CLASH OF FATE (THE OBSESSION)

STAYING FOR THE WEEKEND

Orion was shaken with anger as he stood up
    I quickly pulled him back to his seat
" Mr. Maxwell,can you give me a reason why you think Orion and I can't be together" I asked as I tried to force a smile
   " Simple, because am his father and I don't like you "
      "And who gave you the audacity to choose for me " Orion bursted out while gritting his teeth in anger
    " I don't need any audacity I am your father" Mr. Maxwell yelled or maybe screamed at Orion
    " Desmond,table manners" grandma said in a cool yet commanding tone
      "Mom" Desmond whined as he sat down with an angry face
    The lunch went without any more drama.
      We sat down in front of grandma favourite garden after the meal.
     " What's your major in Preston's college" Desmond suddenly asked and I smiled
   "Medical scientist and music"I replied still smiling
   "You still sing" Desmond whispered and I think I saw a flash of affection in his eyes before it was covered with determination
      "I want someone with business major to get married to Orion" he said as he kept on avoiding my eyes
   "Or better still someone who is a model who wear skimpy outfits and put on heavy make up with a 9 inches heel with a freaking huge fan" I said with a cunning smile playing on my lips which Quickly change to that of innocence as soon as Desmond Snapped his head towards me
   " Or do you think I should go for modelling too father" I asked again as I looked at him

FLASH BACK
"I want to major in music or should I go for modelling too father"

END OF FLASH BACK
"Why do you have to come back" Desmond muttered and stormed out of the garden
   " Desmond" grandma called but Desmond was not having any of that
    "Orion,take Rhesa to your room you guys are staying for weekend" grandma said in that don't - argue - with - me tone and Orion only nodded
    Orion and I left the garden and went towards a fleet of stairs
As I was looking at the stairs I suddenly felt a deja vu
   "Alex, carry me I can't climb this stairs"
I heard the voice and I looked back to find where the voice came from
   "Rhesa, let's go " Orion said as he pulled me by my hands
   "I will be too tired by the time I finish climbing this stairs " I said and look at Orion with Bambi eyes
   " Let me carry you then " Orion muttered and I happily climbed his back
   Orion climbed the stairs as if he wasn't carrying me
   " Does your back hurts do you want a massage" I asked when we got to his room
    " Why does this feel like a deja vu " he asked while smiling at me with that stupid grin that always makes me feel like slapping him
   " Come and lie down if you want a massage and if you don't I want to take a shower " I said as I pretended as if am going to the bathroom
   " I can I say no to a massage and the bathroom is this way" Orion said still maintaining that stupid grin
  "Take off your shirt and lie down" I snapped at him and he took off his shirt why pouting his lips and I tried to maintain an angry face at him
       I don't know when we became so close but with him it's like we've been together for years.
      Orion grumpily laid down and I gave him a massage

Desmond is pacing round his room
"It's can't be" he kept on saying as he pace around the room
   "Desmond, I know what you're thinking but you said she died already"grandma said as she sat on a couch in the room
    " I know that face anywhere her child was a carbon copy " Desmond said still pacing
    "But you said she's dead" grandma said as she looked at her son suspiciously
    " I liked mom she got missing at Malebuly" Desmond said still pacing
   " Stop, you are making me dizzy " grandma shouted at him as she hold her head
    " Mom, should I look into the girl " Desmond asked as he held his mother's hand
   "That's why I loved Josephine she doesn't leave loop holes like you" grandma snapped at Desmond and the latter moved backwards
   " Mom, she's dead already " Desmond said slowly
   " That girl is a replica of Josephine " grandma muttered softly
   "I know that's why she can't be Orion's girlfriend " Desmond said agitated
    " But they loved each other since they were kids " grandma said as he looked at Desmond with that look of indifference
   " Though, Orion was ten when it happened you know what he went through what we went through " Desmond said still looking at Grandma with a desperate look
  " Nothing is decided we have to do a background check on her" grandma said as she looked sideways and her face was a combination of fear and interest with a pang of pain
   " I can't let anything take Orion away from me even if he hate me I can't let anything happen to him. If I find out that Rhesa is Andriette then I have to seperate her from Orion by all means " Desmond said with a determination that makes his face terrifying
     " Do what seems best to you but I think if Rhesa is Andriette Josephine is giving you a second chance to keep your promise " grandma said as she looked at her son with pity
   " I can't lose my son " Desmond said solemnly as if convincing himself
   Grandma just shrugged and left the room
   Desmond let out a loud cry and grandma shook her head as she left for her room

" Orion " Rhesa called as she walked down the stairs
   " Mam, grandma is asking for you" a male servant with a tacky hairstyles.
   " Where is she" Rhesa asked with a smile
" I will lead the way,mam" he said and led her past different room until they came to a door at the far end of the hall
   The guy opened the door and Rhesa entered she saw grandma standing in front of a picture that looks a little bit dusty
   " Rhesa, come here" grandma said as  she saw Rhesa
  Rhesa also smiled and walked a little bit faster towards her
  " Look at this painting" grandma said as she faced the painting again
  Rhesa looked at the portrait and couldn't help but smile
   " The girl is beautiful " Rhesa said as she smiled the girl in the portrait was on a horse and she was smiling brightly putting on a cowboy cloth with those brown eyes and long blonde hair she looks as free as a bird
  "She really is " grandma said
" I want you to wear this for dinner" she said and gave Rhesa a bag containing a blue gown that looks a little bit plain
   " Okay" Rhesa answered and grandma pushed her towards the door with a smile
  Rhesa changed into the gown and was surprised that the dress looked really different in her as if she was made.for the dress
   Orion came out of the dressing room wearing a causal dress but still looking sinfully handsome
   " Wow, my girlfriend is really all out to seduce me"he said with that stupid grin.
   I will beat the hell out of  you here if you don't clean your face of that stupid grin and get out" Rhesa said as she looked at him with a smug smile and Orion quickly left the room
       Desmond and grandma was already at the table and when they saw Rhesa coming down they stood up as if in respect
   Grandma moved closer to Rhesa and turned her around
     Grandma's eyes landed on her back and she saw the mark that looks like the tattoo of a flower
   " Rose" Demond and grandma muttered at the same time
  " What". Rhesa asked as she looked at Desmond and grandma at the same time
   " Where did you get the tattoo" Desmond blurted out
   " It's a birthmark" Rhesa said with a smile and grandma also smile at her
  The dinner was quiet at first but Orion and Rhesa's playful batter soon lighten up the whole dinning room
   Desmond and grandma also smiled and join them once or twice
   After the dinner everyone went to bed
    When grandma got to her room she went to the marriage portrait of her and her husband she clicked on the door in the portrait and a phone appeared with a number dial in
    " Josephine" grandma said slowly as a woman with a black long hair with blue eyes wearing a gown dressed like she was in a party or something
   " What grandma it's been long since you called"
   " Your daughter is here " grandma said with a deadpan expression
      " I knew she will come" the other woman kept staring as if she was lost or something
