Next day

Isabella

Uncle, Aunt I'm going to school.

Mikel

Where do you think you're going to.

Isabella

Susan

You can't go to school, there's no money to train you in school.

Isabella

uncle is that true, there is no money for my schooling.

Mikel

Yes, that's true we spend everything things for your parent's burial so no money is left.

Isabella

Uncle, I can remember clearly, that you did not bring any money for my parent's burial, what of the money they left for me.

Mikel

I don't know until we see the lawyer.

Natasha walks in

Natasha

Mom, dad I'm going to school.

Both

okay dear, take care of yourself.

Isabella

Uncle what your doing is not fair, you don't have money to send me to school but you have money to send Natasha to school.

Susan

What do you expect, Natasha is our daughter do you expect us to send you and leave our daughter, sorry that can never be possible.

Mikel

Bella, you have to understand that we are not rich like your parents just go back to your room until we figure out a way to send you to school.

Isabella in tears ran back to her room, in her room she started asking herself questions

ISABELLA POV

why are my aunt and uncle treating me like this? when my parents were still alive they were so nice to me, what did I ever do to them that they suddenly change and hate me so much? mom and dad why did you leave me in this world to suffer, why?.

NEXT DAY

YVONNE

Isabel, why were you not at school yesterday?.

ISABELLA

Because there's is no money for me to go to school.

MIA

Didn't your parent leave you with a lot of inheritance, then what's the problem.

BELLA

My uncle says we should hear from the lawyer first.

YVONNE

BUT, don't your uncle have money to send you until then.

ISABELLA

He said he doesn't have money to send me to school.

MIA

But he has money to send that his wayward daughter that doesn't attend classes.

YVONNE

Don't worry Isa, I will see what I can do for you I will ask my mom and tell her about your situation, I know she will help.

ISABELLA

Thank you for your help.

Yvonne

What are friends for, what of Natasha hope she's not giving you much trouble?

BELLA

She has become a thorn in my flesh since she came into this house.

MIA

why did you say so

BELLA

Natasha is always making my life miserable she took my room not only that, this morning she threw my food away like I am speaking with you girls am so hungry, My nanny's had to share her portion of food with me.

YVONNE

What is your uncle saying about it?

ISABELLA

What do you expect he will support his daughter, and worst of all is that they treat me as a house help, I'm the one doing all the whole work in this house.

MIA

What if your nanny?.

BELLA

My Aunt says that if nanny Rose helps me they will send her away and I don't want that to happen, she's the only family that loves me apart from my parent if she goes now how will I survive.

Natasha walks in with a glass of juice

YVONNE

Speaking of the devil, and here he comes.

NATASHA

(poured the drink on Isabel) Oops, the drink slip from my hand, you are just full of bad lucks my mom said you should go and do the laundry again that those things you wash are all rubbish, and take this glass to the kitchen I'm going to see my boyfriend. (left)

YVONNE

So this is what you have been facing oh my god I don't believe this she just poured you her drink? And walk away like that, that bitch what did she think she is.

ISABELLA

I need to drop the glass and go take my bath and rewash the clothes, sorry I won't be able to escort, you guys. (left)

Edward

Andrew how is it going.

ANDREW

What are you talking about?

EDWARD

Isabella of course.

ANDREW

Oh, that, I still have five days to go and I think she's falling for me I plan to ask her out tomorrow and carry out the plan.

EDWARD

That's my guy I know you will never fail me

ANDREW

Of course, no girl can reject me, I was always there when she was grieving don't you trust me I used her parent's death to get more closer to her, now it's time to carry out the plan.

EDWARD

oh my god, you're a devil in human clothing I didn't believe you will go to this length.

ANDREW

she deserves it since she is so stubborn and stronger-headed.

EDWARD

Let me remind you, don't fall in love with her, she mine and mine alone.

ANDREW

NO, I won't she's not my type I hate her, so why will I even like her she disgusts me, I am doing to pay her back for rejecting you.

EDWARD

OK if you say so

AT HOME

LORENA

ANDREW

I went to see my friend Edward sorry I didn't tell you.

LORENA

Fine, but next time tell me where you're going to, go take your bath and after that help your sister with her homework.

ANDREW

OK I will (left)

Andrew in Angel's room

ANDREW

Small doll, bring out your homework so I can help you out and go in to rest when we are done.

ANGEL

Andrew, I told you to stop calling me small I'm not small I'm completing eleven tomorrow and you are older than me by seven years.

ANDREW

Like I told you before, you will always be my small doll until I decide not to call you that.

ANGEL

SO annoying when will you stop teasing me and making me look small, what of Aunt Isabella how is she?, is she now your girlfriend(chuckle)

ANDREW

NO, why did you ask such a question?

ANGEL

Because you too look good together, I always see how you two look at each other whenever mom invites her to come over.

ANDREW

Do you think she likes me?.

ANGEL

Yes of course I see the way she looks at you, don't tell me you don't notice, and don't tell me you two are not together.

ANDREW

No, we are not together. how do you know all these things, about love don't tell me you have a boyfriend

ANGEL

Yes but please don't tell mom she will kill me if she finds out.

ANDREW

break up with him you are too young to have one.

ANGEL

please brother, I can't leave him, please.

ANDREW

OK fine I have to see him first so he won't try anything stupid with you.

ANGEL

Thank you but please don't tell mom and dad they will kill me if they find out.

Andrew

I won't OK let's start doing the homework.

Angel

OK thanks

Andrew on chat with Bella

Andrew

will you be at the school strip tomorrow

**Bella

Yes of course I will, any problem?

Andrew

No, just want to ask and confirm if you will be there, and I will like to tell you something important tomorrow.

We session we'll be spending two weeks at the school camp hope you knew about that.

Isabella

yes I know I will ask my uncle for permission.

Andrew

Expect you tomorrow, I'll soon go offline I'm tired(sent her a 😴 sticker ) I want to sleep early.

Isabella

OK sleep tight

Isabella

Uncle, we will be going on a school trip tomorrow, and I want to attend too I want your permission.

Mikel

OK, you are free to go.

Natasha

dad that's not possible how will she attend when I am going to attend too when having you started treating her right, first you send her back to school, and then you stop her from doing housework that has gotten into your dad.

Mikel POV

I need to treat her fine so that she will be able to sign the document making me the legal guidance so that I will be able to take her wealth and do away with her once and for all then I'll get what I want and also kill her.

Mikel

Natasha doesn't forget she's your sister, whether you like it or not she's going and that's final.

Natasha POV

why is my father suddenly treating her well is he planning something again I must find out.

Natasha walks out angrily

Isabella talked to Yvonne on the phone.

Isabella

Yvonne guesses what?.

Yvonne

Your wicked uncle is finally dead.

Isabella

stop that, even if even he treated me bad I don't wish for his death. The big news is I will be coming for the school trip and the surprising path is he took my side when Natasha said I wasn't going.

Yvonne

That's surprising, hope your uncle is not planning anything.

Isabella

you have started again my uncle can't plan anything evil against me.

Yvonne

how are you so sure since he can maltreat you then what can he not do?

Isabel

Girl stop, I'm so happy he didn't t stop me from going, so excited.

Yvonne

I am excited too we are going to see those two hot guys and stay with them for two good weeks I am so excited.

Isabella

Yvonne, you and infatuation. You can keep daydreaming, as for I'm going to bed.

Yvonne

Do you know where we are going to?

Isabel

No.

Yvonne

I heard we will be camping at the countryside resort, I heard those places are surrounded by water.

Isabella

really

Yvonne

Yes

Isabel

Good, time for sleep, early morning journey tomorrow good night sweet dreams.

Yvonne

You too bye

Natasha talking to her dad

Natasha

Dad tells me your planning something, tell me what is it is your planning this time because you don't show kindness without getting something in return.

Mikel

Yes, you know me well I'm planning something.

Natasha

so what are you planning?

Mikel

I confirm from the lawyer that the property will only go to her if she's eighteen but she's just sixteen and her parents put Helene as her legal guidance, if something were to happen to them since Helene is not available then the lawyer will continue to be in charge of her property still she reaches eighteen, so if Isabella is to sign this document, I will be her legal guidance. I can have access to the company and her parent's money, in other for her to sign I need to treat her fine so that she will think I have changed and sign the documents then after that you can do what you want to do with her I won't interfere.

Natasha

okay dad**

Next day

Natasha

do you think going on this Trip shows that you have won against me no I make sure you regret coming (left)

Yvonne

what did Natasha say to you, she looks so angry?

Isabel

I don't want to talk about it, I can't let her spoil my day, let's go and enter the bus before they leave us.

Yvonne

okay what of Mia is she not coming

Isabella

no she's not, her dad had an accident so won't be coming she said we should gist her what happened when we get back.

Yvonne

we will visit her and see how her dad's doing.

Isabella

Yes of course we will let's start going

inside the bus

Andrew

I am happy you made it

Isabella

Yes I did

Yvonne

Isabella, when did you and this hostess guy in school become friends.

Isabella

I'm sorry, it is just that the problems am facing made me forget to tell you.

Andrew and my parent are close friends so from there we became close and we are friends now.

Yvonne

OK but I am still angry, if I didn't find out now you won't have told me. Andrew, can we be friends too, if you don't mind?

Andrew

sure I don't mind at all, I will be going back to my seat.

Yvonne

OK bye

Other girls POV

Back in Andrew's seat

Edward

what did you talk about?

Andrew

You mean Isabella.

Edward

Yes.

Andrew

I told her I was happy to know she's joining us on the trip so that I can carry out my plan.

Edward

Your something else sees how you appear good but you're a wolf in sheep clothing.

Andrew

is that not why you asked me to do the job, I need to rest now.

Yvonne

Isabella, I want to ask you a question.

Isabella

what question.

Yvonne

Do you have feelings for Andrew because I say the way you were blushing when he was here?

Isabella

I don't know but I am always happy when he is around me and sad when he is not I don't know whether I have started having feelings for him.

Yvonne

You have because I can see the sparkling in your eyes so tell me when did it start.

ISABELLA

I don't know but I think it's because he was always there for me.

YVONNE

So are you going to tell him?

ISABELLA

I Am too shy to do so.

YVONNE

what if he falls for another girl what are you going to do, this is your only chance to confess to him don't regret it later.

ISABELLA

I will try to do so I don't want to lose him to any other girl because I don't know what I will do if it happens.

Yvonne

if you need help I can offer you some.

Isabella

thanks

Yvonne

Your welcome.

Yvonne POV

wow, am so happy for my friend she has finally found someone that she will rely on even if am no longer here, a boyfriend someone that will console her. I have not told her that I will be leaving here for abroad I need to tell her, she won't miss me so much since she will have someone next to her but I need to tell and also help get her together with Andrew so that I will be secure knowing my best friend is in safe hand's.

ISABELLA POV

I don't know when I started liking him I didn't expect that one day I will fall in love with the hostess boy in school maybe this was my punishment for rejecting other guys.

Yvonne

Isabella what are you thinking about.

ISABELLA

nothing just tired.

YVONNE

I have something to say to you but since you are tired, we talk about it later remind me in case I forget.

ISABELLA

I can see that what you want to tell is very important, don't tell me you have found someone you like too.

Yvonne

Hey stop that, there's no one special yet I have crushes on all the guys even Andrew or should I go for him. (jokingly)

Isabella

hey don't go there can you stop spilling out nonsense(jealous)
