CHAPTER 18
IRIS LOU POV
“So you’re the mother of this young stupid lady?” The one who slapped bea earlier said with a smile.
“Don’t ever call my daughter a stupid if you don’t want me to hit you on that wall. Let’s see who will hit the ground harder than you two.” I said coldly to her and she seemed to be insulted by what I said.
“Maybe you forgot you’re in our territory so we can release that you’re a house climber.” She said with a smile.
“Sister brianna, don’t do that.” Bea said softly.
“And why not?” Brianna raised an eyebrow at Bea who was still on her knees.
“Stand up there bea now.” I strongly command her and as she was ready to stand when Brianna stop her her.
“No! Just stay there until I told you to stand up.” Brianna said angrily.
“And as for you, I don’t care if this is you daughter, still my law will be followed here because I am the new owner of this orpanage.”She said angrily to me. so I couldn’t hold back any longer and approached her before holding her neck and looking her in the eye with sharp looks coming from my two eyes.
“You don’t have the right to take what you don’t own and you don’t have the right to hurt them, if it’s your law to follow the too bad I don’t know how to follow other’s law because I have my own law so don’t try to oppose me because you don’t know what kind of a person you’re going to hit. ” I said coldly to her before I push her and I heard herikw feeling the pain but I just ignored it and held out my hand to bea who was on her knees. she took my hand so I pulled her upright before kneeling to work on her two knees that were already red. when she knelt down I stood up and looked at the two nuns holding sister hera.
“Release her if you don’t want to see the devil early.” I warned them and I saw that fear passed right in their eyes and they slowly let go of sister hera so she was still sitting on the floor and bea attended. the two approached brianna.
“From now on, I don’t want to see the three of here again inside this orpanage.” I spoke coldly but calmly to them so they looked at me and beat me at the same time as brianna suddenly stood up and looked at me badly.
“Who are you, do you think we can get out of here just like that!” She shouted at me.
“Who am I? I’m the only one who will kill you and dig your own grave in the yard if the three of you didn’t leave right now.” I said usung my scary voice.
“You can’t do that. I’ll report you yo the police. What right do you have? You’re just a low class creature while we’re serving god!” Shout one.
“How did you manage to serve God in that situation huh?”
“Are there any nuns like you who have been able to hurt the children here and you have been able to claim what is not yours?”
“You know you’re not fit to serve god you’re fit for hell.” I told them coldly.
“I can’t be willing to map you out of here, You two help me get out this woman in the world.” Brianna said to the two nuns with her. They would approach me but i just laugh I was like a demon so they stopped.
“What do you think can kill me? Maybe you forgot you don’t know me very well yet.” I grinned devilishly at the three of them.
“I warned you three that I will count you for only five seconds and when you didn’t leave in front of me you will really find what you are looking for I swear.” I told them I could see the fear in their eyes.
“We’ll get you back and we’re not done yet!” She said angrily and as they started to leave, I turned to bea and sister hera. before approaching them.
“Sister Hera, are you all right?” I Concernedly asked her.
“I’m fine , I’m glad you came back after you’ve been gone for so long.” Smiling she told me.
“I’m sorry sister hera, I was came late but I’ll make sure this petals orphanage returns to the old petals orphanage.” I told to her before slowing to stand up.
“Bea where is sister hera’s room here?” I asked bea.
“We don’t have anything because sister brianna and the two with her took sister hera’s room so I’m just taking care of sister hera in the storage room, which become our room.” Bea’s polite answer is why the anger has formed in my heart again, I will make sure those three rot in jail.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Where’s brianna’s room, from now on sister hera will be back there.” I said that’s why bea pointed the way when we arrived, so I immediately supported sister hera to lay on the bed.
“Daughter thank you.” Sister Hera said softly to me.
“I don’t thank me sister hera you were a part of my life then and until now you are still a part of my life so it is my responsibility to help you and forgive me because I didn’t reach sister lina and I didn’t even help you during those times. You need my help. ” I speak softly here.
“It’s been a long time since that happened, that’s what’s important you’re here.” She smiled at me.
“Bea please look at the child outside earlier and eat in the kitchen I know you haven’t eaten yet so take care of the children first I’ll take care of sister hera and don’t worry about brianna I’ll take care of them. ” I ordered her so she nodded before leaving the room.
When bea came out, I sat on the side of the bed where sister hera was lying. she is old so I knows that is the reason why she is weak and i know she is feeling sick.
“Iris.” She spoke softly.
“What’s that sister hera?” I answer her.
“Can you promise me that you won’t leave the children in this orphanage?”She asked me so I stopped before I answered.
“Yes sister I promise they are in good hands.” I answer her.
“It’s good to her that because I know I won’t last long in this world and I’ll follow Lina.” She said smiling. because she said that I couldn’t help but shed tears in my eyes as I looked at her weakly.
“Don’t say that sister I know you will live long and I will introduce you to my son.” I said.
“You had a child, who is the father?” She asked.
“His father is an asshole, sister.” I said laughing.
“How did the father become like that?” she said softly.
“If you have a child, it means you and pards didn’t mean to each other.” She spoke weakly.
“If you two stay together I can be sure you are a happy family now.” She said with a smile.
“Hopefully I’ll get to know who’s that pards first before I fall for the others.” I ride on her story.
“When will I see your son? Maybe lina will catch up with me and pick me up.”She was still joking so my tears flowed again I know she was just trying to joke.
“I know you want to rest but fight back. We love you a lot and I will do everything to make you stronger. If I have to hire the best doctor in the world, just get you well. I’ll do it.” I said softly because the tears could not be stopped from dripping into my eyes.
“Don’t you want me to rest Iris? Your expenses will be wasted because I myself am so tired I want to rest I just waited for god to take back the life he lent me.” I saw tears dripping from her right eye. I can’t bear to see her struggling anymore. I know she wants to give up.
“Sister, I know you’re tired so I’m letting you rest.” I said I saw her smile and I soaked myself in her smiles that she was ready to leave the world.
“Thank you, don’t let the petals orpanage fall down we are just above while watching over you here below.”She said.
“Yes.” I said at the same time that she closed her eyes and I couldn’t stop myself from crying because she died right in front of me. It hurts so much to lose someone important in your life. so I can’t even afford to lose someone mportant in my life again. While I was in that position, that’s also the door opened and knew it was Bea, I could feel her approaching me at the same time as she hugged me with both arms.
