💧MIA POV💧
I’d spent a lot of money investigating to know about Ric’s new Mansion. I couldn’t get to sleep because I was too happy when I got his home address and I was
excited at the prospect of seeing him
I had a feeling of expectation and desire for something good to happen. Perhaps Ric might have changed his mind and my strong belief was that our wedding would come into being.
My eyes sparkled with anticipation as I drove off. The ride took about fifty-five minutes and as I arrived, two cars were pulling away from the house
It was a large and impressive house. The street was lined with enormous mansions where the rich and famous live.The mansion was built in 90 acres of beautiful, unspoilt environment and it had an atmosphere of genteel elegance
I trotted up to a tiny red booth adjacent to the gate and spoke to the gatekeeper, a tall figure with dyed white hair. I was challenged by him and I introduced myself but he said without Ric’s permission I couldn’t enter.
I was pleading with the gatekeeper, who continued to shake his head. Then I went into the car and brought out my own copy of our agreement letter and showed it to him together with the ring on my finger
“I’m Ric’s fiance” I said to him
For a moment he looked confused as his eyes stared at me suspiciously. After some time had passed, he nodded and opened the gate to let me in
I peered around me to see seven or more armed men about five meters away. The mansion was luxurious and larger with gardens, courtyards and water fixtures, like pools and fountain
That was when I knew the difference between being rich and being wealthy. Ric was tremendously wealthy, with city and country homes and companies, furnished with fine goods. I imagined myself being Mrs Nolan, all his properties would be mine
When I entered into the living room, my green eyes surveyed the room. It was elegantly furnished with paintings, pictures, drawings, mirrors, and with other things to correspond with cool marble floors.
There was a spacious lounge with its well-stocked bar, it was embellished in soft peachy colours and attractive cane-backed chairs. It was furnished to a very high standard
Then I saw someone in the dining room, lounged in her seat at the table, a plate and a cup of coffee before her. I slowly walked up to her. When she noticed my presence, she lifted her head, stretched her neck as if she intended to say something, but immediately, with affected indifference, began to run upstairs
“Aaliyah?” I mumbled
I just stood there dumbfounded, amazed and shocked, shaking my head in disbelief. In a deep silence and immovable I stared wide-eyed at her retreating figure, scarcely able to contain my thoughts.
“How come? I mean what is she doing in my fiance’s house?” I murmured
So I decided to go upstairs. I saw her pacing restlessly in her room. The bedroom was large and well furnished with a private bathroom and telephone. She looked at me, uneasiness replacing the glow in her eyes.
She looked so beautiful – glowing skin, almond eyes with a long black curly hair, a heart-shaped face and pouty lips. it was visible that Ric was taking good care of her. He was doing everything he could to nourish and protect Aaliyah but treating me like trash
“You ran away from home to live in my fiance’s house for nearly two months and Mum has not heard from you since. She’s worried about you not knowing that you’re here to cajole and seduce Ric. How could you go so far as to seduce my potential husband? I’m betrothed to that man of wealth and there’s nothing you can do about it” I yelled as I started to get possessive and jealous
“I shouldn’t be wasting my time talking to the wrong person, I have forgotten you’re dumb. Let me do myself a favor because my time is precious and shouldn’t be wasted” I uttered
I suddenly grasped her hand and dragged her out of the room, standing at the top of the stairs, I violently pushed her without second thought.
Then I descended the broad staircase, she had fell to the ground in a faint, bleeding from nose
“Aaliyah!” Someone screamed
I turned my head to watch him and a slap stung my cheek. He looked at Aaliyah
and he was annoyed over what happened. In fact angry was not the word for it- he was furious.
I risked a glance at his face, God, he was so cute but Ric was more than cute
There seemed to be no way to escape the anger of this furious man, he was grabbing me too roughly and I was simply uncomfortable with it. So I kicked his leg hard, unable to shake the man’s grip. He stared at me then shook his head and punched me as hard as he could in the nose. I shouted in pain and ran out of the house
“Why does he care so much about Aaliyah?” I thought
Tears welled up in my eyes as I jumped into the car, my hands were shaking, my thoughts so scattered, my breathing was ragged, I wasn’t able to think. Shaking my head, I stared at the steering wheel.
“Aaliyah I’m coming for you. I’m going to get revenge” I mumbled and drove off in a hurry
TBC…
