My One And Only

“What?? Not up to your high profile standard??”

I heard Madison’s voice asking me in a mocking tone, smirking.

“I mean if it were to be mistaken with a palace then girl, you were in for a major blow.”

Madison laughed right away after whatever she said, sitting on the sofa.

I did not like the welcoming vibe at all but I had no choice. I needed to suck it up and move forward.

“Madi behave. Tinsley is our guest now so try to be friendly and cooperate. ”

Anna Maria asserted with an authoritative voice to which Madi gave no heads at all. She just shook her head and continued to laugh as she found whatever she said a few seconds ago too funny.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as I was to move forward and head to any one of the two-room that was before me. I was stopped on my way.

“Wai… wait… where the hell you are heading to?? That is my room. ”

Madi shouted and got up from where she was seating and walked up to me. I was seriously done with her tantrums and taunting.

I had done nothing wrong to her but she was just hell-bent on hating me and make things difficult for me when my parents died just a day from today and lost everything the next day successively.

All I needed was peace and a moment of silence to rethink my life but here I was so much engrossed with dealing with all the aftershocks of my life after the death of my parents and it was getting crazy.

“Madi calm your horses down. She is our guest and we do not shout at them. ”

Anna Maria stepped in as she saw how both of us were glaring into the eyes of each other as if one of us would kill the other any second.

Of course, I would not kill Madi even when she was being a bitch to me for I had been taught to be kind ad compassionate and not act like a crazy bitch in heat from the other side of the world.

“Listen nana, I m letting too much in by allowing a total stranger live with us so do not ask any more from me.”

Madi spoke out, glaring at me then moving her eyes to Anna Maria and then back onto me, going back to glaring.

“Tinsley is not a stranger, Madi and what did I tell you about?? Her parents are dead, take it easy on the poor girl. It has not been two days.”

Anna Maria’s comment made me look like a pity case and I made no effort to say it otherwise because I still did not feel the need to get in between a fight.

“She is a stranger to me and parents dying is no big deal. I have survived without mine till now.”

Madi remarked as if I was too weak and needed to grow up from being a spoon-fed child.

Madi’s parents died long before even she was able to understand the first syllables and Anna Maria had been taking care of her ever since even when she was gone most of the time, taking care of me in the mansion so Madi claimed that she grew up herself.

“Plus why is she even here?? She could go back to her lifetime rich fiance’s house and live there. Why is she even here??”

Madi added, now losing all her patience of seeing me here, in their house which had not been even half an hour.

“Madi behave. Do not act like a bratty child. I taught you better.”

Anna Maria continued to stand by my side while I remained silent watching the nana and granddaughter fight for someone who shared no relation with them.

“Do not tell me to behave. You did not teach me a damn thing. I taught myself everything when you were out there, wiping this bitch ass and what not… ”

“Madison enough… go to your room.”

Anna Maria interrupted Madi right away. I was stunned at how things were turning out. Seemed like Madi hated me for I took all of Anna Maria’s time when she babysat me, giving no time to little Madison.

“No… no yet when I thought this bitch grew up, everything would stop…”

“Stop addressing Tinsley with the ‘b’ word…”

“No… no I would not. I m old enough to decide for myself who I want to address with the ‘b’ word, nana.”

Madi shouted and walked out of the living room, thrashing my shoulder on the way and getting inside her room, shutting the door with a loud thud noise behind her.

That was one hell of a welcome one could get in anywhere for being the first time in somewhere.

Anna Maria huffed, shaking her head in disapproval at Madison’s behavior. I did not know how to react and what to say anymore.

I was really not looking for a welcome with open arms and tears of joy for getting here. But I did not think of getting this kind of welcome either.

“Do not mind her words, child. She is just being childish and holding onto meaningless things.”

Anna Maria said, coming closer to me and petting my head. I nodded in her way. I knew better than to hold back onto her words.

Plus I had mastered the trait of ignoring so it was not really a big of a deal for me.

Anna Maria, later on, took me to the next room which was hers but we would be sharing that room together, and honestly, I had no problem.

I never liked it residing all alone in that enormous room of mine anyways. It was just too big with too many empty spaces.

Since I had no clothes to change into, Anna Maria landed me some of hers from before and I could not be more thankful.

After getting fresh, and clean, I finally settled in Anna’s bed out of tiredness.
