Chapter 13-
Making Plans!!
I stormed out of Olivia’s office, my fists clenched tight, my heart boiling with rage \
“Ugh! I hate her!” I shouted as I pushed the office doors open.
“Calm down, Elena” my mother, Rosa, said, hurrying behind me.
I yanked the car door open and threw myself inside.X
As we drove, I couldn’t hold it anymore!!!
“Why didn’t Olivia die in that fire?” I screamed “She should have died! Everything should have been minet“:
“Calm down,” Rosa said, glancing at me worriedly. “It’s not good for the baby”
I crossed my arms and looked away, my body shaking
My phone buzzed just then It was Richard calling.X
I wiped my face quickly, softened my voice, and picked up.
“Richard?” I said weakly.
“Baby, how are you feeling? Richard’s voice came through, full of concern
“Tm still weak,” I said, faking a little cough.
I’m on my way to New Orleans,” he said. “Big meeting lined up! I’m finally meeting the CEO of Davenport Industries. Can you believe it? This could change everything for the company. And it’s all thanks to you.
I forced a sweet smile even though he couldn’t see it. “Really? That’s great, Richard. I’m actually in New Orleans too… I’ll wait for you! “That’s perfect, baby, I’ll be there soon.”
He ended the call. I stared at the phone, my fake smile quickly turning into a scowl
I turned to Rosa. “We have to get the company back before Richard finds out the truth,”
Rosa nodded. “We will I won’t let that brat Olivia win.”
Minutes later, we pulled into our mansion. As soon as the gate shut behind us, I throw my bag on the couch and started pacing.
“My father couldn’t even leave the company to me,” I spat. “No, he had to give it to her. To her
“Elena, enough,” Rosa said firmly. “You’ll get it back. You’ll get everything back.”
I flopped onto the couch, sulking
Rosa clapped her hands lightly “Come on, let’s go shopping. Clear your head a little.”
I shook my head. “No, I have a better idea.”
Rosa raised an eyebrow. “What’s that?”
“We need to hire a private investigator,” I said, sitting up straighter. “Find out everything about Olivia’s new husband.”
Rosa’s eyes lit up. “That’s smart”
“And maybe we can set Olivia up, I said, smiling slyly. “Get something dirty on her. Record it. Then send it to her husband.” Rosa laughed. “Better yet, we should have a face–to–face with him. Make him see he mamed the wrong woman.”
I started to feel better already
“I like that plan,” I said. “A lot
Without wasting time, Rosa grabbed her iPad and started searching for the best private investigators in New Orleans. “There,” she said, pointing, “This one. He’s expensive, but he’s the best.”
“Perfect,” I said.
We scheduled a video call immediately.
Ten minutes later, the screen flashed, and a rugged–looking man with sharp eyes appeared.
“Good afternoon, ladies,” he said smoothly. “Name’s Mason. What can I do for you?“%
Rosa smiled politely “We need some information on a man“}}
Mason leaned closer to the camera. “Send me his photo.”
I quickly forwarded the picture I had secretly snapped earlier today at the lawyer’s office. Chase, standing right next to Olivia Mason looked at the photo for a moment. Then he smirked
“He won’t be a mystery for long. No one hides from me,” he said confidently.
“How long will it take?” I asked, topping my nails impatiently against the table.
“Give me a few days. I’ll find out everything and I mean everything”
“We want all the dirt you can find,” Rosa added
Mason nodded. “You’ll get it
leaned back against the chair, satisfied smile on my facel
12:22 PM
“Finally,” I said. “We’re going to destroy her,
Rosa laughed. “And when her new husband sees what kind of woman she really is, he’ll dump her faster than she can blink.”
I got up, feeling like a heavy weight had lifted off my shoulders.X
“Now we can go shopping,” I said, practically skipping toward the door. “We have to celebrate in advance.”
Rosa grabbed her purse. “Let’s go, darling. Today is just the beginning.
As we walked out to the cat I couldn’t help but grin to myself.
Olivia thought she had won.
But she had no idea what was coming for her.
And soon… very soon… everything she loved would come crashing down.
Olivia’s Pov
I walked into the house, tired but glad the day was over.
