Chapter 390 - Plans

Veronica bit her lower lip, "you can't get away with everything, you've done, one day, Tiana will wake up and know about all that you did to her."

Gwen smiled,

"And who says she's going ever to wake up?"

Veronica's eyes widened at Gwen's words.

"The doctors say they don't know when she's going to wake up, what makes you think she isn't going to sleep forever?"

Gwen chuckled when she saw the fear that flashed past Veronica's eyes.

"Now don't you think you should think about your choices before you get on my bad side? Right now, without proof, who do you think Nicklaus would believe, you or me? It seems you've forgotten so soon who Nicklaus is, do you think he would want to hear your side of the story when I tell him you tried to poison his wife?"

Veronica shook her head, anger riling up inside of her,

"You're… you're pure evil."

Gwen laughed hysterically and threw an envelope of money at Veronica.

"Calm down dear, I'm not that wicked, except you want me to."

She smiled, a smile not the least innocent.

"Take that money, add it to the one I gave you earlier, and leave, away from this town, I don't want to see you anywhere close to me or Tiana or Nicklaus, I'm sure you know now, the lengths I can go to keep you shut."

Veronica swallowed as her shoulders fell,

"I don't want your money."

"You don't have a choice, it's either you take it or you take it. Escort her out please."

They held the money she was given since she refused to take it and when they were out of the house, they placed it in her hand.

Veronica stood still watching the cars whizz past her, her soul shattered.

She hadn't felt this hollow in her whole life. A sigh left her lips as she looked down at her phone which had been wiped of every detail of the recording, almost at that minute, Bella called,

Swiping, she answered the phone,

"Veronica! Are you okay? I've been trying to get across to you, what happened?"

Veronica breathed out heavily,

"Gwen caught onto our plan, she deleted the recording."

"What? I thought you already left the room, how… how did she find out?"

"I don't know, I can't say, Bella, I have to leave now, I can't meet you else I'll put you in trouble. I've done my best, you can take it from here, I don't think Gwen knows that you know everything, so you have a chance to make things right, goodbye."

"Wait…wait, Veronica…"

Before Bella could complete her words, Veronica ended the call.

Bella sighed and brushed her hands through her hair.

They were this close…

…

Gwen dropped the glass she had just emptied on the table, a sigh leaving her lips.

She had to act fast and now.

The only way she could be safe was getting Nicklaus to fall for her, that was the only way Veronica's confession would mean nothing.

If he found out about what she did to his wife, he was never going to forgive her.

How…how would she get him to like her when he was not even taking his eyes off Tiana for one second!

He was in love with Tiana. Madly at that.

Gwen paced around the room as she thought of the quickest way to make Nicklaus fall for her. Then suddenly she stopped, as a thought came into her mind.

A smile crossed her lips as she clapped her both hands.

Having his baby!

Yes! That was the only way he would not hurt her even after finding out what she did.

Tiana wasn't able to have a baby for him, there was no way he was going to hurt the woman who was carrying his child.

Suddenly she frowned,

But how was she going to do that?

She thought.

Gwen smiled to herself.

As easy as anything.

Picking her phone, she clicked on her lady app to check the day she was most likely to get pregnant.

"In a weeks time…" she thought out loud.

"Oh Tiana you better not wake up before then,"

She rolled her eyes.

Now time to go shopping for lingerie…

She thought as she smiled to herself.

…

Veronica was refusing to pick her calls, so she was of no use again. The ball was in her court now.

But how would she make Nicklaus believe that his wife's sister tried to harm her?

No sane person would believe that, given how close they were.

What would she do?

Bella wasn't herself for three days, she barely talked to anyone as she rattled her brain on how to expose Gwen.

A week later she was leaving the garden when she saw Gwen walking into the house.

She paused as she thought of a thousand reasons why she would be there at 6pm in the evening.

Was she planning to stay the night?

These days, she suspected even the most harmless things.

Gwen noticed some footsteps behind her and turned around, a smile formed on her chin when she saw Bella,

"Bella, it's been a while, how are you?"

Not only was Bella a good liar, she was also a pretender,

She smiled sweetly,

"I'm good Gwen, you decided to pay us a visit today."

"Oh yeah, my car broke down on the road, and thankfully I was close to the house, so I decided to come spend the night."

"oh!"

Bella smiled,

But you could have taken an Uber home, Bella thought.

It's not as though her sister was here, for her to come pay a visit.

Bella wasn't sure before, but now she was sure Gwen had an ulterior motive.
