She Tried to Fake It.

A middle-aged woman stepped into her house.  She walked assisted by her husband and was greeted by dozens of servants in the house.

 "Welcome back home, Madam!"  greeted the maids together.

 And an old man seemed to be walking towards her.

 "Madam, Our Lady has finally returned home," reported the old man, "She even cooked a lot of food for you," he continued, lying.

 He carried out the orders of his Young Master.

 "Really?!" asked the middle woman, suprised.

 "Yes, Madam!"  replied the old man, "Our lady is now sleeping with our master," the old man continued.

 He was still standing, lowering his head in front of the middle-aged woman who had started to walk after stopping.

 "Thank God, I hope everything goes back to how it used to be. Oh my dear Irene, I want to meet her soon,"

 The middle-aged woman smiled happily and continued walking with the help of her husband.

 "Shouldn't we taste Irene's cooking, Honey?"  and Mr.  Dorian;  her husband advised the woman who had just been discharged from the hospital to take her to lunch.

 "Okay, but I want to eat with Irene,"

 "But our lady is still sleeping soundly, Madam," The Dorian's Servant forbade,

 He was quite worried because he saw his young master's fight with Irene earlier.

 The old man seemed to be following Mrs.  Dorian headed for the stairs of the house.

 "I just want to see her,"

 "But..."

 "No 'but', don't try to stop me from seeing Irene's face again!"  the middle woman snapped angrily.

 "Honey, could you please be patient? I'm afraid you'll get sick again if you get angry like this," Mr.  Dorian tried to convince,

 The man helped his wife up the stairs of the house.

 "That Fool, how bold does he do set me up?"  Mrs.  Dorian was in a rage.

 She even cursed her old servant.

 "Pardon me, madam!"  And the old man seemed no longer daring to follow her steps.

 He just had to stand and wait to be given orders.

 ********

 Edric walked quickly to Irene who was still trying to break down the door.

 His expression was flat, he was probably holding back annoyance in his heart.

 "I can't stand it,"

 "Who asked you to stand it anyway?"  Irene Shouted, "Ahh!"

 And again, Edric grabbed her hand and forced the woman to stop moving.

 "Don't you know pain?"  He began shouting,

 It was making Irene smile wryly.

 "No," answered Irene, "So why? Are you gonna be making me suffer again like we were in the past?"  Irene asked,

 She tried to release her hand from Edric's hand so hard.

 "I'm sorry for the past, but now, I've to try stand you for my mother,"

 "Who cares about your mother?"  Irene smiled disdainfully.  She was still having a hard time breaking away from Edric.

 "Then why did you accept my offer so easily just because of this home? I can understand, that may be because you have your feeling for me, then please, don't pretend you hate me, Irene!"  growled Edric,

 And he forced Irene to fall into his arms.

 "Hmm, hahaha!"  Irene laughed out loud,

 She pushed Edric's body though it was very difficult to do.

 "Stop laughing. You're the exception, I can marry you but not Lucy. And I'll try to break up with her if you want."

 "The liar?!"

 "No,"

 "Is it all you do because of your mother or something else?"  Irene asked,

 And Edric stretched his arms from the woman's waist until she finally let go.

 "No else, but my mother," replied Edric,

 Plakk!

 And he was surprised when Irene had slapped him so hard in his face.

 "What's else? Do you really want to hurt me?"  asked Edric indignantly,

 He held his emotion hardly, he gripped his hands tightly and refrained from returning the slap from Irene.

 "You force me, I don't like what you have just done. I tell you, I'll never love you even a bit. No… I want this house because of my mom. My mother always left our home and stayed here then. And at least, my memories with her are more in this place than at Isaac's house. You get this point?! So now, let me go!"  asked Irene who seemed to be starting to push Edric's body so that the man backed away slightly.

 "No, sorry. I can't let you go,"

 "I do hate for being forced," said Irene with reddened eyes.

 "And this is all I can do to keep you here."

 "Fuck! You're ass," Irene snapped, cursing.  "I will continue to come to this place, but you don't have to force me. Don't force me again because it will make me hate you even more for your unchanging nature, You Bastard!"

 Irene was really so emotional, she even screamed while speaking.

 Kraak!

 Then the room door suddenly opened,

 "What's going on?"  Mrs.  Dorian came in and asked the two people in the room.

 "Mommy!"

 "Aunty!"  Then Irene smiled gently after turning around.

 She was faking it.

 "Oh my dear, Irene!"

 "You know, I miss you so much that I feel like I'm dreaming when I see you," Irene said,

 She started to walk towards Mrs. Dorian, then hugged her.

 "That dream, I feel it too," said Mrs.  Dorian, she hugged Irene back very tightly, " But what's up? I heard your screams, is Edric bullying you again like before?"  asked the woman who had let go of Irene's arms and looked all over her body to check if there were any wounds there.

 "Yes, Edric bullied me again, Aunty," and Irene answered her with a tone filled with sadness.

 "How dare you are!"  Then Mr.  Dorian snapped angrily at her son.
