“That's for today's dinner” She turned to leave but stopped.
“What's that?” She asked, pointing to the item on the kitchen slab.
“They are shrimps, I bought them for Raymond because he loved…” She did not allow me to complete my statement.
“You are not using my gas to cook this, are you?” Her face twisted with anger.
“Ma?” I was speechless.
“I have no problem if you want to cook that for my son but do not use my pots, water, kitchen utensils, and gas cooker to cook that or you will see hell!”
“But mum, how can I cook them if I don't use those things?”
“Like I care,” Janet shrugged.
“Also I have warned you, don't you ever call me mum again because I will never accept you as my daughter-in-law, eww, you can't even shapeshift” Janet glared at me with disgust.
“Okay but if I can't cook them that means I wasted money buying them” I lamented.
“So what? Everyone wastes money, for example, we waste money on you” She rolled her eyes and flung her hair.
“That's so harsh, why do you hate me so much”
“Because I will never like you, rubbish” Janet left.
I cleaned my tears with my hand and resumed work. I brought out the stuff Janet bought from the polythene bag and commenced cooking by chopping the veggies, then I cut the chicken and boiled them.
Within thirty minutes I was done.
I am a fast and excellent cook, I started cooking at a young age, unlike my sister who had never touched a pot or knife in her life.
‘'Phew, I'm done” I smiled broadly to myself.
After cooking, I went to clean the Raymond chamber, which I finished in five minutes. As I came out of Raymond's room, I saw Janet throwing the shrimp in the trash can.
“What are you doing?” I ran to stop her.
“What? Do you want to rear them? Get lost” Janet said.
“Also, I hate seeing that big stomach of yours, it's irritating, look at your laps so huge, it's terrifying - why are you fat? Why can't you be normal like everyone else?” Janet aggressively pushed me away.

In school, the whole class was laughing and looking at their phones. Raymond wondered what was going on. He went online to the group chat to see Heather's picture used as a meme.
He bit his lips and clenched his fist together, Jessica hugged him from behind.
"Are you okay?" She asked him.
"No, I don't know the i***t that posted Heather's picture in the group chat" He fumed, showing the picture to her.
Jessica pretended not to know about it
"That's bad, Heather looks so bad here, her clothes are wet, her hair is scattered and look at …” Jessica almost laughed but comported herself because of Raymond.
"She is always causing disgrace to me!" Raymond stated.
Jessica smiled, "I will be right back" She left and went to her secret hideout ( The music room)
In the hideout, Angel and Emily are already there.
"All hail the queen!" Angel spoke immediately Jessica entered.
Jessica sat beside them "Here, take that" She threw a bundle of money on the floor.
The girls rushed at the money and smiled excitedly "Thank you, omg this much" they kissed the money.
"Something is bothering me," Emily said.
"What?" Angel asked.
"That slug said she is the future Luna, is that true?"
"I'm sure she was just bluffing, right Jessy?" They turned to her.
Jessica's face was red, "She said that?"
"Yes"
"And she will report us to Alpha Raymond," Angel added.
Jessica stood up and scattered the things around her, the desks, chairs…shouting.
Then she scattered her hair in annoyance.
"Leave!" She yelled and The girls rushed out.
"Really?, Heather" She bit her lips, thinking of how to humiliate her more.

Heather
“Aw!” I stretched myself as I got up from the bed, I had just woken up from a good sleep with no disturbance from my mother-in-law.
I went to Raymond's bedroom to welcome him but surprisingly he wasn't there.
“He is back from school?” I thought.
I left and went to the sitting room, “ Is my husband back from school?” I asked a passing maid- Janet's maid.
“No” She bluntly replied and went on to Janet's room.
“Okay”
I sat on the couch, waiting for my husband.
It's been hours now, I glanced at the clock for the hundredth time that night.
"8:00 pm, what's keeping him?" I pondered.
I stood up, grabbed my phone from the table and called him but his phone was switched off.
"Great!", I fumed pacing in the sitting.
Just then, a car drove in, I checked from the window, it was Raymond. I stood up immediately and rushed to the door, relief and anger battling within me.
Madame Janet stayed inside, peeping through the window.
As I stepped outside, I saw Alpha Raymond exiting from the car with Jessica. "Thank you, you were great" He complimented and kissed her on the cheeks.
"Take care, I will text you", Jessica giggled, went back to the car then the driver drove out.
My heart sank as I watched my husband kiss Jessica on the cheek, a gesture that seemed too intimate.
“Yes, they go to school together because they are friends, right?” I asked myself.
“But why is our driver driving Jessica to her house?”
“Jessica could not even respect the fact that I'm his wife and they are in our house, no I can't take it”
"Raymond!" I called out, my voice trembling with a mix of confusion and frustration.
Raymond turned to me and walked towards the door to see me standing by the door, my arms crossed, and obviously, I was not happy.
His mood changed immediately. "What are you doing here?" He frowned.
"Where have you been? And why is Jessica here at this time?" I demanded, my voice rising.
"Why are you just coming home?" I pressed on.
"I was busy," Raymond answered.
"Busy with what? Busy till 8 pm?"
Raymond sneered, looking at me from head to toe with disdain. I was putting on a sweater a jean trousers.
“When last did you hit the gym?"
"Last week"
"Last week? I instructed you to go to the gym five times a week!"
"I can't keep up with that, it's not my fault. I'm chubby, I can't change me"
"Yeah," Raymond replied, nodding his head.
"Don't change the topic. Where were you?"
"Why are you so fat?" he shot back, his words cutting through me like a knife.
"You should worry more about yourself than about where I was."
Raymond sighed.
“You are my biggest mistake.”
“Excuse me?” I moved closer to him with my eyes filled with tears as I watched him brush past me, heading towards the house.
I'm talking to you!" I followed him inside.
Raymond greeted his mum and went upstairs to his room, ignoring me.
"Hey, you better leave him, can't you see he is tired? Is that how to treat a husband? "Madame Janet asked me as soon as I stepped in.
"Go to your room and let him be", Janet yawned, stretched her hands, and went to her room to sleep.
'Go to your room?' I smirked.
We are married couples, yet we sleep in different rooms. He is married to me, yet he goes to school with another woman.
Something inside me snapped. I could not let him walk all over me like that. Fueled by anger, I stormed after him.
"I need an explanation," I said to Raymond, who was in bed chatting.
"You again?" Raymond looked at me and hissed, “Please, I need to rest, I'm tired" He complained, focused on his phone.
I grabbed the phone from him.
"You are tired, yet you are chatting?" I shouted, and with annoyance, I threw the phone on the ground.
Raymond turned to me, his face filled with rage. "What the hell, Heather?" he shouted.
"You can't treat me like this!" I cried, my voice breaking. "I deserve some respect!”
Without warning, Raymond slapped me hard across the face.
