So Maria had not died.

I read further, shocked to discover that Maria had later been granted life in imprisonment with parole, but there was no news to state why the judge had suddenly changed his verdict.

My stomach twisted, still reeling from shock.

But then, Maria was hospitalized after a visit from my dad, and on that same day, my father had disappeared.

Was there a connection to all these?

And three years ago, Ethan had pretended to have magically fallen in love with Natasha, only to break it off with her months prior to my dad going missing.

Or was, Ethan involved somehow.

Everything became hazy and nothing made sense again.

  • MARRYING MY STEP-SISTER'S GROOM    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-FOUR : TURN THEM TO DUST

    Jennifer’s drowsy eyes stared at me.Her brows were stained with blood, and the emotion on her face was hard to decipher.‘I hope she doesn’t see through my act,’ I mumbled to myself. Smiling sadly at her, I bent to her level helping her up.Her blood clung to me staining my clothes.I could feel cameras taking pictures of us, while muttering under their breaths of how much of a saint I was, helping the woman who wished me death.With the help of my driver, I took her in my car.I turned to Jennifer who was already drowsy on the chair as I feigned confusion.“Where is your house Mrs Blackwood?I’ll drop you off, you don’t look so good,” I said innocently.She opened her eyes, calling the location of the Blackwoods mansion.A place I already had engraved at the back of my mind.I forced a smile, turning to my driver, giving him the location.I helped Jennifer in the house, playing the perfect role of a good samaritan.I unwrapped the sleeping pills I had brought with me earlier, putti

    Jennifer trembled, her panic stricken face looking at the women gathered before her as she struggled to get her hair away from the woman’s strong grip.“No, don't you dare.My husband is Ethan Blackwood, he would…”“PAA!” The sound of a sharp slap echoed through the room, as one of the women’s hands landed harshly on her face.My lips parted in surprise at the flaring red mark on Jennifer’s cheeks as that delicious feeling of seeing her suffer filled me.“You still have the nerve to talk, you evil witch.I can only just imagine how long you have been deceiving the world to be an angel when you have been hiding your true and dark side all these years,” she hissed, spitting on Jennifer’s face.I gasped this time, my eyes wide with amusement seeing the spit dribble down Jennifer’s lashes to her cheeks.‘I really have outdone myself this time,’ I thought smugly.I stood still, watching keenly as the women dragged her outside the restaurant.One of them moved to grab a stick, hauling it to

    My face twisted in confusion as I watched her.Then I muttered. “Is there something I’m missing Jennifer?”I asked, looking clueless.Her lips curled sharply.I watched as a deranged glint lit up in her eyes as she completely lost her composure.‘Perfect,‘ I muttered to myself, knowing it was taking effect already.I flinched the moment her hands whipped our table harshly, the glass of water laying on it tumbled to the ground and everyone froze.All eyes turned to face us, but Jennifer could barely notice because she was too focused on me.“Do you think I’m a fool?I’ve seen through your acting, Leah.You came here pretending to be Aveline, just because you want to steal Ethan away from me,” she screamed at the top of her lungs.My eyes widened in panic, as fake tears clouded my vision.I made sure to put on my best act of helplessness as I muttered. “What are you talking about, Jennifer?Why would you say something like that,” I paused, my voice choking with emotions and I could fee

    A smug smile made its way to my face the moment Jennifer’s voice filtered through the call.I took in a deep breath, knowing she had fallen into my ploy.She fell for the message, just like I predicted.“Hello, Aveline,Are you there?” She said, snapping me out of my thoughts.“Oh yes, Jennifer,Of course I’m free for you.I’ll text you the address of where we can meet ,” I muttered, sounding excited.Her words faded as I ended the call.‘Ahh, Jennifer.I’m so sure you must be burning with fear and anger at the same time.And your curiosity to know if I really I’m Leah, it must be making you spiral over the edge. By the time I’m done with you, you’ll wish you never crossed me in the first place.And then, you’ll beg to rewind time and ensure your daughter never harmed my children.’My phone vibrated on my hands bringing me back to the present.I looked at the caller ID answering the call as Killian’s voice filtered through.“I’ve gotten Ashley and Ashton’s school teacher.What do you

    JENNIFER’S POV“No…no…this can’t be happening,” I stuttered.My hands trembled, my vision blurred as my head grew fuzzy with panic and fear.My fingers flew across the key board, and it was a surprise I was even able to put out words. “Who are you?And what do you want?” My heart pounded erratically on my chest as I watched the message show only one tick.Panic filled me knowing what it meant. The person must have blocked me.I could feel my body vibrating, and I was on the verge of spiraling over the edge.I transferred the number to my other phone as I placed it on call.But the moment I did and the call went through, the number completely disappeared.And right before my eyes, I watched as my entire phone went blank.Fear gripped me, overriding my senses as everything swirled around my eyes.Then, that fear morphed into anger filled with panic.“I won’t allow this to happen!I won’t!” I yelled, throwing my phones across the room.I watched as it flew in the direction of the door

    Jennifer stared at me strangely, as she snapped in a biting tone.“Why are you asking?” She watched as something flickered through my eyes, and I stared as she recollected herself, as if just realizing what she said.“I mean, yes, she is obviously me and Ethan’s daughter.After all, we are married.Ethan and Kayla share the same blood,” she muttered proudly, watching the blank look on my face.‘Kayla,’ I repeated the name in my head, memorizing the name of Ethan’s child.But then, internally, my chest twisted painfully.So tightly that I could hardly breathe, and I had to part my lips lightly to gasp out air.Ethan fathered a child with Jennifer.What did I expect from a man like him?I should have done more investigations on his family before coming here.They were smart in hiding their child from the public.I could feel my hands tightening around my phone as his words from five years ago filtered in my mind.‘You are not worthy of bearing my heir.’My lips curled slightly in a smi
