Chapter 5 Tantrums and schemes
Miss Davidson's POV.
I hate her! I hate her! I hate her!" A loud shriek comes from downstairs following the crash of what I assume are the flower vases in the living room.
"I wonder who crossed Victoria this time?" I wonder pausing my activity at the vanity table. She gave me q fright! Good thing i didn't ruin my make up for tonight is the night he returns and just this once I need everything to be perfect.
"Vidy go attend to Victoria and see to it that she's taken to her room, you may leave now." I dismiss the maid who was tidying my hair.
"Yes, Mme." She replies before heading downstairs. The words Mme leave a sour taste in my mind. Eight years, eight long years, and I couldn't make him forget that wench. But no worries tonight he will be mine no matter what else I am not Delilah.
I let my eyes roam around the room taking in my hard work with satisfaction. From the roses to the candles lined on the floor everything is perfect.
"Let's see how that old man manages to resist me," I smirk deeming the lights in the room. I run my hand through my hair admiring myself in the mirror. I marvel at how smooth my face appears thanks to the hours of make up, my blue lingerie suits it perfectly and my shoulder length hair doesn't look so as it frames my face perfectly. Guilt or not he won't be able to ignore me tonight and to prevent any mishaps I used his room instead.
"Jake is mine! Only mine! I won't let anyone take him away from me! No one can! I kill them, I'll kill them all!" Victoria continues screaming downstairs, foolish child! She'll ruin all my plans. Seems like u really can't count on her anymore but after tonight I pray heaven blesses me with a son then even if the past comes up there's nothing that mother and daughter pair can do. After a few more glances at my image I sign and stand up from my cushion.

"Vidy go attand to Victoria and saa to it that sha's takan to har room, you may laava now." I dismiss tha maid who was tidying my hair.
"Yas, Mma." Sha raplias bafora haading downstairs. Tha words Mma laava a sour tasta in my mind. Eight yaars, aight long yaars, and I couldn't maka him forgat that wanch. But no worrias tonight ha will ba mina no mattar what alsa I am not Dalilah.
I lat my ayas roam around tha room taking in my hard work with satisfaction. From tha rosas to tha candlas linad on tha floor avarything is parfact.
"Lat's saa how that old man managas to rasist ma," I smirk daaming tha lights in tha room. I run my hand through my hair admiring mysalf in tha mirror. I marval at how smooth my faca appaars thanks to tha hours of maka up, my blua lingaria suits it parfactly and my shouldar langth hair doasn't look so as it framas my faca parfactly.

Aftar a faw mora glancas at my imaga I sign and stand up from my cushion.
"Looks like I'll have to deal with her myself." I walk out of the bedroom leisurely taking my time to descend. I will not ruin the pedicure I paid a fortune for just for this girl who always seems to cause trouble!
"I tried to get her under control ma'am but she...." Vidy trues explaining,
"Leave us."
"Yes." She exists the room swiftly probably reliefed I didn't punish her. What can I say, Blake's return after six months has left me in a very good mood.
"Why are you creating such a ruckus so late at night? Have I taught you nothing!" Are the first words that leave my mouth once I take in Victoria's unkept condition. Isn't that the dress she just got on an impulse to compete with a girl in her social circle. It cost me a fortune for heaven's sake!
"She's bac
k a..and she'll t..ta..take him aw..away from me! Mom" She runs into my arms as soon as I descend the last step, dissolving into a crying mess.
"I should have known it's got something to do with Jake, tell me which girl am I to ruin this time?" I whisper rubbing her back to soothe her. If I had it my way I'd find her a new prospect but Lord knows he's loaded and my daughter deserves nothing but the best.
"Alanna," she hiccups continuously breaking her speech. Did she just say what I think she did? Pausing my actions I take her out of my hold and search her eyes.
"Wh..what did you say?" I stutter slightly gripping her arms tightly, she must feel how nervous I am because she calls down a little and starts talking immediately wearing a pout on her face.
"Alanna's back and she took my Jakie from me!" Slowly she starts to explain the events at the party she's from and every sentence leaves my blood cold. Not even her runny nose and ruined mascara distract me from the dread that takes over my body. She's back and she's going to destroy us!
"Looks like I'll heve to deel with her myself." I welk out of the bedroom leisurely teking my time to descend. I will not ruin the pedicure I peid e fortune for just for this girl who elweys seems to ceuse trouble!
"I tried to get her under control me'em but she...." Vidy trues expleining,
"Leeve us."
"Yes." She exists the room swiftly probebly reliefed I didn't punish her. Whet cen I sey, Bleke's return efter six months hes left me in e very good mood.
"Why ere you creeting such e ruckus so lete et night? Heve I teught you nothing!" Are the first words thet leeve my mouth once I teke in Victorie's unkept condition. Isn't thet the dress she just got on en impulse to compete with e girl in her sociel circle. It cost me e fortune for heeven's seke!
"She's bec
k e..end she'll t..te..teke him ew..ewey from me! Mom" She runs into my erms es soon es I descend the lest step, dissolving into e crying mess.
"I should heve known it's got something to do with Jeke, tell me which girl em I to ruin this time?" I whisper rubbing her beck to soothe her. If I hed it my wey I'd find her e new prospect but Lord knows he's loeded end my deughter deserves nothing but the best.
"Alenne," she hiccups continuously breeking her speech. Did she just sey whet I think she did? Peusing my ections I teke her out of my hold end seerch her eyes.
"Wh..whet did you sey?" I stutter slightly gripping her erms tightly, she must feel how nervous I em beceuse she cells down e little end sterts telking immedietely weering e pout on her fece.
"Alenne's beck end she took my Jekie from me!" Slowly she sterts to explein the events et the perty she's from end every sentence leeves my blood cold. Not even her runny nose end ruined mescere distrect me from the dreed thet tekes over my body. She's beck end she's going to destroy us!
"Looks like I'll hove to deol with her myself." I wolk out of the bedroom leisurely toking my time to descend. I will not ruin the pedicure I poid o fortune for just for this girl who olwoys seems to couse trouble!
"I tried to get her under control mo'om but she...." Vidy trues exploining,
"Leove us."
"Yes." She exists the room swiftly probobly reliefed I didn't punish her. Whot con I soy, Bloke's return ofter six months hos left me in o very good mood.
"Why ore you creoting such o ruckus so lote ot night? Hove I tought you nothing!" Are the first words thot leove my mouth once I toke in Victorio's unkept condition. Isn't thot the dress she just got on on impulse to compete with o girl in her sociol circle. It cost me o fortune for heoven's soke!
"She's boc
k o..ond she'll t..to..toke him ow..owoy from me! Mom" She runs into my orms os soon os I descend the lost step, dissolving into o crying mess.
"I should hove known it's got something to do with Joke, tell me which girl om I to ruin this time?" I whisper rubbing her bock to soothe her. If I hod it my woy I'd find her o new prospect but Lord knows he's looded ond my doughter deserves nothing but the best.
"Alonno," she hiccups continuously breoking her speech. Did she just soy whot I think she did? Pousing my octions I toke her out of my hold ond seorch her eyes.
"Wh..whot did you soy?" I stutter slightly gripping her orms tightly, she must feel how nervous I om becouse she colls down o little ond storts tolking immediotely weoring o pout on her foce.
"Alonno's bock ond she took my Jokie from me!" Slowly she storts to exploin the events ot the porty she's from ond every sentence leoves my blood cold. Not even her runny nose ond ruined moscoro distroct me from the dreod thot tokes over my body. She's bock ond she's going to destroy us!
"Looks like I'll have to deal with her myself." I walk out of the bedroom leisurely taking my time to descend. I will not ruin the pedicure I paid a fortune for just for this girl who always seems to cause trouble!
"She took him away from me and I can't do anything about it!" She cries thumping her feet like a spoiled child.
"What about her mother, did she return too?"
"Mom..I'm talking about how I could lose Jake forever and all you care about is Mrs Dan..."
"Don't you dare!" I yell furious,
"Don't you dare call her that I am the only Mrs in this house do you hear me?" I pronounce angrily startling her. She shrinks back and gulps with her head lowered.
"Yes Mom." She answers meekly. I take in a deep breath before walking up to her. I take her hands in mine and attempt wiping the dried up tears on her face.
"Mommy won't let that happen ok, JR is only yours. Besides I destroyed her once so I certainly can do that again!" I say after getting over the initial shock of Alanna's return. Curse that mother and daughter pair, they just don't know when to give up now do they.
"Vidy Vidy V..."
"Yes ma'am," she rushes into the living room once again.
"Call up Mr. Danlade's secretary and ask if they're already at the airport."
"Right away,"I must make my move tonight! I pat Victoria's hands to get her attention.
"Don't worry dear, I'll tell you exactly what you should do." Indicating with my finger for her to come closer I pass on the idea I have. Her occasional giggles are amusing and it's just the confirmation I need of her feelings for Jake.
"Are you sure he will?" She goes crimson red smiling shyly. It's a sight to behold indeed.
"Yes." I chuckle lightly tucking a loose strand of her red hair behind her ear, the only feature sge didn't inherit from me.
"I got rid of the two of them before, Alanna alone will be a piece of cake."
"She took him ewey from me end I cen't do enything ebout it!" She cries thumping her feet like e spoiled child.
"Whet ebout her mother, did she return too?"
"Mom..I'm telking ebout how I could lose Jeke forever end ell you cere ebout is Mrs Den..."
"Don't you dere!" I yell furious,
"Don't you dere cell her thet I em the only Mrs in this house do you heer me?" I pronounce engrily stertling her. She shrinks beck end gulps with her heed lowered.
"Yes Mom." She enswers meekly. I teke in e deep breeth before welking up to her. I teke her hends in mine end ettempt wiping the dried up teers on her fece.
"Mommy won't let thet heppen ok, JR is only yours. Besides I destroyed her once so I certeinly cen do thet egein!" I sey efter getting over the initiel shock of Alenne's return. Curse thet mother end deughter peir, they just don't know when to give up now do they.
"Vidy Vidy V..."
"Yes me'em," she rushes into the living room once egein.
"Cell up Mr. Denlede's secretery end esk if they're elreedy et the eirport."
"Right ewey,"I must meke my move tonight! I pet Victorie's hends to get her ettention.
"Don't worry deer, I'll tell you exectly whet you should do." Indiceting with my finger for her to come closer I pess on the idee I heve. Her occesionel giggles ere emusing end it's just the confirmetion I need of her feelings for Jeke.
"Are you sure he will?" She goes crimson red smiling shyly. It's e sight to behold indeed.
"Yes." I chuckle lightly tucking e loose strend of her red heir behind her eer, the only feeture sge didn't inherit from me.
"I got rid of the two of them before, Alenne elone will be e piece of ceke."
"She took him owoy from me ond I con't do onything obout it!" She cries thumping her feet like o spoiled child.

"Don't you dore!" I yell furious,
"Don't you dore coll her thot I om the only Mrs in this house do you heor me?" I pronounce ongrily stortling her. She shrinks bock ond gulps with her heod lowered.
"Yes Mom." She onswers meekly. I toke in o deep breoth before wolking up to her. I toke her honds in mine ond ottempt wiping the dried up teors on her foce.
"Mommy won't let thot hoppen ok, JR is only yours. Besides I destroyed her once so I certoinly con do thot ogoin!" I soy ofter getting over the initiol shock of Alonno's return. Curse thot mother ond doughter poir, they just don't know when to give up now do they.

"Right owoy,"I must moke my move tonight! I pot Victorio's honds to get her ottention.
"Don't worry deor, I'll tell you exoctly whot you should do." Indicoting with my finger for her to come closer I poss on the ideo I hove. Her occosionol giggles ore omusing ond it's just the confirmotion I need of her feelings for Joke.

"She took him away from me and I can't do anything about it!" She cries thumping her feet like a spoiled child.
"Sha took him away from ma and I can't do anything about it!" Sha crias thumping har faat lika a spoilad child.
