Chapter 69 The Set up V
~Helen’s POV
“How dare you yell at me, bitch?” I shouted as I slapped Trisha. Her head flew back to one side, and as soon as she turned to look at me, I slapped her again, this time in the other cheek. I slapped her so hard that she nearly flew off the narrow hospital bed, her thin body hanging off the edge.
How dare she? I must have been too lenient with her.
She groaned in pain as she tried to straighten herself. She held her onto her burning cheeks, her face the very picture of shock as she tried to process what had happened. She searched my face and seeing the expression there, she immediately sat up, tears now rolling down her cheeks. She got down from her bed and immediately got on her knees, her hands clasped together as she began to cry out, begging and pleading.
“Helen, please don’t do this to me. I could get killed for this," she said.
That's much better. Daddy was right, they will never learn if you don't take them in hand.
I laughed out. "Why are you begging me, Trisha? I already begged you to take the fall for everything and I swore to protect you, but you proved stubborn,” I said.
“Don’t worry, I won’t allow you to die. That would be too easy and it would complicate my plans for you. The least I could ask my dad to do is to chase you off the pack. You are still my friend, Trisha and I can’t watch you die on me," I added, as she moved closer and began to pat her hair.
Her face twisted as she shoved my hand away angrily and struggled to stand up. “I won’t take the fall, Helen. I will fight for myself. I will expose you and everyone will see who you truly are," she yelled out and began to walk towards the door.
“And who would believe you? You must think so highly of yourself,” I asked, smiling coldly.
“Oh, I guess since you don’t have your phone with you, you don’t really know what is going on,” I said to her.
She stopped in her tracks and turned back to me slowly, wariness on her face as she asked what I meant.
I brought out my phone and waved it tauntingly at her. She looked at the phone and then at me, clearly loathe to ask me to show her. I rolled my eyes at her stubbornness and moved closer to her. I searched for the videos and pictures other students had taken earlier and showed it to her. She was so shocked asking me what I had done.
“Helen, you've just ruined my life,” she screamed out.
“How could you do this to me?” She yelled out again.
“So don’t even think of escaping and I’m sure that your rich parents won’t be able to save you as well,” I said to her.
“Do you think Olivia won’t regain her memory?” She asked.
“I will deal with Olivia myself, So take care of your own business.”
I couldn't believe the nerve of this girl, standing there like she had the upper hand. I chuckled, shaking my head.
"Trisha, you're playing a dangerous game. You think you can expose me? I'd like to see you try," I sneered.
She wiped her tears defiantly, her eyes narrowing at me. "I won't let you manipulate me anymore, Helen. I may not have the strength to fight physically, but I'll fight with the truth."
I raised an eyebrow, genuinely amused. "The truth? Sweetie, people believe what they want to believe. I've got the upper hand here. You're just a pawn in my game."
Trisha straightened up, determination in her eyes. "We'll see about that. I won't let you ruin my life."
I circled her like a predator toying with its prey. "Ruining your life? Oh, Trisha, you did that all by yourself. I just gave you a little push."
She glared at me, her fists clenched. "I won't back down, Helen. I'll fight."
I chuckled, enjoying the thrill of the confrontation. "Fight all you want, sweetheart. But remember, not everyone will be on your side. Some secrets are better left buried."
As I turned to leave, she called after me. "You won't get away with this, Helen!"
I looked over my shoulder, smirking. "Oh, I always do."
She screamed my name again but I ignored her and left.
Little did she know, this was just the beginning of my master plan. The chess pieces were in place, and I intended to checkmate everyone who dared to stand in my way.
Lucien was still outside and then I asked if I could stay with him to keep watch on Trina together.
“Sure," he said.
We talked about how despicable and wicked Trina was and then he told me that Lucas had informed Alpha Damon about Trina. I was so glad and just then the bell rang which means that the teachers were done with their meeting and everybody was to return to class.
“Should we return to class and leave Trina here alone?” Lucien asked worriedly as he thought that she might try to escape.
“Don’t worry, we can leave her alone. I’m sure she won’t try to run away,” I said.
Lucien nodded and we both walked back to the class. Mr Scott was already taking attendance and then Lucien and I quickly greeted and went to our seats.
Just when Mr Scott called Trina’s name and no one answered, he looked up and asked why she wasn’t in class. The whole class started murmuring and then a lady stood up and told him what happened when the teachers were having the meeting.
“What?” Mr Scott yelled out angrily.
“Is that true, Helen?” He asked me.
I nodded and then the lady even showed him the picture and videos.
“Where is she?” He asked, angrily.
“She is in the school clinic,” the lady said to him.
Mr Scott was so angry and then as he moved to leave the class, Trina came in panting.
“Everything they said about me is a lie, Mr Scott,” she shouted.
“You still have the guts to say something after everything you have done. You know what, follow me right now. I’m taking you to the principal.” Mr Scott said, angrily. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“If you want me to go with you, Helen needs to come along as well.” Trina said.
“Why will I come with you?” I asked her, innocently.
The whole class also joined in and asked why I needed to see the principal when she was the one who almost killed someone.
“I said I’m not one!” Trina yelled out again.
“Why won’t any of you believe me?”
“Helen was the one who planned everything. Why did you choose her words over mine? She added.
The whole class started throwing things at her calling her sorts of names. Mr Scott yelled at her to follow him immediately but instead she charged towards me trying to attack me. Lucien pushed her away as she almost hit me and just then, she slumped and lost her consciousness again.
