Chapter 84

She Is A Fake

Freya wandered mindlessly towards the house hallway and she murmured at intervals probably wondering what she was doing.

She was asked to go and get some things in the storage room that was down the hall and she hurried so that she would not get scolded by the head of maids.

"This house is too huge! Where is the storage room once again?" Freya blurted out scratching her head as she looked at the place in confusion.

It wasn't long that Freya started working in Maurice's house so she still hasn't found her way around it.

"Maybe it's that room..or that room!" Freya pointed at different room doors randomly, and she sighed wondering why there was no indication on the door.

"Maybe I should just go back and ask the head maid for directions," Freya murmured, going back, but her steps halted when she heard a muffled sound from one of the rooms and she was surprised to hear that.

Freya was shocked to hear the sounds from the empty hallways and she wondered what was going on.

'Could it be a ghost?' she pondered, but she shook her head seeing that was not plausible.

"What would a ghost be doing at the master's house," Freya mumbled, and she wondered if she should go and peek into the room where the voice was coming from.

"But if I get caught staring that is going to be my problem," Freya murmured, and she tiptoed gently towards the room and she was fortunate to find the room not locked so she could see who was in the room.

'Ms. Penelope and Benedicta? What are they doing there?' Freya wondered, and she decided to leave seeing that was none of her business but the next words she heard from the woman made her stick to her position.

"What did you do in the dining hall? Did you want to die so much!" Benedicta raised her voice, and Freya was not surprised at her bullying nature.

She knew that Benedicta was a bully, but what she didn't understand was why Benedicta was bullying someone she claimed to be her friend.

It was no news to anyone that Benedicta and Penelope were close but seeing Benedicta shouting at her shows her that something was up.

"What did I do wrong? I just air my thoughts, how is that a problem," Penelope says, with a fierce look.

"What! You are not allowed to air your opinion, b^^^h I do not give you that right," Benedict says, slapping Penelope's cheeks.

"Stop touching me!" Penelope yelled glaring at Benedicta and she was taken aback at her actions.

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me!" Benedicta snapped and Freya's eyebrow creased in confusion wondering what the argument was all about.

Penelope scoffs hearing Benedicta's words and she walks closer to her with a hard glare.

"Why can't I raise my voice at you? Who are you that I can't raise my voice at?" Penelope asked, and Benedicta chuckled.

"Wow! You really have grown some wings in just a few days, aren't you lovely?" Benedicta says, and her gaze darkened, grabbing Penelope by the neck.

Freya gasped seeing Benedicta's actions, but she knew better to cover her mouth so she didn't blow her nice cover.

"What..are..you.." Penelope's words break, and her emotions betray her as her eyes brimmed with tears showing her weakness.

"Who are you to raise your voice at me?" Benedicta says, letting her go and Penelope slumped on the floor after being released.

Penelope sucked in and hurried some air after being deprived of it and she glared at Benedicta sternly.

'Why is she taking that much torture? Can't she scream out so people can help her it's obvious Ms. Benedicta has opted her bully game again' Freya thought, and she decided to get help for the woman because she could not stomach the unfairness.

"Don't you think you are playing a dangerous game?" Freya heard Penelope's voice and she wondered why the girl had so much to say when it was obvious that she was losing.

'For someone that has so much to lose..she is really bold' Freya pondered looking at Penelope's and she decided to get justice for her.

Freya brought out her phone to record the scene and she was sure that Benedicta was going to be implicated with no way of saving herself.

"What! Are you going to rat me out? Are you going to rat us out?" She asked glaring at her, and Penelope smirked.

"Yes, if you push me too hard…I am going to rat you out. I am going to let Maurice know all that you did," Penelope says, and Benedicta is a little bit shaken hearing that.

She knew Penelope was not bluffing and she was definitely going to do that if she gets provoked. They were both unaware of the figure outside so they didn't care about what they were saying.

"Ohh so you really plan to tell him..but don't forget who is right in front of you now…I am Benedicta Heather, did you think a word from someone like you is going to bring me down?" She says, her face is not flinching a bit, doing a good job of masking her fear.

"You think so? A word from me, you and your brother are over!" Penelope yelled, and Penelope felt paralyzed.

'What is she talking about? Is she in cahoots with her?'

"What? What are you saying you..cunning b***h!" Benedicta says raising her hand to slap Penelope, but Penelope's words stop her.

"If your hand as much as grazed my skin..I am going to walk out of this room and tell Maurice everything!" Penelope bellowed, and that hung Benedicta in mid-air.

'She is threatening her now!' Freya was amused by what was happening.

"If you even think of touching a single hair on my skin I am going to make sure to tell Maurice everything…and when I mean everything I am going to tell him how you fooled him," Penelope said and Freya gasped.

'What! They fooled Maurice?' Freya creased her eyebrow not understanding the concept of the argument.

"Really? Then please don't forget to tell him that you are just an imposter, we gave the identity of the girl he was looking for!" Benedicta yelled, and Freya gasped.

'What! Penelope is fake!'
