Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

"Yes, those are the seats that are left." April then reached for the roast beef and plated some beef for Joseph then Martin and Tom. She sat back and saw Dean's frown, she of course was going to serve him but she wanted to see that pout of his.

She smiled and placed some beef on his plate and then her own. She then saw his smile return and smiled to herself. Noticing she was the only one that was serving food she said, "Please guys help yourselves."

Bernie then started to do the same as April and helped serve herself and the others. 

These men love to be doted on April thought.

Rachel, seeing the harmonious scene that was happening and neither she nor her daughter was a part of it, lost it, "Who is Tom to sit near the head of the table and who are they?" She pointed towards Robert, Bernie and Sam before continuing, "To sit before me and my daughter."

Joseph held his tongue; he was furious that someone felt that they had the right to dictate in his home and to also raise their voice in his presence. 

April, who had just finished serving the vegetables, placed her serving spoon down and said, "They are part of our family so of course, they sit before you, as you are two guests and you weren't even technically invited here so we are doing our best to accommodate you. But if you don't want to sit you can leave."

Rachel's eyes flew wide, "Family? Servants are not family, they are there to wait on you. They do not deserve a seat at the table. Do you not remember the rules at home?"

"I do but now you are in my home and this is my family. You never were. You made that clear by making me cook and clean up after you and your idiot daughter. But as you are in my home and you mean nothing to me you can sit or you can leave." April said firmly, her tone left no room for negotiation.

Lucy continued to stare at Dean; she didn't even hear Aprils words.

Dean and the others were proud of her, she found her voice and protected her family.

Martin felt uncomfortable, "Maybe I should take you both back?" Martin went to stand but Tom held his arm and made him sit down again. Martin turned to Tom and saw him shake his head.

Lucy panicked, she didn't care where she was going to sit, she just wanted to stay in Dean's presence. Lucy walked to her mum and yanked on her arm, "Mother let's sit."

Rachel was livid, April had forgotten her place. She was wrong to let her move out of the Green household. But she bit her lip and walked to the end of the table. As her daughter pulled her she threw her hands off her, "You sit there."

Rachel still wanted some control of the seating arrangements, she pushed her daughter towards the other side so she could sit closer to the top of the table. Once they were both seated Rachel looked to Bernie to serve her and her daughter.

Bernie huffed, she wanted to chase these two out. But like the rest, they were waiting for April to step up and put them in their place. The best way to do that was to show them her new standing in the Davis household.

"Are you refusing to serve your guests?" Rachel said glaring at Bernie.

Before Bernie could say anything, April voiced, "If you want to eat, serve yourselves. These people are my close family and are not here to wait after you."

Rachel bit her tongue so hard that she could taste the blood in her mouth. She took a drink of water from the glass in front of her and as she was about to speak her daughter stood up and announced.

"I'll serve." But just as she stood up and reached over the table to grab some beef she knocked over the pitcher of water all over her mother.

"Aghhh! You stupid bitch." Rachel screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Okay, thats enough," April said, the whole evening had been taken over by these two and she was very hungry. She looked to Dean and said, "eat."

"Yes, mam." He beamed at her and dug into his plate of food.

Seeing this the rest ignored the two at the end of the table and started to eat as well.

Rachel, who was cold and soaked, stood from the table. Her expensive outfit was ruined, she looked up at the table and saw everyone eating. "You don't deserve any of this! My daughter should be sitting there." Rachel pointed straight at April.

April held in her laugh, did Rachel not see how she looked right now, she was hardly the lady she portrayed herself as, so she asked, "Why would your daughter be sitting here?"

"My daughter is far more intelligent and beautiful than you ever could be, she deserves to be Mrs Davis and not you, you are worthless just like your mother!" Rachel shouted across the table.

Lucy pulled at her mother's arm to stop her and try to get her to sit but Rachel refused to back down.

"Enough woman, just stop. You are embarrassing yourself and me." Martin stood up and said. He wanted to stay and talk to April and make amends but Rachel and Lucy did nothing but interrupt.

"You are just like your mother leeching off the wealthiest man you just met. Stealing a man from your own sister. Don't make me get rid of you just like…"

Lucy stood and threw her hands over her mother's mouth.

"Just like what? What did you do?" April felt goosebumps all over her body and a chill ran up her spine. Did Rachel hurt her mother, she wondered. April stood from the table and made her way round to Rachel.

The evening had taken a turn and Dean rushed to April's side and saw her hurt and confused expression. 

Martin's low voice came from behind, "What do you mean you got rid of my wife?"
