REVENGE GONE WRONG*love or hatred*

Acceptance of fate

Throughout the drive, Francis continuously stole glances. He was worried about what had happened and what was going to happen. He couldn't convince his grandfather to cancel the wedding neither was he able to tell him the truth. "I'm really sorry for whatever happened and the mess I've created. I promise to bring up an excuse and file for a divorce if we get married".He apologized and Hazel simply nodded. After few minutes the car stopped. Hazel immediately left for her room while Francis sat behind thinking.

The moment I closed the door, the slipped down along the door and cried. Throughout the drive both of us kept quiet until we were few miles away from home. When Francis started to speak I felt uncomfortable but I knew I had to endure. Even though I liked the divorce part I still didn't want to speak cause if I had even blinked tears would have flooded us. I couldn't give up now. Not
after all that I've done. All I needed was affection from my parents.

FEW DAYS LATER

I sat in the middle of Linda Davids and Michael Davids for the first time. Even though they were my parents this was the first time I sat with them in this manner so far as I could remember.
"Mr. Davids unfortunately my son, Francis Wilson was not able to make it here but I think since we're here , there's no problem. Maxwell Wilson who had come with his wife, Juliana Wilson said before handing the bride price of billions of dollars over to my parent. Dad's eyes lite with joy as he took the money from them. Despite them paying this huge amount,they brought countless expensive gifts. "No problem ". Looking at my parents face beaming with happiness, I just sat down emotionless. "That's fabulous" mum said and the joy in her voice did not escape my ears. "Have a nice day. We will take our leave." They shaked hands with us and left. "Yes!!!!" dad screamed and gave me a tight hug. His smile was so wide that I could not recognise him. "Thank you so much. But you know this isn't enough right?" I simply nodded at his words before he left. "I was still dumbstruck. I have never seen my dad smile or never has he ever hugged me. So if I continue to do what the ask of me will they love me like Jenelle and Cecilia? if so then I've accepted my fate to forever please for love.
I walked to the kitchen and as always, Rhia was cooking. As soon she saw me she stopped and gave me a hug.That's why I love her. She always knows what I want. "Be strong. You will be free in no time". "And are you the one going to free her?". Oh no I really thought mum left the house. "Even you are caged here and you're assuring someone else of escape. Is very true when they say , if nakedness promises you cloths ask for his name"."Linda i'm not ready for an early drama".Rhia said trying to focus on cooking. "Well I am " she said and landed a slap on Rhia's face causing her to fall. "How dare you talk back at me!" Mum screamed on top of her lungs. "You really want to follow your slut mother right you descendant of a whore!". " My mum wasn't a whore Linda! you are the whore who slept with your driver and body guard!" I covered my mouth out of Rhia's sudden outburst. "How dare you accuse me of such thing!" This time mum pounced on her and started slapping he face."Is you ! Is your mum who slept my dad and you were the result. Your mum is the whore not me! that's why my mum and I k.."." Mum please stop" I said when I successfully pulled her off Rhia . "What's your problem?" Mum screamed at me. "Can't you see what she's doing? you should help me beat her rather than stop me . She's trying to destroy our family! she's trying to accuse me of something I can't even think of". " Did you kill my mum". Rhia's sudden question distracted us but mum refused to answer. "Tell me did you kill her! Did you f***king kill my mum! Did..." ," Yes I did! My mum and I burned her alive. You are even lucky you were just a baby! you would have died as well!". Suddenly mum's mood changed and as if she regretted what she just said. "Shit!" she cursed and walked out. I squat and hugged Rhia who was to shocked to even cry. "Ahhhhh!" she started crying." I swear you will pay for this Linda Wilson. She screamed with pain. Rhia has always been there for me. Whenever my family made me feel useless and unwanted ,Rhia made me confidence. When ever I felt sad and thought of giving up, Rhia consoled me . She was more than a mother to me. If I've ever laughed and wished to live then is Rhia but right now she said she was going to make my mum pay for the crime she committed about twenty five years ago. "No Rhia, you're.... you're not going to kill my mum, are you?". From how Rhia stopped crying and stared at me , it like she was shocked. "She killed my mum! Hazel" she pointed to her chest and cried even louder. "She made me a maid and abused me every time! Hazel and....". " But is all in the past. It been almost three decades". In fact I could see the pain in her eyes but I couldn't possibly let her kill my mum. Not when she has started loving me. At least that's what I see.
"I DON'T CARE!" she shouted and freed herself from me before standing up. "Even if is a century ago I will still kill her!"."Rhia please" I held onto her legs and pleaded."Don't do that Hazel" she bend down to my length and lifted me up. "Hazel.....have you forgotten? all that she did to you? how she has used you for her personal gains? how she didn't even care about your physical and mental health?how..."."l remember all Rhia " I cut her off mid air. "But is in the past right? she will love me as long as I do what she tell me".
"I don't care about what you think Hazel but to be frank your mum will never like you. You have no idea what went on when you were away. You can continue to get your hands dirty for her but I will make sure I stain my hands with her blood".
"Hypocrite"I could see the shock on her face when I called her that but at this point I didn't care. "You always acted like you loved me but see, you want to kill my mum" ." You don't understand I..." before she could complete I left slamming the door behind.

"Well let's organize a bachelor party" His friends suggest.
"Sure" Francis said to have them all nod.
