Deborah was taken aback by the man’s appearance that her mouth remained open for nearly a minute. She thought she had been prepared to meet her father, but the truth was that she was never prepared and his appearance had been a shock.
She stared at him, although he has aged as every biological creature should over the years, he was still stunning as ever. She had been fed pictures and clips of him over the years, but seeing him up close was a whole new experience.
Most of all, she stared into his amber eyes that they shared, although his was a lighter gold than hers, the similarities were there. For hoping sake, she wondered if he would even have the slightest suspicion they were related.
For a moment there, Deborah had this crazy thought that if he accepted her as his daughter and catch up on the lost time with her that she might?forgive him. But then, she caught herself at the last minute. There was no forgiving in her dictionary, shit already happened and this time, there was no more turning back.
“Niles…I mean sir, Niles,” She finally regained her ability to speak and as well, shut her God damn mouth.
“You seem to know me,” Niles teased her on purpose.
“Who doesn’t know you?” Reina said, leaning to his side, “Sometimes I wonder if it’s a curse having such a handsome husband,”
Niles was smug.
He indeed loved her, Deborah realized. She could feel the affection from there and was almost happy for them until she realized that her mother could have had something like this if he hadn’t ruined her life. How could he be at peace and have a loving home when her mother doesn’t have one.
Deborah never visited her mother after that day but she made sure to sent money for her up keep and opal’s
health care. She made sure to remind her mother that all those luxury came from the daughter, the one she despised – the one she hated the most.
Perhaps, now she was in the city, she would pay a visit to her – especially to visit her sister, Opal. But then, that would be after she was done with her vengeance. Once her goals were fulfilled, she would proudly stand before her mother and tell her that the people who ruined her dreams and life were gone.
“I want to thank you for saving my wife’s life. It’s a honorable thing you did out there and you can be rest assured that I’d compensate you greatly,” Niles promised her.
“No, you don’t need to bother yourself about that. I’m good,” Deborah said.
“I insist,”
“Then pay it in a form of favour then?”Deborah suggested.
Niles raised his brows, “Favour?”
“I have enough money to cover the damages, so I don’t really need yours. But then, who knows? I might need your help one day,” she persuaded him.
“Well, if you put it that why, why not?” Niles shrugged, “I owe you one then,”
“Same here,” Reina smiled kindly, “Also, do you have a family to spend the night with since you won’t be discharged until tomorrow,”
“You don’t have to worry about that, I’m good,” Decorah assured.
“Then I’ll meet you tomorrow morning,” Reina said.
“Sure,”
“And thank you once again for saving my life,”
“It was nothing, ma’m,” Deborah smiled.
“Goodbye then,”
“Goodbye,” Deborah had a smile on her face the entire time until her door was shut close. The woman was kind enough to move her into a private ward.
However, her phone rang almost immediately, piercing the silence and she looked down at the screen only to discover that it was no other than that crazy woman, Jennifer. Deborah snorted, took her that long to call.
Deborah answered the call only for Jennifer to scream into her ears, “What the hell do you think you’re thinking?!”

Bless this shameless author with your golden ticket ????
The third point of view:
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!”
Deborah sighed, “Now I see where your son got his lack of manners. What do you think you’re doing right now?” she asked back, her voice low and cold as it reached zero degrees.
“I almost had her! All of this could have been over if you hadn’t saved her fucking ass!! Why?!! Why do you have to ruin it all even though you told me to do what I’m so good at?!! ” She screamed into the phone so loudly that Deborah’s ears almost bled.
However, Deborah remained calm amid the fact that her ears were almost ringing from the olfactory assault. She simply told her, “If I had known that what you were so good at in the first place was ruining my plans, I wouldn’t have gotten you out in the first place”
“Ruining your plan? When did I do that? You wanted Reina out of the picture as well, didn’t you?” Jennifer said, her mind going wild with all possibilities.
“I told you to make sure that my identity doesn’t get discovered nor should they find out that we work together, but what you did today was putting my plans in jeopardy. And while we speak Niles’ men are on a manhunt against the man you sent to finish off his wife and from what I’ve seen so far, that man isn’t going to rest until he has you. I hope you got my message,” she hinted that Jennifer should end whoever she sent to do the job.
“You said I’m the cause of this all but from what I see, you’re the one who ruined the whole thing! You should have let Reina die then all of my plans wouldn’t have gone to waste!”
“It is not yet time!” Deborah hissed through gritted teeth, “I told you I’ve plotted the drafts of how everyone would end up in my head,”
“Fuck those drafts of yours! I needed to be proactive, which I did until you decided it was not good enough!” Jennifer retorted, laughing hysterically, “You think Niles would not find out what you’re up to soon? You’ve never dealt with him, you know?”
“I know,” Deborah acquiesced, “Which is why I intend to get close to him. So I must say thanks to you for providing me with the right opportunity to do so,”
“I knew it! You used me!” Jennifer growled as if the thoughts of her betrayal stung her skin like acid.
“Used you?” Deborah chuckled, “I?can only call it being at the right place at the right time. How lucky was I to have been there to rescue Reina, Niles’ wife from the hands of a crazy ex-fiancée?” She guffawed villainously.
“I should have known there was more to it when you released me! You never intended for us to be partners!” Jennifer finally saw what she was, nothing but a pawn in the game Deborah orchestrated. It now hit her when Deborah said she got everything plotted out, that included her. The girl was a bigger psychopath than her.
“Partners?” Deborah snorted, “Well, yes, the truth is that I once thought that we could be partners but that was until we had conflicts of interests. I thought you could see the plans in my own perspective but it turns out, you were blind,”
