” Christina!”
” Mother!”
“Get your head back in gear!”
“My head is alright, mother. Moreover, how are you any different than me?”
“Excuse me?”
“You’re fighting against that woman too, remember?”
“Of course, I’m trying to take back what rightfully belongs to me – to us”
“Same thing here, mother. I’m taking back what that bitch stole from me”
“Christina, please stop” her mother pleaded desperately, “Unlike me, you still have time not to make the wrong choice as I did. I’ve made a lot of mistakes and I’m spending the rest of my life correcting it- that illegitimate fool would not reap where they didn’t sow – so please, leave the war to me. Just find a decent man – anyone but that Niles – I won’t quibble,” she added, “Please”
There was a calm look in her eyes and Queen was so grateful that her words finally got to her daughter.
But that eyes abruptly hardened and settled on her with blazing intensity.
“I’m sorry mother, but I’ve gone too far to stop” she went on, “Moreover, you should know how much I hate illegitimate spawns. Goodbye and see you the next time I visit”
“Christina! Christina Devon, come back here this instant!” She called after her but the person in question sauntered away.
Queen broke into tears, everything was her fault. If she hadn’t pampered her so much and ingrained into her mind the winning mentally, things would have been different.
Now, her daughter was hell-bent on winning a battle that was obviously not favoring her.
The moment Tina stepped out of the house, she called Kimberly at once. A look in her eyes and one could see the burning murderous intent there, her fury was flowing like molten mountain lava this time.
“Hello?”
“I need Maria to suffer” she went straight to the point without wasting time.
“Probably another time, right now I don’t have anything on – “
“It was not a request but an order” Tina’s voice was cold – literally a minus 273.15 degrees celsius if measured.
“Fine, I’ll do it “
“And do it fast, my patience is thinning by each growing seconds”
“Alright, your honor” Kim said sarcastically and ended the call.
Tina didn’t care about her rudeness as far as she got the job done. At this juncture she didn’t care whether Niles finds out or not, right now she already had a backer- Adam would stand by her.
A sardonic smirk tugged her lips to the side, Maria would regret ever knowing her.
The third point of view
“What’s my next schedule?” Angela asked her secretary who was standing before her with a tablet in hand.
“None at the moment ma’am, save the women’s empowerment conference that has been pushed to tomorrow, they apologize for the impromptu notice”
“Fine” she sighed, pressing her temple out of fatigue. She was the guest speaker for that event which she was pleased had been adjusted. Right now her head was throbbing, she needed rest.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll need you to …” she was still speaking when her office door was opened and her husband came in.
A smile tipped her mouth, “You can leave now” She asked her secretary to give them some privacy.
Hardly had the door close, did she stand from her swivel chair, and walked over to her husband who was staring at her with an amused look.
“Today must be a lucky day for me” she teased him, “What brings this handsome man to my office?”
“Can’t a husband take in the sight of his beautiful wife while she works?”
Angela smiled and kissed him briefly,” Seriously sweetheart, what brings you here”
Though in his early fifties but it was clear that Alfred was a very handsome man during his prime and the intelligence in his eyes hasn’t been shadowed by his age.
With dark wavy hair that was carefully picked and gelled back by a professional stylist, he had piercing brown eyes that looked like warm chocolate and was quite tall.
Alfred walked with a gait that commanded respect and not terror, unlike most men in power.
But that meekness was not to be taken for weakness, cause just like any other person in such a position, they would do everything to keep that seat.
“Come on, have a seat” she directed him to the settee so they could have a proper discussion.
“No, I’m going to be brief” Alfred tugged on her hand to keep her from moving.
“Okay, go on. I’m all ears “
“Lately, I discovered we’ve been so busy that we don’t have time to work on our personal life,” he said.
“So?”
“So, would you go on a date with me? I want to take you out after work”
“Sure, anything for my husband” she promised him with a delighted glint in her eyes.
He pecked her on the lips, “I’ll pick you right after work”
“I’ll be waiting”
Alfred left for his office while Angela went back to her seat, feeling as if she was on cloud nine. She was filled with anticipation and thinking about the date brought a smile to her lips.
She was going through one of the documents out of the piles on her desk when her secretary came in again. But this time, she had a bouquet of roses in hand.
Angela blushed, she didn’t have to guess since her husband must be the one who sent it over.
“This is for you, Ma’am” Her secretary passed the flowers to her.
“Alfred shouldn’t have bothered” she tugged a lock of hair behind her head in a coy manner.
“I’m sorry ma’am but that’s not from the president”
Angela’s smile ceased, “Is not from Alfred?”
She shook her head,” I’m afraid no, ma’am “
” Who then?”
“I have no idea but it was passed from the front desk with instructions to be delivered to you personally. I’ve checked it and there’s no bug nor harmful object – so far the flower’s safe. It came with a delivery card, perhaps you could read it and I can help you trace whoever sent it “
“Don’t worry, you can leave. I’ll call you if I need help in tracing it “
“Alright, ma’am ” The secretary bowed and strutted out of her office.
Angela frowned, she hardly received flowers without knowing the sender but she picked out the stylishly folded card, opened it, and read
“Like migratory birds, my soul has flown back to you. How are you, La mia farfalla.”
