🍂Chapter 91

____________________________🌱

“Who asked Ben to disconnect the CCTV from 10:28am to 12:31pm?” She asked through clenched teeth and even the blind could tell she was furious.
“Did Ben told you that?” Ethan asked,prepared to fire Ben immediately.
“He didn’t,i saw it all from my laptop. The footage suddenly went blank from 10:28am to 12:31pm”

“And you concluded I’m behind it?” Ethan contradicted.
“I knew you were. Ben can never disconnect the CCTV without your consent” Carrle stated.
“Have you asked Ben what went wrong?” Ethan asked.
“I do not need to!” Carrle dropped her bag.
“That’s dumb! Why did you come straight to me? Am i in charge of the security footage?!” Ethan half yelled and even Irene almost believed he knew nothing about it.

Wow.

“You do not have the right to come to me without confirming if I’m truly behind it and were you checking the house activities on your laptop? You asked Ben to connect the footage to your laptop? Why would you do that?” Ethan asked.
“I needed to know what the hell is going on!”
“And what the hell is going on!” Ethan shouted.
“I can’t believe you were spying on me” Ethan said, looking disappointed.
“I wasn’t spying on you Ethan, i was spying on Irene cause i do not trust her! Something seems off about you Irene!” Carrle said to Irene’s face,who swallowed hærd.

“I needed evidence so you could truly see she’s not to be trusted..” Carrle was saying.
“I told you she’s trustworthy!” Ethan slammed.
“My intuition is never wrong Ethan, there’s something about her. You need to believe me, let’s get her out of this house” Carrle said desperately and Irene tried her best to look normal.
“Why?” Ethan asked. “And did you find anything suspicious about her when you turned ‘Ben’ overnight?”
“I didn’t but if the damn footage hadn’t gone blank, I’m so sure i would have ”
“And aren’t you supposed to be in Mexico?” Ethan asked.
“I cancelled my flight”
“Because the footage went blank?”
“Well…yeah”

“Carrle,you cancelled your flight because you wanted to confront me about a blank footage? Unbelievable.” Ethan furrowed his brow.
“Ethan,why do i feel you know about this” Carrle said.
“Then go confirm from Ben… you’re seriously pissing me off right now Carrle” Ethan said.
“I..i should…excuse you” Irene said, slowly getting to her feet.
“No, wait” Ethan said.
“I should go confirm from Ben? Like you wouldn’t have made up something for him to tell me” Carrle said.
“Whatever” Ethan scoffed. “And you know i can have you arrested for intruding in my home’s privacy by connecting the CCTV to your laptop”
“Ohh..really” Carrle laughed. “Go ahead, i can see you’re going out of your senses”
“Why are you so insecure about her ?”
“Im only trying to watch out for you Ethan, she’s going to ruin you, i can feel it! You need to stop this f-cking love and look into her, she also knows what I’m talking about” Carrle said, watching Irene closely for any slightest change in her expression but Irene’s face remained the same even though she was panicking inwardly.

She had followed Tom’s advise on maintaining a normal expression.

“I do not know what you’re talking about” Irene said.
“You do!” Carrle yelled.
“I don’t!” Irene yelled back.
“You do!”
“You’ve been monitoring my movement in this house like your life depends on it! And yet you haven’t found anything suspicious about me, you’re not trying to watch out for Ethan! You just hate me, that’s it!” Irene said pointedly and Carrle was surprised at her outburst.

She turned to Ethan…”it’s so clear you gave her the audacity to stand up to me. Wow”
“She’s not a kid..she needs no permission to stand up to you. You both should probably be the same age” Ethan cleared.
“Oh..my..goodness, if love makes one this dumb then i don’t ever want to fall in love. Cause you’ve obviously turned dumb Ethan,so dumb that it’s starting to irritate me” Carrle sighed angrily.
“Whatever” Ethan said looking unconcerned.
“Ethan! Whatever you did during that period the footage went blank,i promise you I’m gonna dig it out. Motherf-cker!” Carrle picked her bag and angrily left the room.

“Good thing you stood up to her!” Ethan said to Irene.
“Really?” Irene smiled.
“Yeah, she’s always telling me not to trust you when she didn’t even find anything suspicious about you,that simply means she hates you” Ethan said.
“Of course…she’s still mad over Harold’s rejection,i guess that’s the reason she’s being this way” Irene said.
“Exactly! Harold had told her he still loves you” Ethan said.

“What! He should better stop whatever love he has for me, im with you now” Irene smiled, holding his hand.

“Oh my, you’re such a sweet lady Irene, i wonder why Carrle can’t see that” Ethan said, drowning in Irene’s love.
“Her hatred for me won’t let her see it” Irene rolled her eyes.
“Who cares if she hates you, once the baby is confirmed mine, you’ll become the lady of this house and you can do to her whatever pleases you” Ethan said.
“Really?” Irene feigned amazement.
“Of course, and..you said we are going to k-ss soon” Ethan said,not able to take his eyes off her l-ips.

“C’mon, not yet but i promise I’m going to give you a k-ss once the baby is confirmed yours” Irene said.
“Really?”
“Yeah” Irene nodded.
“You can as well give me the k-ss now cause the baby is mine” Ethan smiled confidently..
“Why are you so sure?” Irene asked.

“Uh..i just know the baby would turn out to be mine. Harold has a child already..” Ethan said.

‘So lame’ Irene commented inwardly.

“Well..until the doctor confirms it,then..i’ll give you a k-ss to seal and celebrate our union” Irene said sweetly, licking her bottom lip.
“Oh my” Ethan sighed dreamily.
“I can’t wait!” He scre-med.

‘Lousy!’

“I’m starting to love you more and more cause you trust me even when Carrle is tryna make you not to. Keep trusting me okay? and you’ll earn all of my ‘loveeee’ ” Irene said.
“Okay,my first lady. I’ll trust you till eternity” Ethan said.

‘No, you’ll trust me till you get locked up’

“Thank you for trusting me” Irene said.
“My utmost pleasure,dearest” Ethan said, gripping her hand tightly and Irene thought he had gone crazy.
He stared into her eyes affectionately and Irene sighed, wondering why he looked nothing rom-ntic but scary!!!.

Carrle walked into the bathroom,peeled off her clothing and got into the bath tub that was bubbling with warm soapy water.
She was so pissed that her body shook.
She tapped her finger on the bath panel thoughtfully.
She had thought Irene was the only one hiding something,looks like Ethan is involved also.
She really needs to stop him before he spills their secrets to Irene cause he’s helplessly in love now.
But it’s just so annoying to know there’s no way to stop him from trusting Irene without providing evidence or Ethan won’t listen to her.

She had suspected Irene wasn’t really here because she now hated Harold.
She has her own apartment..why coming here just because she now hate Harold.
How could she even have believed that from the start,she was so occupied with sed-cing Harold that she hadn’t thought straight!

She hated Irene for so many reasons.
First,she still has Harold’s heart! And even Ethan’s heart also! leaving her with nobody.
The only men in her life loves her!
Well.. she’ll be dieing soon with the damned baby of hers.
The damned baby that caused all these!
And then she’ll have Harold and Ethan fighting for her love… that’ll be so interesting.. Carrle smiled at the thought.
She had made a great decision poisoning the packs of juice, now she’ll have Harold and Ethan to herself alone.
Irene would leave and they’ll all forget about her after some months.
But she really needs to find a suspicious evidence about Irene real quick, so Ethan can would make her leave before she dies in this house.
`
Carrle walked out of the bathroom in a white robe with a towel tied around her w-t hair.
Her five personal maids bowed as she sat on the dressing chair.
She removed the hair towel and Aimee, one of her maids plugged the hair dryer and started drying her hair immediately.
Ravin,another of her personal maid,attended to her nails while Susan, who’s a fashionista prepared her outfit. She knows Carrle won’t be going out,so she’s to prepare a simple wear.
Emily and Jessie stood at a reasonable distance,ready to go on any errand.
Carrle stared at herself in the mirror as her hair was getting dried.
She looks equally beautiful, why are the men all over Irene?
Could it be because she wears no make up?
Do men love natural ladies these days?

“I won’t be wearing makeup for now Susan” Carrle said.
“Yes Madam Carrle” Susan bowed.
They were surprised but didn’t dare show it, they knew Carrle rarely do without make up, except when she’s going to bed.
“Jessica, get Ben for me immediately” Carrle said.
“Okay Madam Carrle” Jessie bowed and walked out of the room.
Ravin proceeded to Carrle’s toe nails and then brought out a set of nail polish when she was done.
“Which would you like ma’am?” Ravin asked.
“What’s the color of the dress I’m putting on Susan?” Carrle asked.
“One-piece black stretch jumpsuit” Susan said.
“Okay,use the black glossy one” Carrle said to Ravin who bowed.

Aimee was braiding Carrle’s hair when Jessica walked in with Ben.

“Good afternoon Madam Carrle” Ben bowed.
“What went wrong with the CCTV, it was blank for some hours” Carrle said.
“It w..” Ben was saying.
“Say nothing but the truth” Carrle said sternly.
“It was system error ma’am” Ben said and Carrle turned to him.
“System error? That has never happened” Carrle said, looking at him suspiciously.
“It has, ma’am, severally. You wouldn’t know because today is actually the first time i connected it to your laptop,it happens when the system is fluctuating and it always take a while before it becomes stable” Ben said convincingly.

“So..you mean, whatever happened during the period the system was fluctuating would be wiped off?” Carrle asked.
“Yes ma’am”
“Is there no way it can be restored?” Carrle asked.
“No ma’am”
“That’s bad” Carrle sighed.
“You can leave” She said to him.
“Okay Madam Carrle” He bowed and turned to leave.
“If i find out what you told me is not true,I’m not going to spare you,trust me” Carrle said and Ben nodded.
“Anyway,get me one of Ethan’s bodyguards on your way out” She said and watched him leave.

Looks like he’s saying the truth but she’s not fully convinced yet.
“Emily,get me a glass cup of water” Carrle sighed.
“Okay Madam Carrle” Emily bowed before rushing out of the room.
Ryan walked in and bowed before Carrle.
“Ryan .. how are you?” Carrle smiled.
“Fine ma’am” Ryan said, maintaining his calm expression.
“Okay, i want to ask you a question and I’ll be glad if you tell me the truth” Carrle said.
Ryan panicked, thinking Carrle already knew about what he told Irene.
But if she knew,she wouldn’t be smiling.
She would have probably ordered him to get killed immediately.

“What happened while i was gone?” Carrle asked.
“Huh?”
“I mean..what happened? Who came in? Who went out? Like..what the hell happened?” Carrle asked with a sigh.
“Nothing unusual happened ma’am, no one came in,none went out” Ryan answered.

Carrle studied him to see if he was telling lies but his expression remained the same.
She sighed frustratedly..maybe nothing had happened.
Maybe it was just system error like Ben had said.

“Are you sure?” She asked Ryan.
“Yes Madam Carrle” Ryan said.
“Alright,you can leave” She said, he bowed and turned to leave when Emily walked in with a glass cup of chilled water in a small tray.
She was breathing heavily as she approached Carrle and Carrle knew instantly that something was wrong.
“Will you stop breathing in my water! What’s wrong?” Carrle asked.
“Madam Carrle, i just heard from one of the cooks that Irene ordered Christiana to empty every pack of strawberry juice in the kitchen…into the sink!” Emily said.
“What!”

🌷

Irene walked into her room and wondered where Christiana was.
She picked her phone on the bed,where Christiana had dropped it and then unlocked it..
It displayed the pictures Christiana had been viewing.

Where was she then?
Ohh..she might be in her room, probably using the restroom.

Irene smiled as she sat on her couch.
You’re such a good actor Irene,you gained Ethan’s trust already. Totally.
She never thought it’ll be this easy and fast.
Carrle seems to be the only hærd nut now and she knows she’s watching her every move so she can find something suspicious about her and then inform Ethan so he would stop whatever trust he has for her.

She should be very very cautious now so Carrle won’t ruin their plan cause she seems so determined.

She wished Carrle hadn’t walked in when Ethan was about telling her the similar plan Alex and Marie had helped him carry out successfully.
She can’t ask him again today cause he’ll really wonder why she desperately wants to know and start getting suspicious like Carrle wanted.
There’s still three days to go…
Ahhh…she’s really craving strawberry juice.
“You need to start taking vanilla flavor, strawberry is out of the picture for now” Irene said to her baby.

“Okay mummy” She said to herself in a tiny voice and then laughed.

“Ma’am” Christiana called, walking in.
“Tiana” Irene turned to her.
“Madam Carrle requested to see me and i went to her, i wanted to inform you before going but i thought you might be having an important conversation with Mr Ethan and i wouldn’t have wanted to interrupt ” Christiana said.
“Okay..what did she call you for?” Irene asked curiously.

“Seems she was informed about the juice you ordered me to empty in the sink”
“Damn!” Irene sighed.
“But there’s nothing to worry about,she asked me the reason you ordered me to do such and i said the only thing that came to my mind at that moment..” Christiana paused.
“What?” Irene asked anxiously.

“I told her you discovered the juices has passed their expiration date…” Christiana said.
“Wow!” Irene sighed, exactly what she had planned to say but Tom had said Carrle would find out.
Geez.
“I know that was a bit petty but that was the only thing i could say at that moment,if i didn’t talk immediately,she would suspect you knew”
“Thank you Tiana,you did the right thing. Thank you so much” Irene said.
“And she asked of the empty packs so she could be sure the juices truly expired”
“And what did you tell her?” Irene asked.
“I told her i disposed of them…like i truly did but im afraid she might ask her workers to go dig it out and bring it to her”
“Gosh!” Irene sighed.

🍣🍣

“What’s this? What’s going on?” Carrle asked after seeing Christiana serve Irene a different meal for lunch.
“I was craving chicken casserole” Irene said.
“And why did Christiana serve it to you? Aren’t there cooks to do that?” Carrle asked.
“Because she made it” Irene said.
“What! She wasn’t employed as a cook! Why would she make your meals?” Carrle asked wondering what was going on.

First the packs of juice she had poisoned were emptied into the sink, and now Christiana made Irene’s lunch and even served her.

“She’s my personal maid,which means i can get her to do anything i want, i discovered she’s a great cook and that’s why I’ll allow her to start making my meals and serving it” Irene said.
“Ohh” Carrle nodded, now sure something was indeed going on.
“Christiana wasn’t employed as a cook so she’s not allowed to make your meals,we have enough cooks already. This should be the last time you try to make a meal in my kitchen Tiana” Carrle said, authoritatively.

“You do not have power over her anymore Carrle,she’s my personal maid now, she’ll do whatever i order her to” Irene said.
“I employed her, and i stand by my words,she’s not allowed to make a meal in my kitchen”
“She’s allowed to..and it’s not your kitchen,you do not own this house” Irene said.
“Whatever..She’s not allowed to”Carrle yelled.

“Enough! This is my house Carrle and Irene has the same right you have here. You allow your personal maids do whatever you want them to do,why don’t you want Irene to do whatever she wants with her personal maid also.” Ethan said and then turned to Christiana.
“Do whatever Irene wants okay?,she’s your boss” Ethan said and Christiana bowed.

“Ohh… really” Carrle said, pushing back her chair.
She got to her feet.
“Trust me Ethan, the lady you trust so much will turn out to be your Achilles heel” She said and stared at Irene menacingly before walking out.

“We found the packs of juice ma’am” One of her bodyguards said and she stopped walking.

Tbc…
