Author pov

Octavia eyes were fixed on granny and same with Chloe

In the darkness of the room with only the table lamp on.

“it all begins twenty years…. ” Granny repeated again making Chloe gulping down

“is it twenty years ago or twenty two years ago”chloe said

“if I should tell you from twenty two years ago…. It’s gonna be a long story” Granny said and they both nodded

“it all begins twenty years ago…. “Granny repeated

“I hate scary stories….. You’re making this one sounds like one” Chloe muttered and rolled her eyes

“stop talking and let me speak young lady…. “Granny said

“I don’t wanna shed any tears, I’m outta here ” Chloe said wanting to get up but Octavia held her back

“Calm down pinky , this stubbornness doesn’t suit you. Don’t worry, I will be here to cuddle you” Octavia said and Chloe rolled her eyes again

“says by crycry baby…. “Chloe winked

“And I told you to stop talking! ” Granny said

“That’s not fair…. Crycry baby spoke but you didn’t scold her ” Chloe said pouting her mouth out

Octavia bite on her lower lip so she wouldn’t burst out laughing

“She’s stern” Chloe mumbled under her breath

“she’s a jealous pinky… Come here let’s big sister give you some cuddling ….” Octavia said and Chloe rolled her eyes

“you might be my twin sister but I came out first….. So I’m the senior here not you”Chloe

“it’s obvious I’m the senior…… Granny tell her I’m the senior ” Octavia said and Granny smile loving the way she called her Granny

“you two should stop fighting and let me speak….. “Granny uttered and they both swallowed hard

“come here” Octavia said and pulled Chloe to herself

Chloe gasped but later relaxed on her shoulders

“Twenty two years ago… You both haven’t been born” Granny said and something cold ran through Octavia spine

“I’m scared of what I’m gonna find out. What if it’s something evil ” Chloe whispered in Chloe ears

“says who want to cuddle me” Chloe whispered back

“You’re bad, shut up ” Octavia said and Chloe smirked

After sitting in a moment of silence, Granny spoke up

“I was with you mum and as usual she was crying again ” Granny said

Chloe and Octavia stared at her squirting their cute eyes

“Now this is what I was scared of” Chloe whispered

“Well, as you can see, it’s just a story … Stop being paranoid ” Octavia trailed off.

Chloe grip on the Octavia subconsciously tightened, .

“Go on, we are listening granny, crycry baby just stay here quietly and give me emotional support if it’s needed” she said

Octavia lips subconsciously quirked up in a weak smile, she kissed Chloe back hand in return.

I smiled at them a few more moments, before continuing with the story

“stop cry Bennett….. You are gonna bear your own children soon ” Granny said

“When mum…. Is it when my husband gets tired of me…. Five good years of marriage without a child to show for it” Bennett (Octavia and Chloe mum) said and sniffed

“people get barren but you still have chances of giving birth…. You are gonna give birth too, people give birth after twenty years of marriage too” Granny said

“mum I don’t want that as my story…. My husband is gonna get tired of me…. He wouldn’t be made head of elders and I can’t give the young master a betrothed ” she muttered and granny squeezed her hand

“He’s my son and he’s never gonna get tired of you….. He loves you…very much” Granny said and hugged her tighter

“you gonna give birth…. It’s just a matter of time ” Granny said

Just then, Mr Armstrong walked down from the stairs…. His face dropped seeing his wife in tears

“Honey…. I told you to stop crying already ” he said after covering the space between them

“I just can’t help it…. “she muttered

“look here…… ” Mr Armstrong said taking her from Granny and lifted her on his lap

He held her face and cuddled them softly

“I love you Bennett…. We will be together till death do us apart…… Even if you don’t bear me a child…. It doesn’t matter…. all that matters is you by my side” he said

“What about your post…. are you gonna throw it away…. then the little boy will grow up and become a master without a betroth” she said

“shhhhhhhh….. I’m ready to drop the post because of you…. I love you baby…. Please stop crying “he said and wiped her tears

He kissed her lip and Granny coughed

“I’m still here….. You both should do that in your room”Granny uttered and they both chuckled

“ouch….! Drop me” Bennett yelled as she was been pulled up by Mr Armstrong

She giggled and wrapped her legs around his waist

“you two won’t be the end of me “Granny said getting up to avoid seeing their silliness

The door bell rang interrupting them as they snob on each other lip

“The maid should get that” Mr Armstrong yelled after breaking the kiss

“OK sir” A maid replied and he returned back kissing his wife

“move away…. I need to see my future husband ” They could hear some noises

“stop ma’am…. Don’t caused a havoc here…. Do you have an appointment with Mr appointment ” They heard more noises

“you fool… Immediately I become his wife… I will kill you first”They kept hearing more and more voice

Bennett pulled out of the kiss and stared at her husband face

“baby let’s go check who’s at the door”Mrs Bennett said

“The maid and guards will handle it “he said slamming his lip on her

“you fool. Move away ” They heard a loud scream

Mrs Bennett jumped down from Mr Armstrong and frowned

“I’m going to check “She whispered

“let’s go together “Mr Armstrong said wrapping his hand around his wife waist

She shivered at his touch as they walked to the door

They got to the door and met a woman trying to force her way in

“you bunch of twerp ” she yelled

“Please ma’am you’re creating a scene here” The maid said

“let her in” Mrs Bennett said from afar. The door opened widely

Mrs Bennett could see a woman walking in with a little girl in her hand

She walked up to Mrs Bennett and scoffed

“I’m Emmet, your husband mistress”She said extending her hand out for an handshake

Mrs Bennett squeezed her eyebrows. She slowly turned to her husband and saw his eyes widened and obviously he was in shock

“And here beside me is his two years old daughter, Mabel. Well…. we have come to stay” Emmett said

“common Mabel, say hello to dadda! “Emmett said

A tears gestured down from Mrs Bennett and she staggered holding her chest

Mr Armstrong held her obviously knowing she was gonna fall

“you…. you… Cheat on me ” She mumbled as more tears flows from her eyes

“C’mon honey….. It’s not what you think…. It’s all a mistake “he said

“A mistake…thats what you called it…….you slept with me more than three times”Emmett ranted

“I’m here to stay….i can’t raise Mabel alone…. It’s best you leave since you are barren.. “She blurted out

“Emmett…!!”Mr Armstrong yelled

“I can’t take this….. ” Bennett said rushing out…
