I stepped out of the taxi and looked at the house in front of me. It's not as big and beautiful as my grandfather's mansion but it's already enough to be called home. This is way better than living in jail for 7 years.The front door opened and Silver came out, she ran towards me with a big smile on her face. "You're finally here!" she exclaimed as she gave me a hug. She still has her charming look and sweet voice, just like how I remember her the last time she visited me in jail.
Silver is my bestfriend and she became my eyes and ears to my family for the past 7 years that I'm in jail. She helped me so much with everything.
We went inside of her house and continued our conversation about my plan. "So, I have found our first target," she declared as we sit on the couch of her living room.
"Who is he?" I asked
"His name is Klyde Aero Morrison. A multi-billionaire man and a VERY successful CEO of his own company," she stated
Just as I thought that she was done, she exclaimed, "And! He. Is. So. Hot! and absolutely---Handsome!" she shrieked
I almost covered my ears because of her high pitch voice. "I'm looking for someone who can help me, not a boyfriend-material," I complain
"Yeah. Yeah. I know that. But just consider his hotness as a bonus," she teased
I took a deep sigh. "You think he can help me?" I asked
"Absolutely!" she answered. "He would definitely help you!--- I think? Hehe. But! I know---I can feel it. That he's the one who can help you," she confidently said
"And if he didn't help me?" I asked just to make sure that were having a Plan B in case this failed.
After seconds of being silence she finally answered, "Then we'll go start looking for another guy." I just nodded.
"Tonight, he's going to the bar because he's meeting some people there," she announced"Looks like you've gone through deep research about this man," I interrupted
She scoffed, "You know me. I'm the best," she proudly said as she touched her chest. She praised herself.
She saw me rolling my eyeballs. "Can't you just tell me that I did a great job?" she complain, arching her right eyebrows at me
I laugh a bit because of her reaction. "Yeah. You did a GOOD job," I tease, emphasizing the word 'good' to annoy her more
"Good?!" she exclaimed, I was starting to laugh. "I did a GREAT job. I was GREAT," she defended
I burst into laughter because of her reaction. "I was just teasing, Silver. Calm down," I said
"You did a great job," I complimented her
"That's right," she proudly said
"Hey. Let's go shopping later. I need to buy some new clothes for tonight," I changed our topic.
"To-night? What's up tonight?" she asked, completely clueless
"I'm going to introduce myself to that Klyde Morrison," I said in a tone that makes her remember what she said earlier about that Klyde having a meeting at the bar.
"Woah! Woah!" she reacted surprisedly. "Aren't you gonna get some rest first before you proceed with your plan?" she askedI shrugged my head to say 'No'. "I've waited almost 7 years for this moment to come, that's why I won't waste any second just to get my revenge," I confidently said making up my mind
I've been stuck in jail for 7 years because of a crime that I didn't commit. And now that I'm free, all I wanted is revenge for the injustice that has happened to me. They're so gonna pay for it. But of course, as of now, I'm still lack of power. That's why I need help.
I saw Silver nodded because of amusement to my courage. "So, shopping later?" she giggled
"Yup!" I replied. "I've got a man to impress."
Erica's POV"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Klyde asked. I could see in his eyes that he's so worried.I shook my head. "N-no. He didn't saw me and he didn't approach me either." He exhaled loudly out of relief.We went inside his mansion. I tried to calm myself down while Klyde is doing some phonecalls with someone I don't know. He seems tensed and irritated."Erica," Klyde called, he's finished with his phonecalls. I immediately turn to him. He sat on the couch across me. "I have a couple of big news for you. Can you handle it?"I got curious because of his question but then I nodded."Let's start with the man that killed Madeline... Tiger has been tracing him for weeks already before you saw him earlier--- but he's just so mysterious. He goes around the city and different provinces using different names and sometimes different disguises and identities. He has three criminal records in his three different identities.""Why didn't the police arrested him?" I asked. "He's good at hi
Erica's POV"We will miss you, Aila."My co-janitresses hugged me tightly for the last time. I resigned today. It was for my own good."I'll pay a visit. And besides, we can still hang out some times," I said as we let go of our hug. They were in a circle form in front of me, all staring at me sadly. "Thank you, guys." For the first and last time as Aila Miller, I smiled to them."Take care, girl," said Anne. I just nodded to them before I leave the janitors quarters. I'm gonna miss them. I only spent a coouple of months with them but I had a great time. And because of them, I realized one thing... that I can be truely happy with those people who really accepts me even though they don't have the riches.As I was walking by the lounge area, someone held me by the arm and grabbed me to an empty meeting room. When I finally saw who it was, I rolled my eyes. Zoe."I know you're resigning but don't tell to anyone my secret. Okay?" she uttered firmly, warning me."What will I do to your sec
Erica's POVThe next day was normal to me. But my mind was completely somewhere else.Since Klyde insisted, he performed the DNA test between Alice and Zoe. Speaking of Alice, she's getting better now. And by Friday, I'm going to resign. All was going in our plan... except for this thing.While I was moping the floor, someone stood right in front of me so I looked up to him and saw Matthew. I was startled by his sudden appearance but I didn't show it. "G-good morning, Sir Matthew," I greet politely using the Aila Miller's voice.He was looking at me like I did a crime to him. "Come with me to my office." My forehead creased on what he said. "I need you to clean something there."Without any other word, he turn his back to me and started walking away. With my head crowded in thoughts, I followed him. When I entered his office, he was already sitting on his office chair so I started mopping the floor."Erica."My eyes went w
CHAPTER 22Erica's POV"I know I'm ugly stop it," I said lazily. He let out a chuckle and leans back to his seat."Ehem." We both looked at the waiter whose carying a glistening tray contaning our order. Well, Klyde ordered a lot and I know that this is just the appetizer. "Here are your orders, ma'am and sir." We watch him gently put the dishes on our table.Even though I really want to appreciate the beauty of these expensive dishes, I can't. I sighed heavily. I used to visit five star restaurants before and taste these foods with perfection. How I miss those good old days. How I miss my old self."Eat. You'll get prettier," said Klyde when the waiter walks away. I rolled my eyeballs again and started eating.I was in the midst of appreciating the taste of the dish when a thought popped up to my mind.Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait!!!Is this--- perhaps... a date?!?!I swallowed hard and looked up to him. He paused
Erica's POVAlice is just a young and innocent little girl. But because of my family, she grew up realizing that the world is dark and filled with cruelty."I need Alice's toothbrush," I said casually to Alisson. I've been here for the past two hours, helping Alisson take care of Alice. She's getting better but still needs some rest. That's why me and Alisson talked on the living room.I saw how her forehead knotted and shot me with questioning eyes, "Why?""For a DNA test," I answered as I sit on the couch, facing her. "I have an idea on who could her mother be.""T-that's a good thing." She smiled but it didn't reached her ears, it's almost a faint smile.Before I leave, Alisson handed me Alice's toothbrush and in return I gave her the new toothbrush that I bought earlier. I gave them both farewell before I leave and ride on a taxi and went straight to Silver's house."Does Tyler know a doctor who can perform a DNA tes
Erica's POV"At least now, we prooved that it's the real hard drive your looking for," Klyde mentioned as he handed me the glass of water.I immediately accept it and drink from it. After I cried so hard, Klyde managed to calm me down. I could say that he knows how to pampered and calm down a woman's heart. He accompany me to sit on the couch and assisted me. For the first time around, I felt that he's actually a caring man.Also, maybe enough to be trusted."I need to tell you something," I spoke, putting back the glass on the mini table in front of us. I looked to my right, facing him. "There's a witness on Madeline's death. And I know her. I know where she lives, and I know how she'd have been," I said courageously."Excuse me, Miss Miller, but are you talking about the woman who hides behind the boxes and witnessed the murder?"
