CHAPTER TEN

I couldn't wait till the plane landed. Zavid sent me a message that he would let the driver come and get me. Why do I feel disappointed though, but what was I expecting from him though. I stared at the window as the plane landed. The old Celestina is gone. I showed no emotion as I walked out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mother."

I saw the whole family seated there, they looked perfect always without me. Feeling like a stranger in my own home that's if i could ever call it that.

"What are you doing here?"

I didn't reply but threw the documents at her. She picked them up, as she went through them her hands shook and her face turned pale white.

"What's this?"

"What's the meaning of this?"

What an actress, she should go for the oscars then.

"Shouldn't I be the one with questions?"

"So my dear mother I also would like to know what these documents mean." I smiled coldly.

"Is that how to talk to your mother young la..."

"Oh please stop the act and stick your nose out of my business like you've been doing for years now." My step-dad looked shocked that I spoke back .

"CELESTINA!!!!!" He yelled out.

"If I were you I'll shut that tramp you call moth Mr. Davis."

My step siblings gasped at my choice of words but i could care less. My aim today is to get answers even if I have to cause a ruckus here.

"Are you gonna start talking or do I have to force the answers out myself?"

I raised a brow at here but she still chose to remain silent, typical.

"Then I guess I'll the questions then.

I comfortably made my way and took a set and stared straight at her. She turned away feeling uncomfortable by my gaze not that i care.

"Why did you hide if you knew who my father was?"

All the color drained from her face.

"Won't you answer or are you gonna remain standing there like a dummy."

"Show me some respect I'm your mother." She yelled out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My mother you say." Celestina smiled coldly and burst into laughter filled with mockery.

"Respect you you, that's never given but earned and my dear mother in what way have you earned my respect."

"Yes you are a mother but only to them, you have never being my mother so don't use that statement on me dear mother." She said with her tone filled with disgust.

"Let me refresh your memory, do you remember when i had a fever at eight , do you recall your statement. Well if you don't let me help you, you said so what if she has a fever let her die for all I care what a waste of space and money lazy brat, now tell me which mother can hate her child so much."

"Celestina."

"Roberto , what are you gonna do?"

She stared at his raised hand and laughed as though she saw the funniest thing.

"You want to hit me, slap me, a Costa I might not be powerful on my own but you should remember that you bow to my husband and I'm no longer that defenseless stupid girl, first weigh your worth before you come at me." 

She smirked.

"So you bow to me." She laughed softly.

"I will only ask ask one last time, who is my father?"

But it seemed Mrs. Davis had no intention of telling her as she turned her face away.

"You know, every child deserves a mother but not all women deserve to be mothers and it seems you fall in this category. Because I can feel your hate which i don't understand. I never asked to be born but if I had the power the first thing I would do is change who ever gave birth...."

"PAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The sound was so shocking in the room. Celestina stared at her mother coldly as the elderly women shivered under her gaze. So alike she whispered in her heart. Celestina smiled which surprised everyone then she started laughing. She turned to Mr. Davis

"Check your email." He had a bad feeling as he opened his phone. Proof of everything he had done over the years and it was scary to watch as he thought he had destroyed everything leaving no clue.

"How?" He asked and she laughed

"So now you're gonna tell your dear wife to go on her knees and beg me." He stared at the young woman who had looked calm but had an eerie look in her eyes and it sent chills down his spine.

"Celes....." she raised her hand to stop him before he could talk and watched her watch

" Ten seconds tick tock." She moved her hand in motion as she spoke."

"APOLOGISE." his voice resounded in the room."

"Marcus!" Her mother exclaimed shocked by her husbands cold tone.

"Now." His tone gave no room for manuver.

" You know what never mind I doubt that will be from her heart but on thing is keep a tight leash your pet, she might just go and start biting people and you might offend people you're not supposed to."

She picked up the document and her purse prepared to leave.

"One more thing from today on I'm not your family and neither are you. We don't know each other, in short I want to severe all ties with your family."

"Sister."

"Please don't disgust me any farther and I'm sure you're happy."

She stared at her family one last time and exited the mansion leaving them staring at her back. They were shocked by her attitude today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Madame are you alright?" The driver asked staring at the mark on my cheek.

"Yes let's head back." He opened the door as i got into the car. I felt relieved upon ending my relationship with my toxic family, that's if I can call them that.

I unlocked my phone and saw a missed call from Aunt Zoe. She's such a nice woman. I wonder how she'll react knowing I'm her husbands daughter. Little did I know they found out before me.

But that's a story for later.

Was Celestina right reacting like that?

What was her mother's story?

How will Zavid react?

Please I am against disrespecting our parent and elders. This is just for the story line and it is purely fictional. Where I come from you'll need a good spanking from disrespecting those older than you.

So always remember no matter the situation always accord respect where needed.
