DEBBY IS GETTING COLD FEET

CHAPTER 17

DEBBY

She hated the man a lot, she should sack him soon enough. Who does he even think he is? If not for what she needed him for, he didn’t worth saying “hi” to her. Thinking of
it, how could her husband even get someone like him to be his special adviser or P.A or whatever he is, now that he is married to her, he only needed to trust her.

She hissed and stood up from her seat. What would it have cost him to just give her details of the child that was coming to join. The way John had responded was really mean.

“You don’t need to know anything, all you need to know is that the heir of FranNicholas is coming home to his father’s house”

She hissed more loudly. He had said that intentionally. She was not going to be a threat to her step child. Step child. She grimaced. She was going to become a mother!

Dear God! This was fate, she had just renounced her mother and now she was going to be a mother to another’s child. Is karma not laughing at her already?

She was going to be as nice as possible. Probably get the child a present. A toy. Where was he even coming from, no one knows except John and that limping bastard wouldn’t tell her anything unless she has sex with him!

They had a deal that the affair would stop if he didn’t get her to meet Frank. He was more than ready to help and he eventually got her to move in to the mansion.

It was a dream come true for her and too easy, within three months, she had moved in. Frank had said to her. “John said I need someone to be taking care of me and you are very beautiful, can you do that?”

Just like that, she had moved in the next day. All she needed to do was be the queen of the palace even though it wasn’t really official with a ring and all. She wasn’t bothered,  since she had all she needed, fame, as she soon started getting the press in the house. Yes, Frank was a very private person but she wasn’t, she soon started getting featured on “What’s Hot?” TV programs and her pictures were at the front of some magazines. Everyone wanted to meet the Queen of the mansion. She was finally living the life she wanted and she was always travelling  around the country and outside for events Frannicky wouldn’t attend. She knew if the President’s wife is more famous than her right now, she would soon catch up in few weeks.

She kept receiving several abusive messages on her social media pages from Vera and some people she calls “haters” but they don’t bother her. She got to know that Vera was not in the country anymore so there was little she could do to hurt her.

She stretched a hand to reach  the telephone by her bed side. Putting the receiver to her ear, she dialed some numbers.

“Yea, Peri, you and Ella can come now”

She replaced the receiver and glanced at the wall clock, it was amost four, the press could start coming in any moment and she needed to get ready both for them and their guest.

John had told her not to invite the press, but he can never tell her what she ought to do and what she ought not to do. The man has certainly forgotten his place. she had called the press people shortly after John left to bring their guest. the boy was going to be in the spotlight now and she needed to be part of it. She wouldn’t get side lined.

A knock sounded on the door –

“yea, come in.”

The two ladies came in, she had hired them permanently to do her shoppings, make up, hair and other things. In a nutshell, they fill in the gap where Debby is lacking.

Debby, where was that girl. She had been avoiding her ever since they moved into this house-

“Did you two see Debby”

They both shook their heads.

“I think she has a class today” Pella stated.

“Okay” Debby replied. “Come fix me up, it’s almost time and the press would soon be here.”
