Episode_12

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Jessica took in a deep breath, feeling like confusion was her middle name. It had been hours since Andy left and she still could not put the pieces together.

Now that she was actually thinking, she could not imagine Andy raping anyone. She had spent a night with Andy in the same room and he had kept his promise by not touching her. Due to her experience with men and how much she had been pressurized by them to grace their beds, she knew that men were always very sexually provoked.

But Andy? Andy had kept his word that night even though it meant inconveniencing himself by sleeping on the floor.

Sonia! Jessica exhaled. Sonia had been just like a sister to her, the same way the other two were to her but Sonia was the closest.

Her easy going nature made it very easy to talk to her without expecting an argument to come up. She was friends with everyone because of her quiet nature.

The Sonia she knew would avoid trouble like a plague but now, Jessica was not sure she knew Sonia. But why shouldn't she? Why should she doubt Sonia? She had known Sonia for more than three years and now she wanted to believe Andy who was more or less a stranger to her. She hasn't even known him for five months! Jessica swallowed.

One thing still seemed off point though. Sonia hadn't called ever since the incident happened. That was very strange. The Sonia she knew would want to explain everything all over again and make sure no one was holding a grudge against her. That Sonia would want to know if she was OK. That Sonia would want to explain to her how she found out about the secret she was hiding and also find out why Jessica hadn't confided in her.

Was Lizzy right? Could Sonia be jealous of her? Lizzy was right to say that Jessica was too trusting.

One would expect that after the experience Jessie had with her former best friend, that Jessica would be wary of friends, but no. Jessica still defends her friends. Still saw the good in everyone.

The only set of people she managed to be wary of were men, but even at that, it had not taken much to get her to fall for Andy, and ultimately fall into his bed.

Bed? Yes, that was another thing. She had given Andy her treasure and the annoying thing was that she held no regrets whatsoever. Even when she had told Andy that their love-making and all that accompanied it was a mistake, she had only said it on the surface, and she hadn't meant it.

Those few hours she spent with Andy, having him treat her like a queen, was the best experience of her life. She could not recall any other thing being more wonderful. But that was a problem.

Jessica sighed. If she had to leave Andy, it would be more painful than all the other break-ups she has had put together. But this time, it won't be a break-up, it would be a divorce.

Jessica started pacing the room. Her life was in shambles. A contract marriage is definitely the worst thing you can ever consider in life.

She knew she had feelings for Andy but she didn't think she should call it love yet. It was a different kind of feeling. A feeling she had never experienced with anyone. Seeing him in pains earlier had affected her in a very strange way. She had felt his pain like it was hers.

"OK, where is she?"

Paulina's voice brought her back to her surroundings. What is she doing here? Jessica wondered. As Paulina's footsteps drew closer to the room, Jessica groaned. She knew she was in for it.

The door opened as she sat on the bed. "Jessica" Paulina breathed and hugged Jessica until Jessica thought her bones would break.

"Sweetheart, why didn't you call me uhn?" Paulina sat beside Jessie.

"Thought you would be busy in school, teaching your children" Jessie answered, although the main reason was because she did not want anyone to fuss over her.

"That is silly of you. You and the others are my priority, you should know that. I could have taken a sick leave or something. How are you baby?"

"I am fine mummy".

"Don't call me that. And don't you tell me that you are fine because you are not, Lizzy told me everything",

"Then why did you ask?"

"Wanted to hear it from your mouth" Paulina replied. Jessica raised her brow casually in response. "So, what are you going to do?"

Jessica let out a breath. "I don't know".

"I don't know what got into that girl. She must be so selfish".

Jessica looked at Paulina critically. "You think she is the one at fault?".

"You think your husband is at fault?" Paulina countered.

"You don't trust Sonia?"

"You don't trust your husband?" Paulina countered again.

Jessica pushed her hands through her hair and stood up. "I don't know what I think Pauline. I don't know what to make of what I saw".

Jessica was more frustrated.

Paulina knew nothing about the contract and obviously expected Jessie to trust her husband more than she was doing, that much was clear to Jessica.

Paulina stood and went to stand beside Jessica. She turned Jessie until she was facing her.

"Sweetheart, let me give you the lesson I had to learn the hard way: never let a friend come between you and your man; not me, not Lizzy, not Sonia, or anyone. Unless you have very tangible and undeniable evidence, trust your husband always".

🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬✒🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬

The following day, Andy was feeling too nervous. he hadn't heard anything from Jessica ever since he left Lizzy's house the previous day.

In a few hours, it would be time for the party his father had organized and he still did not know if he would be attending because there was no way he would attend without his own wife.

He heard a knock on his bedroom door. "What is it Ada?" he called out without checking who it was.

"Someone is here to see you sir" he heard Ada respond…

"Who is it?" he yelled out of anger but heard no response. He stood up reluctantly and moved to the sitting room but his anger dissolved when he saw the person standing there.

"Jess" he breathed.

Jessica felt shaky as Andy's gaze drove into her. Suddenly, meeting his eyes was not so possible. Andy did not leave where he was standing, at the far end of the sitting room, so she was forced to go and meet him.

Standing directly in front of him, she looked at the floor, then his white short sleeved shirt. "The party is today" she said at a loss for words.

"Yes" Andy's heart was pounding but he looked as calm as the open sea. "Is that why you came".

"No" she turned away from his overbearing presence and walked slightly away. "But I don't know if I can state why I came. I don't know if I should put my trust in you."

Andy placed his hand on her shoulder and turned her. "I know you have gone through a lot Jess, all I want is a chance to make you happy. Please Jess".

"I am scared Andy. I am scared that you would crush my heart like so many people have and I don't think I can-"

Andy kissed her deeply, stopping her words. She returned his kiss, as the memories of the past few days flashed through her head. There was no doubt in her mind that Andy loved her. His hands shook slightly as he held her, with his heart racing against her chest.

"I would not make you cry again Jessica, I promise" Andy said breathlessly.

"I love you Andrew".

Andy smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time in years.

"I love you Jessica".

The exquisite hall was filled to the brim with people. Andy and Jessica had arrived late because they have been so preoccupied with their newly found love. Their father had sent a driver to pick them up. They both stared at the building with anticipation.

They had both decided that the party was very perfect because it would be a means of starting all over again.

..

Andy smiled at Jessica. "Jess, you look absolutely stunning sweetheart".

Jessica looked at her fingers feeling shy and nervous. She was putting on a short black gown which clung to her skin. It contrasted perfectly with her skin, making her eyes twinkle.

"I got you something" he pulled out a box and opened it. Jessica gasped as she saw the sparkling jewelry in the box.

"Andy" she gasped. She hadn't worn jewelry for a very long time.

"I saw this when I was returning from Lizzy's place and I could only imagine you wearing it." He ran his fingers on it. "May I?"

She nodded and turned. Andy raised the necklace and put it carefully around her neck, moving her hair in order to secure the hook. He put the bracelet around her wrist and put the ear-rings in her ear. She looked breathtaking.

"Thanks" she murmured.

He opened the door and stepped out. He stretched his hand to her and she put her hand in his. "I hope you enjoy your evening my lady" he leaned down and kissed her.

🔑💖💖🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭

The party was going on smoothly. The crowd was as full as the wedding day, with numerous family members and friends. There was actually no one that Jessica knew that was not there, including her uncle and his family; her friends and others. Andy and Jessica had met about half of the invited guests and were busy chatting with some friends when their attention was drawn to the podium.

Andy's father stood there with the microphone in his hand.

"Hello everyone, I am so happy that you were able to make it today. I was not around for my own son's wedding but now, I do not feel so bad. I have a surprise for you".

Everyone applauded him but the smile on Jessica and Andy's faces vanished when Sonia surfaced.

"Come up here my dear".

"Oh my God" Lizzy gasped as she stared at Sonia.

"This girl here has something to tell everyone about the couple" Mr. Williams announced.

He handed over the microphone to Sonia, who took it with a smile. Jessica felt like she could not breathe. Andy was just glued to the ground, staring with horror.

Everyone applauded him but the smile on Jessica and Andy's faces vanished when Sonia surfaced.

"Come up here my dear".

"Oh my God" Lizzy gasped as she stared at Sonia.

"This girl here has something to tell everyone about the couple" Mr. Williams announced. He handed over the microphone to Sonia, who took it with a smile. Jessica felt like she could not breathe. Andy was just glued to the ground, staring with horror.

"Hello everyone".

"What are you doing Sonia?" Lizzy yelled.

Sonia ignored. "Hello everyone, I am sorry to inform you that Jessica is a fraud" gasps of surprise followed the announcement. "She pressured Andy into marrying her so that she can make away with most of his money. She planned to penetrate the company in order to escape with 20 million naira."

Everyone had horrified looks on their faces. "I heard Jessica telling Lizzy this. She planned to divorce Andy once she gets the money." She looked straight at Jessica. "Am I lying Jessie?"

Jessica concentrated on taking in air and releasing it but even at that, her breathing was terribly fast and her chest was heaving. No! This is not happening! She tried to shake herself to see if she would awaken from this horrible nightmare but she could not even muster enough energy to move a muscle. Her horrible life of constant nightmares and disasters seem to be adding another event to the pent-up list.

"Answer me Jessica, is this information false?" Sonia screamed.

Andy, who had been glued to the spot, too stupefied to do anything suddenly charged to the front, marching to the podium. All he could see was Sonia and he would not stop till he got to her.

A viselike grip dragged him back and he struggled, succeeding, due to his great strength. He did not even have the time to check the face of the person that stopped him as he charged forward.

His dad blocked his way and Andy almost collided with him. The place was like a backstage entrance to the podium so people could not see them.

"Dad, please leave the way" He growled.

"What do you want to do?"

"What sort of rubbish is this dad? What kind of stunt is this? Why are you doing this?" Andy's hands were fisted and ready to charge. The only problem is that he could not punch his own father.

"I am saving your sorry a-s. Don't think I don't know what really went on but I am obliged to think that this Jessica of a girl bewitched you.

I would not let the name of this family fall into a stinking mud because of your senselessness" Mr. Williams said too calmly.

"How did you even find out? I bet that stinking thing out there spilled everything" Andy wished he could be left alone with Sonia so he could teach her a lesson she would live to remember.

His dad smiled. "I knew something was fishing when I heard you got married. When I got to your house, I planted a camera in the sitting room when everyone was asleep. I did not expect to find anything suspicious though because you and your so-called wife seemed so intimate."

Andy stared, not believing his own ears. His father had invaded his own privacy. What on earth had given him the right?

"I felt guilty about the camera and went back to the house to get the camera. I played what I saw on it just in case and saw some love scenes, just as I was about to stop it, I stumbled on the very interesting scene where Sonia came to your house. I heard all the drama that ensued and went looking for Sonia".

"Who gave you the right dad? What makes you think you can meddle with my life? I am a grown man dad, perfectly capable of making my own decisions and choices" Andy yelled.

"Even stupid decisions like a contract wedding? What happened to a normal wedding?"

"You are pushing it dad. It is my life. How dare you do this to her? You may want to destroy someone's life but the person involved here is the woman I love; my wife" Andy emphasized.

"Contract wife you mean. Son, that girl is only after the money, she has no dignity and don't even think of loving her."

Andy gritted his teeth painfully. "It is a bit late for that. Dad, tell that demented thing to get off the stage, or so help me God, I would cause a scene that even your almighty self would not be able to control.

Jessica, who was still standing where Andy left her could not respond to the challenge that was being tossed her way by the very person she called her best friend. Lizzy and Paulina went to stand with Jessie but she almost could not notice them, the only thing that clouded her senses were the murmurings she heard and the loud accusations.

Her uncle suddenly appeared in front of her, his face as tight as hard rock. He seized her hand roughly and started pulling her out of the hall. She staggered behind him but he did not slow. When they got outside, her hand came free but pain shot through her like lightening as her uncle's hand connected with her cheek. She winced and moaned in pain as tears that had been held in her eye socket rushed out.

"How dare you Jessica" he roared. "How dare you shame our family like this? How can you stoop so low? Tell me" he growled.

"No…" Jessica sobbed. "Dad, I…" Kindly Say hi to Deen Arfat on +2348148119643 WhatsApp to get added to our novels group and get PDF links.

"Don't call me dad; don't you dare. We are not rich but then, we are not hungry. Were you so discontented?"

Her uncle's wife pushed through the crowd that Jessica was just noticing. "Funsho! Stop this" she tried to calm him down. "We have not heard her own side of the story"

"What does she have to say? She does not look ready to protest".

What could Jessica say? That she had actually married Andy for 20 million Naira but not the way Sonia had put it? That she had decided to forfeit the money?

That all their declarations of love had been a perfectly rehearsed drama? No! She could not say anything.

In fact, it might just make things worse. She looked at the faces of people who had gathered, seeing so many friends of hers, seeing so many people who had attended their wedding, seeing their best man who was Andy's best friend and some of Andy's friends and family members. They all had the look of hatred and disgust on their faces.

Some were stunned and many murmured continuously. She took to her heels and started running as fast as her legs could carry her, even though she wore high heeled shoes.

🔑🔑

Andy charged through the door. "Where is Jessica?" he yelled.

No one was ready to give a reply but as he saw a familiar figure running ceaselessly, he ran after her. As he ran, he yelled her name but she did not slow down. Andy did not know if he was feeling rage, worry or confusion, all he knew was that he wanted Jessica to be alright.

The heels were really affecting Jessica but she continued running. She just wanted to run.

She could still hear all the voices in her head as she cried. She stopped abruptly and started tugging off her shoes. She did not care if her bare feet got severe injuries by running without her shoes.

She felt she would be glad if a physical pain could take her mind off the incident that just occurred. She continued to sob furiously as she gathered the shoes in her hands and started running again.

Andy's arms closed around Jessica immediately, dragging her against him forcefully. She did not know that she was being followed but even as the familiar hands wrapped around her, she started struggling.

"Please Jessica, sweetheart, please calm down".

Jessica struggled and shook in his arms. "Leave me…" she cried. "Let me go Drew".

"No, Jess. Let me hold you".

Jessica had no more struggles. She buried her head against his chest and cried. Andy's heart was shattered into pieces. It took all his willpower to stop him from crying. Seeing Jessica so heartbroken and shattered was more than he could handle.

"I am ruined Andy." Jessica wailed. "Why can't I just die? Tell me Drew. Why does God hate me so much" she cried

Andy was not sure he had answers to any of the questions she asked.

He hugged her tightly. "It is going to be alright Jess. I love you, nothing can change that. We would get through this" he kissed her head and held her close.

🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬

Sonia left the podium, feeling very low. She had just acted a script for personal benefit at the expense of her friend's happiness. Sonia had always been jealous of Jessica's pronounced beauty even though the person in question seemed not to notice it but instead, tried in vain to look unattractive.

She started wearing various flashy clothes just to feel more beautiful whenever Jessica was around and her job at the bank enhanced it but Jessica never even noticed this act, no one did because Sonia was very discrete.

Her jealousy had turned to envy when Jessica announced that she would be getting married to the richest bachelor in the country. Why couldn't it be her? Why was it always Jessica? All this questions had clung to her subconscious.

Sonia noticed that Lizzy was becoming closer to Jessie than she was and she became suspicious then one day, she got the golden ticket when she eavesdropped on their conversation and heard them talking about a contract. All that came to Sonia's mind then had been to snatch Andy by seducing him but when she found out that he was loyal to Jessica and even seemed to have feelings for her, she became confused but the answer came looking for her.

"Sir" she called when she sighted Mr. Williams. "My job is done and your son is not involved, he appeared to be the victim of the whole scheme".

"Yes, good job" Mr. Williams said dryly.

Sonia canceled the irritation she felt at the nonchalant dismissal.

"Sir, if you would give me my due, I would be on my way".

The elderly man faced her slowly. "You said that lady is your friend. Don't you feel guilty for what you did to her?"

Sonia was thrown off balance by the question but after thinking about it she decided. "No. I am doing the right thing. What they both did is wrong. No one should get married for money. She got what she called for".

Sonia remembered how stunning and sophisticated Jessica had looked when she arrived at the party. She looked perfect and everyone's eyes, especially the men had followed her around. She could almost feel the jealousy in their eyes as well as the desire to be in Andy's position. The ladies had also admired her beauty and coveted it.

Sonia remembered the golden costume jewelries that Jessica wore and anger clouded her senses. She had no doubt that the jewelries would cost a fortune.

Mr. Williams looked at the woman in front of him and shook his head in disgust. "You are the worst friend a human being can have, it would be better to be friends with the devil himself.".

The words stung Sonia painfully. He withdrew a cheque of 10 million Naira and gave her. "I don't want to set my eyes on you again". He turned and walked away.

__________________________

Andy called the driver that brought them to the party and within minutes, the driver arrived. Andy was happy that the driver had not witnessed all that took place because the driver looked shocked when he saw Jessica crying.

"Is everything OK ma'am?" he asked with concern.

Jessica could not answer.

"She would be fine" Andy replied and took Jessica to the backseat, sitting beside her also.

The driver picked up Jessica's shoes and purse which was scattered on the road and put them in the car as he got behind the wheels. Andy pulled Jessica back into his arms and she rested her head on his chest. Jessica sniffed and swallowed as her tears stopped. Andy stroked her head slowly and kissed the top of her head. He felt responsible for this occurrence. He never should have accepted the idea of a party, especially one which was being organized by his own father. His father had always been mischievous and spontaneous when it comes to the family name.

To his father, nothing was more important and anything should be done when something untoward surfaces, even if it meant having a sacrificial lamb.

Jessica was already asleep when they arrived home and he was greatly relieved. He carried her inside the house and straight to the bed. When he placed her on the bed, she sniffed like a baby that just finished crying and folded her knees, towards her chest. Andy swallowed and kissed her cheek as he ran his fingers through her hair.

His temples throbbed. He had promised to protect her and make her happy but no, all he had been able to give her was more and more pain. He felt terribly devastated. He wanted to remove Jessica's clothes and jewelries so that she would sleep more comfortably but he remembered that she did not get anything to eat at the party before it crumbled.

He covered Jessica with a blanket and put on the air conditioner. He went to the kitchen but did not see any food there.

Cooking seemed to be out of it because he did not feel up to it so he picked up the car keys and wallet and left the house to get food at the eatery.

He wished he had not relieved the driver, he would have sent him to get the food while he held Jessica as she slept. He thought of how small she looked as she slept; she looked like a little girl who was afraid of a stormy rain.

After he got the food, he got back into the car and drove home. He locked up the doors and went inside the room but received a very big shock when he found the bed empty.

"Jessica" he called out with his heart pounding but did not hear any response. Alarm bells rang in his head and he flung the package he was holding, not caring where it landed. "Jess" he called louder. He checked the toilet and every corner of the room but did not find her.

He started searching everywhere in the house, yelling 'Jessica' but he got no response. He hurriedly unlocked the door and went to his gateman.

"Did Jessica leave the house?".

"Yes, oga. She just commot, she no tell me anything".

"Oh my God" He groaned. "Why did you not stop her? What is happening for Christ's sake?"

"Oga, abeg no vex".

"Shut up and open the bloody gate." Andy yelled. The young man spun into action.

Andy jumped into his car and drove out with his blood boiling. He started driving and searching for Jessica. He crosschecked everyone twice even though he knew he would identify Jessie immediately he sighted her. After more than thirty minutes of fruitless search, Andy had to confront the fact that Jessica was nowhere to be found.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

Mr. Williams paced his sitting room slowly with a wine glass in his hands. His thoughts were in disarray. Thinking back, he was not happy with what he did. When he had planted that camera, he hadn't expected to find something so pathetic.

The couple had portrayed the act of close intimacy when he saw them. The look in his son's eyes when he stared at his wife was one of longing and desire. It had been so perfect. Little did he know then that it was all a script. That his son could act so perfectly was so unbelievable.

Love. He remembered that Andy had mentioned something about being in love with Jessica. 'He'd better not' he thought firmly.

He knew that that woman was so stunning and that any man would fall senselessly for her. Even he himself was floored when he saw his daughter-in-law, but he later realized that the little wench was using her exquisite beauty for other means. How perfect it is to make Andy fall for her; it would be easier for her to extort money from him..

20 million was nothing but he could not allow a woman to toy with his son's heart. The poor boy hadn't been able to get over the death of his love, it would be terrible if he falls in love with the wrong person this time. Mr. Williams drank from his cup slowly.

He felt a little guilty for turning the tables, making the girl to bear all the consequences by publicly disgracing her but he had no other option.

He didn't want his family name to get soiled, so he decided to coin a believable lie out of the truth.

The mere fact that the contract was already known by an outsider like Sonia, made Mr. Williams know that it was only a matter of time before everyone found out. He had to quickly find a solution and…

The door burst open, making Mr. Williams turn instantly.

"Where is she?" Andy growled as he stormed the massive sitting room, moving to his father and covering the space with charged long strides.

"Where is who?"

"Don't play coy with me dad, I am warning you. Where is Jessica?" Andy barked.

"She is your contract wife, shouldn't you know her whereabouts?"

Andy's dad threw back.

Andy fisted his hands and gritted his teeth. "D–n it dad" he hit his fist furiously on the bar stand. "If you have done anything to Jessica, I promise not to spare you. What did she do to you to deserve this? I proposed this contract, not her; why can't you carry out your frustration on me?" He yelled. "Tell me dad".

Andy faced the exit and walked towards it. He paused and turned. "If anything happens to Jessica" he breathed and pointed at his dad. "If 'anything' should happen to 'my' Jessica" he looked like he wanted to say more but just stood, fuming and pointing at his father. He dropped his hand and stalked out.

🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬

Lizzy marched into the small building with anger roaring inside her.

She couldn't recall ever being this angry in her life. Sonia had betrayed their friendship in a very disheartening manner. She had suspected Sonia's jealousy when she would not stop ranting about how rich Jessica had become but Lizzy had shrugged it off. If she had been told to guess what the quiet Sonia was capable of, not in a thousand years would she assume that Sonia would do something as grievous as this.

Lizzy had taken Jessica and the other girls like sisters but she saw Jessica as more of a sister to her even though Jessica seemed to like quiet Sonia more than everyone else. But even at that, Lizzy had always wanted the best for Jessica.

When Lizzy got to the door, she paused for some seconds and took three calming breaths before raising her hand to knock the door but the knock was still harder than she had wanted. She swallowed and waited, hearing nothing. She raised her hand again and pounded the door harder because the lights made her know that the house was not empty. She tapped her right foot restlessly as she waited.

"Who is it?" Lizzy heard Sonia's voice loud and clear, just behind the door and decided to keep quiet.

The door opened slightly and Lizzy pushed the door forcefully and it went ajar, making Sonia to stagger backwards.

"Lizzy" Sonia gasped, frightened.

Lizzy rewarded Sonia with two resounding slaps on each cheek and the sound echoed round the room. A startled cry escaped Sonia's lips and she forcefully shut her mouth.

"You" Lizzy grounded. "How dare you" she said through clenched teeth. Lizzy grabbed Sonia by the neckline of her dress, shaking her like a ragged doll.

"Let go" Sonia gasped out.

Lizzy laughed and held Sonia's cloth more firmly in her arms, making Sonia struggle. "And if I don't, are you going to beat me?" Lizzy laughed the more.

"You see b—h, unlike you, I cherish the people I call my friends and I don't stab them in the back, but when they betray me, like you just did to Jessica, I bounce back. I can squeeze the living daylight out of you" Lizzy shook her head in disgust and pushed Sonia away, leaving her cloth.

Sonia tried to regulate her breathing and Lizzy look around her for the first time. She saw travelling bags and packed things. She smiled tightly and glared at Sonia. "There is no peace for the wicked, is there? How perfect of you to destroy someone's life and run away.

Tell me, how much were you paid? Say it Sonia; how much are you worth?"

"None of your business. At least we know that Jessica is worth 20 million Naira" Sonia croaked out.

"I am very sure you are worth less than that" Lizzy returned, astounded that the filthy girl could still open her mouth…

Lizzy's phone rang, shattering the exchange of glares. She fished out the phone and her anger instantly turned to surprise and anxiety.

"Hello Andy" she breathed. "What do you mean?" Lizzy's frown deepened and Sonia became agitated. "Well, of course she is not with me. I thought you went after her" Lizzy's voice is high now, with confusion. "Oh my God" she breathed.

"Oh my God" Lizzy's hand dropped and she became blank and pale. Lizzy looked lost for some seconds as she stared at the ground, trying to process what she had just heard. She raised weary eyes and bubbled with anger when she saw what looked like worry on Sonia's face. What a b—h!

"You better pray… You better pray that nothing happens to Jessica. Pray that nothing happens to my friend because if not…" Lizzy advanced towards Sonia, glaring at her until they were just a breath apart. "I will find you. Even if I have to comb the entire planet, I would bet you, and then, you would wish that you never knew Lizzy.

You would seek death and you won't find until you wish you had never been born. I Promise You" Lizzy passed that same message with her eyes and marched out.
