Jane buried her head between her thighs and droplets of tears were falling down from her eyes. The scene on how Kayla gushed out blood from her mouth, kept replaying on her head. She was so d@mn scared of losing her daughter.
“Please Kayla, stay with me. Don’t leave me” She said between tears. After what happened to her fifteen years ago, Kayla became her only source of energy.
“I’d kill myself if anything happens to you” Jane muttered again, crying.
Lucas came out from the operating room and sees Jane dabbing her head on her thighs crying. After Kayla collapse on the floor, Jane brought Kayla to Lucas’s hospital.
“Jane” He called her name and Jane slowly raised her head to look at him.
“How is Kayla doing? Please tell me she’s okay, because it’s going to break my heart if she’s no more” Jane said, crying.
Lucas sighed and sat beside her, cleaning her tears. “Don’t you trust me? Do you possibly think I’d allow my daughter die?” He asked, caressing Jane’s wet face.
“How’s Kayla doing?” She asked sniffling.
“Thankfully she’s out of danger, but she has to remain in the hospital for the time being, so she’d get proper treatment”
“What happened to my daughter? Why did she puked out blood from her mouth and collapse?” Jane asked.
“She was poisoned?”
“Poisoned!” Jane exclaimed with shock.
“Yes. I think the person who poison her didn’t want Kayla dead. She only wanted to scare you”
“Who could have done this to Kayla?” Jane asked.
“Are you seriously asking? Who else but Debra and Rebecca. Strange things started happening the moment they step their feet in LA. You were living in peace until they came”
“Let’s say your hunch is correct, but Rebecca can’t possibly harm Kayla. She might h@të me, but Kayla is still her granddaughter”
“What about Debra? She h@tës you more than anything that breathes on earth”
“I don’t think she’s capable of harming someone, Lucas”
“The problem with you is that you trust easily. Have you forgotten what Debra did to you?”
“I haven’t forgotten about it, Lucas. I don’t want to pin the blame on an innocent person. If Kayla wakes up and she tells me the last thing she ate, that’s when I am going to take action on whoever gave her what she ate, because I almost lost my daughter because of them” Jane said between tears and Lucas hugged her.
“Stop crying Jane. I h@të it when you cry” Lucas said patting her, and Jane rest her head on Lucas’s chest.

≤ JULIANNE’S CONDO ≥
Julianna kept pacing around the living room, she was sweating all over despite the working Aircon. She bites her fingernails as she had a flashback on what she did few hours ago.
FLASHBACK
Isa sighed for the sixth times as her driver called a repairman to fix the car, because the car tyres got flat all of a sudden. It was all Rebecca’s doing anyways.
“Why is he not picking up? I’m going to be late for school if I remain here” Isa said, holding the shopping bag that contain the necklace and the cookies.
“Sorry Isa. I will just look for a repairman down the street, stay here and wait for me” Her driver said.
“It’s so lonely here, I want to come with you. It’s not far from here, right?”
“No”
“Then let’s go together” Isa said, dropping her backpack and the shopping bag inside the car, before leaving with her driver.
Julianna slowly walked towards the car and opened it with the spare key Rebecca gave to her. She was wearing a face cap, so her face wasn’t properly seen.
*I saw Isa baking some cookies last night, and when I asked, she said it was for Kayla. I want you to scare Jane a little, by messing with the cookies. I will send you the samples of the cookies Isa made so you’d know what to do* Rebecca’s voice echoed in her ears.
Julianna gulped down her spit, and brought out the cookies Isa made and replaced it with the cookies she had tampered with.
“I’m sorry Jane, but I don’t want Lucas to leave me. The entire problem stated with you, so I have to continue from where I stop, so Lucas can still be mine” Julianna said.
She closed the car door and quickly left, so she won’t be seen by both Isa and her driver.
FLASHBACKS ENDS
Julianna kept chewing on her finger and was shaking at the same time.
“Nothing is going to happen to Kayla, right?” She asked herself as she entered into the world of negative imagination.
She was brought back to the world by a call from Rebecca and she quickly swipe green.
“Bravo Julianna. You should become a serial killer rather than an anchorwoman, you did your job correctly”
“What happened to Kayla?”
“She’s not dead. Like I said earlier, I only wanted you to scare her. You didn’t push through with what I wanted from you, fifteen years ago, right?”
“No I didn’t. I have done what you wanted, so can you stop blackmailing me?” Julianna asked and Rebecca laugh.
“Do you possibly think just because you scared Jane a little I am going to leave you alone? You started this game, you should finish it”
Julianna clenched her fist and asked. “What do you want? Do you want Jane dead, huh?”
“If I wanted her dead, I’d have done it a long time ago. Killing her will be too easy for her. I want her to be in pain all the time”
“Meaning?”
“The fashion show is coming up this weekend, I have no doubts that she’s going to get the crown. I want you to disgrace her by uploading her nake picture during her speech. I want it to go viral” Rebecca said with a smirk.
“What? Are you even human? How can you suggest such a thing? How will I even get her naked body!”
“You have no right to raise your voice at me, Julianna. I have you wrapped around my finger, so do your job properly, else you’re going to lose the person who is precious to you” Rebecca said and ends the call.
Julianne threw her phone away and screamed, falling to the floor.

≤ J•K•L HOSPITAL ≥
“I’m okay mom, you don’t have to hug me so tightly” Kayla said, weakly.
“You don’t know how scared I was when you collapse a few hours ago. I was so scared of losing you. I love you so much, please don’t leave me, ok” Jane said, sniffling.
“I won’t mom. Stop crying” Kayla said, cleaning Jane’s tears.
“Kayla” Lucas called her name.
“Yes Dad”
“What was the last thing you ate?”
“I ate some cookies. It was given to me by Isa, Why do you ask?” Kayla asked looking at both Jane and Lucas.
••••••
≤ ADRIAN’S MANSION ≥
“Why aren’t you eating, Isa?” Debra asked, when she saw Isa staring into space.
Isa sighed and dropped her cutleries. “I know you said I shouldn’t talk to Kayla anymore, but I’m worried about her”
Rebecca smirked secretly and asked. “What happened to her?”
Isa was about answering her question, when Jane barged inside the house with Lucas.
“What are you doing in my house?” Debra asked, but Jane slapped her so hard on the face and began pulling her hair.
“How dare you Debra? Just because I kept quiet all this time doesn’t mean you should hurt my daughter! How dare you use your daughter to poison my daughter!” Jane shouted, bouncing on Debra severally.
Debra screamed as she try to break free from Jane. Rebecca was pretending to help but at the same time feeling happy that Jane suspects Debra and not her. As for Isa, she was confused
Adrian rushed downstairs after hearing Jane’s voice from his room.
“Jane!” He called her name, separating her from Debra.
“How dare you come to my house to fight with me!” Debra barked, trying to attack Jane, but Lucas stopped her.
“Don’t even dare Debra, else I am going to forget that I am a doctor and feed you to the vultures”
“What’s going on here, Lucas?” Adrian asked, confusedly.
“You should ask your good for nothing wife, Adrian! She ask Isa to give some cookies to Kayla, just so she can poison Kayla!”
“What?” Adrian muttered in shock.
“That’s not true, Uncle Lucas. I made the cookies myself. My mom never gave it to me” Isa said, crying already. She’s prone to cry anytime she’s accused wrongly.
“Do you possibly think I am going to buy your lies? It’s obvious you’re working with your mom. I regret trusting you as my daughter’s friend, Isa!”
“Dad, I don’t know what she’s talking about. I didn’t collide with mom to poison Kayla”
“You have no right to accuse my daughter and I, Jane. Why will I poison Kayla?” Debra asked.
“Because you’re pained that Kayla is Adrian’s daughter! In as much as Rebecca h@tës me, she can’t harm her own grandchild. You’re the only one who is capable of doing this to my daughter!” Jane shouted and Rebecca smiled, secretly.
“I didn’t poison your daughter”
“Yes you did!” Jane said, trying to attack Debra, but Adrian blocked her from doing so.
“I think you’re mistaking, Jane. Debra isn’t capable of murder”
“Really Adrian? Until now, you’re still acting dumb. Kayla is your daughter!” Lucas shouted at Adrian.
“I know that Lucas. Isa is my daughter too and I know her so well. She’s not capable of killing someone likewise Debra”
“You’re so unbelievable Adrian, but what was I expecting from a dummy like you. You have never believed me anyways” Jane said between tears.
“Jane” Adrian said, trying to touch her, but Jane jerked his hand off.
“I am not going to let this slide, Adrian. Debra and Isa are going to pay for what they did to my daughter”
“I didn’t do anything!” Debra defend herself.
“Let’s see if you will have the mouth to talk when I gathered evidence against you” Jane said and walked out of the house, Lucas also followed suit.
“Thank you for believing me, Adrian” Debra said.
“Don’t thank me Debra. I only said that from my perspective about you, but if you really did that to Kayla, I will drag you to jail myself” Adrian said and walked away.
“What’s aunt Jane saying, mom? Did Kayla get poisoned because of the cookies I gave her? I didn’t do it mom, I didn’t poison Kayla” Isa said, crying.
“I know you didn’t, so stop crying. Why aren’t you saying anything, mom?” Debra asked, Rebecca.
“Because I have nothing to say Debra, just ignore Jane and get prepared for the fashion show event” Rebecca said and Debra looked at her, suspiciously.

≤ J•K•L HOSPITAL ≈ NIGHT ≥
“Are you such about this mom? Isa is a good girl, she will never poison me” Kayla said.
“She’s under the influence of her mom, Kayla. Debra h@tës me, and she’s ready to do anything just to hurt me. I can’t lose you, Kayla. So you have to stop being friends with Isa, okay”
“I will mom, so don’t be sad anymore” Kayla said and hugged Jane.
••••••
≤ LUCAS’S MANSION ≈ SAME NIGHT ≥
“How’s Kayla doing?” Julianna asked, trying to hide her nervousness.
“Thankfully she’s out of danger”
“That’s a relief. Jane must be so terrified, right?”
“Who wouldn’t be, Julie? Adrian made it all worse by not supporting her. I wonder when he’s ever going to believe her. He’s such a coward” Lucas said and looked at Julianna, but she was staring into space.
“Are you even listening to me?” He asked and Julianna startled.
“Yes I am. I.. I will be in the kitchen preparing dinner for you” She stuttered and walked away.
“What’s wrong with her?” Lucas muttered.
••••••
≤ J•K•L HOSPITAL ≈ NEXT DAY ≥
“Thanks for coming here to see me Xiaomi, and you too Xavier” Kayla said, smiling.
“Did the poison reset your brains? Am no longer an agent of the devil?” Xavier asked and Kayla chuckled.
“Are you really sure Isa and her mom were behind it?” Xiaomi asked.
“I am not sure, Xiaomi. But with Isa’s behavior, I am starting to doubt her. She was avoiding me before, but she stopped doing that and gave me cookies saying she made it”
“Isa isn’t that kind of girl, Kayla” Xavier said.
“But still I have to avoid her the best way I can”
“Did your dad come here?”
“Yes he did, Xavier, but I sent him away. He has no right to be here when he didn’t even believe my mom”
“If you need anything, I’m here for you Kayla, always” Xavier said and winked at her, and Kayla smiled.

≤ GOLDEN WINE AND LIQUOR COMPANY ≥
Ethan smiled as he texted Beatrice back. Beatrice no longer work in his company as a cleaner, because he opened a big convenience store for her.
💬 How about you spend the night at my house? I will give you a proper massage. He typed, smiling.
He was waiting for Beatrice’s reply, when Cassidy entered his office. Cassidy used to be his class mate in highschool.
“Long time no see, Mr. bad boy” She said, smiling.
“Cassidy? What are you doing here?”
“It’s being long I last saw your face so I decided to come to Los Angeles to see you, only for me to hear that Mr. bad boy who doesn’t believe in love is in a relationship” Cassidy said, sitting on his lap.
“Get up Cassidy. The days of my bad era is over. I’m a change person now” Ethan said and Cassidy laughed and kissed his lips.
“Doesn’t she know about the gravely sin you committed fifteen years ago?” Cassidy asked, whispering it in his ear, and the hairs on Ethan’s skin stood up immediately.

≤ THE STARS ACADEMY ≈ SOME DAYS LATER ≥
“Kayla! Kayla, please wait!” Isa said, trying to catch up with Kayla.
Kayla stopped walking and looked at Isa with cold face. “What do you want?” She asked, coldly.
“Kayla, don’t tell me you believed what your mom said? I will never do such a…. ”
“I believe her, Isa”
“Kayla” Isa muttered her name in tears.
“I find you suspicious, Isa. You were avoiding me at all cost, but all of a sudden you stop avoiding me and gave me cookies, which almost ended my life. You were trying to kill me, why Isa?”
“I didn’t do it, Kayla. I only avoid you because of something I don’t want to talk about. Please believe me Kayla, why will I poison my sister?”
“In as much as I want to believe you Isa, I can’t do it and you know why? It’s because you have too much secrets in your closet. We’re better off as enemies Isa. Don’t talk to me or approach me again, or else I will take you to hell myself, product of a mistake” Kayla said and walked away.
“I didn’t do it. I didn’t poison you, Kayla. I didn’t do it” Isa said, crying painfully
