☆Samira☆The worthless trio ran away like startled rats in a kitchen, and I knew precisely where to track them down, though I had instructed my men to hold back.I still had moves to make.I got dressed and summoned Travis to accompany me on a shopping spree.“Shopping in public?” he questioned, surprise evident in his voice.I turned to him, taken aback by his audacity to challenge my orders. “Yes, Travis. Most of my outfits don’t accommodate the bulletproof vests I have to wear,” I replied.He exited the room in silence, only to return moments later with Vin.“Just tell us your new sizes, and we’ll send a stylist here for a fitting,” Vin proposed.I brushed him off and grabbed my handbag, unwilling to let this confrontation ruin my mood.He seized my wrist, forcing me to stop.I closed my eyes, forcing back the anger that was on the verge of erupting out of me. I looked up at him, my eyes wide with shock.“Even though the FBI found no evidence linking you to
☆Kate☆I walked to him slowly, the atmosphere around me felt heavy as I shoved the phone into his pathetic face, forcing him to watch his own foolishness.“She played you like a fool!” I shouted, shoving the screen closer. “She was recording you, just waiting to expose your embarrassment to the world!” I spat, relishing the sight of his expression crumbling under the weight of his own stupidity.I was itching to slap him, but there was a more pressing issue at hand.I scanned the room, my eyes darting around.She was watching usIt made sense now, no wonder she had so easily torn apart everything we had built.She was watching us all this time.“You messed up!” I yelled at the ceiling. “I’m going to find those cameras, you worthless witch! I know it’s you!”I swiftly ended the video and dialed my mother. “Mom, she’s got cameras in here, she’s been spying on us,” my voice trembled.“You need to get out of the house, pack only the essentials, leave your phones behind, buy burne
☆Daniel☆"Since when did you become so relentless?" her message popped up, lifting the heavy burden that had been pressing on my chest for weeks.It felt like a long awaited prayer had finally been answered. I glanced around, half expecting an audience to witness my excitement, but I managed to keep my composure.A response.I needed to respond, but words eluded me.After a month of waiting, her reply had finally arrived. I knew she was finally going to drop the childish games."Hey, you finally came to your senses.." I started to type, but hesitated, second guessing myself.This was going to irritate her.I quickly erased the message.This was my one shot."Hi, how have you been? I've been worried about you," I typed instead and hit send.Then came the waiting, anxiety eating at me."Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" she replied, leaping me off my seat in excitement.In that moment my heart didn’t just skip a beat, it did a full backflip. I was almost jumping u
☆Samira☆“Thank you, it’s a privilege to be here,” I greeted the tenth hand that reached out to me.“Thank you!”“Thank you , thank you very much!” another hand greeted me.I had no clue who these people were, all I knew was that they belonged to the “Linda Women for Change” organization, a non profit created and nurtured by Linda herself.I was done with Daniel, and the revenge had grown dull, so I found myself in Linda's bedroom, indulging in a bit of amusement while they were preoccupied with lawsuits and fighting to lift the shut down. Norwood Seaworld was finished. No sum of money could bring it back to life. Any sensible investor would steer clear of such a sinking ship.Wins upon wins. The icing of it all was that I was still alive to witness it all, and it was a sight to behold. If I were to meet my end today, I wouldn’t have any regrets…or would I?That thought made me pause as I greeted the last member and expressed my gratitude to them all.Truth be t
☆Kate☆As I slid into the driver’s seat, my mother following from behind Her voice cut through the air as she urged me to stop. But the anger brewing within me urged me forward, fixated on one singular thought,Samira needed to die.That wretched excuse for a person needed to die.I should have killed her four years ago.With a jolt, I started the engine.“Kate! Kate! You need to listen to me!” Mom yelled, her hand gripping the steering wheel like a lifeline.“Let go, Mom! Just let go!” I tried to push her off. She released her grip but retaliated with a sharp slap that stung like ice, snapping my senses back to reality.“No daughter of mine will rush into danger like a madwoman and fall into her enemy's trap!” she yelled in my face.I took a moment to steady my breath.“We’re heading to your brother's place to follow his instructions,” she declared, her voice rising as she ordered me into the passenger seat.Reluctantly, I moved, my lips trembling. I had a lot of words
☆Kate☆It was Samira.It had to be her.This was no mere twist of fate.The ship on fire, ghosts haunting the decks, and the crew refusing to return to their posts.It all pointed to her.That vengeful woman was behind it all, yet Daniel was blind, locked away in his office, yelling over the phone for over an hour.At last, I sensed a shift in how he was handling the stones Samira was throwing at us. Even his mother was on the phone, her voice raised, though I couldn't tell who she was yelling at. This was the action they needed to take, not just idly sitting by while that witch dismantled everything we had.I stood up. I was not going to sit idle either. I was off to meet my mother for coffee. Grabbing my keys, I drove to a beachside café.It was the perfect spot for private discussions, away from prying ears. Upon arrival, I spotted my mother tucked away in a corner, enjoying the ocean view.I approached her and took a seat, diving straight into the matter
