I had gotten under Carol’s skin, and become her friend, even though it was clear that she did not like me a lot. Who needed her to like me, anyway? I just needed to use her to do what needed to be done, after which she could go hang for all I care.As I said earlier, Carol proved to be the most foolish and accommodating person that I have ever met in my entire life, so much so that till today, I wonder what Sebastian saw in her, with all his intelligence. Maybe it was her big boobs. Intelligent men too fall for big boobs.Anyway, that’s by the way. Once I befriended Carol, I began to pry into her private life. She was very willing to talk, since she had no friends she could talk to, and she was already in love with Sebastian, who showed no signs of reciprocating her feelings. By this time, I had released Jessica, and during an ‘operation,’ one of my goons had shot at and injured her, instead of killing her, so she was in a coma in the hospital.Carol was worried about whether Sebastia

The meeting
"Okay." Carol conceded, glaring at me, but I did not even bother to glance her way. Instead, I was looking around the spacious living room with its tasteful decorations and all the expensive artifacts that graced its walls. Before long, the maid was back to tell us that Mr. James was awake and had instructed that we be allowed to come to see him immediately. The maid then left us to go upstairs by ourselves, since Carol knew the way. She led the way slowly, and I followed her behind, my heart pounding for reasons best known to it. "Take note that he is a very sick man. Please, do not strain him too much." Carol cautioned. "You keep saying that, but I still don't know what you mean. Do you think that I'm going to make him run a marathon, or make him do hard labor, or what?" "No, but you kind of talk a lot, no offense. I talk a lot too, but that’s according to Sebastian, though. Besides, you are sometimes rude. I respect Mr. James a lot, and so I would not like it if you were disre

How it went
"Yes, she did. She went to attend one of her niece's weddings. If not for my ill health, I would have also gone to the wedding." Mr. James replied Carol."Oh okay. When will she be back?""She was going to come back today ... as soon as the wedding is over. She doesn't like to be away from me for too long, and neither do I like her being away. It's always been like that. However, I asked her to wait till tomorrow to do that. There's no point in her hurrying back. She should be able to spend some time with other people and not just with me in this death room." Mr. James said, chuckling weakly. Soon, he set his plate of food aside, having eaten only a minute fraction of it."Oh, don't bother yourself about that. The maid always piles up food on my plate, despite knowing I can't eat much. She probably hopes that doing so would force me to eat." He explained when he saw Carol glance at the uneaten food."It's quite a nice house that you have over here, Mr. James," I told him, after almost

Alone with the prey
I should probably run away from this place and go into hiding immediately. That seemed to be the best option right now. Who knew, Jessica could very well be giving the police information at that moment and implicating me. Never in my life had I been to prison before, and I definitely had no plans of going there now, all because the idiots that I had assigned a job to, could not carry out the job well. I should have ended Jessica myself when I had the chance. I suddenly became aware that Carol was saying something, so I paused my train of thought."Wait. I wasn't listening. What did you say?" I asked her."Oh. I wasn't talking to you. I was only telling Mr. James that you and I had plans of visiting Jessica tomorrow, but that we can as well go today so that we can help him deliver his flowers. I want to get her flowers, as well as some other things that she might need, now that she has woken up.""Oh, ok. That's good. Here, take this money and get her some flowers for me too." I told C

Warning
"I told you to stop yelling. The headache is getting worse. Help me get to the bed so I can lie down. I'm too tired to sit." He told me. I glared at him, not moving an inch, and leaving him no choice but to stay put."You'll sit there and you'll answer all the questions I have. I want to know about the will. Do I and my brother have anything?""Please lower your voice. No one should hear about any of this. You and your brother will be settled outside the will. My wife can't know about it.""My wife can't know about it," I repeated mockingly, sneering at him. “It was because of this same wife that you abandoned us, wasn't it?""I never abandoned you guys...""Bloody liar! Don't lie to me! My mom told me all about it. Do you think I can’t remember that horrible day? The day you paid my mom off? I was there and I remember every single moment of it. I remember how my mom lay awake crying every night after that for weeks. Do you know what that does to a girl? It tears her apart, that's wha

Unbelievable
My heart began to quicken at this news. He was leaving Charles and I a billion dollars? That was a shit ton of money and far more than I had expected. This man was stinkingly rich, then. However, quick on the heels of this elation, came realization. If he was leaving a billion dollars to me and Charles, only God knew how much he would be giving out to that Sebastian, or even worse, the bitch he called his wife. Money that should be rightfully mine. I must find that will, and destroy it before Carol got back, I knew.“Charlotte, dear. Do you mind if I explained my side of things? I don't want you to keep going through life thinking that I purposely abandoned you and your brother. I would never do that." Mr. James informed me."There's no point. Carol will be back soon." I replied tensely. All I wanted was for this to be all over and by all over, that meant that I should have dealt with Jessica too. Only then would I be happy and then I could disappear without anyone suspecting me of an

"Naturally, I did not believe her one bit, and I was desperate to keep the fact that I had cheated on her from my wife, so I warned her to stay away from me. I believed that she was crazy, and soon after that, I moved away from that city and did not hear from her again, which was just as well as far as I was concerned. Seven years later, she showed up out of the blue and began to harass me, showing up at my factories and offices and seeking an audience with me by every means possible. This time, she was using drugs heavily and was desperate for a fix. She began to blackmail me, saying she would go to my wife and tell her everything. Since I was a hundred percent sure that I wasn't the one who got her pregnant, I asked for a paternity test, which shockingly, proved I was the father. I was devastated, as any man would be. I finally had it all... a happy family and a booming business, and now my happy family was going to crumble. The major problem was how I was going to inform my wife o

Shell-shocked
"I was the one who kidnapped and tortured Jessica," I said, watching Mr. James closely and mischievously to see his reaction. He looked shell-shocked at first and then I saw doubt and pity creep into his eyes. He thought that I was crazy. Fuck him! I did not need his pity, and I’m definitely not crazy! It was funny that he thought so at first, but it definitely isn't funny any longer."Excuse me?""You heard me. I kidnapped and tortured Jessica, after which I lied to her that you were the one who asked me to do it and she, in turn, told Sebastian about it.""Charlotte, why would you do that to poor Jessica? That’s a very evil and callous thing to do to anyone. Why would you do that?" Mr. James asked sadly."Why do you think? To get revenge against you, of course, and I can see that it's working very well. To think that Sebastian caused you to have a heart attack that worsened your condition is really the best thing to happen to me in a long while. Oh, don't look so surprised. Carol is

Information at last
"I'll gladly take the blame for everything and let people believe that I was behind everything, just as you've made Sebastian believe. Just please leave the poor girl alone. She's suffered enough." Mr. James told me desperately."Ah, but there's a problem with that solution, and that problem is that she knows my face almost as well as I know my face, and knows that I tortured her, so I'll surely be an accomplice ... oh, I forgot. That is nearly not as bad as the fact that she will know that I also killed Victoria, or at least, ordered people to do it. No, no, your theory won’t work at all. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick to my initial plan ... or lack of it." I said, chuckling in amusement as I finished. I knew that I was talking too much, but I was so excited. Mr. James was already reacting to the drugs that I had slipped into his drink earlier, right under his nose. In a few minutes, he would be disoriented enough to loosen his guard and tell me where the will was, and then I cou

New plans
All that is in the past now, but unfortunately, I also had failed myself dismally, in that I had been unable to finish off Jessica because Carol interrupted me. The result of this gross error was that Jessica had opened her mouth and blabbed out everything to everyone who cared to listen, which is when all my troubles began.Now, here I am, running up and down, a damn fugitive, but I’m not one to leave something halfway done. Jessica should have simply kept her wide mouth shut as I asked her to, and I sure as hell wouldn’t have been going after her. Besides, Charles needed to be taught a lesson and what better way to do that than to go after his beloved wife?After I escaped from jail with the help of my long-time boyfriend, I have been laying low and will continue to do so for a while.
