“What happened to you?” Aiza asked me when I reached her house. She opened the door widely and I could notice that she was shocked when she saw my expression. She trained me to control my emotion but now, I think I already failed her because I couldn’t stop myself from getting emotional.
“Nothing..” I couldn’t stop myself from lying to her. Why do Andrius' reactions keep haunting me? I felt guilty for making him sad as if she was the one who ruined my life. Maybe there was a part that he was but it was his family, who perfectly ruined me whenever they had a chance.
I wanted to avenge my daughter and Stanley but I didn’t know how? I was over confident when I went to Andrius' father but now, I feel that the wall that I built crashed because of Andrius. I feel that I wasted Aiza’s effort to have her revenge too.
“Samantha… I know that it is exhausting on your part that you are trying to seduce him. I feel bad that I’m using you for my own gain. We all have separate battles that we are facing.. But I want to say this to you that I treated you as my sister and not as my employee that I hired to act as my sister.. I know that there is something wrong but I will wait for you to talk to me whenever you want..” Aiza couldn’t stop herself from telling me. My mouth parted when I felt that my heart squeezed as if she was squeezing it. My tears formed in my eyes which tried to stop it from falling.
I don’t want to hurt Aiza so much. I don’t want to make her think that she wasted her time and wealth for me. I don’t want to disappoint her.
“Caroline…” When Aiza called me in my true name my tears betrayed me. My tears didn’t stop falling on cheeks that I gasped because I could feel that I’m lacking oxygen. “You are my sister. If you didn’t want to continue our plans, I understand. I realized that it is not worth it to have revenge. I can ask God to do that for me, what do you think?” she asked me.
“Aiza.. I didn’t know that you’re a religious person.” I couldn’t stop myself from making fun of Aiza which made her give a death glare. I winced in pain when she smacked my shoulders. Her cheeks were pinkish in so much embarrassment.
“Shut up. Of course, I believe that there is God existing and I do believe that what we are experiencing is part of the trials that we need to pass. Maybe, He knew that you could pass this trial. All you need to do is to trust Him.” Aiza’s words made me sob because I felt confused about what I should do next. Aiza hugged me tightly and I was hoping that she wouldn’t leave me anymore.
“I don’t like him anymore.. I found someone who can make me happy. Well, I’m ashamed because while you’re thinking how to get the revenge that I want, I accidentally slept with someone..” Aiza looked away and I couldn’t stop myself from pinching her waist. She groaned in pain so I hugged her back.
“How could you sleep with someone while I’m having a hard time with your plans? Did you know that I’m so stressed because I don’t want to disappoint you?” I complained which made Aiza chuckle. She moved away when I was about to pinch her again.
“So what are your plans? Why don’t you use Andrius to make yourself better? I don’t want to recommend that you should sleep with him because I know that you are secretly sleeping with him. He’s kinda possessive but I don’t like a man like that. I think he was so good in bed that’s why you can’t even forget about him.”
I moaned when I heard how Aiza teased me. Well, she was right that Andrius was so good in bed. She was right that I couldn’t forget Andrius. My feelings for Andrius made me confused terribly at the same time. I love him and I’m willing to do whatever he wants but I hate him at the same time. Maybe, if he wasn’t a son of those murderers, I think I can do everything for our relationship to work by any chance.
“Caroline, they are waiting for you.” Attorney Alvarez called me. I knew that they were all shocked when they discovered that I was alive. I don’t want them to see that Samantha and Caroline were one.
“Make them wait. I know that they are waiting for me so they can kill me.” Aiza informed me that I should be more careful when meeting them. She was helping me to investigate everything. She told me that I shouldn’t expose myself for now because we all needed to find the truth.
“Okay, I understand what you wanted me to do. I’m your legal attorney and I will do everything to make you safe. I will tell them that you didn’t feel to be with them, and I will file this case in court.” Attorney Alvarez told me before he ended the call. I was pushing the cart when I saw a familiar woman, it was Maxine.
Maxine was laughing with a man, and it looked like she was happily having a relationship while I’m suffering. My mind went out, and I could hear Cassandra’s cries when Maxine yelled at her ears. My daughter was crying so loud in Stanley’s arms.
“Do you want us to buy it outside the marketplace? Maxine, I don’t like to wait anymore, I want to get high as soon as possible. Why don't you ask your sister to buy those things for us so she would know that we are severe when we blackmail her.” The man who was with Maxine almost yelled. It looked like Maxine was madly in love with that man.
“We should wait for her. I know that she will do anything to get that powder. I don't like to always ask her because I don't want her to think that I will hurt her.” Maxine replied and giggled when she hugged the man who was with her.
My lips trembled, and I gritted my teeth because I would make sure that Maxine would see my wrath against her. How could she be so happy without even feeling any slight guilt for what she had done to my daughter?
“Oh, Beatrice needed to feel fear, Maxine. She might think that we aren't serious about it. I still can't believe that she let you do those things without even paying you anything.”
“But she will pay me now. Don't worry. I know that she will give whatever we want.”
“Make sure of it. I didn't like to be waited for so long. Maxine, you know that I love fucking your ass while we are high, right?”
Maxine laughed, and smacked the man's shoulders. “Of course, I missed doing those with you. I will ask my sister again, or else, I will tell the cops that she is the one who is the mastermind of what happened to that bitch.”
I understand that I was the one that she was mentioning. I'm the bitch that she was referring to. I tried to calm myself so much. This was the reason why Maxine was so aggressive. She was an addict, and I think I needed to do something for her so she would know the lesson for killing my daughter.
“Maxine, didn't you feel any guilt when you killed that baby? You know, we will have our baby, and I don't want that to happen to our child.”
“I was high that time. Beatrice made me use a lot of powder so I can't control myself anymore. Whenever the baby was crying a lot, I felt that I was possessed by an evil creature. That's why I was so angry with the baby that time. I felt guilty, but Beatrice told me that I shouldn't and as a reward, she gave me those things again. I was so high that I forgot that I killed that ugly creature.” Maxine answered, which made me want even more to throw the cabbage that I was holding. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
So, it was Beatrice all along. She knew that Cassandra was Andrius' child so she made sure that Maxine would kill her. What about Stanley? I don't understand why they killed Stanley.
“Are you sure about what you have found out? I think I know that bitch. She was the one who slapped me at the mall while I was buying some clothes. I still can't believe that she had dared to slap me.” Aiza bit her lips to prevent herself from her frustration. She smacked the table, and angrily gasped.
“That bitch, I will fucking make sure that she will rot in hell,” Aiza added, so Aiza told me about her plans. I listened to all of her plans, and she was excited to help me with everything that I needed.
“Let's see if she will not panic once an article about her addictions comes out from nowhere.” Aiza smirked, and giggled when she heard her phone ring. Aiza jumped, and I was surprised to see her so happy.
“Ahmmpp..” Aiza giggled like a teenager who received a call from her crush. I felt happy for her, and I hope that she will be happy forever.
“What are you doing? Aiza, you look like a worm that has put salt in it. You kept moving back and forth.” I couldn't stop myself from telling her about what I think. But instead of getting irritated Aiza smiled, and gave me a lovable wink.
The next day, when I went to the coffee shop, I checked some needed articles on social media. The headline was so fascinating that I wanted to read it.
It was about Maxine, the sister of Beatrice. I wanted to salute Aiza for having that information. How could she find that information so easily?
“It looks like you finally had your Karma, bitch.” It looked like Aiza was more powerful than I expected. I still remembered how I didn’t have the power to fight with them, and now I was hoping that my daughter and Stanley would get the justice that they needed.
“Oh! Maxine has a lot of issues that she needs to fix now. Maxine, don’t you dare escape from me.” I mumbled, and laughed at the same time. My phone rang, and I found out where Maxine was. Aiza made sure that we would know where Maxine was.
My forehead creased when I saw that Maxine was going to the place where I am now. I took my sunglasses, and even the mask so I could hide myself. My eyes widened when I saw how
mad Maxine was, and she looked like she was too ready to kill someone.
