Chapter 4: A toast

As she passed the threshold, she heard her mom Ebele Johnson scolding her kids “You successfully hacked into someone's private chat and exposed her secret affairs?” She scolded.

“We're sorry, grandma, she's a bad woman. She's also mean” Nathan replied, gazing down and fondling with his fingers.

“Fine. You are sorry but her engagement has been called off. She'd been with this guy a few years already” Ebele Johnson cautioned.

The two boys didn't say anything else. They simply bowed their heads showing total remorse for their deed. They saw their mummy's diary and saw where she wrote her name.

She tried to murder their mommy. And at the time, she was pregnant. But who was she pregnant with back then? Did she give birth to the baby? Well, whatever.

Nathaniel raised his head and saw their mom came in. He tucked on his brother and quietly they slipped away from the sitting room unnoticed.

“Hi mommy, are the kids at it again?” Isabella asked, sitting leisurely on the sofa. Now she has the younger version of Ebele Johnson's looks.

After she recovered in the hospital, Ebele Johnson and her husband brought her home, alongside her babies. She was wearing a mask all through.

She looked horrible with those deep scars on her face. She had only glanced at herself in the mirror once but ended up smashing the vanity mirror in rage.

She's not the beautiful woman she used to be. She'd become a shadow of herself. The couple felt pity for her and opted for a surgery for her.

They were unhappy that she had to mask her face, feed her babies and return to her room sobbing all day.

Her life drone in self pity until one night, Ebele and her husband invited her for a talk. They told her she would be travelling out of Florida to find a solution to her scared face.

She didn't know how to thank them enough, so she sobbed and hugged them both. They do not have a child of their own, hence they offered an adoption and Isabella agreed.

From that on, she ceased to be Isabella Manor. That name went silent and dead to her as she took the identity of Fiona Johnson, the only child of Mr James and Ebele Johnson.

When she was presented with different facial looks, she rejected them all. She was going to go through a reconstructive surgery and needed to choose the face she would like to open her eyes to.

She couldn't find a better option than choosing Ebele Johnson's looks. “I want to open my eyes to find myself looking exactly like my mother,Ebele Johnson”

That day, Ebele found no words to express her joy. She accepted her and her husband as her parents and now, chooses to take her looks. Fate has chosen to be fair to her, in her later days.

Now, the two women look perfectly like a mother and daughter pair. Fiona is a younger version of Ebele. And since the older woman was one of the most beautiful women in her youthful days, Fiona Johnson has the looks of a perfect prettiness.

“Yes, Fiona. Can you imagine what these boys did? They hacked into Jeniva Manor's social media contacts and monitored her conversation.

They exposed her illicit affairs and now, her engagement to Alex Foster had been called off. Just exactly how, will I punish them” Ebele cringed.

Rather than look unhappy at her kids actions, Fiona stood up and said “We need to make a toast to this. This is the best thing that has happened to the Manor's family in a long time”

She went to the wine cellar and poured them both glasses of wine, came over, shoved it into her mother's hand since she was being reluctant and raised her glass “to more ruin, to more downfall to the Manor's family”

She clicked her glasses with her mom's and swigged her glass of wine in five gulps. She placed her glass down and stared at her mother with an excited grin “I want more and worse things than this to happen to the Manors so as to please my aching heart” she mumbled.

Ebele stared at her daughter. For the past five years, Fiona is one of the sweetest souls she'd known. Why is she happy that such a thing befell an A-list model?

She placed her glass of wine down and said “Why are you happy that something unfortunate happened to a woman like you,Fiona? That woman may lose her career and her relationship for sure. And thanks to my grandsons”

“Jeniva Manor deserves it, mother. And much more than that, she deserves worse things happening to her. She's not a pure woman as she made all of her fans think her to be” Fiona Johnson replied.

Ebele glared at her daughter and shook her head. She sat down, Crossed her legs and said “I think there are things you need to tell me, I'm listening dear” she stuttered, staring at her daughter.

“Sure. I was going to tell dad one of these days. But I guess, I will have to just tell you how Jeniva Manor's parents murdered my parents and Jeniva herself attempted to murder me but I got rescued by you…”
