ISABELLA'S POV
I heard them! It was so clear! I wasn't hallucinating! So Uncle Jason is my dad! Mom and Uncle Jason has been fooling around for long! Wow
I really can't believe mom can do such a thing
(Knocks)"Honey are you there?"
"Mom?" I stood up reluctantly and opened the door
"Hi honey, what's wrong are you okay?"
"Yes am fine"
"You look gloomy, you're sure you're alright?"
"Yes I am!" I snapped at her
She flinched slightly but adjusted quickly "Maybe this is not a good time, I'll come back later...."
She turned to leave but I really needed to satisfy my curiosity so I stopped her
"Why did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"You know what am talking about mom! why did you connive with uncle to kill Aunt Michelle, she was so nice to you! You even stole her husband! You're so shameless mom!" (Smack!) She slapped me! Well I was expecting it, I sure hit a nerve...
"Don't you ever in your miserable life talk to me like that again!, everything i did... I did it for you! to give you a better life!"
"No you did not! You did it because you're so selfish and shameless mom!" She raised her hand to slap me again but she stopped abruptly "What? can't hit me? Did I hit a nerve? Oh I think I sure did, now if you would get out of my room! I need to rest!"
"Bella I am your mother! you can't talk to me like that! Jason is your father! But If you're not careful Melissa will take away all his inheritance and leave us with nothing! She will kick us out! Can't you see she's the most favored child??"
"I don't give a f!ck! get out!"
She flinched again and slowly walked out "I hope one day you'll understand that am doing all this for you" With that she went out...
I stared at the wall for a while, I didn't notice a tear fell from my eye, I quickly wiped it off and grabbed my pillow but I ended up sobbing into it uncontrollably......
*************
Catherine walked into her room and heaved heavily....
"Honey are you okay?"
"Oh my God! I didn't know you were there! when did you get in?
"I got in just now, but you were not here"
"You scared me!"
"I'm sorry, so what's wrong?"
"I was with Isabella..... I think she heard us..... she's so pissed right now, I can't even talk to her, she keeps yelling at me...."
Jason bowed his head deap in thought "I told you to keep your voice down honey, what do we do now? Because I know for sure she won't forgive me...."
"I don't know what to do.... but you can't blame me! I got so agitated! but now is not the time to shift blame is it?"
"I'll go talk to her" He stood to leave but Catherine stopped him
"No you can't go now.. it will only make matters worse , she's really pissed"
They both sat there deep in thought.......
Holden had called Melissa to prepare that he was coming to pick her to go to grandma's, She tried her best to look good while hiding her slightly visible baby bump..... She wore a cream colored simple flowing long gown with slit on the side, showing the right amount of cleavage she picked a black heels but settle for a low platform heel since that was much comfy to walk in, she simply let her long hair down while Anna helped her with a simple makeup after much persuasion, She finished just in time .
Holden drove straight in and knocked softly
"Come in" Anna said
He walked in while Anna offered her a sit
"Here sit, She'll be out in few minutes "
"Okay thanks"
HOLDEN'S POV
She walked in in a long gown with her thighs slightly revealing, and her cleavage..... Damn! I stared at her chest shamelessly..... "Hmn hmn" she cleared her throat jolting me back to reality
"Urm hi, you good?"
"Yeah.... how do I look?" She said doing the spinning dancing thingy, I really wanted to hold her and pull her closer .....
"You look so...... gorgeous" She pouted and smiled broadly then I offered her my hand "Can we go now?"
"Yeah sure.." she took my hands and waved her friend bye.......
The ride was silent.... too silent.... I didn't like it, the look on her face shows she's really nervous so I held her hand....
MELISSA'S POV
The ride down to his grandma's was so silent, he didn't say anything..just focused on driving.
Thinking back on what happened back at home...., I smiled slightly but quickly comported myself .......
I looked down at my belly, what if his grandma didn't like me?.... what if she thinks am some useless girl that threw herself at his grandson?? I heaved ..
He suddenly outstretched his hands and held my hand "Are you nervous?"
"Kind of... Do you think she'll like me?" I said doubtedly raising my eyebrow
"Of course she will, trust me Granny is much more accommodating than you think, she's nice you'll like her...., so calm down okay?"
"Okay.... but..."
"Shhhhh no buts, we're almost there".
He shifted slightly to my side and planted a kiss on my cheeks with that I smiled and kept quiet and he played music so the ride is more lively.....
We got there in no time and the maids were already there to receive us... like they were already waiting for us... He took my hand in his big palm and led me in, One of the maids stretched her hand to get my bag but I politely refused "It's okay ma'am, am good" There was a look of surprise on her face which I didn't understand so I turned to face him and gave him a questioning gaze
He chuckled slightly "She's just surprised because you're different from her....., sue literally bosses everyone around whenever she comes to visit grandma..."
By "her" I understood who he meant, I mumbled a silent okay and he sat me on the sofa while he went in to bring grandma.
A maid walked up to me "Hello ma'am what should I offer you?"
"Urrm I'm fine thank you"
"No She's not, get her some freshly made beetroot juice... and make sure it's properly washed please" A Female voice interjected and I looked up, Holden pushed her in her wheelchair.
I quickly stood to greet her "Hello grandma"
"Hi darling, how are you? Come here.... come to grandma" She stretched her arms for a hug
I smiled and went to hug her, she pulled me in ....., It was so comforting, I almost didn't want to let go....., I guess she sensed that and looked at my face giving me a reassuring look.
"How are you honey, and how's the baby ? hope she's not stressing you too much?"
"Not at all grandma" I smiled shyly
"What do you mean "she "grandma? How do you know it's a she?" Holden said looking like he was about to cry...
"Well I don't want another little you running around here, I've had enough of your tantrums, I want a girl please" Grandma said laughing
He turned to face me "Mel do you want a girl or boy?" he winked at me
"I want a girl" I said smiling teasingly
He stared at me like he wanted to cry "So you're supporting grandma too?"
"Am I supposed to support you?"
"Aww that's my girl" Grandma praised me
The maid brought the juice and handed it to me
"Thank you " I said politely, Grandma looked at me proudly and nodded at Holden
We spoke at length that we didn't know the day went by really fast...
Grandma asked us to sleep over since it was too late and Holden kept convincing me to stay, I reluctantly agreed and called Anna i won't be coming home.....
