CHAPTER 40- EMERGENCY

ARIEL POV

'Why the hell will she blame you for the calamity that befell her?'

'Don't fall for her trick. Don't think of helping her. Karma is a bitch. She got what she deserved.'

I shook my head, trying to block the numerous thoughts coming into my head. At that moment, I realized I had been standing for some seconds.

"I do not believe in Karma. I would like to follow the good principles." I mused.

I breathe in and out gently, holding unto the shopping bag in between my hands. I began walking towards the shopkeeper, as I asked her to help keep the clothes meant for Eva. She accepted, leaving me with choices, either to look for Lucille or Daniel.

I wasn't sure what came over me, but I just can't stop the images of Lucille's swollen face on my mind. She must have been going through a lot in the hands of that monster.

I kept walking down the mall, not until I noticed a familiar face flirting with another woman. My eyes widened, and I felt furious just staring at the two of them.
