CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY
HARLEY’S POV
I still could not pinpoint why I moved Grandma El’s body from where it was, I wondered what Catherine was going to use the dead body for because I mean she is dead so therefore her body whatsoever is useless, but what can I say at least I am not the first thief.
Natasha had given me specific instructions earlier on to secure Grandma El’s body because of the potion that had been used on Nikky, she mentioned the fact that the potion could make Nikky do any of my biddings except to kill and that if I wanted Nikky to kill I needed the dead body of a dead witch.
And viola, who better than the dead Grandma El, it felt like a thing of joy because everything was singing in the right places for me, Grandma El dying at the exact time I needed her body that’s just the moon goddess been on my side and giving me a sign that I am the next Luna, only that wicked people like Catherine has refused to get out of my way. Well with the plans I have in store for her, she has no other option other than to get out of my way.
I quickly moved the body to Natasha’s haunted house without anybody noticing it, the body was so heavy that it almost broke my back.
“I mean how can a dead person be this heavy”, I said to Natasha after letting go of the body.
“Well, what can I say”, she chucked.
“I gave her a tiring eye,
” I need rest, I said as I hoped on the sofa closest to me
“You sure do, but I want to know what’s with the outfit, why are you dressed covering all your body”? She asked
” Natasha you’re supposed to know, I do not want anyone seeing me, I cannot afford to implicate myself”, I said to her jokingly.
“Well, that’s fine you can leave now, by morning the rest of the deal. Would be sealed up”, she replied.
I couldn’t believe that my wishes would finally be granted to me. Ava and Jaxon would be out of my way for good, I’ll get what I deserve finally. There would be no Catherine, just me and Burke against the world.
I was the happiest person, now Nikky can help me kill Ava and Jaxon without any obstruction, isn’t that sweet?
I hurried back home, to celebrate my happiness with a nice dinner prepared by the maid. Catherine was seated in the living room. She looked worried but I couldn’t care less. I am always a step ahead of her and she needs to get that fact right by now but she does underestimate me.
I walked past her as I was too overjoyed to banter words with her. I went to the kitchen to check what’s in store for me.
“Who is on duty today?”I asked the maid.
“I am my lady”, she replied.
“I want you to prepare my favorite, I’ll be celebrating tonight”, I said.
“Yes my lady”, she replied.
“I’ll be doing my celebration alone so you’d bring the food to my room”, I said.
I don’t want anyone to know why I am celebrating in this chaotic season, they would think I had something to do with Grandma El’s body so I have to erase every suspicion from me.
I quickly took my bath in the shower and got dressed, I lit up the scented candle on my table and began humming to myself.
I heard a knock on my door suddenly, my heart skipped, I hoped nobody had found out what I did to Grandma El’s body or Nikky’s.
“Who is it?”, I asked shakily.
“It’s me, my lady”, the maid answered.
The relief that came from her answer was soothing, I thought they had found me.
I stood up from the corner of the bed and unlocked the door “You can drop it on the table and leave, thank you”, I said to her.
“Thank you, my lady”, she replied.
I ate like it was my last night in the world, my stomach was so full that I didn’t even notice when I slept off.
I woke up to a messy and disarranged room, it was like I had a party in my room, and my head still hurt from the alcohol I took.
“Oooh shit, I have to meet up with Natasha so she can give me feedback”.
I hurried into the bathroom and had a very quick bath. I was looking forward to good news from Natasha because that would be the obvious reason for all this celebration.
I hurried out of the house without speaking with anybody and in no time it was at Natasha’s haunted house.
“It’s about time, I thought you were not going to show up”, she said.
“How could I not, I only just overslept and it was because I was dreaming about my beautiful future that I didn’t wake up early”, I replied with a smile.
“Well, you’ll have your beautiful future but for now I need the potion I gave you the other day, I need to mix some things with it”, she said.
I took the potion out of my purse and handed it over to her.
She did some mixing that I could not understand, but who cares at least I understood the results.
“Here, you go”, she said, handing the bottle back to me, this time you’re going to take a little sip of it and talk to Nikky. She would be loyal to you, she would help you kill whoever you want, however, you shouldn’t forget your promise to me”, she said.
“Natasha, I’m so grateful, thank you very much, I promise I won’t forget my promise to you, you’re dream come true”, I said thankfully.
” You are very much welcome”, she replied.
” What’s going to happen to the body?” I asked curiously.
” Leave that for me to decide, run along now go home before I change my mind”, she replied fiercely.
I stood up from where I was seated and ran with the speed of light, having so much power in my hands made me feel like the moon goddess herself.
I got home and the house was still very much empty. I knew I had to call Nikky before anyone else.
I walked straight to her room and knocked on the door.
“Who is there ?” A voice came from inside.
“It’s me Aunt Hayley”, I replied. I quickly took a little of the potion before the door finally came open.
“Nikky, I have a murder job for you,” I said authoritatively.
“I’ll do whatever you want,” she replied.
“Hmmm, Catherine the party just got better”…
