LUSCIOUS POISON

Chapter 9

"You really can do everything, can't you?"

Calla knew owns that voice, it was Coleen but she didn't waste her time to bother herself of like turning back just to see her cousin. She doesn't know what is going on and the entire Vasquez are there at the house. She wasn't informed but when she spotted those cars at the garage, she already had the idea on her mind.

"You are such a disappointment, Calla. You are always like a disappointment," said Jasmine for she was able to ran with her b*tch of cousins. Now, Coleen was able to stand before her after Jasmine made her stopped by blocking her way.

"Aalis kayo sa harapan ko, o babasagin ko iyang mga pagmumukha ninyo?" She uttered seriously.

Both her cousins raised their brows and gulped in unison because of her tone. She can always make people back off with her tone of voice, especially when she's serious as f*ck. Despite to the two not knowing what she said about they gave her way.

"What a war freak," before she turned her back at them, she even heard Jasmine uttered the word.

She went straight to her room for she have to pack her stuffs but when she has to take the last step of the stair, her mom showed up looking at her with that sharp stare.

"You really can control this nation, Calla. That is why I want you to stop making things that would make the people turn their back at us. Not all the time the heaven would be in your side."

"All your words have been savedin my mind, ma, you don't have to tell me flowery and you don't have to sugarcoat things. By the way, since you are here and for your peac eof mind, I am leaving in 30 minutes and probably, I will be back in 1 week."

Her mom's eyes narrowed and looked at her like she was demanding for a further explanation, as if this is the first time she left for a week. She even left for a couple moths before and that Llana spread a rumor that she was dead.

"Where are you going?" Her mom followed her when she take her step to her room. "Calla, you should not left, the house is just gaining back t´ reputation ----"

"Ma, can't you see it? Do you think I would something with that thing? I have already done my part. I have already cleaned my name. What else do you want me to do? Stay here? Be like you? Because ma, I'm telling you, I am a career driven woman and I have a company to run."

"What is that supposed to mean, Calla? I am your mother," said her mom in that low but threatening tone.

"Sure.'" Nodded. She took her bag out as well as some of corporate clothes and some. "But I never had a mother ever since I was a kid, as much as i can remember," she calmly said while fixing her stuffs and didn't bother to give her mom a gaze.

"I was so busy keeping our place in this family, Calla. Look at where are we now."

With that she stopped what she is doing, she lifted her gaze and looked at her mother with that smile on her face.

"Wrong, mama. You neglected me all my life, I know," her mom's expression fell down. She maybe didn't expect her to tell such word. "If I didn't get your beauty and even more beautiful, I wonder if you're going to acknowledge me your daughter. I have eyes and ears, mama. I can see and most of all I can hear."

Her mom gaped and couldn't even think of a word to say. She smiled and continued what she is doing with her mother stunned in front of her. When she have all the stuffs she needs and packed, she picked up her bag and smiled to her mother before she leave her own room.

She is not sorry because why would she? She only uttered the fact and there is nothing wrong for telling facts. She saw her cousins sitting on the couch as she passed them but she didn't speak a word.

She is going to be hosting a month fashion show for her business. Her family for sure doesn't know about that for they never give her attention. Not even once. as she opened the engine, she drove her car out of the Vasquez' property.

This will be a long ride for her and her girl friends will be just meeting her at the place. Irene and Natasha, she always got them on her back and she's always thankful with the two. Although, it has always been the rumor for her being the bossy, the b*tch, the spoiled and she's not correcting that because those are true.

And her girl friends just laughed the hell out of that. The Vasquez didn't like them for they didn't came from a royal family despite of the fact they were rich rich. But she is not living the life her family wants her to have. She is living her life because she wants to live but like this and she's not sorry for being b***h.

No one is sorry when they made her like one. She stopped her car in front of her boutique.

Her employee immediately showed that wide smile upon seeing her.

"Your highness, I didn't expect to see you here," her employee — Meagan, bowed her head to greet her. The other employees did the same.

She only came here is she wanst too.

"I have to get something, Meagan. Where is the dress I asked you to keep it?"

Meagan went so excited. "Ohh. That dress, I make sure to keep it safe, your highness. I will get it for you."

"Yes please, and I am in a hurry, so if you please..."

"Of course, your highness," said Meagan and immediately ran into where she put the dress to keep.

Calla noticed the simple gaze of teh customers to her so she looked at this young lady shopping here and was choosing dresses.

"Have you found the best dress for you?" She asked the young lady with no introduction.

She caught how the girl panicked smiling and looking at her.

"I... I have already got one and still want some 2," said the young lady shyly.

"By looking at you, I can tell your perfect size," she said that made the young lady turned to her. "That corner has the sized for you." She pointed the corner of some luxury dresses.

"Real---"

"Here is the dress, your highness," Meagan butt in and she took the dress from her employee's hand and without saying anything, she turned her back and leave the place.
