THE PLAN

The Plan (Chapter Five)

Nora's POV:

"Hell no Mom, she is not coming" I yelled out.

"You're joking girl, she's coming and that's final!" my mom yelled back.

My name is Nora George. I'm the second child of my parents. We came back to the country a few days ago after so many years. I'm really happy to be back. I just bagged my master's degree in medicine, I'm a certified medical doctor. My dad is very proud of me and he never ceases to sing praises of me. He says I'm nothing like my estranged sister. She is a total disappointment and a disgrace to our family.

My mom has invited her to the family dinner against my wish. I don't want her to come, my boyfriend is coming over for dinner. He might think I came from an irresponsible family when he sees her. My boyfriend is a man of opulence. He came from a very wealthy and respectable background. I need to keep up to his standards.

"Mom, have already explained to you why I don't want her to come. Why can't you just understand me? I screamed in frustration and snapped my feet.

"Your explanations aren't worth it. Olivia is coming and that's final" she said and stood up walking out.

I held her hands Tight "Mom, please just try and understand my point of view" I plead

"What silly point of view?" she asked. "What silly point of view Nora?" she asked again. "Your boyfriend is coming over for the family dinner. So you don't want him to see your sister. Is that an excuse?" she asked vexed.

"Yes, Mom. I don't want him to think I came from an irresponsible family. Olivia is a disgrace and..." She didn't allow me to finish the words, she cut in angrily.

"Shut your gob, girl!" she yelled. "I don't ever want to hear that from you" she warned seriously.

"But Mom, that's the truth" I urged. "She can come to the house some other time but not to this dinner" I pleaded.

"Tell your boyfriend to come to the house some other time. Besides this is a family dinner. Family!", she stressed out.

"If only you..." I almost let the words out. If only she knew how long it took for me to convince him to come over for this dinner then she would know telling Olivia not to come is worth it. Have been pleading with him for days. I seriously want Dad to meet him. Let him see that I pulled an opulent man. I know he will be very proud of me.

"We are done with this conversation. Olivia is coming and that final" she concluded and walked out.

"I hate you, Mom!" I yelled and grunted in anger. My mom has always been a pain in my ass. Always picks on me, unlike my dad.

"How did she convince Dad about this?" I questioned. "I don't want to see that w***e in this house!" I screamed in frustration and stormed out of the sitting room.

Olivia's POV:

Fear gripped me the moment I walked into the house. I couldn't believe this was the same house I grew up in. Everything looks so different.

"Welcome ma" the maid greeted, "I will show you to the sitting room," she said and took the lead.

"Thank you," I replied following her lead.

I made sure I put on my best dress. I needed to look good. Look like nothing I have been through. At least to prove to my dad that Life hasn't been so bad for me.

"Oh my God!" Mom screamed in excitement the moment she saw me and ran to embrace me. "Welcome, home baby," she said and kissed me on my cheeks.

I couldn't withhold my emotions. Tears peak at the corner of my eyes. "Mommy" I called in gladness trying to withhold the emotions.

She dabbed my eyes "I missed you so much" she said with a warm smile and embraced me again.

"I missed you too Mom," I said and hugged her tightly.

"Come, everyone is already waiting in the dining room," she said and grabbed tightly to my arm.

"Welcome home sis" Daniel welcomed me, the moment we walked into the dining room.

"Thank you so much" I replied with a smile and gave him a tight hug. He was just seven years old when I left the house but here is a full-grown man. How time flies.

"Welcome," Nora greeted rudely and frowned.

"Thank you" I replied faintly stunned by her actions. If anyone was going to give me an attitude, I never imagined it was going to be her. What could have happened to her?

"Ignore dear," Mom said to me seeing the surprised looks on my face. "Please sit," she said and pulled a seat close to me.

"Thank you" I managed to say to her amidst the shock and sat down.

"Where is your father" Mom asked Nora, who was busy on her phone.

"I don't know, maybe his still inside his room" she answered rudely and flung her hair.

"Daniel, please go fetch him while I dish the meal," Mom said and stood up to dish the meal.

"There will be no need for that," dad replied as he walked into the dining room.

"What took you so long honey?" Mom asked.

"That's not important, I'm here already," he answered.

"Good evening Dad" I greeted and adjusted my seat. To be honest I was already feeling uncomfortable.

He gave no response, he just gazed at me and pulled the chair. "Nora ain't your boyfriend coming again? He asked and sat down.

"Yes Dad, he will be here shortly" Nora replied with a cocky smile.

"I can't wait to see my potential son-in-law," Dad said in excitement

"I know right" Nora responded with a smile.

"I think is time for us to eat," mom said even when she hadn't finished dishing the meal. I know she did that to obstruct the conversation. She knew my Dad was saying it to humiliate me.

"Oh my God!, My baby is here" Nora screamed in excitement and ran towards the young man in a white suit.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the face of the young man. Nora's boyfriend is Liam Walker.
