Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 28

“Burn those who burned me!”

Chapter 28

Thomas looked over at Danielle, her face was flushed with fear.

“Ask your daughter.”

Everyone turned towards Danielle. Amber and Davis moved towards her speaking in soft tones.

“Dani dear, why don’t you tell your father and I what your proposal was about. If it can get us a contract with MGT we can clear all of this mess up. I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding caused by your sister.”

Now it was Daniel who stared at his mother with slight disgust, he wasn’t sure what was going on, but why was she so hellbent on blaming Rabena. Guilt suddenly began to creep into him, it was he that blamed her first. Darius decided to speak, this whole situation was beginning to piss him off, no way his family was THIS blind when it came to Danielle.

“Danielle why don’t you just stop lying. This is dragging out longer than it has too.”

Amber cut in trying to stop Dairus from speaking but he kept going.

“Do all of you suffer from amnesia? Danielle barley made it to college. If it wasn’t for her being a legacy child she would have never gotten into the university. It was Rabena that had the perfect GPA, and high–test scores. She’s also the one that studied business and economics. She wrote the proposal.”

Amber interjected again.

“That’s impossible! There’s no way she could have written something that thorough.”

Darius gave a sarcastic laugh.

“Really mom? Are you so blinded by hatred towards Rabena that you would think it’s impossible for her, an economic and international business major with a perfect GPA to draft a business proposal. BUT the daughter who barley made it to college and majored in literature could? You think that makes sense?”

But before Amber could answer, Thomas spoke up again.

“Mrs. Crest, whether you believe it or not, Rabena wrote that proposal. So, if you all want to be apart of that development deal, I suggest you help me find Rabena by Friday.”

Daniel looked over at Thomas in confusion.

“Why? What will happen by Friday?”

Thomas let out a deep sigh.

“In order to salvage the mess Danielle made, I had to tell Chairman Michaels I was still married to Rabena. He’s hosting his annual charity ball in Banton this year and we’re all invited. The invitations will be here this evening.”

Chapter 28

The room was once again quiet. What should have been a joyous moment soon turned into a nightmare. If Rabena didn’t show up at that ball, not only would a lucrative business deal be destroyed, but word could also get out around Banton’s social society. Amber let out a loud yell.

“That little brat is always making our lives miserable!! I don’t see why she has to be there!”

Thomas was growing tired of this act.

“Unless you want your family to be the laughingstock of Banton, I suggest you get off your high horse and help me find her!”

Fresh out of tears, Danielle finally spoke.

“What if we say she was too ill to show up at the ball?”

Thomas looked at Danielle with complete exasperation. Although he was irritated with her, her suggestion wasn’t a complete waste. They would have to think of something in the event they could not find Rabena. Gritting his teeth, he agreed to the plan only as a backup.

“Fine. If by Thursday we can’t locate her, we’ll tell them she’s sick. Danielle, you’re good at lying so I’m sure you’ll put on a fantastic show.”

With that, Thomas left the estate and began his search for Rabena.
