Chapter 40: Selfish Daughter

Fiona ignored her mother’s painful grunts for help, choosing rather to sit and stew in her own sorrow.

The woman should just die, and stop stressing me. She thought, as she tore another tissue and wiped her running nose.

When Ewan dismissed her earlier in the hospital, she had thought it a joke, she had thought she was dreaming.

She had pinched herself to awaken from the nightmare, yet she had retained the same position, had remained in the reality where Ewan shunned her.

It had never happened before!

He had never shunned her that way in public!

He had even annulled their engagement!

That one tore at Fiona’s heart the most.

An engagement she had waited for, sought for, killed for, and now she was being cut away by Ewan himself?

No! She couldn’t take it!

Ewan couldn’t do this to her, not after her many labours!

She wouldn’t accept his decision! She just couldn’t, no matter what!

Fiona stood up from the sitting room sofa and started pacing.

How could she avert this? How could she change Ewan’s mind?

The more she thought about it, the more apprehensive she became.

So when her mother’s grunt for help came again, she paused and glared at the staircase leading to the upper room where her mother was kept.

Just die, woman!

Fiona was glad that her father wasn’t around.

She didn’t know where he had gone, abadoning his precious wife, and she didn’t really care.

If he had been around when Sandro had dumped her rudely at the front porch, he would have raised a storm.

Not that Sandro would have cared...

Sandro was another person she had added to her list to deal with it, when she finally became Ewan’s wife, but the dream too had fallen like a pack of cards.

Fiona shook her head. Her story just couldn’t end like that.

No, something had to be done.

Right then, she heard the sound of her father’s car coming into the compound.

Quickly, she opened the front door a little, left it like that, and hurried upstairs to her mother’s room.
