Alicia you can't imagine how happy I am. "Oo definitely I can tell from your voice. So now tell me where are you? "I'm in his house girlfriend,but I will be leaving to my apartment this afternoon. "Now that explains why Jeff wasn't present here to welcome Leo. "I'm happy for you Daisy.

"And all this happened because of you, I wouldn't have met my prince charming if it wasn't for you. "Oo so now he's your prince....

Sorry Daisy but I will call you later,I have a husband situation to deal with right now.

Urhmmm I know....I...she stammered as she spoke, she was so scared of the look thrown at her,she didn't know he was behind her all that while she spoke on the phone and now she is certainly going to die in his hands.

"Who asked you to change the theme of my bedroom...he intoned in harsh tones. "I...I

You know what,you can't live in darkness forever if you wish to then fine that's your problem but I don't wish to live in this darkness with you.

"Darkness cannot drive darkness away, it's only light that can drive darkness away"

Excuse me I need to attend to your Sister. Alicia walked passed him banging the door hard.

Alice your gown is ready. "Really Alicia...she exclaimed with joy. And as for the jewelry Ricky will be delivering it tomorrow. You're going to be the most beautiful homecoming Queen. Martha please bring the dress....Alicia ordered. "Yes ma'am".

Ma'am the dress is here. "Thanks Martha. "Oo my gosh Alicia this is soo beautiful. I knew you had excellent taste in fashion. "Oo you flutter me Alice. This is nothing, I want you to be perfect on that day and of course I'm here if you need any help. "Thanks Alicia you're the best.

"What's going on here?...Lisa barged in.

Alicia immediately stood up from her seat as she smiled politely at Lisa. "Mom look Alicia selected my gown. Isn't it lovely Mom?

Of course it is, I thought I would be the one choosing your gown but it's okay I can see you already have someone to do that.

Ma'am Lisa I didn't mean to.....

"It's enough Alicia...Lisa yelled. You already have my son's respect and support and now you wish to steal my motherly duties from me by manipulating my youngest???

"Mother don't say such things, no one can take your place in my heart. I only asked Alicia to help cause you were busy with Dad, Aunt Stacy and the most anticipated Riverson ball.

"Oo so now it's my fault then. "I didn't say that mama". " Alice I will ask Martha to send this gown back ..... Alicia intoned.

No Alicia,I love the gown and I will wear it for homecoming. Lisa walked out of the room with a solemn look on her face.

Guys we have three days to plan this, we can't fail. Class will be ineffective starting today so we can have a lot of time in planning this.... Alice blurted.

Urhm so to begin with, Alice and Japheth will start practicing their dance today. Michael you're in charge of the decorations. Ronald can you buy the crowns??....Marga asked. "Yh of course leave that to me. Alice may we know the amount of money you are planning on spending on this event...Luciana asked.

I've sent 500,000 dollars to the council's account. "Half a million Logan squeaked.

Yh is it not enough,she asked with a quirked brow???

"Nonsense Alice it's more than enough, thanks so much for your generosity.... Ronald blurted.

"Oo there's no need Ronald. Alice looked over at Japheth who had a displeased look on his face. "She smiled at him but he glared at her with hatred. She immediately dropped her smile. What happened suddenly,I thought we were cool... Alice wondered.
