Sick Façade

Vionna was Happily humming to her favourite tune, Finally she had gotten rid of the unwanted awkwardness she surely, was going to face if she met him later on.

From the time Tania left the kitchen after asking her if the is anything she could do to help her since she said she was feeling sick. Vionna rejoiced gladly, her joy knew no bounds. Her sick facade immediately weared off and a trickish smile slowly made it's appearance on her face. "Sorry Tania darling, I will surely help you too one day." Those were her earlier words.

Right now, she was lazily lying down on her bed, Throwing sweet berries into her mouth as she hummed to her favourite tune. She felt so relaxed and relief that she had dodge her problems for today.

She was busy playing the role of what she portrayed to be—A sick person.

Not so sick after all.

After a while, She heard a Knock on the door interrupting her from her self celebration period. Her brows frown slightly, she was inwardly thinking about who it could be.

Not long after the knock echoed again and this time. "Who is it?" She asked.

"Vee it's me."

Clearly she was aware of who the voice belongs to.

"Oh..Tania, come in." She said in a weak tone, she remembered she was sick—As per what she said to Tania.

Not up to Two seconds when the door made a 'Click' sound, indicating that the door had been open. Tania came in, being greeted with the sight of Vionna lying weakly. She assumed that the sickness had escalated.

"Oh no! Is it worse?" Tania strode with haste towards the direction of were Vionna laid.

"No, it's just some headache nothing more." She said to Tania.

"Don't worry to much I'll be fine soon, I promise." She added. She felt bad for lieing to her this way, Plus seeing her genuine worry, it all added to her guilt.

She had no choice, she thought.

"It's Okay Vee, just get better soon." Tania wished her.

"I sure will, thanks." Vionna replied with a guilt edge smile. "Thank you Tania." She appreciatively muttered.

"Ehhh about that...., I didn't do anything." Tania said.

"Huh! what happened." Vionna asked, confused.

"Well... the young Master, he didn't let me even when I informed him that you were not doing good. He said I should leave."

Vionna had a thoughtful expression after listening to Tania's piece. 'I know that devil must be doing it on purpose. Lord why me.' Vionna mentally cried.

"I... It's okay Tania, I will just have to recover quick and get back to work." She said dejectedly.

"Vee? Are you sure you are okay? I can tell the Mistress maybe you could take some days o..."

"No no no no no, I'm alright it's okay, I will try my best. There is no need for that okay, absolutely no need." Vionna immediately cut her off before her words could even be completed. She sheepishly smiled at her.

"Remember not to try too hard okay, have you had breakfast yet, I can go get it for you." Tania said.

"Mmm." Vionna curtly hummed a short reply.

"Alright." Tania said before she stood at left Vionna's room.

Vionna released a huge sigh of relief after Tania left shutting the door. Her life is indeed a sad one, what for Christ sake had she gotten herself into.

She didn't know this was just the beginning.

. . .

On Liam side, he hadn't had breakfast since he woke and the morning had been far gone today He was very hungry. He thought that Vionna will come after he drove the other girl away. But he thought 'What if she was really sick? Or maybe she just wanted to avoid me because of what transpired last night?' He didn't know which was correct but he went for the latter, Though he was disturbed about the former and he wasn't sure why.

He decided climbing down for breakfast instead since having it in his bedroom was no longer an option.

His Father and Mother were already down and had long began theirs. He could see his father was rushing up because he had to be in the office soon. While Ezekiel sat beside him.

"Mom, Dad Good morning, Good morning Bro." He greeted them all while taking his sit close to Zeke.

"Morning, morning Bro." The replied.

"Did you sleep well son?" Catherine asked smiling dearly.

"Yes I Did Mom, and you?"

"I did too." Catherine replied.

Liam immediately joined the feast. The dinning hall was so quiet, only the clacking of spoons and breakables was heard.

"Son?" Christian called after a while gaining everyone's attention.

Liam responded with a quick gaze at his father.

"I will like to speak with you once I'm back."

Everybody knew what this 'Talk' is about, it's not something new to them.

Zeke casted a glance at Liam to see his reaction, but he wasn't surprised, not even an eyebrow was raised, his face was as stoic as ever.

It took a while almost up to a minute before Liam responded. "Sure." Finally here it comes.

The only one who had an excited and proud smile on was no one else but Catherine.
