Chapter 57

(Ammy's POV)

I was angry but I was trying really hard to stay in my limits and not do or say anything crazy to aunt Cynthia but she repeated her statement again to my face.She called my mum a whore again.That was enough to make me make a move since none of the rest was trying to stop me from doing anything but they were just staring at us.Maybe they thought I still was that same humble and respectful Ammy.Ofcorse I was but this woman's words had pushed me right off the edge and I wasn't going to stay there and listen to her spit all that nonsense about my mom.

"If you call her that again, I will do something you aren't imagining right now,"I gave her a valid warning while pointing at her face.

"Young girl you will not point at me,"she thundered but I could hear her voice shake.

"And you will not call my mother names that we all should be calling you instead.You call my mom a useless woman?...and what are you if you can't even correct your senseless daughter?...and even if she was a whore, is it any of your business!?....that woman you call a whore is much more better than you because she did all she could to make sure that my sister and I are fed ,schooled,gave us everything we needed until her last breath.She never made us think or feel that we didn't have a father and she definitely taught us what you can't teach your daughter and so don't call her names that you deserve instead"I yelled at her, tears still flowing down my cheeks.I was panting hard and was struggling to keep myself calm and avoid breaking down further.Cynthia remained quiet and looked at me wide eyed.I felt someone place their hands on my shoulders.

"It's fine now, calm down.Milady and Maya take Ammy to her room,"the person spoke.It was Mr Storm.Milady and Maya stepped forward and took me from where I was standing.Mum Camilla came to me and looked at me and smiled weakly and walked passed me.Maya and Milady took me to my room and locked the door when we got inside.My knees weakened when we walked inside and fell to the floor and cried my eyes out.Maya and Milady knelt beside me on the floor.

"Hey, you don't have to cry.What you did out there was awesome and great as well.If someone can't respect you even when you respect them then you have to earn their respect by force and that's what you did,"Maya spoke calmly.

"Am sorry that I had to speak to your mom that way...I really didn't want to,"I apologized when she spoke.

"You don't have to.Trust me I would have done worse than that if she had said to me and she deserved that,"Maya continued.As much as she said that, I felt that she was just trying to be a good friend but she was still her mother no matter how much she disliked her and she must have been hurt by how I spoke to her.

"She is still your mother, and am sorry about what happened,"I insisted.

"Babes, not everyone deserves an apology so you don't have to apologize because of aunt Cynthia.So save the sorry for a better scenario.And you have to stop crying now.Come here,"Milady spoke and took me into her arms and hugged me tightly and Maya joined us.

"Am sorry that we caused all that.If we hadn't spoken to her that way then maybe she wouldn't speak that way about you or your mum and maybe all that wouldn't have happened,"Milady also apologized to me but I just sobbed in her arms.

"You girls shouldn't be apologizing at all.Sherly can be a real bitch sometimes and mum can be...let me not finish that,"Maya said and we all laughed...

"Don't be afraid to say it.She can be a real pain on the arse,"Milady completed the statement and we laughed again.

"You are talking about my mum please,"Maya spoke still laughing.

"Am aware of that..."came Milady's short response and we laughed again.Atleast that made me erase the mood I was feeling at that moment, though I had another issue to worry about now after my out burst.I didn't know what they all thought about me or would think about me from that time.As much as I wanted to be happy for standing up for my mom that night, I was worried of how Max too would react when he learns about what happened and how Mr and Mrs Storm and uncle Mark would think about me.

"I really loved how you slapped that bitch,"Milady started the conversation again when we had stopped our laughter.

"Did you the shock in her eyes?...it was as if she had seen a ghost,"Maya responded giggling.

"Did you see those tears she was shedding?...and, 'you slapped me?'"she continued mimicking her sister's words while laughing heartily.

"I promise you will regret this Ammy...how dare you lay your flithy hands on me....you will regret this,"Milady took her turn in imitating her, she too laughing out loud after her little drama.

"Do you think she will do something?"I asked when Milady repeated those words.That was a threat from an enemy you know?...so I had to be concerned and worried.

"She will do nothing...those are just empty threats.Who would dare touch the great Maxwell Storm's wife?"Maya asked teasingly.We stayed for some few more minutes before deciding to go to bed.

"Can you please switch off the lights?"I asked Maya and Milady since they were sleeping on my sides.

"You love it in the dark...huh!"Milady asked teasingly.

"What's that supposed to mean?"I asked.

"Stop pretending to be innocent ma'am,"Maya responded, looking at me teasingly.

"I really don't think I understood what you just said,"I responded honestly.

"We meant what you and my brother do when you guys are together or what you guys will do on your honeymoon,"Milady explained shamelessly.I exhaled sharply before responding.

"You girls should stop that and nothing has ever happened between Max and I...all we can do when together is argue,"I answered sternly.

"You must be kidding us girl,"Milady responded sounding serious.What did she think ever happened between me and that physcho.

"Unfortunately am not.Sorry for the disappointment but nothing did,"I responded.

"Is it that you guys never shared a room or a bed or why didn't anything happen?"Maya asked.I don't know why they were making this sound as if it was a big deal that nothing ever happened between us.

"Why do you make it sound as if it's a big deal?"I managed to ask.

"It really is....how could he share a bed with such a beauty and not do anything?"Milady asked again.

"Well, we are always busy fighting or arguing as I already told you,"I responded to her question.The two laughed and I don't know why because it was not so funny.

"What's so funny girls?"I asked them.

"Okay fine, we aren't laughing now ....so you haven't done it with anyone else either?"Maya asked.I was already beginning to get pissed off and I wanted to get them off my back so I just blubbered my answer.

"No I haven't.I used to see my mom work that hard and it made me want to give the best and so I never wanted anything to do with the boy girl stuffs.I didn't even have friends at that time except for Sherry and Marcus.So this is done and end of the story.Tomorrow is my wedding and I have to go to bed otherwise I will look like the worst bride,"I explained and they were all quiet.

"You are 22 years and a virgin??...I love this,"Maya confessed, both surprised.

"You do?"I asked her in doupt.I thought they would laugh just like Anna, Alicia and Sherry did when I told them.

"Yeah...I mean it's so good,"she responded calmly.

"Okay girls...and that should happen very soon.I want to hold my nieces and nephews in my arms,"Milady spoke her mind finally.I looked her surprised by that.It was too early to start talking about that.

"Don't you think that we should atleast fall in love before talking about children?"I asked them and the two giggled.

"But we all think he loves you,"Milady spoke.

"You think,"I responded to her, rolling up my eyes.

"But we are sure you love him,"Maya spoke sounding very sure of what she just said.

"I do?"I asked her, both surprised and shocked and they laughed again.
