She took in a deep breathe leaning on the door for support.
'You can do it.'
She told herself, encouraging herself.
She went downstairs on her way to her car when she was on the bottom of the staircase she saw the person who disdained her entire existence- Candy.
Candy scowled at her. Vanessa's upper lip twitched looking at her.
Vanessa thought of something and her twitching lip turned into a smirk.
She made a beeline towards Candy.
Candy was cooking dinner when she saw Vanessa.
Vanessa sniffed the air and her face brightened up, like a child's face when given a piece of candy.
She leaned closer to Candy and said. "what are you making. Smells delicious."
"Poison." Came a curt reply from Candy.
Candy hated Vanessa. No hatred is an understatement.
"Pass. I hope you gulp it down in one go." She paused, looked at Candy in the eye and further continued. "Poison works more effectively when consumed fast."
Candy gritted her teeth in anger, glaring at Vanessa.
Vanessa took few steps towards the refrigerator and opened the door when Candy lost her composure and finally snapped.
"Get the f**k out." She said. And, ohh boy, if looks could kill Vanessa will be lying, thousands feet underground, who knows even in the middle of the earth.
Vanessa took the Pepsi can from the fridge opened it and took a sip.
She threw her head back and heaved a content sigh. Then she looked at Candy dead in the eye.
"Careful sweetheart, I'd hate to know your husband is mad at you if he were to find out what you did." She said nonchalantly, leaning on the kitchen counter.
Candy shivered in fear, the coldness of her voice, her eyes that looks like a dark abyss. She did not know what actually made the teenager powerful enough to terrify her but she knew she is not to be trifled with, and unfortunately that's exactly what she did. She messed with Vanessa in, possibly, the worst way possible.
Chills ran down her spine thinking of that day.
"You wouldn't dare." Candy sneered at her after a couple minutes, her voice was quite shaky too.
Vanessa upper lipped kicked up looking at Candy lose her composure.
"Is that a challenge." Vanessa asked wiggling her eyebrows mischievously.
"What makes you think he'd choose you over me, his wife. The mother of his children." Candy snapped back.
"Last I checked, he referred to me as his daughter. Does that mean your my mother too." Vanessa asked, astonished.
"Get the f**k out this instant." Candy yelled at her. She didn't like the thought of her husband adopting her and now she is rubbing it in her face.
She cursed Vanessa would just drop death at that moment.
She'd never EVER be Vanessa's mother. Anyone is better than her.
"That's what I thought." Vanessa said chuckling to herself.
She kept the empty can on top of the counter and walked towards the door with her hands in her pant pocket.
"Throw that out after you calm yourself down, will ya." She yelled out on her way out.
The only thing that stopped candy from chucking the plastic can at her after she said that was, she was not good at aiming and there's a high chance she will miss and it will ruin the interior of her home.
THE NEXT DAY
Vanessa entered the door of the place where she was meant to meet the seduction teacher.
"Ms. Knight?" Someone asked entering out of nowhere.
"I think so." Vanessa muttered doubtfully.
'Why am I even here!!'
She exclaimed in her head.
"Mr. Knight asked me to be your seduction teacher. So are you ready." Mr. Whatever-his-name-is said, looking a little hesitant.
"Let's just get this over with." Vanessa said rubbing her head.
"Where do you have a problem." He asked her, to get to know where he needed to work on the most.
"Skin to skin touch." She said looking disgusted. Not with the tutor but with herself. As she needed someone's help to overcome something so insignificant.
He appeared to be immersed in his thought before he asked Vanessa to remove her jacket, which she did almost immediately. Revealing her crop top.
He gestured for her to come closer, she did.
He grabbed her waist and leaned closer to her ear.
"Is this what you have a problem with." He whispered, huskily, in her ear.
But Vanessa could barely hear him.
All she could hear was one voice on top of another. Whispering dirty words while they did unspeakable things to her body.
No. No.
Get away from me.
Vanessa pushed him away and rushed to the bathroom where she locked herself in.
"No, this is a nightmare. I'm much stronger than that." She muttered in disbelief looking at her reflection in the mirror and splashed water on her face.
PRESENT DAY
"Then I became so good at seduction even he, who's name I didnt bother to learn, got seduced. After that Alexander found out and fired him." Vanessa said looking proud.
Sian on the other hand looked distraught and with pity.
"I'm sorry." He said with a lot of regret, one might think he was in the wrong somehow.
"Don't be." She waved him off. "In fact I love it, knowing I don't flinch when someone touches me."
"Alright so how did you meet your baby mama." Vanessa asked curiously.
"She is not my baby mama. Hell she is not even the baby's mama." He shook his head.
Vanessa grinned. Who doesn't like a good story time.
