Varda's POV

The beeping sound of the heart monitor caused me to snap my eyes open. I furrowed my brows in confusion as my eyes came in contact with an unfamiliar white ceiling.

I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm as I slowly recognized this place to be the hospital. Why was I here though? Last thing I remember was being at the wedding. Wait, my wedding? Alex! All my memories slowly began to resurface in my mind.

I jerked off the bed and wiped the drop of sweat off my forehead. Where was Alex? Was he okay? I remember seeing him lying helplessly in his own pool of blood.

I needed answers and fortunately for me, I was about to get them because the front door flew open wide and my parents barged into the room. My eyes met with mum and I could sight the tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Mum." I choked out a small cry. My mother rushed towards my direction and pulled me into a tight hug. She patted my back gently and muttered kind words into my ears.

"How are you feeling?" My dad's stern voice interrupts I and my mother's bonding time. I pull away from my mum's shoulder and turn to gaze at dad. "I am okay dad, I was not shot but what was that all about? What about Alex? Is he okay? I-I...." Dad had not let me complete my sentence. He interrupted me with a loud cough, he cleared his throat and gazed at me with a straight face. "Varda, I need you to be strong."

"Yes baby." My mum whispered in a soft tone. I raised a brow at the both of them in confusion. I was in suspense, the athmosphere was tense and I was starting to become scared.

"What is going on? Why do you both have dead looks on your faces? What about Alex?" I threw questions at them, while impatiently waiting for an answer.

"Alex is dead." Dad's next statement made my entire body freeze. At that moment, my whole body felt numb. The hairs on my skin began to rise and my legs trembled. Alex was dead? Dead? That meant he was gone for good?

Everything felt too sudden, too much for me to process. I was unsure of how to feel since I never loved Alex and it was the same for him. Our relationship was nothing but a mere contract, he never cared for me yet for some weird reasons, I felt bad, I felt terrible that Alex was dead.

Some would see it as a free card of freedom for me. Alex's demise meant I could marry Davis, the one true man that I loved wholeheartedly.

"That is good news for you right?" Mum suddenly smiles at me. I gaze at her with a look irritation plastered on my face. How could she even say that? No one's death is good news. Although I get why mum does not feel bad at all. Alex was never nice to her. He called her a gold digger several times and often made mockery of her.

"Watch your tongue Clarissa!" Dad snapped at mum immediately. I heard my mum grumble words before whispering into my ear. "Do not mind your father, it means you can finally marry out of love and not spend the rest of your life paying a huge debt caused by your father." Mum says.

I nod my head, unsure of what to say to her.

"I am going to see the doctor. I think you are set to go home." Dad said, without wasting anymore time. He turned around and walked out of the room. I released a heavy sigh and ran a hand through my hair. Alex was dead? Just like that, he was going to cease to exist in the life of everyone else.

A few minutes later, Dad walked back into the room and ordered mum and I to leave the room and meet him outside of the hospital, in the parking lot.

Mum turned to me with a small smile on her face. "It's Davis calling, he wants to know how you are doing." She paused to point at her phone which is currently vibrating. I signed heavily, the last thing I wanted to do was talk to anyone, not even Davis.

"Can you talk to him instead? Let him know I am doing okay." I said in a low tone barely above a a whisper. Mum nodded her head at me and excused herself out of the room. I slowly began to pack a few of my things when I suddenly heard a loud yell echo in the hallways.

I hastily rushed out of my room and I was shocked to see Emma standing in the hallways with tears in her eyes. Our eyes met and i watched an angry look grow on her face.

"You killed him! I know you killed him you fucking loser!" Emma spat at me bitterly.

My whole heart shattered into pieces. The tears i had been trying to fight all these while finally began to flow down my cheeks. How could my own best friend say such a thing? She tried to lash out at me but the nurses around hastily held her.

They escorted her out of the hospital but I knew that was not the end, Emma would be back for a round two.

Mum came to me and I could not even tell her about the stunt Emma had just pulled. We made our back home and for the next few days, I and parents lived together in silence until one day when Dad summouned for me.

I stood a few feets away from him and watched him talk. "I talked to Alex's grandfather. He is still on about the contract marriage.

"What! Alex's dead, what does he expect me to do?" I snapped at him with wide eyes.

"He wants you to marry his other son, Stephen McCall."

    Varda's POVEveyone? What the hell did my mother mean by everyone? What was she talking about? "Mum..." Just as I was about to confront her, she pushed the front door open and rushed into the living room. "Everyone, Varda is home!" I could hear her voice echo from inside. I muttered a cuss under my breath. Who else did my parents invite over to the house? What the hell was actually going on? I needed to speak to Stephen urgently, what was his plan? Why was he always one step ahead of me? It was like he could predict my every move and my goodness, it was so annoying. I could not even tell what he was up to this time. Why had he told them about my plan to come home? What else was in store for me? I sighed heavily in frustration, there was only one way to find out.I stepped into the living room and just as i had expected, there were a crowd of people in the living room. Balloons were hung around, as a matter of fact there was so much decoration for something that was as basic as me co

  • My obsessive brother in-law   Chapter sixty five

I felt so free, it was the air was different from the one in the mansion. Here felt better, it made me feel more alive than ever. Seeing people going back and forth, people living their normal lives made me feel happy. It made me feel like for once in my life, I was not the main character of the story, I was not the centre of attraction, I could blend in.As the car to my home drew closer, I could feel my heartbeat rise extremely fast, my palms were sweaty and i felt anxiety overwhelm me.My parents had no idea that I was coming back home, I could not help but wonder what their reaction would be like. Would they be happy to see me? Disappointed? Would they even be home? Did they still even stay at the house? What if they had moved or something? I started to feel really stupid for coming home, I should have probably just rented an hotel for

    Varda's POV I spent a few more minutes thinking about everything and everyone. Well mostly about Elisa, my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by one of Stephen's bodyguards who reminded me that the driver was waiting outside of the mansion for me.I hastily showered and changed into clean clothes. Afterwards, I grabbed my backpacks and stepped out of the room.The hallways were crowded with maids and I could feel their eyes on me. I bet they were dying to know what was going on, I could see the written all over their faces, they made it so obvious, even with the whispering noises.I adjusted the straps of my backpack tight, my eyes scanned through the hallways, searching for a glimpse of Stephen but there was no sight of him. I hoped to at least see him before leaving, for reasons not even I could explain. It felt like I was just badly yearning for his presence.I shrugged off the though as I stepped out of the mansion. Speak of the actual devil, Stephen was standing close to a blac

    Varda's POVElisa walked towards my bed with a poker face, her eyes roam the room as if searching for something. Her eyes eventually settle on the small space in the my backpack where I had stuffed the piece of paper Celine gave me earlier."You probably want to keep that well so you do not lose it." Elisa pointed at the paper. I hastily clutched the backpack tight because I felt uncomfortable knowing that Elisa had her eyes on it. Did that mean she heard all of my conversation with Celine? Well, there was nothing she could do to me, I was leaving the mansion today and not even her could stop me. I was just a little bit worried about Celine because I was afraid she would get bullied by Elisa for helping me. I just hoped in my heart that Stephen would watch over her just like I had instructed him to. Plus I believed he would because he offered to help with her daughter's hospital bills. I was slowly beginning to trust Stephen regardless of the fact that I knew it was dangerous. Stephe

    Varda's POVToday was finally the day I looked forward to. The day that I would be stepping out of this mansion. It felt like a dream to be honest, I never saw this coming, I was still skeptical about leaving the mansion because I was afraid that Stephen would change his mind. Or maybe I was afraid of leaving the mansion and coming back to find it in ruins. I was not even sure what reason as to why Stephen had granted my request to leave the mansion, that was enough reason to leave me anxious, plus the whole fight Fransisca made things worse.She was going to leave the mansion too and I was going to return back as Asher's mother, the thought of that alone sent chills down my spine but there was nothing I could do to convince Stephen to change his mind, not even Elisa could success in doing that, talk less of me.I understood where Stephen's concern was obviously coming from but it still felt like a lot of weight on me. I had barely even taken care of myself enough, then Asher? I still

    Varda's POV"I have a list of places in mind. Florence is a tough girl, tougher than she looks. There are a lot of places she could be at but I will do my best to gather more information from the maids and with that, I could make a list for you to tonight since you are leaving the mansion tomorrow." Celine explained. I released a heavy sigh of relief and pulled Celine into a tight hug, taking her off guard. "You are the best Celine, thank you so so much." I said squeezing myself into her arms. Celine only chuckled in response but sooner than later, our hug was interrupted with a familiar voice."I see you two are getting along very well." Elisa's voice rang out loud. Celine and i broke free from our hug hastily and while Celine kept quiet, I rose up to speak. "Celine was just keeping me company, do you have a problem with that?" I snapped at her."Celine, do you not have work to do or is keeping Varda company going to pay you?" Elisa snapped at Celine a harsh tone.I scoffed at Elisa
