THE SHE DEVIL

The She-devil

I sat with my hands on my lap, waiting patiently to be called in for my interview, candidates before me went in and came out of the office crying, I wondered what happens in there but in all getting this job is my number one priority, no matter what happens.

"Karol Fisher"

It was time for my interview, I slowly got up, walked past the rest of the candidates with a smiley face on.

They all gaze as I walked into the office of my employer, "Daren Drew" the son of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Ravi Drew, his parents were the same people who not only duped my father, took over his business but also planned to kill my entire family, on the day of my parents anniversary.

Before my eyes were gunned down, I could still feel the tension I had when the masked man, pointed a gun at me, and without hesitation pulled the trigger right to my stomach, as I slowly depleted to the floor with my parents.

The whole news circulated the whole city, our bodies were rushed into the hospital but unfortunately, my parents died before they could reach, but luckily I was saved.

Aunt Rose Marie, a distant relative of my parents, heard the news and right there in the hospital decided to get my face changed into someone new, under the pretense of being her daughter, I was to take revenge for what happened to my parents, with lots of investigation we found of that Mr. Smith drew, the business partner to my dad, was responsible for their death. Now it looks like I need to play the game of infiltrating his family and getting my revenge for my parent's death, no matter what!".

"Have a sit miss Karol"

Daren offers a sit with a rather warm smile on his face, I sat down and quietly handed over my resume to him, he reads thoroughly and lifted his head the moment he glanced through the last word.

"Impressive resume, miss!"

He says to me once more, seeing the cute smile I had on, he pulls out his pen from his pouch, and without asking me any questions, he approved me for the job.

"I don't understand Mr drew"

I braided his gaze back to mine, waiting for his response to me.

"What don't you understand! You got the job?".

For a second time, he confirmed it to me, indeed even God wanted me to have this Job.

After a while! I stepped out of his office, the rest of the candidates thought my eyes would have been filled up with tears, got amazed when I step out smiling like I had just won a lottery, which by the way, I did, aunt Rose Marie will be so proud of me, thus after a long time of indexed planning it was finally the time to get back at them who took my happiness away from me.



Chapter two loading---------- (2)

The she-devil

I straightened up my back, pushed out my trunk, and walked out of the company with my head held up high and my smile on.

Thereafter, I returned home to aunt Rose Marie, I couldn't wait to tell her so I rushed into her room but caught her unconscious on the floor.

"Aunt"

I snatched her up and laid her down on the bed, the doctor came home the second I told him what arose.

He ran some check on her and after a while asserted to me with a gloomy look on, the look on his face got me worried, I hoped aunt was okay because she was the one family I had after the death of my parents.

"Am sorry Karol but your aunt has leukemia!" The doctor said to me and when someone has leukemia to a lame man's understanding it means cancer of the blood.

My heart was slowly ripping apart, I cannot lose my aunt, she was my family and not to say, the only family I had.

"Is there any way we can save her, doctor?"

If there was a way to save my aunt, I wouldn't hesitate to do that but unfortunately, my hope dashed into pieces at the juncture the doctor jolted his head in grievance.

" I am sorry, there is not, and besides this isn't the first time your aunt has fallen unconscious, it happened a month ago but luckily she was brought in to the hospital, that's when she found out that she had leukemia"

One thing I couldn't comprehend was why didn't she tell me the truth, I was just like a daughter to her, but why did she keep this kind of serious Information from me.

"Urgh"

A weak moan veered out attention and saw she had regained consciousness, aunt saw the depressing look on my face and it gave it away that I must have found out that truth about her Illness.

"Hey! Dear! You are back"

She placed a pillow behind her back as she rested on it geeking at me.

"Thank you doctor"

I waited for him to leave, hence retorts back the moment he left us alone in the room.

"Why didn't you tell me about your Illness?". I said with a pissed-off tone.

"Why should I? So you could feel sorry for me?".

Aunt retreats to me, recouping her attention elsewhere, I never believed she could say such to me, after all, she was my aunt.

"Really aunt? How on earth will I feel pity for you! You are my family and it's best I know what's going on".

My answer made no effort to change her mind, rather she shifted the topic to avoid arguing with me.

"So tell me! Did you get the job?".

She inquired idling for my response, "Yes I did Aunt!" I finally weave out the answer she was dying to hear.

"That's good! It's now time to execute the second stage of our plans, hmmm!". She shoots a warm smile at me.

The she-devil

Aunt was more concerned with our plans other than her health, she gestured out to me as I pulled her up from the bed, "come on". The weakness aunt felt disappeared the moment I made known I got the job.

We walk into a dark room, the atmosphere recked of dust, widows were locked shut, "turn on the lights please" she pointed out where the switch was and when I turned it on, I was mesmerized by what I saw.

The whole room was filled with pictures of Mr. Drew's whole family and every activity they underwent each day.

"What is this aunt! I never knew such room excited?" I said looming my eyes around, rather she pulls my eyes over to a photo of a young man, which was; Mr. Drew's son ( Daren Drew).

"You do know who he is right?" Aunt idlis for my response, " yes...I..do" I answered but was more concerned about what aunt was thinking.

"Okay! So change of plan! You won't only infiltrate Mr. Drews's family but also use his son as a medium to get what you want". She confirmes and hoped to hear an enthusiastic response to her sudden change of plans.

"Wait! What?". I Said in shock, my feet pulled a step back from where she stood glancing at me.

"What is it? Do you not wish to take revenge for the death of your parents and take back what you lost?".

I halted to think for a second, before returning my opinion to her, " I do but using the son, isn't right? Mr. Daren is innocent, he shouldn't be added to our plans".

My hesitancy to her plans made aunt suspicious about me, she fills up the distance between us, dragging my ears forward to where her mouth was, echoing her words through my ears "now listen and listen good! Don't you think of falling in love with Mr. Drew's Son and before you try to do anything that might jeopardize our plans, thinks well and this isn't a debate, you will make sure Daren Drew falls in love with you". She angrily shoves me away, ambling out from the room.

Although I was hell-bent on wrecking the lives of Drew's family, Daren wasn't on the list, and besides he didn't do anything wrong, the only thing was Mr drew ended up having a murderous father.

The same day, aunt and I was sited at the dining table, quietly having our dinner, when Mr. Daniel the Butler informed us that a young man was waiting outside for me

Who?"

I tried to inquire but he had no idea what his name was, thus after some time, I walked out of the house just to see my boss Daren outside my home.

"Sir Daren! What are you doing here".

My eyes turned back, to cross-check if aunt was in anyway spying on us, apparently seeing him here will give her the urge and the conformity that Daren was the key player in our plans.
