40 Selfish Daughter Fiona ignored her mothers painful grunts for help , choosing rather to sit and stew in her own Sorrow .
The woman should just die , and stop stressing me .
She thought , as she tore another tissue and wiped her running nose .
When Ewan dismissed her earlier in the hospital , she had thought it a joke , she had thought she was dreaming .
She had pinched herself to awaken from the nightmare , yet she had retained the same position , had remained in the reality where Ewan shunned her .
It had never happened before ! He had never shunned her that way in public ! He had even annulled their engagement ! That one tore at Fionas heart the most .
An engagement she had waited for , sought for , killed for , and now sh Ewan himself ? No ! She couldnt take it ! Ewan couldnt do this to her , not after her many labours ! She wouldnt accept his decision ! She just couldnt , no matter what ! Fiona stood up from the sitting room sofa and started pacing .
How could she avert this ? How could she change Ewans mind ? The more she thought about it , the more apprehensive she became .
was being cut away by So when her mothers grunt for help came again , she paused and glared at the staircase leading to the upper room where her mother was kept .
Just die , woman ! Fiona was glad that her father wasnt around .
She didnt know where he had gone , abadoning his precious wife , and she didnt really care .
If he had been around when Sandro had dumped her rudely at the front porch , he would have raised a storm .
Not that Sandro would have cared … Sandro was another person she had added to her list to deal with it , when she finally became Ewans wife , but the dream too had fallen like a pack of cards .
Fiona shook her head .
Her story just couldnt end like that .
No , something had to be done .

40 Selfish Daughter : Right then , she heard the sound of her fathers car coming into the compound .
Quickly , she opened the front door a little , left it like that , and hurried upstairs to her mothers room .
In the dimly lit room where her mother was kept , she held back a hiss of disgust as she saw her mother writhing on the bed like a wounded snake .
When her mother saw her however , the woman stopped writhing and smiled widely , and a tear escaped from her right eye .
You … finally … visited … me ? Fiona nodded meekly .
I heard your painful sounds .
Do you need anything ? She held back from vomiting the next second , when she saw discolored spittle dripping from the right corner of her mothers mouth , which was temporarily misshapened by the disease .
The womans face was like an ugly artwork filled with gray patches ; and she was as skeleton- there was not a single flesh on her body .
Fiona couldnt wait to leave .
I … The woman couldnt speak again .
She pointed , with a shaking finger , at the cabinet where the drugs were kept .
Fiona hurried over to the cabinet , hearing her fathers footsteps .
She wanted to be in her fathers good books , before delivering the bad news to him .
However , when she opened the cabinet , and saw the drugs , she almost fainted out of fright .
The drugs in the cabinet was similar to the one her father had taken yesterday ! Fionas hand clasped her cloth tightly , around her chest region .
Her father had the discase ? Does it mean she has it too ? Fiona shook her head .
She couldnt believe what she was s secing .
Her hands shook as she collected the medicines .
When she turned , she noticed her father watching her .
She hadnt even heard him come in , nor had she heard the doors sound .
The sadness in his eyes told her that he knew of her knowledge about his sickness .
Ill fight it .
Fiona started crying again .
If her father died , how would she survive ? How would she take revenge on Athena ? No , he couldnt die yet ! 40 Selfish Daughter Alfonso sighed weakly , hearing his daughters almost silent sobs .
He walked up to her , and hugged her ….
Or rather he tried , but Fiona backed away .
How is it that you both have the disease ? Is it contagious ? Alfonso , slightly peeved that his only child had treated him like a plague , said nothing at first .
He said nothing until his wife grunted a response .
Fiona didnt understand it , but seeing her father breathe out harshly then , she knew he understood what her mother had just said .
Did the e come with a seperate language for those it afflicted ? We are not actually sure .
They claim it isnt contagious , but Ive seen people get it by means of contact .
You need to return to your house .
Only come here when Athena arrives … This brought Fiona back to her problem .
Theres a problem , Dad .
Alfonsos heart fell .
Had Athena refused to treat them ? His hands quaked , and he stared at his wife in utmost sorrow .
When he noted his wife weeping silently , only evident by the tears streaming past her eyes , he hurried to her side .
Ill beg her , my love .
Ill kneel if I have to … Fiona balled her fists , hearing her fathers words which she thought was pathetic .
Athena has caused this .
She thought , walking to the door .
The whore had made her father be like a dog .
Before she left though , her father called her back .
Where are you going ? You havent told me the problem ? For a second , Fiona thought of running away without giving her father an answer .
She knew how he might react to the news , and she wasnt exactly in the mood for his tantrums .
But she needed his help ….
Ewan cancelled the engagement .
Sandro dropped me off with my bags some minutes ago .
Pin drop silence echoed in the room .
Alfonso , who had sat on his wifes bed to console her , stood up and walked to Fiona , in confusion .
Fiona took two steps back , in fear .
Her mother grunted again .
And she wondered what the woman was talking about .
When she saw calmness descend on her fathers face , she concluded the woman had just 40 Selfish Daughter pleaded her case .
It didnt lessen tte disgust she felt for the latter , but she was glad .
Lets meet in the sitting room … start talking now … Fiona obeyed instantly .
She started with the gifts basket as she and her father left the room .
Fifteen minutes later , Fiona was done narrating her experience , in a way she believed would bring her father to her side .
They were standing in the front porch , each lost in their own thoughts .
She watched her father sigh intermittently , and wondered what he would do next .
What he finally did next , shocked her .
He slapped her , before she could say jack ! Dad … He slapped her again .
His face was a board of fury , and Fiona knew she had really done it this time .
Yet , she hadnt expected a slap ….
You are so selfish ! Get out of my house ! Fiona shook her head Lears flow past her eyes again .
I cant ! Where will I go ? Alfonso glared at her .
Did you know that our stocks has plunged to zero value now ? After our meeting this morning , did you check things out ? She shook her head , aware of the evil foreboding that now clouded her .
Did you know that only Ewans stocks has risen back to almost normal , after the mishap of this morning that even affected Zack .
One of our workers mentioned that he saw Ewan in a restaurant with Athena this morning … reason for the swift change of his stocks status … Fiona kept silent .
She didnt know about that too .
Her father hissed in disgust .
Youre a sorry excuse for a daughter and a wife ! You dont know anything about your fiancé , nor do you know anything about our company .
Of what use are you ? Apart from spending money recklessly ? Fiona gritted her teeth in anger and balled her fists .
What had Ewan offered Athena in exchange for the restoration of his company ? Marriage ? I sent you to plead with her , for the sake of our family and company , and yet you couldnt do such a simple thing .
Now , youve lost your fiancé too .
Alfonso shook his head in unbelief .
Leave here , Fiona .
I dont want to see your face .
