Chereads / My lovely mistress / Chapter 4 - Mother

Chapter 4 - Mother

"she is just the person who gave birth to me,nothing else"she said expressionlessly,having no emotion or feelings towards her mother and Asher's heart ached always because of that,yes Ara had hurt them very much but he still doesn't want her to hate her.

Seeing that her father was about to speak and not wanting to hear him defend that woman's actions,she stood up feigning being tired"dad,it's been a long day and I want you to rest very well,so let's end it here"

He stayed quiet,before noodling his head'yes'he knew she didn't want to hear him defend ara and we'll,he couldn't blame her,she wasn't a good mother to her but he doesn't want her to keep despising her

She helped him lay back on the bed and kissed him good night before leaving the room

After leaving the room,she went to kitchen to get a glass of water before entering her box like room,it wasn't big but it wasn't small that would make one feel claustrophobic

A queen sized bed placed in the middle of the room with a dresser table at the left edge of the bed,a small book shelf at the right filled with mostly romance,fantasies and a bit of history book,and a medium sized closet at the far right side of the room

she walked towards her bed and dropped on it

"ahh,you bastard"she muttered with her eyes closed,already feeling sleepy from having a long day"why are you so hot that i fell for you"she crawled to the pillows and placed her head on it"and now,you are with that bitch,that woman's bitch"she mumbled and fell asleep

...

As adira and Kayla walked to the school building,Adira suddenly stopped as she noticed something or someone in the school parking lot

"what's wrong"Kayla asked when adira suddenly stopped walking

Adura looked away from the person and faced Kayla"it's nothing just spotted someone unimportant"she said and Kayla just nodded understanding who she was talking about

At the school parking lot

"now,be good dear and fully convince damon to go through with the engagement,hmm"Ara said with a serious face and Maya nodded"yes mother"Maya said pecking Ara goodbye before walking away

Walking away from the parking lot,she looked until she spotted who she was looking for,ivor,who was waiting for her at the stairs that led to the school building,she smiled at him which he also did seeing her and she rushed towards him,hugging him tightly before letting go,twirling in front of him showing him her gorgeous bubblegum pink gown that hugged her body in the right places,making his eyes darkened a bit as he thought of all things he could do to her in that dress"you look beautiful"he commented'and so ready to eat up'he thought that in his mind

she giggled and went close to him,taking his arm and putting it around her shoulder,ivor chuckled a bit at her behaviour and led her to school

When adira and Kayla entered their lecture hall after getting somethings from their lockers because they didn't stay in the dorms,Kayla spotted someone she didn't want to meet and saw him smiling at her,God if only they weren't going to the same school

she averted her gaze and followed adira who was already on her way to their seat,as she walked up the stairs she could feel his eyes following her every steps making her gulp the lump that was forming in her throat.

...

After their lecture,Kayla went to the schools kitchen to begin her final project while adira decide to go to the schools garden

reaching there she sat on a bench and admired all the different varieties of flowers that were planted,red,white and pink roses,lilies,sunflowers,heliotrope, daisy's,bluebells and other types of flowers,with trees planted at different corners of the garden.

she inhaled the fresh breeze and sighed collecting her thoughts,anytime she see Ara,a whirlwind of emotions floods her thoughts,they would always go back to when she was little,how she always craved for her mother's love,but wasn't giving any and left her and father in the end

she had always wondered if she had left because dad was poor,but then it shouldn't be an excuse,Asher showed her much love that she is sure that the man she is with right now wouldn't be able to show her that amount of care

Her father keeps telling her that Ara loves her,but she doesn't believes it,she doesn't care,nor will she ever will,that woman is dead to her

Adira touched her face to check if there were tears and there weren't,she isn't hurt by those memories like she used to be in the past,she then stood up and left the garden,leaving for her next lecture

on her way she saw Damon by the basketball court playing with some guys and thought of going there,but shook her head telling herself no and walked away,and at that moment Damon turned his gaze to where she stood and saw her walking away,if I one had seen how he broke up with adira one would be a little confused at his stare as his gaze looked yearning,like he was yearning for her
