7 Five Minutes (2/2)

Shola nodded and watched as Nathan walked towards the garden, lost in thought Shola scratched her chin 'if its Nathan's mother that means the person who poisoned her was here, atleast that was what her mom said' Shola looked at the direction where Nathan went to, she came to a decision and followed behind him.

”Now is the perfect opportunity to divorce the girl, Nathan”

The woman had dark green eyes with red lips, she looked younger than age.

”Mother we're not discussing this again, you're going have to get used to having Sholana as your daughter in-law”

Nathan said with a cold tone and his voice void of any emotion.

Shola was surprised at the horrible comment her 'mother in-law' was saying about her, she got really angry.

”That girl does not deserve to be married into our family, she is not even from our country and our family traditions are being ruined because of her, listen to me as the filial son that you are, you should listen to your mother and divorce her before her memories come back! or else....”

”Or else what?” Shola had heard enough of insults for one day, just because of where she came from?....she was proud of her country and being the kind of person who wouldn't let anyone who tries to bully her get away with it, she was ready to talk back.

The old madam Lu was a bit surprised at the way Shola spoke to her, she had never heard her speak in that manner before.

”Or else what?, are you going to poison me again or.....are going to finally stop being a coward and come at me face to face” Shola immediately regretted what she said in a fit of rage, she just called Nathan's mother a coward.

”You....” Madam Lu pointed at Shola her fingers trembling slightly ”That poison was meant to finish you off, even though it didn't do what I wanted it still gave you the brain of a child so, I won't take your childish words to heart????” Madam Lu saw the change in Shola's expression and smiled satisfied.

'I am a child' Shola said to her self, a smirk appeared on her face but quickly changed to a bullied child, tears were threatening to drop from her eyes and she looked extremely pitiful.

”Nathan, am I really that stupid?, do really act like a child?” Shola held his arm looking up at him, Nathan's gaze grew softer as he touched her cheek

”You're the most intelligent woman I know”

Shola didn't want to resort to this but, she was really getting tired of standing.

Madam Lu who was just busy recovering from the evil smirk the girl just showed her heard a cold voice in front of her with a hint of anger

”Mother, if there's nothing else you can leave now!” Nathan spat out ruthlessly making his mother shiver involunterary

”This woman will be the end of you”

Madam Lu said as she looked at the girl behind her son with disdain.

Shola felt the woman's stare on her and she stared back smiling deviously.
