“S-sure,” Deborah stuttered with a nervous smile and left. If she had been scared earlier, she was anxious now because she couldn’t get rid of the thought of Isabella reading her letter from her head.
All through the day Decorah couldn’t relax and kept her ears to the ground hoping for news of Niles’s return to the office and at last, he did. So she waited nervously for his calling since she had put her contact at the end of the letter.
However, to her disappointment, a day went by without a word from Niles. Deborah didn’t think much about it surmising that Niles must have been too busy that he didn’t go through it.
However, the second day passed and Niles still didn’t contact her, and the third and the fourth went past as well until the fifth day came, she was fired from her cleaning job.
Her being fired from her job was the wake-up call Deborah needed and she knew at once that Isabella was responsible for everything that happened to her.
Isabella must have read her letter and discovered that she was her half-sister and sought to make sure that her father never found out about it so she fired her from her job.
Deborah was so filled with hatred for Isabella that she decided she would have her vengeance. What was so special about Isabella anyway? Who gave her the right to decide her fate? If only she knew whatever happened to her was not related to Isabella at all.
Yes, it was true that Isabella had come into Niles’ office yet she didn’t give much thought to the letter surmising it was one of the homeless asking for assistant since it wasn’t the first time such a thing happened.
Bored and tired of waiting, Isabella left the office for home and didn’t get to see the breeze that threw the lightweight letter off the table and to the ground, and then it flew under his desk. Not even Niles saw it.
Unfortunately, the cleaner in charge of Niles’ office came the next day and got rid of the letter unknowingly.
On the part of her getting fired, one of her jealous co-workers had seen Deborah and the assistant together when she gave him the letter and reported her as giving a bribe for a promotion. Sadly, the head cleaner was so angered by the report that she fired her without giving her a reason for her abrupt dismissal.
Hence, Deborah spent half of her life thinking that Isabella was responsible for her misery. After getting fired from her job, there was no other opportunity to meet Niles and she couldn’t get other jobs like that.
Life became harder once again and this time, Deborah leaned into the dark side of the society. And it was through her illicit acquaintances that she was able to get connected to that old man.
Jacob Miller was a rich old man in need of a companion having lost his wife in the years gone by with all of his children married off. All these years, Deborah never for once forget her need for revenge. Although she had resented Isabella at first, she added Niles to the list in no time. After all, if Niles hadn’t knocked up and left her mother, she wouldn’t have been born into this world, not to talk of living this kind of life.
All of them must pay!
The third point of view:
Deborah didn’t let that opportunity pass her by. Jacob Miller was an old man who didn’t have much time to live and she treated him so well – even more than his own kids did – that the man was manipulated into marrying her.
In one word, when Jacob died, Deborah came into possession of forty percent of his properties. His children wedged war against her in the courtroom but Jacob Miller had signed over that huge amount of property to her in his will, hence there was little they could do about it.
Deborah became rich overnight and never for once did she forget her goal of destroying the Sparkss. So she left the country where she expanded her resources and influence and years later, returned to the city as a wealthy woman.
Now, Deborah had all the money and resources she needed to fulfill her goal and the first step was to destroy Isabella.
Isabella was the apple of Niles’ eyes and the pride of the Sparks group. She carried herself so high and mighty and Deborah was determined to see her fall so hard she wouldn’t even be able to dare raise her head again in this life.
All this while Sparks lived well, she had been in the dark, studying and orchestrating their downfall. So far Isabella treasured nothing but her family and Pedro. Perhaps, she even loved Pedro more.
So Deborah took on the smaller prey, since she couldn’t go against the whole family immediately. All her plan required was good timing and now, it was time to bring Isabella down.
The same way Isabella took away her chance of associating with her father – even for once – she would do the same to the man she loved. Isabella should know what it feels like to be devastated.
As for Niles, he would be punished for his past. He shouldn’t have lived that way in the past?- he shouldn’t have ruined so many lives. Isabella would be the first tribulation, more was yet to come.
Since she couldn’t fight the family alone, she had gotten a helper – Jennifer. It was astonishing to know the numerous ideas Jennifer had up there – in her head – it was crazy. Jennifer’s feud was more with Reina than Niles, either way, it affected Niles and her – Deborah – would make sure to supply all the resources she needed to make her dreams come true.
“So how do you intend to destroy Niles? You do know you can’t take away his riches and powers, he has so many powerful allies that would back him up if something goes wrong?” Jennifer asked excitedly. If there was anyone keener for their plan to go through, it was her.
Jennifer began to mention them, “Eden, Sakuzi, Emerald, Emily and her kingly husband, Judy, they are too much of a disturbance,”
“That’s the problem,” Deborah said to Jennifer’s confusion.
“Huh?”
“They are strong only because they’re together. What do you think would happen when the love between them is shattered?” Deborah asked, taking a sip of her drink.
A pleased smile crossed Jennifer’s lips, “Is that your plan? Drive them apart?”
“Together, we stand; divided, we fall. That’s the bond holding Sparks’s group. We have to snap that bind,”
“So, what are you planning? What’s my role?” Jennifer was anxious to know.
Deborah looked her in the eyes, “This war is a story and I’m carefully drafting the plots even though I know the end already,” Deborah was confident.
She went on to say, “Simply keep doing what you’re good at, Just make sure my identity doesn’t get discovered nor should they find out that we work together,”
“Sure, I’m good at it. Moreover, why would Niles discover that I’m working with his bastard daughter,” Jennifer guffawed villainously, nor did she get to notice the way Deborah’s face changed.
“Bastard daughter, huh?” Deborah mused inwardly. Although she simply smiled at that comment, it pissed her off. Jennifer lacked manners or wasn’t the word “manners” registered in that crazy head of hers.
“What about your son?” Deborah raised the conversation, “I heard he has completely forsaken you,” She subtly insulted Jennifer and enjoyed the look on her face.
Jennifer should know that she wasn’t a pushover. Just because she needed her on this cause doesn’t mean they’re equal. She got her out of the mental asylum and had the power to put her back in there.
The smug look on Jennifer’s face ceased slowly. It dawned on her that she had misunderstood her relationship with this woman. She thought Deborah hated Niles as much as she did and used that term not to insult her but for amusement. She was wrong.
“What do you intend to do about that?” Deborah asked with a smile. She didn’t intend to be enemies with the crazy Jennifer but to remind her that the only reason they were together was for this cause. Aside from that, they were of different status.
“I’ll get him in no time, no…” She corrected, “Neon would have no choice but to come to me,” Jennifer declared.
“I don’t care as far as he can be useful to our cause,” Deborah said.
“I do care, he’s my son,” Jennifer stated.
Deborah glanced up, “He’s useful then,” And went back to sipping her coffee.
