episode 10
Isadora’s side of the story continues from the last
scene of the previous episode
I quickly fell on my knees as tears poured down
freely from my eyes. I knew there wasn’t any
explanation that could change my situation. The whole
thing appeared as a great shock to me.
‘’please mummy I can’t tell how the Jewelries got to
my bag. I’m innocent, please believe me’’ I begged
with great energy, annoying Val’s mum further with
my weak defense.
‘’like seriously, this is all you have to say huh?. You
are so shameless. I never knew I brought in a thief
into my house. Gosh’’ the old woman breathed with
disgust.
‘’please believe me’’ I stammered.
‘’shut up!, pack your things and leave this minute’’
she quickly barked, drawing out a big wail of despair
from me. ‘’Where do I go to?, where do I turn to?’’
I wondered with a wounded heart, a wounded spirit.
Surprisingly Martha knelt beside me.
‘’please mummy I’m equally surprised but I doubt if
it was really Isadora that took the jewelries. It’s so
strange. She just got to this town and this house. I
don’t have any explanation for this but don’t throw
her out like that. I beg of you’’ she quickly begged
on my behalf, getting me more confused because I
really thought she was behind it all.
‘’just listen to yourself Martha?. Who then is behind
the theft? Don’t tell me it’s an evil spirit’’ the old
woman screamed, shaking her head.
‘’I want you to leave my house right now Isadora. I
can’t accommodate a thief here’’ she added and
walked away furiously, leaving Martha and I all
alone.
‘’what came over you Isadora?, stealing can’t solve
your financial situation. See what you have done to
yourself’’ Martha asked with concern, drawing closer
to hold me.
‘’believe me Martha I didn’t steal anything. I don’t
know how they got to my bag. I don’t know a single
thing about jewelries. Who will i even sell them to? I
don’t know anyone in this town. I know I sound weird
but it’s the truth. Anyway I better leave and head
back to the streets where I belong’’ I breathed with
great pain.
‘’let me go and talk to madam. I will strongly beg
her on your behalf and take responsibility. I can’t
allow you to leave like that’’ she surprisingly assured
me, smiled and headed to the sitting room while I
slowly packed up my things.
Ten minutes later, I slowly headed to the sitting
room with my bag and a broken spirit. Yes I was
totally at lost. I really didn’t know what to make of
my poor life anymore. No matter how hard I tried I
always ended up badly. I felt like committing
suicide.
On getting to the sitting room, I saw Val’s mum and
Martha together. I swallowed hard and breathed
deeply. I felt so ashamed of the situation I found
myself.
‘’I’m leaving ma but I still swear that I didn’t steal
your things. I know it sounds weird, even to me’’ I
stammered, bit my lips and headed towards the main
door.
‘’wait’’ I suddenly heard the old woman mutter,
stopping me with her command. I seized my breath
as my heart froze.
‘’you can stay. Martha seriously interceded for you
and from now onwards she will watch you closely and
take responsibility for anything that happens
afterwards’’ she softly added, giving me great hope.
‘’I believe in second chances and I just gave you one.
Don’t ruin it’’ she breathed while I quickly rushed to
her, kneeling by her side.
‘’thank you ma. You are truly a mother’’ I breathed
with all my energy while Martha stared at me with
tears in her eyes. I needed no telling I had found a
sister in her. I equally owed the poor girl an apology
for thinking she was behind my predicament but
then if she wasn’t who then tried to set me up?

Jane’s side of the story continues
I waited for two hours after my first report to Val’s
mum before calling her back to know the situation of
things. I left Val all alone in the room and headed
all the way down to the Lobby to make the phone
call.
‘’yes I found your missing Jewries and equally some
of mine in the new girl’s bag. I still find it hard to
believe that such a lovely innocent looking girl is a
thief’’ the old woman said to me while I breathed
with great satisfaction.
‘’have you thrown the thief out of the house?’’ I
asked curiously, trying hard to hide my excitement.
‘’ I initially asked her out the house but later
changed my mind. She’s staying. I gave her a second
chance’’ she replied, stunning me with her reply. I
couldn’t believe it. I strongly felt like scolding her.
‘’but why?, it’s not cool at all. You have to kick her
out mummy. Kick her out immediately’’ I screamed.
‘’I’m sorry but I can’t go back on my word. She’s
staying’’ she concluded and ended the call, leaving
me fuming with great anger.
‘’silly old woman’’ I barked and dialed Charles’s
number. Of course the old woman’s decision ruined
everything.
‘’Change of plan Charles. This time I want the girl
kidnapped from the house’’ I ordered without
thinking.
‘’calm down baby, calm down. What’s wrong?’’
Charles asked in his usual unserious manner.
‘’’I need the girl kidnapped as soon as possible
Charles. Do you hear me Charles?’’ I screamed over
the phone but before he could acknowledge my
request, I felt someone’s presence behind me.
‘’who is Charles?’’ I heard Val’s voice from behind,
leaving me cold with fright and rage at the same
time. I couldn’t believe he tracked me down to the
hotel lobby. I bit my lips as I turned to face him,
praying he didn’t hear much.
‘’I asked who the hell is Charles?’’ he demanded once
again as we stared at each other.
