📝Chapter 17📝

        "Victoria, did you really do that to Alice?" Dad asked me when we got outside the room. Eniola, Charles and Opeyemi were standing close to the door of the room praying silently. Monique was sitting opposite where Mum and I stood.

     "How can you even say that Richard? Do you think Victoria could commit murder?" Mum cuts in.

     Dad frowned and bit his lower lip, he balled his fist and glared at mum "I'm not talking to you, Helena. Victoria can speak, let her speak for herself".

    Monique laughed and crossed her legs. Mum sent her a glare.

    "Dad, I didn't do that" I denied it again. There is no way I'm telling them the truth.

    Eniola stamped her feet in anger "Stop denying it Victoria. I saw you".

    "Shut up! Liar" I yelled at her then looked at Dad "You have to believe me Dad. I don't know why the pillow was on the floor. I swear" I said looking innocent and forming hurt "I don't understand why you have never believed me" I started crying. I'm good at this.

     "I'm going crazy" Dad pulled at his tie, he scratched his head in frustration before walking out on mum and I.

     I kept crying, I would have wiped my eyes dry but I didn't want to because Charles was still here. I wanted him to pity me.

     "Whenever you are ready, meet me at the restaurant" Mum said and left immediately. She didn't care if I was crying, obviously she knew I was faking it. She owns a classic restaurant at Ikeja (Capital of Lagos state, Nigeria).

     "You make me wanna puke" I heard Opeyemi say, I looked at him and gritted my teeth completely forgetting my crying act.

     "I don't need your opinion, dumb ass!".

    He chuckled " I almost fell for your pretense".

    I realized I'm supposed to be crying. I can't pretend anymore since I've been figured out.

    They are taking a lot of time in Alice room. Was Alice dead or not?.

     The door suddenly opened and they all walked out closing the door behind them. They rushed to them except me who stood where I was with my arms crossed over my chest.

     "How is she?" Monique asked. Florence looked away sadly.

     "She is okay, she only fainted" The doctor said "Right now she needs enough rest. Her room will be restricted for sometime".

     I rolled my eyes.

     "No, it will be restricted until she leaves this place" Florence Dad said.

     "Dear, you can't do that. What about her friends?" Florence mum asked him with her two arms over her chest.

    "I don't care about that. Doctor, I need my daughter, my wife and I to have access to Alice room".

     I frowned and bit my lips in anger. Well at least, Charles won't be able to see her.

     The doctor nods and left with his nurse while Florence dad took out his phone and called someone.

     Florence approached me. Her face was pale and her eyes were red probably caused by crying too much.

     "I don't know what made you to do that to my Alice...."

     I cut in rudely "I didn't do anything. You all should stop blaming me for that"

     "I will say this once, so listen carefully. Stay away from her, you and your mum shouldn't try to pull any stunt cause I will not sit back and watch. I will fight for Alice. Tell Helena that" She warned sternly, she left with Monique.
