"You heard me right Grey, tell your friends to fix their eyes on something and stop talking about my body" Prisca snapped at him fearlessly, her eyes not letting go of him.
Grey was blown away by her guts, "You realize that it is me you are talking to and not Rex".
His words angered Prisca who was shocked to believe that Grey could say something so little about his twin brother.
"You heard me right Grey, tell your pervert friends to have their eyes glued to the TV set and not on my ass. Don't you understand what it means to give respect to a woman's body and not admire her lustfully right to her face, that is very insulting and I won't take that from you or your friends' ' she said sternly at the shocked face of Grey.
With a disgusted look, she glanced at his friend's faces, looked at Grey, and walked out of their presence into the kitchen.
"Wow! She got the guts!" A guy said slowly stroking his beard, his eyes fixed on Grey who couldn't believe that Prisca Could talk to him or his friends in such a way. She just humiliated him in front of his friends and this is an insult he won't accept.
He stood up and walked towards the kitchen leaving his friends who wondered what might happen.
Prisca On her part was boiling with anger, one thing she hates is when men stare at her body like she is brought into this world to please them. This is her body and she had total control of it, not some group of boys and her stepbrother who thinks he can wail his tongue on her as he pleases.
"Who do you think you are, Prisca!" A sharp voice cut her short and before she could move, a strong hand grabbed her hand, pinned her to the wall, and rested his body on her, their breath on each other's faces.
"Get the hell away from me!" Prisca struggled to get away from Grey but his grip on her arm was so strong.
She stared into his angry eyes with no fear, nothing was visible on her except an angry look as to why she is being treated like this to him.
"Who do you think you are?! Huh?!" He fired at her angrily, his grip tightened making Prisca experience nothing but pain.
"Will you get your hands off me you pervert!" She spat at him with so much fierceness that made him more surprised.
"I can see that you are no longer scared of me".
Prisca face squeezed in a frown, "Scared of you? Why on Earth should I be scared of you? Tell me, Grey! Who do you think that you are? God Almighty or my parents? Will you get your savage paws off my skin!" She fired back at him, not giving him a chance to humiliate her.
Grey stared at her in anger, he couldn't believe that she could insult him right to his face without having any fear inside her. She looked so hard in a way he has never seen her before and it shocked him so much because he thought he had her controlled under him not knowing that she is so hard to tame.
"Listen to me child…".
"I am not a child, do not address me in such a manner!" she cut him short harshly as she struggled fiercely to get away from his grip.
Grey smirked but it quickly vanished, "How old are you? Aren't you a child to me, do you think just because my dad got married to your poverty teeth clenching mother, you think I will accept you into this house as my step sister huh?" He barked at her with anger pouring inside of him, his eyes stared at Prisca Whose eyes began to fill with tears due to his insults.
Grey saw the look in her eyes and it pleased him more, he continued with his hurtful words and didn't stop, "I am sure your father must have discovered that your mum is a lench, that is why he left because he doesn't want anything to do with a bastard child like you!".
A hard slap landed on his face, the whole world felt like it just crumbled underneath his feet, his eyes were wide with terror as he stared at the raging eyes of Prisca who stayed straight at him, her eyes not leaving him.
"Listen Grey, just because my dad and mum aren't together, that shouldn't give you the right to speak ill about my mum because she doesn't deserve it and I won't stand here and watch you spit such hurtful words about her right on my face, you don't have any right Grey, no right at all!" She yelled at him, picked up the soda and walked past him leaving Grey who had his eyes filled with shock, his hand on his face which was burning red from the slap.
Prisca walked into her door, locked the door and sat on her bed. Tears welled up so much but she won't let any drip out for a man who abandoned her mother and gave Grey the chance to insult her mother in the way he just did.
There was a knock on the door, Prisca leaped in fear and turned to it. She knows that she just slapped Grey so hard on his face that her hand is hurting but she doesn't care at all.
"Open up Prisca, it's Rex" the voice said from the outside.
Prisca Stood up from her bed, walked towards the door and opened it.
"I heard what just happened to one of Grey's friends, are you hurt?" Rex quickly asked with a concerned give, his eyes scanning her body for any possible sign of an injury.
Prisca Shook her head, "I am fine Rex ,where did you go? I was surprised not to find you among Grey friends".
"They are his friends, not mine" he looked up at her with a calm look on his face, "You must be so angry right now, I am just coming from my early morning jog in the estate, I heard what transpired between you and Grey, I never knew he has turned to such a beast" Sadness filled his eyes.
Prisca walked towards her bed, sat on it and fixed her eyes on Rex. Deep down inside her, she didn't feel sorry at all for what she did nor would she apologize to him. He insulted her mother, something she knows she can never do to him and she won't feel bad for anything that might happen during her stay here.
"Why does your brother hate me so much?" Prisca Broke the silence, her eyes not leaving Rex who walked towards her and sat on her bed.
"No Prisca, Grey doesn't hate you".
"No way Rex" Prisca shook her head, "You don't have to side with your brother at the time or make him look good before he. Obviously, he hates me and I have no reason for that. Is it my fault that my mum isn't as rich as your dad? At least we are not poor, we don't live in the street or beg for arms so your brief has no right to speak to me in such a way".
Rex let out a loud breath, "He isn't only my brother now Prisca, he is also your brother".
"Who the fuck cares about that?" She snapped at Rex.
"I am sorry," he replied.
Prisca Looked at Rex, she shouldn't pour the anger on him in any way, it isn't his fault that his brother is such an arrogant guy. After all, Rex has been nothing but calm towards her in a way that she should appreciate him and not look down on his kindness.
"I am sorry I raised my voice at you, I am just a bit angry".
Rex nodded with a smile, "It's fine, I clearly understand and I am not against that". He looked around her bedroom.
"Have you had breakfast yet?" He inquired.
"Not yet, I wanted to until your brother ruined it".
Rex laughed.
"What's funny?"
"I am sorry" he chuckled, stood up and dipped his hands into his pockets, "I just can't believe that you slapped Grey" he laughed at his words.
Prisca smiled, right now, she feels so good about herself, she won't let him talk to her in such a way anymore.
"Anyway, let me tell the maid to fix something up for us, I am hungry too" Rex let out and walked out of the room leaving Prisca who laid on the bed with her eyes fixed on the ceiling before her.
