Chapter 153 - One Hundred And Fifty-three : Did She Die?
The third point of view
"What have you been doing?! " Angela yelled at her daughter.
Kim was startled, her face scrunched up in confusion, "I don\'t understand"
She had not been home last night to cover up for the works piled up on her desk she had missed the past few days thanks to Tina\'s whimsical errands. But what she never expected to meet was her mom\'s cold and furious reception.
Her mother smirked mirthlessly with her brows slightly raised, "You don\'t understand?"
Before Kim could guess her intention, Angela picked these papers from the empty side of the sofa and threw them at her face.
The look of fury on her mother\'s face made her question herself, had she done anything wrong? But when she thought about it, the result came up null.
Perplexity flashed across Kim\'s feature as she went through the papers but that look soon evolved into bewilderment.
Her lips quivered, "How is this possible?" She glanced up at her mother, searching for answers.
"You\'re asking me? Whose responsibility was it to keep her from getting involved with the company\'s matters?"
Kim wet her lips and tucked her hair behind her ear after taking a deep breath, "Fine, I admit it. This was a mistake on my part but it wouldn\'t repeat."
She waved the papers and went on "There\'s no need to panic, it\'s just? seven percent share compared to my massive shares with yours and dad\'s altogether; she can do little to nothing with it as far as we get the other shareholders on our side"
"I\'ve invested so much on you Kimberly and don\'t plan on losing, let\'s hope everything goes as you said, " Angela told her and marched back to her room.
With seething anger, Kim envisaged Maya as the papers; she scrunched it into a ball, threw it to the ground, and began to step on it.
"Die you witch! Why can\'t you die?! Must you ruin my life?!"
"Ma\'am, are you okay? " Her angry outburst attracted one of the maids who asked out of concern.
"Are you okay in the head?" Kim gestured to her brain.
"What?" The maid was now confused.
"Who invited you here? Did I ask you to interfere?"
"No ma\'am, I was just worried over-" she was still talking when a slap met her face causing her to let out a sharp gasp.
"Ma\'am?" The poor girl questioned in disbelief, hand pressed against her red cheek while tears welled in her eyes.
Kim scoffed," Worried about me? More like you\'re here to laugh at my misery?"
The girl\'s lips trembled causing tears to trail down her cheeks as she shook her head frantically, "Of course not Miss, why would I dare to laugh at you?"
"Perhaps, you\'re Maya\'s spy?" She accused her outrageously.
"Miss, that\'s impossible -"
"Did she send you to spy on me?" Kim dropped her clutch purse on the floor and grabbed the girl on the hair, pulling tight at her strands.
"You lowly thing, she sent you here, didn\'t she?!" She took out her anger on the maid.
As much as the maid wanted to fight back, she couldn\'t. Though Kim wasn\'t her employee, Angela granted her daughter\'s every request. So she couldn\'t get fired, she needed the money desperately even if it meant taking Kim\'s cruelty.
"Ma\'am please have mercy on me, I didn\'t do anything wrong" The girl pleaded continuously, the tears streaming from her eyes while trying to loosen Kim\'s grip on her hair.
"Oh my God, young miss! " The housekeeper whose attention had been grabbed by the painful sobs and grunts coming from the living room rushed to separate them.
"Help me, someone should help me!"
"You b*tch! You should go and die"
"Miss Kim, enough already"
The wrangle drew other staff who finally succeeded in ripping Kimberly away from the maid.
She was kicking furiously in the air and her hand, a few strands came out due to her forceful grip. The maid cried, burying her face in the chest of a staff who had no choice than to rub her back comfortingly.
Kim cursed furiously as the maid was led away, her face livid with anger.? "Pray I never see that ugly face of yours around!"
With a murderous glare, she brushed off the fallen strands from her hands,
shook free their grip on her arm, then picked her purse from where she had dropped it earlier and stormed into her room; the door closed with a bang.
Kim swept everything off her vanity table and stared into the mirror: her eyes were red and thirsted for blood.
Upon everything she had done, that bitch managed to secure some shares right under her nose?
Thinking about it irked her, she just wanted to strangle the life out of Maya!.
Everything belonged to her, that bitch was nothing but an illegitimate seed, her mother\'s greatest mistake was allowing her to live; she should have aborted her when she had the opportunity.
Nothing but sheer hatred was seen in Kimberly\'s eyes. Though she had everything and her parent\'s affection from childhood, she still wasn\'t content - she wanted even the very ground she stepped on to be worshipped.
Right from childhood, she had seen the way Maya was loved by all and sundry save her parents who showed little to no attention.
Grandmother and even the servants held admiration for her plus it was easy for her to form friends -Maya had a likable attitude which drew people easily to her like a magnet which Kim didn\'t like one bit.
Maya was nothing but filth - she didn\'t belong in the same social standing as her, sister, or not -so why should she get that much attention? Everybody was supposed to treat her indifferently!
At that moment, young Kim decided she would never let her younger sister be happy and took matters into her own hands.
The first step was getting Maya\'s friends to her side which was pretty easy with gifts and money.
Thankfully, both attended a school full of pompous elites who looked down on commoners and bastards.
Kim didn\'t do much, just exposed the fact she was an illegitimate child and a country pumpkin and the rest was history working to her heart desires.
At home, she ostracized the maids from communing with her with a threat of losing their jobs once caught.
Then she purposely sabotaged the little attention her parents showed Maya - she didn\'t even break a sweat on that one.
It was not hard to get her relatives on her side, her only obstacle was grandmother from the beginning to now. Kim had nothing on the old woman moreover, she had always been scared of her.
Who knew after all this, Maya would still get to the position she was today.
Fine, she was Kimberly, she would come up with something to ruin that devil\'s spawn once and for all.
With that determination, Kim went into the bathroom and had her shower. The cool water running down her head calmed her, enough to think and strategize.
Hair dry blown and ready to rest, Kim lounged on her bed going through the Internet when certain news caught her attention.
She sat up with immediate effect while going through the news once again to confirm her eyes weren\'t playing tricks on her.
Suddenly, her lips slowly stretched to the side before bursting into boisterous laughter.
What the hell was this, the universe was on her side for once? Kim hysterical laughter tore through the quiet room that one would think she was going crazy.
She picked her phone and called her newly formed partner in crime, Christina.
Unlike the other times, the rich witch picked at the first ring.
"What is it? "
Talk about attitude.
Kim contemplated just ending the call but the thought of sharing this joyous news with a partner, made her body tingle with excitement.
"Have you seen the news?" She asked.
"What news?"
"Maya was involved in an incident "
"Did she die?"
Kim smirked, great minds think alike.
"Still in surgery as of the time of report"
"Huge disappointment then," she said with no hint of sympathy.
"Shouldn\'t we pay a visit to the hospital?" Kim suggested.
"I told you, no one should suspect we\'re working together. I\'m going with Niklaus, find yours "
The call ended
"Find yours" Kim made a face and mockingly mimicked Tina\'s voice.
"Who wanted to leave with you, anyway?" She mumbled to herself.
Kim frowned, with everything that has happened between her and Maya so far, there was a probability the bitch would kick her out but ….If she came with her mother and grandmother, she wouldn\'t act recklessly.
If luck is on her side and Niklaus sees her with a remorseful look on her face, it might change his opinion of her and provide an opportunity to attract him to her body - where was her low cut top.
But first thing first, she had to play the good granddaughter looking after her sister role.
Kim took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and called her grandmother.
"Grandmother..." Her tears filed voice faltered.
