the daredevil
“Didn’t you hear? Get to work!” Mary shouted while making Elle infuriated upon the rude remark, but before she could do anything Mary took one step behind and mocked her. She knew that after getting the permit from Alessandro she did not have to hold back her irking desire to insult Elle and to make her life miserable. Meanwhile Elle did not speak anything instead kept on observing their sudden change of behaviour. She knew something bad would definitely arrive after all they now got permit from Alessandro which would give them authority to deal with her as they wish to. ‘She is intentionally making me do this to ridicule. Damn you Alessandro!’ Elle crossed her arms as she waited for the words from her mouth, meanwhile Mary ogled her from head to toe as she smirked upon her attire. Elle rolled her eyes upon her evident intention, but she was not going to give in at all. If Mary was a bitch then Elle was the stinging queen. Mary lifted her sly expressive face and placed her one hand beneath her chin to pretend as if she had been observing something, then took a round around Elle’s silhouette. “Now I can see how did you manage to lure master Alessandro.” She commented on her exposed thighs and loose shirt which was nearly falling off her shoulder since it was Alessandro’. Mary halted behind her and felt envious seeing Elle’s round butt, then deliberately pushed her shoulder as she moved ahead. Elle barely moved though she became infuriated upon the brash act, Mary was not going to forgive her so easily upon ‘pretending’ Alessandro’ girlfriend. “Do you still think you can persuade him to come back by spreading your legs, huh?” As soon as the words left her mouth a hard slap resonated in the room, which echoed upon witnessing the once in a blue moon act. No one had ever dared to insult Mary let alone slap her. She slowly recovered from what had happened, since it was unexpected for her to practically get insulted by someone. Since earlier it always had been her teaching a lesson to Alessandro’ previous women, she had been secretly in love with him which grew into a dangerous obsession. On the other hand Ezra, the younger maid had never imagined such sight let alone witnessing it. She covered her mouth in shock and fright like Mary, whereas Elle had been calm until now. She had been putting up with her bullshit calmly because it was useless to argue with both of those fools. But Mary crossed every line when she literally called her a prostitute and hurt her emotions. Richardson was correct in his theory that she could practically take care of herself without any worry, and Richie himself trained her for the worst possible situation. He was well aware of his reputation and he was definitely not a man without enemies, thus Richie gave her self defense training and Elle learned how to attack from the trainer. In the present moment Mary found herself shocked but somehow she still managed to raise her hand to attack Elle, while yelling at her in rage. She was hurt and it was evident that Mary’s insult had a witness too, Ezra. Hence she had to save her face by reacting to Elle’s slap and in return she attempted to teach her with a slap too. “How dare a mere gold digger and prostitute bitch slap me!?” As soon as her hand was about to touch Elle’s face, the woman dodged and attacked Mary’s chest by smacking her right palm near her heart. Mary felt a sharp pain in her chest which make her stumble upon her footsteps and she fell down on her butt. Meanwhile Elle stood there silent yet her face had a cold expression which shrieked to Mary that she should not have initiated a scuffle with her. Meanwhile Ezra did not move an inch she was stunned by the whole scene which mad her glued to the certain spot. “I have had enough of your bullshit remarks,” Elle composed herself although deep down she was shrieking in her heart about the whole brave act, the lady never thought that one day she would actually hit someone and the whole strenuous training would come in handy. She did not want to show how terrified she had been after performing the attack, hence Elle stood straight and kept on staring at Mary. ‘Dang! How much I’m liking this expression of defeat on your face, you bitch!’ She saw yesterday that who was the woman talking in the kitchen, her clever and cautious peek made Elle familiar with her face. Mary did not like her a bit since day one but she could not show or voice out her irritation towards Elle openly, now Alessandro’ open permit made her elated upon the whole situation. Elle stepped forward while throwing the spades of anger at her, how could she let go of the feeling which made her seem strong. ‘I will teach you the real lesson. Cleaning, huh? My foot!’ Elle became furiously angry upon the whole recalling of the incident of yesterday, and saw Mary stepping back on her butt. Her terrified expression made Elle happy and a satisfied sensation ran in her blood. Whereas Ezra dashed out of the room and in the attempt of doing so her foot kicked the basket and she spilled the water. Meanwhile Mary tried to speak but her voice stutter upon seeing Elle’s advancements towards her, in that moment Elle seemed no less than a daredevil. “W-what are you doing?” Her fearful voice made Elle smirk as she lifted her right foot and placed it on Mary’s thigh, how could she let go of her knowing what evil Mary had been planning with Ezra. Mary wanted to wince in pain which was caused by Elle’ shoes but the more she would show her fear, the more Elle would torture her. Hence she covered her mouth and stared at Elle, who plopped down on the floor and leaned closer to Mary as she lifted her chin up with a sly smile.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
