~MARA~

"Madam! Your Stepmother and your sister are here!"

"Madam!! Your Stepmother and your sister are here!!"

"Madam!!! Your Stepmother and your sister are here!!!"

I heard the butler's voice call through my peaceful sleep and I yawned. 

Yesterday was so stressful that I don't remember everything that happened. Ethan is nowhere to be found which means he'd left for work already.

Trying to wipe my face, I caught the sticky note stuck to my cheek, saying "HELLO SLEEPING BEAUTY, I HAVE IMPORTANT CLIENTS TODAY I WILL COME BACK LATE. DON'T WAIT UP FOR ME HAVE YOUR BREAKFAST ANS DINNER WITHOUT ME"

Ohh that's it?. Hearing that my stepmom is here is no good news, but I have to go and face her regardless.

Getting to the verandah before the bedroom, i.saw er downstairs waiting for me with her daughter, my stepsister — Maya. 

I chuckled darkly, and descended the stairs with Ethan's name on my lips. "Hubby, hubby, where are you?" I cooed, trying to show off. 

"Young master left early today" the Butler bowed as he reported to me. 

Still showing off to the two wicked creatures standing before me, I yawned, "Oh I think I heard him say he's leaving from my sleep"

I was now standing before them with arrogance, "Hi, what brings you two here?" 

My stepmother was the first to hiss, ,Great job showing off as the billionaire's wife"

"Oh, should I have be the one cleaning the floor?" I question with a raised eyebrows making her more petrified. 

It's really fun seeing her like this because I'm not leaving the life she expected me to be living — a pathetic life of being an imbecile's wife. 

"Have you lost your senses now that you are married to a rich family? She asked angrily.

I yawned lazily, "Are you sure you haven't lost yours on your way here?" 

"Say whatever you want or even show off however you like but I came to tell your that the old hag Nanny I'd yours is sick" She confessed slumping into the sofa with a heavy thud.

Mrs Smith is my Nanny, she was the one that cared for me since I was a child. She was hired by my father. We both lived at the boy's quarter at the backyard I love her as if she was my mother, whenever I came home late, she always scold me and give me food, she took care of my clothings and others I don't go to a rich kids school like Maya but she took care of my education.

My eyes flew open and I clutched her dres, "What happened to Nanny?" 

Mrs Linda can now be cocky like she always does whenever she got the upper hand, "Did you want to save your Nanny or your marriage?"

"What did you mean? 

"I will take care of your Nanny's health only if you arrange for Maya to marry Ethan" she said like a devil that she was without any thinking twice. 

I smirked trying to to remind him of Ethan's fake identity, "Why did you want your daughter to marry an imbecile? He is not normal Maya can't cope" 

"Then who is the handsome dude that lives here I heard that she has healed, so Maya will marry Ethan and I will save your Nanny" she said again. 

I don't want Ethan to be concerned about my personal issues, I don't want to spend his money I will try my best to save my Nanny without spending his money. They had came up with an idea that Maya will stay with us so that Ethan can develop feelings for her then I'll leave.

"She can move in only after the specialist that will treat Nanny is around because I know you don't stand by your words" I affirmed truthfully.

"Mum. See how she's bluffing" Maya complained

"Maya will be moving in tonight, I will get someone to send her luggages over by then, you will tell you Imbecile husband that you want your sister's companionship" declared my Stepmother harshly.

"No qualms, I am irresistible anyway" My stepsister said adjusting her hair.

Before the horrible woman left, she said "Mara you know letting your Nanny suffer during nursing without crossing the bottom line is something very easy to do?" 

I only froze. 

"Mara you better not try anything foolish unless you want you Nanny dead" Maya seconded with a spoilt princess tone that made me wanna slap her across the face. 

Thus the mother left, leaving her daughter behind to seduce my husband.

That day I i didn't go anywhere since Maya is at home and Ethan might come back at anytime.

That night he didn't came back...he only called 

"Wifey, sleep early I will be worth overnight today I will come back for dinner tomorrow" 

"Why isn't he coming back home?" Maya asked after watching TV all day and her target is not around.

I didn't give her any reply but I sent a message back to Ethan that my sister is at our house but I don't tell him about the seduction plan. 

I wonder if he will come back home pretending like an imbecile or he will come back in his free self.

That day I stayed at home again untill it's time for dinner.

"Butler Wang, is Ethan not coming back home today?" I heard my sister ask. 

 "Young master said he will be coming back for dinner in the next 2 hours" 

 As Maya heard that, she ran to her room and applied different shades of makeup, I purposely don't tell her that my husband hates thick makeup. She spent up to one hour preparing and preparing for the stunning appearance I only gave her a sly smile .

She wore a V neck dress a jean bum short and a thick red lipstick. 

After 2 hours Ethan didn't show up, I purposely didn't call him, only let Maya anticipate more in frustration.

"Why haven't Ethan returned yet?" She asked restlessly, she had made an arrangement of late appearance so as to stun the man.

Later in the night, Hubby called "Wifey I am sorry still, I can't come back tonight I will be going abroad for a week" he said again

"No worries hubby, make sure you eat your dinner" I said and hung up. 

I told the butler to inform my sister that Ethan won't be coming back that night. 

When she heard she flew into a fit of rage, "will all the effort I put into dressing this beautiful go to waste?"

"He will be coming back in a week's time" the butler said again adding fire to the already burning infern. 

In contrast to her sad state, I was in a happy mood because he won't be at home, I will have time to run my business well and hang out with my pals

"If he is not coming back home what is the use for coming here then? If I had known I would have come days to come" she said angrily.

I smirked, she doesn't know anything.
