Chapter 20

Stella's POV

I sat there as she hauled my glass of water all over me taking me by surprise, my dress was soaked already.

“Do not come to my work place and ever talk to me in this manner that you did.” She said to me, her eyes blazing in anger. I had never seen her this upset all the while I have known Tara.

I was drenched, if not soaked, I froze for a moment trying to decipher what my next action would be.

“Did you just pour water all over_” I stood up abruptly,

“Next time you think twice before you open that gutter you call your mouth to insult me, I would not take it from you.” She said her eyes blazing in anger.

I couldn't take the embarrassment, I glared at her, everyone was looking at me trying to know what my next move would be. I could see them whisper amongst themselves. They looked at me with scorn all over their faces like I was harassing a staff.

How dare she reduced me to nothing in public, I raised my hand to slap her across the face when my hand froze and hung on the air as a large cold hand stopped my hands from landing on her face.

I stood there, as I raised my eyes to meet with a demigod, if not the most handsome man on the planet, I looked at him, his cold eyes stared at me with contempt. His handsome face squeezed into a frown.

My words choked me, as I looked at him, he let go of my hand but I was still under the duress of what his looks left me.

“You do not assault a staff in my company, I suggest you leave, ma'am before it gets worst.” He says with an irritated voice, he then turned to Tara with a look of concern written all over his face,

“Are you okay?” He asked, she simply nodded, he then turned to me, it was then I recognized this face, at first I couldn't, because I was taken by surprise.

Andrews Hill. The owner of there Hills Enterprise. It was his picture I admired at the lobby just no but he was more handsome in person.

“Ma'am?” He called, making me flinch a bit, bringing me out of my thoughts.

“You need to leave.” He said again, I looked at Tara, jealousy washed all over my face as I stared at her. Why is she always the lucky one?” I asked myself, I frowned, fixing my gaze on her as I grabbed my bag from the table, looking at everyone who seemed to be Interested in our brawl,

“Rubbish.” I cursed under my breathe then stormed out of the company, as shame washed me, I went there to warn her about Carlos but ended up getting thrown by her boss,

“But what is going on between them, he seemed to care too much for a boss.” I said to myself as I walked into my car as the driver drove me home. I was drenched by not just the water but the insults, Tara had hauled on me.

……

Storming into the house, I was furious and as I kicked the door open, the butler ran up to me,

“Ma'am, are you okay?” He asked, I shot him a glare,

“Will you take you dirty self out of my way, you smelly thing!!?” I cursed under my breathe to his hearing, I pushed him out of my way as I headed up stairs to my room.

I threw my bag on the bed furious, flinging my heels,I glared at the mirror, the reflection of my angry self showed, in anger I tossed all makeup on the vanity chair to the floor.

“Aaarreghhhh!!!!” I yelled aloud. “ Damn you! Tara!! I hate you!!” I yelled, my yes hot and red in anger.

I laid down there for a while trying to calm myself down but it was not working, I took off my wet clothes tossing it into the garage bin, Carlos nhas just bought that for me and I had barely wore it before that witch ruined it.

I headed for the bathroom, as I let the water wash away all the anger I was feeling inside of me. This was just the beginning, I would so take Tara down. This was not the end.

She should thank her stars she had a savior today. She would not be lucky the next time. The water wash over me freely as I stood under the shower. After I was done. I wrapped my towel around my waist as I walked out of the bathroom.

I dried my body and then, picked out a simple short flora too with a blue bum short Jean. I packed my hair into a messy bun. I was finally calm but I was still pissed off, but before I could seat, my door flung open,

Carlos walked in,

“How dare you!” He roared, his eyes red in anger as he glared at me.

“What…what…what do you mean?” I stammmed as I stood, unable to get my words straight into a sentence to make sense.

“Did you you go to Hills Enterprise?” This time he banged the table, so hard that I flinched.

Was he upset that I went over to warn her her, how could he?

“Yes!!!” I yelled back, “ You slowly slipping away from me, Carlos. I need to put her in her place.”

“So you went there! Do you know what your carelessness has caused me!” He yelled back causing me to flinch.

“Are you defending her right now, Carlos! I am the one you love and not her?!!” Did he forget so soon, my heart tore into a thousand pieces, he didn't even want to hear my side of the story but instead charge at me like I'm the cause of everything when I am the victim.

He stared intently at me, I immediately kept quiet,no was done for, I need no prophecy to tell me that.

“You'll regret ever stepping foot in that place “ he said, my heart sank to my stomach in fear.

“I'm finished.”
