Patricia and Alice kept looking around discreetly even after thanking the doctor and nurses as they left before carefully locking the hospital room door. Wrapped around their head are scarves and sunglasses. They heaved a sigh of relief as soon as they were left alone in the room with Ferdinand on the sick bed.

" I was scared to death", Patricia said in relief, unwrapping the scarf off her head, same with Alice as they both collapsed on the chair, exhausted.

They had sneaked Ferdinand away from the other hospital due to the people's riot in concern about their finances and the reporter's trouble; due to fear of being attacked, they had to sneak Ferdinand out of the hospital through the back door and transport him to another hospital discreetly.

" For how long are we going to continue doing this? Are we going to keep hiding for the rest of our lives?", Alice asked angrily,

    Alice drove back home, getting inside, she was welcomed by silence. She felt the oddity of her home like a wave of shivers to sink her heart. She swallowed hard, tears streaming down her cheeks, followed by anxiety. The home that's always bright and beautiful was totally quiet; no maid was coming to welcome her, and there was no movement around the house, and the beautiful fragrance that lingers around the air seemed to be fading. She shook her head in protest." This can't be our downfall," she said as the fear gripped her, " I can't be poor; I won't be poor."She rushed upstairs to her room; the image of her striving to get something to eat, the image of her being unable to afford what she wanted, and the image of her sleeping on an empty stomach drove her insane. It's an unthinkable imagination that must not happen to her. She frantically began to search for what to wear, scattering everywhere for her best dress.She found the short red gown with no sleeves and a sweetheart necklin

    Alice slammed the door of the car angrily before bursting into tears; her heart ached in a way it had never, and her body shivered as reality began to dawn on her." I've lost everything," she wept, " everything is gone, my friends, my wealth, all hope, everything has been taken away from me."She sniffled her left mucous into the right, placed her palm on the wheel, and clenched her fist around it tightly.~ you're a failure ~Dani's words echoed in her ears, and it made her body tremble; she could imagine herself becoming a laughing stock, from being a somebody to a nobody. It drives her insane; it makes her body quiver, and she wishes to break whatever she lays her hands on to vent her emotions.After some minutes, her sobs and cries stopped, and she lifted her head slowly with a switch of emotions. Her disheartened heart was replaced with the flame of rage and hatred, her eyes lit up with a dangerous glare, and her weak hands tightened around the wheel with fury." It's her fault,

    The guards were taken aback by the sudden arrival of a black car that zoomed into the building; the drive was rough and fast, bringing the guards to their feet and immediately getting their guns ready. They pointed the guns toward the car, but when the driver jumped out, they were relieved. They furrowed their brow in surprise and curiosity when they saw Kyle run in like he was being chased by death. He ran like his life depended on it and arrived in the sitting room; his sudden run-in startled the men inside and also took them by surprise. " Kyle?", Damien jumped on his feet on seeing Kyle. He looked at him all over and furrowed his brow, " What happened, brother? What happened to you?". Kyle collapsed on the floor exhaustedly and the men quickly helped him up to sit on the chair. Damien stood over him not asking a question and waiting for one of the men to give him water to do. After drinking the water, Kyle heaved a long sigh of relief. " I'm glad I made it here", " What in the

    Blue hopped on her feet, beaming with smiles as she strides towards her home through the not-so-bright alley, calculating the days with her fingers." Oh", she cooed," it's finally here. Five more days to get my salary", she grinned happily.Images and thoughts began to pop into her head, visualizing herself in the mall doing some shopping, buying some materials she had always wanted, the type of meal to cook, and what she needed to get.She unlocked her phone, still walking, and slid into Pinterest, searching for the kind of dinner gown to buy." I should buy myself some fancy female wear; I don't have a dinner gown, so let's get one that's not expensive", she mumbled to herself as she strolled through the images, her eyes switching from the road to her phone and back to the road again.

It was a lot for her, listening to a family of hers plotting her death.Christian pulled her closer into his arms and whispered, "Are you okay?".She smiled bitterly and nodded, her chest getting tight and firm, " they were never my family", she said coldly."

    (Flashback)Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to something she had never noticed or something she pretended not to notice. Realizing which relationship she wanted more and which relationship she never wanted to end, she picked up her phone after prioritizing someone she never wanted to think about or imagine losing.She took her phone and dialed Alice's contact; after concluding to meet, she went to take her bath and get dressed before calling Ryan.Praying and wishing he picked, she felt so relieved and happy when he did after the third rang," Hi, Ryan"," Hi", he replied coldly," Can we meet, please? I would come over"," Okay".Her heart ached when he coldly hung up; she swallowed hard, accepting the coldness, and with more desperation, she headed over to his place.

    ( very early the next morning)Alice walked out of the house and headed over to where Marissa's car was packed; she opened the door with Marissa's key and reached out for her bag; she opened Marissa's bag and took out the pistol.She smiled heartily at the gun, " beautiful", she uttered and threw the bag back into the car before closing it and heading back into the house.Her stomach grumbled as she stepped in; she went straight to the kitchen counter to make herself a cup of cornflakes and tucked the gun into her back pocket before heading to the room where Clarisse was tied.With her head banging and spinning, she slowly flickered her eyes open to a bright room that nearly blinded her eyes. Slowly, she adjusted her sight to the room light and raised her head to see Alice munching on something; when she took another spoon, she realized it was flakes.Her body felt numb, and she couldn't move; she looked at herself to realize her situation." Oh, you're awake", Alice said, grinning wh

Please don't tell anyone that you're coming to see me, especially Christian"," And why that?"," I did the wrong thing towards him also, he'd hate it if you tell him you're coming to see me and he might not accept"," Christian isn't that type of a person, he holds no grudge"," Still," her voice became sadder, " I want you to forgive me and also help me ask him for forgiveness; I'm just scared he'd refuse you to come and see me."Clarisse sighed, " don't worry, I won't tell him", she accepted," Oh, you're such a darling!

    On a pair of jeans short and a blue crop top, Marissa sat on the floor with a glass cup of alcohol in her right hand. She sat on the floor with her elbow resting on her knees, staring blankly into space. Her heart felt heavy, her eyes felt tired, and her busy mind kept replying to memories, not just any memory but her memories with Christian.Remembering when he first got enrolled into the school and how they bumped into each other, spilling her milk on her shirt, how he became Ryan's best friend and automatically became hers as well.She remembered how she always stared at him, how handsome his cold face was, how she was always eager and impatient to see him again the following day, and when it was weekend, she'd suggest hangout, which he never agreed to, but she and Ryan would suddenly show up in his house. She chuckled when she remembered the expression he'd give them." Ah", she heaved a deep sigh.Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to s

Hey, you good?", Ryan asked moving on the couch," Of course not, I'm pissed", she said walking towards the fridge to get bottles of alcohol," What happened? Did someone upset you?"," More than upset me"," Who?"," Don't worry, just be my drinking buddy for this night", she said placing the bottles on the table." Tell me what happened, if not, I'm not drinking anything"," Ugh! Don't be childish, I called you to come over so that you can be my drinking buddy".Displeased to hear that, he sighed, " I will be your drinking buddy; I just need you to tell me what happened."Unable to keep it from him, she said fuming, "It didn't go as planned, the plan was to ruin the show, ruin the show dresses but she couldn't even get that done, she's so useless"," What, are you talking about?",Fuming, she said, "I want to make her pay, make her know her place, and not touch what belongs to other people.
