Mr Sam’s Pov:
I stormed into the room angrily.
Charlotte was changing into her nightie when I got in.
“Hey baby” She said softly
I breathed heavily.
“Charlotte why did you $lap our daughter?” I asked in annoyance.
She scoffed.
“Baby listen… She’s my daughter too so for me to raise my hands on her means she did something really wrong” She said.
I scratched my head in anger.
“Really? So you now believe in scolding or disciplining children huh? But you talked me against it” I said angrily
She gulped nervously.
“Baby she… She made jest of Cassandra in school” She replied
“Nonsense! Absolute rubbish…. And so what Charlotte? And you didn’t bother to hear from your own daughter first” I said
“But Sam Cassandra couldn’t just lie against….” Charlotte tried saying
“Oh please! Cut it off already…. When did Cassandra become a saint?” I asked
“I just wanted to discipline our child Sam” She said
“Don’t you dare that Charlotte! Let her be and one more thing… Let this be the last time I will have to discuss about Cassandra in this house again” I said
“Honey Cassandra was once our daughter” Charlotte said
“I love your statement Charlotte…. Like you said, Cassandra WAS…. that’s in the past now” I said
“But Sam she feels so rejected” Charlotte cried out.
“And so what Charlotte? You know how Cassandra is don’t you?” I asked furiously
“Listen Sam I know you might think am stupid or foolish but believe me this is not easy for me…. For nineteen years of her life and my life, I loved her, she was my daughter! We did everything together and all in a snap everything changed” She cried out.
“I know Charlotte but you should try to bond with your real daughter… For that same nineteen years of your life, she lived a loveless life! She lived a life of hardship without parental love” I said
“Babe this is difficult for me…. I feel like a part of me was taken away too…. Cassandra was my all in all” She said in tears as I hugged her
“You should learn to show love to my daughter” I said as I hugged her tightly.
I don’t really blame her….
She still sees Cassie as her daughter!
Do you blame her? ?
Jake’s Pov:
It was on a Saturday….
I was upstairs in my room playing computer games.
I yawned hungrily.
“G©sh… When are they ever going to finish preparing lunch?” I muttered to myself.
Then aunty Claudie knocked and walked in.
“Hi aunt Claudie! What’s up? Is lunch ready?” I asked with my eyes still focused on the computer.
“Uhmm… Someone is here to see you” She said
“Who?” I asked
“Just come and see the person” She said and rushed out of the room.
“Arrgghhhh…..” I groaned as I walked out of the room.
I can’t wait to finish up that game.
I walked downstairs.
“Hi baby….” That was Cassandra’s voice.
I stared at her in surprise.
“Cassandra? What…. What are you doing here?” I asked in surprise.
She smiled broadly at me.
“What do you mean by what am I doing here? We never broke up Jake, we’re still together” She said.
I shook my head as she walked closer to hug me.
“Cassandra please… I don’t know what you’re talking about” I said walking away from him.
She snorted.
“Jake why are you suddenly being so mean?” She blurted out.
“Cassandra I will be honest with you… I am no longer interested in this relationship, am freaking tired of it” I said as I sat on the couch backing her.
She burst into tears.
“What? What are you saying Jake?” She asked with a teary voice.
“Cassandra I know I’ve not been the best or perfect but please I want you to understand me, the truth is I don’t love you anymore Cassie” I said as I breathed heavily.
“What? Why Jake? Is it because of that girl? Is it because of that thief? It’s because of her right? Because of Gracie?” She wailed
“Cassandra you need to understand that Gracie never stole anything from you… And yes! It’s Gracie I love and want” I said
Cassandra screamed in pain as she kicked the table roughly.
“That girl has taken everything single thing I have from me including you Jake! I’ll never forgive her” She cried out.
I quickly stood up and held her.
“Cassandra Gracie did no such thing OK? Needless bearing grudges” I said.
She snatched her hands from me and sniffed.
“Don’t you dare defend her… I promise you Jake she will pay for everything… I mean everything” She said with hatred written all over her.
Before I could say a word, she already ran out of the house.
I sat heavily on the cushion.
Am sorry Casandra but I can’t risk my happiness just for you to be happy.
I really don’t think I can cope with someone like you.
it’s really Gracie whom I love and care about.
I breathed heavily.
Cassandra’s Pov:
I hopped into my car angrily and in hot tears.
I drove out of the mansion in so much annoyance.
What have I ever done to that crazy Gracie?
Why is she stealing everything from me?
Ever since that girl came into my life, my life has been h’ll ?
She has brought me nothing but pain, sorrow and misery.
First it was my position in class!
Secondly it was my family…. my popularity!
Now it’s Jake…..
I can’t bear this anymore.
I have to put that girl in her place
I’ll make sure she regrets ever getting to know me!
And she will forever regret crossing my path.
Gracie Salvador…. You will pay for all the pains you’ve caused me!
I groaned in pain as I hit the car steering wheel angrily.
This is going to be the beginning of her hardship, pain and suffering.

? MONDAY ?
I walked into the school premises with my backpack on my back.
I heard some whispering and laughter.
I turned around and saw my enemy Amelia laughing with her crazy group of girls.
I gulped hard as I gnash my teeth.
“Someone looks so pathetic!” Amelia teased
I paid a deaf ear to her.
“Amelia have you heard that Jake broke up with her” Her friends laughed.
My heart was already burning up in annoyance.
But I had to control my anger.
“Yes! How touchy… Her life is really a bad one, she’s now a slum girl and her friends now wants to befriend her enemy Gracie” Amelia laughed
“That’s ridiculous!” They mocked as they walked past me.
I blinked hard to stop myself from crying.
Just then, a message popped into my cell phone.
It was from the school’s group chat.
?Have you heard Jake broke up with Cassandra Salvador??
?Did you say Salvador? She’s not really a Salvador?
?I heard she’s a Montes ?
?The proud peacock is now a slum girl?
?I heard Jake is in love with Gracie Salvador?
?Really??
?They will make a good couple?
I quickly turned off my phone in tears.
I ran off in anger.
But then, my eyes caught with something.
I saw Lucy, Kiara and Joann sharing their snack with Gracie and her friend Mona.
I quickly ran off in tears.
Gracie’s Pov:
I was busy with my books together with Mona when Jake walked into the library.
“The bookworms!” He teased us
We shared a laugh.
“Here I got you guys some ice cream to cool off.
He handed a nylon to us.
“Thank you so much Jake!” I said in excitement.
Mona quickly unwrapped the nylon and started scooping the ice cream into her mouth.
“Mona the foodie” I said as we laughed.
“Have you seen the notice at the notice board?” Jake asked as we shook our heads in disagreement.
“Go on… Let’s go see it” He said as we hurried off.
Cassandra’s Pov:
I stared at the noticeboard with so much excitement.
So the school prom is fast approaching huh?
This weekend is the school prom… ?
I will use this prom to my favour…
This is the right time to put Gracie in her place.
I smirked wickedly!
THE BEST SCHOOL PROM EVER???
I can’t wait to unleash my plans…
