I hurriedly ran back into my room, changed myself into what Allesha usually wore – an old worn out white shirt and a jeans and removed my makeup in the mirror. I made sure I look as sickly as possible.
After I've done all that, I look at myself in the mirror for the last time. It may not change the fact that Allesha look rather beautiful in her bare state but it's enough to execute the plan I had in mind.
When I was fighting for the throne to be the next Emperor against my brothers, I've not just fight to death. I also played the minds and I manipulated the opinions of my people.
This is just the same thing. I'll give my husband and my treacherous bestfriend an up because I will execute the exact plan they used on me. I'll make them the evil in peoples eyes.
Because shame is a dangerous weapon when played right.
I took the car keys, if Allesha's memory saved right in the drawer. But when I pulled it out, everything inside was so dusty I almost coughed. I guess it's really been a long time since Allesha used this huh?
I glanced at the blue folder where the key rested but decided I checked it later instead. I have better things to do.
With my worn out sneakers I headed to the parking lot to find the car I was looking for. It's an older model, a black worn out Toyota, I'm not too familiar with car but even I know that especially if you compared it to the parades of shiny car it was displayed with.
That selfish husband didn't even bother to take care of his wife, at least financially if he's gonna abuse her mentally anyway. Even my lying husband took care of me until that night.
I shook my head at the thought of comparing them knowing they are both lying, cheating and manipulative men who deserves an execution. I can't do anything since I already died in that timeline. I just had to make do with what I have now.
I stood in front of the car, held the door handle, push it upward and then with a click I was able to open it. Good thing, I can used Allesha's memory like a second nature to me or else how am I to navigate a world, with technological advancements I didn't even know was possible. All I've known is a horse and a carriage, this thing wasn't even possible in my mind.
I went inside the cramp space, space out for about a good long second while looking at all the strange and complicated buttons inside it.
Where do I start?
I raised the key and found the key hole. The sound it made rattles me out that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I stepped on the engine and when it jolted forward my instinct goes to stepping on the breaks. Apparently that was a mistake.
My head almost busted open when it hits the stirring wheel. I winced from the pain.
"Damn this thing! Riding a horse is still better!" I cursed, stomping my foot at the car floor. It took me a few deep breaths before I decided it won't fix my problem, so this time I fixed what they called seatbelt around me and tried it again.
Good thing I was a fast learner.
It took me a good thirty minutes to get the thing working before I finally got the hang of it and got it running.
"Woah! This thing was faster than a horse." I exclaimed amused as I rushed through the highway. It didn't took me an hour before I finally arrived at my destination. Probably broken a few laws on the way but it doesn't matter, wealthy people hate gossips and I'm pretty sure Allesha's husband would take care of it before it even reach her. Serve's him right, what's a few headaches when all he gave his wife is heart break.
I stood at the front of the towering building with an architectural design I've never seen before. If my memory serves me right it was the company where my husband worked.
I stared at the name flashed on the entrance. [Sereev Corporation].
My brow raised, "Look how ridiculous it is," I spat.
Seerev is a combined surname of Allesha and Damien. Seres and Reeves. The audacity to still use the name they both created, in the company they co-founded but he left nothing to his wife's name?
Damien, that cheating bastard, thinks he's so clever, and so untouchable. To be doing all these?
It may be a part Allesha's fault, she had all the right to take back what's her but she decided to give it up in the name of love instead.
I agree, love make you blind and incredibly stupid.
I sighed. Realizing I would've done the same thing as her if I wasn't a blood thirsty woman in her prime. But even then, she still played around her husband's palm.
I hit my chest a few times trying to quiet the pain in my heart but I might've struck it too hard it's actually paiful. I don't want to shed a single tear for them.
A smirk played on my lips, a wicked glint in my eye.
I stalk toward the crowded street corner making sure there's as many people as possible to witness what I was about to do then as if on cue I collapsed to the floor, feigning weakness.
I then clasp my stomach, staggering as if I haven't eaten in days-which is true–but I made sure it appeared worst that it felt.
"Oh my! I'm so hungry! Someone come feed me!" I cried dramatically my voice loud enough until crowd of onlooker began to form around me.
My eyes flutter, and I faked trembled.
"Are you okay?" a kind woman–bless her heart– approached me as she tried to help me up.
"No. I haven't eaten in days."
Murmurs ripple through the crowd and my heart screams satisfied. I know any minute they would start to recognize my identity. And I was waiting for that exact moment.
A man walked toward me to help the woman guide me to stand up but I saw Damien's car in my peripheral vision approaching in my direction. Let the game begin…
