Chapter 49 - SHAWNEY GOT HURT

Taking it out of the wardrobe, 'No one had seen her with it. I know it will fit Shawney perfect and the same jewelry will work.'

Entering the room with the dress for Shawney, hearing the water running, I rest the dress on the bed and return to my room to change my suit which was soil with ice cream and cocktail.

Putting on a white suit then walk down the stairs, seeing that the floor was clean where the desert was, spill.

Taking a plate, I recalled the food she ordered at the restaurant and take out some for her then take it up to the room for her.

She was already dressed and she looks even more beautiful, 'Should I propose to her now we are alone?

Torren could see she was in pain, although she wasn't saying anything. Sitting on the bed next to her. "Here eat this then we will go downstairs."

"You go ahead Torren I will come in a while." Watching her for a moment seeing she held the foot.

'Now is not the right time, she is hurting from the fall and the embarrassment. She might reject me outright. I have to choose a happy moment to make my proposal.'

Standing up saying, "You eat and I am going downstairs to send up Liz with something for you to drink."

"Torren, thank you so much."

Seeing the nodded then he walks away pulling the door behind him half-close.

Holding the bed headrail to stand up, the dress was covering the wound. Having to hold up the dress a bit so the blood won't soil, the dress.

As the tears seep through the eyelids, feeling the pain was so intense, and she could barely walk.

"Why did Aunty had to be so wicked, and kick me? Now I cannot walk so how will I return downstairs."

Turning when Liz said, "Let me see that foot?" When she raised the dress slightly higher for Liz to examine the wound.

Hearing her say, "Try to eat a little and I will be back in a few minutes with something to apply on your knee, and a pain tablet?" Hurrying out of the room.

Seeing Liz coming down the stairs, "Liz, why is Shawney still in her room?" Train inquires.

"Sir, from what I overheard her whispers, she didn't misbalance as she told the young master. Sir, her Aunt kick her that's how she fell.

Sir, her knee is bruise real bad and she is unable to walk, I am going to get her a pain killer and something for the wound, and to rub the foot it has swollen."

"Thanks, Liz try and do your best." Anger boils from deep within but Train just walks to the front of the house, so he won't say anything.

Candis walk away when Julien said, "Mom I am ashamed of you, why did you have to kick her, now she doesn't have a dress to wear?"

"Very good, let her stay indoors so there won't be any flaunting of herself, as though she is some sort of queen?"

Carl notices what had occurred when Torren took her upstairs not wanting to intervene, so he stood aside watching the family.

Noticing when Candis leave and smile as she walks to where Jeff was, who was smiling when Shawney fell.

Inching a bit closer only to overheard Jeff and Candis talking, "Her family is some real characters." Candis whispers to Jeff

"Tell me about it?" Jeff laugh.

Scoping through the crowd for Travis, seeing him leaning by the kitchen chatting with a young lady;

Thinking 'This is perfect!' then went next to them, "I see you two are enjoying the party?"

"Yes, we are," Candis replies.

"Have you seen Careen, I am trying to find her, I heard that she have to make a presentation in the morning?"

"Carl, it is only ten-o-clock."

"I know but she has to take the baby into consideration, and get her rest. Will you help me find her?"

Hearing Candis mutter something then walks away, standing next to Jeff, "Look at that?"

"What!"

"Shawney, she is even more beautiful now than before."

"Good Lord doesn't anything stop her?" Jeff replies.

"You want to stop her Jeff? First you have to go through me and dad."

"What the hell are you talking about Carl?"

"I was listening to you and Candis, look at her now, laughing at someone else is not a good thing brother.

Observing Dad going to them, "I wonder which is worse, Shawney falling or Candis making a scene?"

"Why are you against Travis so much?"

"Because my brother, he is a womanizer and a gold digger. Shawney doesn't want Torren money, all she wants for him is to feel better and to be happy.

If you haven't realized yet, she is the one who will keep him sane, but it appears, you don't care? Sometimes, I feel you are glad when he misbehaved and smash things?"

"Carl, you don't understand."

"What is there to understand Jeff?"

"Carl, the day Torren gets a wife who knows what change will take place in this house?"

"Jeff which is more important, being in this house or his happiness? You and your wife have a job so what is the problem?

Don't you think you should trust him? He has always taken care of us, but all this belongs to him?

Though matter who comes into his life, he will not change for worse but for betterment?

Dalia was good for him, but you and Candis keep pushing wedge and finding ways to instigate problem, putting him in the middle, so he had to choose?

Dad already warns you and Candis about the house, and all the luxury that goes with it. You better don't stir up trouble?

Dad treats our wives better than us, so if you want to destroy your marriage? Go right ahead and interfere with Torren and brother you will be the one who will regret?"

Looking at Carl walk away, thinking, 'He is such a fool, when Torren is in the hospital the house has peace, even Candis and Travis behaved.'
