HELLO SINNERS, IT'S TIME FOR RECKONING A Heart in Ruins
Carla’s POV. I felt a blade slicing through my soul – sharp, precise and merciless. My breath caught in my throat, suffocating my life out of me. “So, I had been his tool all along? He never loved me?” I ruminated as my head spun, with tears streaming down my eyes. My heart raced as I remembered the deception that laid beneath his touch, the smile, his words and promises. “You are crying?” Aunt Stephanie asked as she giggled. “This is not the right time for you to cry. I feel you should postpone it as you will become more hurt, heartbroken and suffocated going forward. Be on the outlook for it, loser” she scoffed before she proceeded to take her leave. The moment she turned to leave, her eyes met with that of Carlos who had been standing behind her all along. Her body language said it all – that she was shocked – that she wasn’t aware of Carlos’ presence. She said some words to Carlos which I didn’t hear, due to the fact that I was withdrawn. I was emotionally drai

Carla’s POV“What? What the hell did you just do?” Aurora yelled as she stomped her feet, with her hand on her cheek.In shock, Catherine rose to her feet and I could sense how terrified she was by my action, from her trembling hand, which hung loosely beside her.“What? I don’t have the right to slap you but you have the right to belittle my daughter and I in the presence of this whore? You must be a joker” I scoffed with my finger pointed at Catherine, whose hand was still trembling.“Carla, have you gone nut? How dare you lay your hands on your sister-in-law? Do you even know the implication of what you have done?!!” Aunt Stephanie snapped as she swiftly rose to her feet, as if ready to lung at me.“What? I can’t discipline her? I am only doing what you are suppose to have done as her mother and which obviously, you failed to. Do you even deserve to be called a mum? Because none of your attitude depicts that of one” I spat disgustingly.“What? How dare you question my motherhood?”

Carla’s POV. “You may be his wife, but I have his heart. Do you even have any space in his heart?” Catherine attacked, her comeback stiffening my body and piercing my heart with pain and ache. I halted in my steps, stiffened by her cruel yet truthful words. She was right. His heart belonged to her and I on the other hand, was just a temporary substitute for her. The pain of knowing that the man I loved whole-heartedly, never for once loved me back was indescribable. The pain was like no other – a deep soul-crushing ache, that radiated into every corner of my body. I was furious, infuriated, disdained, lost and helpless. I felt like collapsing onto the floor and crying my eyes out but when I realized that would be me granting Catherine’s desire of seeing me fail, I resisted, sniffing back my tears. I shouldn’t be the one to cry, shouldn’t be the one in pain and agony. They should be because they were the ones who caused my joy to cease. With my fists clenched, I turned

Carla’s POV Night came and as I took each step towards my once abandoned room – our room, which used to be filled with love, my legs became heavy. It had been weeks since I moved out of the room and moving back in there – sleeping with that man on the same bed, felt quite awkward and upsetting. I was scared that I would lose my guard by being in the same space with him, preventing me from getting my revenge on them. Despite him having broken me, I was still so much in love with him and that fact alone made me hate myself. “Why can’t I just stop loving him? Why?” I had questioned myself countless times, feeling frustrated but it took me time to realize that you can’t just stop loving someone you had loved for years, immediately. It takes time for love to fade away and that brought me to the conclusion that Charles’ love for me didn’t end when he came back from the States. The love had faded away from his heart right when he was in the States, but I failed to realize that. Eve

Carla’s POV “Well, what are you going to do Carlos? Will you let go of my hand and take Catherine’s or you would do otherwise?” I stepped closer to him as my dreadful voice whispered into his ear. He swallowed hard out of anxiousness, his hands that hung loosely beside him trembled. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and I could see a mix of fear and hesitation in his eyes. He tried opening his mouth to say something but no matter the number of times he did, his words were caught up in his throat. “Just exactly what I had expected” I scoffed, with me shaking my end in disappointment. “See, you can’t even own up to your mistake. The only thing you can make use of is that thing in between your thighs and not your brain” I ridiculed him. Turning around, I walked out of the room, leaving him to be weighed down by his guilt, indecision and hesitation. As I walked away, I prayed vehemently for him to stop me - to call out to me and beg me not to leave but he didn’t. I did

Carla’s POV That morning was the morning I decided to take my first step towards letting go of Carlos’ hand. I was getting dressed to go to my lawyer’s office to start my divorce process with Carlos, when I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door only to be met with Susan’s always smiley face. “Susan, is anything the problem?” I probed. “Nothing of such Ma’am. Granny just needs your presence in the living room” she responded. “Okay. Tell her I would join her soon” I replied, before closing the door. I hurriedly finished dressing up and rushed to the living room. Upon getting there, I was met with a strange gathering. Every member of the family was seated, including my husband’s mistress. The sight felt strange as I had never seen us all sitting together like that before. I had a bad feeling about the gathering, and it was just as I had felt. “Carla, come. Come have your seat beside me” Granny acknowledged my presence as soon as she saw me. With a confused express

Carla’s POV “Hello. I am here for Miss Catherine Smith. Where is she?” I questioned a Nurse whom I had seen walking by; my voice trembled as I spoke. My breathing was shallow and rapid, scared of the unforeseen. I was standing in the emergency room, looking around to see if I would catch sight of Catherine and her son. “You must be Mrs. Carla, right?” the Nurse, who seemed to know me, asked. “Yes, I am. Where are my sister and her son?” I asked, not minding how the Nurse knew who I was. It was after the words ‘my sister’ left my lips, that I realized how heavy they were. It felt awkward calling her that but at the same time, brought about the sweet memories we had shared together in the past. “I am Nurse Jessica, the one who called you earlier. Your sister is currently undergoing emergency surgery due to the life-threatening injury she sustained. Her injuries are severe and life-threatening, and we can only hope for the best” the Nurse said, making me devastated. “As for her

Carla’s POV “Charge!” the doctor barked orders at the Nurses who seemed disorganized and confused. I stood by the door, my hand gripping the doorknob as I watched Catherine struggle for her life and the medical team trying their possible best to save her. The sight before me pulled me back to the day Mia died. She had gasped the same way Catherine was, desperately wanting to live but how did it end? Death didn’t listen to her pleas and took her way. The monitor began to beep more loudly and erratic, with the nurses running around to save their patient who was between life and death. The doctor kept on placing the electrode pads of the defibrillator on her chest, sending waves of shock to her heart to stabilize its rhythm. But that didn’t yield any positive result. Realizing that it wasn’t heading anywhere, the doctor abandoned the defibrillator and performed CPR. He kept on pressing his palms against her tight chest, sweating profusely. Not long afterwards, I heard the monit

Carla’s POV. “What ...... what did you just say?” my voice shook, and my eyes widened in disbelief. I was still trying to process the shock of what I heard when a voice emerged from the darkness. “Just exactly what you have heard” a terrifying masculine voice replied, sending a chill down my spine. I could hear slow, deliberate footsteps approaching me from behind. Immediately Susan heard the voice and saw the being, she collapsed onto the floor in sheer terror. It was him – our subject of discussion. Finally, the footsteps stopped. I swallowed hard, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. Summoning courage, I turned around to face him but instead of one, I was met with three familiar faces- Aunt Stephanie, Carlos and Catherine. That time around, Catherine wasn’t sitting in her wheelchair- she was standing on her two legs, and it was then I realized that they had all been in the game together right from the onset. Their expression was unreadable, and their gazes were masked wit

Carla’s POV. "What… are you saying? What do you mean you’re carrying Carlos’ child? Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?” I stuttered, finding it hard to wrap my head around her confession. “I know it’s hard for you to believe Miss, but I am telling the truth. I have been his sex toy for quite a long time” she whispered, lowering her gaze in shame. “Wait, are you being real right now? You mean you and Carlos have been having something together behind my back?” My voice shook, with a mix of disbelief and anger. Hesitantly, she nodded her head, biting her lower lip as if she were afraid of my reaction. “I didn’t do it on my own accord – he forced me. I sincerely wanted to tell you, but I didn’t know how to inform you that I had been sharing your man with you all along. I am sorry”. My heart pounded violently at her words. I felt numbness overpower my strength and I staggered, holding onto the rail for support. So, Catherine wasn’t the only one he cheated on me with? Ano
HELLO SINNERS, IT'S TIME FOR RECKONING The Bloodline's Secret
Carla’s POV. I was seated on the bed that day, looking at the pictures of Catherine, which I had taken in secret, meeting with people from Carlos’ company. I was trying to see if I would be able to find anything suspicious which I could use against her. Just then, my phone rung and it was a call from the person I least expected. At first, I didn’t want to pick up the call but eventually I did, wanting to hear her out and hoping I would be able to get the evidence I needed from her. Upon picking the call, the receiver’s end fell silent. She neither made a sound nor spoke. I instantly became worried- thinking that something had happened to her, or she was in some kind of danger. “Susan, are you there?” I calmly asked, wanting to confirm if she was still with me. But she still didn’t say anything. I stayed on the call for some minutes, hoping she would say something when she was finally ready. Tired of being left hanging, I threatened to hang up on her. “Call me when you are
HELLO SINNERS, IT'S TIME FOR RECKONING The Birth of a Huntress
Carla’s POV. The days that followed were hell for me. I woke up every single day blaming myself for being the cause of their deaths. Although I wasn’t the one who poisoned or pushed them off the rooftop, I was still indirectly involved in their deaths. “If not for me, they wouldn’t have died. If Catherine doesn’t hate me, they would still be alive” I kept on telling myself every day. Day by day, Carlos became distant. He barely came home and whenever he did, he was always drunk to stupor. He became a nuisance and stopped going to the company. Uncle Chris had to fill in his position at the company, just to ensure everything ran smoothly.He refused to bury them, hammering on the fact that he needed time to accept that they were finally gone. I had approached him on several occasions, requesting us to talk but his response was always: “I have nothing to say to you”. After that encounter, Susan resigned and left the mansion. I wasn’t even aware of that until I heard it from one o
HELLO SINNERS, IT'S TIME FOR RECKONING Unveiling the Monster
Carla’s POV. “You may leave now” Aunt Stephanie instructed Susan, who was still on her knees, crying. Sluggishly, she rose to her feet and made her way to the door but before she stepped out of the room, she looked at me. Her eyes were filled with regret and longing. There was heaviness in them – a silent desperation for my forgiveness. Tears escaped her eyelids, slowly trailing down her cheeks – tears of the apology, she couldn’t bring herself to say. And with that, she walked away, never looking back. “You are lucky that Carlos intervened in this matter. If I was left alone to decide what to do with you, I would have made you rot in jail forever. Like Carlos said, go and never come back. I never want to see your face in the house again, you bitch!!” Aunt Stephanie roared. “Let’s go, Catherine. This murderer isn’t worth our time” she further said, grabbing the wheelchair handle, ready to wheel Catherine out of the room. “Can you go ahead first, Aunt? I would love to have a c
HELLO SINNERS, IT'S TIME FOR RECKONING The End of Us
Carla’s POV. Finally, the door creaked open, and Aurora stepped in, with Susan trailing behind her. Susan hesitated by the door, her eyes fixed on the ground, avoiding everyone's eyes. “Come in” Carlos commanded, gesturing for Susan to walk in. She obeyed and stood in front of Carlos. “Now, face her and repeat all that you had told me in her presence” he ordered, his gaze not leaving Susan’s face. The look in Susan’s eyes was full of guilt and fear which hinted that she had already chosen her side. Before she opened her mouth to talk, I had already known where that was going to end. Susan swallowed hard; her hands clenched in front of her. She let out a heavy breath before she finally looked up at me for the first time since she entered. The betrayal in her eyes said it all. That she wasn’t on my side – she never was. “I ... I” she stammered, taking a pause before she continued. “I poisoned the food. Miss Carla told me to do so. She never said the drug would make them die.
HELLO SINNERS, IT'S TIME FOR RECKONING Torn Allegiances
Carla’s POV. “Carla, open the damn door!!” the loud banging on the door, pulled me out of my slumber. For the past four days that I had gotten back into that house, I had not been able to get a good sleep because of the reoccurring dream of Zoe calling onto me to join her, every time I shut my eyes. I was just about to get some sleep when I heard the banging on the door. “Carla, I know you are in there. Open this damn door right now or else, I am going to break it down!!” I heard Carlos' yell again, continuously banging on the door. I could hear Aunt Stephanie’s voice, telling him to calm down. I was too weak to get up. Nothing had passed through my esophagus in the past four days, not even water. I didn’t have the appetite to eat. I just locked myself up in Zoe’s room for days, drowning myself in sorrow. No one bothered to check up on me – not even Carlos. But now that they were standing at the door, I wondered what the problem was. I gathered the last of my strength and
HELLO SINNERS, IT'S TIME FOR RECKONING In the Shadow of Grief
Carla’s POV. I was left all alone, feeling abandoned. The disdainful feeling of being betrayed collided with that of mourning. I was mourning the death of my loved ones and at the same time, burning with rage at the ones that had forsaken me. “How could Catherine have gone this far? She even killed her son just to see me fall? Is she truly that heartless?” those questions lingered on my mind as I curled myself up in a corner of the room. The room was enveloped by silence, and I couldn’t have been more frustrated and despairing. I needed someone to console me – to assure me that everything would be okay. I wanted someone to come to save me, but no one did - not even Carlos. The only being who had always paid attention to me and consoled me was gone and ironically, I was being accused of being her murderer. I felt like I was locked out of the world. I couldn’t stand up from where I was curled. I just remained there for what felt like eternity, slowly embracing sadness and sile
HELLO SINNERS, IT'S TIME FOR RECKONING Trapped in Her Scheme
Carla’s POV. At the point where I was fixated, tears slowly escaped from my eyelid, streaming down my eyes. I was left all alone – abandoned by the man I had thought would believe me and stay by my side. “If everything Catherine said turns out to be true, I will make you regret ever messing with my family. I won’t allow my mother’s killer to go scot-free. Trust me” Aunt Stephanie threatened before angrily storming out of the room, with Aurora and Uncle Chris trailing behind her. But not without them eyeing me disgustingly. I was left all alone with Catherine, who was putting a satisfying and mockery smile on her face. “Catherine, why are you doing this to me again? What have I done to deserve all this? Just why?” I asked her tirelessly, my voice barely a whisper. I was too exhausted to yell – too tired to fight back. Carlos’ hurtful words drained out all the energy I had left within me and my desire to expose Catherine’s lies and be clean of the accusations slowly began vani
