So, what's your plan?

Dave was taken aback at Amanda's outburst, she had really grown bold, someone was encouraging her to stand up for herself, in as much as her new self would have been something worth smiling about, Dave wasn't very pleased that she still hadn't given him the explanation he wanted, and if she was so bold, then she probably have found answers.

"Dave you need to take a stand, that girl cannot be flaunting and carrying herself like she is something, not after all she is done. Look at you at the hospital fighting for your life because of her, you need to take a stand" Mrs Brown was so angry, that she transfered all the agression on her sick son, who initially seem to be enjoying the show.

"Mum you shouldn't have stopped her, you should have allowed her go, just the way she came in, but you started talking with her, and that was why she insulted you".

"Just listen to yourself, you are spitting rubbish from your mouth.

I don't think you know the gravity of what that girl did, she insulted you, she is saying you cannot get her pregnant, she is saying indirectly with her action, that you are a woman, and here you are supporting her".

"She even still have the guts, to bring him food, as if food is the truth, that she should share with you". Tracy added and his mother nodded.

Dave nodded his head, as he though about what his mother just said.

His mother is right, maybe he was letting Amanda off easilly, but he really couldn't tell what came over him, and what made him take the food from her, and ate without blinking or thinking about it twice, if he didn't know her Christian background he would have thought she had charmed him to act in the way he acted. Answering his unspoken question, Tracy added.

"I think she put something in her mouth and the food, you should have seen the way she walked in her with all boldness and spoke to Dave without blinking. She put something in his food, you know people from her side how they behave, those people are too fetish and can go diabolical if they feel threatened"

Mrs Brown's eye widened in acknowledgement, "that girl was sure able to do something like that". She agreed just the other day she had walked out of here in tears and she had been happy, her son was now finally acting mature and taking no nonsense, but today what she had heard had meant only one thing, Amanda had gone to repackage what ever charm she had been using on her son.

"Tracy you are right, that must be it, and I will definitely break her, she doesn't know me"

Tracy liked the sound of that, she smiled as she grabbed her bags.

"I will be leaving now, I was actually on my way before, when I saw her walk in, I decided to walk back inside, thinking Dave would be a man and send her away, instead, he welcomed her with open arms". She complained, giving Mrs Brown a baby face.

"Don't worry, I will show her that I am not call Brown for nothing, I will deal with her". She said heating her chest.

Tracy smiled, hugged her, and walked out of the room, feeling really happy.

Dave could really not tell anymore, he couldn't stand or vouch for Amanda, she could be anything now, as long as he was concerned, he really doesn't know her anymore.

"Mum I cannot divorce her"

Dave's voice caught through her heart and she wondered what kind of charm Amanda had used on her son, what man wouldn't want a divorce when he was obviously living with a prostitute, else how would anyone explain a woman carrying another man's child when she was married to another. She looked at her son with so much anger in her and would have spanked him with her Tommy belt if he wasn't in pain, but she decided to ask to understand what he was saying.

"What do you mean by that?

"If I divorce her, she would be let off easilly and the court would probably want to give her part of my properties as my legally wedded wife. So I don't want that, I want her to get tired and leave on her own, I want to make her leave"

"And you think you can achieve that by eating her food and encouraging her to talk to your mother the way she likes in your presence?

Dave hadn't thought of it that way, he had just watched in admiration while Amanda spoke harshly without respect to his mother and even pushed her out of the way to get to the exit, and he had said or done nothing.

He didn't think his mother would be angry about that, but now that she mentioned it, he could tell she was hurt.

"I am sorry mother, I didn't have the strength to, and eating her food wasn't my plan if you all had brought me something to eat. I was starving and no one noticed it"

Now his mother was quiet, he knew he had touched her soft spot, and now she feels guilty for letting him eat from the devil because she was not paying attention to the details in front of her,  but if she had been around when she arrived, she wouldn't have allowed her anywhere near her son, she would have been thrown out with her charms and food.

"I am sorry about that"

Now it was his mother apologising, instead of scolding him, he felt happy that the argument didn't last long and he could save his strength.

"So what is your plan?

His mother's question brought him back to what he had said earlier, he sure had a plan and that was how he knew Amanda hadn't poisoned or charmed him, he may have rushed at her food, but that was because he was very hungry and Amanda is an amazing cook.

His sister who had been silent for too long seemed to look up at him expectantly. He knew it must be hard for her, she actually loves Amanda and had been her only friend, she had even believed her when she said her pregnancy was a mystery, but now she had to pick a contrary side to the one she had picked earlier.

"I want Tracy to move in with me!
