In less than an hour I pulled up Infront of our mansion. Few guards stood at the entrance. As I approached they bowed slightly trying so hard to keep their eyes away, this dress is definitely calling the attention I wanted,
Once in the family lounge, Emily and aunty Lizzy were seated at the far end, giggling to a video they were watching on Emilys phone clicking my heels more than I should I succeeded in getting their attention without even saying a word,
" What the hell are you doing here, Emily storm furiously towards me, as aunty Lizzy try to hold her back,
" You know not to lay those filthy hands of yours on me Emily. Remember Carden still has you wrapped around his fingers.
" Get my father. I gesture to one of the guards as they rush upstairs immediately.
" Don't feel so comfortable in that little marriage of yours Hazel, it just on paper, Carden won't protect you forever.
With that our eyes lock in an unyielding stare, neither of us blinking.
This two disgust me.
" Hazel.... Dad's voice echoed pulling us away from our staring competition.
He wraps me into a warm hug and pulls away when he noticed I wasn't hugging him back.
" Are you alright dear, has Carden being treating you well.
" Yes Dad, his the most intentional husband I've ever seen, he doesn't cheat like other men do.
Dad and aunty Lizzy lock eyes before looking back at my direction.
" Did I say something wrong Dad,
" No dear, he nodded, " am happy Carden has been treating you well.
" Cut to the chase Hazel why are you here, Emily said utterly frustrated.
" Does my presence intimidates you big sis, she looks at me shock, rage boiling within her.
" Mom is alive, I blurted taking a seat on the couch, watching the confuse expression on their faces.
" Hazel don't joke with things like that, aunty Lizzy's expression held something different, "fear"
" Don't tremble aunty Lizzy, she clearly is'nt interested in your husband, her eyes are fixed somewhere else.
" I will take it from there daughter, as expected mom made her grand entry,
Dad panicked as he held unto a chair supporting himself from falling. Aunty Lizzy had same expression while Emily stood frozen at a side unable to believe her eyes.
Claiming her position as the real Mrs Gray, she sway her hips seductively into the mansion she had once abandoned for over 13 years.
" I told you, I said adjusting myself to the arm chair, ready to watch the new drama unfold,
" Gianna.... Dad whispers moving closer and closer to her, untill his fingertips touch the fabric of mom's dress
" Your.. a.live, tears drop from the corner of his eyes and he cleaned them immediately to avoid looking weak before the mighty Gianna who stood tall with an unreadable expression.
" Old age doesn't look bad on you, Gray, she walks pass Dad and stood before aunty Lizzy who was still trembling in shock.
" Lizzy... we meet again, except not as a mistress but as my husband's wife.
" His not your husband Gianna, we are legally married now, you have no right to call him that.
" I would let the judge decide that if I were you, your marriage isn't valid as long as I am alive.
" Emily, I see you've grown into a beautiful Young woman, I see why Carden wasn't interested in you, you are definitely no match to my daughter. The fact that she kept addressing me as her daughter got me really furious. Emily beign Emily, couldn't hold her temper, and attack mom, mom was more stronger than her despite her age and was quick to yank her away,
" I won't have done that if I were you, the nerve of you to think you can attempt my daughters life and go court free, more held her by the hairs as she cried in pain. " You and that despicable mother of yours will pay for everything you did to my daughter.
" Let go of my daughter, aunty Lizzy pulls her away as Emily grabs her hair sobbing uncontrollably.
" What is Gianna talking about Lizzy,
You tried to kill my daughter,
Dad was furious, and his anger knew no bounds as he landed a whopping slap across aunty Lizzy's face.
With all the chaos going on Emily pounced on me unexpected,
" Emily.... A familiar voice echoed loudly, every one stood quite as Carden and his men made their way to the lounge,
" How many times have I warned you against laying those filthy hands of yours on my wife, Emily shuddered in fear as she crashes to the floor, begging. Cardens men grabs her by the arm and pulled her away.
" Mr Carden please, let my daughter go, she won't do it again please. aunty Lizzy pleaded but Carden ignored her as he made his way towards me,
" Time to go wifey,
He stood before me intimidating as always
" The show isn't over hubby, am not leaving untill am done.
" We are leaving and that's final.
" Are you going to force me,
He grabs me, carried me in his arms in a bridal style, I met mom's furious gaze as we vanish behind the doors.
