CHAPTER TEN To all New readers ![]() ![]() “No!” a voice shouted from the crowd. David looked and saw Isabella running towards them, causing him to stand and shield Kaylee. “No!” she shouted again as she held David by his shirt’s collar. “Please don’t do this to me. You can’t… shouldn’t. I’m begging you.” David looked at her face which was stained with mascara-filled tears. “I’m sorry, Izzy,” he whispered into her ears. “I hate you,” she yelled at him before running into the house. David saw her grandmother and his father both follow her into the house. He was truly sorry. He had not expected for things to turn out the way they did but he did hope that she would be alright after that moment. He turned around and faced Kaylee who had her hands folded as she stood unmoved at a spot. “So is it a yes?” He asked. “Were you dating her, David?” Kaylee asked as she unfolded her hands. “Kaylee, it isn’t how you think it is.” “No way,” she answered as she shook her head and ran inside to look for Isabella. *** The house was tricky. She had been inside before but now the memories of the location of various rooms had evaporated out of her head. She had entered the first room hoping it to be the guest bedroom but it had turned out to be the kitchen. She called out Isabella’s name as she further searched other rooms in the house. “Over here,” she heard her reply from a room upstairs. She quickly climbed the stairs almost missing some steps but regaining balance as she held the stair rail. She saw Isabella’s head pop out from a room and she walked towards it. She entered to see four chairs, three lined up to face one which was kept at a slight distance from the rest. Isabella, David’s father and another old woman occupied the three chairs, leaving the fourth lone. The old woman looked at her from head to toe, scrutinizing her appearance. “Sit,” The woman commanded. Kaylee obeyed and sat on the chair facing the three. “I’ve had a change of mind, Kaylee,” David’s father spoke up and crossed his legs. “You should accept his proposal.” Isabella sulked as she looked to the floor, arms folded. “What’s the condition?” Kaylee asked. The man smirked. “You’re catching up, Kay. But there’s no condition in this one.” “We are only watching out for the well-being of the boy,” the woman cut in. “Since you’re the one he wants, who are we to go against it?” The woman smiled. Kaylee felt uncomfortable at the woman smile. It hid a lot of evil behind it. It was hard to notice but she saw right through it. There was no way one’s eyes could show hatred and the lips showed love and acceptance. The features had to be aligned and right then, the hatred in her eyes surpassed her claimed ‘love’ on her lips. “But,” Isabella added. “You have to get married by the end of next week.” The Man and woman by her side looked at her, stunned. Their face twisted to a frown as if she had played outside an unwritten script but neither objected to her request and instead looked at Kaylee to see if she would. “Are you really alright with this, Izzy?” Kaylee asked the still sulking girl “Just do it. For me,” she replied. Kaylee looked at the faces of everyone. She didn’t trust them but somehow, she trusted Isabella. So she would say yes. *** David kissed Kaylee’s forehead as they lay together on the bed. He was happy that the moment was real. It was still funny how it had all played out. She had come running out of the house calling his name. “Do I still get to answer the question?” she had asked as she caught up with him where he was sitting. He grinned. “I guess third time’s the charm. Is it a yes?” She nodded. “What’s so funny?” she asked, bringing him out of his daydream. He sighed happily. “I just had a good memory.” “I hope we have better memories. Together.” “We will. Together.” They both locked themselves in an embrace *** “No, Nonna,” Isabella yelled at the old woman. “We are not doing that to the poor girl. The old woman looked at her lividly. “Isabella, this is for your own good.” “What good is ‘my good’ when it turns out to be another person’s bad?” “We’ve started this and we are going to end this,” the woman said as she walked out of the door and slammed it. Isabella fell to the floor and ran her hands through her hair. Her situation was messed up and she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Her mind was unsettled as it tried to recollect where the plan gone wrong. It was the engagement day, after David had proposed to Kaylee and she ran inside. Her grandmother along with David’s father had followed her and begged her to follow them to the guest room. They had told her about ‘the plan’, which was to go on with David’s wedding plan but to make Kaylee disappear. She had been so consumed by jealously she had not realized what they meant by disappear or when she had told Kaylee to have the wedding early so she could ‘disappear’ quickly. She folded herself on the floor and rocked her body. It was unlike her to make such mistakes as she was a person who wouldn’t even hurt an ant. There was no one to help her so she had to take matters into her hands. She would correct her mistakes. She didn’t know how at the moment but somehow, she would. 5 Likes 5 Shares |

Messed up family! Kill Kaylee and see what love is capable of. Isabella, before they also send you packing for ranting about "the plan", make sure you expose each and everyone of them ![]() Papa David, I hate you more especially. Why cause your son pain, for the second time even? Mtcheeeeeew! 2 Likes |
