Chapter 15 Revenge
Janelle’s Pov.
Beck went directly to her house but promised to send a maid over to the mansion that will help in treating my eye and other things.
George entered when I was arranging my cloths in the wardrobe.
I turned to him and watched as he went to the bed and collapsed on it.
I let’s out a sigh and continue with what i was doing.
After I was done, I went to meet him.
He was burying his face in the pillow.
“George.”I called.
He didn’t reply.
“George.”I called again.
That was when he lift his head up from the pillow to look at me.
But, he still didn’t say a word.
Okay?…
“Why are you doing this?, is this all about what I told you back in Paris?.. maybe I shouldn’t have told you then. You’re wrong, we have to lie to each other sometimes if the thing will affect the other. Why are you giving me silent treatment?.”I expounded.
He scoffed,”this is merely a silent treatment.”
I paused and also scoffed.
Oh, really?.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Then silent treatment shall it be for both of us.
Let see who it will affect the most.
I walked out of his sight and went to the living room.
I turned the TV on with the remote and started watching a film on soap opera.
My mind drifted back to work and I sighed.
I guess I will have to go tommorow.
I pray I haven’t lost my job..
I stood up and walked to the kitchen and returned back with a bowl of popcorn.
**
Two maids sent by Beck arrived.
One would be cleaning the whole house and the other will be cooking.
Their names are Evelyn and Gracia.
Evelyn is the cook and Gracia is the cleaner. She will also be treating my eye.

*Night.*
After eating the food prepared by Gracia, I headed to the room.
I changed into my pyjamas and went to lie down on the bed.
A knock landed on the door and I turned towards it.
“Yeah?, who is it?.”I asked.
“It’s Evelyn, ma’am. Can I come in?.”she replied from the other side.
“Oh, come in.”I said as I sat up.
The door opened and she came in with a bowl of water.
“Good evening, ma’am.”she greeted cheerfully.
“Yeah, Evelyn.”I smiled.
She stop when she got to where I was and placed the bowl gently on the table.
She brought out an towel from the bowl and squeezed out water out of it.
She placed it gently on my right eye for a long time.
“Ouch.. that was hot.”I pouted.
“Then, I’m sorry ma’am. I will be calmer with the next one.”she smiled.
She seems friendly.
The door opened with George coming in. He shut the door behind me and turned around.
He paused when he saw Evelyn and tucked his phone in his trouser pocket.
He started walking towards us and I took my eyes away from him.
“Hey. You can leave. I will handle the rest.”he said to Evelyn.
“But..”she tried to protest but stopped.
“Okay, sir.”she stood up from the bed and left.
He came to sit in front of me and I rolled my eyes.
“Does it hurt so much?.”he asked.
“As if you care.”I scoffed.
He sighed and dipped his hand inside the water and brought out the towel.
He used it to mop my eyes and I let’s out a slight groan.
“Gosh.. that water is hot.”I complained painfully.
“Sorry.”he said.
Ugh!.
“I think that will do for today.”I said as I placed my palm on the affected eye.
“Oh, okay.”he said.
“By the way, I’m sorry for what I did earlier. I.. I didn’t mean to…”he apologized.
I rolled my eyes at him.
He moved closer to me and stroke my cheek.
My hand left my eye unconsciously and I stared at him.
He brought his head closer to mine but i moved back.
“Ew!.. what do you think you’re doing?.”I asked repugnantly.
What does he thinks he is?.
Does he thinks he can hurt me like that and come back at me and do whatever he wants any time?.
I lie down on the bed and pulled the duvet up to cover up my face.
