By 7:00am, they were done with their work, they both lay flat on the measuring table, they looked at eachother and started laughing like maniacs, it was their laughed that attracted the headmistress, she opened the door and saw the messed up girls, looking all rough, "what's 1 this?" She yelled calling the attention of the two girls.
Their heart was already in their mouth when who appeared before them was goddess of war, the most strict woman no one wants to see, they could boldly see fire with an hefty flames accompanying it while looking at her, being scared was an understatement, they were ready to pee on themselves if she should talk again. Beatrice was already shaking like leaf while Maria gathered her last strength and energy to respond to her questions before they land themselves in detention zone for the next 3 days,
"ma, we just completed our project, we will take care of the room now." Maria said politely to the woman. They were praying to their God that the woman will be merciful and free them to clean up and rest, eagerly looking at her eye if it will reflect an emotion and let them be relieved.
"you both were up all night working on your projects?"
The head Mistress asked as she walked toward the maniques, she was overwhelmed with the designs she saw,this is too much for a level 3 student to get done in just a night, this is exceptional.
"you guys did this from the scratch all night?" She said
Beatrice and Maria looked at eachother not knowing if they should be happy or crying.
Maria quickly replied "Yes".
The headmistress was very proud of them, she normally do not praise student but a rare smile appeared on her face as she looked at the exhausted two and looked at the floor which was messed with snacks nylon and leftover fabrics. "Go and clean up, rest and see me whenever you are done, I will keep the keys to this room" the headmistress said and they nodded, packed her stuffs and walked out, the mistress looked at the designs one more time before locking the room and working away with the keys.

In diamond villa
"Aunty Mimi" Joy called out softly as she was serving her food.
Happiness fills her heart each and every time Joy calls out to her, working for Goerge at her early fifties was a wish comes true as she could gladly watch over the family of her benefactor, Goerge father was her benefactor that she plead her life to, it was much but it was what makes her happy, Goerge doesn't treat her as a worker but an aunty, she has watched Goerge all her life and glad to watch this nasty girl of his pull her tricks everytime and that was all she wishes her life will be all about.
"Isn't today the day little Maria will submit her project?" She asked as aunty Mimi knew the little nasty individual was coming up with another bad idea that will frustrate the father once he comes back from work.
"Yes, why did you ask?" Aunty Mimi asked as Joy immediately pouted since she realized she had her attention fully, all to herself.
"Why don't I go and cheer her up?" Joy said and a bomb exploded in aunty Mimi's heart, why will she think of such!, This girl will surely be the death of her!, Joy, please spare my old soul from your father's wrath.
"We don't need to, she is fine" she replied to Joy's words carefully but planning to leave, she wanted to try her luck if she can excape from the craws of the little White witch.
"Aunty Mimi, we can go and come back today, it's still early, it's a Saturday, daddy won't be home untill 9:00 am, the journey is just 2hours, the earlier the better, or, maybe .." she said and aunty Mimi's heart was already racing kilometers. "Your father might decide to come home earlier" aunty Mimi said as she rubs her head, trying to pacify the demon that brought the idea to life in her. Unfortunately, the demon grew wings .
"Are you going or I go alone?" She asked as she jumped down, making her two ponytails jump and dance around. "Okay" aunty Mimi could only follow her orders, no one controls better than this nasty girl. Aunty Mimi faked her smile as she followed her to the car and the driver started the journey, luckily, she slept for more than half of the journey while aunty Mimi kept praying to her ancestors that nothing should go wrong with this plan of theirs or she would be at the den of lion.
At exactly 11:30 am, they got to the school gate, they drove in and went to park at the visitor's space, joy was the first to jump down and ran to the administration office, aunty Mimi quickly followed behind her to monitor here because joy can be so unpredictable sometimes, losing her is a deadly mission.
The last time she lost track of her was a visit to the mall, Joy went missing as she almost went cracy looking for her only to finally find her at a musical band, she was sitting in their middle enjoying their comment about her, when they wanted to carry home, she refused and when she got forced, she cried till she was admitted in the hospital.
"hello, cute baby girl?" The voice of the young lady as the entrance was the first thing aunty Mimi heard as she walked towards them, "I want to see someone " Joy said and earned a smile from her, the lady picked up a register and asked joy with a kind eye which name she was looking for and she mentioned Maria Sebastian. The expression on her face frozen."are you Maria daughter?" She asked but Joy didn't reply to her questions as aunty Mimi chuckled. "I can't believe that b*tch as a kid" the lady said and joy raised her face up, joy was really angry at her choice of word but could only wait to get an a direction before insulting her, aunry Mimi was already glaring at her from the side as she could see she is all shades of arrogance and rudeness. Cassandra drop the register and pick her phone to update her school website. Joy looked at her curiously before talking, "are you still helping me?" She asked while Cassandra looked at her with disdain before she changed her expression, "I o
"He won't know if we don't snitch" joy winked but that didn't cool Maria's temperature as her heart was racing kilometers."Let me show you our project" Beatrice said and joy was happy and she let Beatrice hold her to the headmistress office to get the keys."Who is the little girl?" The headmistress said as she saw Beatrice walked in hand in hand with her. "Good morning ma, my name is Joy, her daughter" she said and the headmistress was speechless, she looked up at Beatrice face but Beatrice had a confused face looking at Joy. Joy was smiling happily, having achieved pranking Beatrice herself. "Oh, my, you look cute, you must look like your father" the headmistress said smiling at her, "No" Beatrice suddenly said and the two look at her"She looks like her old grandma, that why she has wrinkles on her forehead" Beatrice said and joy glared at her."How old are you?" The headmistress asked looking confused at the duo, "I'm almost six" joy replied and looks at Beatrice. "Where is you
"Daddy, are you planning to remarry?" She asked, George's brows rose as he heard the words that came out of his father's mouth. "No" Goerge said and stood up, placed the papers on her reading table. As he lifted her up to his arms and walked down to the dinner table.He placed her down in on the chair, brought her for close to her and smiled before whispering, "it will always be me and you, my love" he said and Joy smiled."Not for long' she thought and blushed before eating her food.***In Durham, Beatrice and Maria went to meet the headmistress. She was checking out a file when they got there, so they waited till she was ready to attend to them."Sit down" she said and they both sit. "I was notified that, your projects won the best award of the semester in your class" she said as they both nodded.The headmistress headed over to them a file, "this design was what lost at the final of the international competition, last two year, identify where the mistake was?" She said and the tw
In Durham, Maria dragged Beatrice's luggage into the house while Beatrice walked in with the less heavy ones. Mr Edward was the first to notice them sneaking into the house."Beatrice Edward '' Mr Gabriel Edward yelled as the two rats sneaking in got scared and stood still. Mr Gabriel who was happy he was able to catch them, walked out of the kitchen where he had sighted them."Why is my favorite holding the heavy bag while you are strolling with your hands free?" Her father said and she was speechless. Maria started grinning like an old cat when she saw that she was supported by him. "Dad, look at this, this is a heavy bag," Beatrice said as she felt wronged. "Can you quantity that nylon with this heavy luggage?" He replied instantly before he collected the bag from Maria and rubbed her head."How are you my darling, how was school?, Hope your project wasn't stressful?" Mr Gabriel said as he pulled Maria to the side to seat and kept checking on her body like she was a pet. Beatrice
"No!!" Joy was surprised by her father's response. Her mind started thinking of various ways to convince him."I promise not to send her away, Aunty Mimi has a lot of work to do already, I can't watch her sweat for me too" Joy said inorder to convince the father."Can I eat my meal now?" Goerge said as he cuts into his daughter's speech. Joy wanted to pout and steal the food away.She though it's was the best way to convince him, so she nodded her head and Goerge quickly digged into the meal.He missed eating his favorite as he is either too busy with work or busy eating Joy's favourite that he almost forget he has a favourite.He didn't stop until the last bite went down his throat. He was satisfied, he drank water and sat back to rest.Aunty Mimi quickly packed the plates away with Joy's help. Joy ran back to complete her mission but found out that he had walked to the front door to receive a call.Joy sat at the dinning waiting for her father, she started practicing how to convince
Aunty Mimi got scared at the noise that came from Beatrice. She looked at Beatrice's face as she was still on shock."I already told you, this old woman knows nothing" Aunty Mimi said as she realized that her words had made her froze."I can't even remember many things, just ask the boss, once he is here" Aunty Mimi said to make her relax.Beatrice returned to normal and realized what she had done, she was embarrassed. She quickly covered it with other various question.Night time came, Beatrice took joy to her room, she was surprised at the room arrangement. It's so luxurious. She could vividly say the price tag on each doll and nice bags and clothes she saw.She didn't want to be carried away, she led joy to the bathroom and help her with her quick shower. Joy wasn't stressful as she cooperated with her properly.They sang various rhymes when washing Joy's hair that they lost track of time. Beatrice was able to convince Joy to leave the bathroom after half an hour.Beatrice dried he
"Oh my good lord" Beatrice paniched for a while at the sight of the incident but she overcame her fears and rushed to carry Joy, she noticed it was just a minor injury.At the point, it came to light that Joy might have a phobia for blood, she couldn't even see her own blood as she fainted.Beatrice rushed her to her own room and cleaned her up and laid her on the bed. Beatrice kept pacing up and down till she finally woke up."Aunty Bea" she said slowly and Beatrice rushed to her. "Joy, how could you?" She asked as tears started to roll down her eye."I'm sorry, Aunty Bea, I won't try it ever again, I don't want to learn the fruit cutting anymore, just don't cry" joy said.Beatrice chuckled in-between her tears, she couldn't believe what Joy was saying."You should pity yourself, not me, look at you, you just hurt yourself, what should I tell aunty Mimi, and your father, if he finally shows up"Beatrice said and Joy held her closer, "nothing, nothing happened, that is it" joy said an
"Bye darling, don't trouble your teacher" Beatrice stood at the entrance as she waved at Joy who was entering into her car."Don't make your friends so jealous, and eat your fruits!" She said and smiled so brightly at her and Joy waved back at her.Joy waved till the Beatrice was no longer visible, she finally sat properly in the car and arranged her dress.Partially, she was sad that she won't get to see Beatrice for the next six hours or more. She looked down at the colourful plaster Beatrice placed on her hand and smiled.Beatrice, on the other hand, was happy as she went inside and started working on her secret agenda. She locked herself indoor to get progress in her work while aunty Mimi was touting around in the garden.****In Ely, Goerge entered into the restaurant in his suit and with just an assistant. He sent the other on an important assignment.He walked toward the table occupied by a couple, Mark and Benita who were looking at eachother like they will begin to fight in t
