Chapter 19
Nomsa
"Ma'am, we are still waiting for you to buy your ticket, the seats for the flight you want are almost sold out"
"No please, create a space for me. My brother is not answering his phone. He is going to pay with a card. Please I really need to take this flight"
"Who is your brother anyway?"
"David Maynard is my brother"
"David?" When I said that, everyone in the room raised their heads to look at me.
Assistant 1: What's your name?"
"I'm Nomsa"
Assistant 2: Nomsa Maynard or? Are you really his sister?" The second assistant asked
"No, I am his cousin sister"
"Okay Nomsa, don't worry,,, hey you big head, please help Ms Nomsa to carry her bags to the plain, give her the most comfortable seat ever. She must feel comfortable"
That's what I hated, that's why sometimes I would just say I'm Nomsa and stop talking about David, I really hated being treated differently from others, like a princess or a Queen who ruled the world, I didn't like that.
Anyway my birthday was around the corner and my brother was paying for the flight with his card, no wonder why he wasn't answering my calls. I was helped to carry my monarch, in my hands I was holding flowers for Ariel. I took my phone and called Dee again, oh wait, everyone else called him David or Dav, but I called him brother Dee. So I called Dee again, and he answered
... My handsome brother why were you not answering your phone?
"Hello sweet sister, well I was busy with someone I'm sorry for that"
📱.. Fine, how is my little Barbie, Ariel doing? Have you found yourself a girlfriend yet, or are you still single?
"I think I've found someone"
📱.. What? Oh my gosh! Is she beautiful? Sexy? And adorable?
"Long blonde hair, gorgeous eyes, perfect body" he replied. I smiled, I was so happy to hear that David had found a girlfriend, finally
📱... If you don't mind I would love to see her, I mean you should invite her to my birthday party, deal?
"Fine deal, when you arrive at the airport tell me. Bruno will come and pick you up"
The call disconnected
Alessia
At home
It was already dark, I went to the kitchen to cook something for Mandy and me to eat. There was no food in the house, we had the money that David had given us, I went to Mandy's room and knocked,
" Let's go to the market to buy some food"
" Ok! Let's go" she replied. We locked our doors and went out to the market, the market was a bit far, we had to take an Uber but we just walked. I wanted to refresh my mind.
"Mandy I know you want to go to school, I'm going to make a plan for you"
"Let's deal with my mom's matter first Alessia, we'll see about school. And I think I owe you an apology. I'm so sorry for the way I talked to you at the hospital, you didn't deserve that. I'm the one who started talking about the pregnancy. But I gave you all the blame. I'm sorry Alessia"
"It's okay, let the past be"
We finally got to the market, and I asked Mandy what she wanted to eat,
"What should we buy? What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Anything" she replied. "Anything?" I asked
"Yeah"
"Hello sir, do you have lettuce? Carrots, green paper and beetroot?" I asked him
"Yes please, all of that costs $17 dollars"
"Add lamb meat please"
"Okay here you go"
"Let's go back home little bum" I teased Mandy. On the way back home, we took an Uber as it was getting too dark. We reached home as soon as I entered my phone started ringing
📱...Hello?
"Hello, is this Ms. Alessia Williams?" The man on the call asked...
📱.. Yes what's wrong? Is this a call from the hospital or?
"This is a call from St John's College, I am Headmaster Wilton. I have good news for you. Your niece should come and learn here for free, I mean beam will take care of it"
📱... What? Is Mandy supposed to study at St John's? Look Mr. Wilton, that school is expensive for us. We cannot afford it. So thank you so much but she can't learn there, despite the fact that we don't have money for transport too. Per month we'll need like $50 dollars for transport, the lunch? The school fees? No we can't afford...
" No, no, no, transport for free. Then school fees, I said beam is the one paying?
📱...Mr Wilton thank you so much for your kind heart but how do you even know my niece Mandy. We don't need help, we are fine. Did Ethan send you?
"Nobody sent me ok."
📱... So why are you doing all these favors? We are fine.
"No Ms Alessia, tomorrow Mandy should come to school. By 6AM she should have finished preparing, because that is the time she will be picked up by her car at the gate, returning at 4PM"
📱...I think tomorrow I should accompany her to that school, I have a lot of questions to ask. There's no beam. You're l..." before I could finish talking the call was already disconnected
"Alessia are you okay? Who was on the call? Ethan?"
"Headmaster of St John's College"
"You mean you were talking to him? Seriously? St John's College is one of the best schools in the city. So what did he say?"
"You must go to that school but I'm very worried. He lied to me. They don't want to tell the truth who will be paying the transport and school fees monthly?"
"Ohhh, that's why you're worried. Let it go ok. I'm very happy, finally I'm going to St John's... Alessia you don't know how happy I am"
"I don't want to cook anymore, I'm going to sleep. Make yourself food after that and eat and sleep, where are we going to get the uniforms from St John's? The books obviously we need new ones? School shoes?"
Back to the mansion
Bruno
"Mr David, Mr David... David?" I yelled my boss's name, as I was running to him I bumped into Pinky, she yelled
"You worker? Where are you running to? You're looking for David because you want him to speak on the call, who is on the call?" She asked. I remained quiet, I didn't want the person on the phone to hear what was happening. I rushed to David's room and found him in his room.
"Sir someone is on the call, he wants to speak to you?"
"Give me the phone..." He said while taking the phone in my hands.
"..Hello? Is it done? Did you manage to convince her. I hope she said yes?
📱..Yeah I convinced her, but she was left with questions"
"She is tough I know"
Mr David then hung up the phone and handed me my phone.
"So what am I going to do tomorrow?" I asked
" Well for now nothing, did you buy the things I ordered you to buy. ? The stuff should be sent early in the morning around 5AM but it will go by delivery, you don't have to go"
"Sure sir"
I responded to him and quickly left his room, I quickly remembered that I had to see Pinky first, I ignored her at first because I was on the call now the phone had dropped. I walked towards the sitting room where she was, she was relaxing on the couch, I just went in and sat next to her and said
"Madam know your limits, call me Bruno not worker like you did at first"
"But the fact won't change dear Bruno, you're still a worker right?"
"And you, you're still a begger too? Attention seeker? Pathetic b!tch who can't find love, who keep on throwing herself into men"
"How dare you?" She said while raising her hand to slap me. I held her hand, before she slapped me and said
"You have no flesh, just bones. Don't you ever dare try to slap me again. I'll break you into pieces"
"Wow? Did your boss tell you to disrespect all the people in this mansion? I'm going to do anything I can, to get you fired from this job"
" And I am going to do anything I can to move your dirty ass out of my boss's life. My boss loves someone else, he is in love with Alessia the beautiful blonde hair girl and we both know that.
f/ck you, because no man will ever love you except your father"
(Crying) Oh my goodness? Are you humiliating me now? Do you know who my father is?"
"Yes, a pathetic man who can't teach his daughter manners. Next time if you come my way, I'll kill you myself and throw your dead body in the sea, nobody will know or suspect anything"
"Are you now threatening me?"
Alessia
💬... Hello this is Mr Delivery driver. I have your address, tomorrow I'm delivering something to you early in the morning. Thank you. Have a great night"
"First it was school? Now delivery? What the hell is going on? Who on earth is doing us all these favors?"
