"Ouch! That hurts!" Vee exclaimed as her sister rubbed ointment on her bruises
"Well, you shouldn't have cheated on her with her boyfriend" Rose said continuing to apply the ointment
"But who does she think she is? She's not God So what if I did?"
"You couldn't even talk back to her when she was beating you up and now you're all tough and full of mouth?"
"I'll have to team up with Deji and the others to teach that bitch a lesson,"
"Are you crazy? She beat up Deji and Daniel She even stripped them naked in public Do you really think you can take her on?"
"I'm not scared I can take her"
"You seem to forget that you've never even won a fight before Maybe you should just stay out of this So you'd be wise to stay out of this I'm not kidding, Vee" Rose said as she pressed the ointment into Vee's bruises making her wince in pain
Vee winced again as Rose continued to apply the ointment She wanted to fight back to tell Rose to stop but the pain was so intense that she couldn't speak

"Great another one gone" Bella said, shaking her head. "And the rest of them won't even enter his room anymore Why don't you just stop looking for maids? It's clearly not working out"
"I don't need your opinion Bella" Mike replied
"But I'm your fiancée, so I have every right to talk about this"

Emma stood in front of the mirror admiring her reflection She was wearing a pink top a red skirt, and brown shoes, all topped off with a yellow bag "I'm ready, sister!" she called out
Favor heard her and rushed to the bedroom "Emma, are you crazy?" she gasped
"She's nuts" Lura chimed in from the other room
"Lura I'm older than you Show some respect" she yelled
"Take a look at yourself Emma You look like a madwoman from Yaba Left People will think they just released you from the psychiatric hospital" Lura said a wicked grin on her face
Emma rushed towards Lura intent on smacking her but Favour intervened holding her back "Lura, that's enough. You're being a brat And Emma stop acting like a child. You're both old enough to know better"
Ella exhaled deeply calming herself
"If you don't change into something decent you're not coming with me to the city "
Emma sighed defeated She trudged back into her room muttering under her breath "Fine."
A few minutes later, Emma re emerged wearing a black shirt and a white top "How's this?" she asked Favour
"That's better" Favour said giving Emma an approving nod. "Let's go now."
"But I need to say goodbye to my friends"
"I'm sorry but we don't have all day to do that We're already running late Lura please tell Mami that we've left already"
Lura nodded

In the next room Drake could be heard screaming and shouting
Bella rushed to the door "Mike you have to stop this right now!" she yelled
"What do you expect me to do?" Mike asked
"Anything! Do something!" Bella yelled
Just then, the door opened and Favour and Emma entered the room
"Oh, you're here She must be the new maid right?" he asked pointing to Emma
Drake's noise was beginning to become unbearable His screams and shouts were piercing the air "I think it's the child who's shouting Can I see him?"
"Child? What child?" Bella asked staring at Emma in confusion
Emma rolled her eyes
"Wow she's got attitude" bella said
"Of course you can see him" Mike said ignoring Bella's protests "Follow me"
"Mike we don't even know her that well You can't just let her see..." Bella started but Emma cut her
"Please let me do my job It seems like you and your family really need a maid urgently"
"Shut up" Favour hissed slapping Ella on the arm
"That's fine, Bella Let's just let her do her job I've already hired her after all" Mike said before leading Emma out of the room As they walked away Emma stuck her tongue out at Bella
"Here we are" Mike said stopping in front of a door "This is his room"
"Can I get a cane or something?" Ella asked looking around "Oh, don't worry I have a belt here."
"What do you need that for?"
"you can go now I'll take care of him," she said, pushing the door open The room was dark and as soon as she stepped inside Drake's screams stopped
"Hey kid why are you disturbing everyone?" Emma said stepping closer to the bed"Why are you shouting?"
"Did you just call me a kid? Are you crazy?" Drake snapped
"You're being rude kid Don't talk to me like that Now open the window and calm down It's dark in here and I can't even see your face"
"Why would I let you see my face you stupid bitch!" Drake yelled throwing an apple at her hitting her on the head
"Wow that's some next level crazy behavior You know what no matter how dark this room is I'm going to find you and beat you I mean I'm going to knock some sense into your head" she said pulling a long belt from her pocket
"You wouldn't dare!" Drake yelled
"Watch me!" Emma said raising the belt
