But to me, it felt like a huge explosive detonated in my ear, what did I just hear?
Reina met Jennifer behind my back? Was it the important errand she talked about? Just like in the past, Maria was still a goody-two-shoes; she didn’t change at all.
Why couldn’t she just learn? Some people would never change, just like my father – it slowly dawned on me. They were all right, Adam has to die for others to live a peaceful life.
“Where is she?!” My anger began to boil. First, it was Isabella and Neon, now Maria? She has some nerves.
“Oh, she’s still at the restaurant waiting for you,”
“Waiting for me?” I did a double-take. She should be running from me, not waiting for me. Fine, she wanted to play this game, I’m in.
Without further words, I drove to the Cafe like a madman with Eden after me. The place was empty with Jennifer the only person in sight, Eden seems to have cleared the place.
“Niles!” her face lit up as soon as she saw me. Jennifer must have overflowing confidence since she stood from her seat to come and hug me.
Naturally, I don’t hit women since that’s abuse against God’s wonderful fragile creature. But she was a clear exception.
I raised my hand and slapped her twice across both cheeks, the weight sent her to the ground.
“How dare you?!” I growled, taking slow steps towards her.
I expected fear to appear in her eyes but she wasn’t scared at all. Instead, she stood to her feet once again, her lips curved to the side mockingly with my palmprint on her cheeks.
“It must have worked,” She simpered
“What?”
“Did Reina die?”
My breath hitched, eyes darkened and I grabbed her by the neck, choking her, “What did you do to her you bitch!” I roared at her face.
“See that incense,” She tilted her head to the direction of the burnt-out ashes on the table, “That’s a very hard soporific ….” she laughed hysterically as I figured out the rest.
She lured Reina here and got her to inhale the smoke hence resulting in her sleeping on the steering and getting into an accident.
“So tell me, did she die? Am I going to occupy her position?” She had this huge expectation on her face. This woman has lost it, Isabella was right; Jennifer was crazy.
I released Jennifer, pushing her away from me with so much force that she hit a table yet didn’t mind the pain. I’m so disgusted with the sight of her.
“Niles, tell me the news!” She demanded, coming back to touch me even after manhandling her, “Reina died, right?”
“No,” I snorted, “She didn’t die at all. Your plan failed woefully,” I enunciated it slowly for her to get the whole fact into her head.
“No!!” Jennifer shrieked to the extent that even I was startled.
“That is impossible! She’s supposed to be dead! I’m the one who’s supposed to be your wife!?You love Neon, we can be one lucky family,” She raved.
I was amused, this crazy woman had high expectations. I scoffed, “Keep on dreaming,” and turned to leave.
Jennifer needs to be locked up in a mental asylum before she hurts others and possibly herself.
“If I can’t have you, Niles Sparks, nobody will!” I heard her roar but didn’t glance back at her. She can continue with her delusion.
“Niles, watch out!” I heard Eden warn me.
I turned in time to see Jennifer coming at me with a knife. I simply sidestepped her, she went awry and lost her balance, crashing into the tables and chairs at that side and passed out from the impact.
Eden snatched the knife from her grasp while I tried to calm my racing heart. As expected, adrenaline had kicked in at that last minute.
“Go and stay with Reina, I would deal with her,” Eden said to me.
“Thank you,” I said to him, extremely grateful. I was just about to leave when something came into my head and I didn’t hold it in.
“I’m sorry for snatching Kay from you,” I apologized.
Eden looked up, staring at me like I was an alien, ” Are you Niles or another personality possessing him?”
“I take back my words -“
“I’m sorry for tipping off the police on that day. Trust me when I tell you I never intended Kay to die, heck! I didn’t even know she was there. I just wanted to cost you that deal so your father could punish you,” he confessed.
I wrinkled my nose, “Yeah, I know. Why do you think I’ve been keeping it a secret since then till that day,”
“Because you wanted to show off your stupid magnanimity to my face?” he teased me.
I chuckled, “Maybe,”
Eden laughed.
“You know, maybe, when all of this craziness is over, we could have a drink sometime,” I offered.
“No problem, as far as you don’t end up falling for my charms,” He joked.
“You don’t have to worry, I trust Isabella to bring my senses back around,”
We laughed like old-time friends.
“I should go to Reina,”
“Yeah,” Eden nodded, looking away,
