"Breakfast is served Ma'am"The maid announced to the young heiress, who had an uneven look on her face when she heard her speak.
It was as if she just ruined her quiet moment, because she had walked in on her, closing her eyes,while seated in a medicating stance.
But what would you have her do?
If she didn't let her know that breakfast was served,she would have her punished severely,Tiana doesn't joke when it comes to her health.
Unknown to Tiana,who couldn't notice the battling that was going on in the maids mind over what she just did.
She just prays Tiana doesn't suspect a thing.
With a sigh which escaped her lips,the maid took the opportunity to leave immediately before she takes out her aggression on her,and also before she makes it obvious to the heiress that something was wrong.
Kai had akways been the one who brought up her meals, but this morning there had been some changes,and she had been too busy to do that for her.
Tiana suspected that something was wrong when it wasn't Kai who served her breafast,but prior to calling her on phone.
Her cell phone started ringing,she didn't need any soothsayer to tell her who was calling, because she left her main phone at home and took another because she didn't need any disturbance for her vacation.
Aunt Catleya.
Irrespective of the fact that she had gotten used to her,she won't mind treating her the way treats her brother and mother if she brings up the discussion about coming home, because there's no other reason why she called.
She hesitated for a bit,having second thoughts of ignoring the call. Her aunt doesn't call more than twice unless it is something that matters a lot to her.
She couldn't place any reasons, as to why she decided to treat her differently,was it the fact that she was the one who was going to inherit everything,when her mother died which attracted such attention?
She couldn't exactly say,but was she lovong the fake corcern? Yes.
It gives her immense pleasure while knowing that she was doing this all for a reason, because there actually no way a Hamilton would treat her with respect.
They all lacked respect,and human empathy,which was a gene inherited from their mother and these is no changing that as long as she was still alive.
The third ringing of her phone pinged her interest on another level, because she took the call with all anxiousness building up in her mind to know what the hell was going on.
Who knows?
The old hag might have died.
A burial would require her coming home as a member of the family,which she would happily do without anyone forcing her to do so.
"Tiana"She answered the call,and could hear her aunt yelling at someone over there to do a better job.
"Hey! You have been avoiding my calls lately,may i know the reason for that young lady?"Catleya queried,making sure that no one was eavesdropping on her conversation with her,so she took one last glance to make sure that the maid was out of her room.
"I don't think i have a reason to do that,this vacation was meant to keep my mind off things that don't align with my happiness"Tiana rudely replied,knowing quite well that she was making her aunt feel bad,but that didn't bother her at all.
Maybe,if she have stopped trying to force herself into her life,she wouldn't he hearing all these.
"I also don't think that's the language you would use for an elder,that's so disrespectful of you to say that straight to my face Tiana,when will you grow?"Cattleya advised.
She was lacking alot in manner,and that was another problem for someone who is being forced to get married, in order to have what rightfully belongs to her.
How is she going to cope with all of these, once she hears of the new rules her Grandma had set up just because of her actions against her?
Would Tiana listen to what she says,without having a say of her own in all these that have being planned for her?
No.
She's stubborn just like her grandmother,and that was the problem between the both of them,none of them was willing to admit their faults.
It was destroying the family's togetherness,but Catleya should have known that no matter how hard she tried to get the two to move along,that her grandma was not one to say sorry.
She would not give her granddaughter the privilege, to think that she had won in all these.
Catrina Hamilton always loved a challenge,and this was some sort of entertainment to her.
But the truth was open to everyone that didn't like the way things are,she needs to admit her mistake and get Tiana to act properly the way a Hamilton does.
"What exactly do you want from me aunt Catleya?"Tiana was not moved,to tender an apology even after hearing what she said.
Her aunt had to know that Tiana Hamilton doesn't apologize,not to her,not to her grandma or even to the president of country B.
"We need to talk, Estrella"
Tiana knew she meant business when we she uses her middle name,but it was fun stressing her out.
Call her a psycho or whatever.
She loves causing trouble.
"And we are talking aunt Catleya"
"This is not some joke Estrella"
"And who knows what lies the old hag has fed you, to require you tricking me into coming home"Tiana retorted,standing up to take a drink from the tray where her breafast was served.
"Who makes you think i would do that? I'm on your side Tiana and you know that"
"Well,I don't think I'm up for trusting anyone anymore"Tiana spat,Kai using this medium to come into her room.
Surprisingly,her eyes went to where her breafast was to notice that she hasn't touched it.
Odd.
The look on her face was noted by Tiana,who turned her back to her before moving her attention back to the call with aunt Catleya.
"You can think whatever you what young lady,but i don't think this is the time for you to be so bratty,your Grandma had signed her will"
"That's wonderful! That means she's about to die"Tiana smiled for this new information.
Without stopping to think of the fact of her not giving her property to her,she can do that, anything is possible with Catrina Hamilton.
"Everything would handled over to you"
"That's no surprise,she has to do that"Tiana proudly said,tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear as Kai stood looking at her.
Was that a smile on Tiana's face?
Wonderful!
"Don't get too excited,you won't be able to get any access to all of those properties until you get married"Aunt Catleya let the cat out of the bag,there was a minute silent on both part which made her knew that she was angry.
"Is this some sort of joke? What does that got to mean?''Tiana asked,scoffing at her aunt's words.
She's got to be kidding.
Her grandma can't do that.
"This is not joke Tiana,the lawyer has.."
"Then that leads me to make own decision"Tiana cut her off, since her grandma was good at making orders,she too was no exception.
"Tia.."
"I quit,I have no sort of interest in the company,you should let her know that!"She said lastly, cutting the call abd throwing her phone to the wall in anger while yelling.
"Tiana,what's wrong?"Kai ran up to hold her, before she could destroy more things in her room in anger.
Pushing Kai away from her,she didn't need her pity,not when she too was questioning her loyalty to her.
"Get out!"She yelled,taking her pillow and threw it at her which she caught with ease.
Why is everything and everyone against her?
Why can't they just let her be,her life was no bed of roses and it is not going to be seeing that her grandma still had the mind to do this to her.
"Your flight is in an hour"
"I'm not leaving"She said, looking at the window with her back facing Kai,she didn't want to see her face and that of anyone.
"Your breakfast is getting cold"Kai tried not to sound suspicious by telling her this,Tiana was no fool,she could tell when she's up to something.
She could have fallen for the trap,but she changed her mind for some reasons which was only known to her.
Turning around to face Kai with folded arms,she replied with a smug smile hanging on her lips.
"I want to eat out today,get the cars ready,I need to shop to get the old hag angry"She said walking into her bathroom,with the intention of making her grandma's blood pressure rise more today.
Since she wants to play, she's always ready for that. After all, who's Tiana Hamilton if she doesn't like a challenge?
