Wages of Jealousy Chapter 9
"Don't get cocky, Ellen! I still have a chance! As long as I'm still alive, I'll always have another one! Sooner or later, I'll make everyone see what you really are! Then we'll see who still buys your act!" As the police dragged her away, Wendy looked back at me with a vicious grin. "I had someone compare your horoscope with my cousin's. They said you're a perfect match. Just wait! My aunt will come for you sooner or later." Watching Wendy rant like a madwoman, I suddenly found her to be so pitiful. She had been part of my entire youth, my very best friend. I had never known that she found our friendship so ugly. Still, her warning proved useful. A few days later, the police spotted Linda sneaking around near my home. When they caught her, Linda screamed in panic. "The police are bullying an old woman! Is that all you're good for?!" When she saw me, she shouted even louder. "So it's you, you witch! I knew you were no good! You called the police on your own mother-in-law?

"Wendy? What are you doing?" I almost yelled at her. Wendy toyed with the duct tape in her hand. "Should I tie you up and leave you here until you're nothing but a mummy? Or rip off your cast and leave you to fend for yourself?" Seeing the madness in her eyes, I knew she was not joking. "Wendy, I don't understand why you're doing this. I don't know what I ever did to make you hate me. You've always been my best friend." "Enough!" Wendy screamed before I could finish. "Don't call me your best friend. You make me sick! I hate all that act about you the most! Best friend? You only kept me around to make yourself look better!" Her eyes grew wide with madness. She seemed to lose herself in the past. I remembered what my ex-classmate from high school had told me and explained. "I know what this is about. You're still angry about that school performance, aren't you? I wasn't trying to steal your spot. The teacher told me to go onstage." At that, Wendy's eyes flew wide, as if it

I still remembered our teachers saying we were like twins. We even went to the bathroom together between classes. We had known each other for more than ten years. We went to the same university, interviewed for jobs together after graduation, spent weekends together, binge-watched dramas together, and even followed the same celebrities. What kind of grudge could she possibly have against me? The more I thought about it, the less sense it made. I went over every detail from that night and still could not figure out why Wendy had done it. I contacted our high school classmates and every friend we usually spent time with, trying to find some reason Wendy had treated me this way. When my dad came back to the hospital, a police officer came with him. Dad said the police had opened a case because they had security footage from the hospital and the parking garage. The officer looked at me in the hospital bed with a stern expression and said, "We've followed the leads you gave us

"Aunt Linda, help me! He's having another episode!" Wendy cried as she ran. Unfortunately, Linda seemed to know her son's condition well. She had already gotten out of sight before Wendy even called out. I took advantage of the distraction. While Caleb chased after Wendy, I limped out of the dark rental apartment with my phone in my hand, struggling through the pain in my leg. There were only a few dim streetlights lighting the dark alley. I kept telling myself that if I could just get out of there, I would be safe. I was lucky. I found a cab as soon as I reached the intersection. Only after I was finally safe did the stabbing pain in my leg hit me. It was so bad that the driver had to help me out of the car. The driver kindly offered to take me to the hospital, but I could not trust anyone by then. I only wanted to see my parents as soon as possible. When I finally got home, my parents were shocked by the sight of me. "What happened to your leg?!" My mom's knees nearly

Repeatedly, Caleb swung the folding chair at Wendy and Linda as if it weighed nothing. Every blow that landed on the two women made a sickening thud. They could only scream and cry as he hit them. "It's me! It's Wendy! I'm your cousin! Why are you hitting me? Stop!" Even Linda's voice no longer sounded the same because of the pain. "What are you doing?! Go to your new bride! Why are you hitting me? Ow!" The more they begged, the harder he hit them. A strange smile appeared on his face. He didn't throw the chair aside until neither of them had the strength to stand or even make a sound. I could see his eyes were filled with madness. I dragged my broken leg and scrambled backward. Seeing me retreat, he grabbed me by the back of my collar. I squeezed my eyes shut in terror, convinced I had finally run into a real psychopath and there was nothing else but to die. To my surprise, he did not do anything else. Instead, he held out one hand. Before I could open my eyes, he spoke. H

The nurses went quiet after hearing what Linda had to say. When Linda saw the nurses were too hesitant to act, she immediately pushed my wheelchair straight toward the elevator. I grabbed the nearest nurse. "I beg you! Please call my family! Please!" The young nurse stumbled when I grabbed her. She had just reached for her phone when someone beside her stopped her. "Are you stupid? Where there's smoke, there's fire. Even if this old woman isn't her mother-in-law, there has to be some connection. Why else would she go to all this trouble?" The young nurse hesitated, unsure what to do, while Linda leaned in close to my ear. "See? No one believes you." As the nurses started to leave, all I could do was shout. "Please, call the police! Please! She isn't my mother-in-law! Please believe me!" "Ellen!" Wendy's voice rang out from the elevator. I reached both hands toward her. "I'm right here!" To my shock, she took my hand and spoke. "Ellen, stop being so stubborn. Go home wit
