Chapter 0204


    “Ashanti, leave.” She sneers and her voice is a shaky mess.


    “Not until you tell me why you hate me so much. What did I ever do to you, Rhea? Why did you


    always have to treat me with so much hatred and disdain? Why?” I ask bitterly and all hell breaks


    loose.


    “Because you always thought you were better than me!” She screams and the tears in her eyes


    break loose. The flow down her cheeks like a waterfall. “I… I…” Her voice catches in her throat. “I


    can never forget the day our father brought my mum and me to the house. How you looked at me


    with the same disdain youin about me looking at you with. How you and the other children


    around did not want to talk to me for the first few weeks. I had to work very hard to win them over. I


    had to work extra hard to win our father''s heart as well. You were the jewel of the pack. Everyone


    loved you. They all adored you. Treated you like a princess. I wanted that. I wanted everything you


    had and I knew if I worked hard. If I just… worked… hard…” she sniffles tears and swallows hard.


    “I''d get it. That''s why I turned your friends against you. That''s why I made sure my mother


    influenced our father to always pay more attention to me when your mother left. I worked hard and I


    got what I wanted!”


    “You call that hard work?” I ask in total disbelief, raising my voice as well. My body is vibrating with


    anger after hearing what she just said. I want to reach out for her face and w her sh with my


    nails. I want to rip these bars apart and meet her there, give her the beating of her life. She made


    my life a living hell in my own father''s house for this stupid reason? Unbelievable! “That''s no form of


    hard work. That''s you causing damage to other people and stealing what does not belong to you!


    That''s wrong!”


    “You will never understand!” She shouts, shaking her head. Her face ispletely drenched with


    tears and I''m trying hard to keep mine at bay. “Even if I exin from now till the next full moon, you''ll


    never understand the reason for my actions.”


    At first, I used to think her mother was the bad one. The one who influenced Rhea''s behavior


    towards me, but I just found out that''s not the case. Rhea simply followed her mother''s path. She


    has a mind of her own and has be even more evil than her mother.


    It was just a matter of time before she killed me out of jealousy.


    I no longer feel sorry for her.


    “You are right. I will never understand the reason for your actions and I don''t want to. I''m happy


    you''ve been caught and I look forward to seeing you get punished for your crimes. For Alina, I''ll


    handle her. Just like you, she''ll be caught. I''ll make sure of that.”

    “You''ll catch her only if you survive what she has nned for you.”


    “You’re still rooting for her even after she betrayed you.” I chuckle bitterly. “Your loyalty is refreshing.


    I hope you have a great time here.” I sh her a tight small and spin on my heels.


    As I walk away, I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders and the tight feeling in my


    chest is gone. We needed this sh to clear the air between us and now that I know the reason why


    she hates me, I feel better about myself.


    I’m not a nobody. She only used to call me that to make herself feel better.


    One down, one to go!
