Marriage and Annulment

I got in my car and drove away from the restaurant after Uncle Conrad had left. I’m so tired that I just want to sleep. I was outside the mansion in half an hour. Before I opened the gate, I took a deep breath. I’m furious with Mr. Ching right now; his inebriation shouldn’t be an excuse for him to hurt me. I used the remote control to open the gate.

I also drove the car in. I intend to take a bath in order to remove the traces of Mr. Ching kiss   on my neck and chest. I want to kick him and punch him some more. Nobody has the right to insult or disrespect me. I hope he never comes back to see me again. I exited the vehicle. And walked into the mansion. They were all in the living room, which I discovered. Their entire attention was on me.

“Are you all right, Miss? It’s like five men chased you with your looks and the sweat on your face,” Lucianna inquired.

I walked up to them and sat down.

“Can I please have some water first? I’m very thirsty.”

Lucy stood up and walked to the kitchen. He returned a split second later and handed me a glass of water.

“Thank you very much,”

I’ve already consumed the water. And I’m relieved. I’ll just get dressed for a moment and return later. They were all nodding.

I entered the room. I stripped naked and proceeded to the restroom. I’ve already started bathing. Mr. kissed a part of my skin that I had covered with my hand. Chin. I was furious and offended. Only once in my thirty-two years of life have I encountered a man’s rudeness.

I stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around my entire body. I went into the closet and changed into a dress. After leaving the bedroom, I went back to the living room. I noticed that they were all staring at a man. Uncle Conrad was already on his way. The sight of all the girls surprised him.

“Hello, Zaneska, who are they all, and why are there so many?” my Uncle asks, a smile on his face.

“Why are you perplexed about who among them all is truly beautiful?”

“Hmmm, they’re all lovely,” uncle replied. But I noticed Uncle’s gaze was fixed on Laica.

“They’ve been my family for almost four years, and they’re the ones who are with me here in the mansion,” I explained.

“It appears to be very exciting for me to live here when I see what I see.” Uncle Conrad’s office.

“Really? Who are you?” Laica inquired, her eyebrow raised.

In my head, I laughed. Uncle Conrad bursts out laughing.

“What about you? Don’t you want to see me? Or don’t you want me here anymore? It’s just that I noticed you raised an eyebrow at me earlier, Zaneska. Didn’t you tell them who I am?”

“No, Uncle, you must introduce yourself.”

“Hmm, by the way, my name is Conrad, and I’m Zaneska’s Uncle. I’m his mother’s step brother, in case you’re wondering. Well, anyway, long story. You can call me Uncle, except that woman with short hair.”

The girls were about to laugh at Laica when they realized her eyebrows were already raised.

“Why is that? You can’t be called Uncle anymore, grandpa is better for you,” Laica explained as they walked into the room together.

“That woman’s patience is too short, Zaneska; where will my room be? I need to sleep,” he said to me.

“All right, Uncle,” I said, “I’ll just go with you.”

“Goodbye, ladies.”

“That’s fine.”

Uncle and I went to the guest room together.

“Before all the stuff here, uncle, so it’s fine; you can sleep comfortably,” I explained.

“Thank you, but I’m not picky, and by the way, what’s her name with short hair?”

“Hello, my name is Laica.”

“Really? She’s lovely; I like her,” Uncle said.

I’m cracking up.

“Isn’t he ugly? He’s like your child, if you look,” I said.

“What’s wrong with that? Is there an age preference when it comes to love?” he asked. “Unless she’s single anymore, I mean if she already has a boyfriend. Doesn’t she have a boyfriend?”

“You should ask her; I’m not privy to their personal lives,” I replied.

Uncle burst out laughing.

“Of course, go ahead, but you should sleep as well, Zaneska.”

I gave a nod. I returned to the living room. Except for Laica, who had already entered the room, they were still sitting. Uncle was probably embarrassed by the fact that he was staring at him. I took a seat next to Lucianna.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“How’s your date going?” Genie inquired.

“Disaster, Mr. Chin is trying to do bad things to me; it would be better if Uncle Conrad came, otherwise he might have raped me; and it’s really outside the bar house,” was my response.

“What? Did I mention that? That man isn’t going to do well,” Lazzy said.

“Won’t you complain, Miss? To get that man back to where he came from?” Mila asked.

“No, but don’t he think to come to me because if he does, I’ll report him.” I said.

“It’s best if you find out about his behavior early, Miss, so he can stop flirting with you,” Hanna advised.

I exhaled a sigh.

“All right, girls, go to bed because it’s late,” I said.

I went into my bedroom first and fell asleep. I got up early the next day because I wanted to go to Calvin’s house. I’ll go when he is already in the office so we don’t saw each other. I went to bed after using the bathroom. When I left the room, I was already dressed. I immediately go to the kitchen. Uncle Conrad was standing in the way of Laica when I arrived. What I saw made me smile.

“Let me go! What are you doing? You act like an adult; maybe you forgot you were in your forties,” Laica exclaimed.

“Why aren’t you listening to me? I’ve been talking to you properly before, and if you had just talked to me, I wouldn’t have blocked you here,” Uncle explained.

“What do you care if I don’t talk to you? We won’t know each other. Just leave the door. When I became  of going to the office, I’ll cut your head off,” Laica raged.

“I won’t let you through unless you speak to me politely.”

“All right, fine.”

“Thank you, Sweetheart,” Uncle said as he hugged Laica.

The thought made me laugh. When I walked into the kitchen, Laica had already left.

“Hmmm, Uncle, it’s only in the morning that the rest of us have a bad day,” I observed.

“I was irritated because she didn’t pay attention to me, so I woke up in the morning to cook all of you breakfast,” he explains.

“You’re in such a hurry, but you still know something,” I pointed out.

“She’s stunning even without make-up.”

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

“I’m going somewhere now, Uncle, and the girls will come into the company; you can hang out in my office there so you’re not alone here,” I said.

He gave a nod.

“Are you not going to eat?” he inquired.

“I’m still full, so I’ll eat there,” I explained.

I have now exited the mansion. I called Arthur first to make sure we only used his car.

“Hello, where have you gone?”

“Why? I’m in the office?” he asked.

“Are you not busy? Could you accompany me to Carol’s house?”

“Of course, when?”

“I’m outside the mansion right now; I’ll be waiting for you here, so we’ll just use your car,” I explained.

“That’s fine.”

I’m going to hang up the phone. I only had to wait half an hour for Arthur’s car to come to a stop in front of me.
