ENOUGH WITH THE WITCHES

"Alright, miss." She hurries out to carry out my order.


"What the fuck are you up to, bitch?" Nelly speaks as the servants start walking in bunches, while her mother has probably murdered me a hundred times.

Is she shaking already? Oooh, no! Poor thing. She shouldn't, because this is nothing but the beginning. "You wait and watch, pathetic bitch!" I retort.

"Don't you dare humiliate us, Ellie! You already have enough, and I have had it with you! You don't want to awaken the beast in me so soon!" Gracia warns between gritted teeth.


She has had enough. How can she have enough when I have not done a shit? "Save your threats to yourself! You people have humiliated yourselves enough already, and you are even dragging my father's name in the mud! But not anymore!" I state.

"Miss, Ellie? We are all here!" Nanny Aisha says:.


I lift my head to the countless number of heads before me in white uniforms. Past the crowd, Damian stands tall on the stairs, wondering what is going on here. I don't know what he will think of this, but I need to put these witches where they belong!

I walk in front of everyone while the witches spring to their feet with fear. "Good morning everyone! I don't have much to say except for a few crucial declarations I want to make. Uh, Gracia, Nelly? Please join me here in front," I call them, and they drag their legs lazily to the front.

"What the heck are you planning, you witch?" Gracia whispers as they halt beside me.

Witch! Yeah, I am going to show you what sort of witch I am, you bitch!

Damian walks to my right side and clenches my hand. I look at his face. He has this questioning look in his eyes, one eyebrow arcing above the eye, asking me what I am doing or if I am sure of what I am doing. I nod my head, and he relaxes, but he doesn't let go of my hand, and neither do I battle to pull it away. We are one and together in this.

"Listen up everyone. The two women you see right beside me, Gracia and Nelly, due to numerous misconducts and abuses of my family's name, have been barred from this castle!" Even Damian had to look at me with dismay at that. "My orders are, one, they under no circumstances are not allowed to set foot inside this castle unless and until I so order. They stay in the SQ. Two, I withdraw all the possible services they have been getting. No bodyguard should go anywhere with them, and they are not allowed to use any of the family cars. Three, they will feed for themselves. No food should be brought to them unless they work for it. And lastly, all my orders take effect immediately! I want to see them out of this castle in thirty minutes! Is that clear?"

"Yes, boss!"

"Good. Be gentle with them, though," I say with sarcasm.

I honestly don't care one bit whether they get to the SQ safe and sound or with broken bones. They have caused me enough problems and pain. They have crossed all limits, and I have exhausted all my patience with them. The one they pulled yesterday was the last straw. And this is no longer about me and my pride. It is about my family. It is my family's honor they want to stain, and that is something I will not give them a chance to do. Let us see what they will do with all the power and privileges trickling off them! Cheap, useless moron!

The castle falls quiet despite more than a hundred people being in it, but not for long.

"You have gone way too overboard, Ellie! Throwing us out of the castle? What?"

"Stop whining, Gracia! Thirty minutes are ticking, so better hurry and pack up," I respond. I have prolonged this for far too long. There are thorns in this house. A threat to both my peace and my sanity. They have so overstayed their welcome and overejoyed the benefits they did not even sow.

"What kind of animal are you? How could you do this to us?" Gracia squeals.

"You and I know that I am even being extra generous for letting you stay inside this compound. You both know where you belong, in the dumping site! But before I throw you both there, I am going to watch and enjoy your miseries!" I state.

"Let's see how far your arrogance and prominence will take you! I hate you just like I hated your"

"Mom!" Nelly stops her.

She hated who? My father?

"Let's go, mom! We have been humiliated enough! I can't take any more of this!" Nelly pulls her away, and they and everyone else leave.

I am left with Damian, thinking about what Gracia was about to say. She hated Papa. Or who? And why? So, I was right. Her stay here was never by chance. And it clearly was not love that made her stick like a tick on a cow to my father's side all this while?

"You know you have just declared war! Are you sure of this?" Damian speaks, hugging my shoulders.

"They are the ones who started this! All this started when they invaded this house. I am not doing anything wrong," I fume.

"But are you sure that this is the way to go?"

"There is nothing more dangerous than a hungry, infuriated lion. I have pushed them into the corner. They are bound to make even just a single blunder to free themselves, just like the one Gracia was about to make just now! One wrong move, and this fire they started will burn them to ashes!"

I know I have just pushed them to the wall. They feel caged, insulted, and unjustly punished. They must try to get back at me, and that is what I want. I am not even done with them. This is the freaking beginning of their end!
