Chapter 18
After waking up in the morning, and doing the usual ritual of bathing eating breakfast, etc. I then went and sat in my home office and called a quarter of the staff of the mansion which I used to live with my parents in.
"Hello to you all, I'm sure you’re all wondering why you’re all here," I said while looking at the 20 workers from the butler to the maids who were all crowding my office after I had called each and every one of them here. Today I going to continue and finally finish my last revenge game.
No one said anything so I continued. However, that little gentle voice, my consciousness perhaps, was pleading with me not to do what I was about to do. But just like always I ignored it and listened to the other voice in my head which was agreeing with me.
"I would like to inform you all that you are fired! And should leave with immediate effect." I said to them with a smirk on my face while sitting on my seat like a throne looking at each of their shocked reactions with a smug.
My bodyguards were in the room just in case anyone tried to touch me during this commotion.
"But why, what have we done sir?" cried one of the maids who was wearing a Christ rosary similar to that one I once found in my clothes while still staying with aunt maggie. So, she had been the one to have dropped it in my clothes. It's a shame since I remember how I threw it out.
"It's because my dear, each and every one of you worked for my parents, and when that tragedy happened with my mother dying and me becoming poor, not one of you cared enough to even offer a condolence or help me in my dire situation. So, give me a reason as to why I should not fire you?" I said to them with revenge and bitterness filling my mind remembering how they had all deserted me. After 5 years when I rebought my parents' mansion, I had rehired all the people who had worked there while my parents were alive just so that I could execute my revenge.
"But sir, we sent flowers while you were in the hospital with condolence messages and we were not allowed to visit you there to see you as we're not family. As for money, how were we to help you, when we are poor and have to work as maids, etc. to make ends meet. We have children and families who depend on us sir as breadwinners and this is all the more reason for you not to fire us. Plus, it was 5 years ago." The girl with the rosary said replying to me with tears falling down her face.
I then remembered that they had actually sent flowers as I remembered seeing some flowers by my bed with notes attached to them, but I had ignored them as they looked so cheap and I was used to seeing expensive flowers.
However, an evil voice then whispered to me about how those people did not say goodbye to me when I was leaving the mansion in my weakest moment, therefore I was not going to forgive them for that.
"I've made up my mind, and that is, you are all fired. Leave my mansion before I call my bodyguards upon you all to assault you." I said to in my scariest voice.
Some started leaving but not before another came to beg on her knees before me.
"Please I beg of you, don't do this to us. I need this job and have nothing. What am I going to do about my 5 children who are waiting for me to bring food for them to eat and money for school fees? Please, sir, don’t do this to us, think about our poor children." she said begging me with tears falling on her face.
I ignored her plea with my heart stone cold and called one of my bodyguards who came and removed her from me.
