was he keeping me if he could be so happy around Asher and Fransisca? Why was he holding me captive like I added some sort of value to his life? I hated the way I felt but Stephen made me feel that way, rather inferior.I was sitting alone in the garden while staring at the dark clouds, I was lost in my thoughts until I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder. I was startled for a brief moment until

  • My obsessive brother in-law   Chapter Twenty

    Varda's POVI watched the way Florence shuddered in fear. Her entire countenance fell and she paused to give me a "I told you so" look. I sighed heavily and hastily thought of a nice lie that would get Elisa not to misunderstand things."Elisa, relax." I said rising to my feet. I paused to roll my eyes at her before continuing. "I was just talking to her about some stuff." I said with a slight shrug. I did not want to mention her name because i knew if I did then Elisa would suspect that I and Florence had quite a deep conversation. It was better to leave her name out of whatever conversation I was about to have with Elisa."Talking about what Varda? Do you know how dangerous this is?" Elisa snapped at me. For the first time in my life, I saw a frightened look on Elisa's face, I just wondered who she was afraid of or rather why she was afraid. She was beginning to scare and annoy me at the same time, mostly annoy me. "What is wrong with you Elisa?" I snapped. That was it! I was beginn

  • My obsessive brother in-law   Chapter Eighteen

    Varda's POVI shook my head in disagreement. I was not a part of their family so there was no need for them to classify me as one. What was the point in pretending anyways? It was not like Fransisca actually wanted me to have breakfast with them. Just as I was about to respond, Fransisca beat me to it. "Actually Stephen, I did not think she was going to want to have breakfast with us so I did not cook enough for her." Fransisca announced. What a bitch! I felt anger rise in me and I fought back the urge to snap at her. That was exactly what she wanted, she was trying so hard to push the button in front of Stephen, to make a complete fool of me and I was not going to let that happen.I forced a smile on my face and shrugged in response. "It is fine, I was going to refuse the offer anyways." I said. Fransisca scoffed and rolled her eyes at me. Stephen on the other hand rose to his feet with a concerned look fixated on his face. "Are you sure? We can share or order more food for us to hav

    Varda's POV"Why am I being addressed in such manner by your son?" I snapped at her with a raised brow. Fransisca sighed heavily. She rolled her eyes at me and snapped back. "What do you expect him to address you as? My daddy's wife?" She cocked her head to the right. I could not help but scoff in disbelief at her arrogance. I was not exactly asking her son to address me as my daddy's wife, of course that would be really awkward but I was expecting him to address me as something a bit more respectful like 'Ma' or 'Ma'am' Aunty makes it seem weird because that is the same manner he addresses the maids in the mansion as. Or did Fransisca tell him I was the maid?"Did you perhaps tell your son that I was a maid at his daddy's house?" I had to ask, air quoting my words. Fransisca sighed again. "Why would I do that? And even if I wanted to, I was confident that he would not even believe me. After all you dress even fancier than I do, what are the chances that he will believe you are a maid
