“What do you mean by getting rid of her?” I asked cautiously.“You know.” Vickie gently scratched her neck.“No, Vickie,” I said. “I would never hurt her. She's my sister.”“But what if she wants to hurt Frade, or you?”“How do you know she'll hurt Frade?” I sighed. “Maybe you're thinking too much.”“Oh, young lady.” Vickie shook her head, “I've lived longer than you, and I've always believed that people who are dead don't come back to life. Unless she's not dead at all. That Mia must have a purpose when she shows up at this time.”“But why did you want to kill her? I don't understand.”“Just dealing with trouble,” Vickie said sternly. “This woman has turned two brothers against each other, and this time her presence may cause even more trouble.”“Even without Mia, Frade and Daley would have fought over the power.” I glanced at Vickie. “You know that. You just simply don't like Mia, but you wouldn't kill her.”Although I don't like this sister much, I never want to hurt her.“My gut t
“Liv, do you remember when I told you that there was a woman in Las Vegas who thought I was Elena? That woman was Rose.” I had to confess, “I'm asking you to look into this because I suspect Mia is Elena. I met Rose in person.”“So you got something out of Rose, but you weren't going to share it with us.” Mark squinted at me. “Why?”“I just want you to put the investigation on hold,” I said, “Since she's my sister, I was wondering if I could look into this myself. I swear, if I find anything, I'll let you know. But not yet. I need to reach out to that Rose again and find some hard evidence.”“Eva, do you also suspect that Mia came back for another reason?” Liv asked. “But I think you're trying to protect Mia, which I don't understand.”“She's my sister,” I could only say. “She's my sister until I find out everything. Please, leave the rest to me.”Liv glanced at Mark, who hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing. But I knew his patience wouldn't last.“When are you going to meet Ro
“Nonsense!” I glared at her. “What does that have to do with me?”“Because Jeff likes you.” Mia sneered, “Don't you think it's like looking in a mirror when we're face to face? And you know what? I had heard your name from Jeff many times before I met you, especially in bed. What do you think Liv would do if she knew that her husband had been fantasizing about her best friend?”“That's not true.” I stepped back and touched the corner of the table. “You're lying.”“If you want me to tell you the truth, why don't you believe me?” Mia sits in a chair and pulls out a pack of cigarettes from her purse.She lit the cigarette in her mouth with a lighter and a ring of white smoke came out of her mouth.“Why don't you sit down?” Mia pointed to the old couch in the living room with her cigarette in her hand. “I don't want to see you pass out on the floor.”“I went up to the sky club years ago to be a dancer, and I met Jeff one night, and I became his mistress. He told me that he had a wife, but
“What do you want?”“I want your life!” Mia glared at me with burning eyes, “I used to keep asking myself if I did something wrong to make my parents abandon me. Why can your life be bright and beautiful, while I am as bad as a pool of sewage? This is not fair at all!”“My life is not as perfect as you think,” I told her patiently, “This is Mikeal's revenge on our mother. Not only did he kill our mother, but he also made my life miserable. I've lost more than you. Mia, we're all victims.”“But why me and not you?” Mia hissed.“Mia, if you were me, you would suffer the same way,” I said, “Mikeal used me as a marriage tool to marry Ron. Ron cheated on me with Gina, and they conspired to sentence me to death. I also lost a baby. So I lived the rest of my life for revenge. Mia, I know I can't make up for what you've been through. But I hope we can all live happily ever after.”What happened to Mia broke my heart, and I have to admit that she suffered more than I did. Maybe she's not a bad
“What are you looking for?” Daley looked at me calmly. He had just finished his shower and a white towel was wrapped around his lower body. A drop of water ran down his hair to the forehead.“Nothing, I'm just looking for pliers,” I lied.“Pliers? What do you need pliers for?” He gave me a suspicious look.“Because I want to open the diary,” I said hastily. “My mother's diary is locked. I need tools to open it.”“There's nothing on the desk that you want,” Daley said. “If you don't mind, I can see what kind of lock it is. Maybe you don't need pliers to open it.”So I went into the bedroom to get my mother's diary and gave it to Daley. He looked at the little lock in the diary and found a pen and stuck it in the middle of the lock. He twirled the pen a few times before the lock fell to the floor.“See, that's easy.” Daley handed me the diary.As I opened this diary, I was secretly glad he didn't notice that I was checking his phone. When I opened it, however, the pages were hollowed ou
I went to the hotel, and as I put my feet on the soft carpet in the hallway, the old memories began to flash through my mind like a movie.My entanglement with him began when I stepped through the door.The door opened, and Frade appeared in front of me. He was wearing a dark blue shirt, and the top button was untied to his chest to reveal strong muscles. He leaned against the door, a glass of orange liquid in one hand.“Come in.”I walked into the room under his direct gaze. As the door closed, I suddenly felt a strange heat behind me, like a centipede climbing up my spine. I stood at the window and was afraid to turn around, because I was afraid to see the blazing heat in his green eyes.“Sit down.” His voice was less than three steps behind me. I took a deep breath and tried to hold back some of the panic.His face always makes me inexplicably nervous. My body's blood cannot help but want to boil when hearing his voice.“Please sit,” he said.I couldn’t let him read my mind, and I
“I think we should kill her here.”“I think we should take turns f.ucking her before we kill her because my d.ick is already hard.”Two men's gruff voices rang in my ears. My vision was black. Something was blocking my eyes. I tried to call for help, but my mouth was taped shut. My hands were tied and I couldn't move. I just twisted my body a little, and a fist slammed into my stomach.“Don't move, or the next punch will hit you in the face.” The man smiled lewdly and squeezed my breasts roughly.I pulled back, and a hard object pressed against my back, leaving me no place to hide. The air smelled of leather and sweat, and if I had guessed right, they had tied me up in a car.The car door popped open and the man beside me grabbed my arm. I heard a woman's shrill voice on my right.“What the hell are you doing in the car? Get her off so I can scratch her face.”The man grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the car. My feet were on the gravel. The man tore the strip of cloth that covered
When I arrived at the hospital, the paramedics wheeled Frade into the operating room. A nurse handed me Frade's blood-stained coat and told me I needed to tell Frade's family to come to the hospital as soon as possible. Before I could ask the nurse about Frade's injuries, the door of the operating room closed.I watched as the red emergency light lit up outside the operating room and the coat I was holding nearly fell to the floor. The phone rang sharply and vibrated in his coat pocket, which made my mind immediately clear. I reached into the pocket and took out my phone.It was Mia, and I hesitated for two minutes before answering. The moment the call went through, I heard Mia's sweet voice.“Honey, I'm back at the hotel, but you're not here.”“This is Eva.”“Eva?” Mia's tone quickly turned hostile. “Why do you have Frade's phone? Why are you together?”“Frade is hurt. He's in the hospital right now,” I said, taking two seconds to calm myself down. “I think you should come. I have so
