Episode 57
Lisa
“Girlfriend, you are so silly, but I am happy for you; you going to be a mother soon, but I am still angry at you,” Bella said at the restaurant we were eating together.
“Oh, what did I do?” I asked, eating from my plate of food.
“Well, I am your best friend, and I should have been the first person to have heard the news of your pregnancy.” She frowned.
I started laughing, “You make a good actress, you know, don’t worry, you will be my baby godmother, is that fine with you.”
I asked, smiling.
“Well, I should think about it. You know that I can’t be bribed easily by you.” She raised her left eyebrows continuously.
“You such a pain in the ass,” I added.
“So tell me, are you still planning to quit working with the Wilson?” I raised the question even if she might not like that, but it is best we discussed it once and for all.
“Well, I need to leave, I am tired of life there, yes I love Kyle, but most times I feel we can’t be together, Clara is all over him, if I can make another progress at the Walcott and she employs me, then I will have something reasonable to tell me parents about quitting.” She took a glass of juice.
“I feel so helpless that I can’t help you; Theo doesn’t speak with his family anymore; he would have told his mother to employ you.” I dropped my spoon and fork.
“It’s okay, you been my best friend is enough for me; funny how time flies, I sometimes wish we can go back to the beginning on how we started with them when there was no family drama yet.” She wiped her tears.
“Me too, but do not worry, in movies, there is always a happy ending, and I believe we will be having that soon in the future.” I encouraged her.
We hugged ourselves.
“Bella, I still can’t believe till now you bear your parents ways of treating you without telling Kyle?”
“Let’s not talk about them, please. If I get home, I can think about them but now let’s talk about what makes us happy.”
“Yes, My lady, only what makes us happy like stealing your meat.” I winked at her.
“No way, you didn’t; I am so killing you right now.” We laughed.
Theo
On our way to the airport, Kyle decided I take him there, but we had a little discussion in the car.
“Once more, man, I am happy for you, and I wonder if I can decide like you,” Kyle said.
“Making a decision is not easy; you have enough time to think and plan about the whole thing. Remember, think for yourself, Kyle, we are no more kids, we should know what is right for us, our parents can’t rule us forever,” I advise.
“Yes, you are right; I will make my decision on my return, do take care of her as well and protect her from Clara of a girl.” We laughed.
“I will.”
“Once again, congratulations, you will be a father soon. Remember I told you in our last discussion?” He winks at me.
“Gosh, stop doing that; you look like a gay.”
“I hate you, man.” He added.
“I can’t believe I won’t be there tonight when you will be asking Lisa to be your wife.” He became moody.
“We have face time, remember, so you get to see everything still!” I added.
“Nah, nothing like been there live and direct.”
“You will be my best man at my wedding in the future, is that much better.”
“Yes, that’s okay by me as your best friend,” Kyle said, giving me a thumbs-up before arriving at the airport.
” Safe fly, man.” I said, and he waved at me, saying, “We talk on face time.”
“I am happy to meet him as a friend,” I said to myself.

“Lisa, did you receive the outfit?” I asked on the phone.
“Yes, I did; I will be at the place you texted to me in the next twenty minutes.” She said.
“Okay, love, see you soon.” I ended the call.
I made sure the garden was like a fantasy; today, I will be asking her to be my wife and telling her I have gotten a restaurant in our name; I can’t wait to see that look in her eyes and her reaction.
In a few moments, she arrived, and I knew she wondered why the place was quiet and dark; I flip my fingers, and the beautiful fancy light was turning on gradually; she looked so surprised, and I could tell she loves it.
A beautiful song started playing in the background; I walked to her, holding her from behind, “You look beautiful, my queen.”
“Thanks, Theo, for all this.” She replied, turning to face me.
“Can I have this dance?” She accepted; we dance for a while, then I placed a knee on the floor bringing out the ring.
“I love you so much, Lisa; I want to spend the rest of my life with you alone, do me the honour of been the Queen of my heart; will you marry me?”
“Oh yes, I will marry you.” I placed the ring on her finger and kissed her.
*Weeks Later.*
Lisa
“This isn’t fair love, I assumed you would be sleeping at my apartment,” Theo said, acting like a baby.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“I will make it up to you, okay.”
“Fine, let me at least drive you home.” He insisted.
“Oh no, dear, I would love to take a taxi. Please, you worry too much.”
We argued over it before he finally agreed.
“I still don’t want you to go tonight, but since you are my queen, I respect your orders.” He kissed me before I left with a taxi.
The taxi dropped me at my home, Theo paid already before I entered after fighting over it, but something looks off.
I entered and noticed the door was not locked and the place dark; I put on my phone touch, “Grandma, I am home, got lots of gists to tell you and for the record, you are too old to play hide and seek.”
I got no response.
I opened her door and saw someone with all black suffocating her to death, I tried running, but he grabbed me back despite my struggle with him, he overpowered me, saying, “Sorry about your grandma, she died in your place, you are my target.”
“No, please.”

Clara
I threw my flower box at the maid, but she got lucky to have dodged it.
I grew so angry that I want to hurt someone or destroy anything at my front.
“Miss Clara, are you alright?” One of the maids asked.
“Have you gone mad? Do you know your place in my fathers home? How dare you ask me if I have gone nuts?”
She went on her knees instantly and started pleading, with tears dropping from her eyes.
“Miss Clara, I am so sorry, I never mean it that way, I am just a maid in your home, I am nothing to ask you such a question, punish me but please don’t take my job from me, have mercy, Miss Clara.”
I looked at her with rage all over me, and I notice how scared she got even to behold my eyes.
I am glad she knows I can take her job from her quickly and make her roam about the street helpless.
“Kyle, I have done everything a regular girl would do to keep her man; I waited all these years to become your wife, I have loved you for a very long time, what is so hard in giving me just a little love, to just love me back in return, a simple task like reciting the alphabetical letters.”
I slapped the maid continuously on the floor to my pleasure, and I imagined her as Bella then; I increased the way I handled her.
“He would have been mine, Bella; you are just a maid who has nothing to offer, for the record; I am far better than you, and I a going to prove it; I will make life miserable for you till you stay away from Kyle.”
“Ma, please, I am not Bella, you hurting a loyal maid, please any other punishment than this ma, please.”
I got back and yelled at her to leave my sight at once; I reached for my cigarette to smoke and calm my nerves.
“I think I know what to do. Kyle is my man, and there is nothing that can stop us from getting married; I think its high time I go tough a bit; I will destroy Bella, ruin her beauty and make sure Kyle hurts her emotionally when he breaks up with her for good, and then he will ask me to marry him.” I laughed evilly.

At the Wilson home, I requested to see the chief maid called Brenda.
“Good day, Miss Clara; I was told you wanted to see me urgently.” She said in respect.
“I hear you are Bella friend in the house.” I noticed her countenance changes as she started to stammer; I knew I was right; she is that bitch friend; I won’t stress myself then.
“Kyle father will be home tonight; I need some maids to sleep over, Bella and others too; we have a little feast,” I ordered.
“But ma.”
“How dare you try to question my orders? I am Kyle girlfriend, and I have the right to decide while he’s away.” I yelled, and she pleaded.
“I am sorry, I will do just that.”
“Good, then you leave; you can’t sleep.”

Oh no, Lisa is in danger, and what could Clara be up to?
