Mistaken Revenge
Episode 1
ashes to ashes...dust to dust..
mia was in a daze...could anyone please wake me up from this nightmare?!
mia
dad..please don't leave me
the burial was finally over...mia had to live with her aunt because the bank sized all her father's properties.
mia
aunty, thank you for letting me live with you
Aunty
and who told you I am happy about that?!
mia
aunty? why...I thought you cared about me so much
Aunty
hmm...I only cared about what you could offer...now you are so poor...you are useless to me.
Aunty
you better wipe that tears off your face and go do all the chores around the house... I will not feed you for free
then and there, mia decided to leave her Aunty's house once she turns 18 in 3months
Aunty
go to the room under the staircase and change out of your mourning clothes and get to work!
mia
it might not be as big as my old room, but its neat
the reason why...
praise
mia! am so sorry.. I couldn't make it for the funeral... am sorry.
mia
I understand. I miss you so much. when will you be back?
praise
Tomorrow.. and I will be coming to live with you until your birthday!! are you happy?
mia
am so happy...
but can you believe none of our so called friends called me? they just abandoned me ...it breaks my heart that I once called them my friends
praise
f...k them!! they just wanted to be your friend when you were the only daughter of Chief Charles ...
praise
but you don't worry.. you have me
mia
thank you praise.... see you soon
mia broke down in tears as she recalls how all her friends abandoned her when they heard her father went bankrupt. at first she thought she misunderstood them, but eventually they made it obvious and avoided her like a plague
only praise stood by her side.
thank God she will be back tomorrow. she is a very lively and carefree person.. fun loving ...
mia
am so tired and hungry after doing all the household chores.. let me see if dinner is ready.
mia walked out of the room and went straight to the kitchen... wow...so much food
mia waited for everyone to get there...she was about to sit for dinner when someone pulled her back
Aunty
and what do you think you are doing?!!!
mia
I wanted to sit for dinner..
Aunty
how dare you? do you think you have the right to sit on the Sam table as we do? no!
Aunty
go eat with the servants.
mia felt terrible... is this how life is? people gets treated based on their wealth...including your own family. no problem. I will raise again...
mia
you are finally here!! am so happy
praise
I missed you too mia..
Aunty
what's the meaning of this? who gave you permission to bring your friend here?
praise
I know your aunt very well .. she loves money above all
praise
I will pay rent per day for my stay here...
Aunty
well then ... no problem. feel free
mia
pftt ...wow... praise you really do know her weak point
praise
forget her... where is your room? I am exhausted
praise
what!!! is this where that b---h put you? wait here...I will teach her a lesson
mia
noo.... please don't be violent OK ?
praise
but how can I stand her bullying you like this?! your father paid for this house she is living in right now. even her boutique was from your father.
mia
its OK... I will be fine. its not that bad
praise walked out of the room and paid aunty Gina 50000 naira for a change of room for both herself and praise. it didn't take long for them to relocate to a bigger room which also had a bathroom
aunty Gina lives with her husband and son...they are both out of town but will return the next day
Aunty
this is your new room.... praise, don't forget to keep this payment coming ...I promise you will have a lovely stay
mia
I knew in my heart that praise would make life much easier for me.. I just hope I can repay her some day
time passed by so fast.. uncle came back from his trip... and my cousin max, he just acts as if I don't exist.
uncle does whatever aunty tells him to do.
two more weeks to my birthday... I have been occupied with house hold chores although there are servants. my aunty doesn't want me to live for free... after doing the chores, I go to my Aunty's boutique to help her out. she makes me clean the bathrooms and changing rooms...
although praise lives with me, she has alot of responsibilities to her father. she was made the manger of their Italian restaurant based in the city I currently reside.
on my way back from the boutique, I ran into my late fathers lawyer... lawyer Dan
mia
lawyer Dan! I didn't expect to see you...where have you been?
Lawyer Dan
mia..? mia! oh my dear...how have you been? come ...let's get a drink and catch up
...we sat down in a nearby cafe and ordered cool drinks...
mia
sir... I didn't hear from you after my father passed..
Lawyer Dan
am sorry dear.. I felt so guilty about your father going bankrupt and eventually committed suicide...
mia
wh..at...dddiiid yooou say? suicide?
Lawyer Dan
oh my...you didn't know?
mia
I didn't...I was told he was involved in a car accident
mia
why would he do that?! why leave me alone in this cruel world?
Lawyer Dan
am sorry... your father did that because his business partner betrayed him.
mia
mr duke?... the one who owns a gold mine in country x?
Lawyer Dan
yes... he made your father sign a contract with him... he needed your father to invest in his company and goldmine... he promised your father that he would pay him a certain amount of money every 6months for 20years... it was a great deal at the time...
Lawyer Dan
but you father never heard from him again after investment... I was there when they signed the contract.
mia
so Mr duke is responsible for my fathers death?
Lawyer Dan
in a way yes.. he would not have killed himself if he didn't run into so much debts... am sorry mia..
meeting Grey
mia was walking back home in a daze after speaking to lawyer Dan... she kept replying the conversion they just had
she didn't even see the car coming as she crossed the road...
body guard 1
miss...are you OK? I almost hit you! couldn't you watch before crossing?
mia just fell on the ground.. she felt as if it wasn't real...how could her father commit suicide?
body guard 1
miss? can you hear me?
the bodyguard walked back to the car ....
body guard 1
sir...I think that lady is in shock.
the man came out of the car and walked to where mia was sitting...
mia looked up...wow..so handsome.
mia
am sorry... I didn't know what happened just now
Grey
its fine...as long as you are ok
mia started walking to the direction of her Aunty's house... but the man stopped her
Grey
may I give you a lift?
mia
no thank you. my house isn't far
mia didn't have the strength to argue. she just followed his to his car and got in. no long after, they were parked in front of her Aunty's house.
mia
Grey... thanks...she smiled
body guard 1
sir, do we go back to the hotel or straight to the airport?
Grey
let's go back to the hotel... I want you to get me all the information on her.
Grey

Grey
no matter... I know where she lives... let's go for now
immediately mia entered the house, she met her cousin max . he had 3friends over. they were smoking and drinking.
she quietly walked upstairs to the room she shares with praise. she didn't want any trouble
she got into the room and closed the door. she sat on the bed and cried... she cried for so long that she slept off... when she woke up, it was already dark outside
mia
I wish I had money to exert revenge on that b-----d who betrayed my father! .
mia
without money I can't do anything. I feel so useless
she got up and took a shower... changed her cloths and took out her diary. she started the diary when her father died. she wrote down her experience of the day and how she met grey... she had not even thought of him ... he is very handsome.
mia
I don't have time for that right now. I need to focus of getting revenge
