Chapter Twenty One

Varda's POVAfter my conversation with Elisa, for some weird reason I felt angry throughout the rest of the day. Maybe it was not Elisa that fueled my anger, it was the fact that Stephen had not given me a well detailed explanation on his relationship with Fransisca and Asher, it was like he just expected me to welcome and accept them with warm hugs. Some few minutes ago, I saw Stephen and Asher in the courtyard playing basketball, the happiness on Stephen's face was something I could not give him. So then this same question clicked to me again. Why was I here? What was my purpose being here? Why was he keeping me if he could be so happy around Asher and Fransisca? Why was he holding me captive like I added some sort of value to his life? I hated the way I felt but Stephen made me feel that way, rather inferior.I was sitting alone in the garden while staring at the dark clouds, I was lost in my thoughts until I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder. I was startled for a brief moment until

Chapter Twenty Two

Varda's POV"I will answer every of your questions honestly Varda, you have my word." Stephen placed his hand on his chest and spoke with a serious look on his face. Without wasting anymore time, I hastily threw the most important question at him. "Why am I here? I know you do not have feelings for me, neither do you need me because it is not like I have some hidden inheritance somewhere, my parents are not the wealthiest people in the world so I need you to answer this question honestly, why do you need me?" I asked. Stephen sighed heavily, he raised his hands in mock surrender and i already knew the kind of reply he was about to give me. "I am sorry Varda, I can be honest about everything else but that."I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him. "You made a promise." I pointed out. "That is why I am apologizing for not being able to fulfill that promise, I can answer every other question but that one. This is not the right time to tell you why you are here but I can promise you that I wi

Chapter Twenty Three

Varda's POV"What do you think my relationship with Alex was like?" Stephen asked, he paused to choke out a hysteric laughter and raised a brow at me. I shrugged in response. "How would I know that? I and Alex dated for years but I never for once saw you at the mansion, I never even knew Alex had a brother until his death so I am just wondering where you have been all these years and why you chose to leave?" I asked. Stephen sighed in response, he settled back on the bench and rubbed his palms together. "It is more complicated than you think and I am not sure I want to talk about it." Stephen muttered.I scoffed in disbelief at him and shook my head in disdain. "Do you realize that you have done nothing but waste my time? You have not answered any of the questions honestly and not to mention, all you did was just make a joke out of everything when this is actually a very serious matter." I snapped at him. I suddenly felt anger rise in me and it was because Stephen had chosen not to gi

Chapter Twenty Four

Varda's POVI laid comfortably on the bed with my eyes fixated on the roof, I kept thinking about all of what Stephen had said to me earlier and from the look of things, Stephen and Alex had a really shitty past. I mean I could not exactly pinpoint what had happened to them and what they had been through but one thing I was confident for sure was that they had to survive the hard way. Stephen made it seem even more serious and I was afraid about that. I just badly wanted answers, I knew he had told me to stay away but I was not going to. If he could investigate on his own, then I had the right to investigate too. After all we were both related to Alex in our own diverse ways. First, I was going to see Florence tomorrow morning and make her steal the keys to Alex room but before then, I would have to make sure that neither Stephen or Elisa would be around for that to happen because they would immediately find it suspicious and most likely kick Florence out of the mansion. As for Elisa

Chapter Twenty Five

Varda's POVA deal? To help me with Alex's investigation? I could not help but choke out a hysteric laughter. I clutched my stomach tight and bursted into series of laughter. I laughed so hard that my stomach began to hurt. Her words were surprisingly too funny for me to handle. "Thank you so much for the good laugh tonight Fransisca, I really did need it. You can leave now." I pointed at the door once my laughter had eventually subsided. Fransisca scoffed at me, she had an ireitated look plastered on her face as she spoke. "What is so funny to you?" She snapped at me. I shrugged in response. "Just the thought of you, you Fransisca, helping me with Alex's investigation, very funny." I said with a very dramatic applaud for her.Fransisca rolled her eyes at me. "I said it was a deal so I am not exactly helping you without receiving something from my own end." Fransisca pointed out. I slowly nodded my head at her, that was true though. She was going to need something from me in return. I

Chapter Twenty Six

Varda's POVStealing Alex's keys sounded like a lot of work to do but Fransisca seemed competent enough for the job. She looked determined about it and I was a hundred percent sure that she would actually steal the keys if she wanted to. No offense to her but it felt like she had done some things like that in the past, this was definetly piece of cake to her. I gulped a lump down my throat as I thought of the tempting offer. Making a deal with Fransisca was like making a deal with the devil though, the outcome would be definetly successful but there could be consequences of my actions and hers too. I sighed heavily. "Give me time." I eventually blurted out. Fransisca gazed at me with a raised brow. "Really? You are going to think about such a beautiful offer like that? Are you kidding me now?" Fransisca choked out a hysteric laughter. There was something about the deal that was really suspicious. It was the fact that Fransisca was trying so hard to shove it down my throat no matter

Chapter Twenty Seven

Varda's POVLast night, I could not stop thinking about Stephen. Not even for once did my mind ever rest. Stephen kept popping in my mind and even worser in my dreams. I knew exactly what that meant but I wanted to deny the fact that I somehow had feelings for Stephen, I mean why would I do that? It felt like betrayal to be honest. Although Alex may have not been the best fiance in the world but one thing I was confident about was that he did not deserve this, not even the cruelest person in the world did. Plus this was not the life I wanted to live for myself, I never imagined a life as a prisoner or should I say wife to my own brother in law whom I knew absolutely nothing about. Worse of it all was that Stephen was an excellent liar, his words were never true, he loved twisting his words and making it seem like he was telling the truth when all of that was just a big fat lie. I sighed heavily and rubbed the back of my neck in frustration. Even with all of Stephen's dirty and annoyi

Chapter Twenty Eight

Varda's POV"Varda, look at me." Elisa's gentle tone caused me to break down into sobs. I was not sure exactly what was wrong with me or why I was feeling extra emotional but one thing I knew for sure was that I just wanted to cry in someone's arms. My heart felt heavy and I was sure it was because I had been going through so much ever since I got here, although I had been bottling it up all these while and that was the real reason why everything had suddenly poured out like a river now. I could no longer take it, even if I wanted to. My heart had taken too much, it was too much for just me to hold in but the reason why I had been holding it up was because I had no one else to talk to, I had no one to share my feelings with. "Oh goodness dear." Elisa rushed towards me. I turned to gaze at her with tears rolling down my cheeks. "Oh my goodness, I do not know why I can not stop crying Elisa." I said amidst my tears. I badly wanted to stop myself from crying but it was so difficult for

Chapter Twenty Nine

Varda's POVWhat important thing did Stephen have to say? Also, why was I feeling anxious over that? I was afraid that perhaps he was going to scold me in front of Asher and his lovely wife, Fransisca. Maybe he had picked offense in our conversation yesterday and he wanted to address it? My goodness i was so afraid that I wished the earth would just open up and swallow me right now. I could not really explain how I was feeling, however it was not a good feeling at all. I turned to Elisa and cleared my throat. "Do you maybe have a clue on what he wants to talk about? Does it have something to do with me?" I asked. Hopefully Elisa would maybe be able to brief me on what Stephen had to say so that I would not be shocked by what he would have to say. I raised a brow at Elisa and she just sighed heavily at me and responded in her usual gentle tone. "This is why i did not want to tell you anyhing Varda, I just wanted to stylishly convince you to join them for breakfast." Elisa explained.I

Chapter Thirty

Varda's POV"We are here! I have her here with me." I was surprised when Fransisca suddenly clinged to my arm and yelled loudly. Everyone in the dining, when I meant everyone, I meant Stephen, Asher and Elisa, they all turned to gaze at the both of us. Elisa had a small smile on her face, I could tell it was fake though, Asher seemed excited too but Stephen just had his usual poker face on. I struggled to pull away from Fransisca's grip but it was just too firm for me. I shot dagger glares at her too but she pretended not to care. Damn, she was so good at the pretence."What took you so long?" Stephen eventually spoke up, he snapped at me with a raised brow. I cleared my throat and thought of the right response to give him because i could not exactly tell him that I was spending my time feeling anxious about having breakfast with him and Fransisca. I thought of a perfect lie to tell him, that I was having a stomach upset but all of a sudden, Fransisca beat me to talking, she choked o
