As i walked downstairs i could hear screaming from the living room, it was mostly Katherine and Kalix, and in between them Logan was speaking — a word or two... As i got closer to the last step, their words got clearer.
"She won't be going anywhere with you anymore!" Kalix shouted
"She is my daughter i can do whatever i want with her... !" Katherine shouted back.
"She is not your daughter!" Kalix fumed with anger.
As i stepped on the last step i saw the scene before me... Kalix's face was all red, he was fuming in anger and Katherine's expressions were also the same but she sounded less angry.
As they sensed my presence they both calmed down as Katherine sat beside Logan on the couch.
"Laurel, be ready at 4, we have been invited to a tea party"
She said... more like ordered...
"WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND MY SISTER WON'T BE GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU!" Kalix's voice roared as silence surrounded all of us in living room.
Logan was quite this time, and didn't say a single word like he had lashed on Kalix yesterday.
"Father, I told you before and I'm repeating it again...i don't want to see your wife...even a feet near my sister, and after where she sent her this time ... I don't even want her breathing on her." Kalix said his part as Logan nodded.
This whole time my eyes were on Katherines face, and felt as her expressions dropped when Logan agreed to Kalix.
The maids sensing the situation better than before came to call us for breakfast... Logan sat on the main chair on the end of the table...while Kalix sat besides me...and just like that day at ice parlour he pulled my chair for me and then sat on his own...right opposite to Katherines chair.
I was appalled at this family's duality, it didn't even feel like there had been an argument of some kind— a major argument of a kind.
It was difficult trying to eat a simple omelette...i repeat a simple omelette with a freaking fork and knife!
So I kept the fork and knife aside and applied jam on bread and ate it as i saw Kalix eating it.
After breakfast I followed Kalix to see him off, his brow scrunched seeing me follow him like a kid...
"What happened?" He asked, trying to suppress a smile with his cold voice.
I flinched at the sudden question, freezing on my steps.
"W...what?"
"I asked...what happened" he brought his face a little down before flicking my forehead
I yelped rubbing my forehead..
"What was that for, stupid!" I groaned.
"There....there...there it is" his finger moving at me ... Letting out an exasperated sigh he mocked me.
"W....w...what" he mimicked my stutter, exaggerating my tone.
"Shut up i didn't talk like that! Go to hell!" His acting infuriated me as i stomped on his shoe,. making him groan and walked back inside my room.
"What does he think of himself, stupid man firstly i went to see him off and thank him, thank you my foot...i won't even acknowledge anything he does for me anymore..." I muttered as i entered my room and stopped on my way when i saw the closest door open and voices coming from there...
I slowly walked in my closet, without making any noise and slammed the door open.
Standing in front of me was Katherine along with two maids who were taking quite a look on my clothes, inside my purses...amd everything, it looked more like a raid...
"What in the world is happening here!" I was surprised at the view before me.
WHAT THE HELL!
Instead of feeling ashamed for being caught red handed, she stood Infront of me arrogantly, folding her arms across her chest.
"What do you think I'm doing here, I'm trying to keep an eye on you. Do you think i require your permission to go through your stuff." She spat her words at me.
I furrowed my brows at her words
"Excuse me?" I was taken aback by her condescending tone.
"You heard me" she spat back, same tone of arrogance filled within.
"Leave...if you don't want Kalix to know about these actions of yours...get out of my room"
She was surprised by my tone.
"How dare you talk to me in this tone, young lady!"... stomping her feet she walked upto me grabbing my chin.
"Don't forget how i have been supporting you with all your scandals". Her tone was harsh, as if she was trying to make me remember all the favours she might have done for Laurel.
"Kalix can do it too ...just like he will handle you and all the things you are doing to get father against us".
She gritted her teeth and yanked my face back and stepped out of my room along with the maids...
I will make sure to remember those two maids... And have Kalix teach them a lesson... I thought while massaging my jaw, what is she? A wrestler? how can she have such a tight grip.
I shook my head, remembering ...how I was taking Kalix's name in every single thing...Kalix this, Kalix that ...and not only to my own self but even Katherine...
I shouldn't get used to it— I shouldn't get used to things that are not mine... including this room, the luxuries... The house...the support...the brother.
My eyes roamed around the whole closet which was, once again messed up... The shelves that were ruined yesterday were totally untouched today...
At least one thing was confirmed... Katherine was the one who came into my room yesterday.
Clearing my mind i got up and began cleaning my closet...the day had barely passed and I'm once again organising the closest i had organised not even 13 hours ago.
I folded all the t-shirts and kept the pile properly in its shelf, as i was hanging the coats i was welcomed by a weird sight.
"What is that?". I mumbled under my breath as i walked closer to the shelf, noticing a weird rectangular scraped on the wall.
