Chapter 26 Let's Go

• Anna walked into the living room with a glass and bottle of wine in her hand, proving Charles Dawson right after proving Charles words right... "Isn't that the second bottle this evening?" Charles said with disdain... "How is that any of your business?" Anna replied and drank all the contents in the wine glass before pouring herself into another glass. Charles shook his head. "I wonder how much more your kidneys can take.... you may die before I do, " He said, mocking and before Anna could have her comeback, Doris, their cook who had been working for the family for the family for almost thirty years... "Dinner is ready, sir," Doris informed... Gina wondered how Doris could put up with such a family for so long and not try to quit even once. was the pay that good... "Thank you, Doris," Charles said to her and walked out of the living room, but not before staring at Anna with disdain in his eyes... She was already halfway through her bottle of wine, and he hated how she looked now. She had been stunning when he first met her. that was what made him marry her. She was stunning and younger than his ex-wife, but now she looked like she had aged twenty years and they had only been married for seven...
• "You should stop drinking, or you could drop dead one day," Gina said to her stepmother and scoffed, as she followed her father out of the living room.. "B*tch!" Anna said, hating her even more. she knew from the first day she saw Gina that she was going to be a pain in the ass and she had been right... She hated both of them for making her life turn out this way....
• "Are you still running that...boutique?" Charles asked Gina not even then minutes into their dinner... was he finally interested in what she was doing... "Yes dad, business has been going really well lately and I'm thinking of opening a branch" Gina said proud of herself and hoping her father would acknowledge it but she had thought wrong, the smile on her father immediately disappeared when she heard her father's next words. "That shouldn't be necessary. You should be thinking of closing it up," He said firmly and took a bite out of his steak... "What!" Gina said in disbelief... "Did you think you were going to run it forever... I let you have enough fun," He said, and Gina turned to see a smile on Anna's face... she looked really pleased and Gina wanted to slap that smug smile off her face...
