Betrayed for Love
By Authoress Vehrah
★ RAYMOND'S MANSION ★
Raymond was sitting on the couch drinking his wine when Desmond and Kyle rushed into the house startling Raymond.
What's wrong with you guys!!!??? He yelled as he dropped his wine.
We're sorry boss but we have a problem; Desmond said.
And what's that? He asked.
We didn't shoot Arnaldo. It's Margie who got shot instead; he said.
What!!!!! Raymond yelled and stood up instantly.
We're sorry boss. She jumped in the way when we were about to shoot him; Kyle said.
This is not good!! He muttered.
Forget about him. I want to deal with Dexter. Get me his address; he said and they nodded before leaving.
Damn!!!!! He cussed as he threw a pillow which was already on the couch away.
You escaped death this time Arnaldo but you won't escape it next time; he said angrily.
★ Anna ★
I drove into my house roughly and slammed the door immediately I went in.
Anna!! Nancy called but I ignored her and ran into my room slamming the door in the process.
Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!! I screamed and began scattering things. I threw the flower vase that was there on the ground as i cried.
Anna!!! Anna!!! Nancy called my name as she knocked on the door.
I squatted on the ground with tears pouring out of my eyes.
I love you Arnaldo!! Why can't you love me too? Why can't you??? I yelled and punched the ground. I looked up and saw I and Ivy's photo. I stood up and went to pick it. I carried it and stared at it for a while.
It's because of you Ivy!! You took him away from me and I'll make sure you pay dearly even if it's the last thing I do; I muttered before carrying the picture. I carried all the things that reminded me of Ivy and I went out of my room and met Nancy standing there. I ignored her and went downstairs as I went to the kitchen and carried matches before leaving the house.
I put the stuffs that I carried inside a blue drum and light the matches. I dropped it into the drum and watch it burn to pieces. I wore a cold look on my face as I stared at it.
Why are you burning it Anna?? Nancy asked from behind.
I don't need them anymore!! To me, my best friend is dead; I said with a cold look.
It didn't have to get to this Anna; she said and I turned to look at her.
I love Arnaldo Nancy but she stole him away from me. She replaced me, how do you expect me to still love her Nancy? I said and asked.
If he actually loved you, Ivy wouldn't have been able to take Arnaldo away from you. So stop blaming her for losing something you never owned before; she said and I got angry.
You don't know anything Nancy and I suggest you shut up and mind your business!!!!! I yelled and she stared at me in shock. I realized what I did and immediately my eyes softened. She turned and was about leaving when I held her hand.
I'm sorry! I... She interrupted.
Let go of me Anna!! Please!! She said and I let go of her. She walked into the house and locked the door. I sighed and walked into the house too. I saw her in the kitchen and I walked to her.
Na.... She interrupted.
If you want to eat, the food is in the kitchen and if you don't want to, then just cover it and go to sleep. Good night; she muttered and walked into her room. I sighed and carried my food and went to the table. I ate my food in silence and when I was done, I did the dishes before going to Nancy's room. I knocked on her door but she didn't answer. I opened the door slowly and peeped inside. I saw her lying down on the bed and I came in fully.
Nanny! I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I didn't mean to say that. You're the only one who loves and supports me. The only one who take care of me. I know I made a big mistake by saying all that and am sorry. Please forgive me; I muttered with tears in my eyes but she didn't answer.
I love you nanny and good night; I said and began heading to the door. I opened the door and left.
Immediately, Anna left, nancy opened her eyes.
I went upstairs and closed the door before going to take a shower. I wore my PJs as I climbed the bed and used the duvet to cover myself. Tears escaped my eyes as I remembered what I said to Nancy.

Your mom is alive. She's out of danger now; Julio said and Arnaldo released a deep breath.
That's good news! Ivy said with a smile.
Can I see her? Arnaldo asked.
Yes you can but don't stress her too much alright; he said and Arnaldo nodded. They walked into the room together except Julio who went to pay the medical bills.
Mum!! Arnaldo called and rushed to hug her.
I'm so glad you're alive; he muttered as he pulled out of the hug.
I'm glad too; she said and her gaze landed on Ivy.
Who's that? She asked as she sat up by herself with a little struggle though.
She's Ivy Cruz! My girlfriend; he said and interlocked their hands. She looked at ivy and then at Arnaldo.
Who are your parents Ivy? She asked and ivy looked at her.
They are Raphael Cruz and Regina Cruz; she said and her eyes widened.
My sister is in this country and she didn't bother to call me? She said and Ivy felt guilty because of what Regina did to her.
I didn't know she was your sister; Ivy said and she nodded.
Well I give you guys my blessings; She said and Arnaldo smiled.
Thanks mum; he said.
Thank you ma; Ivy said with a smile.
You're welcome but you can call me mum; she said and Ivy nodded.
Thank you..Mum; she said and Margie smiled and opened her arms for a hug. Ivy left Arnaldo and went to hug her. They broke the hug when Julio and the police came in.
Good day ma'am; Officer Albert said.
Good day! She said.
I would like to ask you questions about what happened to you; he said.
Go on! She said.
What happened exactly? He asked.
We were in the house and we were discussing some things when two masked men who had guns with them came into the house. They were about shooting my son, Arnaldo but I took the bullet instead; she said and officer Lito wrote it down.
Do you have any enemy? He asked and she began thinking.
Not really! She said and Ivy started feeling guilty again.
What if it's mum that did this? How will I tell miss Margie? She thought as she stared at the police.
Did you see the face of those who attacked you? He asked.
No! She said.
If there's anyone here that knows something about this please tell us. We really need to know; he said and Ivy looked at Arnaldo.
If she's the one that did this then she'll have to pay; she thought and sighed.
Sir! I have a hunch about what happened; Ivy said.
Alright please talk; he said and Ivy looked at Arnaldo.
Are you sure you're ready for this? He asked.
I'm sure; she said and looked at Albert.
The only enemy Margie has is Regina Cruz; she said and Margie looked at her.
My sister? She asked and Ivy nodded.
How? She asked.
Because she's behind the death of your child; she said and Margie gasped.
Tbc.....
Like, comment and share.
So Raymond plan on attacking Dexter instead?
Margie is alive. Who's happy?
Can't believe Anna insulted the only one who cared about her.
Do you think ivy is doing the right thing by telling the cops about her mum?
