The Woman From Hell



Come evening, I got off work early and waited for Theo and Townsend to return.

Around seven o'clock, I heard sounds coming from outside the door.

I stood up and looked out. Sure enough, they had returned. I grinned as I faced them. "You guys are finally back. Caroline is done with dinner."

"Great! I'm practically starving." Townsend rubbed his stomach as he made his way toward the dining room.

I looked at Theo. His eyes had followed Townsend before he turned to me and smiled. "Why are you spacing out? Let's eat."

He pulled me to the dining room, pulled out a chair, and we sat down together.

Townsend was as unrestrained as someone who was the host of the villa. He even kept persuading me to eat when he saw that I had not touched my cutlery. "Why aren't you eating? Is it because you want to lose weight after I called you fat yesterday?"

I lowered my gaze, casually picking up some food and putting it into my mouth while saying leisurely, "I didn't even know you called me fat."

"So, Theo didn't tell you. I thought he did. You really walked right into that one." Townsend's tone was dripping with self-mockery, but he was clearly showing off his relationship with Theo with his smiling expression. He even glanced at Theo after he said that.

Theo had also looked at him. Although he did not say anything, his eyes revealed everything.

There must be something going on between them.

The sourness in my heart gradually emerged. It was even tinged with curiosity. I must get to the bottom of their relationship!

I was firm in my thoughts and did not realize that I had been poking my food repeatedly. After Theo's reminder, I looked down and realized that there were many holes in my food.

"Don't tell me you're stabbing your food thinking it's me?" Townsend, who was seated opposite me, smiled weakly. His tone was also weak.

I was no longer in the mood to eat when I saw him. So, I put down my cutlery and pressed my lips together. "I'm full. You guys eat. I'm going back to my room."

I got up and was about to head upstairs when Theo's voice came from behind. "Wanda, you haven't eaten much."

"I've lost my appetite. You take your time."

With a sigh of grievance, I went upstairs to the room with heavy steps.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I punched the soft bed a few times for release. Then, I lay down and looked at the white ceiling. My mind was filled with images of Theo and Townsend together.

Ever since Townsend came, Theo's attention has been on him. He would sometimes even ignore my feelings, which was something he never did before His kindness toward

Townsend was also unprecedented. Why was this?

Just as I was contemplating, the phone rang. It was a video call from Shannon answered it and saw that she was putting on a mask. She had just glanced at me when she noticed my displeasure. "Judging from your expression, you just got pissed off?"

"Yeah. Why did you call?"

"Oh, nothing. I just want to know if you've asked Theo?"

I shook my head. “They're still eating downstairs. It might take a while before he comes up. They chatted till late last night. I don't know what time it'll be today."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"My my my, your tone is acid. I didn't expect your rival in love to be a man!" Shannon could not speak clearly with the mask on, but I could still vaguely get what she was saying.

I sighed, my expression ashen. "I have to make things clear with Theo no matter how late I have to wait for him before I sleep!"
