Thirty

Liv



Later that night, after dinner. Tania walked in through the door into the house and seemed excited. I guess my leave must have given her some room to breath.



Indeed her smile dispersed when she got sight of me. 



" Happy to see you too." I smiled at her sarcastically. 



" Am not" she said boldly and took a deep breath. 



" I don't care." I said and turned back to the screen I was watching before she walked in. I was bored in the room so I had come down to watch something to kill the boredom. 



" You know this house has never been peaceful like the way it was when you were gone." She took the seat next to me as she spoke. 



" I can only imagine, now you get to taunt me again" I rolled my eyes.



" You should have never returned!" She sneered.



" I had never enjoyed myself as much as I did when I was far from you. I would have loved to stay" I said without sparing a glance at her. 



" We both can agree we don't stand each other." 



" No, it's not like that." I paused the movie I was watching. " You just can't bare the fact that your father remarried and you won't be the only one inheriting the property. You are the problem here." I half yelled at her. " It's the money your worried about." 



" Me?" She laughed " I am the daughter of this place, right heir to all of this, you just want to be a part of it. You showed up from no where seduced my dear old dad to marrying you so that you can steal from us." She emphasized every single word.



" Tania I didn't know your father up til the wedding day, the time I walked down that aisle only to be married to someone fit to be my grandfather. Do you think I was thinking about stealing his money?" I questioned.



" Your such a lair." She scoffed. " If you didn't want to marry my dad, then why did you say I do, why did you accept to marry a man you just meet 10 minutes ago. Doesn't make sense right," Tania fired me.



" I had no choice" I felt the tears sting in my eyes. What was Tania trying to mean? Did she think I put my self in this situation.



" Oh no? It was simply, the priest asked you and you had a choice but you still said yes. Didn't you? Stop acting victim here. You had a choice, am sure your father didn't force you with a gun to your head. If you had said no, we would not be in this situation. Non of us would have. But wait, you know you wanted this. You said yes to this. So stop complaining and acting like you were forced into the life you are in." Tania was right, I did have a choice. Am sure my father would have accepted me back either way. I remember well my father only glared at me but the ball was in my hands.



" You are right" I murmured. I shouldn't play victim here. 



" Of course am right, you were just blinded to see the fate you choose for yourself. But don't worry am here to make sure you recall. Every single day." Tania smiled at me before leaving me alone in the living room, wallowing. 



The silence in the room was dead drop. I could feel the chills crawling up me. I choose this fate for myself. I was given a choice and I chose hell.



Did my dad know about this and decided to abandoned me?. To stay away from me and my ugly life. Was that why he wasn't picking up my phone calls?



A tear rolled down my cheek unwillingly as the memory of that day passed through my mind.



" Yes, I do" I said those words clearly. I accepted the man and was even ready to kiss the man. I would have said I was doing it for my dad but that was just an excuse to blame others. This mistake was all mine.



I picked the bowl of popcorn and started to dig in to try and calm my nerves. I turned the movie back on to play and watched. 



I cried a few tears but with the constant eating and movie watching, I was able to keep the rest from coming out. 



This was my fate and I had to choose how I handled it. If I was to survive this, then I had to stop playing victim.





" Mrs Williams" the name rung in my ears. It was Sabastian, he must have just arrived aswell.



I turned to look at the man who seemed calm as usual. I smiled lightly at him before answering



" Yes" 



" Remember when you said, that you're going to need to know when Mr Williams was awake?" He asked to have me furrow my brows at him. Where was this going?. My eyes opened in shock as the thought of him being dead came to mind.



" It's just been a week, oh no, is he dead?" I asked worried. Was I going to be widowed. I was so young to be widowed. No! 



" Is that all you can assume" I heard Tania sneer as she joined us in the living room. Where did she come from? " Seems you're eager to be widowed, how about I make my father the widower?" She thereatened.



" There no need to bring the dead in the talk of the living." Sabastian spoke. 



" So dad woke up?" Tania asked. 



" Yes he did, he will be arriving back by the end of the week." Sabastian said. 



" Really? I thought he was in coma" I said. Was it possible for someone to wake up that early. As far as am concerned, that was so early. 

" When did he wake up?" I asked. 



" Today. They will give him a few general checks up before he is allowed to come back here." 



" Yeah, dad is coming back. I will personally make sure you don't murder him before I murder you" Tania looked at me when she spoke. Did I look like a killer to her?. " Good night" and she moved out. Thank God



" Goodnight Mrs Williams" Sabastian said and walked away aswell.



My husband was coming after this weekend. I hurried up to my room and looked up at the huge photo of the man I married. He looked composed and very calm. 



" So you are coming home" I spoke to him. He didn't reply. " Its good you are coming home. I will have to seat you down and you have to explain to me how you made my father agree to this. 

And you left me with your daughter, you know she is not happy. Infact she hates me." I looked at the man's eyes. 



" C'mon Liv you are talking to a picture!" I scolded myself. I turned and walked to my bed. I entered in and laid with my eyes still at the picture. 



" Have I seen somewhere before?" I asked him. " I don't know why but your face looks so so much familiar." I spoke. " But we both know that's impossible, when you were that age, I must have not existed or not even thought about." I breathed out heavily 

" Goodnight, Isaac" I said before switching off the lights and going to sleep.
