"Little rice ball, get your ass down here let\'s go," Joanna shouted, anger evident in her voice.

She strolled to the couch and sat with her legs crossed. She ignored the look on her father\'s face which was as if he was staring at a stranger.

"Little...," She paused midway when she heard his hurried footsteps approaching the stairs.

"I am here Big Sis," He announced and raced down the stairs.

He paused just beside where his father stood at the spot Joanna left him.

"Dad," Anthony called. The corner of his lips lifted to form a broad smile.

His sweet smile was enough to wash away the man\'s anger.

"I can see you are set for school," He muttered. He raised his hand and caressed Anthony\'s smiling face.

"Be a good boy that you have always been ok," He admonished, his hand still moving on Anthony\'s face.

"Hmm..," Anthony shook his head positively. He left his father and moved to where Joanna now stood in front of the huge entrance.

After he got to where she stood, Joanna held his hand and led him out.

"Big Sis, is Brother Amos driving us to school today?" Mr Anderson heard his boy\'s happy chatter although they were long out of sight.

"No, your driver will drop us off at school," She replied.

Mr Anderson\'s focus was still on the brown door his children walked out of not long ago when Laura who was on the phone walked into the sitting room.

"Dad...," Laura saluted the man whose focus has now shifted to her. She returned to the call she was making immediately.

"Ok, I will be expecting you girls in a few minutes. Don\'t forget you can\'t be even a second late ok?" Laura commanded in a stern voice for the one on the other end to know that she was dead serious.

"I still have a few things to go over. See you in a few minutes," Laura said and disconnected the call.

She was surprised when her eyes went to the direction her father stood and realised that he was still gazing at her.

The first thing she did was uncross her legs and sit properly.

"What is wrong, Dad?" Laura asked.

"Mum is just in the dining," She informed him and turned her face to the direction she came from.

"Do you want me to call her for you...,"

"You and your sister go to the same school so that means you must know...,"

"Although we attend the same university, we hardly run into each other. I bet she is scared of me that is why she always avoids wherever I go," Laura lied.

She leaned forward and dropped her cell phone on the table.

Actually, the truth was, she avoided Joanna and not the other way around.

After the poisoning incident that made her become a thing of ridicule on campus, she has been avoiding Joanna.

Since she wasn\'t fully aware of what her devilish stepsister was capable of, she made up her mind not to cross her path. At least for now.

"Even though you don\'t run into each other frequently I am sure you must know the identity of the man she hangs out with right?" Mr Anderson quizzed.

He strolled to where she sat.

[Seeing how Dad asked me about the man she hangs out with, I guess he has decided to do something about her... It\'s my luck that he choose to ask me this stuff so why don\'t I take this opportunity and deal a huge blow on that proud fool]

A smug smile plastered on Laura\'s face as she stared at the phone in front of her.

[She had the guts to threaten me using Rafael, it\'s time to give her a taste of her own medicine...]

"I just asked you a simple question so why are you in deep thoughts, Laura," Mr Anderson growled, his gaze focused on his absentminded daughter\'s face.

"She hangs out with a bunch of men daily...," Laura paused to make sure her father assimilated her words.

"I was thinking of which of them exactly you were referring to since they are just too many," Laura added.

She deliberately emphasized TOO MANY to make sure her aim was achieved.

"Did you just say she hangs out with many men?" Mr Anderson asked, his eyes widened.

"She has proved to be her mother\'s daughter after all, I am not surprised one bit," Laura replied while playing with her polished red nails.

"How on Earth did she become this way...," Mr Anderson mumbled.

Absent-mindedly, he turned to walk away.

Since this wasn\'t the outcome she wanted Laura\'s eyebrows creased. She cracked her brain and tried to come up with ways to turn the table around.

"Although she hangs out with numerous men, I know the identity of the one who often picks her up at night," Laura threw the bait and patiently waited for her father to bite on it.

Her heart leapt up for joy when her father turned and glanced at her.

She didn\'t wait for him to ask a question and immediately jumped to it.

"His name is Amos Leonard. Although he claimed to be from this Kingdom none knows anything about him. It\'s as if he fell from the sky one day and assumed his identity...,"

"Are you trying to tell me that your sister is following someone whose identity is not certain?" He demanded, his tone fierce.

[Why the hell does Dad keep referring to that bitch as my sister... How do I tell him that I have never had a sister like her all my life?]

Laura faked a smile despite being furious.

If it were her mother, grandma or anyone else she was chatting with, she wouldn\'t have hesitated to correct the person but this is her father after all.

She could misbehave in front of anyone else but not in his presence.

"Didn\'t anyone ever tell her that it\'s dangerous to hang out with someone of unknown origin?" He mumbled the hand by his side clasped.

"I tried to warn her about it but Dad would you believe it if I told you that she almost punched me in the eye for not minding my business?" Laura lied, her hand caressing her right hand.
