Everything was happening all at once now. The irritating voice kept on calling her name, and poor Mira, who didn't know she was about to die by Alison! Kept on calling for her attention too.

Suddenly, something overpowered Alison, and like a horror movie character being possessed by the devil himself, she began advancing to the door. Her purse was now clutching on to her arms as she reached for the door to shut it tight.

"Wait there, I'm on my way." She said to whoever the hell was on the phone now. Whether Mira or Lily.

The address of the bar was sent to her by Mira, and within a couple of minutes, the taxi arrived at the entrance. Why was she still feeling so enraged like this?

She didn't even take a moment to heave in a deep breath before bouncing in like she owned the bar. She could feel a few faces fall on her as she walked in, but Alison was determined to find Mira and Lily.

A familiar voice called out her name.

Mira.

When she turned, her eyes met with the demoness herself. Nothing much had really changed about her. She still had this sweet innocent look, and her hairstyle remained the same low cut Bob style. Though she looked a lot more prettier with traces of facial surgeries like her lips appearing more fuller and eyes popping out a little more.

A proud smile rested on her face as soon as Alison arrived next to her. And the next thing that happened made Alison completely puzzled at how much nerves Lily could have possibly developed. How dare her??

Lily jumped up and pulled Alison into a warm hug as if nothing had ever happened before them! "Hey love! It's been so long."

Alison could see Mira cheering with a full smile as she watched the scene. Dumb foolish Mira.

Feeling mixed emotions, Alison decided to maybe act along? She was honestly confused.

"I've been telling your friend over here how we used to be cool back then." Lily said, smiling back at Mira.

"Yes she has said a lot about you! She does know you, in and out. I must say." Mira said happily.

Alison's face was calm, but this look in her eyes was murderous. "Can you believe it?" She said. Now, the strength to face her past was coming back slowly. "Then why did you report me to the dark man? If we used to be friends, Lily?"

Mira frowned, likewise the smile on Lily's face began to melt away.

"Wait, what do you mean ma'am?" Mira asked.

"Well I'm sure--" Lily started to say but Alison took in the pleasure of shutting her up with a fiery slap.

This caused a loud gasp from Mira and some other people around too had to take a closer look at what had just happened. Alison on the other hand? She felt no regret at all.

"If you say any more words, I will just have to hit you again." She said boldly.

Lily looked shocked. Surprised that Alison would have the nerve to hit her like that. Then still holding her cheeks, she began to laugh. "Wow, I didn't know you had it in you."

"Notice how her tone had transformed into the back stabbing bitch she initially is?" Alison looked at Mira and said. The young lady could only nod in response.

"It's been three fucking years! Others would think you would have grown up and just moved on already." Lily spat out.

"I have moved on. Can't you see?" Alison said. "I came here to see you because I'd like to send you back to Brad and his monsters of family."

"Send me back? The nerve of you...." Lily scowled.

"Nerve or me? Should we talk about your bold ass daring to call me here like we should kiss and hug things out?"

All this while, Mira was paying attention to the whole scenario. What had she done? How was she supposed to know this lady isn't friends with Alison as she had lied to be! Was she going to be in trouble now?

"I was hoping that we really would work things out. After our last chat, I just felt like I needed to be the bigger person and calm your anger!" Lily said.

Alison was disgusted by this, and clearly couldn't even hide the horror in her eyes. "Bigger person? You make me laugh, Lily. Our last chat, you chased me out of my own house like a dog! And threw out my stuff through the window."

It was a painful memory for Alison. After experiencing the whole betrayal, she still went back home with the hope that Brad would come up with some sort of smart explanation! Only to be visited by Lily acting like the new owner of the mansion.

"I didn't know that--that...oh come on, Ali, I loved Brad and he loved me too! You shouldn't blame me for that." Cried out Lily.

Alison stood confidently before Lily, and even though Lily was taller, Alison maintained a bold posture that towered all over Lily.

"You and your pathetic little in-laws are back in town. You're free to do whatever miserable things you want to, but you do not get to cross the line with me. I won't just sit and watch as you step all over me. I'm not the same poor orphan Alison I used to be back then."

Lily gave it a long thought...well, she just stood still like a statue and gazed upon the sternness in Alison's eyes. Finally, she looked down, biting her lower lips in defeat.

"I'll leave now. Clearly you're still being such a pussy. I'll come back when you're all grown up!" And with that, she picked to her heels, running like someone was chasing her.

Moments of silence passed by, Alison had sat down and ordered a heavy shot of whiskey, and drank two rounds before she made her announcement.

"You're fired, Mira." She said in a low and quiet tone. Then got up to her feet and walked out of the bar.

On her way out, her phone rang and she picked it up to answer the call. "Oh hey, hello. Is everything going to be ready before then?"
