IN LOVE WITH THY ANGEL

Chapter Two

Gosh! he is so handsome I wish I can steal a hug from him just once" Anna scream grinning, her eyes fixed on the phone screen

'This girl has really gone crazy for Jason' her sister Annette thought but who is not crazy for Jason Smith, he is handsome and rich... probably every girls dream

"Stop dreaming Anna, Jason can never be yours, remember Miriam is there, he is hers... she is betrothed to him to be precise" Annette said and Anna's smile disappear at once

"I hate that Miriam! How sure are we that she is dating Jason, I mean they are not even always together, who knows... she might be the one forcing her self on him pretending that she is betrothed to him" she pout. Annette chuckle

"Anna you know that Miriam never spare any one that tries to flirt with Jason she is dangerous, you better get Jason off your mind, there is no way it will work" Annette said

"That's more of a reason I so much hate her, trying to get Jason all to her self acting as if she is the queen of Western villes and superior to others" she snap and threw her phone on the bed dashing into the bathroom. Annette chuckle, her twin can be crazy sometimes, she wonders when she will stop being crazy for Jason

The office door swing open with a full force, a lady is seen trying to stop a man who is walking ahead of her inside the luxurious office room, the man is proving stubborn and hard to handle, he refuses to listen to her

"Am sorry ma, I tried stopping him but..."

"Is okay Janice, you can leave now... I will take it from here" Louise cuts off the young lady's speech

"Okay ma'am" Janice replied politely before walking out from the office. The little brightness which was on Louise's face when Janice was still in the office disappeared at once clouded with anger

She turns to face the man who might be in his early forties, she is trying to act cool by subsiding the anger burning inside of her... how she hates seeing his face!

"I can see you are already living good Louise" the man said scrutinizing the ineffable office room

"You are really smart" he add and face Louise who twist her fist in anger trying to control the anger inside of her

Why the heck did he came back after one year, she thought she has settled him and he is gone for good

"What are you doing here Hugo!" she gravels, this time she can't hold back herself anymore. Hugo scoffs and sits on the comfortable seat in front of her

"We are done already Hugo, why did you come back... did it not recall to your mind that someone might see you coming into my company and you know what that means" she snap

"Well, I want to see your beautiful face and I decide to visit... did I do something wrong" he says annoyingly. Louise scoff and roll her eyes

"Stop acting this way Hugo, it might get us into trouble... why did you come back, I thought we have settled everything" Louise grime

"Put that girl back in school" his voice was serious this time

"Hugo" she squeal furiously, she can't believe he came back to frustrate her life, after thinking he was gone for good

"And that will be the same school you kids attend" he add. This time Louise face is burning in anger as it is pure red. She hates him so much, why the heck is she stranded with him!

"Why are you doing this Hugo, I owe you nothing, so why are you still meddling in my life" she sputter. He sniggers

"I give you two days to put her back in school, you are free to treat her bad, turning her into you maid but dropping her from school... is what I won't allow so put her back in school or...." he voice out, seriousness clear in his tone

"Are you threatening me" Louise stutters, this is why she hates him... using her weakness against her

"Of course not Louise, I will never do that but I can't handle your wickedness on that girl anymore... It is too much Louise, it is just too much"

"Don't you dare me lecture me Hugo, you are no better than me" Louise grimace. He snickers and stands up from his seat

"Just do as I say Louise, put that girl back to school" he add before striding out

"Ahhh!" Louise squeak in anger and scatter the items on her desk not minding breaking the new laptop she got last week. She stare blazingly at the closed door, clenching her fist so tight

***

"Let me make dinner Violet, you have done much work today... you need to rest" Gina, the maid said. She is the only good maid in this mansion who still give me the respect I deserves as dad's daughter

Gina is in her late thirties, she is kind-hearted and very simple lady with no problem, I can say she is the only friend I have not only in this house but anywhere else

"No, Gina I can do it, am almost done" I replied adding the slice onion, I really appreciate her kindness

"Everything will get back to normal Violet, just have that in mind cos am sure of it" she says calmly, I pause with what am doing and stare up at her with an emotional eyes, I got into that state so quickly maybe it is due to the tune of her voice, she nods in affirmation with a warm smile and gently brush my hair with her fingers smoothly

"I will go attend to other things" she said before leaving the kitchen. I felt something warm on my cheek, that is when I realized I've started crying... I gently wipe them out, I really miss mum and Dad, I wonder when all these suffering of mine will end

The door fling open after some minutes that Gina left and stepmom walks in, she looks so angry and this is my first time seeing her in the kitchen after dad's death

She ignores me or will I say she didn't notice me, she walk to the refrigerator, and take a bottle of water from it, she open it and gulp down half of the content before bringing it down from her mouth, at that moment her eyes met with mine and I quickly retract it. I can feel her eyes starring daggers at me and suddenly she is near me... I freeze immediately, I so much fear this woman and I don't know why... maybe is because of what she made me pass through

"G... good evening mom" I stammers gulping down nothing

"Fool!" She yell and hit my head with the plastic bottle, that hurts, I hold my head in pain.... the word 'mom' slip off my tongue, of course I know she have warned me to stop calling her mom

"Am not your stupid mother!" she add

Before I could comprehend what was happening she is already hitting me but the hitting is haphazardly, she is behaving like someone who is drunk

"I hate you! You are disgusting! I wish you join your stupid late mother!" That is what she keeps saying while hitting me

She stops at a moment and staggers backward, she stare hard on me with so much hatred and storm out from the kitchen

I slump on the floor weeping bitterly... why did she hates me so much. I've always loved her and seen her as a mother ever since dad married her... I wish she will spare even a little love for me

I hate my life, I hate mum and dad for leaving me alone in this bitter world, I will never forgive them for that

I wish that God will send me a helper who can help me through all these sufferings... am already getting tired of it

The next day....

I sluggishly walk into the kitchen, that's where I always spend most of my time, working ofcourse

I cried to bed last night, I know that stepmom hates me but she saying it to my face last night was so hurtful... I hope she will turn to love me one day

I reach to the sink, I wasn't able to wash the plates last night, I was totally down after what happened but surprisingly the scuzzy plates I left to wash was not there anymore, they were already washed and set in their position

I rub my eyes to know if am dreaming or hallucinating but actually I'm not... this is reality

"What the heck happened here, Annette and Anna can never do this, not ever in their life and those rude and lazy maids can't wash it either.... Gina might be the one" I said trying to convince my self, am sure she is the one cos I can't think of anyone else

I'm seriously happy that the plates are washed, at least one burden lifted... I can't thank Gina enough

I amble towards my room, I need to arrange it, it is greatly unkempt, I never got the chance to tidy it up yesterday

I was flabbergasted immediately I step foot into my room. this is strange, I left this room untidy this morning to the kitchen.... I wanted to wash the plates first before returning to arrange the room

"Gina can't possibly do this, this is strange" I said rubbing my eyes

The room is squeaky clean, everything in its rightful position.

This can't be, am I hallucinating or this are my imagination

I remember vividly that I never cleaned this room before going to the kitchen, something is fishy somewhere

"Those plate ...Gina might not be the one that wash it" I mutter, my mouth trembling

"Ghost.... thats not possible, ghost don't exist they are just mere fiction" I said smiling faintly trying to get that stupid thought off me

I was becoming scared already but trying hard to be strong

"Maybe I cleaned the room without knowing I did" I mumble but that's hard to believe

***

She stood beside her room window viewing the unpleasant atmosphere and deep in thought

Hugo is quite serious with what he said, If she don't get Violet into school he might do something stupid

But still, she can't enroll Violet in the same school with her daughters ... It is just unbelievable and difficult for her to do

Annette and Anna will possibly get angry once they hear of it

How can she enroll that girl into a big and Influential school, she can't do it!

"Damn it!" She squeak and hit her hands on the widow ledge. Hugo is getting on her nerves, she so much hate him and hope he will just disappear from her life

She flinch slightly at the ringing of her phone, it came unexpected and jolted her from her deep thought, she walk to the mini size table where she dropped it

Its an unknown number, she hesitate before picking it

"Hello" she sound through the phone

"How are you doing Louise" a male voice replied from the phone. Louise twist her fist in anger recognising the owner at once

"Why calling with a private number Hugo?" She ask sarcastically, forgetting that she blocked his number from her phone

"I believe you know the reason, so why asking... Let me go straight to the point, I call to remind you of our deal" he said with the most annoying tone, Louise knows where he is driving at and that got her more furious

"Put that girl in school Louise, you are testing my patience" he add and end the call

"Bastard!" Louise shriek and clash her phone in anger, her heart rising and falling in anger

"Such an i***t, I hate him, he has won... How dares he control my life!" She add and try calming down

She pick up her other phone after a while when she has quenched her anger and call the school principal to grant Violet admission, he did it without hesitation. This is making her to hate that girl the more

MORNING........

I woke up the next morning, what happened yesterday is still a mystery to me, I just can't read meaning into it... It was so strange

I brush my teeth and change into casual ambling towards the kitchen

I felt a bit tired but I need to prepare breakfast before those devils wakes up

Those lazy maids has not even arrive to work, they don't spend the night here and will not even bother to come early to work

As I walk into the kitchen my eyes caught something that astonished me, no am beyond astonishment

Pots are arranged in parallels with different dishes in them, each pot containing the favorite food of each person, me, stepmom, Annette and Anna

I wide my eyes stupefied, my hands are already trembling as I try closing the pots, none of the maids has come to work, not even Gina... so how did this happened. I wanted to scream out in fear but controls my self

Step mum will cut off my head if I disturb her sleep, Annette and Anna won't spare me either

But frankly speaking, this is becoming more scary. "Who the heck is doing this!" I squeak in my head

No... is not a ghost, it can never be a ghost... I don't believe in ghosts and they don't exist at all.
