All Chapters of The Mask She Wears: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ivan|| The lust and alcohol evaporated from my body as I jumped off to leave. "Hey! What of my money?" The stripper called as I raced to the door. I stopped and reached into my back pocket for my wallet and retrieved four hundred dollar bills and flung them towards her before running out of the room. I pushed through the throng of men and strippers, stepping on some feet as I headed for the exit muttering apologies for the complaints I was getting. My phone rang again and dug into my pocket looking for it hoping to see it was Tania calling with any more news about my grandma but it was only Peter calling. He must have seen me as I rushed out of the club and must have wanted to find out why I was leaving in such a rush. I did not answer the call as I practically ran through the parking lot to where I had parked my car. I would text him later when I had the time. Right now, my grandma needed me. As I got into my car, I put it in reverse and accelerated so fast I almost rammed int

Tania||On impulse, I pulled my hands away from her grip.I could feel the anger creeping up my face as I was in no way pleased with what Nana had said."What's wrong, Tania?" Nana was surprised at my reaction.From the corner of my eyes, I could see Ivan gawking at me in shock and disbelief at what I had done. But I was done playing this game. I had my life to live."Everything is wrong!" I hissed gesticulating with my hands."Tania," Ivan said softly as if he was trying to communicate something to me as he moved to my side, but I ignored him."Did I say something wrong?" Nana asked shocked, her wrinkled face made more wrinkled with the worry she felt, and I wanted to scream.The shocked look on her face was pissing me off more than what she had said. How could she say such unhinged things and pretend like it was normal?"You keep talking about a grandchild like it is some chore I am expected

Tania||I tugged at the navy-blue pin-striped pencil skirt I was wearing as I alighted from the cab right in front of the office complex of the White-Angel company —as it had ridden up my thighs in the cab.There was a lot of human traffic on the sidewalk. A lot of people walked into the office complexes to resume their duties for the new week.The sounds of cars driving by, and their horns interlaced with the cacophony of voices and footsteps created a background song to my self-declared movie.I lifted my head and gazed at the giant sign of the White-Angel company and a flood of warmth flowed in my stomach.—Today was day one of my revenge mission and I was very well prepared for it.I pushed back the Bayonetta glasses I had ordered over the weekend from A****n. They had been one of the basics for the office siren starter pack I had researched deeply on P*******t and which I had dressed accordingly.Over my pin-striped pencil skirt with the side front slit, I had worn a very tight-fi

Tania|| The rest of my day was sad. I could not find a way to shake off the thought that I was on the verge of losing the company completely even though Marcus had reassured me of his efforts and how it would not happen.I abandoned my mission for that day and ensured I stayed away from Nicholas much to the satisfaction of my colleague, Olga.To avoid Nicholas, I took a tour around the company to see what had changed and what had remained the same and possibly to pick up some gossip.I could see Nicholas's touch everywhere as new faces outnumbered the familiar faces in the company.With every discovery, I lost hope in the success of my mission and thought of ways to only get my sister out alive and forget about the company because of how bleak the situation was.I was so mentally exhausted that I wished I could go home but I knew that it was not possible since every employee was expected to sign out by four p.m. and no

Tania||I swung my hips from side to side, seductively, in the tight fitting white dress i had worn today as I returned to the office complex from the cafe.The outcome with my meeting with Marcus had lightened my spirits and strengthened my purpose, and I was back on the revenge track."You have not done any of the tasks you were assigned to today." Kamala said, disapproving as I walked into the office.Her tone was harsh and tinged with disdain, but I was too happy to care."Olga would do it. The boss requires me to do some tasks for him." I said without giving her a seconds glance as I walked past her and into the office.I heard a faint sound of a hiss come from Kamala, and I made a mental note to add her to my list of possible stumbling blocks.I knocked twice in the door leading to Nicholas office and did not wait for an answer before I turned the door handle, opened the door, and waltzed into the office.Nicholas rose his head from whatever it was he had been focused on to see
