Sheryl could feel herself almost on the verge of fainting after hearing Cheryl's heavy words. "If you knew he was such a dangerous man then why did you associate yourself with him?? Huh?? What will you do with this child now?" Sheryl snaped at her angrily!
Cheryl pursed her lips, not knowing what to reply to her sister. She herself had no way out of the mess that she had created for herself.
"And by the way who exactly is this man? If he is this powerful I am sure I must have heard his name. And why does he want to take revenge from Rhehan and his wife?" Sheryl asked in confusion, still pressing the bridge of her nose as if in terrible pain.
"Yes he is very popular and the reason he wants to take revenge from Rhehan is also probably related to me. Rhehan had insulted this man's company and had instructed all the investors to not deal with his company anymore. He is the owner of Lorraine International, Steve George!!" Cheryl shuddered in fear again, remembering the man's scary voice, whenever he shouted at her. "He was their at the party too, to help me drug Rhehan. He has been constantly ordering me around, to seperate the couple. He is the one! It all started when Rhehan and Rose disliked each other and Rhehan payed a hefty amount to me to harm Rose. I tampered her dress before a fashion show, but then suddenly Rhehan changed his mind and insulted the Loraine international for not helping out the girl at the time of despair. This could be the probable reason for Steve to harm Rhehan and Rose. It is pure revenge!" Cheryl sighed sitting close to her crying sister on the bed.
"Steve George?? Oh My Goodness! You mean that old man who was earlier Miss Elizabeth's husband? Do you have any idea how many times you have tried to harm inncoent lives, just for the sake of your greed for money and fame?" Sheryl turned to look at Cheryl with anger.
Cheryl looked at the floor with eyes full of guilt and nodded in a 'yes'. "I do understand it now sister."
"No! No! You do not understand anything at all." Sheryl quickly stood up feeling extremely restless and walked towards the window to inhale some fresh air. "You are too heartless to even think about others. Do you have any idea if mom would have been here, she would not have been able to take this shock at all. I am sure she must be watching over us and crying in helplesness and despair too. We owe so much to this family, you have no idea. And instead for making up for it, you are trying to harm them? Do you even have a heart?" She spoke in a disgusted tone and was now trying hard, controlling her sobs.
Cheryl looked at her sister who looked like she was in terrible pain. She was now sobbing uncontrollably as if remembering a very bad incident of her life. "Sister. I am sorry. I really am. I promise, I will do everything to make up for my all mistakes. We can go to the Jobs family and confess. Also I can ask for forgiveness and have my job back at Fabiosa. But please do not cry sister. Please! Also what what do we owe them? What are you talking about?" Cheryl frowned in confusion, looking at her sobbing sister.
Sheryl wept further, hearing her sister's question. "You were too young to remember anything. This happened several years back when our beautiful single mother came in the radar of a dangerous gang. Our father had left us for another woman soon after you were born, but mother was very strong and she raised us all alone, with grace and confidence. She worked in the bank during the day and and at a bar during night after putting us off to sleep. She would then come early in the morning and take me to school and go to bank herself. We studied in best of schools, because she sacrificed her sleep for many years working double shifts." Sheryl wiped away her tears, smiliing remembering their beautiful mother. "This all happened when you were still a toddler. One night a dangerous gang came to the bar where mom worked and the gang's head was instantly attracted to mom." Sheryl started sobbing again, as if living the same painful moments of her past yet again. "He tried to make a pass at her but mother rejected it everytime, adding to his frustration. One night at the bar, he was too drunk and he tried to forcefully kiss mom and also started touching her all over. Mom got furious and she slapped him in front of everybody right their and then. The man and his gang left in frustration, and did not come the next night to the bar. Mom was relieved thinking that the man would no longer come but then late at night she recieved a call. It was the ... the same man.. and he was calling from our home. He... was standing right next to our bed and I was fully awake... and he told mom right in front of my eyes that since she did not let him touch her, he will now touch her daughter. The gang had forcefully barged inside our house while I was putting you to sleep." Sheryl sobbed unconcontrollably while Cheryl was in a state of shock. "I... I could hear our mother's screams and pleadings from the phone, but it was too late. They were five people and they stripped me off from my clothes and ..... and...." Sheryl cried uncontrollably, her hands shivering in pain and fear. Cheryl could not believe her ears and she walked upto her sister and held her sister's hands tightly trying to calm her down. "They all raped me one by one and... I was too young to even understand why they were doing this too me. All I could hear was their dangerous laughter! All I could smell was their bad breaths and smoke as their mouths went all over my body. All I.. I.. could feel was terrible pain in my private parts. My eyes were getting foggy and I could see from my blurred vision the naked men looking at me like a beast."
