JODI's P o V~~~    With my  mind still preoccupied with my earlier thoughts, I drove my car to the office and half absentmindedly, I made my way to my mom's working place. It was clear for all eyes to see that I was too distracted because by the time I realized what I am doing, I was already halfway to the staircase. Thus I decided to just used this opportunity to clear my thoughts instead. I was planning of  using stairs instead of hopping at  the elevator. "Hello. I just called to check how was my tip progressing on your end."  I was not completely myself when I waltz inside my mom's office. But the moment I heard her voice speaking to someone over the phone, I was alarmed and almost in instant, my senses was pulled back to present. Cautiously, I approached her from beh

 MATHILDE's P o V~~~~     "Your dad was the first born of the Nordstorme family and not Shantal's." I found the need to remind Jodi of that one irrefutable fact, lest her brain already tricked her into forgetting about it over time. To begin with, it was for that same reason why I did all I could to approach and seduce her father. To the point where I even went to the extent of getting my hands dirty by erasing the previous lady of the house out of the picture. Since my plan was to take over her spot and be the next Mrs. Norstorme. Winston was said to be the much awaited male offspring of the main Nordstorme household and was only second to his late dad to carry the family name. He was like a third generation son of some sort and so naturally he should be the true heir of all the ch

MATHILDE's P o V~~~~    It was already too late when I found out that the old hag knew something. Initially, he thought that Winston was in cahoots with me that was why he never trusted him as well. It turned out that he assumed that his son did not die of natural causes and he strongly believed that someone was behind it and his bet was that it was Wilson who did it. Well sadly for him, his suspicion was all over the places. He was barking at the wrong tree because we did not  have anything to do with that death. But when Christopher conveniently died just a year after her father, the wise old man was definitely convinced that something was amiss. At the same time, this incident also further cemented his initial intuition that it was all Wilson's doing since he was basically the first person who would benefit the most out from those deaths.  Thus, jus

JODI's P o V ~~~~         I could see that my mom was deeply perplexed after hearing my thought and with an upturned eyebrow, she asked me a question.   "Huh? What are you saying?"   She furrowed her eyebrows and deep folds of skin started to appear on her forehead as soon as she did that. Meanwhile, it took me a while before I was able to form another statement again. To be honest this was not easy for me. I found it hard to express my thoughts well because I was trying to come up with the right words to say. I knew that whatever I would say next, as long as I shared a different opinion from her, would end up hurting her one way or another. But as much as I could, I wanted my words to bring her pain in the least possible way. I inhaled deeply and exhaled loudly and when I t

JODI's P o V~~~~    "If you really loved me, then you would stop doing this. You are ruining me and my life as well as the only chance that I got to reconcile with the closest relative that I have left with me."  I could definitely hear a slight tremble on my voice while I was saying those words. But it was a good thing that I was able prepare myself to this kind of confrontation prior to coming over to my mom's office; otherwise it would be a question if I could even stand my ground until the end. "So let me tell you this, and I hope that my words would register clearly on your head. Let. Me Go." I was well aware that severing ties with my mom this way was not ideal. In fact, I believed that if spouting such words could not be called insolence to some degree, I no longer knew  what els
