Chapter 37 (EXPOSED)

“Harry please go, I’ll… we’ll talk about this later.” She said worriedly. “Alright.” Harry left the room so confused. His Mum wasn’t like that but she has changed those few days and he was so confused.

“I have an idea,” Evelyn smiled. She picked up her phone from the bed and dialed a number. “Bring her to me by 10pm in the garden.” She ended the call and smiled Mischievously. “I’ll bring an end to this today.”

10pm, she sneaked out of the apartment to the garden, waiting for the girl she asked Madam Gloria to bring to her. She paced around the garden waiting impatiently for them to come.

“Emily.” Madam Gloria tapped her shoulder. Emily opened her eyes slowly “What?” she asked rudely, thinking it was Naomi. “Come with me.” Madan Gloria whispered to her. “I told you to…” She saw Madam Gloria when she opened her eyes widely.

“Oh Ma’am.” She sprang up. “Follow me.” She followed her out of the Dorm confused on what was going on. Many thoughts ran through her mind, she thought Madam Gloria was taking her to see Jeff but then she thought she was trying to get her out of there.

She was surprised when they arrived at the garden and saw Evelyn. She covered her head with a scarf.

“She’s here, Ma’am.” Madam Gloria lowered her head and hurried away. “What do you want with me. Are you here to poison me?” Emily said with her hands on her waist.

“I won’t do that,” she smiled. “You can do worse than that. You took my son away from me,” Emily said angrily. “Yes and it’s for your own good.”

“Did I tell you I don’t want to stay with my son?” she gasped. “Look Emily, that’s not what brought me here. Listen to me and we’ll be done before everyone sees us.” She looked around.

“Say whatever brought you here and leave, I hate to see your face.” Emily looked away. “I’m sure you already know what’s between me and the twins that’s why you sent Naomi to come get the document. They already told you I’m their Mum and you teamed up with them to take vengeance.”

Emily was shocked, she watched as Evelyn kept on talking and talking without even looking at her to see her expression.

“Emily, I want you to stay away from those kids. Stop going around with them. I know you guys would be plotting something evil for me for what I’ve done to you all. But I want you to get this at the back of your mind. Do not tanker with me because if you do, I’ll make sure you never see your son again,” she threatened.

“Michael and Naomi are twins, I know that. But I never knew they are your kids.” She gasped Surprisingly. “What did you just say?” Evelyn asked her. “None of them told me you are their Mum, they only told me they are twins. Wow!” she laughed.

“This feels so good. I can’t believe you just confessed by your self. This is so good.” She clapped her hands together.

“Are you telling me you don’t know anything about that?” Evelyn was shocked beyond recognition. “I didn’t but I now know. And for threatening me about my son, that won’t work. First, Harry won’t let you take the child away and second, I’m not the Emily you knew months back. I’m now a changed person and I won’t rest until I take revenge on what you did to me.”

“I’ll make sure the whole world know that Naomi and Michael are your kids. I’ll make sure everyone knows of the mother that made her kids became Servants in her house and lastly, Jeff would soon come back to my hands.”

“Emily, you won’t dare do that!” “Of course I’ll do it. For your information, I have the kids on my side now and they’ll do everything I ask them to do. I don’t want to see you here again.” Emily laughed at her face and walked out of the garden.

“Oh no, what have I done. I thought they’ve already told her everything. Oh not again!” she tapped her forehead. She hurried out of the garden to the apartment.

Harry and Ron were in the living room working on a file when she entered but she didn’t see them. She was so engrossed in her own problems and walked past them.

Harry and Ron exchanged glances, they watched her went up the stairs and closed the door to her room.

“What’s wrong with Ma’am? She has been acting strange these days,” Ron said and Harry shrugged his shoulder. He too didn’t know and she had refused to tell him what was going on.

Emily returned back to the Quarters so confused. Madam Gloria wasn’t outside and so she entered the room. She lay on the bed looking at Naomi who was sleeping soundly.

For some seconds, Emily took pity on her. She couldn’t believe their Mum could sleep peacefully in her comfortable bed knowing her kids were sleeping in a dirty place.

“Oh God!” she sighed and closed her eyes. “Please Lord, do not make me become a bad Mum.” She prayed.

Next morning, Michael met Emily at the garden like always. But he didn’t see his sister. He had looked around for her before coming to see Emily.

“Have you seen Naomi?” he asked picking up a watery can. “No, I didn’t see her in bed this morning too when I woke up.” She said uprooting the weed around the flower she planted.

“Weird, I wonder where she is.” He looked around again but didn’t see a glimpse of her. “Uhm Michael.” Emily called and he turned to her. She stood upright and dusted her palms.
