🌼CHAPTER 18🌼
🌺STEPHANIE’S POV🌺
My heart raced as she asked the question angrily, I’ve never seen her this angry before.

Y. Y..yes, i stuttered and she landed a heavy slap on my cheek. How dare you!!! She yelled.

I’m sorry ma’am, I was only trying to get back at her for poisoning my food a day before the completion.

I almost died that day and she left me wallowing in pain telling me that I ain’t gonna make it to the competition. I’m really sorry ma’am, I didn’t know it’d turn the other way round… I pleaded on my knees

Get out of my house this instant, I don’t wanna see you in my house when I return. I can’t believe the girl I’ve been feeding all these years made an attempt to kill my daughter by poisoning her.

“I never knew you’re such a beast. Leave now before I have you arrested” she warned and left the room after Roland had carried Ashley to the car.

Oh Lord! Why am I this unfortunate, why does it have to be when I decided to take my revenge, no one knew when she did hers to me… I thought

I packed my baggages and waited for them outside the house.

All will be well okay? We’ll both plead to her when she returns, I know you did it for revenge but she doesn’t know her daughter is more wicked and heartless than she thinks of her… The gatekeeper said as I sat with him

I hope she forgives me, I will never repeat what I did. I know She’ll realize her mistakes one day… I replied

My heartbeat increased as I saw the family drive into the compound in the evening.

“Good evening ma’am” I greeted as she alighted from the car.

And what on earth are you still doing in my house? You heartless bitch!!! She asked already getting angry as she sighted me.

Ma’am I’m so sorry, please forgive me, I promise never to repeat such. I was only mad at her for trying to ruin my life the day she poisoned my food too, I never knew it’d turn out bad. Ashley please I’m so sorry, help me beg mom… I said trying to touch her cloth but she shot me a glare

You poisoned my daughter’s food because she did the same to you, isn’t that a hint on how far you can go to kill her if she tries hurting you? Leave now and never come back. I’m going to that school to nullify every contract I’ve signed with the school about you. You’re nothing but an ungrateful bitch… She said and stormed away.

Can you now see that you’ve got no hope to be fortunate in your life? You tried to venge for what I did to you and it turned out to be you that was affected. Leave my house now before I do something bad to you. She warned

I dragged my baggages outside and stayed at the front of the house to cry my heart out.

Where will I start from, why is my life like this? I said as I cried aloud.

I’m glad she didn’t collect the phone she gave me from me, I’ll try searching for the online vacancies that’s closer to this place.

I checked the time and it was half past nine, I can’t sleep in the open I’m scared of something happening to me in the middle of the night. I thought, just then a thought of going to sleep in a church popped up in my head.

I stood up immediately, not wasting time any longer.

I got to a church I found in the next street. I stood outside to examine if anyone was watching, I sighed when I noticed I’m good to go.

I put my baggages in a corner and shifted the heavy chair at my front a bit before spreading cloth to lie on.

My eyes were closed when I felt the light turned on. I opened my eyes and saw a tall figure standing before me.

Aaaaaaaargh! I scre-med and sat up immediately obviously frightened because I didn’t expect to see anyone, not after observing the environment.

Relax! I wasn’t expecting to see anyone here, I’m sorry for scaring you like that…I’m Victor, this is where I sleep. I’m just returning from work and came in to sleep only for me to see your shadow

You can sleep back, I’m sorry for interrupting your sleep… He said

Alright! I manage to say in a whisper.

I laid back and closed my eyes hoping for sleep to come take over me.

🌞THE NEXT DAY🌞
I managed to get up early, I looked around the church and luckily for me, there was a bathroom. I took my bath and dressed for school before the day breaks.

I arranged my bags properly in a corner so it wouldn’t be a burden for anyone in the church.

I went to the bank first to deposit my money in my account before going to school.

I was queried for coming late for school but was lucky to escape punishment.

I was about leaving the gatekeeper’s presence when I sighted Ashley and her mom walking out of the administration office.

“Good morning ma’am” I greeted as I walked up to them.

Did I not tell you not to show your face anywhere I am? Leave before I do something bad to you… She warned and I excused myself.

Guys, it’s seems we’ve finally succeeded in getting rid of the unwanted one here, Stephanie no longer works In my house.

She tried to kill me by poisoning my food and that got mom really angry, so she chased her out of the house, mom came this morning to inform the school of what’s happening. I’m sure she won’t be able to afford the school fees after this term’s own… Ashley said to the entire students in our class

“Let’s get rid of her finally” Irene said and they all stood up and searched for things to throw at me.

“Throw anything at me and see how dangerous I can be” I said and they all looked at me in astonishment.

Wait! did anyone else hear what she just said? I mean did you just hear the poor threaten the rich? Ashley asked them as she walked to my front.

Wow! I can see you’ve become courageous overnight, but imma show you how dangerous I could be too. Class! go ahead… She ordered and they raised their hands to throw what they’ve got at me.

I pulled her back with her hair and hit her head on the wall.

Try taking another step, and see what’s gonna happen to you… Kendrick said as irene and flora charged towards me.

I smirked as I saw them stop immediately he said the statement.

Steph! Let’s go of her… He said staring at me as I boil in anger

🌼CHAPTER 19🌼
🌺STEPHANIE’S POV🌺
You don’t deserve her attention, just leave her alone. I’m sure she’d understand now that she can no longer treat you like trash… Kendrick said and I release her.

That was fabulous! I can’t believe you actually did that. OMG! I love how you put her in her place, Tessa said as we walked out of the class.

I just needed her to know her days of maltreating me is over now. I’ve got nothing to do with her family now, so I’m free to stand up for myself, I can’t tolerate any act of disrespect and bully from her again… I said

Still I’m so surprised and I’m sure they wouldn’t have recovered from the shocking experience by now. But how come she chased you out, what happened exactly? she asked

I was cleaning her room when I coincidentally came across a bottle in her drawer. I read the information on the bottle, that was how I knew it’s what she poisoned my food with. I had to steal it and poisoned her food too, but I was so unfortunate to have been noticed.

Her mom was really pissed at me not even listening to my reason for doing that, all she did was call me names and throw me out of the house.

I know this would definitely be a stepping stone for me, I won’t suffer in vain… I narrated and sniffed back my tears.

I’m sorry about that, but are you still gonna be staying in the church? And what do you intend to do now that she’s stopped being your sponsorer?

I don’t know yet, but I think I’ll start searching for a job vacancy. I really want to conclude my secondary education… I replied sadly

How I wish I could be of help, but I happen to be a maid in a house too… She said and I patted her.

It’s okay dear! all these will be over oneday, I’m sure of that… I said

“Let’s meet at the garden, we need to talk” I read the message from Kendrick that popped on my screen.

“Tessa please go ahead, I’ll join you soon. I need to be somewhere”

What happened exactly and why didn’t you tell me about it when we talked yesterday? Kendrick asked as I settled down beside him

I didn’t wanna bother you with that, I know you might try to interfere and it might cause something else. I’m sorry for that… I answered

Fine! Tell me about it… He said and i narrated my ordeal to him

So you slept in the church, oh no! I shouldn’t be talking to you right now. You’ve hurt me really bad… He said and stood up, but I held him back. “I’m sorry” I apologized

Fine! I’ll forgive you if you’d accept my offer of living with me… He said and my eyes w¡dened

You know we both can’t live together, we’re of opposite s€× it won’t be ideal for us to live together. What do you think people would say about us? I said

I have three different bedrooms, you’d be staying in anyone of your choice, and who cares about what people would say, weren’t they in support of Ashley when she did all she could to chase you out of her house?

It’s fine if you choose not to come over, but make sure you always stay safe. You might be struggling for survival, but your health and safety is really important.

“I love you what you did earlier, that’s very good of you, I need to get going, we’ll talk later” he said

“Alright” I replied

I can see you’ve lost your job and your chance of studying in this school. Carlos said suddenly as I passed through a corner in the hallway, thereby making me scared

Mtcheeeew! I hissed. What do you want from me? I asked giving him a stern look.

Well! I have a job for you, I’d love to employ you as my personal maid at home, trust me I’ll pay you well. We have other maids but I feel you’ve been destined to be a maid in your life, you know about the job very well, so I’m certain you’ll do your job very well… He answered

You’re very stupid for stopping me to tell me that. I said and he grabbed my hand.

Did you just call me stupid, like you just insulted me? Oh wow! I can see you’ve got some nerves.

Ouch! He cried and released his grip when I stood on my toes and hit my head on his nose. That’s what you get for trying to mess with me, I guess you all haven’t gotten the message I’ve been trying to pass onto you. “I’m no longer the Stephanie you used to bully” I said and gave him a kick on his groin before walking away.

🌞Days Later🌞
I was on my way to the church when I sighted the person I never expected to come across again in my life which is the husband of the woman I grew up with who made attempts to rape me few years back.

wow! Look who’s grown up really well. He said as he walked up to me.

“Good afternoon sir” I greeted giving him a stern look

Afternoon, I can see you’ve become more beautiful. So you’ve finally made it in life, this is the uniform of the rich kids school… He said

“Have a nice day sir” I said trying to ignore him.

I walked away, Hoping he wouldn’t follow me and he didn’t.

I got to the church and changed my clothes. I brought out my phone to start searching for the jobs I could do.

So you actually live in a church” I heard someone say and I flinched.

“Oh no! Not again” I muttered out of frustration.

If you hadn’t ran away back then, I’m sure your life would’ve turned to a very pleasant one. All I needed to do was have a taste of you and I can allow you live peacefully in my house. Can’t you see how pretty you are? You’re so irresistible… He said

I could take you back to my house and give you the pleasant life you’ve always wanted, just promise me you’re gonna give me what I want. He said

I can’t believe you still remain the Casanova you once were, I wonder how your wife has been coping with you, you saw me again for the first time in years and here you are blurting out nonsense. You’re a total disgrace to fatherhood… I said and stood up from where I was sitting.

Come back here, where do you think you’re going? He said and pulled me back.

He raised my hand up and landed a hot slap on his face.

How dare you!!! He yelled and tried touching me but was stopped by Kendrick who entered.

He didn’t say a word to anyone, all he did was pack my belongings out of the church.

How did you know where I am? I asked as he came back in,side the church.

He ignored me and carried me on his shoulder instead and went out of the church leaving the dumb man alone.

Huh? I muttered as he lifted me like I was a kid.

TBC…

Kendrick ooo😂
