In chapter 5, Stephen was tongue lashed by Mrs Becky. So chapter 10 explains how he felt afterwards. ******************************** "We are infected by our own misunderstanding of how our mind works" **************************** Stephen stood in the midst of plates, glasses and kitchen wares that have all been scattered by him.
His eyes are red with anger and his hand clenched. He had never been tongue lashed by any human.
"Who the hell does she think he is?"he barks not talking to any one.
"Sir your food is ready" the maid informs him timidly because she was aware of how he behaved whenever he was pissed. Whenever he was pissed, he behaves like a mad man.
"My food hun?"He asked angrily as he glared at her.
"Yes sir' she replies in a voice that seems strange even to her.
Apparently, she is one of those who fears Stephano because she knew that daring him or making him angry meant putting her job at stake because he was her young master.
"Sir you've broken lots of plates. Are you ok?" she says with fear.
"You are stupid. How dare you ask if I'm ok? Isn't all these fucking plates owned by my father? You think my father is a failure like yours?" he barks.
"I'm sorry sir. Please come to the dinning to eat your food she begged because she knew that his parents would not be happy that he hadn't eaten.
"Get the fuck out of my sight before I strangle the life out of you? You have no right to tell me what to do" he said as he angrily pushed one more plate from the cupboard.
"Sir pls I need clean up this mess" she beg.
"Don't you ever call whatever I do a mess? Do you hear me?" He asked as he grabbed her my the neck strongly.
At first the tears dropped bit by bit before it started rushing down her cheek in a fast pace. He was choking her and she couldn't even free herself from his grasp.
"I'm sorry" she managed to say as he pushed her away from him.
"Get the hell out of here. To hell with your food!"He barks as she runs away like a frightened little mouse.
"How dare she? Who the hell does she think she is?"He say as he breaks two plates angrily.
"Stephano what's the problem? Mr Richard(his father) ask eyes darting around the kitchen.
"Dad you're back. Dad your only child have been insulted by a worthless woman. She called me useless. She called me useless" Stephano says wiping beads of sweats off his face.
"Who would dare insult Stephen Alexander the heir to Alexander oil groups of company, The heir to Alexander automobile?"Mr Richard said voice laced with anger.
"Dad a worthless woman in form of a teacher insulted me" Stephen replies with contempt.
"Son is that why you are this angry? Why don't you tell me the name of the vagabond while I give a call to your school?" Mr Richard coax.
"Dad her name is Becky" Stephen replied still upset.
"What's her surname?"Mr Richard asked.
"Her surname is Peters. Becky Peters."
"What?" Mr Richard gasped looking nervous.

"What dad? Do you know her?" Stephen ask confused by his father's facial expression.
"Sorry son I can't do anything about that. I can't have her sacked" Mr Richard replies looking down.
"You can't do what?'Stephano ask confused.
"I can't have her sacked. I'm sorry I've failed you. Tell me another person and I promise to have him/ her sacked" Mr Richard pleads.
"Dad is there something you are not telling me?" Stephano askanger filled in his voice.
"Son I'm hiding nothing from you. The thing is that I can't sack her" Mr Richard retorts.
"Oh really! You had Mr Kingsley sacked, Mrs Joyce sacked and some other teachers but you can't sack her?" he ask angrily laying more emphasis when he said 'her'.
"No I can't" Mr Richard replies as he scurried into his bedroom.
"I guess something is going on Stephen soliloquised and I guess that that mystery doesn't feel good" he said as he pierces himself with a piece of broken glass allowing blood to gush freely from his wounds. **** Adelaide sit down on her bed as she cried. "My life is so cursed. I always have a reason to cry everyday' she mutters as she cries into her pillow.
She had just being sacked from one of her work place because of some misunderstanding. The kid she baby-sitted got sick of food poisoning and the mother of the kid believed that she was the cause of the food poisoning because of he poor personal hygiene.
Whereas the kid got sick because Adelaide gave him a cereal that was expired unknown to her. She tried explaining to the mother of the kid but she vehemently refused to listen. She paid Adelaide her wage and sent her away. Adelaide was glad that the woman gave her the money but she was sad because that was a kid she baby sitted frequently and she had just lost her major source of income.
She didn't know why people always had misconception about her and doubted her.
She was gradually getting tired of life.
She wished to end her life but she didn't have the courage to do so.
She was living with the hope that he prince charming would come looking g for her one day and she would no longer have troubles and would live happily ever after.
But right now, it seemed like an impossible thing. She decides that she is going to sleep. Perhaps her broken heart would be fixed a little by the time she wakes up.
