"I didn't kill her." Fiona immediately muttered, she didn't sound shaky, rather she sound confident mostly because she didn't kill Audrey.
"I know.." Theodore says walking up to the dead body. He visually studied her and shrugged. "Oh well she's dead." He turns back to see a bewildered Fiona.
"Given how much you despise me, Aren't you supposed to be taking me in ?" Fiona mutters to understand which side Theodore is, for one she knows he's not on her side.

Are you trying to implicate me and my husband for attempted murder ?" Delilah spat in disgust balling her hands into a fist."I saw the receipts, it had the family signature stamp." Fiona defended despite having few doubts. "They could have been forged." Delilah yells not holding back her anger, Dimitri stood behind her massaging her shoulders."You know very well the signature could never be forged, it's only used for private business, such as paying a psychopath to murder me.."

Fiona's arms folded, she looked at Dimitri making a phone call he looked like he was pissed but tried not to over react.

The room went dead silent, Fiona's jaw dropped the moment her sister dropped the bomb. Delilah went ahead to pour herself another glass of wine for her and her sister despite herself being soiled with wine."I.." Fiona stammered, running every single possibility on how her sister found out. Delilah could be using this as a test so Fiona slowly broke into a chuckle. "You've got to be kidding me."

"You just say the crown of all bullshit, I did not fuck your husband Delilah, I would never even think of doing something that ridiculous."

Picture a room of fresh and wild green colored canopies. The canopies were decorated as tiny pretty tents to a table and two chairs. The table cloth was also the same color as the canopy. Imagine it being outside in the open complimented by the sun, clear clouds and natural carpeted green.It was a nice setting for Delilah and Dimitri who were attending a birthday party. Dimitri was busy on his phone while a few kids surround Delilah, she entertained them with her stories travelling abroad."Aunt Delilah so you've been to Africa ?" One of the kid's echoed.

Fiona pressured the likely unrealistic idea.Delilah breathe before speaking up. "How will you get 7 trillion dollars in six months, Fiona your proposition is actually concerning. You can't make that much in a short amount of time it's impossible.""Delilah...""No, you have two choices. Pick one and get on with it." Delilah pitches with authority."I don't want a relationsh

Fiona sat down as Delilah tucked her hair in a bun. She would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid of Delilah going manic and yanking her hair off her scalp. Delilah seemed calmed and was gentle with her hair, she did a neat bun and even acessorized it with diamond hair clips.Both sisters had a dress on and make up done already. Fiona wore a pink mixed pattern sheath with black heels matching the small patches of black on the dress. Delilah wore a grey cinch waist gown flowing elegantly below her knees with silver colored heels. Delilah had a silvery arm bracelet and let her hair down, some diamond hair pins, smoothly tucked her hair to the side.Delilah went to her drawer and took out one of the most expensive necklace she owned.

HER ADVERSARIES Chapter Forty- Legally divorced
Fiona watched as one of the maids arranged her room, she sighed thinking about her last encounter with Thomas. She couldn’t stop thinking how flustered he made her she wished she at least got a moment to look him in the eye and after their last encounter she sure as well avoided him like a plague. The maids didn’t mind swarming him since Delilah didn’t give them a warning. Fiona leaned against her wall sulking, the maid in the room noticed but was too scared to start a conversation with Fiona. Infact everyone in the Ekalot didn’t chat much with Fiona unless she requested for them, this made Fiona quite lonely. If it was Delilah it would be a different case, The maids were unnecessarily close to Delilah.“Lady Fiona, I’m done.” The maid informed Fiona who was brought back to reality. Fiona nodded slowly moving towards her bed stand. ”Thank you” Fiona muttered and resumes to get lost in her thoughts. ‘’Lady Fiona, you seem disturbed ? Anything the matter ?’’ The maid proceeded to ask k

He was thinking to himself.How did she squander a whopping 7.5 trillion dollars if she was this smart ?She doesn't look stupid neither dense. The famous Fiona he heard rumors about was as fierce and reckless as her story was told.She was nicknamed Detroit's mad dog for a reason she was expensive to cater for and always caused chaos where ever she could cause one.It was refreshing to find out how tactical she was."Hey." Fiona yelled at Thomas who didn't realize he was staring more than he should. "What were you staring at ?" Fiona snarled. Thomas rethinks his conclusion, she's definitely not as calm as he gives her credit for. "Who else could it be ?" Thomas arched a brow which made Fiona blush a bit."We.. well stop staring at me. It's weird." Fiona weakly said as an

It wasn't easy because somehow, Arielle went around gossiping in either Malay or Cantonese, if Theodore knew any better he thought at most Arielle was literate with the alphabets.

He concluded he needed to look into her more she's getting too much to handle.He noticed Delilah frantically busy about watching Arielle's move. He knows Arielle had something to do with it.

She was sure Arielle wouldn't do anything for now, she didn't know how long it would be before Arielle called her for her. In the meantime she needed to teach Manfred a lesson so she phoned Fiona, she nervously tapped her fingers waiting for her to pick her call."Delilah ?" Fiona answers the moment the call went through.

Delilah hissed trying to look for another glass of white wine completely ignoring Arielle who couldn't stand it thought of it.Arielle tagged along with Delilah still. "Then you should know there are two hitmen in this room." Arielle spilled. Delilah turned to face Delilah hoping she would call it a bluff. Arielle wiggled a brow hinting she wasn't. "I convinced the Schneider's that you wouldn't listen to my warning. I convinced them you'll react to a more solid threat so they let me hire two hitmen.

Arielle mouthed she was enjoying the irritation Delilah tried to wave off.When they were close enough Delilah leans in enough to whisper to Arielle. "It this goes any longer I don't mind not letting you go off easy." Arielle already knew she was talking about the recording of her admitting to leaking the tapes.Immediately Arielle withdrew from the hug but still graze the back of her palm against Delilah's cheek."You look beautiful as always, I'm jealous.." Arielle withdraws her palm and proceeds to dust off the foundation she got on the back of her palm."Oops, Delilah." Arielle locked eyes with Delilah who didn't show a reaction.
