Chapter 69 She Became Their Worst Nightmare

Joanna was on her way out of the building when she sensed the presence of someone approaching the entrance of the building.

Without wasting a second she hid behind the door. The intruder opened the door and walked into the house without noticing the figure hiding behind the door.

Joanna remained in her hiding place and watched the intruder, contemplating whether or not to take action.

Because the person was wearing a black cap and a hoodie, Joanna had a hard time identifying the person.

[Audrey!!!]

Joanna's eyeballs widened in astonishment when she got a glimpse of the pendant dangling around the person's neck.

[What the hell is she doing here?]

Joanna even went as far as catching her breath so that the alert Audrey would not discover her presence.

The figure in a brown leather outfit frowned when she searched the entire ground floor and didn't find whatever or whoever she was searching for.

"I wonder whether they went into hiding after perceiving my scent from afar," Audrey said as she positioned the face cap in a way that her face would not be captured by the CCTV cameras in the house.

"Whatever they may plan, I don't care. What I know is that I won't leave here without having my fair share of revenge," Audrey said with clasped fists.

She climbed the staircase without making a sound to alert those in the room.

[My plan will be a total failure if Drey finds me here so I better get out of here before she discovers anything]

Joanna opened the door without making a sound and slid out of the house after making sure that Audrey was not in sight.

After Joanna left there, she went to her father's house and also caused another mess.

With the maids on their annual holiday and her father not around she didn't have to be very cautious.

The only one she had to protect in the entire house was Anthony and she made sure whatever she did not affect him.

Joanna returned to the hut that night feeling very satisfied with the result of her ghost game.

…

For eleven days Joanna tormented all those who had a hand in her death. Because of this, the perpetrators had no peaceful sleep ever since she returned. Those who managed to get sleep overdose themselves with sleeping pills.

The story about the King's deceased mate's ghost became the most trending news on the internet.

Wherever two or three are gathered, the news of Joanna's ghost terrorizing people in the Kingdom was all they talked about.

Some even went as far as spicing up the reason behind the sudden emergence of Joanna's ghost.

Some said she was venting out her hatred on everyone in the Kingdom and that is why the ghost suddenly appeared.

Others say that she was only targeting her murderers.

Another group says the deceased was furious because the King is planning to crown a Queen.

No matter what people believe, the truth was that everyone was scared and horrified by the happenings in the Kingdom recently.

There was fear in the minds of everyone. Those who have been mean to Joanna in the past were so scared that they might be the next victim and as such people in the Kingdom went to sleep early after carefully shutting their doors and windows.

Because of the news of the ghost so many people were haunted by their guilty conscience.

In the forest, Joanna was sitting on a big tree trunk going through the news headline.

Her constant giggling and broad smile showed she was having a blast seeing the result of her handiwork.

She was so engrossed watching the video that she didn't feel someone walking up to her.

"You sure are having a lot of fun seeing them go crazy after encountering your supposed ghost," Kayden said playfully as he turned around and had his seat beside her.

"And you are not even hiding your excitement…,"

"And why should I do that?" Joanna snapped.

"It's so funny seeing those who always bullied me in the past go insane at the sight of my ghost? Some even go as far as begging for their lives, don't you find this hilarious too?"

Joanna grinned wickedly as she brought the phone closer so that Kayden would see the video she was watching.

"Do you have to use this method to have your revenge…,"

"How many times have I told you that I have nothing to do with this?" Joanna lied without batting an eyelid.

"I am just a weak delicate girl, so what power do I have to bring such big shots to their knees…,"

"Bacon was also captured in some of the videos so you don't have to keep up with the act," Kayden said.

"Besides, I wasn't planning to scold you for what you did…,"

"I am not the only one who has a blackbird so what are you saying?" Joanna still kept on feigning ignorance for what was very obvious.

Joanna dropped the cell phone on the space in between them. "Although I have no hand in this thrilling ghost game. I am gonna have a blast watching this rare sight. Who knows when I am gonna have such fun again?"

Joanna said, still maintaining her smile.

"As long as you don't disappear again then I am ok with whatever you do. It doesn't matter whether you drive everyone in the entire Kingdom crazy…," Kayden trailed as he raised his left hand and pats her hair.

"They deserve this much for the pains they have caused you all these years…,"

Joanna pushed Kayden's hand away from her head, "I know I have let you pat my hair frequently these past days but I will advise that you don't get used to it".

"I am not a puppy that needs to be pet…,"

"Yeah, you are right. You look more like an innocent kitten compared to a puppy," Kayden said as he raised his hand and patted her hair once again.

"You…," Joanna glared at the guy still patting her hair despite knowing that her glare was of no use.

Ever since she returned he has been doing whatever he wants and she has kinda gotten used to it.

"Do you know that you look very much like a kitten when you glare at me like that?" Kayden said as he continued stroking her hair.

"You look so innocent and this makes me want to protect you…,"

"I have decided to reveal myself," Just to shut him up Joanna deliberately says the piece of news he has been dying to hear from her.

"What!" Kayden jumped up to his feet. "Really? This is not another one of your pranks right?"

Kayden's excitement soon died off when he recalled how Joanna promised to reveal herself a week ago only for him to realise that it was a prank.

He would only fall for that prank once and never again.

"I am dead serious," Joanna said, her smile gone.

"I overheard people discussing what they are gonna wear for your fourth anniversary as the King of Twipera Kingdom…,"

"It was afterwards I recalled that you normally threw a party this time of the year to celebrate your coronation day," Joanna said.

"And I asked myself what day could be more perfect than this very day for me to reveal myself to the world hmm?" Joanna asked as she winked naughtily at Kayden.

The mischief in her eyes made Kayden guess that there was more to what she was saying.

"You…," Joanna's sudden closeness to him after standing up from where she sat made Kayden swallow back what he wanted to say.

"Can you get me the same butterfly dress and other accessories  you gifted me on my birthday back then?" Joanna asked as she lifted her right hand and placed it on Kayden's chest.

Something she has never done.

"I want it on the same night the party's gonna take place. Will you be able to lay your hands on it".

Joanna's further actions proved Kayden's assumptions correct.

"And what are you gonna do with that dress on that night?" Kayden asked suspiciously as he stared at the lady who was fiddling with his chest.

"What crazy plan have you exactly come up with huh, tell me?" Kayden stared into her purple eyes as he spoke.
