Chapter 22 DEATH
ARYA POV
You are not listening, nothing happened! “You know what, I don’t want to hear it, just pack your things and leave my house before I get back.” Please don’t do this. “Do I make myself clear? And you, I can’t believe we were friends, how could you do this to me?”
Nothing happened dude, “don’t touch me, just stay away from me or I will hurt you more than that, and so we are clear Tobias, we are no longer friends,” he walked away not listening to what I was saying.
“Don’t worry Arya, I will talk to him and I swear I didn’t touch, I can never, my body belongs to only Rebecca,” he wore his clothes and left hurriedly.
I went to pack my things only to see it had already been packed by the maids. How long have I been here, never mind, I am not wanted here anymore, he didn’t even let me see Isa, although I did see her struggling with someone to get to me, I tried to go in but his guards stopped me but Isa made it towards me, “mama, please come back, I know you didn’t do it,” did your father told you what happened? She nods, “daddy said he caught you and uncle T on your bed together” I thought he meant you were having a sleepover but he said you were doing grown-ups stuff on the bed that it was a bad thing. This made me pale immediately, how can he say that to a little girl, how stupid can he be, she held my face, “I know you did not do anything bad, I trust you mama, please come home,” she sniffles causing the tears I was holding back to rush out, “am sorry baby, I wish I could,” I hugged her “I promise we will be together, it might take a long time but we will live together” I removed the necklace around my neck which had a picture of me and Isa, I made it for her so she can keep, “remember to always keep it on and I will be there for you, I love you.” I kissed her forehead, she hugged me tight “I love you too mama.” I just hope he will listen to Tobias. I guess this is goodbye for now or is it forever.
I went back to living with Fernando’s parents, they were aware of what was going on, I didn’t have to explain to them again. I like them, they were good to me. I can’t say my life is better right now. I have been stressed and looking for a job hasn’t been easy. I had to lay low. I don’t want to continue working for Tobias after what happened. It will look more suspicious and confirm other people’s theories.
Fernando’s mother did offer a job at her flower shop but I felt guilty of her paying me after living with them for years, for free, even feeding us and sheltering us. Instead, I offered to work for her for free, but I didn’t give up on looking for work though, I just hate staying at home, it will make me think about Lucas and I hate it, it will make me depressed.
Today, another job search didn’t go as planned. I was so tired, I took off my shoes, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink. Saw a light on in Fernando’s room, he must have been visiting, he is never at home, always working, am sure Lucas had been stressing the poor guy. I went to check on him only to listen to him talk to someone about me. Yes, Arya, that’s her name, yes, she is no longer with him.
She didn’t accept the deal so I came up with an alternative. I know right, he doesn’t trust her, that Lucas for you, he doesn’t trust anyone. I don’t know what he sees in her, my sister is more beautiful but she is just a girl from the gutter that my parents have been feeding. If it were up to me, I would have sent them out a long time ago but I can’t do anything about it for now. My parents even want us to get married, how disgusting, I can’t marry that trash, that whore, she is so annoying. The glass I was holding in my hand fell off, he turned to look who caught him, when he saw me he smirked, I couldn’t take it, I slapped him, how can he do this to me, to us, we are family, am his cousin and Tobias, Lucas they are his friends.
I raised my hand to slap him again, but he held it. What do you think you are doing bitch? How could you, how could you do this to me. He is your friend. How can you do this to him? Well, he shouldn’t have rejected my sister, he will pay for it. I will let him know the kind of friend you are.
He laughed, he no longer trusts you, what makes you think he will believe you? Go tell him, when you are done, I will tell him how you tried to seduce me while I gave you shelter, and guess what he will say.
He will want you to leave my house and you will become useless. He wouldn’t do that. Why do you think no one will give you a job in this town? Lucas has ordered everyone not to after all he does run the town so everyone listens to him and only him.
Also, haven’t you noticed Tobias has been under a lot of stress lately. Lucas is busy buying his family shares, trying to run his family down all because of you. I mean your brother is sick, I won’t be surprised if you caused your parents death. After all, they were on their way to get you cake for your birthday. “Who are you to him?” You are a nobody.
