Chapter Two

Analyn

Three years, feels just like yesterday. I could still feel the same breeze in this city, the houses, the road, nothing changed. I looked through the car window, night time in the city was still the same, bustling and busy.I was back, Analyn was back. I smiled thinking about it, Analyn was back for good, revenge is in the air. I had it carefully drafted, every move, every plan, how they all would pay for what they did to me. First dad and then Caroline, and most especially Adrian. They would all pay."Analyn, you know I'm still not fully in support of your plans, right?" Nanny Brenda said to me. I turned to look at her."I don't care, nanny, I don't care,"We had this same conversation two days ago and she still wasn't convinced , there was nothing she could do to stop me now, absolutely nothing. The last thing I needed was anyone trying to talk me out of my plans."Analyn, I understand your desire for revenge for your dad and Adrian, but Caroline, she's your twin," she said.Was it a mistake to have included Nanny Brenda in all of my plans, was it a mistake to had rescued her a year ago? Nanny Brenda raised me, she took care of me when I needed a mother after mum abandoned us. When I found out she was in danger a year ago because she knew about Adrian's secret and was hunted by them, I didn't hesitate to save her. But now, her support for Caroline was annoying."Nanny, are you my ally or not? You have to choose between Caroline and I, it's always been about Caroline. I know you take her as your daughter because you raised us but then, she's wrong now, can't you see?""I know she's not the best sister, but you girls are still twins."I gnashed my teeth, clenched my fist and closed my eyes. It's always been about Caroline. Caroline was my elder twin, everyone loved her, dad, aunties, teachers, everyone. I adored her, I wished to be like her. Growing up, no one loved me, I was always reprimanded for every little thing I dad and was compared to Caroline, and dad, he never stopped blaming me for his failed marriage with mum. I wasn't mad, I was always happy for her, I celebrated every success with her, but then, she never cared about me the way I did for her."You are really useless, Analyn, I wished it was just Caroline I had as a daughter, but I have to put up with you and your shortcomings. Can't you just be like her?" Dad would always say and then he would threaten about giving the business to Caroline.I never cared about those things, I didn't want the business anyways.Back then, I wasn't smart, I was just a naive, weak girl who everyone bullied and all I ever wanted was to be loved.When I was twenty one, Adrian came into my life and for the three months I knew him, I felt loved.He made me feel the love I always longed for, he called me smart for the first time ever, he was the first person to ever appreciate my existence and for once, I saw myself as deserving, for once I saw myself as beautiful and all I could do was give him my heart, my love. Until I found out that it was all an act, he never loved me, he was sent by his father to me, because I was the naive one, to make me fall for him and trust him enough to give him the key to my family's secret, to dad's wealth. Dad disowned me after that and Caroline fueled the whole thing. I never expected it from her. All my life, I had loved her, served her, supported her, but when I saw her eager she was seeing me leave, I realized she didn't love me, all she cared about was the company, and all she ever did was look for ways to prove to everyone that I was the bad one.Yes, I made a mistake falling for Adrian but the punishment and rejection were more than the sin I committed."Seriously Analyn, you thought I'd choose you over your sister, Caroline? If I ever wanted to date someone, why would I choose the lesser version? Why not the better version, Caroline," Adrian had said to me when I confronted him.Those words were everything, coming for the one I loved and trusted, it shattered me. I got so drunk that night and got into an accident. It thought everything was over until life gave me a second chance by bringing Mama Racheal into me. I was in coma for six months, she took me in, brazened me up, she thought me to fight back, gave me everything including her wealth until I became a new Analyn.All I want now is revenge. To everyone who hurt the old Analyn, this new Analyn is out to make them pay."Do you like the new room?" Nanny Brenda asked me when she came into my room. We still hadn't spoken since the incidence at the car earlier."I guess I do, it's simple," I said and she smiled."Simple? Analyn would always be the same girl I raised, simple, kindhearted and caring," she said, then reached out to my chin, coupling it with her palms."No nanny, I'm not the same Analyn, and I do not like simple things," I suddenly interjected, then moved her palms slowly away from my chin."I'm sorry for what I did earlier," she apologized."Analyn, you know you've always been my favorite, I'd always choose you first," she said.I didn't want to talk about that, at this point, actions were way better than words. Only her actions could convince me."Nanny, please ensure the driver gets the black dress I made before the party tomorrow, I left it at Mama's," I said changing the topic.Of course, there was a party tomorrow. The governor launched a new project and every young big business owner was invited, of which I was a part. I could only call it my grand entry because they all would know that I'm alive and back.I have waited three years for this day and it was only a few hours away. They all should get set for the new Analyn.
