CHAPTER 27- THE DEBT

    Isabe leaving the house with Vincent only made Angel’s heart leap for joy, as the thought of Timothy fully bing hers overwhelmed her, she had so much wished to be betrothed to him instead of her sister, and with Isabe out of the way, Timothy was now hers alone.


    As Angel daydreamed of her wedding to Timothy and living happily ever after, she hummed to her favorite song oblivious to her surroundings.


    Why Mary on the other was so vexed about this sudden advancement, she didn’t expect Isabe to be this lucky with men after all she had tried to make sure Angel took the spotlight, but that was not the problem.


    As Angel returned from her unending daydream, she turned to face her mother who was lost in thought.


    Angel could feel the unease that was radiating through her mother’s eyes and then it dawned on her, that Isabe was the luckier one, getting married to someone as influential and rich as Vincent Storm would be the dream of every beautifuldy in the country.


    “But why Isabe?” she muttered to herself in a subtle voice as she thought hard about all the endless and secret fights she had engaged in just to push Isabe away from Timothy and make sure she was better than her.


    but Isabe had ended up with no other than Vincent but deep down Angel was still happy she would finally get married to Timothy whom she had always wanted.


    “I am finally getting married to Timothy,” Angel announced happily, waiting for her mother’s approval, but Mary only let out a weak smile.


    “What’s wrong Mother? you don’t look happy, I thought you would be happy for me since Isabe was finally out of the way to my happiness,” she acknowledged her voice sharp and firm,ced with disappointment.


    “I am happy for you, my dear angel.” she confirmed with a warm smile as she tried to conceal her worries, “But I am worried about Isabe’s marriage to Vincent,” she confessed her voice suddenly wavering as she looked at Angel with concern.


    “What is it, mother?” Angel asked with a calm voice filled with the weight of the sudden concern that had enveloped it. “But I thought you would be happy Isabe would finally be out of our lives,” Angel said wondering the reasons for her mother’s concern.


    “I thought I would but I’m not,” Mary confirmed her voice low and palpable, she had looked forward to Isabe getting off the way for an Angel to be happy but this was not the feeling she had expected especially with Isabe getting married to someone has popr as Vincent storm


    “But why is that mother?” Angel asked her voice low and steady, she knew something was wrong as her mother wasn’t the type to get easily emotional over trivial things.


    “We are in trouble!” she finally let out in a low strident voice clenching her fist to the thought. “Mrs. White called yesterday to tell me about Don Fernando’s proposal to marry Isabe after ten years of working with the whites,” she announced turning to Angel who was taken aback.


    “D- Don Fernando, marriage, Isabe, how?” Angel eximed her voice wavering from the effect of new information she had heard. “Do you mean the deadly Don Fernando?” she asked still unable to believe her mother.


    “Yes! The popr Don Fernando the terrorist that everyone is scared of,” Mary replied her voice rming and palpable, hearing the angel call out his name made Mary more conscious of the doom that was going to befall them if the marriage between Isabe and Vincent came to pass.All content ?

    “But why would you agree to have a deal with a man as deadly as Don Fernando?” Angel questioned her voice slightly increasing in tone, she was already getting agitated by the thought of the consequences of what her mother had signed for.


    “No, I didn’t, but Mrs white had already agreed and informed me about this just  yesterday and when I thought Isabe would be avable by then, she invited us to her wedding.” Mary proimed her voice wavering with anger and anxiety afraid of the uncertainty of the oue.


    “What! Why would Mrs white agree to something that important without consenting to you first?” she queried her voice increasing in anger, at the revtion of Mrs white’s engagement in their present situation.


    Angel had never really liked the white family especially Mrs white as she had always looked down on her and never failed topare her to Isabe which made her always feel useless.


    “You always talk like a child, we are indebted to them and they have rights over our lives remember!,” Mary scolded with a stringed voice as she nced Angel a disapproving look, she knew Ang had never liked Mrs white, especially with the way she had never seen anything good about an angel.


    “I’m sorry Mother,” the Angel replied, quickly apologizing for her behavior,  she knew this wasn’t the time to be unnecessarily emotional about Mrs white.


    And Angel knew better than to be on her mother’s bad side. “But Mrs White went too far!” she concluded in a calm and calcting tone, as she was being conscious of her mother’s emotion.


    “That is not what is important right now!” Mary ordered, her voice sharp and full of seriousness she knew they had toe up with something fast if she still wanted her life and that of the angel to be spared.


    “What do you n we do?” Angel asked her voiceced with concern and seriousness as she waited patiently for her mother’s reply, she knew it would not be possible to talk Isabe out of her marriage to Vincent, especially with the fact that their mother had long lost her grip on Isabe.


    “We have to stop Isabe from getting married to Vincent!” Mary announced with a Stern voice, she didn’t know how possible it was but she didn’t have a choice.


    “What!” Angel Eximed her voice echoing with sarcasm as she let out a subtleughter, she just couldn’t help but find what her mother had just said amusing.


    “We are in trouble and you still find time to be amused,” Mary reprimanded Angel, her tone harsh and dismissive.


    “I don’t think you can stop a celebrity wedding especially not the one of Vincent Storm,” Angel confirmed with a more serious tone as she tried to gain herposure, she didn’t mean tough at mothers but she just found it unrealistic and amusing.


    “I presume you now think you know better than me!” Angel’s mother fumed at her annoyed by her nonchnt attitude, they had something serious at hand and all she could add was her usual stupid character.


    Mary had always known Angel was very slow in putting good ns in ce or taking action but her love for Angel had made Mary always have her back even when she knew Isabe was smarter than her


    “I didn’t mean to disrespect your mother but it would be impossible to get Vincent into changing his mind now, especially as the wedding is so close,” Angel exined in a calm and apologetic tone, she wanted to show her mother her useful she was.


    “But we can’t just sit and do nothing,” Mary argued her voice perplexed with worries, Isabe getting married to Vincent meant trouble for her and Angel.


    “So what do you intend we do about this?” Angel asked as she waited for her mother’s reply, she knew the only way to separate Isabe from Vincent was to get something against Isabe.


    “I think we should let Mrs white know about Isabe getting married,” Angel suggested as she looked at her mother for confirmation.


    Mary had earlier thought about telling Mrs white but she feared Mrs white using her of failing to control Isabe she had assured Mrs white Isabe was going to marry Don Fernando, there was no way she could know about Isabe’s ns to get married to Vincent.


    “I don’t think we should let Mr and Mrs. White know about this for now,”  Mary replied in a subtle tone evident in her frustration.


    “But why?” Angel asked her voice mixed with concern and seriousness, best to her they were in a better position in putting a stop to Isabe’s especially because they were in the movie industry and they had control over her.


    ” I think we just have it slide for now, it’s not yet time for Don Fernando to take Isabe as his wife,” Mary said her words filled with boldness, she was confident in getting Isabe ready by then.


    “Are you sure?” Angel asked now surprised by her mother’s boldness, “Don’t tell me you n on doing something to Vincent? ” she asked curious to know what her mother was nning.


    “Not for now, but will make sure Vincent leaves Isabe for Don Fernando!” Mary announced with a mischievous smile
