Chapter 2 - Kill her

"People may hate you for being different and not living by society's standard, but deep down, they wish they had the courage to do the same"

-Somebody said ​​

Clara was sitting in her car and was looking at the sky where an airplane was flying and she whispered, "Please, take care…"

*****

Mia POV

Clara booked a ticket for a country called "Annexia".

'It is a small country, nobody can find me there. I am really feeling relaxed now, as I am now going away from all the worries with my child.'

She started looking at the sky.

'It is looking different today and I feel like I'm a bird that is flying freely.'

'I was born with bad luck. After my birth, my mother abandoned me as my father wanted a boy. A few years later, my mother died and that was not a natural death. After two days, my father got married to another woman who was already two months pregnant with a boy.'

'My father is a politician so he used to pretend that he was taking too much care of me but in the house, he didn't give me a proper 2-time meal and my stepmother didn't care about it.'

'When I was in school, people used to bully me as I was antisocial and they thought of me being weird. After some time, I start fighting back without my will.'

'Once, I had a fight when I was in third class and after that, I was crying helplessly in the corner of the playground, then a girl came near me and sat beside me.'

'She didn't say a word and after I stopped crying, she took a first aid kit from her bag and started caring for my wounds carefully and forcefully.'

'She was 'Clara' daughter of the richest businessman of the country and school princess … from that until today, she encouraged me in every movement of my life. She helped me to learn taekwondo and she always made me laugh.'

'She was my only family and then Jain came with a lot of promises and I trusted him and in return, he left me at that point of time when I needed him most.'

Clara went into a house forcefully after beating a gateman who was stopping her and the 5 men with whom she was entering into the house.

A tall, dark man turned around her and cried, "Clara … I am innocent!"

Clara sat on the sofa and her eyes were burning. She felt so angry as she shouted, "Say it!"

Jain in a shaky voice, spoke, his lips trembling with every word.

"That night, I left her alone in the bar and after that, I don't know what happened "

Clara squinted her eyes. "You left… with whom?"

"Jess."

Hearing his answer, Clara smiled bitterly and said, "You were cheating on her!"

"N-no!"

Clara stood up from where she sat then slapped Jain and went away after saying, "Beat him 'til he lost his consciousness."

Those men started beating him and Jain started shouting, "No… Clara, please save me!"

Clara got her phone then proceeded calling her father.

Mr. Xu answered then spoke happily knowing who the call was from. "So my princess is in trouble?"

"Do I always call you when I am in trouble," Clara said, with a confused voice.

"Is there any doubt? You always use this old man. Oh! My painful life," he said playfully as Clara rolled her eyes at his remark.

"Are you done? I am serious. Have you seen Mia's news," she said, still listening to the call.

"Hmm… you help your friend. I will deal with the wild dog," he said, making Clara nod.

"Thanks, dad. You are the best!"

Hearing this, his father chuckled.

"What a cheap reward. By the way, Mia is like a daughter to me. Don't trouble her!"

"I am helping her."

His father laughed, then added his remark. "Now it's my time to show myself!"

"Don't laugh like witches."

***

Mia stepped out from the airport and someone was standing there with a poster of her name

She went toward that man and said, "I am Mia."

That man looked like a driver and he took her to his car.

They went into an old and small house and that man said, "Miss, this is your place," and that man went away after Mia went off from the car.

.

She went inside and looked at the house. It was a small house made of the old design.

There were two rooms in the first floor, a small kitchen, a small dining table, and two rooms upstairs.

Noticing that she was alone, she said, "Anybody here," in a low voice.

Then a lady came out from one of the rooms. She was an old lady and she went to Mia with a bright smile on her face.

Mia's mouth got half-open after looking at that old lady. She was her maid when her mother was alive.

The old lady put her hand on Mia's hair and said with warmth, "It's alright dear."

***

In a large room, a man was shouting after throwing everything and said, "How can she go away?"

A man was standing in front of him and he was looking at the floor and his eyes were full of fear.

"Don't let this news out. If anybody gets to know about it, the party image will be ruined!"

"....."

"Find and kill her as you did with her mother"

The man nodded and went out of the room.
