But what was more shocking was that she looked vigorous and glowed with intense energy as if she had slept for fifteen hours straight
whoah, I envy her gene.
She muttered a greeting I couldn’t even comprehend but I had more p**ssing issues at hand.
Cooking.
I took a great time washing up in the bathroom cause it gave me a great venue to concentrate and plan my next move.
I didn’t want them to know I hardly cook and depended on takeouts. Not that I didn’t know how to cook but it was a huge job to me, a tormenting one at that.
As if on cue, my doorbell rang as soon as I finished dressing up .
I suddenly became alarmed, I had a contractual delivery man that gets my breakfast every morning. Probably because I had a lot on my mind, I had totally forgotten about that.
I rushed to the door before anyone else hoping to remeid the situation when I got the shock of my life.
“Eden? “
“Hi” He smiled raising two shopping bags that were filled with foodstuffs.
I raised a brow, what’s going on here?
“I bought fresh ingredients to cook breakfast ” He explained smiling sheepishly exposing his white attractive teeth but it didn’t last long cause a figure turned up beside him.
Oh God, not him too.
“Hungry? ” Was all Niles said with a grim exp**ssion as he raised four paper bags ignoring the existence of a certain cousin.
“This is ridiculous “I muttered staring at the two powerful figures still awaiting my decision.
“Isn’t it bad behavior for a hostess to leave a guest standing outside ” Niles complained making my eyelid twitch at his insinuative words.
A guest ? Was Eden now totally invisible in his eyes ? isn’t he a guest too? But before I could reply, Eden beat me to it.
“Isn’t it a hostess duty to kick out a ridiculous, rude and offensive guest ” He said enunciating each word boldly and audibly.
I stared at the two contrasting beings and was at odds on what to do.
One is rude, arrogant, roguish, domineering, possessive, tyrannical yet straight forward while the other’s kind, civil, romantic, disciplined yet abhorrent, manipulative and shrewd.
“So have you made a decision? “.They both asked at the same time while I stared at them perplexed,
This guys are mental.
**************************************************
Maria’s Pov
My head throbbed painfully at the sight of the two annoying figures who weren’t on the verge of giving up.
“So have you made a decision? ” They asked at the same time rendering me speechless. One had a persuasive look on his face as if he could readily convince me to give in to his request while the other had a smug grin on his l*ps as if he could easily charm me over.
Before I could react, someone else beat me to it and it all happened in a blur.
“Oh yes, she has ” Izzy replied, moved past me and swiftly snatched the bags from their grip and slammed the door shut right in front of their faces.
“And that’s how you handle the two idiots ” She appraised herself flaunting her wits dramatically
“What was that for?! ” I hollered, utterly bewildered
“For love sake, would a little manner kill you?”
She looked taken back for a moment before her gaze hardened , prompting her to leave with the bags while murmuring to my hearing
“This is what I get for helping someone out, you all can go to hell “
I s**ked in a shaky breath and opened the door but regretted it right away after seeing the victorious smirk on Niles’s face.
If it wasn’t a known fact that he wasn’t on good terms with his daughter , I would’ve thought he and his daughter were in cahoot to ruin my life.
“Daddy! ” A tiny excited voice screamed from behind and I didn’t need to guess who it belonged to.
I turned to see a sleepy Annabelle who was still r*bbing her eyes run into her Father’s embrace.
“Haha! My lovely bumpkin, daddy missed you last night ” He said engulfing her in a loving hug while she nestled her head in the crook of his neck.
“I missed you too, daddy “
The warm and loving scene stirred my heart to the extent I was close to tears. I indeed had a loving family but their love wasn’t for me, it was for the other daughter.
I quickly snapped out of my thoughts, it was already in the past so there was no need crying over spilled milk.
Now talk about the other family.
Niles’s adam’s apple bobbed restlessly as he tried to start up a conversation with his er….loving daughter?
“It seems you had a lovely sleep last night, mom’s ghost didn’t haunt you enough? ” Izzy dropped as soon her dad approached her.
Bam! A deafening silence enveloped all.
I stared at this girl stunned to the core , couldn’t she see her dad’s trying to bridge the distance bet**en them and what sleep? Even a blind man could make out the dark circles on his face, he obviously didn’t get a wink last night.
Niles suddenly paled for a while but he covered it up with his poker face and he spat
“Oh yes, she did come but I killed her a second time “
*Cough*Cough* Emily who was witnessing the family soap opera choked on her drink while I facepalm.
Was this idiot building bridges or burning bridges?
“Oh that’s true ” Izzy sneered “I’ve forgotten that you’re the only psychopathic killer yet to be jailed “
This time I mentally gave Izzy a thumbs-up, when it comes to exchange of words, the girl was totally unbeatable.
But I couldn’t just sit by and watch them destroy each other, I had to do something.
Unfortunately it seems they guessed my intention cause as soon as I moved, they sent me a death glare that pinned me at that spot .
I raised my hands in surrender, fine just kill yourselves already, I’ll gladly send your corpse to your father!
I sat back deciding this time to greedily watch the unfolding soap opera without interrupting.
All that was missing was a bowl of popcorn and a comfortable couch , the stool I was sitting on wasn’t quite comfortable to watch on.
I stared at the two figures who had positioned their body in an argumentative stance, it was already a draw so it was left for another person to drop another bomb.
“Really? ” Niles laughed but I could perceive the coldness behind it and when our eyes met, I could literally see an infinite number of knives suspended in the air waiting to be projected towards their unyielding victim.
