~Mercedes I clenched my fists in anger and charged toward Troy. "What the heck do you mean by that, Troy?" I demanded. "What are you trying to say? That I'm a bad person simply because I tried to let you know the kind of woman you're helping? Because I wanted to open your eyes to the truth?" Before I could finish, Claire shook her head in disappointment. My eyes locked onto hers as she spoke. "Stop twisting the facts to suit yourself, Mercedes." My eyes blazed with fury. "And what the fuck do you mean by that?" I shot back, pretending I had no idea what she was talking about. Claire let out a scoff. "I thought I told you never to pull that bullshit with my brother, Mercedes." I remained silent while her sharp gaze swept over me. "I made it crystal clear that you were never to repeat with my brother what you tried to do to me. I also told you to leave this place and stay the fuck away from him." Her voice grew colder with every word. "But you ignored my warning. You came her

~MercedesMia's question hit harder than I expected. It was almost depressing because I had no idea how I was supposed to answer her.In fact, everything around me had gone completely wrong.Not only had my plan to manipulate Claire against Mia failed, but my attempt to make Troy throw Mia out of his life had failed too.So what was the point of standing here and listening to more accusations from her?Unable to endure another second of her relentless words, I decided to save both of us the trouble.I shot her an agitated glare before saying sharply,"You are the one feeding yourself all these lies and convincing yourself that I'm after your life when, in reality, I have nothing against you!""You and I both know you're lying, Mercedes..." Mia started, but I dismissed her with a shrug before she could finish."And how is that supposed to be my business?" I fired back. "Whether you believe me or not, I honestly don't give a flying fuck. But one thing you need to understand is that I do

52. Where Is She?

~MiaWatching Mercedes walk out of that hospital ward without so much as a scratch was the very thing I regretted most at that moment.That girl had the nerve to lie straight to people's faces simply because she hated me and wanted nothing more than to ruin my name and destroy my reputation.The audacity.Not only did she not care that the person she was lying about was still alive and capable of exposing the truth, but she also lied without giving a single thought to the consequences her lies could bring.The more I thought about it, the tighter my chest became.Suddenly, a gentle touch on my hand pulled me out of my thoughts.Startled, I looked up and found Troy standing beside me."Are you okay?" he asked, his eyes searching mine with concern. "Did Mercedes' words get to you? Is there... maybe anything you need?"I slowly shook my head.The moment I did, tears began gathering at the corners of my eyes.My mind drifted back to everything that had happened earlier.I remembered how M

53. Where Are You Going?

~OvireAfter everything I went through at Marj's hands, if anyone had told me I would survive, I would never have believed them.I lived through hell because of that man.We were married for five years, but those five years were filled with nothing but pain, humiliation, suffering, and the constant torment of watching him bring other women into our matrimonial home.I couldn't complain. How could I?Every single time I tried to speak, he would shut me down, reminding me that as a woman, my place was in the kitchen and nowhere else.I endured his cruelty for five long years.You might be wondering, "Why didn't you report him to the authorities and have him arrested?"Believe me, I wished it were that simple.But some things are far easier said than done.How was I supposed to report him when Marj had countless people working for him within the police force? He came from a wealthy and influential family. Every time I threatened to leave the marriage, or even hinted at reporting him, he

~OvireThe sharp voice that came from behind me suddenly brought my steps to an abrupt halt.I froze for a moment, quickly composing myself as though nothing had happened before turning around to see who had stopped me.It wasn't surprising.It was Mia.The moment I saw her, I didn't know what to do or say. My lips quivered. My mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but no words came out.Then she spoke."Don't tell me you're planning to run away from here. You're leaving, aren't you?"Not wanting to make her feel bad, I had no choice but to lie."No... leave? No. I wasn't planning on doing that."Mia stared at me from head to toe without saying a word. It was as though she found it difficult to believe me. After silently studying me for a few seconds, she simply shrugged."Okay then, if you say so."She let out a deep sigh before continuing."I think Troy wants to speak with you. You should come. He wants to see you."That was an offer I couldn't possibly reject.I quickly nodded."Okay
