“Yes, you have but your recent obsession is suspicious”
She sighed, “I’m engaged to a man who’s obsessed with another woman and now she’s injured, I have to go with him to ensure nothing happens between the both of them” she added firmly, “How’s that for a reason?”
I shook my head in disbelief, this was like the pot calling the kettle black “You’re a witch, you know that?”
She clicked her tongue, “Yes, I know which is why I’m trying my best to be nice to Maria since I’ve gotten what I wanted – you “
“Get out of my room, I need to shower “
“I’ve seen you naked a lot of times, Niles. Getting out of here wouldn’t make any difference because I have the memory in here” she tapped her finger against the side of her head indicating her brain.
My face hardened,” Get out of my room, now !” I growled at her.
“Fine, whatever ” she sashayed out of my room.
I restrained myself from acting upon my anger and walked into the bathroom. The cold shower helped me calm down and strategize carefully.
Tina’s days were numbered, I didn’t react for a reason: I was piling and digging up her dirty secrets; our engagement party would be a blissful one.
Done with the shower, I dressed quickly and headed downstairs in the living room where she was nonchalantly going through the television channels.
Fine, let’s act the obedient boyfriend for a while.
Thankfully, during the drive, she didn’t bring up a discussion. She was smart enough to know I wouldn’t contribute a thing, so she busied herself with her cellphone.
I was nervous at the thought of meeting Maria, especially now she was awake but the woman beside me didn’t notice it.
When we reached our room, Tina knocked on the door before going in but who I never expected to see in Maria’s room was my father.
We stared at each other for a few seconds before he smirked and walked out of the room, shoving past me at the door.
A lot of thoughts passed through my head, what was he doing here? What did he discuss with Maria? Did he threaten? Though she hid it, I could see her pale complexion – he must have hurt her.
I went after the old man albeit it was too late – I lost him. My hands went to my pocket intending to pull out my phone but frowned when I met nothing.
How was that possible… Isabella.
Isabella’s point of view
An evil smirk twisted my mouth to the side, what did father take me for? He was becoming careless around me. Well, who cares, it was working for my good anyway.
I stared over his phone in my grasp, my smirk broadened into a grin, I bet he never expected that.
When he threw me over his shoulder earlier causing me to scream, I used that opportunity to slip my hand into his back pocket and took out his cellphone.
That was an easy trick for me anyway since I’ve been going out for training, moreover, Niles was distracted else he would have caught me.
We have this secret camp where most of Sparks’s train – mostly males though, Grandfather thinks that aspect of the business is not meant for women but I’m the only exception; the future first female heir.
We have these instructors who train us but sometimes Grandfather’s friends from the military come once in a blue moon to give us some fighting tips and test us.
Lately, I’ve been missing out on my training on purpose since I was pretty mad at Grandfather – if it wasn’t for his schemes, Niles and Maria would have been married already.
Sadly, my revenge plans have been adjusted. I’ve been so obsessed with revenge against my father that I’m ignorant to see that the house was on fire and I might get burned real soon if I was not careful.
The problem? Finding a mother?
Whether I hated Niles or not, it was obvious my position was threatened by Tina. I didn’t need to profile her, just her eye shape alone spelled greed.
So I’m on a new mission “GNMT” which means ‘Get Niles And Maria Together’ but it seems that would be a lot harder to achieve than my vengeance plan.
There was a lot of factors working against me:
Grandfather: I seriously don’t get why that old man dislikes Maria. He used to be my number one person but right now, he’s at the bottom. Yeah, we can rearrange that position when he’s ready to listen to me.
Christina: The legendary witch and my supposed future evil stepmother. She’s a huge stumbling block in my plan and I can’t just move her because she has two major supporters – Grandfather and father.
Eden: That sly old uncle and Annabelle’s father whose motive is still unknown. But judging from what I saw in the countryside, I think he feels a lot more for Maria than he intends – I’m so not going to lose to him!
Niles: My stupid faster who thinks women are his playthings- thankfully, Maria has changed that. Sometimes, I loved the way Maria left him so he could feel the same pain he inflicted on women’s hearts. But then if she leaves, who’s going to perform the mommy role?
Ugh, so annoying. I can’t believe I’m the one cleaning up his mess – wish I had a say in who was going to be my father.
Maria: My target and number one person at the person – that special position in my heart may change at any time. She claims to be smart but so dumb, determined, badass, stubborn, and a big softie at heart. She’s so ignorant when it comes to love and handling my father, it’s so irritating – I might go crazy while getting them together.
I thought of many plans and decided to try one I see in novels a lot – getting them drugged with aphrodisiac. That one would be the fastest route to get a baby sibling which would then force both idiots to get together
Sadly, those drugs were harder to get than it looks. Even if I got it, I’ve set a bad record that father doesn’t trust to eat anything I make – It would have been easier if Maria was here.
Now, with my father’s phone in hand, I would get the hell out of this suffocating house – just hope he doesn’t find out till I make my escape.
To stop me from visiting Maria, that man kept me away from all communication gadgets.
“Hello, who is this?” Annabelle’s voice came from the other end.
A wry place twisted my lips, her father was kind enough to leave her with her cellphone.
“It’s me, Izzy, ” I told her. She was probably confused since I was calling with Niles’ phone.
“You have a cell phone? How surprising”
Yeah, how surprising. I was always the one at the receiving end of every punishment.
“What’s your status?” I asked, ignoring her gloating tone.
“Code yellow” Came her reply which made me facepalm, was that even a punishment?
If I was given that same lenient punishment, I would have made my way to Maria already. What was I expecting from Anabelle anyway?
“I’m going to Maria, are you interested?” I offered but her response wasn’t what I expected.
“What?!” She sounded shocked, “You’re causing trouble already?”
“Why? You don’t want to see Maria?”
“Of course, I want to see Maria but daddy says it’s dangerous out there and I don’t want him to worry” she explained meekly.
“Alright, miss goody two shoe” I taunted her, “Sit back and enjoy being daddy’s girl, I bet you’d receive the daughter of the year award”
I was about to end the call when I heard,” Wait”
Smiling inwardly, I asked, “What?”
“I would go with you but on one condition”
My brow rose interestedly, “What is it?”
“If we get caught, the blame is on you” Anabelle demanded.
I snorted, she thinks she’s smart? Let’s see how this goes.
“Alright, if we get caught, I’ll tell your father that I kidnapped you from your house, threatening to shave your hair if you don’t come with me. How does that sound?”
“Mmm, that’s fine”
“Then you, what are you going to do for me?”
Now’s my turn
“Huh? I don’t understand”
Yeah, she was supposed to be confused.
