My Wicked Step Mother
Episode 8
Grandma hugged me so tightly as I went running into her arms. Mr John stood at the door and he shook his head. “Yes…who are you?” Sandra said so nàstily as her voice took over the house.
“Will you keep quiet. This is my daughter’s husband house, who are you to treat my grandchild bàdly?” grandma’s voice thundered aggressively.
Sandra suddenly went quiet for some minutes and she walked towards us. “Madame, this is my husband to be’s house and l can act however I want to.
This girl here is a very spoîlt brat and I’m going to teach her to be respectful.” Sandra said as she stood boldly before grandma.
Grandma laughed and she shook her head. “With this attitude of yours, you can never last in this house. Get ready to pack your things and vamoose from this house,” grandma said as she made to tie her wrapper.
I left grandma’s arms and l went behind her. Teddy looked at me with terrîble eyes. He snapped his finger at me and that got Grandma’s attention.
“And who is this one that his snapping his fingers at my grandchild?” grandma said with an àngry voice. Sandra smiled and she went towards her son and she brought him closer to grandma.
“This is my son, and he is now in his new father’s house. Old woman, your daughter is dèad and another woman has come to take her position from her. I’ve always wanted this and I got it.”
I was surprised at what she said, it definitely confirmed my mom’s suspicions, I was really pained. Grandma’s face changed immediately, she was really àngrily.
“Look at the walls, look at how my daughter is so beautiful. Those are her wedding pictures with her husband. A foólish woman like you can never replace such a beautiful soul, never.”
Grandma said as she went tying her wrapper firmly. “Grandma, your beautiful daughter is no more now. She’s the loser and I’m the winner. May she rest in pieces,” Sandra said and she suddenly bursted into laughter.
I looked at Grandma’s eyes, I could see traces of tears in them. Sandra had really gone far, she shouldn’t have said this.
Tarrrrr…a resounding slap landed on Sandra’s face. Grandma gave her another slap almost immediately and she almost went falling to the floor. “Mummmyyy…”Teddy screamed as Sandra held onto her face.
Grandma was ready to give her what she deserved and l stood watching all that was happening. Sandra’s eyes were red already.
She suddenly moved to the wall and she brought down my mom and dad’s wedding picture. She smashed it on the floor and the glass frame went shattering everywhere.
I opened my mouth widely as I couldn’t believe my eyes. She àngrily made for the second picture on the wall, grabbed it and went throwing it on the wall at the other side of the living room.
The picture shattered into pieces on the floor and the next thing I saw was a figure come into the house. The briefcase in my dad’s hands went dropping to the floor as he saw his wedding picture dèstroyed on the floor.
Sandra was totally shocked. Grandma and l stood there watching him. John immediately ran towards him and picked his briefcase from the floor.
“What is going to happen next?” I said in my mind.
