“WHY ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT?!?” I screamed because I couldn’t tolerate my conflicting emotions any longer. Anger, anguish, and bitterness. They appear to have agreed with me. I’ve been going about in a shell for a long time, but I’m not sure why since others take advantage of my condition.
“Winter, I told you. It’s all about-”
“WHAT IS IT ABOUT? COMPANY? THAT’S WRONG! YOU COULD HAVE INFORMED ME! I WILL GO TO ANY LENGTH FOR MY PARENTS’ COMPANY!” I moved my feet closer to the side table. I grabbed the lampshade and tossed it in front of her.
“AHHH! Oh my goodness! ARCHER!!!” She sobbed as a result of what I did. She was hysterical with the scream and held her two ears.
Archer’s threatening and concerned eyes confronted us as the door slammed open. He sped up his speed and stared at his mother to check if she has a wound on her hand or arm, then he embraced and kissed her on the head.
When Aunt Helena calmed down, he threw me a harsh and piercing stare. He shoved me up against the wall.
“What’s your issue?”
I yanked his hand away from my shoulder, which had been pressed and squeezed. When I took it off, I groaned in my head. Archer’s grasp appeared to be excessively tight, causing some pain. His fingers were also jobbed in a way and rasping there.
I answered with a harsher and sharper stare, gritting my teeth in rage. “You? What exactly are you doing?” I even looked at them with disgust, since I couldn’t believe what they had done.
I appreciated Archer’s concern about the company because he has an inheritance to deal with. What I didn’t understand was for them to betray me and take advantage of what happened to me. I then turned to gaze at Aunt Helena. Before I proceeded, Archer followed my eyes.
“No. Everyone! What exactly are you doing? Lying to me? Tricking me into a ridiculous marriage? And fool me as if I was an idiot!” I continued, cynically laughing as if something was piercing my heart. “You all made me believe all of your falsehoods. Aren’t you disgusted with it?”
My last sentence was full of resentment. It was as if my heart was getting cold. I can’t stand it because of the dagger that was buried.
Archer was silent, but he still didn’t take his eyes off me.
When we were all quiet, I rubbed my clothes as if there was a virus clinging to them. I adjusted the strap of the bag on my shoulder and then stepped forward. When I had taken a step past Archer, I spoke. Loud enough for the three of us to hear.
“I’ll make sure you regret doing this to me. I’ll let you realize that doing this to me is a mistake.” I kept a brave expression on my face as I stared at Aunt Helena.
As I walked downstairs, the head maid said to me, “We’ve replaced the portrait, Ms. Winter,” She took a step back and pointed to the image.
My parents’ portrait has returned. I didn’t smile at her because I thought it would be uncomfortable and insincere, but I thanked her with my two hands.
“Thank you for remaining even though the original owners of our home have already gone.” I also had a peek at a few maids. “I appreciate you all as well. I hope you could do one more thing for me.”
“Yes?” She bowed, waiting for my instruction.
I shot a death stare at Aunt Helena and Archer, who were walking downstairs, “Kick them out. I don’t want them to stay in my parents’ mansion.”
“How dare you!” Archer yelled. He wanted to punch me but my servants stopped him from approaching me. I coldly stared Aunt Helena and Archer were thrown out of the gate, along with their belongings, scattered on the ground. Their portrait was smashed into several pieces and there were some footprints on Archer’s face. How ironic.
“You gonna pay for this, you bitch!” Archer threatened me before packing up their stuff and leaving.
After that, I bid my goodbyes to the maids. Grandpa Lino drove me to Randall’s house and mine.
When we arrived there, I saw a white raptor car parking at the gate. Randall’s car remained parked.
The laughing from the kitchen resonated in the lobby as soon as I walked through the door. It was a female voice. I was going to glance to see who it was when I noticed someone in my path. It’s mommy Amelia.
I gave her a bored expression. I wasn’t in the mood to accept the words that she was about to hurl at me.
“Do you hear them, don’t you? Why would you bother them?” She gave me a teasing smile. She’s not wearing much makeup or jewelry right now, but she’s wearing black business pants with a yellow long sleeve that reaches up to her tummy and is a little fitting.
“Bother? Who?” I had no idea who she was referring to.
When she didn’t take the sneer off her lips, I realized who she was referring to. Randall didn’t show up to work today, and he’s only here to have fun with his ex.
Is there nothing good to do with my day? Even knowing that, it appears like someone is still encouraging me to be certain. I believe their laughter is absurd here.
I also teased mommy Amelia to show that I am not pleased. “As far as I know, this is still Randall and my house. He can let anyone in and so can I. Every corner of this house belongs to me. I can go wherever I want. Therefore, you have no right to stop me from entering my house.”
I had no time to receive her words. Yes, and she revealed the truth to me, but that was not enough for her to belittle my character.
I turned my back on her and started walking towards the kitchen. She tried to stop me and followed. Just as she was about to pull my arm, two people came out.
It was Charlotte chasing after Randall. The man grabbed her hand, preventing her from smearing icing on his face.
What a beautiful sight
