Sarah looked at her husband in horror.
Eloise slowly touched her cheek in shock.Her father just slapped her!She was never slapped by him before.
"Are you crazy?!Of all the people you offended, it has to be the Richardson family from the upper class?! The Richardson family is the richest family in the upper class circle!!Are you crazy?!!!"
"What?!", Sarah asked in shock.
"Daughter, is that true?!", she asked Eloise.
"This daughter of yours also offended the Castelli family!!!You!!You better delete your post and apologize!!Tell the truth to the public!!!", he angrily yelled to Eloise.
"What post?!", Sarah asked and immediately checked her phone.She stopped using social media after being scolded by the public so she doesn't know anything about what's happening outside.
Eloise clenched her first and glared at her father.So she was slapped because of her post?Why would she delete her post? Lia's the reason why Eiser broke up with her.She's the reason why her friends stopped hanging out with her at school.Lia's the reason why her mother is being cancelled by the public and couldn't act anymore.Lia's the reason why their family is in predicament everytime!!
"I won't delete it!", she said firmly but she was slapped again by her father.
Sarah Williamson felt extremely excited as she read the comments scolding Lia under her daughter's post.She was in joy seeing that ungrateful adopted wench's reputation was being destroyed by her own daughter.For her Lia deserves this.She was cancelled by the public and couldn't act anymore because of Lia.She couldn't understand why would the public pity a bastard.Lia deserves beating for being beautiful than her.She was proud of her daughter!Why would her daughter delete her post and tell the truth to the public?Her daughter had an affair with Eiser.Why would her husband want to destroy his daughter's reputation!
"Are you crazy?!Why should our daughter delete her post and tell the truth to the public?!Do you want to destroy our daughter's reputation?!That ungrateful wench deserves this!I couldn't act anymore because of her!I was cancelled by the public!!"
"Not you too, Wife!!I don't care about your hatred towards Lia!!Do you want my companies to be destroyed completely?!The Richardson family and Castelli family are brutally attacking our family business!!They want our daughter to delete the post, apologize and tell the truth to the public!!She even destroyed Eiser's reputation!!And the Castelli family is willing to tell the truth to the public!! Your daughter just offended the upper class families!!!Do you want us to live on the street and starve to death?!", he yelled angrily which made Sarah Williamson and Eloise stunned.
Sarah Williamson felt problematic.She badly wanted to destroy Lia but she doesn't want to live on street and starve to death.The street is not fitting for her.She was a former actress!She could imagine how people would react when they see her on the street.They would probably laugh.She also couldn't live without her luxury bags, luxury jewelries and comforting rich life.Why would she leave this kind of life?
Eloise couldn't imagine her life being on a street but her reputation is at stake!She doesn't want her reputation to be destroyed!Why is this so unfair?!
"Daughter, why don't you just do what your father says.We can't live on the street and starve to death.", Sarah Williamson.
Mr Williamson look at his daughter in displeasure and scoffed.
"You two are the reason why my companies are facing problems.You guys shouldn't have bullied that child in the first place.You better tell the truth to the public or else I'll chase you both out of this house.", Mr. Williamson threatened before leaving the living room.
Sarah Williamson felt scared while Eloise couldn't help but to cry.She sat down on the couch and her mother sat beside her.
Eloise began to write a message.
I apologize to Lia Williamson.Lia wasn't to one who destroyed my relationship with Eiser.It was I who destroyed their relationship.Lia has been in a relationship with Eiser for 7 months but I came and had an affair with Eiser while in their 3 months in a relationship.Eiser broke up with me 14 days ago.Lia also broke up with him 10 days ago after learning about Eiser's affair with me.My apologies to the people who was deceived.To Lia, I'm so sorry.I hope you'll forgive me.
Eloise posted the message and hatefully threw her phone on the floor.Her phone was damaged but she didn't care and cried.Now her reputation is finally destroyed adding to her labels after her love letter issue.She'll forever be called a gold digger and a sl*t.She hated Lia so much!
Sarah Williamson felt her heart ache at the sight of her daughter crying.She hugged her daughter to comfort her daughter.She can feel her daughter's pain.She too had suffered in Lia's hands.Her career was destroyed by Lia.She couldn't act anymore.Her face was even blurred to her previous several video in shows that was uploaded by channels.She used to be admired but now she was facing insults.She was completely being cancelled by the public.
They don't deserve this.They clearly don't deserve this.
She has to do something!She has to kill Lia.
"Don't worry daughter.Mom will do revenge for you."
"Revenge?"
"Yes."
Eloise didn't answer.Deep inside she was pleased.Eloised hugged her mother back and leaned her head on her mother's shoulder.She smiled evilly.
Revenge?Yes.She needs revenge for all the things they had suffered.She couldn't wait for Lia's downfall.
It was late at night and Lia is peacefully sleeping inside her room but her phone kept ringing.The caller persistently called her until Lia was woken up.Lia grabbed her phone and groaned.She sat down and answered the phone call.
"Lia.", the familiar voice of a woman called her and laughed evilly.
Lia's body froze hearing the voice.It was her adoptive mother's voice, Sarah.She didn't block Sarah and didn't change her phone number.She suddenly felt something is wrong according to Sarah's voice.Lia's eyes became dull.It was her habit to suppress her emotions.
"Your aunt Selene and his son..."
Lia's eyes went wide and her eyes became alert.
"What did you do to them?", she angrily asked.
"Ahahaha!It's been a long time since I heard that angry voice of yours!Since when was the last time?Decades ago?Hah!I badly wanted to see that angry face of yours!Compared to your dull eyes and silent response, I love that beautiful face of yours in anger, pain, aggrieved, despair.I badly wanna see your face cry again!!", she heard her mother said like a crazy woman.
Lia gripped her blanket.Right now, she was scared and nervous thinking what her mother had done to her Aunt Selene and Yanyan.
"Your Aunt Selene and Yanyan.We took them!Do you want to see your Aunt Selene and her son alive?"
Lia felt extremely angry and scared.She is panicking.She knows Sarah.Sarah can do unimaginable things.She knows Sarah can kill Aunt Selene and Yanyan anytime.Aunt Selene is like her real mother and Yanyan is like her brother.Both of them took a great care of her.Both of them are. important to her life.She can't let Sarah kill them.She can't.She have to do something.
"Hahaha!!Why don't you go to their restaurant right now and see?Ah!Don't tell your anyone.Don't bring anyone with you!Don't you dare end this call.", she heard her mother's threatening voice.
Lia got out of her bed in a hurry and opened her room's door.She touched her chest with her free hand nervously.She couldn't feel her heart beat beating loudly at all!At this hour, Alaric, Xavier and Naftali is already asleep so the huge penthouse unit is quietly dark.
She gripped her phone near her ear while walking in a hurry and got out of the unit.She ran towards the elevator.
Her mother is still talking to her.
"Do you know why I keep beating you Lia? It's because you deserve it.I was so jealous of your face.Why can't I have that beautiful face of yours?When I saw your angelic face with a smile at the orphanage.I hated it.You keep smiling.A happy go lucky child.I hated it so much."
Lia hurriedly ran away when she got down from the Sterling Heights.The streets are almost empty.It took her a long time to hail a taxi.She told the driver her destination.
"I have a drunkard father and mother.They always beat me ever since I was a child.They said I'm ugly.When I saw your smiling face as a child, I was jealous.You're so beautiful.Why do you keep smiling?How do you keep smiling?I wanna destroy that smiling face."
When Lia arrived and out of the car.Her heart sank at the sight of the destroyed restaurant.
She hurriedly walked towards the destroyed restaurant and entered while breathing hard as if catching her breath.The glass walls were broken.The television is damaged.The tables and chairs are in a mess.
She hurriedly went second floor where Aunt Selene stay at night with Yanyan but she couldn't find them.
Lia began to panic even more.
"What did you do to them?", Lia asked her mother in difficulty with a trembling voice.
"Why don't you go here at Antonio District, Zone 4?"
Lia immediately ran from the destroyed restaurant and hailed a taxi towards the Antonio District, Zone 4.
When she arrived, the place is remote and was filled with trees.
"I'm here.Where are you?"
"Can you see the abandoned building far?Come here."
Lia ran towards the abandoned building.She felt like her feet are getting heavier the more she's getting nearer the abandoned building.She was also catching here breath in difficulty while entering the building.
Her body went frozen when she saw two bodies lying on the floor with their blood.Few meters away from her.
Aunt Selene and Yanyan?
She tried to deny and slowly walked towards the bodies.Lia's eyes went dizzy as her heart beat sounded like a drum.She knows there's other people in this building but the only thing she could hear is her heart beat.Her focus is only towards the bodies few meters away from her.
When she saw the face of the two bodies soaked in blood.Lia's trembling legs finally lost balance.She slumped on the floor with her tears ceaselessly fall.
It was really Aunt Selene and Yanyan.
Aunt Selene was always there for her since she was a child.She stayed strong in that hellish house because of Aunt Selene.Aunt Selene would comfort her and cry with her through her hard times.She took care of her.She loves her like her own daughter.Now Aunt Selene is gone.
They killed her.Her mother killed Aunt Selene!It was because of her!It was because of her!
She felt a cold gun against the back of her head.
"Hahahaha!I hate you so much Lia!I worked so hard to be a famous actress but you destroyed everything!I regret adopting you.You're such an ungrateful wench!I lost endorsement contracts, I was scolded by the public and I cannot act anymore.You not only destroyed mine but you also destroyed my daughter's reputation!!I cannot accept this!You're nothing but just that beautiful face!You should always be forever beneath my daughter!!Why don't you just die, Lia?", Sarah said to Lia and sat down beside Lia to see her face while still not removing the gun against the back of Lia's head.
"Yes.Kill me.", Lia softly answered and looked at Sarah with cold blank eyes.
Sarah couldn't help but to curse in the startle and stepped back in fright.She also accidentally dropped the gun behind Lia.Lia's pale face against the moonlight is so frightening like a ghost.
Lia turned around and took the gun.She looked at the two corpses for a second before moving her cold blank gaze to the frightened Sarah.She held the gun against the side of her head.
'Without Aunt Selene, I couldn't find my purpose of living.Up until now, I still haven't repaid them.If I can come back to life again, I swear.I'll protect Aunt Selene and Yanyan.This woman in front of me.The woman who I called mother just killed my Aunt Selene and brother Yanyan.The people who I cherish the most.In my next life, I will cut down all my ties with the Williamson family.Whether they die or not, I don't care anymore.She doesn't deserve to be my mother.The Williamson family is no longer my family.'
Those were her last thoughts before pulling the trigger of the gun.
