HUMILIATED
"You are bad! You hurt my mommy." Angel speaks, making Maria stop walking to , but she is determined to keep her show going.
"Sweetie, it was an accident. Besides, it didn't hurt that much, right Tania?" The -devil asks, shamelessly smiling.
Accident, huh!
"You have no right to hurt her." Angel defends me, then the bomb Andy and I were afraid of explodes. "Who are you?"
Andy and I shoot our gazes at Maria, but the bitch wears her usual crown of a , a smile that I'm growing to hate so much. It's annoying!
She closes the gap between her and Angel, kneeling before her. She tries holding
Angel's hands, but Angel pulls them away, clenching to her dad.
I told you Maria, Angel is not a dumb kid like you think. If Angel wasn't just about get hurt, I would be laughing at this devil's face right now.
Her lips lift up with a smile, parting to pave way for what she is about to say.
I swallow hard, and look at Andy, only to find him looking at me.
"I am your mo..."
"She is a guest."
"She is Maria."
What a confusing bunch of adults! Even the little kid looks at me and her dad in now. Who is she supposed to believe? It's evident that we are lying.
"Daddy, who is she?" She turns to her father.
"She is our guest, princess. Her name is Maria." He says, and turns to me. "Please her to her room for a while. I need to speak to our guest."
I nod my head, and try to take Angel from him, but Maria grabs her other hand. I go of Angel freely, avoiding any unnecessary pulling. We can't fight over the like that.
"Nobody is leaving because this needs to be settled right now and I have no room excuses. Angel has all the right to know who I am. Are you two that selfish to her off that right?" Maria screams.
"She doesn't have to find out this way, Maria. We can plan this." Andy begs.
"No. There is nothing to plan. She needs to know now." She yells again.
"Maria, please! Have mercy on the poor kid." I beg softly, but who am I talking to?
"Stay the hell out of this, Tania! You have no right being here in the first place, so the fuck up!"
"Watch your mouth in front of my daughter, woman!" Andy warns.
"Our daughter, Adrian! Our daughter!" She corrects him.
That shocks the poor girl, looking at both Andy and I in bewilderment.
Maria kneeels before the poor confused kid, taking the honour to introduce herself her daughter. The daughter she herself abandoned. The same daughter she is for her own selfish motives.
Andy takes a step forward in an attempt to take her daughter from her monstrous , but I grab his hand, stopping him. He throws me a questioning glance, but
I nod my head slightly at him, taking his hand into mine, intertwining our fingers.
Let's see what Maria has got.
Like spectators, we watch as the mother introduces herself to her daughter. I won't that I am not worried about Angel's reaction, or the hurt she has to go through this, I really am, but I am confident of the place Andy and I have in her heart.
I can bet on my life that she adores her father more than anything.
"Dear, I am your mother."
Straight to the point, as if it's the last confession she is making before dying the second. Really now? Is "dear" the only thing she could afford to prepare the girl? I mentally roll my eyes and murmur a thousand curses to her. Impatient bitch!
I can feel Andy's hand shaking in mine, and I squeeze it to calm him down. This is much he is afraid for his daughter. This is how weak he becomes when it to matters of his precious princess. She is his strength and his weakness.
She is the only thing that can bring him down to his knees. He would chose to die a deaths than to see his daughter get hurt.
Angel forcefully pulls herself from her mother, and runs to us, shocking the hell of Maria.
"No. You are not my mother." She cries out, and I shush her.
"Yes. I am your mother, Angel. Ask even your daddy if you don't believe me."
"No. My mommy is Ania. She is my mommy and not you."
"She is your NANNY!" The bitch screams her frustrations out.
"Enough, Maria!" Andy yells, bringing Maria to her feet with his outburst. "You done enough. You have told her what you wanted. You can not force her to you. Leave my daughter be for now."
"She needs to understand that I am her mother and not this witch, Adrian! She has understand that as early as now."
"And you think yelling at her is what will make her understand? Are you..."
"Yes, Adrian! I'm crazy! Do you think it's right for my daughter to replace me with woman? What manners have you been teaching her, huh?"
"Don't you dare question how I brought up my daughter. At least, I didn't abandon like you did. Where were you to teach her the manners you are talking about?"
She bows down with shame, but I know her. It won't be even be for more seconds she fires back.
Angel is so tense and confused as it is already. Poor kid! This is what I was afraid .
"That's enough you two, I beg you. Maria, don't you think the poor kid needs time process all this? You are a mother, you should understand her and..."
"You better shut your stinking tramp before I do it for you, you hear? You shouldn't sticking your nose where you have no business whatsoever. And in case you 't understand me well.." she takes a step forward, but Andy stops her before she take another one. He grabs her hand, pushing her back.
"If you dare take another step I swear on my daughter's name, I won't take for what I will do to you, and I won't even care if my precious hates me for it. Back off!" He let's go of her hand, daring her to dare the in him.
She takes a step back. She even seems to have forgotten what she was saying.
"Tania, go upstairs with Angel. I have a few things to straighten out with her." He , but I think it's me who needs to have a talk with Maria.
"No, Andy. I will be the one to explain things to her." He turns to me with a look.
"Babe, I got this. Just go with Angel, please." He pleads, but just this once, I will my way. This is my fight.
"Love," I cup his left cheek with my right hand, while I hold Angel with my right.
This is my family. I will do anything to protect and defend them, "trust me. My and I will just have a small chat. Angel needs you, Andy."
"She needs you more."
"I will be with you two in a few. This won't take long, I promise."
"Alright. But I want you two to hold your conversation here in the open, okay?"
"Okay." I give him a kiss that annoys this jealous bitch to a point of rolling her on us.
I kneel before Angel, my daughter. She doesn't want to let me go, and I find the so sweet.
"Princess? You go with daddy, okay? I will be with you soon." I explain, wiping from her eyes.
"No, mommy. I don't want her to hurt you again. I also don't believe she is my ."
"Baby, you know daddy and I can never lie to you, right?" She nods her head.
"Good. Daddy and I will explain everything, but first, I have to speak with Maria."
"What if she hurts you again, mommy?"
"Don't worry, princess. She is not going to do that."
She slips away out of my hands, her gaze forward. She takes small steps before infront of Maria. I stand, and throw Andy a glance as the little doll lifts hand in front of her mother.
What is she doing?
"Can you promise me you won't hurt my mommy again?" She asks, her eyes not her mother's face.
If there was any time this bitch has ever been humiliated, it is now! She can't even it. Her murderous glare at me is enough prove that she has mentally killed a hundred times.
"The better you accept that I am your mother, Angel, the better it will be for your
NANNY. Don't worry, I won't hurt her, but you and I will have a long talk ." She almost slaps the girl's tiny hand in anger, yanking it away.
Angel walks back to her daddy and they walk inside Andy's room albeit with minds.
"I hate to admit it but, bravo! I see you have not just won my husband's heart, but daughter's too." She fumes the moment Andy and Angel disappears from our .
"What did I tell you, cousin? Now tell me. How does it feel to be humiliated by own four-year-old daughter?" I go sarcastic there.
"Don't you celebrate just yet bitch, because this is just about to end! I made a underestimating how far you have dived into their hearts. You are a big to my plans.."
"Plans, huh? What plans if I may ask?"
"I don't care what trash you wanted to say to me, nor do I need to explain anything you. Pay attention carefully. You only know the old Maria, but you have no tiniest clue of what this Maria before you is capable of doing. I have the despicable to get back here, you won't stand in my way. I didn't come all far just to fail in my plans. Today at exactly nine at night, you come to my , because we need to have a serious talk." She leans to my ears, and I swear
I'm trying my best to prevent my fears from surfacing. "And if you want what is for that man we both are fighting for, you better not say anything to him.
Nothing about all this to Adrian." She kisses my cheek, and sways her hips upstairs her room.
The she-Judas!
Andy is mine! All mine! There is no way I am letting her take him away. NEVER!
