Chapter 36: Caught
"Nothing Anita. Cecilia is a good person trust me. She's nice and friendly." said Gloria half smiled
"Uhmn when did Cecilia become your friend?" asked Anita surprised
"Recently I think! Am going inside the class now Annie." said Gloria, she started walking away
"Like seriously! Gloria is now friends with the drama queen." said Anita inwardly and started walking back to the school library
At Mrs Smith's house, Fred and his friend was studying for the last paper examinations
"I can't wait for our last paper tomorrow." said Henry joyfully
"Me too!" replied Fred.
"Where's your sister, Fred!" asked Henry
"She's not home yet!" replied Fred
"And Olivia?" asked Henry and he noticed Fred mood changed "Fred do you really believe Olivia took the purse?" asked Henry gently
"Who else would took it! It was found on her period and that made me feel sick anytime I think about it." replied Fred sadly
"It's alright dude." said Henry
"It's not alright, Olivia's just a deceiver and a liar!" said Cecelia, she entered the room smiling brightly
"I see!" replied Henry nonchalantly
"Fred, that girl is not innocent. She's just pretending. The earlier you know now the better for you!" said Cecelia softly
"Thanks Cecilia for your advice!" replied Fred
"You're welcome!" said Cecelia smiling
Cecilia had already texted Gloria, along the time she was discussing with Fred. Gloria came inside at the moment and broke the silence
"Hi Seniors!" said Gloria gently
"Hi Gloria, how're you doing?" asked Cecilia cheerfully at Gloria. Henry was puzzled at Cecilia sudden strange attitude
"I'm good senior Cecilia! Please I need to deliver something to the housekeeper for Anita. She sent me here." said Gloria politely
"Okay, walk gently to the door by your left and knock someone will attend to you." replied Fred
Gloria walked over to the door, Fred instructed and she asked of Olivia instead from the house keeper
"Yes who's that!" asked Olivia softly from Anita's room
"It's me, Gloria!" replied Gloria gently
"Gloria?" asked Olivia surprised
"Yes, Anita send me to deliver something to you!" replied Gloria gently
"Okay am coming!" said Olivia and she opened the door for Anita to come inside
"Hi Olivia," said Gloria and she walked over to the stool
"Hi Gloria!" replied Olivia
"Anita asked me to give you something." said Gloria, she checked her bag to bring it out "Jeez I forgot it at home!" said Gloria, acting up
"What's the thing, she asked you to give me?" asked Olivia stunned
"A parcel! Am sorry I didn't bring it Olivia." replied Gloria pretending to be sad
"It's fine, next time you can bring it with you!" said Olivia softly
"Okay thank you! Can I have a cup of water please. I'm thirsty." said Gloria smiled
"Okay I'll be alright!" replied Olivia, she went to the kitchen to get Gloria water
Gloria quickly took Olivia's phone and she compose the letter, Cecelia asked her to do. She had finished composing the letter and she was sent the message to Henry's number. Olivia entered the room suddenly and caught Gloria with her phone
"What're you doing with my phone?" asked Olivia
Gloria quickly dropped the phone door and was shaking all of a sudden. Olivia picked her phone and saw the message, Gloria sent to Henry
"What? Who did you send this text message to?" asked Olivia surprised
"I didn't s send a any messages!" replied Gloria trembling
"What's all this, who's Henry?" asked Olivia furiously
"I don't know?" said Olivia
"Really, if you don't confessed now, I will call everyone right here now!" shouted Olivia angrily
Gloria already knew, her plan had backfired, and she was shaking apparently.
Gloria knew her plan had been exposed, she didn't had any other choice but to tell Olivia the truth
"Olivia I will confess now!" said Gloria
"Start talking now!" replied Olivia impatiently
"It is Cecilia that sent me!" said Gloria
"Cecilia did what?" asked Olivia shocked
"She asked me to compose a love letter and sent it to Henry's number." continued Gloria
"What???" asked Olivia surprised
"Yes and Cecelia is here in the house!" replied Gloria
"Really? Let's go outside!" said Olivia and Gloria followed her meekly
At the sitting room, Fred and Henry was puzzled at the text message Olivia sent to Henry.
"Didn't I tell you, Olivia's a pretender!" said Cecelia smiling
"You're the pretender here, Cecelia!" said Olivia, everyone was surprised to see Olivia entered the room
"What!" asked Cecilia contemptuously
"You liar! I've a witness here, Gloria can you explain to everyone here?" asked Olivia softly
Cecilia was looking at Gloria, dumbfounded,
"Senior Cecelia asked me to set Olivia's up, I was the one that planted the purse on Olivia's seat and also sent the text message to Henry's phone. Olivia caught me on the act and I am very sorry." said Gloria
"What! You this stinky idiot!" shouted Cecelia and slapped Gloria hard on the face. Olivia stood up for Gloria and separated her from Cecelia grip
"You dare not touch her again." said Olivia fearless
"Oh you're her saviour." asked
Oh you're her saviour." asked Cecelia
Anita came inside at the moment and was surprised at the commotion in the house
"What's going on here?" shouted Anita, looking at Cecelia breathing heavily
"Thank God, you're here!" said Olivia happily
"What happened Olivia?" asked Anita surprised
"Did you send Gloria here in the first place?" said Olivia
"No what happened?" asked Anita
"Cecilia sent Gloria here to set me up, to accused me of dating Henry's." replied Olivia and looked over to Cecilia disdainfully
"It's not a wonder to me anyway. I saw Cecilia talking to Gloria yesterday and I was surprised at the two of them in deep conversation. Didn't I asked you Gloria what's going on between you and Cecelia. You said nothing!" Anita smirked at Gloria angrily
"I am sorry Anita. I didn't mean to hide anything from you. I think I'll tell you truth now." replied Gloria whispering "The woman I showed you wasn't my real mother Anita. She was my step mother." said Gloria quietly
"What?" asked Anita surprised
"I'm a mistress daughter. My mom is a poor single mother and I was raised by my step mother. Cecelia knew about my true identity all this while and I begged her not to disclose it to anyone.
