Chapter 110 Deceived

Chapter 110 Deceived
~MARGARET ~

It started with that one phone call. It always did.

I did not know who it was , but he made his mission clear. All I had to do was text Leon and make it seem like I knew where he was and that he had plans to kidnap Akira and that was all. 

Whoever this person was, he knew I had killed my husband and he was willing to let it out in the public if I did not do as he said.

I liked Leon. He was a good man. I loved his drive and I adored those muscles of his. But the world was a cut throat place. And in the long run, if it had to be me or him, I will always choose him.

Even now as I sat in the temporary cell, the mosquitos were almost too unbearable to let up, I knew it was only a matter of time. Soon, i will be out of the cell.

The strange man has promised to make sure I got out on bail. Only Leon had to suffer for the crime. It was a good enough deal to me.

" Margaret! You have a visitor" one of the guards said, causing me to jump.

A visitor? Perhaps my lawyer?

I stepped out casually but my feet paused when I saw the figure on the chair.

It was a man I have never seen before and he had a nose mask covering his face, his coat bulging with his muscles as he stared at me.

" Finally, we meet again" 

Again?

" Who are you?"

He smiled.

" Well I'm the one who gave you a job. The one who is going to bail you out?"

My smile returned almost instantly. He came sooner than expected. I thought I was going to have to be here until Leon was caught.

"Oh thank God you are here already. That cell stinks and I can't even spend another minute in it" 

He nodded slowly as though trying to show he understood. 

But something was off.

" Who are you and have we met before?" I asked suspiciously.

He chuckled.

" You know I like when people ask me this question. It shows that I have changed enough to not even be recognized. And that is a good thing....a very good thing".

Now, my suspicions grew.

" What beef do you have with Leon that makes you want to set him up like that?"

He hummed.

" I don't have a problem with Leon really. For him it's more about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But you ....".

" Who are you?"

He did not take off his nose mask but I could feel him smiling..

" Why? Do I scare you?"

" If you have nothing better to say I will just leave" I say, getting up, hating the energy I was getting from him and for the first time not minding that he was the only one who might be able to get me out of this jail.

" Oh come on. I remember you to be this dismissive anyways. After all I had held onto your legs and begged for a glass of water and you had spat on my face, calling me scum of the earth.

I think you kept cursing me for making your husband's first son to be an illegitimate child. Or something along the lines of that, I can't really remember much from that period because I was so young"

I turned around quickly, almost getting whiplash as I stared at the man.

He was nothing like the child I remembered from years ago. But it was him no doubt.

The son of my maid.

" It's you?!" I asked..

" Ding ding. Hm. Maybe you are smart after all."

Now fury coursed through my veins as I walked back to where he sat, my fingers wagging in his face.

" How dare you try to play with me you no good? You can seriously blame me for your misfortune?? Don't be obnoxious and lie to yourself. You and I both know that your mother was just a cheating whore who could not keep her eyes off the men of other women. And so, yes...what if I kicked her out?

She was going to destroy the marriage I worked so hard for because she gave my husband a son! I could not let that happen" 

He laughed. Healthy, full.

" I'm so glad you are still as wicked as I remembered you to be. It would have been a shame if you suddenly had a change of personality and then I would have to be the bad one. Thank you for still being wicked"

I wagged my finger at him angrily, I could not believe I let this small rat play me. He was just a stupid pauper. How did Iet him outsmart me?

" You will be hearing from my lawyer and I when I get out of this cell. I will remind you your place and make you crawl for mercy,just you wait"

He got up, adjusting his coat.

" On the contrary you won't be leaving this cell. Or maybe you will be. But you will be leaving to a bigger and more chaotic cell than the one you are in now.

Remember I told you I had these documents of your husband?"

I paled.

He surely couldn't....

" I already submitted it to the press and the police officers and in fact as we speak, they should be coming back here to question you. You will be going away for a very long time. But don't worry, I have way more surprises lined up for you when you get into the cell.

I will make every second you spend in that cell painful for you and I will make sure you go through slow pain before you die" he said.

My jaw dropped as he walked away.

What? No!

" Come back here! I'm not done talking to you! Come here!" I yelled but he was gone.

Just like that.
