Chapter 3 Sister's Betrayal

Chapter Three: The missing passport.

Rose dared to take away my husband. Cecelia fumed, with her face turning crimson. But I will do everything within my power to make her life a living hell. I will make sure I separate her and Jake apart. She vowed to herself .

First I will have to convince Catherine to let me stay in the house with the guise of allowing my sister to settle down. Then I will use that opportunity to tarnish Rose Image and get her kicked out of the house.

She plotted Evilly to herself .

Jake's younger sister Emily and Mother are very fond of Cecelia. During the period she was engaged to Jake, she usually visits the house Regularly and sometimes sleeps over . Cecelia is the extroverted type who talks even when she is not supposed to, cunning and Evil minded.

She knows how to play on people's emotions as far as she can achieve her agenda.

She walked into Emily's Room after knocking twice on the door.

Cecelia, I'm very sorry for what happened yesterday at the wedding. Emily whined, your sister must be shameless to have married my brother, after knowing he was supposed to marry you.

Don't worry about that Emily. Cecelia defended, after all, she is my sister. She said,cunningly.

I want to stay for a few more Days and ensure that my sister is well settled before going back home. She Continued, you know Rose is the quiet type and wouldn't say anything even when something is distressing her. She Concluded.

No problem with that Cecelia.your like a family to us and we want you to stay. Emily Bounced on her Bed. We will stay together and have nice girly chitchats .

I will have to inform your Mum First Emily. Cecelia walks towards the door.

Mum will surely agree of course, Emily said,as Cecelia walked out of the Room and closed the door behind her.

Catherine had just seen a visitor that came to facilitate with the family out and was walking back to the Huge parlor when Cecelia Called out. Aunt Catherine, please I would like to stay for a few days to ensure my sister settles down.

Lady Catherine smiled.of course, you don't need to take permission from me Cecilia,this is your house and you can stay as long as you want. After all, you're the daughter in laws I should have.

Thank you. Aunt Catherine. She Said,

You Don't need to thank me Cecelia. She

Replied.and headed to the corner where her husband is having a good time with his brother, Jerome.

Jake walked in where his mother, father, Uncle and other family members were chatting vigorously and announced.

I will be traveling with my wife to London in two days. The University gave me leave,so I will use it for my honeymoon.

I'm Happy for you Son. You really need to start enjoying your married life.his father said, excitedly.

Cecilia heard the News from the Corner where she was and stewed with Frustration and Anger.

I will never allow Rose to travel to london.she murmured to herself.

She went upstairs and headed to her sister's Room. She Knew Jake was still downstairs with his family members and won't be returning soon. She listened and peered through the door hole managing to see Rose pacing about the room but she couldn't actually decipher what she was doing.

She Opened the door without even knocking , Sis, what are you doing here While others are downstairs having a good time. Rose opened her eyes in surprise.

Cecilia,you started me . You should have at least knocked before entering. What if Jake happens to be here.

Cecelia breezed past her as if nothing happened. I know that your husband is downstairs already. I came up here to see if I can help you with something especially since you would be traveling for your honeymoon in Two days.

Rose opened her mouth but no word came out, Ooh that,she ended up saying.

Jake already Told everyone so I am happy for you little sister. Cecelia Cued in her cunning manner. Seems you are

unpacking.

I'm trying to arrange these clothes, and separate the ones I and Jake will be traveling with.

My sister is really in love. Cecelia Cajoled.

Stop it Cecelia, Rose said defiantly, you know I never wanted all these. I was forced into it.

Forget it little sis,I'm just kidding you.

Cecelia picked up one of the clothes and started folding it neatly. So has your husband made a passport and other necessary traveling documents available? She asked in her cunning nonchalant manner.

Jake Called a friend in the immigration agency. Our traveling documents will be ready by tomorrow . All we need to do is show our passports at the Counter for scan before Departure. Rose replied.

I see. Cecelia said.

Ok sis, let me leave you to your little chore but if you need me, do not hesitate to call on me. I told Aunt Catherine that I would stay for a few days to help you settle down. Once you're off on your honeymoon,I will be leaving.

Thank you. Rose Responded gratefully.

As Cecilia walked out of the Room, she wondered how she had tripped and fell yesterday during the welcoming Ceremony. It was obvious someone made her fall deliberately to shame her. She also knows that Cecelia Did not like her and always saw her as her rival right from their Childhood. So why is this show trying to make her settle down? She asked herself.

She knew that she was up to something but she didn't know exactly what.

The Following Morning. A day before their trip. Rose came out of the bathroom, her hair still wet from the hot shower. Jake was still in the Bed when she entered the bathroom.he told her to pack all her stuff for the trip today to make it easier for them by tomorrow, since they have been booked for morning flight.

She glanced to the Bedside but Jake was not there.

Suddenly someone grabbed her from the back and she flinched.

Hahaha Jake Chuckled. Why are you afraid in your own room Mrs Chandler,he joked.

He caressed her wet hair and smelled the fragrance of her hair perfume. His lips motioning from her face to her lips ,just before he could kiss her, Rose stopped him.

Jake,go and brush your teeth. We have a long day ahead of us. She said, as she slipped away from his arms.

Alright my princess,but you Owe me a morning kiss. He spread his hands in the air to emphasize his point.

Rose blushed and turned away. Jake has been her first man even when she was not prepared for it. Such sensitive issues make her shy. One thing she likes about Jake is his bluntness.

Ok. go and brush first sir,she replied.

I have told you to stop calling me sir, Jake retorted.you are now my wife. Very soon I will make you call me my love.

Rose blushed again,if you do not go now mind you I won't go on the trip with you again,she joked.

Ok Madame, Jake obliged and went into the bathroom.

Cecelia paced restlessly in Emily's Room. She is Currently sharing a Room with Emily until she returns back. Emily had gone out of the house, so she has the Room to herself to plot her Evil. I must look for an opportunity to remove Rose's passport without her noticing. She muttered to herself. Yes she nodded as a thought came to her.

The morning of the Day Jake and his wife Rose are going on their trip.

Jake hurried out from the bathroom, Rose please make sure you're not forgetting anything. We have a two hour drive to the Airport before departure. He went to the wardrobe to wear his clothes.

Ok sir, she is yet to get over calling Jake sir. I'm always Done from here, she replied.

Moment later Rose was dressed with her luggage ready. Jake came out from his study Room and said, Check your passport, Rose, whether it's in your Bag.

It's in my Bag Jake. I put it on myself, she replied.

At that moment there was a shout downstairs. Emily came to Call Jake. She knocked, when Jake opened.

Mum got injured by shattered glasses,she blurted out as he scurried after her downstairs. Rose abandoned what she was doing and followed them out of the Room.

Meanwhile Cecelia has been hiding at the Far Corner of the Door, waiting for this opportunity. This was all her manufactured Game plan. She sneaked into the Room.

Went Straight to Rose Bag, dip her hands in as she rummaged frantically and after a moment retrieved her hands, She looked carefully and it was indeed Rose's passport. She gesticulated in victory and kept the bag, as she was moving away with the passport, she heard voices outside the door. She quickly ran to the closet and hid. Jake and Rose came into the room.

Get your Bag Rose, we are leaving immediately . He called one of the servants to take the luggage to the waiting Car trunk. We need to get to the Airport in two hours,he told Rose.

Rose took her hand Bag and followed Jake out of the Room , and they both went downstairs where his Father, mother , Cousin and other family members were waiting.

At that moment, Cecelia came out from where she was hiding and headed downstairs.

No evil eye shall be cast on you, my son, Louis was saying. You just enjoy this vacation with your wife.

My son,you just be careful, you know your wife is careless with things but look after her, her mum said, she never misses any opportunity to insult Rose.

Mum, this is not the time for bickering, Jake corrected.

James,his cousin, came and hugged him tightly, take care of your Wife Jake,he said, she is your First priority.

Cecelia touched Rose on the shoulder, safe trip little sis.

Jake glanced at everyone for one last time, lifted his Bag and turned to Rose.

Check if your passport is in your Bag Rose.

A wave of shiver Radiated through Cecelia's spine. It's in her Bag of course, she interjected, she says she has checked it severally.

Jake waved farewell for the last time, and he and Rose went out of the House together.
