My External Love

chapter six:

Miranda: “ your grace, it's time now,” a maid said on approaching me, “ okay then, leave,” I said to her, she bowed and left, I stared at them for the last time before turning and then I left. I soon got to our side of the mansion and then I went into my room, it was my tea time and a maid is present to take my orders since my personal maid was receiving her punishment, the she goat had addressed me as ‘ lady ’ again, though it must have been a mistake but I don't care about it, no one dares to address me so casually most especially worthless trash like servants, low life nobles, town folks, and guards, I only talk, see and mingle with people of class and might, so if you're not a person of high note or position then you are a nobody and should be gotten ride off, I ordered her to be flogged fifteen strokes of the cane and it's quite small compared to what servants who disobeys or provoke me got but it's all because she's my maid, so she should count herself lucky, I sipped my tea and stare into space, I just can't wait for the all perfect witch to leave this house to her doom, am just smiling at her soon to be downfall.

Maid: “ your grace, the senior lord awaits your presence before..”

Miranda:( yells) “ shut it pig” I cut her short harshly, I knew dad would want to see me but I need time to plan it all out before going to him, I need to see mom now!! I stood up, turned and the maid bowed, “ clean up this room and make it sparkle before I get back or else! ” I warned and she bowed again nodding, I left the room afterwards.

( At another room which is met for the senior wife,( Miranda's mom and senior uncle's wife)

Lady MINA:“ ha!!! this newlands tea is very refreshing” I said to myself in my room while on my comfy chair, I had a cup of newland's tea in my left hand, sipping it and enjoying it's refreshing scent, a friend of mine there had brought some along with her to visit not too long ago, I enjoy taking it during noon time like this to refresh my system, “ boom!” the door flew open and Miranda was standing at the entrance staring at me, “ ha! What now!? ” I questioned her, I don't want any disturbance from her or anybody now, she came in, took a seat opposite me, and got to the reason for her visit.

Miranda: I opened the door and saw mom till drinking her tea, she so much love it, her friend came by and brought some for her since she knows how much love my mom has for them, they were talking about fashion, women's stuff and others when I was with them but I had left them there and went to stroll around the mansion, that's how I got to see Lillian and her father in their garden.

Lady Mina: ( sits upright) “ so now, how may I help you, young lady?” I asked her.

Miranda: “ dad, wants to see me,” I said and took a seat opposite hers, “ so we need a plan”.

Lady Mina: ( shrugs her shoulders) “ oh my my my! What to do child, why not just continue with it all till it ends, surely he won't find out before the deed is done and by then it will be too late to change the hands of time” I said reassuringly to her.

Miranda: “ yes mom but I want to at least just.... Ha! I don't just want him to lose it then or be angry at me” I said to mom in a low tone, I don't want dad to think badly of me, am not going to risk too much just because of that witch.

Lady Mina: ( rolls her eyes) “ oh child, he's not going to kill you, you are his daughter after all so he can't do anything or be angry for long and remember we have come too far to back out,” I said to her.

Miranda: “ hmm, okay mom, I need to go see dad now, before he gets angry" I said, stood up, and left, all this trouble is all because of that witch of a girl, how I wish she could just disappear to nowhere, I said inwardly as I walk.

Lady Mina: as I watched my daughter leave and I couldn't help it but smile, she got this pride and jealousy from me, I was spoilt by my parents and thus it made me a very power seeking person, I want it all and I get it all, if not, then blood will flow, my mom was a Duchess and my dad the head chief of the royal guards at the palace, so you can imagine the wealth and power I had as their second and only female child, I didn't get to into this family by just Luke or love but by my power which includes wealth, I stood up from my couch and opened the door to my inner room, it had a passage with stairs which lead down to my secret place, after entering, I locked the door behind me, I walked down the few stairs and soon got to my secret room door, I opened it, got in and closed the door behind me, I then approach the huge hung painting I had on the wall, I stare at it and say “ your daughter seems just like you, all shining and magnificent but!.....” I stressed it, “ I will not let you win again, not through your daughter or anyone else!” I half yelled at Lillian's mother picture painting, don't be shocked because this isn't the first time am yelling at her picture which I had secretly taken, “ you think you and your daughter can come out of nowhere and take our spotlight and glory, well not when am alive and I will make sure your daughter surfers more than the way I did all because of you” I said and pointed a finger at her picture angrily, “ you took him, you came out of nowhere and took him, I wanted him, I loved and cherished him but you ruin it all” I was yelling now, filled with so much hatred, resentment and so much more, “ you are devil himself, I hate you!, hear me in your grave, I hate you!!” I was panting and sweating profusely now, streams of tears forms a line on my face, I picked up a stick on the floor close by and held it tight in my hand, without warning, I began stabbing the picture with the stick with all my rage and grief while sweating and crying, I yelled out different curses as I continued stabbing the painting with all my might, “ you beast, you hole, die die die!” when I was done causing damage to the painting, I rest my trembling body on the wall and slowly sat on floor sweating and crying at the same time, I never wanted this kind of life, I wanted it all in life but she took this from me.
