Evans picked Susan after two weeks just as he had promised.
Right now, Susan stepped into the house with awe. She had never been to a place quite spacious after her father's death so it brought back bitter sweet memories.A good looking woman stood at the top of the stairs and stared at her in distaste. Susan felt a bit small.
The woman wore a finely cut suit and had her hair in an bun. She grinned at Evans with a playful air.
" Is she one of them?"
Evans smiled tiredly. " She's an old friend. Miss Belle."
Susan curtseyed. " Good day Miss Belle."
Miss Belle looked at her sternly.
"This one has a bit of a home training. Madam Belle to you."Susan smiled even when she knew that she was indirectly insulted.
"I'm off to my room. Miss Belle."
Evans said before walking away.Susan swallowed when she noticed the woman's diminishing gaze on her.
"Follow me to your room and don't get too comfortable."
"Yes, Madam Belle." Susan whispered before following the old woman.
**************. .**************
Susan gently styled her hair after receiving a frightening lecture from Miss Belle about the rules of the place.
She wore a white dress with black espadrilles. She looked at herself in the mirror before smacking her lips together.
She walked to the kitchen and helped the chef with dinner to occupy her mind.
Dinner was ready and Susan helped in setting the table. Miss Belle had an expression of surprise and disgust at the same time or something of the sort.
Evans came down with a red hair clinging weakly to him. Miss Belle looked at her then at the girl in shock.
"May we proceed?" Evans asked raising his brow. He didn't look at Susan's way at all which kinda hurt her. She brushed away her emotions and put on a calm facade.
During dinner, the girl clinged to Evans even more. She both whispered to each other and laughed. Susan surprisingly didn't feel hurt or betrayed.
She focused on her dinner until the girl started passing rude comments. She kept shut as she munched down the food on her plate.
"I heard that she was raped by her father, such a disgrace to womanhood. I also heard that she's a product of a one night stand."
The girl tittered slightly.Evans gently pinched her shoulder and shook his head. Susan bowed her head to restrain her words.
" I also heard that she lost her womb."
Susan stood up angrily and banged the table.
Miss Belle looked like her eye socket had been removed.
" Sit down young lady."
Susan looked at her through clenched teeth.
" Madam Belle, don't you dare tell me what to do. You think that I would love to be in this situation?
If I had the power, I would never allow a disgrace and waste to humanity like you to ever come into this world.
And Evans, I've got nothing to lose... So go ahead... Kill. Me. You can go around telling people my secret but make sure that they never confront me about it. I wouldn't be held responsible for any murder case. Excuse me please."An uncomfortable silence filled the room as she left the dining room with her gown sweeping the floor after her.
She sat in her room with a desperate heart. She knew that she could never be free from her past.
'I have to fulfill my plan really quick. I want rest.'
