” You seriously can’t come home diva..” Vespertine said as they sat at the dining
” And why is that?”
” I can’t have you fire my workers all the time ” Larina chipped in while Godiva rolled her eyes
She remembered how she fired all 30 workers in her dad’s mansion and she chuckled softly
” Well, I won’t be chanced.. I need to go see Davis tomorrow”
” Davis? Are you both a thing now?” Larina asked
” Wait, you finally found a man?” Vespertine grimaced
” Who said I found a man? Are you nuts?” Godiva snapped
” Wow, you like him already? You going to go meet him means you li.. vespertine couldn’t complete his statement when Godiva dipped his face into the plate of food in front of him
” Stop talking trash, you b.astard… ” she said and vespertine lifted his head from the plate
He licked his lips and turned to Godiva. When he noticed she wasn’t paying attention to him, he dipped her face into her meal too..
Alston and Larina just stare at them
” Hey, Do you want to die?!!” Godiva shouted as soon as she raised her head up..
” Psychó ” Vespertine laughed, running away from the dining..
” Stop right there! I’ll ki|| you, I swear ” Godiva yelled and went after him
She looked really funny with the food on her face
A maid burst into laughter as she stared at Godiva. vespertine’s steps faltered immediately he heard the girl laugh..
” Oh, oh, I think the poor girl just got employed yesterday..” Larina shook her head.
” Did you just laugh at me or someone else ” Godiva asked looking around to see if there was someone behind her but no one was there
The maid was laughing at her!!
She took long predatory steps towards the girl
” Let’s not make this an issue, You’re fired..” She said sternly and the girl’s eyes widened..
She didn’t know her fault, Everything seemed like a dream to her
” Ma’am?” She exclaimed and Lydia rushed in
” I’m sorry about that ” Lydia said, taking the girl away
Godiva turned to vespertine who was just few steps away from her and grabbed his neck
” You’re choking me!! ” he shouted
” I’m choking you and you still have the voice to shout?” You must be joking” Godiva said, tightening her grip around his neck
” You.. I’m dying ” Vespertine complained but she still wouldn’t let go
He suddenly stopped struggling feigning death
Godiva let go and he fell to the ground
” Oh my God, Vesper !!” Larina ran to them
” Vespertine? Can you hear me?” She asked but got no reply..
Godiva shook his head as she stared at Vespertine on the ground
” Step aside mom” She said and her mom did as said
She was about stepping on Vespertine’s face but he rolled away, escaping her legs
” He’s awake now..” She said and walked to the bathroom to clean herself while Alston shook his head at their silliness
” That psychópathic witch..” vespertine muttered standing on his feet.

∆ MAID’S QUARTER
” What was my offence ma’am? What did I do ? Why am I getting fired?” The girl who had laughed at Godiva earlier cried
” What happened in there? What did you do?” Lydia asked
” I was going to place some fruits on the dining table when I saw ma’am and sir vespertine running round the sitting room. I cracked up after seeing the food stain on their faces..” the girl explained
” You laughed at her?” Lydia asked to be sure and the girl nodded
” Is it a crime to laugh in this home? The girl asked
” It’s my fault for forgetting to tell y’all about the rules but don’t worry I’ll talk to her about it.. ” Lydia said
” What are the rules here?” The girl asked and the new maids paid attention
” Firstly, y’all mustn’t laugh or smile in her presence. Anything you are asked to do, do it wholeheartedly with no mistake or your job is gone”
” Y’all should get use to her midnight laughs too. You mustn’t complain or say anything, just live here like a blind person and y’all will be fine ”
” She laughs at night?”
” You should be glad she didn’t laugh last night, I guess she was busy with office work”
” Now, That’s scary..” The new maids whispered among themselves
” Yeah, y’all will get use to it..” Lydia assured
“‘I doubt that.. ”
” Well, that’ll be all.. ” Lydia said and left the maids quarter to Godiva’s room
She knocked on the door and entered when she heard a faint ” come in”
” What is it? ” Godiva asked, her attention on her laptop
” Diva, I need to talk to you..” Lydia said
” Okay, I’m listening..” she looked up at Lydia but Lydia hesitated for a while
” Lydia? What is it you wanna tell me? I don’t bite okay? You know me too well to be behaving this way..”
” I need a favor..” Lydia finally said
” Okay? So What’s it about? ”
” Can you please spare the maids? I forgot to lecture them yesterday. They’re oblivious of what should be done in the house, so please punish me instead Diva ” Lydia said and Godiva raised a brow
” Are you serious right now?”
” I’m serious diva, the poor girl has been crying and as a woman, I feel pity ”
” So I’m a man that doesn’t feel pity?” Godiva’s frown deepened
” Godiva!! ” Lydia called loudly
” Fine fine, do what you want.. happy now?” Godiva raised her hands in surrender
That’s just her, she respected her nanny a lot.
” Anything else?” She asked
” Not at all..” Lydia smiled before exiting the room
” Tch..” Godiva scoffed, resuming what she was doing on her laptop

∆∆ MOLA CLUB
” Cerlia is pregnant..” Raphael broke the news and Arnold’s eyes dilated immediately those words left his mouth
” Pregnant? For who?” He asked
” What do you mean for who?” Raphael frowned
” Don’t get it twisted, it’s just…. I’m curious. How many weeks? Months?”
” Does that even matter pepper? ” Raphael asked back while Arnold shook his head, not wanting to ask any further questions
” Congrats bro..” he patted Raphael’s shoulder before walking back to the club to attend to customers.
‘ Why is he behaving that way? I’m the only guy Cerlia is seeing so why should I suspect her?’ he wondered
‘ What if pepper is actually right? What if…. Nah, it’s not true” he quickly brushed the thoughts off
” I might as well just ki|| myself if she cheats on me.. she knows this too so she wouldn’t do that to me..” he assured himself before walking into the club to meet Arnold
★★
Cerlia stood In front of the hospital and stared at it for a while
she sighed deeply before walking in.
She’s been thinking alot and the only thing she could think of was to get rid of the baby
Exton had sent her enough money since she was ready to go with his opinion of getting rid of the child
She entered the hospital and walked directly to the doctor’s office
” I want an abortion ” She said and even the doctor was surprised at her words
