Chapter 43 - The Evil Plan
Miyara’s Point of View "Tsss. What made you decide to talk to me? Stop playing, you self-proclaimed queen!" Lura snorted. So trying hard b*tch.
"I need your help. I have an evil plan for Kaede," Zen said straightforwardly. It seemed like she did not have time for Lura's nonsense. It had been more than a month since they climbed a mountain with Kaede.
"Well, I don't know if I could help you. You failed the last time you planned something to her. Did you remember Bent? Tsss. He should rape her, but you became a coward that night. I don't trust your plan anymore." Lura was belittling her.
"Shut your mouth up. Use your brain! I just considered your boyfriend that time. Your boyfriend doesn't want us to harm Kaede. You know what your boyfriend can do. Use your mind, could you?"
"Okay. They're good friends. I despise Kaede. I don't like her. I hate her. But I want her...I want her to be erased in the picture." I could feel that Lura was eaten by her jealousy. And it was a perfect timing for Zen to use her.
"Then, let's get rid her!" Zen suggested. Crazy. She was crazy. "Are you in?"
"Tsss. I'm just kidding about the latter. Plus, I'm not a killer," Lura answered.
"If you don't want her to get your boyfriend from you, then cooperate! Don't be stupid, Lura. She likes your boyfriend! Are you blind, huh? They hugged. They hugged like you didn't exist." I did not wonder why they jived well when it came to their shits. Zen was just staring at Lura's face while I could not draw Lura's face. Lura was definitely confused about Zen's offer. Her boyfriend or her pride?
"Alright, deal! What's the plan?" Lura said before she smirked. She was a pretty lady, and everyone believed that Dego was treating her like she was his universe, but it seemed like she was really jealous that she decided to team up with Zen. Dego was unfortunate for having such a jealous girlfriend. He deserved better. Better not bitter.
"We'll just make fun of Kaede. I'm not that evil, Lura. We won't kill her. Mt. Head is the place. We'll just mislead her there. I already invited her through your boyfriend, and she would come with us. Marc, Dego, and Maybelle would also come with us. I'll just tell you what to do...Just stay tuned."
Lura just nodded on what Zen said. She let Zen used her again. Such a stupid lady. "Hey, you! Why are you listening, huh?! You're just my maid here, so don't listen! Cover your ears, poor dirt!" she shouted right into my face, but I just smirked.
I did not want to give her the satisfaction. Yes, he insulted me, but she would not get the satisfaction easily. Her mother put me in her house and Zen could not get rid of me easily. I was able to stay with her, but she also never failed to belittle me and give me numerous household chores even she knew that I also needed to do my homework. Speaking of homework...I was the one who took care of all her papers. She did nothing but to pass those like she was the one who did the job. She was persistent on telling me that every assignment, project, etc. should get a high score or else she would spill the tea to the class. I was the breadwinner in the family, and I could not give up my job because Zen's mother was the only one who accepted me as a housemaid. I owed her a lot.
"Your attitude doesn't suit you, brat! Here, you deserve this!" she exclaimed before dragging me and dipping my face on the red velvet cake in front of Lura.
"Wow! You look so cute, velvet girl. Oh, I don't understand why you have the nerve to fight us when you're just nothing compared to us. Do you even know that I can buy your life, huh? Oh, my bad. I forgot to tell that your family sold you to my mom for just 10,000 pesos. Your family doesn't care about you. Your life is nothing to them! Your life is nothing but 10,000 pesos HAHAHAHAHA! I could do anything that I want to you, poor maid!" she shouted harshly but I had managed to push her away from me. How she insulted me was unforgivable as I felt the demon inside me had awaken, but I could do nothing but to cry and run away.
My family really did it as they confirmed it when I asked them and that made me go back to Zen. I hated my family because they made me feel worthless as I questioned whther I really deserved to be sold just to meet a need. My parents needed money to sustain their vices. My mother who was a gambler always nagged my father for not having a job. My father was a drug addict who just thought of himself did nothing to be a good and responsible father to me. Unfortunately, their only child was just worth 10,000 pesos.
I did not have somewhere to go to. I should be able to graduate, and Zen's mom was the only one who could support my schooling. But that was in exchange to what I hated the most...Being with an ill-mannered woman.
But I never lost hope. "Everything has its ends," I whispered before Zen opened the door of her house the next day. I slept in my boyfriend's boarding house since my parents did not want me home. My boyfriend was not able to convince me to live with him in his boarding house because I did want him to problem my problems. I did not want him to pity me. And I told him that I could surpass everything including Zen's cruelty.
"See, you don't have somewhere to go and living with me is your only choice. How hopeless, right? Get in and start cleaning the house right away!"
