"Your birthday gift".
Keisha walked out of her room which was originally a store room converted into a maid's room by her stepmother, her eyes were so red without the spectacle , and she was moving towards the hall where her two stepsisters were, she wanted to scold them as the elder sister, she has never done that before, and she couldn't wait to experience what it felt to scare someone. She turned seventeen today and her sisters really gave her a surprise. Lucy and Amara had being planning the' gift' to present to Keisha on her birthday, "we always pull pranks on her almost everyday, why don't we take it to the next level", Lucy was always the one with ideas, Amara would just nod her head and follow suit, it seemed bullying Keisha was their purpose for being born. " I'm really getting bored of just pulling small pranks on her, she needs to experience a matured prank since she is getting matured " Amara said it with a very broad smile on her face as if saying ' I really enjoy what I do'. Their mother is a very critical thinker, she makes her moves with accurate planning, she does not do anything without benefits, and her daughters were just like her, but for them they do it for fun.
They brought school mate who was known for his notorious behavior and a typical bully, he would do anything for money and pleasure, his really name was Adams Belder, but in school he was known as Bilzee, his mother once went to their school, to look for him, she was so frustrated cause nobody knew him by his real name and she did not want to be seen by the school head because of his long talks so she had to go back home, on her way she met Bilzee's home friend and asked him her son's whereabout, the boy couldn't hold his laughter as to the name the mother mentioned, he had to explain the reason why she couldn't find her son, the mother was really taken aback as to the sudden revelation.
Bilzee came with a sinister face, knowing the reason why he was called to the Villa. He was very mesmerized with the view of the house, which was painted all white inside out, with a few portraits hanging on wall as well as statues made of bronze and clay. The two sisters were observing him very well, they had to finish their plot before this guy suddenly gets different idea based on the way he scrutinizing the house.
"Hmm", Amara cleared her throat and continued, " we'll call her out to serve us then follow the plan accordingly, we've already sent the maids out on an errand,don't make any clumsy mistake". one could see the sinister smile on her face.
Keisha walked past them and put the drinks on the centre table and turned to leave but Lucy called her back with the excuse that she and Amara were going to wear their dresses and go out so she should keep their guest company, she left with her sister after saying that. After they left, Bilzee asked her to sit for a chat but she flatly refused, she knew those snakes had something installed for her but she never knew it would make her change so much. " Stop thinking too much and show me around your house, I kinda like it the plan very much". He broke her thought knowing she did not trust him that much, but he also knew she would not treat him bad because of her step sisters. " OK, let's go, I'll take the lead since you are the guest ". She became cautious suddenly, if he saw the colours of her eyes changing because of mixed emotions, he would really freak out, but it didn't show because of the spectacles.
She tried to calm her emotions but to a knife and hid it in her apron when she showed him the kitchen, the kitchen was very spacious with modern tools and equipment, a dining table for the maids, a very large flats screen, the Mrs of the house did not let the maids spend a long time in the living room, so she made sure the kitchen was well equipped.
Lucy and Amara were very pleased with what they've done, laughing out loudly as if they've received the world best actresses, " this is your birthday gift, Keisha, enjoy yourself". Lucy was very proud of their accomplishment. Their story was almost similar to that of Cinderella,( I guess you remember the wicked stepmother and sisters).
