How could she have forgotten what her mother said when these very words were what made her realize how dreadful of a woman her mother is?
[I must do everything to appease Mum's anger. I won't be able to survive if she murders Rafael]
Laura reached out her hand and held her mother's right hand. Immediately she was shoved aside by the angry woman.
"I am leaving now and I want you to go back home immediately. If you return ten minutes after I return then you will witness how dreadful your mother is," Adhara retorted.
She shot Rafael standing far away a murderous glare and stomped away.
"Mum," Laura shouted and raced after her mother.
"Mum, please wait for me," Laura pleaded. Adhara entered the car and zoomed off without sparing Laura a second glance.
The fear of her mother's threat didn't make Laura stand and exchanged goodbyes with Rafael. She ran at top speed even though she was wearing heels.
After they were gone Joanna turned to look at the grinning lady by her side.
"She runs so fast. Bestie, you will have to help me to catch up to her ok?" Joanna said and winked naughtily at her beaming best friend who seemed to understand what she was up to.
"I never knew you were this evil…,"
"I don't mind becoming your teacher as long as you help me, hmm?" She said teasingly and held Audrey's hand tightly.
Three minutes later, a lady running in heels was seen halting when two ladies appeared in front of her.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She demanded with a frown.
"What else if not to give you a taste of your own medicine," Audrey retorted. She made sure to stand with her shoulders held high.
Joanna moved two steps forward so that the space between her and Laura was an arm's reach away.
Laura subconsciously moved backwards seeing Joanna raise her hand and bring it close to her neck.
"Don't worry she won't strangle you," Audrey started. "At least not in public," She scoffed.
Joanna examined Laura's swollen cheeks making sure to shake her head sympathetically.
"Seeing how swollen it is, I believe it must hurt quite a lot right?" She asked. She faked a painful look as she moved backwards.
"When I told you, I will have my revenge in a way you will never forget you didn't believe me. Now look at what has happened," She mumbled. An evil grin crept onto her beautiful face.
Joanna's words rang in Laura's head like a doorbell without a stop.
Memories of what happened on campus on the day her father visited, including Joanna's threat, popped up in her head.
Last night just to make sure none of her friends or acquaintances saw her, she and Rafael had purposely booked a hotel room in an area not frequented by her acquaintance.
The only acquaintance they bumped into last night was Joanna.
"You did this to me!" Laura yelled in fury. "How dare you do this to me?" Laura bellowed. She raised her hand and purposely aimed her claws at Joanna's face.
Audrey standing behind appeared and caught Laura's hand in midst air.
"Your mother must be very close to the hotel now. I don't think you have time for that, don't you agree with me?" Audrey winked at the angry lady.
Despite her desire to take revenge right then, Laura had to leave when she recalled her mother's earlier words.
"I promise, I will repay you handsomely for this," Laura hissed and resumed her race.
HAHAHA
Audrey burst out laughing when she saw just how fast Laura ran. She ran faster than a cheetah even though she was on heels.
"Does this make you very happy?" Joanna asked. Though she was the one taking sweet revenge she wasn't laughing like Audrey.
"Yes, of course. Nothing makes me feel happy than seeing you teach your enemies a lesson. And that's why I will formally ask that you take me along anytime you want to exert revenge…,"
"If this cracks you up this much then I am sure you would have been laughing and rolling on the floor if you were present the days I tortured my enemies by pretending to be a ghost," Joanna said and started walking away.
Of course, she feels happy dealing with Laura but not to the point of laughing until her stomach hurts.
To her, this isn't considered an act of revenge but she sees this as punishment. This was her punishment for Laura for the slap she gave her on campus. If she wanted to exert revenge then this would have been the tip of the iceberg.
She might be physically weak at the moment but she has a way of making her enemies mad in rage.
"That's a given. Trust me, I wouldn't have been only a spectator but I would have joined in the fun," Audrey whispered. She jumped and wrapped her left hand around Joanna's shoulders in excitement.
"Since you treated me to an interesting show, I will treat you to a cup of coffee and your favourite almond cake," Audrey informed her.
They walked in this manner until they got to a cafe close by.
At the cafe, Joanna ordered a cup of coffee and almond cake while Audrey made do with only a cup of coffee.
As they waited for their orders to be served, Audrey struck up a conversation.
"Anna, I learned from the internet that you made yourself some new friends so can you tell me more about them?" Audrey asked.
She crossed her legs and leaned back on the chair.
"Drey, you won't believe what I will tell you," Joanna muttered. The excitement and the glistening of her eyes aroused Audrey's curiosity before she even said anything.
"And what is that if I may ask?" She quizzed.
"Do you still recall that incident where I went missing for an entire day?" She asked.
"That was the first time you went missing for a day so how could I not remember it?" Audrey replied casually.
"I remember causing a scene at your home back then because I thought your stepmother had murdered and buried you in a place where your body can not be recovered," She added smiling.

TOP COMMENTERS
Comments make an author believe that his or her readers are not only enjoying his/her book but are also following it. And that is exactly how I feel each time I receive your comments.
What some readers don't know is that not commenting sometimes makes the author feels lonely.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face and keeping me company through your comments. Your comments mean a lot to me.
