TEST? WHAT TEST?

Rory came down stairs with a small blue box in her hands.

"Rory where did you get the money to start schooling?" Mrs Devane asked her.

"None of your business". Rory simply replied.

"Rory!" Mrs Devane yelled at her. "How dare you?!"

Rory laughed and said matter of factly,"You kicked me out of the house and told me I am no longer part of the family. So what I do with my life has nothing to do with you!"

"Rory, mom is just looking out for you. Moreover isn't it strange that out of the blue you just start attending one of the most expensive schools in the town with no explanation. People are bound to spread rumors". Sammy said as if she was trying to help Rory out. Rory sneered at them. This mother and daughter pair are really something.

"The daughter of a mistress can go to school freely with no criticism but I can't?" Rory asked calmly. Her words made the color on both the mother and daughter's face drain. Mrs Devane's face darkened.

"Who are you calling a mistress?!"

"You of course!" Rory said with a smile.

"You brat! You good for nothing! You orphan! Get out of my house this instant!" Mrs Devane kicked Rory out of the house.

Rory chuckled and walked out of there. Seeing the looks on their faces made her day.

"You just watch and see Rory,who the heck the illegitimate child is!" Sammy said to herself. She wasn't going to let her off that easily. It looks like she has forgotten that she was just a maid. She had grown wings. Will see about that!

....

Rory arrived at her house and saw butler Zoe. "Zoe Zoe,where is Dani?" She asked him.

"He hasn't returned back from work yet"

"He'll be back soon" Butler Zoe reassured Rory and she nodded. She went upstairs and kept the box on her table.

She freshened up and changed into home clothes. She sat down and opened the box.

The small blue box had flower paintings. The box was made of wood but t Rory designed it beautifully. She opened the box and they were just 2 things there. The first was her mother's necklace and the second was a white envelope. She took out the necklace and carefully observed it. The necklace was blue and had a sky blue butterfly pendant dropping down from it. It was beautiful. It was her mother's. It was given to her by grandmother. She has never met her mother so she cherished this with all her heart. She wore the necklace and closed the box.

...

When she went downstairs,she saw Daniel sitting down on the couch. Her heart fluttered at the sight of him. He was just so handsome.

"Daniel you're back!"

"Hmm."He said casually.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He said out of the blue.

"Tell you what?" Rory was confused.

"That you are the eldest daughter of the Devane family."He replied and looked at her every expression.

Rory's eyes widened in shock.

"How did you find out?!"She blurted out.

Daniel chuckled and said to her,"It seems like you don't know the man you married".

Rory smiled awkwardly. It's true that she didn't even know the first thing about Daniel. But it wasn't her fault!

"Hehe." She laughed with embarrassment.

"But why didn't you tell me about your identity?" Daniel asked seriously.

"I didn't tell you for fear you won't agree to the marriage" She said honestly.

"No one knows your identity so what do you plan to do?"He questioned again.

"I plan to take revenge and get back everything that rightfully belongs to me!" She said with determination in her eyes.

"Ok. Do you need my help?" Rory was his wife so it was his duty to help her.

"No,not now. When I do I won't hesitate to ask." She assured him and he nodded

...

It was dinner and they were both eating. When Daniel suddenly said,"How do you plan to prepare for the test on Monday?"

Rory almost choked on her food. 'Test?,What test?' Her lips twitched.

"What test?" She asked.

Daniel almost spat out the food he was eating. How could she know about her test and he did?

"You don't know about the test?" He asked her.

"What test? Nobody told me anything about a test?" She said helplessly. No one told her anything about a test.

"Ok I believe you. But you've never gone to school before so how do you plan on passing?"

How did she plan on passing? A very good question that she didn't have an answer to. With that she fell into deep thought.

After dinner,Daniel took Rory to a room.

The room was huge and had a lot of books that were well arranged on shelves. "Woah! What is this place?" Rory couldn't help but ask.

"It's a library."Daniel answered.

"Oh!"

"What's a library?" She asked.

"A library is a place where people read" Daniel answered patiently.

"Oh ok."She now understood.

"Yes. You can always come here to read and if you don't understand anything,let me know". Rory nodded.

She was extremely grateful to have met Daniel in her life. However she wasn't worried at all because of her talent. She was a genius that could read 7,000 words in one minute. So she could easily read all the books from grade one to twelve with ease and would understand. But she couldn't tell that to Daniel,at least not now. When Daniel was done,she went back to room. She turned on her phone and saw over 3000 unread messages. She almost fell down from her chair.

She checked some of the messages and saw they were talking about the test. How was she the only one not aware.

They were all worried about her with some even offering to help her cheat or get her notes. They seemed truly concerned and her heart melted. She was touched to have such people has her friends.

Rory:[don't worry,it's fine.]

Blairebaby:[Are you sure?]

Rory:[Yes am sure]

They all agreed but they were still worried. However they couldn't force her. Since she said it was fine, they'll naturally believe her.
