18- Pulling Geena on her side.
Geena was arranging her kitchen cabinets when her phone started ringing It was showing an unknown caller number
“Yes? Geena speaking.” She put the cutlery in the sink while her phone was pressed between her shoulder and ear
But the person on the other side did not speak Pulling off her rubber gloves, Geena scrunched her eyebrows, “Hellooo!”
Still no reply
“Honey. If you are not interested in talking then better don’t bother calling Not everyone has enough time on their hands to send a dumb call.”
She was about to disconnect it when a pleading sound came out of her phone, *Please don’t cut the call, mom
Geena first stared at her phone in disbelief then with a finality she was about to press DISCONNECT when Chloe begged again
“Mom, just listen to me. Just once.”
Geena felt her heart piercing, “What do you want, Chloe? Why are you calling?
“I am your daughter!” Chloe cried, “For God’s sake. Mom I am your only daughter. She is no one She is not your blood.”
“Yeah I know. And still, she proved to be better than you Chloe Geena’s heart was shredding into thousand pieces but she controlled her emotions
“What’s so special about her?”
“Ok. Let’s start with this one. She at least did not steal someone’s boyfriend? How about this, Chloe?”
“Oh come on, mom” Geena could feel her, rolling her eyes. “Kyle was never hers”
“Are you calling me to tell this shit? Because I am not ready to listen to this
“You will stand with Abigail, then?”
“I will stand with the one who is on the right side. Whoever it is. There was finality in Geena’s
voice
“You know? You were never this cruel.”
“Yes. Because you were the cruel one. You took it from your father, Chloe. When I brought you with me I thought I was doing you a favor. But I guess I destroyed Abigail’s life. When I married her father, she welcomed me and my daughter with an open heart and arms.” Geena laughed sarcastically, “And see what I did in return.”
on her side.
“Mom! No! I love you. You know that I do.” Geena could hear Chloe crying on the other side. She could feel her tears. But she could not bring herself to console her.
“If you really love me. Then better stop calling me. If you have even a speck of self-respect left in you. You would never call me. You will stay away from me and Abigail.” With that Geena disconnected the call and threw her phone away which landed on the kitchen floor.
No. She would never give in to Chloe’s pleas. When her husband left her, she promised him that she would never treat Abigail differently.
Abigail was always a very obedient daughter to her. And it was not in Geena to take advantage. If Chloe made a mistake she must also face the consequences.
She could not get away with anything she wanted. Geena would never allow that.
Tears were running down Chloe’s face. She stood from the toilet seat and flushed it. Coming out of the stall she wiped her face with the back of her hand and opened the tap to wash her face when her eyes fell on the mirror.
Her kohl-filled tears had blackened her cheeks. She looked scary. Thank God there was no one around here at this hour. Everyone was busy in the brunch outside while that bi*tch left with the CEO.
First, it was Ethan and now Hunter. She did not know what was going on. What was so special about her?
She paid the warehouse guard to make the furniture fall on Abigail’s head. That visit was postponed without any reason. Then she planned the display board to fall on her.
And it did.
But instead of making her feel miserable, she ended up in CEO’s arms who lifted her and carried her to the doctor’s room.
What kind of game Abigail was playing? She was up to something. No matter how innocent Abigail was. But her fiancé was snatched away from her. Right under her nose.
She was about to get married. All the invitations had been sent out.
When the wedding was called off, obviously she must have faced embarrassment.
Nasc
Last time they both were there for the interview. For the same post. And in days she got the state manager designation with so many perks.
Something was going on and it just did not sit right with Chloe.
She needed to dig deep. She needed to act smartly.
Abigail was definitely sleeping with Ethan or the CEO guy, Hunter. According to her knowledge, she was still a virgin. That was the reason Kyle got attracted to Chloe.
y Gani on her side
Because he wanted a bed partner. Did Abigail sell her virginity to one of the men? Or was she two timing both of them?
Enough of the physical pain. Now she needed to prick Abigail’s soul. She needed to strip away her morale.
And she wanted to start it with Geena. Her own mom was preferring Abigail over her. She needed t o win her mom first.
If Geena will be on her side that would be a bonus. Then she could easily work on an emotionally weak Abigail.
Instead of indulging her step-sister in an accident, she would work on tarnishing her reputation.
Yes!
That’s the plan!
Now why she did not think about it?
Kyle was right about me. I can easily get angry and quit without using my brain. But it is high time to bring it to some use.
Poor Abigail. Enough of staying enemies with her.
I want to attack you while staying close to you, Abigail. Maybe I should start being friendly and test the depth of water.
I will get my mom back. And this state manager title! This designation!
I think it belongs to me!
This intense wish for revenge was so powerful that it made her forget that Abigail already survived the mental torture given by her and Kyle.
That too when she was all alone.
Now she was no more alone. Chloe did not know that now someone had got Abigail’s back. Someone very strong… quite powerful… who might not like it if Abigail would be upset or hurt.
