I’m Dedicated To You

The atmosphere between me and Joanna turned solemn after what she said and I noticed she was skeptical about discussing anything with me, so I decided to lighten up the mood.

“Do you think you would not be able to succeed if you go into fashion?”I asked and I saw her looking at me with their mouth agape.

She was stunned that I was able to notice the little details that was lingering around but it just that I can not help but pick those things up.

“How did you know,” she asked me and I laughed.

“For someone that has been in the entertainment agency for some time, I can smell it on you, “I say looking at the cute girl with a round face and short hair and gray eyes just like Bradley’s.

They all really have a pair of gray eyes that looks lovely.

“I don’t want to tell my mom because she and my dad have expectations of me taking over the business. That’s why I have been keeping to myself but how did you notice”she says smiling sadly and I could feel her pain.

Being rich does not mean you could do what you like, how pathetic.

“You were checking everyone’s outfit but not in a bad way though, “I say laughing and she also laughs.

“I do not know about anybody else but I like you for my cousin because my cousin needs a little light in his gloomy life and I think you are that light,” she says looking into my eyes with her gray eyes and I envy her for having that amazing eye color.

“And there are even more amazing things I want to show you sitting here I will be back,” she says rushing back into the mansion. I vowed not to leave there till she comes back because I do not want them to report me as a missing person just because I got lost in the huge mansion.

I sat on one of the chairs placed in the garden and I decided to feast my eyes on the beautiful flowers.

“It must feel tiring trying so hard to feel among”I heard a voice behind me and I opened my eyes looking behind me to see who it was and I saw that it was Juliana.

“I think that word should be used to address you, Miss Shawn,” I say getting up from my seat to stroll around the garden not wanting to get into unnecessary words banter with Juliana.

“How much did you need to divorce Bradley,” she says strolling to my side. I always say I am the shameless one but Juliana here is drowning in the sea of shamelessness. She was horrible.

“I don’t know what you are talking about Miss Shawn but if you think I need money did you think Bradley won’t give me tons of it, “I say and I saw her face green with anger and heavens know the only thing holding her back from killing me is because murder is a crime or else I would have been six feet under.

“You are not going to last because you don’t fit to be Miss Hale”.

“Maybe you are right but you are also not good enough, “I say, flipping my brown hair and I think that got her even madder.

“We are going to see if a classless orphan deserves the mighty Bradley Hale” she threatens stomping away from the garden and I shake my head at the drama I have gone through in just 2 days.

Why would a girl from a good family, with a beautiful face and good education be threatening me? She must be shameless and classless, I thought.

I kept walking around the garden and I noticed I already covered a long distance and I am still inside the garden.

“Wow I think the size of this garden is the size of my house that was ranked among the top 5 celebrity mansion, we must look like a joke to this penthouse, “I say breathing heavily because of the long distance I just covered and I decided to go back so I will go and wait for Joanna where she left me but I saw an old woman sitting alone in the garden so, I decided to walk towards her thinking she must be a worker working in the garden.

“Hi ma’am, did you work here?”I say, trying to form a conversation.

“No, but my daughter…” The woman was looking at me in fear but that face changed immediately and her eyeballs changed to white and I felt an ominous feeling.

The whole place suddenly felt suffocated to me but I decided to hold on. It’s not like something is going to eat me up here.

“Death,” she says, her voice resounding through the place and her voice echo covering the large garden.

“Ma’am, are you okay?,” I asked more like I am asking myself if I am okay? Because I was scared out of my wits.

“I can perceive death around you,” she says growling like someone battling with an external force and my leg weakens hearing that.

The woman kept shaking her head like she was shaking off bad memories and a tinge of red blush rose up to my cheek in fear but I decided to hold myself and not loosened up because what the woman was saying was scary but for all I know she might just be a fraud.

“What do you mean?”I asked with a shaky voice and I was grateful I was even able to say that out loud.

“Someone is going to die,” she said looking into my eyes and I fell to the ground in shock…..All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Someone is going to die? Who?
