If there was anything I could change right now I’ll right to turn back the time to when Victor’s mom had asked me to stay away from her son. I would love to tell her no. I would want to tell her that it hurt so much haven’t to pretend that I wasn’t in love with Victor. I love him so much.Hearing him confess all of that to me in there was so sad. I knew and I was convinced that he hasn’t done any of that to any woman before but what can I do? My hands are tied. Right now, I wish we weren’t two worlds apart. I wish we were equals but it's just like that___ wishes. And wishes are like stars which can never fall.“When will you learn, Valerie?”The voice brought me out of my thoughts as I turned to the door. I was inside the female washroom where I had sat down to cry my

Two Weeks Later“So, what are your plans now?” Gia asked me as we were seated on our bed in the maids’’’ quarter. It was during her lunch break. Lisa and Audrey were the one who replaced her.“Honestly, I don’t know anymore” I replied with a shrug as I turned to look out of the window “Sometimes, I feel like leaving the house but I still haven’t completed Mrs Thompson’s mission”Gia sipped her coffee while looking at me with bewilderment “What?” I asked her, surprised she was looking at me that way.“I’m just surprised at how you want to stay to fulfil Mrs Thompson heartfelt desire when she doesn’t even care if you exist or not”“It is

“How is she, doctor?” I heard whispers around me as I struggled to open my eyes. It was like something heavy was obstructing my view. My throat aches from thirst and my back hurts like I’ve been run over by a truck. I wanted to stand up and move around but my limbs felt so weak. This doesn't look like my body.“She’s going to be better. The anaesthesia should be wearing now, she should be up in an hour or so” Another voice was saying. I opened my mouth to ask where I was but no words could come out. I tried to move my head to the right as soon as I felt a hand grasp my weak hands but my head felt so heavy. What was wrong with me? Was I dead? Is this how it felt like?I squinted my eyes as sudden bright light peels through the room causing me to frown. Was I in heaven? Will I be able to see my parents?“The room should be ventilated. She needs air and natural oxygen" The same man was saying again. I listen as I watch his footsteps receding from the room. Was he leaving? Who was he and

“No” I repeated, ignoring the gasps my words had earned as I stepped fully into the room.I can't believe Valerie gets to enjoy everything. This wasn't the kind of revenge I had in mind for her. I don't want revenge in which she gets to find love and happiness again. I want her to suffer forever.“What are you doing, Tianna?” Mom rushed to my side as she whispered to me. She tried to drag me from Lavelle who had stood up and was now looking at me with a murderous look in his eyes.“What are you trying to do? Lavelle had everything under control “She repeated just in case I hadn't heard her words earlier.“Control my foot” I spat on the ground as I turned to my mom who was frowning at me. Why can't they see it? This wasn't L

“Get me Valerie” I heard Mrs. Thompson said to Gia as I descended the stairs and came into the parlour. I watched Gia nodded and rushed out of the room.I took a seat and picked up the tea Audrey had placed before me. I blew into it to reduce its hotness with my legs crossed, I began to sip it ignoring Mrs. Thompson.Ever since that episode at the restaurant two days ago. She had been avoiding me. It’s like she was having second thoughts of asking me to marry her son. Was she regretting her actions? Does she now think that Valerie is the right person for Victor? Is that why she sent for her?I won't allow her to take my dream from me. I dropped the teacup back onto the saucer and straightened my pine. I won't give up without a fight.“Ma’am!
