Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

My Lady , would you like to sit in the garden . Mary asked .

Yes , l would love that.

After the session with Levina , Damon left for some work and l was left alone to my maids . The garden was beautiful with many different kinds of flowers blooming since it was the beginning of spring .

The fresh air in the garden reminded me of those days when my mother was still alive .

Flashback

Selene , Selene stop running around my dear else you will fall and hurt your legs .

No mama, l love how the wind is blowing my hair. A young girl of about five years could be seen giggling happily and running around the beautiful garden .

My dear , please don't tire this poor mother of yours . Rose Davids voice rang out .

Come here my dear. Eat something before you go back to playing, Rose said as she caught up to her daughter.

Yes mama . Rose fed her young daughter biscuits and juice lovely . She was the first wife of Richard but a week ago he had brought home a new wife . She could not believe that her husband who used to be loving and caring to her would bring home another woman after their six years in marriage.

She was from a middle class family and when she met Richard she fell for him at first sight.

Though her family was not all that wealthy , Richard's parents accepted her lovingly into their family due to his love for her .

After the first year of her marriage, she became pregnant and gave birth to Selene who spread happiness in their life .

But of recent she been seeing some strange behaviors in her husband but she didn't want to conclude. But now that he has brought home a woman, she can't even do anything.

He pays less attention to her and Selene because of his new wife .

He doesn't even see a problem in the way his new wife mistreats them.

She has been chased out of her marital bedroom and she is now sleeping with her daughter.

What a turn of events . Many women warned her about marrying a man above her status but she didn't believe them because she knew Richard married her for love .

Mama. Her young daughter called her.

Yes dear, want more biscuits.

No am full. She said rubbing her small belly.

Mama, why did papa bring that woman here . And why don't you sleep with papa anymore. He doesn't carry me anymore when he is back from the palace.

Does he not love me anymore .

No my dearest Selene. Don't think like that .

Your father loves you a lot and cares for you .

Now let's get you cleaned up.

Okay mama and I want you to put two pig tails in my hair .

Okay l will do that my dear .

Hmmm

A woman with black hair and sharp black eyes could be seen emerging from behind the wall.

Her father loves her a lot . Nonsense l won't allow.

Rose... Can't you understand that l have come to take everything from you .

Your home , husband and his love . They will all be mine .

And your daughter, l will make her life miserable and l will make her father hate her too . Good enough am carrying Richard's child and l can't allow her to compete for his love .

I will give you a slow poison and you will die a slow death for daring to steal the man l love from me.

Richard was my first crush whenl attended a ball and set my eyes on him for the first time .

My heart skipped a beat and l knew right that moment that I had to make him my man .
