CHAPTER 10: Wretched Lowlifes
Georgina POV
I sat down with everyone as we talked about Laura who had disappeared two days ago.
We tried finding her but we couldn't find her but the one thing we won't do is try to report to the police.
"The bitch ran away, didn't she?" Landon said and I eyed him.
"Looks like it," Olivia replied, chewing on a gum so loudly.
"Why would she run away, just watch your mouth, you two!" I yelled at them.
"Mom, you make me laugh really, why act like you care now that she's gone, you rarely told me off when I talk bad about her but now you are doing so??" Olivia asked with a disgusted face.
"Yes, I rarely do but I still do, so watch your mouth, Laura is coming back" I said with a cold glare.
"Yes, I hope she will come back, I hope she does" Olivia said and smirked while I heaved a sigh.
Gabriel wrapped his hands around my shoulder, calming me down.
"Don't you think she ran off with a rich man or something??" Landon said, facing Gabriel.
"Just shut it Landon" Gabriel yelled and Landon scoffed.
"You guys are weird, Dad! You used to tell her off every now and then, but now that she ran away, you are regretting your actions right?
Guess you cared for her as your daughter after all" Landon said, facing his phone.
I heaved a sigh. "To the dining everyone" I ordered and they all stood at once.
Even if they turn deaf ears to all my orders, they won't to this particular one.
I had the food served on each of their plates and they all sigh except Gabriel who didn't.
"Pasta again," Olivia muttered.
"Yeah, it's gonna be the death of us," Landon replied to her in a mutter.
"Eat or leave" I simply said, taking my seat beside Gabriel and digging the fork into the plate already.
I tasted the food and swallowed hard before eating.
I knew Olivia and Landon were going to complain and they did.
"Mom, the fuçk is this?? The darn food is so peppery" Olivia yelled.
"Gosh! I miss the bitch for this" Landon muttered but I heard that.
"Laura, Landon. The name is Laura! Not bitch!" I yelled and he smirked.
"Whatever, she cooks better than this yet all this bitch beside me does is to complain, I bet she ran away because of all of you!" Landon yelled and I held my head as a result of a headache from all the yelling.
"Landon. You are disrupting the dining table, leave quietly if you aren't going to eat my peppery food." I said with a glare.
"The hell did you just say Landon?? I complain?? Don't you do worse to her huh??" Olivia yelled back throwing daggers through her eyes to Landon.
"Just eat the darn food, the two of you, there's nothing else to cook for you right at the moment, it's Mom's mistake, I know it and I'm sorry" I said trying to make the whole place quiet again.
Landon sighed and just ate the food quietly, Olivia glared at me for some seconds before eating the food quietly.
I turned my gaze to Gabriel who has been eating with the commotion going on, I sighed and just ate too.
Truth be told, it looked like I lost all cooking skills since Laura has always been the one cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday for years.
I never did the cooking and all I do is go out when I have the chance and money to flaunt.
We finished eating and everybody sat down staring into eyes, it was all about how the table was to be cleared.
"I will be in my room first" Olivia said and stood up from the chair, despite the deadly glare I gave her, she didn't flinch but still left with her eyes focused on the darn phone in her hand.
Landon too followed suit. "Wait for me kid sis" He said following behind Olivia who acted like she couldn't hear him.
Right! Laura has always been the one to do everything, cook, wash, clean and every other chore there is to it.
I sighed and watched as Gabriel packed the whole dishes and took them to the kitchen and I could hear splashes of water, he was washing the plates.
He came out moments later and lifted me up taking me towards the room.
We got into the room and I scurried out of his embrace folding my hands beneath my boobs.
"Forget about Laura, Georgina" He said and I smirked.
"Who cares? Gabriel..." I called and he stared at me anticipating what I was about to say.
"It's enough, we've had enough, I think it's high time we stop this" I said.
"Stop what??" He asked.
"Stop living like wretched lowlifes" I blurted out.
"I was going to talk about that too," He said.
"Laura is gone, no one is willing to take her role and I've had enough seriously" I said, shaking my head sideways.
"But Georgina, we have been holding out all these years, don't you think we should just keep living like we've been doing??" Gabriel said and I sighed.
I know it's going to be hard to persuade him and here it is happening.
"Gabe, that person is not onto us again, we didn't find traces of him all these years, did we? We are cool!!" I yelled trying to make him see things the way I'm seeing it.
"But..." He wanted to object again but couldn't with me cutting him off.
"Gabriel!!" I yelled again. He's just thinking too much about this thing when he shouldn't.
"Okay then" He said, resigning and finally seeing things the way I see them.
I smiled, then came a knock on the door.
"Mom, Dad, you cool?" I heard Olivia's voice.
My yells might have attracted them since the house is not even made of a little bit of soundproof.
"Yes, we are," I replied, smiling at Gabriel who smiled back.
