Bedding My Vampire Mate

[Don't worry Grandma very soon I will show you that I have the ability and guts to take revenge. I won't disappoint you when that time comes so look forward to it because it will be my turn to laugh]

Joanna clenched her fist. She controlled her inner self which wanted to challenge them.

"What the hell are you still waiting for?" She shouted as if she didn't know that Joanna was there all this time.

"Get in there and prepare me some good food," She commanded.

With gritted teeth, Joanna bent and carried the tray. She spun and was about to exit the room when Grandma Cora's words caused her to stop in her tracks.

"If you make me wait more than the stipulated time, I promise that tonight will be the day I finally put an end to your miserable life," Grandma Cora threatened.

"I will make sure that doesn't happen," she replied and left in an instant.

She could hear their laughter even though she was far away from their room.

In the kitchen, Joanna was quick with her preparation. With the system timing her she didn't have to constantly raise her head to look at the wall clock or her cell phone.

When she finished it a minute only remained in the ten minutes they allotted to her.

"Fuck, I am late!" She half screamed and carried the tray from the table.

Immediately she disappeared from the kitchen along with the tray of food. She surfaced in front of the brown door.

"Granny, I am sure she is going to run late this time around. I wished you would leave the stage for me this time around," Laura suggested.

They were oblivious to the fact that Joanna was standing outside the door. Thanks to her system she was able to conceal not only her scent but also her presence.

"I promise I won't let you down…,"

"I know you are nothing like your mother but you are more like me. You won't go easy on her, I believe you," Grandma Cora smiled and patted Laura's hands.

Joanna grinned and adjusted the way she held the tray.

[I know you have already planned everything but I will have to disappoint you tonight stepsister]

She reached out her right hand and knocked on the door.

Joanna pulled the door open after she got their permission to do so.

The two ladies couldn't hide their astonishment when they saw the tray of food in Joanna's hand.

They both exchanged possible glances.

[How on Earth was she able to prepare and finish everything in exactly ten minutes?- Is someone helping her or…]

"Madam, here is your meal," Joanna's gentle voice disrupted Laura's thoughts.

She bent and placed the tray at the centre table.

Laura composed herself and tried to think of what to say and do.

"I hope you are satisfied with the food…,"

"You call this thing food?" Laura yelled. She picked up one of the dishes and flung it in Joanna's direction.

Joanna moved two steps backwards and avoided her attack. She did this without arousing the suspicions of the elderly woman at Laura's side.

"W-what is wrong with the food this time around…,"

"Are you trying to complain huh? You are trying to say that we are deliberately making things hard for you right?", Grandma Cora roared.

"I-I wouldn't d-dare," she stammered and faked a terrified expression.

"It's good to see that you haven't forgotten your place in this house," she added and left the stage for Laura to display.

"You call this greasy thing food?" Laura demanded. She bent and picked the big bowl containing the fish Joanna took her time to grill.

She approached where Joanna stood with the bowl in her possession.

"Are you perhaps planning to make my Granny sick with these junk things you refer to as food," She challenged and raised the bowl to Joanna's chest.

"Don't try to push your luck just because your old hag is here. Remember the slap your mother gave you? That was only a warning…,"

"And what will you do if I keep pushing my luck huh?" Laura scoffed.

"I will make you regret your action…,"

"I can't wait to see you do that when I have my Granny as my backer now," she grinned and went ahead and poured the entire content of the bowl on Joanna's white shirt.

Joanna so much wanted to punch Laura in the face and made sure even if she didn't lose three teeth that she ended up with a dislocated jaw that night.

She clutched her hands until they hurt.

"Don't just stand there and get this place cleaned up," Madam Cora ordered.

"Don't you dare think you can use this as an excuse to slack either," Laura added.

She spun and returned to her previous position with her head held high.

Joanna so much wanted to murder the duo in that room but she held herself.

[I will be able to relieve my anger momentarily if I take action but what is the fun there when I can take my sweet time playing with this old hag?]

She grinned inwardly.

Joanna pushed pride and dignity aside. She bent and picked up the broken dishes and the food on the floor.

She left the room after she was done cleaning up the mess.

Just like Joanna had expected, they made her cook from one dish to the other the entire night.

She prepared over ten different dishes but they found fault in every single one.

They thought they had won not knowing that the true winner was Joanna; the lady who used their tricks against them to make sure they didn't go to bed like her for the entire night.

When she returned to her room it was 5:00 am. And she met her little brother sleeping on her bed.

"He is so pitiful. I can't believe he fell asleep while waiting for me," she mumbled and walked to the bed.
