Lahat ng Kabanata ng Her Perfect Revenge : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

I watched silently as the sound of the ticking clock repeated its rhymes. I was still in bed, and it was almost my wake-up time.I had awoken earlier than I used to. This alone seemed to me like a huge sign and indication of something I couldn't even lay my hand on just yet. Shoving my long fingers through my hair, I sat up in my bed, my head drenched in thoughts of all Freda had uncovered.I wanted so badly to connect the dots; I wanted so badly to have my revenge, even if it meant getting on Thane's side.But I didn't know getting on his side and having my revenge would prove this hard. I pushed myself out of my silky bed into the washroom.As the showers of water flowed all over my body, it was to me a huge relief. My head ached already, from the raging thoughts I was having.I found myself talking to myself as I had my bath, "You can do this, Gianna, get with Thanes, make him a friend, get with Thorn if you wish, just have allies that would help you through" I said to myself, wipi

I was in utter shock, I soliloquized, refusing to believe that Freda was gone. As I rode on to the hospital, my hands were shaking as I held on to the steering; tears poured down my now red face; my make-up was messed up.I didn't care. All I wanted in that moment was to hear her sweet frail voice again, the warmth I felt whenever I got home. She made home, home to me. Her kind and sincere words of love and advice! I didn't want to accept the fact that I was never getting all of that again.She had always joked around with me, "You might fume, you might freak, you might get mad when I offer my advice, but you'll sure miss me when I'm gone!" She had joked most of the time. And boy was I missing her! She was one of the few persons who would tell me the truth to my face, not minding what I chose to make out of it.She just always believed that one was safer with the truth, no matter how bitter it was. Sitting in the reception hall. I couldn't put myself together.I was weeping profusely,

"This has to be between the both of us." I let out, "Sure, you can bank on me." She assured me, "I need to do something, and I need to do it quickly.""What exactly are you talking about?" She asked, her eyes widening. "I need to find Mia." I blurted, a stern look pasted on my face."That's a herculean task, you know." She said, "Exactly why I need your help. You're in the medical field and you would most likely know how I'm supposed to go about this." I said, trying to avoid being explicit.""What I would suggest is, you go undercover, plot a better plan. One that wouldn't involve risking one's job. I hope you understand what I mean." She advised."I don't understand, is that how much of a risk it is to you?" I asked, scratching my chin in displeasure, but I didn't have a choice."I could lose my license. If I help you kill or sedate someone." She stated. "And who says I was asking you to kill or sedate anyone?!" I defended, looking squarely at her."I could already understand. But w

"What does her name matter to you?" He asked, I was now getting up to leave. "Leaving already?" He asked, looking up at me. "Yeah, I am." I let out hurriedly. "You should have stayed a while, I have a friend coming over, you both can work together too." He said. "That's okay, but I'll pass," I said, storming out of the club, my feet smashing hard against the stick of cigarette I had in my hand. I looked left, and right, trying to decide where next to go. I headed home now, forgetting Freda wouldn't be home anymore. "Open up' I was about to say before I remembered. It was sad, yet hilarious. "Hello, Gianna" I headed on, my phone in my hand. "Hello. I answered, from the other end of the phone. The voice sounded very familiar, but I was in too much of a doubt to believe. "I'll work with you. I'll do as you said." Jora said on the phone, her voice shaking. "Oh! Thanks!" I exclaimed, excited. "Yeah, I thought long about everything and I figured it'd be my uttermost honor to work with you

"The only thing I can think of is the fact that she was in pain, she was suffering from a terminal disease like I told you," I explained, looking queerly at him. "That's just a lead, we need to get to the root of the matter." He added, looking intently at me."I spoke with her bosses, those she worked for, and they said she was very fine the day before," I said, I could see through to the fact that he wasn't satisfied. "I know that Freda was ill, but I don't know of any complaint from work. She enjoyed her work as much as I knew.Days had now passed and I hadn't seen Thane at the office. His father, Nox now had two offices, his and theirs. I wanted to ask what the problem was but I didn't even know where to start from or how it'll come off to him, so I let it slide.I received a call from a strange number. I was glad and sure it might be Thane, "Hello, Gianna dear, how are you doing?" The voice asked. "I-I am okay, who's on the phone please?" "This is Gloria, I know you don't know me
