Chapter 5. Down syndrome.Was this girl dumb or what? She was very amused."You have to compensate me." The girl demanded. "Why should she compensate you? It was clearly an accident, Clara!" Kay said meaningfully and a lot of people agreed with her. "Mind your business Kay. It's between me and her!" She said with annoyance.Kay wanted to reply but Rory glanced at her telling her to be quiet."How should I compensate you?" She said with a cryptic smile. The girl,who was Carla, smiled satisfactorily. "Wipe off the Mac and cheese from my clothes. Right now.""Okay!" Rory accepted. She went to a table, picked up the water from there and walked back to Clara. By now everyone's attention was on Clara. Clara was the scho
The next day at school.Sammy was finally discharged and came to school today. Her friends flocked around her and started sympathizing with her."Sammy,it must have been hard on you". One girl said."I wonder who would have done such a terrible thing to you?" Another girl said."If I ever find that person,I would beat the person to a pulp!" Another girl said angrily.No one knew about Rory's identity as the real young miss of the Devane Family that's the reason Sammy couldn't say who actually pushed her and left the identity space blank. If word got out that she was the illegitimate daughter and her mother was the mistress she would be done for. Her reputation in the society would plummet to the ground. It couldn't happen. Sammy's eyes were lowered so no one could see what she was thinking. Everyone thought she was nice and sweet.....Rory walked into the school. Her hair was blown by the breeze. She looked like a painting. As she was walking,she spotted a
"Rory! Rory!!" Kay rushed into the class while yelling Rory's name.Rory raised her eyebrow calmly sipping juice from a small juice box. "You're so calm?! How can you be so calm,when the whole school thinks that you are a gold digger?!" Kay asked a little flustered and angry. How was she so calm?!Rory just glanced at her and didn't say anything. It took longer than she expected. She knew that the only person who could spread this kind of rumor is her sister,Sammy. This morning's incident must have annoyed her. She has seen been through a lot of heart ache and torture,so why would such words affect her. She wasn't that squeamish. She had lived with Sammy for a long time and she was well aware of the right buttons to press and calling her an illegitmate child did the trick. This was all part of the main plan. Everything would soon be clear soon.As Rory was unaffected,her classmates were not. They were all upset."How could people think that?" One person said with
Rory wasn't moved and just felt bored by their nonsense. By now, Clara's screaming caught the attention of passerbys and they all stopped to watch what was happening. "What nonsense are you spouting?" Terrance looked at Clara with clear disgust. "Now am spouting nonsense? I wonder what she did to you to make you stand up for her? She's just a harlot and an orphan! Don't fall for her tricks! She's only using you for your money!" Clara warned Terrance.Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with some even adding their comments."Clara is right! She's really shameless!""How can a prostitute be in an institution of learning?""I don't even want to stand on the same ground as her,talk more of breathing the same air with her!""At such a young age, she's already engaging in such disgraceful acts!""She's just a pretty face!" "She got into the school with a backdoor entry and to top it off she used unclean money to do so!"Terrance glanced cold
Rory came down stairs with a small blue box in her hands. "Rory where did you get the money to start schooling?" Mrs Devane asked her."None of your business". Rory simply replied."Rory!" Mrs Devane yelled at her. "How dare you?!" Rory laughed and said matter of factly,"You kicked me out of the house and told me I am no longer part of the family. So what I do with my life has nothing to do with you!""Rory, mom is just looking out for you. Moreover isn't it strange that out of the blue you just start attending one of the most expensive schools in the town with no explanation. People are bound to spread rumors". Sammy said as if she was trying to help Rory out. Rory sneered at them. This mother and daughter pair are really something. "The daughter of a mistress can go to school freely with no criticism but I can't?" Rory asked calmly. Her words made the color on both the mother and daughter's face drain. Mrs Devane's face darkened."Who are you calling a
The next day was Saturday so she wasn't going to school. She went downstairs for breakfast only to find that she was the only one at the table."Zoe Zoe,is Daniel not joining us for breakfast?""No Rory. He's in the study,so he won't be able join you for breakfast."Butler Zoe answered.Rory nodded and didn't ask any further questions. It wasn't that butler Zoe was the only servant in the house, but she first met butler Zoe, naturally she'd be close to him. There was also Cecilia who she called Cece. Cece was also a major figure in the house like butler Zoe but wasn't as powerful. After breakfast Rory decided to take a tour around the house.Apart from her room and the library that Daniel showed her yesterday,she hadn't really been to any part of the house. Exploring the house was in was the best option and it would really help her not to die of boredom. Rory started with the huge garden that had different flowers. Some of the flowers she knew while the rest were
"Yes we have a guest"Butler Zoe informed. A guest? "A guest?"She asked."Yes"He replied.She gently nodded. She really didn't want to go. She'd rather spend the whole day in this room playing the piano. However,it won't be nice to send the guest away so she agreed. Rory followed butler Zoe and she made sure she marked the directions of the route to the piano room.When they reached downstairs,she saw a handsome man with black hair and black eyes. He was wearing casual clothes and he looked about Daniel's age. The man had an aura that was powerful and aloof but he wasn't as cold has Daniel.The man looked up and saw the darkest blue eyes staring at him with curiousity. Rory was carefully observing the man and the man was doing the same to Rory. His curiousity was piqued. Why was there a girl in Daniel's house? Daniel didn't like women. So who was she? Was she a friend? Of a relative of some sort? But Daniel didn't even like his
"Wife huh?"Nate said immediately she left the room."Hmm". Daniel replied casually."I didn't know you were interested in young girls."He said jokingly.Daniel glared at him."Don't glare at me. Am serious. Isn't she too young for you?"He asked more seriously."She's 18 and she'll grow. I'll make sure she has the necessary comfort. I'll guide her and help her make the right choices. " He said like a doting father. He looked so serious and his grey eyes became soft and loving. Nate was stunned for a second. Was this Daniel Froster? He was now curious to know more about this girl. Because the girl who could soften Daniel's heart wasn't ordinary.......30 minutes passed and Rory came back downstairs. Coincidentally,Nate was already leaving."You are leaving?"She asked."Yes little one"Nate said while ruffling her hair. She was so adorable. He just had this feeling to protect her."Ok bye Uncle Nate"She said goodbye to him."Uncle Nate?"
