He waited for the man to get to him before he brought out his pass and other requirements.

"So you're a new student and look at the time you just coming to school huh?!,the man yelled.

"Now that you know can you let me in?,he said curtly

The man in his glasses and stick look at him in disbelief. He nods and directs him to come with him.

He follows the man steadily till they entered a particular block. It was different from the other ones well designed and furnished obviously it belongs to the school administration.

Josephine stood up and went to search Nisha room then come out with the fabrics she kept.

"There's no need to worry this will make good sales right?"

"How thoughtful, Joanne said scattering them as she shows Dara.

"That belongs to her customers so return it"

"No! Mother that girl is unpredictable what if she left with some guys and never return she's no longer a kid remember"

"You're right but if I get my hands on her then she will be buried beside her father's grave,Dara said frowning

A tricycle stopped at the entrance of their house and they look through the window

"Here she comes that bastard,Dara cussed and ran downstairs the girls follows.

"Stepmother can you imagine what happened to me,she tries to speak but a striking slap landed on her face which cause her falling

"Hey you can't do that to a patient, the nurse said trying to help but was restrained by the girls.

"Where are you coming from huh? How dare you leave the house without cooking for us even the whole messed up but you left without informing us huh?,"Dara shouts kicking her.

"Stepmother I can explain, Nisha cried as her nose begin to bleed again

"Explain? Do I need that from you?,Dara said dragging her up with her hair.

"Fine I understand where you went the man that you went to must have given you money right? Where is it?"

"Stepmother I'm in pain, Nisha sobs

"Madam what you're doing is against the law, The nurse said and Dara moves towards her.

"Don't you know me? Why did you come to my house and tell me what to do did you wish for death?,Dara said almost pouncing on the nurse but she dogged and dropped the materials she was carrying before running out of the compound.

Dara and the girls turn to the poor Nisha who was now covered in blood due to her open wounds.

"Next time you won't go against the rules bitch,Dara said and kicked the things she bought making it scatter.

Josephine and Joanne rushed to her and helped her up then begin to search her.

"You don't come with any money?, Joanne asked and she shook her head.

"Bad luck!, Joanne cussed then pushed her back on the floor before going after Dara.

Josephine help her up again and help her clean her bloody face. She parked the materials she bought and supported her into the house.

"You have less than an hour to complete madam Nero clothes before she comes so hurry with it so we could get the money okay?, Josephine told her before leaving the room.
