You should be pampering me. I need a baby treatment from all of you."
"Then show some respect. You. can't just come over and change the channel without asking for permission. You're not even Desmond's wife yet, and you're acting like you own this place."
Daniella's eyes flashed. "I'm Desmond's fiancée, and this is my house now. I make rules. You are the one who is even supposed to show some respect. You are supposed to take permission from me before making use of the television."
"Have you gone insane? In my son's house? Remember that I'm the reason you are in this house."
"And so? You rooted me for him because you know that I'm the best. It's a privilege for your son to have me. You should be happy that i accepted."
"I was. but now.. I don't know what have suddenly came over you."
"Nothing came over me. Just keeping you in your place and reminding you that I'm now the madam of the house. If you still wants to watch your program, you can make use of the television in your room."
Mrs. Elizabeth's face twisted in frustration. "You are telling me what to do in my own home?"
"Point of correction, this is not your home. This is Desmond's and my home now. You have a TV in your room; please use that."
Mrs. Elizabeth's voice turned shrilled. "How dare you! You think you can just take over?"
Daniella stood firm, her hand still cradling her invisible baby bump. "I'm not taking over, Mrs. Elizabeth. I'm setting boundaries. You are welcome to stay, but respect my space."
"Respect your space?" Mrs. Elizabeth's face reddened. "After everything I've done for you? I brought her into this family, and this is how you wants to repay me?"
Daniella intervened in a calm calm voice. "Mrs. Elizabeth, I understand your frustration, but Desmond loves me, and I'm having his child. That changes everything."
Desmond's mother stood up. "I will inform Desmond about your sudden change of altitude. He will keep you in your place."
"I'm sure you won't be shocked when you see your stuffs outside. So I will advice you to obey my rules and regulations in this house."
"Anabel never said something like these during the period she was with us. She's even legally married to my son. But you,.....you are not even married yet. You are just his finance and you are already showing your evil character. Don't let me regret my decisions."
"You wants to regret kicking Anabel for my sake? That country bumkin?"
"At least she have respect for me."
"I don't see where I'm doing it wrong now. This is my husband's house. If you are not comfortable here, you are more than free to go back to your late husband's house. This is my territory, and I I'm doing the right thing for myself."
"I'm just leaving you because you are pregnant. I don't want to touch a pregnant woman. If not, i would have showed you the other side of me. I will wait till Desmond comes back and address this issue." Desmond's mother said and was about to leave when the door opened. It was Desmond.
