"jeopardize your family?" Her laugh died down and her voice rang out.
Suzy was shocked by her tone. It was cold and detached, so were her eyes. She looked straight into Suzy's eyes without an iota of fear or respect, it was like she was talking to a total stranger.
"If I wanted to, I would have destroyed it by now." This rolled out of Gisele's lips again.
Suzy's eyes widened "How dare_"
"Grandfather was right, you lot are not just hopeless but you're shameless and despicable. Going to the Andres family is the worst mistake I have ever made."
"You_" she cut Suzy off again.
"I don't care to know what Roxanne had lied that I did or what she might say I did in future but don't ever come to find me again." She said sternly "I was serious when I said I have cut all ties with the Andres family. Tell your family I have no business with them again. So I'll advice you, the more you keep showing up in front of me the more you're reminding me to take actions against you" She stood up and turned to walk out
"oh and lest I forget the family you guys married me off to is not easy to be truffled with. If I don't , they surely would break your legs if they see you again. For your own sakes pretend I'm dead and never come back again" With that she walked towards the door.
"You ungrateful child! I have given birth to you yet you speak to your mother like this?! You're a bitch! You're got married to this family all because if out help yet you use them to threaten us?! You should be paying us for getting you into such a wealthy family!"
Gisele's hands paused on the door knob.
"Was that your mission for coming?" She asked and turned around "You want to use me to finance the Andres Family? I guess your loving husband's greediness has come to light"
A guilty look appeared on Suzy's face. She didn't deny the fact "how can you call us greedy? We were the ones that have you the wealth you have now, shouldn't you pay us back for giving you such opportunity? We deserve 50% of what your husband gives to you"
50%?
Was that what they asked her to request for?
That should be it. The Andres family had no shame, they must have heard she went to the company to resign so they think she now has an abundance of wealth with her. They sent her mother to pressure her into giving them half of what they think Devon has given her.
Half of what Devon gives her?
What a joke!
Gisele laughed "50% of what my husband gives me?" She paused "he has given me nothing"
Suzy finds that hard to believe, she eyes Gisele and can't help but notice the designer bag, and the cloth she has on, even her shoe was probably worth all her clothes combined. Her heart burned in greed and jealousy, she wanted these too.
She should be the one wearing expensive things and looking sophisticated and not the daughter she had born from wedlock!
Gisele saw her eyes the things on her body, she snickered. "Even if he had given me, you don't deserve anything, not even a miniscule 1% of what I have now"
"if there's anything you deserve... It's pain, heartbreak and a dozen folds of the humiliation you caused me"
"You!"
"Go tell your family, if they ever seek me for such nonsensical opposition again then I would give them all I have just mentioned. You included mother. I'm doing you the last bit of favour by ignoring the Andres family but this would be the last time" She pulled opened the door and walked out.
She didn't turn to look back not even for once, her heart was chilled. To say she was disappointed would be an understatement. She was so disappointed that her disappointment had given way for anger and hatred to posses her heart.
How dare they?
Seek her out to be their money machine? How much of a fool did they take her for? Did they even stop to ask themselves why she would even want to help them and her mother... Did she overestimate her worth to Gisele that she came thinking Gisele would conceed to everything she told her to do?
Give them money?
Why should she? Did they ever give her any? Did they even ask what she had to endure in the Montero Family?
She left the building and got into her car. Then she paused, her mother's words had greatly offended her. She looked at the rear mirror and the palm print on her face, as well as her broken lips.
Her palm moved slightly to cheek. A pricking sensation was felt when she touched it. She hissed in pain.
Sigh! She should not have taken that slap head on.
She was supposed to take photo shots for the Face of Glamor in a few days, what if a scar is left behind?
Sigh!
She started the car and drove away. She still had to go home and sign up for the audition, there was no need dilly-dallying.

"What do you mean by my session had been cancelled?!"
"miss you were supposed to have your session in the morning but you didn't show up, Mr Collins cancelled the session after that" The receptionist explained with a frown on her face. She wouldn't be having to explain now is the lady had picked up her calls all morning.
Camille exclaimed "but I called to reschedule?! Why would he cancel me session?!"
"It's the studio's rule. If you're late for your session, the session would be cancelled and your time would be given to someone else. Mr Collins has already given your time to someone else. You can reschedule with another of our Photographer or collect a refund for the money you paid."
Camille became even more angrier than she already was. The thought of her session given to someone else was infuriating, she had spent a lot to book that session and even boasted to her friends that she had a studio session with Mr Collins but it got given out?
"I don't need your stupid refund! I demand to see who my session was given to!" She yelled angrily.
At the same time Brenda had just finished taking her shots with Mr Collins. She was beaming with joy as she walked out with her manger. She held unto her phone like it was a precious jewel, her eyes on the picture that was just sent to her
"Are you that happy to have your picture taken by Mr Collins?" The young man asked teasingly, he was equally smiling. Seemingly Happ to see her happy.
"Mmhmm" she nodded "who knew I would get a chanced session with Mr Collins"
A Chanced Session with Mr Collins?
