Chapter 10

Ecca:

Being drunk:

Ecca!

Ecca!!

Ecca!!!

Open the damn door you leach I could hear her loud outburst.

“it must be Rita”why the hell does she want?Must she also disturb me in my dream?must she always showcase her bad attitude everywhere?.Her nonchalant attitude and way of speaking it's getting out of hand.What really does she want to the extent of disturbing me in my dreams too?”I grumbled, twitching my face and rolling on the bed,I sleepily opened my eyes and realized that it wasn't a dream.Someone was really knocking on the door.

“Am going to break this damn door,if you don't open it in the next minute”she shouted on a high pitch ,tapping her feet on the bare tiles tirelessly.

She was Marko's sister, one of the devils that always humiliates me with any opportunity she gets.

“Ooooh my Goodness” I mumbled, bouncing on my feet forgetting how heavy I drank some hours ago which cost me to lose control of my posture thereby staggering backwards.

“Are you insane Ecca?” Is this your new way of displaying how useless and careless you are.Rita kept screaming in a high voice banging on the door and tapping the ground aggressively.There was venom in her voice.

The room spun and my head pounded like a drumline..I vividly remember what took place that made me drink,the humiliation from Ophelia,the noodles given to me, and the unreal laughter just flowing with the moment.

Rita was still knocking as I sluggishly staggered forward, trying to walk over to the door. A wave of nausea washed over.I was really gonna have a hungover I mumbled,which is usually terrible for me.

I staggered to the bathroom, flipping the lights on,I bent down on the water closet and vomited everything entirely.

My body aches,my mouth felt dry and my head throbbing.I slowly made my way to the door, twisted the key on the knob and unlocked it. Rita didn't hesitate to open the door and she kicked it, making the door hit me on the mouth.My lips split open and blood gushed out from my mouth, making my cloth to be stained with blood.

“Ahhhhhh” I whined, holding my lips.

“Wow!! You have finally shown one of your useless behaviors. She spat out as she saw the bottle of wine on the ground”.“Drinking again”later you will go out to look for any useless man that you will open your legs for and blame it on the alcohol,"Shameless fool”!!, my brother's ex harlot wife.she was running her mouth, raining insults on me.

“Rita” I called, not paying attention to the blood that was coming out from my mouth unhurriedly.

“Ehhhhhh!!! Ecca, don't you dare call my name with that stinking mouth of yours,Who the hell do you think you are?You ungrateful pupper!!!Shameless cheater”she fired back, closing up towards me and I staggered backwards with the intention to avoid her troubles.

“Rita please”……….

“Are you deaf I just said you shouldn't call my name with your horrible mouth”she grumbled spitting on my face,her gaze darted over me up and down and she closed it and opened it looking a bit calm.

“Guess what,I am just going to do you a favour,I won't be reporting your mannerless attitude to my brother or his beautiful wife.I will just turn a blind eye to your misbehave few minutes ago,but am giving you a strict warning,let this rubbish not repeat itself again.

I breathed a sigh of relief, as I turned to clear the mess I created. “Go to the kitchen and prepare something tangible for me to eat”,you have thirty minutes to do that,she instructed and start working out of the room.

“Rita please waiiiiiiiitttttt…… "I stuttered".

I don't think I can do the cooking,my body aches and I can barely walk very well. The chef is in the kitchen please let me inform her to do the cooking. Moreover it's her job, mine it's to clean.my voice was calm but raspy.My breath grew heavy and hot, praying inwardly for her not to object.

“And why should I agree to what you said” screaming out loud to me.A cleaner and a chief it's still the same thing,you are still a servant working in my brother's house (your ex husband). Heavily enhancing on my former relationship with his brother in a mocking voice just to get me jealous.

I swallowed hard,I just didn't want to barter words with her.Because she already promised not to report to the couple.

Rita smirked,folding her hands and closing up on me. “You are just a lesser privilege,that was given a golden opportunity to work here but you decide to be lazy around, And your so called bastard son that you want to hang on to my brother.she said.

I was moved when she involved my son, like how did she know his existence and the circumstances around.But I was fueled with rage when he called him a bastard.

“Don't you dare call my son a bastard!!!.

“What the hell is wrong with you?.

“Why are you calling my son a bastard”?

“Have I wronged you before that you abhor this kind of hatred for me"?

“You are always quick in judging others,what about you that sleeps with political men,men that are old enough to be your father”

“If you have any issues with me please don't involve my precious son in this”. I growled at her face with the little strength I had left forgetting I wasn't feeling too well.

Rita marvelled at my retaliation as she was forced to tilt her head backwards as she glanced at me in shock. The last thing she expected was for me to take back at her.

She paused her lips,and forced out a smile. “Please repeat yourself again Ecca” I was still trying to give her a response,the next thing she did was slapping me hard on the face,thereby causing my face to tilt to the other side.

“How dare you!!?.

Are you mad?.she muttered in between gritted teeth with her eyes blazing with fury,her jaw clenching and her fits were balled at her side.

My hands went to the spot she slapped me which was already red in colour as a stinging sensation travelled all over my body.

I let out a small sad smile, however before I could open my mouth to talk,she crumpled on the floor and let out a loud cry “Ecca”!! She winced and the same thing the door opened and Markos dashed in.

I need not be told before I realize that I have been set up by Rita.
