Chapter 36



Anthonia POV

"O my goodness! Anthonia!" Kaeya screamed running to hug me as I welcomed it.

"Goodness! I missed you so much!" She exclaimed pulling away to check me out.

"How are your injuries? Are you okay?" she asked and I chuckled..

"Am totally fine Kaeya." I assured and we smiled at each other.

We headed into the block as most of my house mates came to welcome me.
Reminds me of Nathasha.

"Where's Nathasha?" I queried from Kaeya as we sat in class during recess.
I couldn't stress my legs...not yet.

"Oh! Her...she hasn't been to school since last week Tuesday." She notified with a shrug.
Hm...

Location: Singh's Mansion

I served Aditi his meal as he began to eat.

I later sat down to eat when I heard clicking heels scuttling towards us and we all moved our attention and gaze to see a pretty young lady dressed so......what I'd call classy and s*xy!.

"Adi!" She squealed rushing to his side as she hugged him from his seated position as he reciprocated.
Huh?

"My goodness! Diya!" Janvi chuckled getting up on her feet to go hug her.

Diya??

She moved to give Granny and every other person at the table a kiss as they grinned upon her presence.

Hold on...who the h*ll is she?

The Diya lady got to me after her kissing round and she stared at me.

"Oou...new pretty face. Who's she?" She asked.

"That's Aditi's wife..." Jaya blurred excitedly and I noticed the lady's smile vanish but came back as quick as it left...this time.... really fake....
I could see it.

"Wife huh?" She chuckled.
"Nice to meet you.." she seethed only to my hearing and I was forced to arch a brow.

Really?

"Oh Adi..." She suddenly groaned scuttling to his side as she played with his hair.

What!

"I missed your so much and could barely wait for my exams to be over so I could see you." She whined.

Did he ask you?

"I missed you too Diya.." He replied giving her a light smile to my shocking surprise as they held gazes for too long.

"Diya... you should join us." Mother offered.

"Sure thing. But I'd love to sit close to Adi..." She replied with a pout.

"No problem.." Jaya gave in getting off her seat to another as Diya sat down happily.

Aditi tried serving her but she stopped him and began to eat right out of his plate!

I noticed her give me a sly smile which wasn't noticed by anyone but me as I held my cutlery angrily.

I've had enough!
I pushed my chair back and stood up.

"Am done eating." I muttered ready to leave as everyone looked at me.

"But you have barely touched your meal Anthonia." Mother cooed.

"Yeah... lost my appetite... goodnight." I replied sparing Aditi and Diya a glance before turning, heading for the stairs.

I spent so much time under the shower wetting myself from head to feet.

. There's something which is totally amiss with that Diya ... and whatever it is ....am going to figure it out.

Diya POV

I smrinked as she left the table.
How dare she steal my man?
Oh am so gonna make her pay... and get him back.

It's a good thing that they don't get along.
I smell victory already.

After dinner, I was shown my room.... right next to Aditi's room.

Sweet!...

I opted for a long relaxing bath before pulling on a pink night silk short and top with tiny straps.

I fixed my hair into two pigtails, applied my best perfume and headed out of the room...for Adi's door.

Anthonia POV

I rounded up my homework ready to go to bed when I heard a knock on the room door.

Huh?
It's past 10 already...who could that be?

I got off the couch heading for the door opening it to see.... DIYA!?

She had a smrink that I hated so much on.

"Is Adi in?" She asked and I glanced at what she wore..
She's got some great body but seriously can't be compared to mine.... especially my skin.

"What do you need him for?" I asked and she chuckled pissing me off badly.

"Oh come on... he's my bestie and I need to see him." She said and I scoffed.

"Who's that?" I heard Aditi ask and I turned to see him feet's away already in his PJ.

"Diya..." He beamed and she rushed in hugging him really tight.

What!

"Mhmm... you smell so good." She purred and he chuckled.

"And you too."
Are they for real?!

"Am still here." I said in a visibly pissed tone.

"Adi... do you mind if we go for a walk? We've got a lot of catch up to do." She offered.

"Sure." Aditi gave in and right before my eyes,they held hands and walked out with Diya grinning at me.

I felt a slight cut in my heart as the door closed.
There was a little pain in me...I exhaled going to bed.

*

Morning...

I woke up with a dizzy feeling.
I felt KY forehead which still had a small plaster by the side.

It hurt as h*ll...talk more of the headache I woke up with.

I turned looking at my side but didn't find Aditi.
Huh?
Did he not return last night?

I exhaled getting off the bed as I headed to shower.

I pulled on my bag pack after fixing my hair into a ponytail and tendrils not forgetting my vermilion.

I stepped out of the room heading for the stairs as I alighted it.

. "You look extra pretty today Anthonia." Father-in-law noticed and I shrugged with a smile.

Just then,Diya and Aditi walked in laughing.
They both had jogging suits on.

They talked and laughed heading for the stairs totally ignoring us in the living room.

"Com'on Anthonia..that's how he is with Diya around. You'll grow to love her too." Deven assured and I scoffed.

"I'll take my leave now." I said and headed out.
Damn her!

Location: K.H

I sat down waiting for Kaeya to arrive.
It seems as if it's all over the school boog that Diya is around.
I mean, everyone in school was talking about it.

While scrolling through the net, I came across a picture of Diya and Aditi which must have been taken that morning.

I dunno why but, I felt like ripping that Diya apart.

"Tu..tu..tu..tu..." I looked up to see Nathasha and her crew.

I rolled my eyeballs sighing.
"What do you want Nathasha? Ready to accept that you are a loser?" I snapped and she chuckled.

"No stepsister. I am not the only loser here. Haven't you seen the net? That lady clearly has taken your pretty precious spot." Nathasha sneered and I felt somewhat hurt at that statement.

Be yourself Anthonia!

I shook my head.
" Are you done?.. use the door. You only speak rubbish just like you. Your life sucks that you can't produce anything positive. Who said having fun equals falling in love. Psst...use your brain Nathasha." I retorted every word dripping sarcasm.

It was as if her tongue was tied.
"You'll see!" She spat and stormed off.

Almost immediately,Kaeya came in.
"Thank goodness!" I exhaled pulling her in for a hug.
I really needed it.

"What's going on Anthonia?" She asked caressing my hair...

"...tho am seeking for a way out of the marriage, I still feel hurt knowing that b*tch is so close to Aditi. She's not a lady to be trusted." I said.

"Then show her!" Kaeya jeered and I arched a brow at her.

"Yes! Oh come on.. where's my hot, sassy Anthoniahuh? Show her that you are there to rule. Show her that's your territory. Com'on girlfriend.. you ought to know what I mean. Make her miserable!" Kaeya urged to my amazement as I stared at her in surprise.

"Wow! Kaeya!" I exclaimed and pulled her in for a great hug.

"You are the best!".
I pulled off getting on my feet.

"I'll show her that I... AnthoniaRathord......"

"Nehh.... Singh..." Kaeya corrected and I rolled my eyeballs.

"Whatever! But am gonna show her that am not to be messed with..." I declared and Kaeya gave me a high-five.
