BITTERNESS

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-13 22:12:13

Emily sat on the couch in her mother’s apartment, staring out the window.

It had been over a month or more since Alex left her..since he had walked out of their marriage without even a second glance. No calls, no texts. Nothing.

It was as if she had ceased to exist for him. The silence from him was deafening, and it left her thinking if she wasn’t worth being with.

Her mother, Mary, was pacing up and down in the living room as she always did when she was upset, muttering under her breath, cursing Alex, Leah, the company, everything.

She has been quiet for so long and restless about how fast everything that she planned went down the drain.

“I still can’t believe that girl! After everything, she swooped in and took half the company. Half! Do you know how hard I worked to push Leah out of the way so you could have everything? And now..now she walks in and takes it all back, just like that!” Mary’s voice was laced with venom as she ranted.

Emily sighed and turned away from the window, h

    Few weeks later, Emily was coughing badly, her health had deteriorated so badly that she was unrecognizable. She couldn’t even step out due to shame.She stared at her reflection in the cracked bathroom mirror, barely recognizing the woman looking back at her. Her once glossy hair was dull and lifeless, her cheeks sunken in, and dark circles painted under her eyes. She ran her fingers through her hair, tugging at the strands, as if hoping to pull some of the old Emily back to the surface. But she knew deep down, she wasn’t the same anymore.Her body had changed. Her mind had changed. And her heart? It was shattered beyond repair."Emily, you need to rest," Mary’s voice called from the kitchen, her tone filled with concern and frustration. "You’re running yourself into the ground. You need to be strong"Emily ignored her mother’s nagging. She had grown tired of hearing it…"Rest? What has she been doing these few weeks if not staying indoors? How could she rest when everything was fa

    Mary’s morning started like every other day. She woke up, still in her pajamas, and sat at the breakfast table, staring at her untouched cup of coffee. But today, something was different. The endless thoughts of Leah had pushed her over the edge..She couldn’t take it anymore. She knew that Leah’s presence was the root of all of Emily’s suffering. She needed peace, and the only way to get it was to get rid of the one person who had turned everything upside down, this time not temporary but permanently.The idea had been festering for weeks, but now it had grown into a dark plan she was ready to execute. Leah had to be eliminated. Not through some petty argument or confrontation…no, Mary was ready to go to extreme measures.She put down her teacup, her fingers tapping slightly on it as she picked up her phone. Scrolling through her contacts, she landed on a number she hadn’t dialed in years. The man was known for handling "delicate" matters, and if anyone could make Leah disappear w

    Leah woke up that morning feeling heavier than usual. Her body ached in ways that she couldn’t explain, and her head throbbed with an intensity that made her wince every time she moved. As she tried to sit up in bed, her vision swam for a moment, making her grab the edge of the bed for support.Richie, who had already gotten up, noticed her struggling. He walked over, concern etched across his face. "Babe, you okay?"Leah shook her head, blinking a few times to steady herself. "I don’t know. I just feel... off. Like something’s not right."Richie knelt beside her, placing a hand on her forehead. "You’re burning up. I think you might have a fever. Maybe you should take the day off and rest."Leah let out a small, frustrated sigh. "I can't miss work today. You know I've been off work for a while now. And things are piling up for me. There’s so much to do. But maybe I should stop by the hospital and get checked out, just to be sure."Richie nodded, still frowning. "That’s a good idea. B

    Leah glanced at her phone; Richie was calling."Hey babe, how are you?" he asked."Alive. On my way to the hospital.""Oh okay. I am about to go in for a meeting and I wanted to hear from you first. I hope your driver is driving calmly?" Richie asked."I didn’t go with Paul. I told him he could stay back today. I need some alone time, and the guards have been hovering. I can't breathe. I’m not in the mood to be followed, and lately, I get irritated over the smallest things. So, I’m driving myself," Leah explained.Richie frowned. "Babe, that’s not safe. You’re unwell. You should’ve let Paul drive and just told the guards to stay back.""I’m fine," Leah insisted, her tone firm. "Please, I just need some space.""Okay, but be careful. Alright? I love you""Sure, I will, love you too" Leah said before hanging up.Few minutes later, Leah sat in the small, sterile office at the hospital, anxiously tapping her fingers on her knee. Her mind raced as she waited for the doctor to arrive. The

    Leah's heart was racing as she drove out of the hospital parking lot. The day had taken a surprising turn, and she was filled with excitement after hearing the news that she was pregnant! She placed a hand on her stomach, feeling warmth at the thought of a new life growing inside her. All she could think about was Richie, how happy he’d be, how they’d plan their future, and how they’d share the news with the kids. "I can’t wait to tell him,” she whispered, her fingers brushing over her phone. She had promised herself to wait until he got back from his seminar. Leah could already picture the joy on Richie’s face when he heard the news in person. Their lives had been going so well, and this baby would be the perfect next step. She drummed her fingers on the steering wheel, her mind dancing with thoughts of baby names and nursery colors when suddenly…BANG! a loud bang shattered her daydream…. A sharp sound pierced the air, followed by the cracking of her windshield. Pan

    Mary sat in her luxurious living room, the dim light casting soft shadows on her face. Her fingers drummed rhythmically on the armrest of her leather couch as she waited for the call. A sly smile tugged at the corners of her lips, anticipating the news. Finally, her phone rang. She checked the caller ID: Ranson. The smile widened even more as she answered. Knowing he makes no mistakes."Hello, Ranson. I hope you’ve got good news for me," Mary said, her tone dripping with confidence."Yes, ma’am," Ranson's gruff voice replied. "It’s done. The report we’re getting is that Leah’s been hit. If she ain’t dead yet, she’s pretty close to it. I’d say she might not make it."Mary’s heart skipped a beat, but only out of excitement. A rush of satisfaction filled her chest. She let out a soft, almost musical laugh that grew louder until it echoed through her spacious home."Well done, Ranson. Well done!" she said, still chuckling. "I knew I could count on you to put that girl in her place.""I k

    The day Leah had dreamed of for so long was finally here. The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the garden where her wedding ceremony was about to take place. White flowers lined the aisle, their fragrance filling the air, and the gentle hum of music played in the background. Leah stood in front of the mirror, dressed in her wedding gown, her heart filled with excitement. She couldn't believe this moment had finally arrived. "You look beautiful," Mariam said, smiling as she adjusted the veil over Leah’s hair. "Like a princess straight out of a fairy tale." Leah laughed, her hands trembling slightly. "I feel like I’m dreaming." "No," Mariam shook her head. "This is real, Leah. You’re about to marry the love of your life, the father of your children. You deserve all of this and more." Leah’s eyes welled up with tears, and she turned to Mariam, "I don’t even know how to thank you, Mariam. After everything… I never thought I’d get here." Mariam took Leah’s hands in hers

    Emily watched as the prison gates swung open and Mary was led inside. The cold, gray walls of the facility seemed to match the evil in her mother’s heart.She had stood there, frozen, feeling both resentment and a strange sadness. After everything that had happened, she wasn’t sure how to feel anymore."Can I talk to her for just a few minutes?" Emily asked the guard, her voice low but firm.The guard shook his head. "Sorry, ma’am, no visits right now."Emily’s chest tightened. "Please... just five minutes. I need to say something. It’s important."The guard sighed, looking at her for a moment before finally relenting. "Alright, five minutes. That’s all."Emily took a deep breath, watching as her mother was brought back out. Mary, now in her prison uniform, looked smaller somehow, as though the weight of her sins had physically shrunk her. Her face was blank, trying to maintain the cold front she had always worn, but her eyes were puffy, and it was clear she’d been crying.As Mary ap

    The police stormed Ranson's hideout, catching him and his gang off guard. As they pinned him to the ground, one officer shouted, “You’re under arrest for attempted murder and conspiracy!” Ranson struggled, cursing under his breath, but he knew this day was coming. As they dragged him into the police car, his heart pounded. During the interrogation, it didn’t take long for Ranson to crack under pressure. With his hands trembling, he finally blurted out, “It was Mary. Mary! She’s the one who wanted Leah dead! I was just doing what I was paid for!”Detectives exchanged glances, already suspecting her involvement but now having the confirmation they needed. With Ranson’s confession, they raced to Mary’s house. She answered the door, looking composed as ever, but her face paled when she saw the officers."Mary," the lead detective said sternly, "you're under arrest for the attempted murder of Leah."Mary’s voice quivered as she tried to mask her fear with confusion. “What are you talking

    Emily lay awake all night, she had been trying to process all her mother’s confession. The horror of it consumed her. Leah had been so innocent from the beginning, and then possibly dead because of her mother’s actions. She hadn’t agreed to any of it, she didn't even know her mother had gone that far as taking someone’s life yet she felt just as guilty. By morning, her stomach churned with nausea. She had to do something.When the first light of dawn filtered through her window, she got up, and made her way downstairs. Mary was already in the kitchen, making coffee, her expression smug as though nothing had changed.Emily’s heart pounded in her chest. She had no choice. She had to confront her mother."I’m turning myself in," Emily blurted out, her voice shaky but determined as she entered the kitchen.Mary froze for a second, her back to Emily. Slowly, she turned around, her face twisting into disbelief and shock. "What did you just say?" She asked."I said I’m turning myself in,

    The door creaked open, and in walked Mary, her expression triumphant as usual. Emily stiffened, sensing that something was off. Mary’s eyes were gleaming with a satisfaction that made Emily uneasy."Emily," Mary started, her voice dripping with excitement. "I’ve got news for you. Finally, everything has fallen into place."Emily blinked, unsure of where this was going. "What are you talking about, mom?"Mary sat down, a little too close to Emily, and leaned in. "Leah," she whispered, her voice cold and sinister. "It seems like she’s finally gone. No one has heard anything. No news. It’s been weeks. She’s probably dead, and they haven’t found her body yet."Emily’s heart stopped for a moment. She stared at her mother, wide-eyed, her mind racing. She had been angry at Leah for years, jealous even, but wishing her dead? That wasn’t something she wanted. Not like this."How? What happened?"... Emily asked.Mary continued, oblivious to Emily’s shock. "I told you, didn’t I? That girl was al

    Richie stood at Leah's bedside two weeks after the accident, watching as she slept. Her breathing was steady, and her face looked peaceful. The machines surrounding her were no longer terrifying to him; they were signs of progress now. Signs that she was getting better. He smiled faintly, remembering how much darker everything seemed just days ago.The boys were sitting in the corner of the room, playing with some toys Dazzle had brought for them to keep them occupied.They were quieter than usual, but Richie could tell they were just as hopeful as he was. They had been through so much these days, yet they still managed to be helpful in ways they could.The doctor came in, his clipboard in hand, and gave Richie a nod before checking on Leah’s vitals. “She’s doing much better,” the doctor said, scribbling something down. “The baby’s fine as well. Everything looks good.”Richie exhaled slowly, letting all his worries out “Thank God,” he whispered. “But… her head? How’s the injury?”The

    Richie stood by Leah’s bedside, his entire body shaking as he cried. The pain was unbearable, the thought of losing her too much to handle. The boys, their innocent faces wet with tears, clung to Richie as they looked at their mother lying so still on the bed."Dad… is Mom going to be alright?" one of the boys, his voice small and frightened, asked between sobs.Richie could barely answer. He dropped to his knees beside the bed, burying his face in his hands. His heart felt like it had shattered into a million pieces. He couldn’t stop the flood of tears. "God, please…" Richie began, his voice breaking with every word. "Save Leah. Please… I’ll be a good husband, I promise. I’ll take care of our kids… I’ll do anything you want me to, just save my wife. Please, God… don’t take her from us."The boys began to wail too, their small voices filling the room with a heartbreaking sound. Richie’s tears fell even harder, his hands gripping Leah’s cold fingers. "Leah, please come back to us… pl
