Chapter 263 - Little Witch (1/2)

''Ma'am, what happened? Are you okay?'' The driver, who felt they had walked through hell and out unscathed, turned to Tiana and asked, looking shocked.

Contrary to what he had expected, she did not look perturbed; her eyes stared straight at the road.

''I'm fine, I hope they didn't hurt you?'' The driver shook his head, and turned to the road, driving speedily out of the street. Something was definitely wrong with his Boss's wife but he could not even put his head around it.

When Tiana got home, she locked her room and took out the tiny video recorder and placed it in a chest, then got out of her clothes and soaked in a bath, closing her eyes. She wasn't sure if what she told Michelle would work but if she wanted to tear Douglas down she would do it in a grand style. He wanted the company right? She would let him have it, but she would make sure she tormented him like burning coals, so much that he would want to run but he would have nowhere to run to. Since he wanted Howells Corporation she would let him know that he would not shed innocent blood and expect to go free, he should just wait.

Just when she was about to sleep, her phone rang. It was an unknown number, so she stared at it for a minute before picking up.

''hello? ''

''Tiana, I heard you forced your way out of my house? ''

Tiana chuckled when she heard Douglas's voice; ''Douglas, do you even believe those words you said? Like, how can I, an unarmed and petite woman, force my way out of your house, with the zillion guards you have? Is that even possible? '' Tiana asked, with a mocking chuckle;

''Just so you know, your wife threw me out of your house, and do you expect me to wait at the gates for you? I had to leave, ask her, she knows the truth. But don't worry, I'm going to choose you no matter where I am, you don't have to trouble yourself about that, um, sorry I have to go, I need to sleep, today had been quite stressful. '' she said and cut the call, throwing her phone across the bed, a chuckle leaving her lips.

What a family of clowns, she thought.

She wondered how he got her number, but she did not think much about it, if he could hire people to hack into the latest Maserati there was nothing he could not do.

Douglas ended the call and before Michelle could say a word, a slap landed on her chin. She stumbled backward to steady herself, her eyes seeing stars.

''How dare you? '' He didn't bother asking her if it was true or not, because he knew what she was capable of.

Michelle bit her lower lip but she could not even defend herself. When he came back, she told him that Tiana had threatened to go against the deal if she wasn't let go, she told him that because she knew how he would react if he knew that she was the one that let her go; she had told Tiana earlier to cooperate with her, and she had agreed, but it seemed she just made a fool out of her.

''Get out! '' Douglas blared and Michelle sauntered out of the room before he would descend on her. She stood outside the door and she tried to touch her cheeks but it stung badly so she retracted her hands, it fell weakly to her side, as her head bowed. At that moment, she didn't know who she hated more_ the witch of a woman, Tiana, or her demon of a husband.
