Aahna :

" You took longer than I expected! " Mrs. Melinda said as soon as I made my way back to the kitchen.

" Oh deary!  Did I frighten you? Was my voice too harsh,  why is there tear on your face. " I quickly wiped that away. I can't exactly tell her what I saw.

" Nothing there was some dust in my eyes. " I say calmly.

Her mother is a witch. No wonder everyone is so afraid of her. She seemed so pure and I even thought that someone like her got a child like Edward who is so hard to deal with but now with the new found information I don't know how to react with everything around me. This world is too cruel for me to survive here.

Guest have already left and I have gotten my paycheck as well. I was just leaving when for the second time I saw some I shouldn't.

Edward stood glaring at her mother and she flawlessly sat down having a cup of what seemed was coffee.

What are the odds that I can tip toe out without them finding or spotting me,  I mean this place is huge and have so many pillars, I can manage right?

" You blocked my cards? " it was not a question but a statement.

" I had a date arrangement for you with Ms. Annalisa, I heard you stood her up? " I couldn't help the laugh that threatened to come out but I did anyway.

I can really imagine Annalisa glaring whilst realizing that she was stood up.

" I'm not a kid to have play date. I don't like the girl,  hell,  I don't even want to stay engaged to her. " he shouts.

" You do what I say Edward, this marriage matters for the company and I will make it happen one way or other. So make it easy for both of us and choose wisely. Your cards will start once I receive a call from Annalisa saying how perfect her date was. " saying she left and I had successfully managed to reach the front door.

Just few steps more.

"What the fuck were you doing at my home? " oh God, busted.

I clenched my eyes shut and my fist formed on its own,  whereas my legs were in mid air as I turned around to the voice.

" Speak! " is he pmsing?

" No need to get your pants in twist,  I had part time job here and before you say anything I didn't knew it was your home until I came here so that been said. Goodbye. "

" Stop. You heard the conversation. If it leaks I'm going to make you life living hell! "

Like he haven't already done that. I rolled my eyes at him.

" Did you just - ha!  You dare rolling your eyes at me,  pathetic charity case! " I would have been angry but now that I know if his family condition I felt bad for the guy,  really.

So I did a stupid yet comforting thing,  I moved forward and hugged him tight. Whilst patting his back. This is so awkward,  he didn't even hugged me back.

Okay don't sound so hurt.

" I know it's hard,  but you gotta hang in there until the times comes. Stay strong. " I leave him after saying that and left.

Looks like money isn't everything. I smiled at the watchman before existing the premises.
