I looked at her coldly and kept silent. She whispered in my ear, “I put several times the amount of aphrodisiac in it.”
My heart tightened, I turned to stare at her. “You are despicable.”
She laughs by the next second. “Hahaha, otherwise, you really think that I will kill you? Your cheap life is not worth risking my life to gamble with you.” She pointed to the corner.
“See, in order to photograph the evidence of your sexual intercourse with a man, I even installed a camera to monitor you. In addition…”
She went to the man in black and patted him on the chest. “This man is for you to enjoy.”
“Zaniyah!” I roared with emotion.
“Don’t be so excited, my good sister. In a moment, when you are hungry and thirsty, you will be grateful to me for making such proper arrangements.”
She patted me on the shoulder, and I raised my hand and slapped Zaniyah hard. She looked at me with anger, raised her hand to fight back, and I pushed her to the ground.
Zaniyah pointed angrily at me. “You crazy bitch! In fact, I wanted to leave you some good thoughts, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.”
She told the black man, “Go and invite my good stepmother.”
The black man went out, I saw my mother was brought over towards Zaniyah’s place. Seeing her, I asked, “Are you all right?”
She shook her head. “You don’t need to worry, I am fine.”
Zaniyah came over and casually took my mother’s arm. “Of course, she is fine. She is my great hero. It is too late for me to thank her well. How can I hurt her?”
“What are you talking about?” I hesitated for a moment.
Zaniyah proudly hooked her lips. “If my aunt hadn’t paid attention to me, volunteered to shoot that fake kidnapping video, and used a bitter plan, how could I fool you today?”
I looked at my mother. She bowed her head guiltily. I felt down at that moment and took a step back, I said in some powerless way, “You… you helped each other… and lied to me?”
“Krista, I’m sorry, I had no choice but to help her as a mother.”
“Oh,” I clenched my fist.
I can hardly stand. “Get out, all of you, get out!”
Zaniyah smiled proudly and walked to me. “My good sister, I can rest assured that this spring night is worth a thousand dollars for a moment. I think you need to understand what your mother wants and I will give you this place. I wish you a piece of good luck, it is unfortunate to turn over the rain.”
Seeing her evil charm with a smile, she whispers in my ear, “Oh, right, just now, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, in order to let you have a good time, my sister, I have found you a good man with good body, but you should also know that having a good body means he had dealt with countless women, so… he is also sick. But you wanted to be a wealthy wife, right? Being infected with AIDS, will it be very exciting?”
I squinted at her, and my voice was slow. “Do you think I will let you succeed?”
She smiled confidently, “Krista, how strongly do you think people’s willpower can be? You can’t stand this medicine. I bet you that you will be miserable today.”
“Really, then wait and see.”
She turned and walked disdainfully, went to my mother, and took her arm. I look at my mother with resentment, I can’t forgive her selfishness and partiality. This is the first time that I hate her.
“Auntie, let’s go,” Zaniyah said with a flamboyant smile.
I raised my eyebrows, and there was alienation in my voice, “Ms. Delia.”
“Krista…”
“For the rest of your life, you will need to watch over the home that doesn’t belong to you. For a long time, you are lucky and happy and live continuously with peace of mind. After you die, don’t bury yourself in our ancestral graves. I am afraid that you will smirch my father’s way to reincarnation. In the afterlife, I only hope that you and my father will never meet again.”
I never want to see her again. From now on, she is a real stranger to me.
Delia’s POV
Seeing Krista’s serious hatred, I felt a little flustered. I wanted to say something, but Zaniyah took me by the arm and pulled me out directly. “Auntie, let’s go.”
Before Zaniyah walked out of the workshop door, the door closed slowly. As soon as the door closed, I looked at Zaniyah. “Zaniyah, there is no medicine in that water. You are just scaring her, right?”
She squinted at me, and the expression on her face was not as intimate as it had just been. I have always been a little afraid of my stepdaughter.
“What do you think?”
“Zaniyah, you’ve gone too far.”
After I said those words, I turned to push the door.
She raised her eyebrows and said coldly. “If you don’t let me be satisfied today, then your future will never stay in the Brennan family. You should know that I am Brent’s own daughter. My dad will not tear his face with his own daughter for you. You don’t know where to go, you can measure for yourself.”
“Krista is my own daughter.” I’m not happy.
“When you calculated her here with me just now, didn’t you know that she was your own daughter? For what happened before cannot be undone, her heart is broken, and you just realize it by now? She was born to you? Don’t pretend, a daughter can’t compare with a luxurious life. Your daughter is not as important as yourself in your eyes.”
“What you said earlier was a lie, you just want to scare her and relieve her anger. I just…” I feel guilty.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Zaniyah sarcastically smiled and continued talking. “She ruined my life and my future. If I don’t let her feel the same way, won’t I eat this loss for nothing?”
After a moment of silence, I turned to push the door. Zaniyah’s bodyguard stopped me and dragged me out.
I shouted, “Krista, mom doesn’t know there is medicine in that water, mom really doesn’t know, Krista, mom didn’t want to hurt you, mom really has difficulties, Krista…”
Krista’s POV
Her voice drifted away, I stayed in the abandoned workshop, but I heard her words clearly.
Difficulties…
A mother deceives her own daughter because of her difficulties? How bitter can this difficulty be, so that she can sacrifice her own daughter? I don’t know what her difficulties are. All I know is that maternal love is really worthless in Delia.
I walked silently to the windowsill and looked down. There are three floors, not too high. But if my head comes first, I’m afraid… there should be no chance of survival.
The man in black beside the door never moved. I looked back at him with anger in my eyes. “You should know that rape is a crime.”
“Of course, I know, but I’m already a living dead man. Do you think I’m afraid?”
I thought of what Zaniyah said just now, this man has AIDS. I sneered, “How much did she give you? I can pay her twice as much. You don’t have to commit a crime for this.”
“Your sister, she is a shrewd woman. She spent a lot of money and got the chips to control me. Today, I must take you down, otherwise, my parents, relatives, and friends will know what disease I have. You know, this is not a glorious disease. I can die, but I can’t harm the whole family by myself. I can’t let my family be looked down upon, so I’m sorry.”
I smiled bitterly. “But what should I do? I won’t let you succeed.”
The man walked slowly towards me, with a wipe of an evil smile on the corners of his mouth. “You can rest assured that for a while, even if I don’t go to you, you will beg me.”
When he finished speaking, he stood up and began to take off his clothes until only a pair of shorts remained.
“After I found out about my illness, I have slept with no less than a hundred women. You are the only one who knows that I am sick, and you are also the only rich lady. To be honest, even if a beautiful woman like you sleeps with me, you will die tomorrow. I think it is worth it. Anyway, I have harmed enough women, so I don’t lose anything.”
“Don’t you think you are shameless? Those innocent women have no grievances with you.”
