Chapter 32
Chad's instincts immediately led him to believe that the two women were headed somewhere familiar and had a specific person in mind. Not only him but Ken and Gideon also had the same thought.
Chad's heart almost jumped from his throat at the thought of it. Those damn two bitches! As if they were asked to, at the same time, chant the name,
"Charlie!", realizing that those two bitches intended to unleash their fury on her. What crazy bitches they are.
"Those two girls are crazy!" Gideon exclaimed as he instantly became furious.
"Damn it!"
Chad hastily grabbed his coat from his chair, realizing the imminent danger his wife might be in. He rushed to the elevator with Ken and Gideon following closely behind as they ran out of the office.
Their sudden and hurried departure confused the employees who questioned the reason for their urgency among themselves with no answer.
However, without needing to provide any explanation, the trio knew it wasn't the appropriate time to clarify. So they ignored all the curious gazes of their employees.
Meanwhile, Spark, having arrived late, witnessed his three friends rushing out of the building as he was entering.
He observed them from the company's entrance baffled by their behavior, Chad had already sprinted towards his car, followed by Ken and Gideon, all in a state of urgency.
Spark didn't open his mouth to ask them what the problem was and why were they in a rush but his expression said it all and Ken had to tell him,
"Charlie is in trouble".
Spark may have earned a medal, in high school, for his speedy running, as he reached his car faster than his two friends, Gideon and Ken.
Chad had already disappeared from sight, followed by Spark, and then Ken and Gideon in a separate car.
*********
Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Marlie remained seated on the couch, observing through the transparent glass door as Angelina and Audrey, the two witches, entered in a furious rush.
"Took you long enough, bitches. I've been waiting." With a smirk forming on her lips, Marlie taunted them, saying to herself.
She signaled to Vien to be prepared to call Chad if the two witches entered and then settled back comfortably on the couch.
Vien couldn't help but cast a concerned look at Marlie, who wore a wicked smile on her face. The old woman couldn't fandom what was brewing inside her head. She just hoped Marlie would be safe after what was about to happen.
The memory of Charlie's previous encounter with Audrey and Angelina resurfaced in Vien's mind. Charlie was fed up with Audrey bullying her so in an attempt to retaliate, Angelina joined in, they both mercilessly attacked her.
"Will she be alright?" Vien silently worried for Marlie. However, Marlie herself appeared unconcerned. Gosh, she had been waiting for them all morning. She was even starting to feel irritated while waiting for them.
Audrey pushed the door open, barging into the hall and shouting Charlie's name. This drew the attention of all the servants to the hall. They all feared an angry Audrey.
Vien hurriedly went to the kitchen and dialed Chad's number. The call connected, but there was no answer. Her worry grew even stronger.
Chad, Spark, Ken, and Gideon were all driving at top speed in their separate cars. Only Gideon and Ken were in the same car.
Ken pleaded with Gideon to slow down slightly to avoid any potential nausea. He is one friend who was nothing but a crybaby while the others, Chad and Spark wished they could teleport to the house but the traffic was not helping.
They were yanking the car horn in rage and curses.
Here they were, worried for someone who still sat on the couch even when Audrey chanted the name,
"Charlie!"
In response to Audrey's call, Marlie comfortably stood up from the couch and stared with an innocent expression on her face and a poised demeanor.
"You dare to seduce my brother, you bitch!" Audrey glared at Marlie, angrily confronting her.
If glares could kill, Marlie would have died instantly.
But this time, Marlie wasn't going to let them off easily.
She needed to provoke them further, to give them a taste of their own medicine. That way, she could speak her mind and, at the same time, make Audrey so enraged that she would make the mistake of striking her. And that's exactly what she's striving for.
"Trust me baby girl, your dearest brother enjoyed it!" Marlie retorted, sounding innocent and sweet. She even had a faint blush on her face.
"What?!" Audrey couldn't help but question. How dare Marlie say such a thing. Chad would never get close to Charlie, not to talk or get intimate with her. How could Marlie say such a thing? Her mind was running wild. Did Charlie cast a charm on her brother? What I'm the world is this new Charlie trying to do?
"Sister-in-law, I'm sure you will be thrilled if I let you in on the details." Marlie moved closer to Audrey and cleared a strand of hair on Audrey's face with a provocative smile.
"But I thought you already have the details? Marlie continued, mocking. She walked two steps to Angelina by Audrey's right and smirked evilly at her.
"Isn't she your best friend?"
Pointing her finger at Angelina she mockingly asked, "She didn't tell you? I'm sure she saw everything in detail. Didn't the mistress inform you?"Marlie said and burst into laughter.
Audrey was seething with anger but managed to control herself, resisting Marlie's trap.
"It seems she thoroughly enjoyed watching my husband and me make out. Well, what can I say? Most women are envious of me and want to steal my husband away from me. But tell you, they will never have such a chance... NEVER!!!" Marlie continued, taunting them.
All the servants gasped in shock." Did the lady just say that out loud?" The servants were astonished by Marlie's statement. Could it be true?
Did Angelina shamefully stand to watch Marlie and Chad having sexual intercourse? The servants began gossiping amongst themselves, further fueling Audrey's anger while Angelina stood there feeling ashamed.
After a while, Angelina, consumed by rage, couldn't hold back and lashed out calling, "You shameless whore!"
Marlie found amusement in this. Marlie scoffed and laid out her question.
"How can the mistress call the wife in such a manner? Have you actually listened to yourself speak? Who truly fits the description of a whore, a wife or a mistress?" Marlie deadpan with a smirk.
Angelina was stunned. She bit her tongue, hurt by Marlie's unexpected behavior.
They had anticipated coming to insult and perhaps even attack her, but she proved to be more formidable than they had anticipated. How could the weak Charlie be this formidable?
Undeterred, Marlie carried on with a wave of her hand, "Anyway, we will deal with that later."
For now, she intended to use the events of the previous night to further her plan. These two bitches really asked for it. They should have seen this coming.
Addressing Audrey, Marlie remarked, "You know what sister-in-law, since your best friend was so bad and did not tell you the details I will take her place and gladly gist you." Marlie continued with a smile. It was as if she wasn't bothered by their abrupt presence.
" Your brother was so strong and passionate in bed. Well, I'm sure your friend knows what I'm talking about since we share the same man."
Pausing momentarily to flash a provocative smile, Marlie added,
"But I'm uncertain if she had the same experience, as your brother couldn't help but moan my name against my delicate skin, 'Charlie, you're the best... ever'." As Marlie said that, she motioned it using her fingers to sexually caress her neck closing her eyes and letting out a profound moan.
The servants had had enough as they covered their eyes and some of their ears. This was the final straw for Audrey.
She had endured enough of Marlie's nonsensical rambling and felt compelled to put her in her place.
But in her dreams. Who was she kidding?
Audrey attempted to slap Marlie but she swiftly caught her hand in the air and retaliated by grabbing her by the hair, causing Audrey to cry out in pain.
Angelina was shocked. She didn't wait any moment and joined in, but neither of them was a match for Marlie. It was a pathetic sight to behold - two against one, yet they couldn't overpower Marlie.
Marlie yanked both their hair and those two screamed from the pain. They were receiving their beating in turns instead of the situation which should have been vice-versa.
While Audrey refused to give up, Angelina simply followed her lead.
Marlie signaled Vien, who shot her a look of concern - a look that implied that her plan might fail since Chad was not responding.
Realizing that Plan A had failed, Marlie swiftly shifted to Plan B.
"Fine, I'll have to gather evidence to present to him when he arrives," Marlie thought to herself, allowing Audrey and Angelina to momentarily gain the upper hand.
However, Chad and his friends arrived at the house at that moment. Trust me no matter how they defended themselves, it was two against one and they had no way out. How embarrassing it will be if those two vultures say" She beat us!"
"Master Chad!" One of the servants called out to him as he rushed in, displaying the demeanor of a fierce lion.
With the transparent glass door, Chad was able to witness everything from outside. Well not the part Marlie hurt them but the part where those two friends ganged up on Marlie.
Sensing Chad's presence, Marlie immediately began pretending, shedding tears and pleading desperately,
"Aahhh, stop it you are hurting me! Please stop, I beg of you!! Please stop hurting me, it hurt!!!" Marlie cried out bitterly.
"You slut! How dare!" Audrey and Angelina continued to hurl insults at her.
"It's painful! Audrey please.....please stop you two! Someone, please help me! Call my husband, please! Chad, please save me!"
Marlie continued her cries when she saw Chad's silhouette at the corner of her eyes. A sly smile formed in her life as she pretended to cry even more.
"Let the show begin now!" She thought triumphantly inside.
