I woke up with a strong headache. I laid on the bed for some time trying to gather my strength because I was too weak to get up from this bed. My head was hurting really badly and I could hardly remember anything. I don't even remember how I got to my room. I finally got up and went to go brush my teeth. As I was brushing, images flashed before my eyes, it was probably images of what had happened last night. I was actually almost molested by some random freak and Scott came to my rescue. Speaking of Scott, wait Scott!! Shit! Shit!! What the hell did I say last night. I cannot believe I actually asked him if I was allowed to like him. God! I was super embarrassed. I should probably just kill myself with my toothbrush, I'll stab my throat right now if I wasn't so scared of dying, but dying right now was actually a sweet option cause I cannot live with this shame I was feeling right now. I sat on the floor of the bathroom with my brush still in my mouth and my eyes fixed on one position. How on earth was I going to face him. He knows I like him. But he might not actually really know know right? He probably just thinks it's the normal kind of like right? But who would believe a drunk girl would be telling a handsome guy about a normal kind of like. Everyone knows people mostly tell the truth when drunk. I'm so screwed, he probably thinks I'm slutty. I slapped my cheeks with my palms to snap myself out of it. I'm probably just overthinking, cause he didn't reply to what I said. But doesn't that mean I've been rejected? I suddenly became down again. I was actually rejected. I laid down completely on the floor with the brush still in my mouth as I began to sob.
"Never drink again Anne, nothing good ever comes out of drinking" I said to myself as I hit my head hard with my hands.
I finally got over it, not really though, but I was feeling a lot better now, I took my bath and headed home. I called Gwen to find out if she had gotten home safely and she confirmed she had. I didn't have anything planned for the next few days, so I decided to pay my father and his family a visit. I informed Uncle Dran that I was going to go see them and he asked if he should accompany me, but I turned him down. I wanted to see them myself.
The next day, I went to H city, because that was where my father and his family lived. I left town early so I'll arrive there and come back early too. I arrived at their mansion and the security wanted to know who I was before they let me in. I simply told them to tell the madam of the house that it was Margrets child. After a while, they let me in. An old maid which I recognized from so many years ago, came out and welcomed me, not politely, but she asked me to follow her inside. I didn't expect much from the old witch Jane, she was one of my tormentors when I was still a child. She led me through the long corridors to the inner garden located in the middle of the house. It was a beautiful place, but all I had of this place were bad memories that I do not want to remember. I followed her until we reached the garden and I found the madam of the house tending to the flowers. Jane informed her of my presence. She didn't look at me but continued to tend to the flowers. I knew it would be a waste to even try to exchange pleasantries, so I made my way to the available seat I saw in front of me.
"Now I'll have to throw that beautiful seat away" she said coldly as she turned to face me.
"It is indeed beautiful. I'm afraid you'd regret throwing it out" I said coldly as well.
"Then you shouldn't have sat on it, faggots like you keep appearing around me lately and I find it irritatingly disturbing" she said walking towards me. "What do you want here, be quick as you are contaminating the air, my flowers needs fresh air you know". I was super pissed right now but I can't be rude, at least for now.
"I have the 12million. So can I please get my mother's house back" I said calmly as I stood up.
"How many years has it been. I think it's been 9 years since I lent you that money. Do you really think I'm still going to take that 12 million for the house? The value has risen darling and I was even thinking of auctioning it. She said grinning.
"We made a deal. You can't go back on your word now" I said gnashing my teeth.
"You look pissed. I like this look in your eyes, I wished I could have seen this exact same expression on your mother's face before she died".
"Don't mention my mother".
"Why?? Are you afraid that you'd be reminded that she was a whore". She said smirking. I tried so hard to control myself, her words were eating me up but I cannot let her see it's getting to me, that way she'll never win. She likes to see how hurt you can get but I'm not going to dance to her tunes.
"How much do you want for the house" I asked with a straight face and she scoffed and folded her arms.
"Now you think you are all that after seducing a rich man. An apple surely doesn't fall far from the tree. Your mother snatched what belonged to another and you did the same by openly dating an already engaged man just for money and quick Fame. Disgusting" she said as she spat.
"What I do is none of your concern. Tell me how much you want for the house and I'll get you the money.
"Since you want it so badly, I'll sell it to you for 60million. Do we have a deal" she said smirking while I hesitated. "That trash house means nothing to me but it obviously means alot to you so you better make up your mind quickly. She said mockingly.
"Ok. But I do not have the money now but I'll get it within three months" I said desperately.
"Such a useless trash. You sell your body and you can't even get good money out of it that you need a whole three months to get that small amount ready. Whatever, do what you please, but after three months, I'll sell the house to whoever is willing to pay for it. Now leave before all my flowers die from your stench" she said turning back to her flowers.
Jane suddenly appeared like she had been standing there the whole time. She led me out of the house, as I got outside, I saw him, the person I hated most, the man who conceived me.
He was greeted by the guards as he walked towards the house with a young lady that was extravagantly dressed, she was probably his new mistress. He saw me and stared at me for some time before ignoring me and going inside. The lady asked who I was but he told her I was someone insignificant. My heart sank to the ground as he walked past me. I have always known that I was hated by him because I turned out to be female, but it has been so long, he should have maybe acknowledged me, even if it was a little bit, instead of calling his own flesh and blood insignificant. I didn't expect much from him as I've long accepted the fact that I was an orphan as the only person who considered me family was already dead.
I ordered a taxi and I went straight home, I didn't dare to cry as I held it in. I got home but found that my door was unlocked, I grabbed an iron rod close to the door, so I can whack the intruder if there was one with it. I heard noises coming from the kitchen, so I walked stealthily towards the kitchen, I peeked and saw a man in Black standing by the sink doing something but I couldn't see properly as it was a little dark in the kitchen. I walked carefully so that when I get close, I beat the hell out of this thief with the rod. As I neared him, he suddenly turned and out if fright I waved the rod and closed my eyes, but it didn't hit anything, it was more like the man caught the rod with his hand. I screamed and tried to pull the rod away so I could whack him again but I was too scared to even open my eyes.
"What in heavens name are you doing?" The voice said and I recognized it immediately.
"Anthony?" I said as I opened my eyes.
"You almost broke my head if not for my fast reflexes" he said pulling the rod from my hand.
"You scared me to death" I said as I broke down in tears.
