Chapter 41: Insolvent debtor.
The layers of skin damaged by the acid tormented Presch throughout the day. It even woke her up at midnight, she didn't know who to blame, either her mother or the evil step sister she had.
It really peeled her skin deeply, invoking more severe pain to spread across her body. With a loud noise, Presch cried out in agony, expressing how distressed she was.
"Ahhhhhhhh. Marcus! Marcus! Stand up please". She called out to him.
The gentleman sleeping woke up with a jerk from his wife. "Baby what's wrong?" He asked as he looked at her face.
"This is so painful, see what Flora had done to me". She cried hard, her face looking like one who just swallowed vinegar.
Uusshhhhhh...
She farted as she finished speaking. Marcus covered his nose, trying not to inhale the bad odor that was filling the room.
Presch smiled disappointedly. "But Baby, you didn't even ask me how I got this injury?" She pouted.
Marcus rage had calmed down before she woke him up and brought up this issue. "Sincerely baby, I am not happy with you". He said.
"Ha,ha, how? So you think I am at fault?" She pointed to herself.
"No babe, I knew that she did this to you, and I am not going to let her go freely for it. I will teach her a big lesson she would never forget. However, I am annoyed with you for not informing me before leaving the home". He explained.
"Darling, it wasn't my fault. She was the one who called me, she told me she had to see me for something very important. How could I have known she was jealous of me? I had to respect her by accepting her invitation". Tears streamed down her face as she narrated.
Marcus who wanted to blame her more couldn't continue any longer, he moved closer to her and began to pet her.
"Stop crying baby, remember you have a child inside of you". He begged.
He stood up from the bed, prepared the medications the doctor had given them and applied it on her tummy where the injury was.
.........
Cylene didn't get any report from her daughter. She wondered if she had not implemented their plan.
Not that she wasn't concerned about her daughter's health, but she believed if they had sufficient wealth, they could forsake these people that are richer than them and no one would be able to trample on them.
She was about lying on the bed when she got a call from a private number. It was as if the person calling was from an island, everything seems quiet except the sound of water, making waves that brings along her past life.
"I know you are there, longest time". The caller greeted politely. She wondered who was calling her in the middle of the night.
"And who are you by the way? How can I solve your problem?" She fired back arrogantly.
"Hahahaha, you have never change Cylene". She heard her name loud and clear. She thought she was abruptly hearing something else.
To confirm his identity, maybe it was whom she had being waiting for. "Is that you?" She asked anxiously.
"Yes of course". The stranger answered.
The gush of excitement that rushed through her body was so comprehensive. "Oh I am very happy, are you back baby?" She asked seductively.
"Hmmm, soon my sexiest. I would be dropping by soon, to give you a taste of our long awaited love". The stranger laughed wickedly.
"Morever, hope you haven't forgotten the long time debt you owed me, I am ready to receive it now". Cylene was caught off.
She didn't expect he would suddenly ask for that now. She thought of playing words with him a little.
"Alright then, I'll surely pay you back. Also, I'll give you that hot sex you've had in a long time, please come back on time". She smiled as she proclaimed their naughty behaviors.
"I trust you Cyain. Guess what? I have got a lot more surprises for Flora, we will work simultaneously from now on". His voice went sharp, breaking through her intently.
"I know you would always make me happy, Hahahaha". She laughed wickedly hearing his plans.
"Hey! Let's talk properly later, I have to go now". She quickly ended the call as she heard a footstep from the passage.
.........
Next day....
Mainspark Entertainment company & Firefold Entertainment Company works hand in hand. The latter is just a subsidiary branch to the former, both owned by the Mareed Family.
Since Mareed Duncan, the youngest son in the family is back, he would likely take full responsibility for Firefold Entertainment Company.
Flora who was a staff in the company needed to attend the conference. Even, all head managers, managers and potential staffs of the two companies were sent invitations to attend the occasion.
Micheal invited his friends, only Maxson declined, he wanted to spend a long time with Joan today. "Sis, Big second sister is yet to be here?" Aria asked as she checked around the big hall.
"Heyy pretties". A tiny female voice sounded above them. "Fiona! Where have you been? I didn't see you since I came in". Flora said in amazement.
She laughed before replying. "So sorry dear, I have been helping Mr William with somethings". She said.
"Alright then". She faced Aria. "Meet my sister-in-law, Aria". Flora introduced her to Fiona.
"Nice meeting you". Aria said eloquently.
"Nice meeting you too". Fiona smiled.
A lady in a black office wear with a black pencil heel approached the three ladies. "Hope I didn't kill the girls' vibes?" She shined her teeth as she walked like a_mother villain.
"Beauty!" Flora stood up, she walked to her and hugged her tightly. "It been long seeing you bestie". She said still hugging.
Fiona and Aria watched the two best friends. "Sis, I missed you too". Aria stood up in her flare pinky suit and palazzo pant.
"I know baby". Beauty said, almost tearing up.
"Hello beautiful, I love your all black outfit, it's a killer vibe". Fiona admired Beauty's dress up.
"Yeah, thanks honey. It all a killer tool prepared for my ex". She said, blinking her eyes. Everyone laughed.
As the program started, a young man came on stage, introducing himself as Mareed Duncan.
Murmurs were heard among the crowd, some never knew about the youngest son of the Mareed family, it was a big surprise for them.
Aria watched the young man, as he reflected his cute round face on stage.
.........
"Thanks for giving her a chance, I really appreciate dear". Charlotte thanked her husband on behalf of Aria.
"Sighs, I guess it really time to give her that freedom and I could see how well she is building herself". Mark smiled and touched his wife's face.
"I never regretted marrying you. Thanks for everything Charlotte". He added.
Charlotte blushed at the sight of her loving husband.
