HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

HERA’s POV

I boiled with rage as I stomped into the kitchen.

Emily and three other chefs turned to look at me as I stomped in.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“What!” I frowned deeply and glared at them.

One of them hissed and they continued with whatever they were doing.

I shook my body and tamped my feet noisily on the floor.

I was filled with so much anger and rage.

How dare she?

How dare Delaney talk to me in that manner?

And that male – because he’s beautiful he thinks that he’s a god.

Humph!

But wait, if I saw them together – in the same house, does that mean they live together or does Delaney work there?

How did she even end up in the house of the male?

I should have met him first – then maybe he”d have looked at me with care in his eyes the way he had stared at Delaney.

I don’t know much about feelings but I know that the male cares for Delaney and he’s ready to protect her.

Only that is enough to get me mad.

I want to be the one that he”d look at with care and hold so closely and defend me, and not Delaney.

He’s beautiful and I really want to be close to him.

Why did Delaney meet him first?

But it’s never too late. I don’t care if the necklace is missing but I”d definitely get that male to look at me with care and protection in his eyes.

But he seems not to like me – his reaction towards me showed that he doesn’t want to look at me that way, but I won’t give up.

I’ll try my best and I’ll become close to him.

I’m gonna beg Emily to help me beg the person who employed her to also employ me, so I”d be able to see him all the time.

I’m gonna make sure I start working in this house – I don’t care about the kind of work but as long as I get to see him all the time, that’s all that matters.

CHELSEA’s POV

After the B3 girls finally confessed, they were told to call their respective parents.

They had deny about it, but when the recorder was played, they shook with fright.

They were utterly gob-smacked and shocked.

Brianna was so scared and I had to hold myself so I wouldn’t burst out laughing because of how they looked – shocked and resigned.

*

After whatever the police did and our attorney, the B3 girls were found wanting and they were sentenced to a year in juvenile detention and they are not to partake in the upcoming examinations.

Their parents were disappointed in them and I was surprised that they didn’t even do anything to make sure they were released.

My mom was angry and she had wanted the girls to spend a good amount of time in the juvenile detention but our attorney was able to calm her down.

Mom called the principal and principal said she would publicly expell the girls and let the other students know of their bad deeds.

I was more than happy.

The girls couldn’t help but cry regretfully.

ALICIA’s POV

“Alicia!” I jolted out of my reverie as I heard mom’s loud voice behind me.

Her voice had made me shocked and so, I held my chest and breathed in and out to calm my nerves.

“Mom, you scared me!” I exclaimed with a pout.

‘really? What were you thinking about that you just zoned out? I called you severally but you wouldn’t even shake a bit.” Mom sighed and sat beside me on the couch.

“Yeah. Nothing really, just thinking about school.” I lied smoothly.

“Are you sure?” Mom looked at me suspiciously.

“Yes mom. What else should I think of?” I laughed nervously.

I don’t want her to know what I was thinking about because I know she”d be mad at me.

And that’s the last thing I”d want from her – for her to be angry with me.

“Okay, if you say so. Dinner is ready.” She smiled lightly and stroked my hair affectionately.

“Okay mom.” I smiled.

I stood up and mom did too, and we both walked to the dinning table.

I sighed for the umpteenth time as I stared at the strange necklace in my hand.

I had suddenly thought of the necklace and I had brought it out.

When we were looking for money to treat grandma, I had tried selling the necklace but the amount that few persons I saw wanted to buy it for was too small.

The money wouldn’t even be enough for my transport fare to school and so, I decided to keep it.

It’s of no importance to me and I don’t even know why I’m still keeping it.

As I continued to stare at the necklace, I suddenly thought of Xavier…

Why don’t I give it to him?

I’ll tell him it’s a gift from me to him and I’m sure he would accept it.

It might look strange but I know he would accept it.

Yes!

Why didn’t I think about it since?

Tomorrow at school, I”d give it to him. I concluded with a smile as I dangled the necklace in my hand.
