Jeniva puffed the smoke of her cigarette into her face again and laughed hysterically “did I go through all these efforts just to come here and untie you?” She inquired and bursted into laughter again.
She was acting evil and her eyes were emitting fierce bitterness and hatred. She(Isabella) was scared. She tried to unite herself, putting all her efforts to it but Jeniva came closer and said “how about I help you”
And slashed her cheeks with a knife. She screamed and shivered. Blood was gushing and that instant,she knew evil was about to befall her.
Will she be able to get out of this alive? What has come over Jeniva, why is she hurting her? They've been sisters all their lives. What happened now?
“Jeniva, why are you hurting me, what did I do wrong? We're sisters, please don't hurt me” she'd pleaded but the she-devil turned a fierce glare at her and asked “Who is your sister?
You must be dreaming. You'd better wake up from your dream land. You and I were never related. You were adopted and I am the only one with the Manor bloodline here” Jeniva disclosed.
She was dazed. She was adopted? Why didn't mom and dad say anything about it to her before they died? They had died in a ghastly motor accident and she was only ten back then.
But Jeniva's parents took her in and raised her until she was going to clock 18. Why is she just knowing she wasn't a Manor descendant?
“Your Mom was your biological mother but your father,who was my uncle, was never your father. But despite being an illegitimate child in that marriage, you got all the good things any child could ever deserve.
My uncle cherished you and showered you with so much love. Your mother was a wealthy woman. She got a lot of wealth and properties from her parents and your father became a rich merchant.
But I hate you. I hate you because you are more beautiful than me, I hate you because your parents are richer than mine. No wonder dad and mom orchestrated their accident and killed them both…” Jeniva said and laughed, puffing more smoke into her face.
That day, she had thought she would die. The news of her parents being murdered by her uncle and Aunt shocked her more than anything else in this world.
It had appeared like an accident. Everyone believed it to be a mere accident. Despite being young, she had accepted that her parents died in the accident.
So it was masterminded. It wasn't just by accident nor was it a disaster that befell them naturally, they were murdered. Her parents had really been good to everyone around them and most importantly Jeniva's parents.
How can they do this to them? And now, will Jeniva be ending her own life too? Her parents killed her parents and probably the murderer’s daughter was going to kill her too.
What about her babies? Will they never get a chance to see the light of this life? Are they going to die in her belly before they were ever given a chance to take their first breath outside her belly?
“Please spare me, Jeniva. For my baby's sake. Spare me for Alex's sake. Remember he is your friend and the baby in my belly is his” she'd pleaded
“Shut the fuck! In your dreams only you can be pregnant with Alex's child. The one whose child is in your belly is a stranger. Someone none of us know.
The one who is carrying Alex's child is me. I'm two months pregnant already and that's more reason why I have to eliminate you so that I can marry him conveniently” Jeniva Scowled and slashed her from her temple down to her lower jaw.
She screamed painfully, she felt her babies kick in her belly weakly. The children in her belly were definitely getting suffocated just like her. Will she die with her babies?
She sobbed, her dress was getting soaked with her blood. She was weak but she cannot say which of it hurts her, the cutting of the knife or the betrayals on every side.
And to know that her boyfriend was actually dating her cousin was something she least expected. Alex and Jeniva met during her 15th birthday and since then they have acted like platonic friends.
And when she woke up that day, and realised that she'd lost her virginity, she'd thought it was Alex. He even sat by her on the bed and held her, apologising to her.
So it was all a drama. They were together all along and now,Jeniva is pregnant with his child while she was carrying the child of a total stranger.
“And lastly, you just signed the transfer of the entire wealth and properties of your parents to me. I owe everything now. And henceforth, my parents and I have no need of you” Jeniva concluded and gave her another stab on her head.
This was enough for her. As the blood trickled down her face, her eyes went dizzy. She knew she wouldn't survive it, she was dying and the last words she remembered muttering to Jeniva was “I'll never forgive you”
As Isabella Manor cleaned her tears filled face, she said “I am back now, mother and father. I will avenge you. I will never let your murderers have a peaceful end, that's my promise to you.
I have a different face now, mother and I took up a different identity. But I am still your Isabella. I am still the baby you carry in your belly. I am your blood, the only one to carry on your bloodline.
It will also interest you to know that you have two grandsons. They are geniuses. They are so sweet. They have your blood, mother. And whether Fiona Johnson or Isabella Manor, I am still your daughter.
But father, please forgive me. I will not spare the Manor family for what they did to you. I will forget that you were once related to them. I will only seek their ruin and downfall.
My return is for a purpose. This is me, father, I will not spare,I will not forgive the death of Isabella Manor nor the birth of Fiona Johnson!”
Maybe he should go and come back at a time when the present tension has subsided. But then, he wants to know about his daughter as well. He'd been restless from the moment he knows that he has a daughter “My husband and I want to live peacefully. My daughter has always been found innocent and I'm sure that this time,her innocence would be proven once again…” Maria Manor stuttered. Larry Freeman nodded. She's not thinking straight at the moment. What has her daughter's innocence got to do with him and his daughter? “Oh…” Larry trailed off. What the heck! Why would he let his desire lead him this far? He needs to leave immediately and come back another time. “Yes sir. Jeniva was raised like a princess, alongside her cousin, Isabella. These girls grow up knowing only one language: love. How can all these charges be levelled against her? This is unfair. Whoever is doing this to her, will never get away with it. We'll fight for Justice and we'll surely
“I've said it before Lan, that the she-devil surnamed Manor and I aren't related in any way. We lived in the same mansion in the past but that doesn't automatically mean we are family” Fiona complained. Of all the people on earth, why would she be willing to be related to that monster? She would never have imagined that someone with an innocent facial expression can be this callous. “Yeah..I think I remember now, that you once told me she's not your cousin” Lan teased and chuckled. Fiona sighed softly. She glanced at Lan “take me home, I need to rest my head and think about what Jeniva's face would look like when she discovered that I have all the information that would usher her into jail forever..” This feeling makes her belly sweet. Someone needs to be a step ahead of her otherwise, she would think of herself to be something else,lofty and untouchable. “I think we should use this medium to our advantage, Isabella. What her face would look like doesn
Few minutes to 7pm, Lan Keith's private bodyguard called him and informed him that Luna Wesley had arrived at the Suitoria guest house and she's alone. Only then did Lan allow Fiona Johnson to place a call across to her. The latter replied promptly and Fiona asked that she meet her instead. Luna Wesley was dazed and at the same time happy that Miss Johnson honoured her invitation. It means she could get what she wants if she played her card well. Hence she contemplated on going over to meet her wherever she is. She replied and said she doesn't mind. And Fiona said she should step out of the hotel, some bodyguards were going to bring her over. Luna Wesley felt uncomfortable. Besides being a mere secretary to CEO Lan Keith, what other personalities does Miss Johnson have to make her hire bodyguards? Well, perhaps because of her abduction, she suddenly hired men to be her bodyguard. Anyways, what she wants is a ladder to the top. She stepped out and just th
Doe least expected to see the police men in the hospital and in Jeniva's ward to be precise. What the heck do they want from her? “Good day Miss Manor. We are officers from the police department and you are invited to our office to answer a few questions” one of the officers announced. Jeniva Manor's temple was now covered with beads of sweat. How on earth can it be heard that she left the hospital to the police department? She was going to seize the opportunity of having Barr. Doe with her and slip away quietly under less questions from the journalists. But these men, what do they want with her now? They've ruined this opportunity for her. “To be more precise, are you here to arrest my client?” Barr. Doe asked. He's too mature to believe such fairy tales from the police. Going to their office to get questioned was nothing different from being arrested and taken for interrogation. They can use that casual way of saying it to others, but not to some
In the Starlight entertainment industry, things have really gone jangled up. It's not news that Junxi Li has publicly been relieved of his job and his co accomplice had been blacklisted. Majority of the artists were celebrating privately that finally, perhaps a chance has come for them to rise in their career. This is going to be the opportunity they all sought after. Mrs Lorita was explaining the situation to the higher ups in the emergency board meeting. Her husband was out of the country but he had been restless from the moment the news of the scandal became the hottest news in town. Jeniva manor might have been the black sheep caught up in the web of the scandal again but the one suffering the most is the company. How can it be heard that the best entertainment industry in the city has raised such an artist who only knows how to get to the top by using their body to do it? And knowing that such purifying acts were being orchestrated amidst the staff
“Thank you for the honour of doing work with you, Mr Larry. Like I told you some time ago, I found a clue but today, I can point you to exactly where your daughter can be found. But we can only get information concerning her whereabouts, she'd left this city a few years ago and hadn't returned…” Jasmine informed Larry. No one knows how much she worked hard to find out the whereabouts of the Manor's family second Miss. The last sentence in Jasmine's words makes Larry feel uncomfortable. He'd thought he would meet his daughter eventually. But now, he has to begin from somewhere again. Although the information gathered so far was enough pointer for him to begin the second part of his investigation again. At least, he would be able to know the family his daughter had grown up with. “It's alright. You told me back then that her name is Isabella. Does she bear Alfred as her last name too?” He demanded. Did she take up her mother's last name or did she let
