Edna's Pov
It's dinner time and Petra already came to remind me to come downstairs for dinner.
I had skipped my lunch because I slept off while watching a movie so I had fruit when I woke up.
I was a bit hungry already so when Petra told me dinner was ready I immediately went downstairs to join the others on the table so that we could eat dinner.
I knew it might be a bit awkward for Darrel and I to eat on the same table.
I got downstairs and it was just Becky that was seated on the dining table.
Becky kept staring at me with a scary look on her face.
I didn't mind her, I just went to take a seat.
"Didn't I tell you that you are just a maid here so you should know your place in this park"
"Please I'm here to have my dinner and not to have any issues with you"
"I will advise you leave this dining if you want to have your dinner in peace because I can't eat on the same dining as you"
"Luna Becky please let me be" I said to her trying to shut her down.
"You can't have a peaceful dinner here Edna"
"You are just a maid and you can't be eating on the same table with me"
It was obvious that Becky wasn't going to back down; she just wanted to frustrate me.
Darrel hasn't come down and it was just me and Becky so it's better I leave the dining for them because once Darrel comes to join it will be a very toxic space for me.
"Please bring my food to my room. I would be eating there" I said as I stood up.
"Thank God you finally gave yourself some sense and decided to go back to your room" Becky said, rolling her eyes at me in a disgusting way.
It's not even up to twenty four hours since I got to the park and Becky came at me.
"I'm going to have this diner in my room just for peace sake and not because you said I should" I said to Becky as I walked out of the dining room and went to my room.
"Get out of my sight you maid!" Becky shouted trying to create a sin even though she knew I was already going to my room.
I got to my room and a maid brought my food to me.
It wasn't bad having to eat my dinner alone after all because I had no one trying to frustrate me.
I think I should just be having my meal in my room rather than going downstairs to join them for dinner.
I was done eating and a maid came to pack up my dishes.
I sat on a sofa chair in my room because I didn't want to lay on the bed since I just finished eating.
I was going through my phone and watching random videos to keep my mind busy when I remembered that Darrel told me to come to his room this evening.
I almost forgot because I wasn't interested in whatever he had to say to me.
It was past dinner time and everyone was done having dinner and I knew that Darrel would be expecting me in his room since he already told me to come.
I didn't want to go because I felt whatever it was that he wanted to tell me he should have said to me when he came to my room earlier.
I was a bit reluctant to go but I knew that if I don't go Darrel will come to my room himself.
"Can this man let me be?" I said to myself because I was finding it difficult to make a decision on whether to go to Darrel's room or not.
I was zoned out for a bit so the knock at the door startled me.
"Who is there?" I asked immediately and I was startled.
"It's me ma'am" A calm voice said from the door.
It was Petra, my personal maid.
I went to open the door because it was already locked and she couldn't come in.
"Is there any problem Petra?" I asked her nicely.
"No Ma'am, I just came to ask if there's anything you like me to do for you"
"Nothing Petra, I'm good for the night so you can go to bed already" I said to Petra calmly.
"Okay ma, if you say so I'll be going to bed now"
"Goodnight Petra"
"Goodnight ma'am"
Petra left and I was back to making a decision on whether to go to Darrel's room or wait for him to come to my room.
I finally made up my mind to just go to his room because this would make it the second time I'll be ignoring him.
"He won't swallow me after all" I said to myself as I went to his room to join him.
I decided to take a quick shower before going to Darrel's room.
In no long time I was done taking my shower and wore my night wear and left my room to go join Darrel.
I got to his room and knocked at the door calmly even though he didn't do the same when he came to my room.
"Come in" He said without even asking to know who was at the door.
Maybe it's because he was already expecting me so there was no need asking.
I was a bit shy entering Darrel's room even though he's my husband. I still found it a little bit weird.
I got to the room and Darrel was busy with his laptop so I just stopped behind the door waiting for him to tell me to take my seat.
Darrel kept me standing there for about three minutes and was so focused on the laptop he was pressing pretending like he didn't see me walk in.
It was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing.
I just stood behind the door waiting for him to be done with whatever he was doing so he can say whatever he wants to say and I'll leave.
I didn't even want to sit on the same bed with him or be too close to him so I was fine with standing by the door and talking to him from a distance.
He was done with his laptop and finally turned his head towards my direction.
He closed his laptop and placed it on the small cupboard beside his bed
He was seated on his bed and kept staring at me like I was a piece of cake that he wanted to eat.
It was quite uncomfortable for me so I was trying not to have eye contact with him.
"Why are you standing so far from me, come and sit?" Darrel finally said after keeping standing for minutes.
"It's fine Darrel, I'm good here" I said to him because I'm more comfortable talking to him from a distance.
"Edna come and sit, you don't expect me to talk to you while you are standing so far away"
"I'm fine standing here so you can go ahead and say what you have to say I'm listening"
"Hmmmm" Darrel said as he took a deep breath.
"What's with the hmmm?" I asked him with a sarcastic look on my face.
"That's because you aren't making any sense here, how do you expect me to talk if you are standing so far away from me?"
"I already told you I'm fine here so just go ahead and talk" I replied to him.
"Edna come and sit here," Darrel said, tapping the place on the bed where I should sit.
I didn't move an inch from where I was standing nor did I reply to him.
"Edna come and sit beside me here, that's the only way we can have this conversation with you"
"I can't be speaking and you are standing by the door like someone who is about to fight" He said with an upset look on his face.
I didn't reply to him , I just rolled my eyes at him because nothing he said would make me move an inch from where I was standing.
"This is my room and my house so whatever I say or tell you to do you will have to do it because my word is final" Darrel said with an angry look on his face.
I could tell from the look on his face that my stubbornness was making him upset.
Darrel is very authoritative and he always wants to have his way.
Darrel was going to back down on his decision to have me sit while we talked and I was going to give in to him as well so it was obvious he won't end up saying anything.
"Darrel if you can't speak to me like this then I'll just go back to my room. I said to him as I turned back and attempted to open the door and leave.
