"Because you always thought you were better than me!" She screams and the tears in her eyes break loose. The flow down her cheeks like a waterfall. "I... I..." Her voice catches in her throat. "I can never forget the day our father brought my mum andto the house. How you looked atwith the sdisdain you complain aboutlooking at you with. How you and the other children around did not want to talk tofor the first few weeks. I had to work very hard to win them over. I had to work extra hard to win our father's heart as well. You were the jewel of the pack. Everyone loved you. They all adored you. Treated you like a princess. I wanted that. I wanted everything you had and I knew if I worked hard. If I just... worked... hard..." she sniffles tears and swallows hard. "I'd get it. That's why I turned your friends against you. That's why I made sure my mother influenced our father to always pay more attention towhen your mother left. I worked hard and I got what I wanted!" "You call that hard work?" I ask in total disbelief, raising my voice as well. My body is vibrating with anger after hearing what she just said. I want to reach out for her face and claw her flash with my nails. I want to rip these bars apart and meet her there, give her the beating of her life. She made my life a living hell in my own father's house for this stupid reason? Unbelievable! "That's no form of hard work. That's you causing damage to other people and stealing what does not belong to you! That's wrong!" "You will never understand!" She shouts, shaking her head. Her face is completely drenched with tears and I'm trying hard to keep mine at bay. "Even if I explain from now till the next full moon, you'll never understand the reason for my actions." At first, I used to think her mother was the bad one. The one who influenced Rhea's behavior towards me, but I just found out that's not the case. Rhea simply followed her mother's path. She has a mind of her own and has beceven more evil than her mother.
It was just a matter of tbefore she killedout of jealousy.
I no longer feel sorry for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You are right. I will never understand the reason for your actions and I don't want to. I'm happy you've been caught and I look forward to seeing you get punished for your crimes. For Alina, I'll handle her. Just like you, she'll be caught. I'll make sure of that." "You'll catch her only if you survive what she has planned for you." "You're still rooting for her even after she betrayed you." I chuckle bitterly. "Your loyalty is refreshing. I hope you have a great there." I flash her a tight small and spin on my heels.
As I walk away, I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders and the tight feeling in my chest is gone. We needed this clash to clear the air between us and now that I know the reason why she hates me, I feel better about myself.
I'm not a nobody. She only used to callthat to make herself feem better.
One down, one to go!
