Chapter 23
A Weird feeling
I freshen up, with a black pair of short jeans and a white half top with my long flowing hair… I keep jogging down the stairs. Halfway across it, my phone rang. I raised it, it was an unknown number, funny I don't remember ever giving anyone my number.
I picked it up, "Hel-----"
"Wow, bitch you finally picked up." The strong female voice said, in anger, even before I could say hello.
I slowed down as I got to the end of the staircase. "Who is this?" I asked, now standing close to the dinner table with my back faced to it, unaware of the maid and the visitor sitting across from the table.
"You don't need to know that. My brother has been in a coma for the past two months because of you. I swear if anything happened to him, you'll..."
"You what?" Pffff I said laughing at her empty threats. "ahhh, now I remember you; you were among those crazy ladies, that attacked me and tried to bleed me dry. Wow, you're still alive? That's so disappointing."
I could hear the angry scream coming from the other end of the phone. "You're so dead."
Pffff "Really? Seriously, what is it about your brother again?" I asked, but she went silent. "Oh, yes, coma. Hahahaha, what did you think was gonna happen when you sent him after me?" I asked, now serious
"I never....."
"You sent him after me, didn't you?" I cut her off "So, I don't think there is no need for-------"
"You fucking bitch, you almost killed my brother and that's all you are going to say? Oh, you are so dead. You are so, so dead." She spat out in rage, while I remained silent and listened. "you are not even being remorseful?"
What/ I snapped, "Remorseful? FUCK YOU. If time were to turn back right now, the only thing I'll be changing from that moment is the choice to leave him alive. After all the shity ordeal I'd to go through in that crazy place and the continued harassment from your brother, just when I defended myself from him, you want me to be remorseful. Ahahahaha you are funny." I said and paused. "you want revenge good, me too. Come find me, I'm in New York and Darling when coming.....come with your shity friends, we have an unfinished business." I spat out in rage and hit the phone to the ground. I was so mad I could kill anything that comes into view. "Revenge, ahh, why do you think I came home?" I murmured out loud. Then heard a sound from the dining area.
I raised my head to see a pair of glowing green eyes with disbelief and something else that I couldn't pinpoint, but the other pair of brown eyes heard something that I was pretty familiar with, fear. Dad said, A guest will join us. It was the stupid couple.
I smiled as my eyes meant him. I moved closer to them both, holding our gaze. I stopped in front of an empty seat close to him.
Sighing, I turned to the maid, who suddenly flinched when our eyes meant, "do you have your eyes in your ass?" I asked her, with clear hatred lacing my every word
Scared "Wha....t?"
I scorned. "Are you expecting me to clean that mess?" I asked, pointing at the tea overflowing from the cup.
"Oh... I didn't ... I mean..."
I turned with red eyes glaring at her. "SCRAM."
"AHHHH." She gasped and ran,
"Pffffff oh that I was fun." I took a seat and served myself.
While doing all this, I could feel his eyes on me, and it was getting on my nerves. I raised my head to see him staring openly. "What, is there something you wanna say to me?" I asked, no longer smiling.
Judd Clay was astonished as he stares at Mr Black's daughter whose name, he learned a while ago, was Rose. From up close, she looked so innocent that you can hardly tell she could say such words, like 'fuck you' or 'kill you'.
Honestly, he almost believes when his ex, thought of her to be a child from another woman, until Gloria proved her wrong.
She was the second born of the family, but for some reason; the mother had lied about her existence while she was away. He didn't need it to be spelled out for him, that Mrs Vivian's condition was because of her and now, she was glaring at him with eyes that could hardly believe to belong to a girl. "Just what happened for her to act like this?" he murmured
"What?" I glance at the weird doctor, speaking to himself. "You sure you are okay there, Doc?"
He stared at me and just smiled. "Yeah, I'm totally fine." He replied,
"Okay… if you say so." Despite saying that, she could feel him staring at her and for some reasons it made her uncomfortable.
The feelings his stares were giving her, were so weird, she hardly tested anything. She looked up and caught him staring, he didn't bait his eyes but just reached out for the glass of water and drank with his probing eyes still on her.
Annoyed, Rose gazed back at him, smiling. She spoke fiercely, "Mr clay, you've been staring at me for a while. You know, such a look can cause a misunderstanding. Now tell me, do you like me? " she asked him, smiling from mouth to ear
Clay smiled. What boldness, he then leaned closer to her "And what if I do? Are you going to give yourself to me?" he replied by asking
For the first time in a while, Rose was star struck. She was so speechless to the point of her spoon falling from her hands. This just made Clay laughed his eyes out while waiting for her reply.
