“Nora, are you surprised to see me standing in front of you? Excited? Thrilled?”
Now that she had revealed her identity, Danielle didn’t bother hiding anymore. She grabbed the button on the raincoat and pulled it down.
The black raincoat fell to the ground as Nora looked on nervously.
Underneath the coat, Danielle wore a red fleece dress that revealed scars all over her chest, ankles and arms. She looked like a ghost in red clothing – scary and intimidating. Her once beautiful face was now covered in wounds that destroyed her appearance.
“Ahh!”
Nora couldn’t help but scream at the sight of this terrifying face. She kept backing away while trying to appease Danielle with fake concern.
“Danielle, why didn’t you tell me you were coming out? I could have picked you up.”
As she spoke, Danielle gave an obvious sneer and lifted Nora’s chin with her foot – an insulting gesture.
When had proud Nora ever been treated like this before? While feeling wronged inside, she cursed why Danielle hadn’t just died in prison instead.
It seemed like being too kind had caused all these troubles for herself.
“Really? Are you truly happy to see me?”
Danielle was different now; no longer the naive girl who could be easily deceived by others’ lies. Only those who have experienced darkness can recognize whether someone is human or ghostly at night.
People like Nora are two-faced bitches. humans during daylight hours but ghosts at night.
In the past, she was blind enough not to see through Nora’s Angelic bitch side.
She treated Nora as a good friend and confidant; sharing everything with her without reservation.
Whenever Nora said someone wasn’t pleasing to look at or needed punishment,
Danielle would stand up for her even if it meant offending others.
But what happened?
Every time when she stood up for Nora against someone else, it was always she who stopped her first
Danielle was the one who managed to offend people, while Nora was the one praised for her generosity, kindness, and remarkable tolerance.
Despite Danielle’s indulgence and occasional stubbornness, she remained oblivious to the fact that she had become a mere pawn in Nora’s quest for revenge. Astonishingly, Danielle even accompanied Nora to various upscale events.
Meanwhile, behind Danielle’s back, Nora secretly seduced her own brother. Taking advantage of Danielle’s imprisonment, Nora manipulated individuals within the prison to torment her.
From the moment Danielle planned her escape from prison, she never thought she would live to see the end of her life. Her beloved brother had died, and the Parry family was no more. As a result, Danielle, who was once a prominent member of the Parry family did not inherit their company. To make matters worse, Jane ended up with control over the Parry Group – something that made Danielle seethe with anger.
So Danielle swore to herself that even if it meant dying trying, she would bring Nora and Jane down with her. The tattoo on her arm symbolized Nemesis – a cruel and bloodthirsty goddess of revenge.
The first thing Danielle did after being released from prison was travel to Onistead to find Nora. The Lawrence family wasn’t as well-known in Onistead as they were in Akloit; it took some time for Danielle to locate them.
George had cheated on Jane and invested poorly which led to bankruptcy; now he lived with his family in poverty-stricken conditions. But Nora still managed to exude charm despite everything – even though her body was dirty and disgusting-looking at times – attracting rich second-generation men who were brain-dead enough not to woo her.
If Mrs. Prince hadn’t angrily announced Stephen’s disinheritance which made headlines, then perhaps Danielle wouldn’t have found Nora at all. Media outlets loved nothing more than creating rumors or following leads wherever they could find them.
One YouTuber named “Fishbubble” discussed Nora’s feud with Master Stephen on their channel. how she seduced his friend’s brother while living in Akloit; how she got pregnant but miscarried; how she schemed against her own sister for inheritance money by playing both sides of several relationships just so men would shower gifts upon her… revealing what lay beneath Nora’s innocent exterior. a heart full of venomous snakes!
This particular video became popular because it involved the Prince family drama. Starting off with only hundreds of views before quickly skyrocketing into millions! Comments flooded Fishbubble’s channel, asking “Who is this Angelic Bitch?” Once photos were released online showing who exactly this person was – someone replied saying that “She is Onistead Art University’s school belle.”
Onistead Art University wasn’t very big compared to other universities around the town, but thanks largely to its association with Master Stephen, everyone knew about Nora! Countless male students had fallen head-over-heels for both her talent and beauty alike!
However, since the Lawrence Family went bankrupt and news broke out about what happened between George and Jane – people started calling out names like ‘whore’ whenever they mentioned Nora’s name… Most people didn’t think much highly of someone like that anymore!
Someone took pictures of her and Master Stephen going in and out of the hotel, and posted them in the comments section. The post became so popular that it was pinned to the top.
Danielle easily found the hotel, bought all the necessary tools, and waited for Nora in an underground parking lot near the hotel. She waited like a hunter waiting for prey.
Sure enough, Nora came back from the underground parking lot. Danielle quickly subdued her with a burlap sack and put her in the trunk of a car. They drove to an abandoned factory more than thirty kilometers away from Onistead.
Nora never thought that Danielle would find out what she had done. She blamed everything on Cheyenne and thought she had pulled off a perfect scheme.
Now she could only try to win over Danielle with their past friendship.
“Danielle, why do you think this way? You are my only friend, I’m glad you came out.”
She paused for a moment before continuing with a sad look on her face. “I wanted to visit you when you were in prison too.”
“But as you know, something happened between me and your brother which caused me to have an miscarriage.”
“I woke up from surgery only to be told by doctors that I needed rest because my health wasn’t well. So I stayed at home for one-and-a-half months.”
“My mom was afraid I would worry too much so she kept everything outside hidden from me.”
“Your brother’s death was caused by Jane! That woman not only killed your brother but also became my dad’s mistress which led our family into bankruptcy!”
As Nora spoke these words, tears filled her eyes; her voice trembled weakly as if she were about to break down completely.
“Danielle,” said Nora desperately, trying to convince her friend, “I’m telling you everything honestly here! I wanted to visit but then my family suddenly decided we needed move house – there was nothing I could do about it!”
“But didn’t I write letters? Did you receive them?”
Letters? Danielle’s expression turned cold instantly; if it weren’t for those letters then, she wouldn’t have known what kind of person Nora really is!
