Episode 20
Bella
I groaned in pain as Lisa’s grandma applied some substances to my back, I was really lucky the iron didn’t touch me very well but it left a scar of the shape of the iron.
“Sorry to say but I hate Joanna, why will she stand and let your mother who has this temper do this to you?” Lisa said with anger.
“Let’s just let it go, I was careless, assuming I never left the iron on, this wouldn’t have happened to me”, I said.
Lisa’s Grandma decided to speak, “Stop blaming yourself Bella, it is not your fault you were born to your family, no matter how careless you are, the worst she should have done was to scold you and not to hurt you this bad”.
I kept on crying seriously. How I wish I was related to Lisa and she was my grandmother too, I would have been happy.
?Kyle?
After she left, Theo hits me and said, “Why are your eyes all around her, huh? Don’t tell me you didn’t listen to me after what I told you? She is your maid, M-A-I-D! MAID, Kyle”.
“What if she is a maid? Is she not a human being, is she not a lady? Please let’s enjoy this meal, it looks delicious, mmm”, I said to end the conversation with him.

“I hate that girl Clara, I don’t think I can end up with someone like her, I feel so unease with her like I feel forced to do things for her, but the maid you are criticizing, she is the one I feel so comfortable with, she just makes me feel at ease with her!” I said to Theo.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Hold on a second, don’t tell me you have started developing feelings for someone you know fully well your parents won’t buy the idea for you two to be together!” He reminded me of it.
“Yeah I know that but I still feel, marriage shouldn’t be decided by our parents, but there is a way out of everything, I have an idea, and tell me your thought about it after I’m done sharing it with you”, I told Theo.
“Bring it on, I’m all ears best friend”. I know Theo was so curious to know about the whole idea.
“I want to sponsor her in college, make her be the kind of woman I want in her, change her fashion sense, equip her after college and after that, my parents won’t be able to say no to a high standard classic girl, what do you think? She is making me crazy you know, I might ask her out if I can’t pretend anymore” I told Theo with Much excitement I was having.
“You are so out of your damn mind Kyle. You should hear yourself now, sponsor her in college, I warned you, and now look at the whole thing, you are getting fond of her. Better break whatever is growing for her and be the Kyle you used to be. When it’s time for you to get married, you will meet the person that fits your status okay?”, Theo tried changing my mindset.
“Well even if I change my mind, I’m nice to her, helping her in college shouldn’t be a bad idea. Even if you support it or not, I’m so doing it. Soon I will even want us to hang out together, trust me you will learn to like her and regret you criticized her”, I boasted to him.
“She has even made you a preacher”, immediately he said this, we started laughing out so loud.
“Before I forget about this, hope we are still clubbing tonight, because I’ve got some hot bitches for us tonight”, he said with a smile.
“Oh damn it, it’s been long since I had naughty fun, tonight is going to be fun”, I said gingerly to the atmosphere.
I got a call from Clara, but I don’t know why she can’t quit? She already knows I don’t love her with my character and everything but she is still not ready to give up on me.
Some ladies are desperate for real.
“Won’t you pick up your lover’s call”, Theo teased me.
” Lover my foot”, I said to him and we started laughing.
My room’s door got opened and it was mom, Theo greeted her and she responded positively to him and yelled at me.
“Why aren’t you returning your girlfriend call?”, she asked with a face I couldn’t even read or describe.
“Mom, what girlfriend are you talking about?” I asked her.
“You silly son, who else but Clara? She is sick and worried that she has to call me, you are lucky to have a caring girl like her, do call her?”, she said before leaving.
“Seems mom is her husband to be and not me”, I teased and we both started laughing.
Bella ?
I finished the work at the Wilson’s, but I had to pretend in my walking steps but the pains I was feeling were too much to bear.
I saw Kyle and he said, “What happened? Why walking like you are pregnant?”.
“Oh, just decided to try this way of walking after watching it in a movie last night”, I lied.
“Okay if you say so, concerning the work I have for you, you will do it after my friend who just came leaves okay?”, he said and I nodded in approval.
I entered the room for maids like me, I made sure no one was in, so I raised my top looking at the scar on my back to see if it’s healing fast or not.
I almost started crying seeing how reddish the spot was. I got frightened when I heard, “Holy Christ, what happened to you on your back?”
It was Brenda, I quickly covered it and said, “Oh that, it’s nothing at all, didn’t know you are in here?” I said trying to make sure I end the topic.
“You are such a terrible liar and actor Bella! Tell me the truth, who did this to you? For this I’m so fighting the person now!!”, she said practising her fist for a fight.
I never knew Brenda has this trait of been funny at times.
“As I said, nothing at all okay, my body is just reacting over something I used yesterday” I hope she buys this.
“Well if you don’t feel like sharing, no problem at all, just be careful okay, because I know what to do now.” she said to me before leaving me alone in the room.
“That was close”.

The plates I carried in the kitchen fell off my hands beca I was getting tired, it got broken.
“Oh no, this can’t happen to me, I bend to gather the pieces unknown to me my top was revealing the scar and I felt someone lifting it and said.
“Why did you lie to me when I asked you what happened to your walking step?”, it was my boss’s voice and the way his voice sounded serious, I don’t know the kind of lie, I’m going to use this time around.
Maybe I should just change the topic, “Oh, I’m sorry sir, I broke the plates, please don’t tell your mom, you can deduct the money from my salary l’m receiving”, I said with my eyes down, unable to look at him.
“That is not what I asked you, Bella. Okay turn your back and raise your top. I want to see those scars properly.”, he said in a cold tone.
” But..”, he interrupted me saying, “This is an order from your boss”
I have never seen this kind of character from him, who will I tell him did this to me?
I questioned myself.
To be continued.
Kyle is vexing oh lol.
Who told Kyle about it?
