“Who knew that after so many years, you are still such an angel, you care so much about your sister, have you forgotten what she has done to you?”
“Oh it’s you!” Sunny recognizes who it is, “I didn’t expect it to be you.”
She hasn’t seen Mandy for a really long time, she wonders why she appears now.
“Sunny, it is your fault that she lost her child, why don’t you give your daughter to her since she understands so much, I don’t think she would mind if she has another mother.”
“Don’t you even dare!”
Sunny is really angry now, she hates people like Mandy, people who are so ridiculous, who don’t know anything about what is good for oneself.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Have you forgotten what Kevin did to me for you?”
“I don’t know, but what I do know is that Kevin didn’t hurt you so much.”
“True, he wouldn’t, the person who would is you and Kelly, the two of you knew that me and Kevin had a long history, but what have you done to me?”
Even though Sunny is a little scared of Mandy at this moment, she still holds Zola behind her to protect her.
“Even if what I did was not nice, I am now apologizing to you, and at this moment, I haven’t done anything to you again, why would you keep me here and not let me go?”
“Sunny, your child with him is already so big, and you are still trying to tell me you haven’t hurt me? Do you think I am stupid?”
“Okay, so what do you want?”
“Hahahahaha, what I want is for you to lose everything you have, you and your sister, I want you to die!”
Mandy takes out a gun from her pocket, and holds it against Sunny, “Who wants to go first?”
Both Sunny’s and Zola’s faces turn pale when they see the gun, especially Zola’s, she hasn’t expected Mandy to be serious about it.
“Many, are you crazy!”
Zola stares at Mandy in disbelief, while she starts to struggle with her hands, trying to get the ropes loose.
“It won’t help you, this kind of knot get tighter the more you try to loosen it. Hahahaha Zola, who knew you would have a day like this. Remember when you and I made plans to frame your sister? You weren’t that scared back in the days!”
Sunny says angrily, “Shut up, you are nothing!”
“Right, I am nothing, but I will make you have nothing either!”
Then Mandy unlocks the gun, and prepares herself to pull the trigger, when there is a knock on the door.
It is a rhythmic knock, three times.
Mandy turns to the door, unexpected of the knock, she puts her gun away, and yells towards the door, “Who is it?”
From the other side of the door they hear a voice say, “It’s me, the landlord.”
Mandy’s eyes show doubt, and she replies, “But you came yesterday already.”
The person outside the door pauses, and continues, “Right, but my calculations yesterday were wrong, I wanna go over the rent with you once again.”
Mandy hides Sunny and Zola somewhere, and then goes to the door to open it, “I am sorry, I was…” showering. But the rest of the sentence is stuck in her throat when she sees the familiar face at the door.
“It’s you!” Kevin.
Kevin also hasn’t expected the person to open the door to be Mandy, and stands at the door, stunned.
He takes a good look inside, as if he hasn’t seen Sunny at all.
“Why are you here?”
This question gives a feeling of old friends meeting each other again.
Sunny and Zola who are hidden in another room are having this conversation.
“Zola, I owe you this.”
“Hah, you know the two of us don’t really have anything to talk about anymore.”
Zola gives a laugh, her look shows a little loneliness, “But, do you think I will have children in the future?”
Sunny pauses, and immediately replies, “As long as you do as I say, and get healthier, you will have your children.”
Zola’s expression lights up because of the promise she gets from her sister, “Really?”
“Really, just believe me!”
“Okay, then I will believe you one last time.”
“Do you think we will get away from Mandy?”
When Sunny hears Zola’s question, she throws a look towards the door, and says, “I am sure we will.”
The conversation on the other side of the door continues, “I live here.”
“I am looking for someone.”
“Looking for someone?” Mandy looks surprised, “Why are you looking here?”
Kevin sees the surprise on Many’s face, and wonders if he might have looked at the wrong place.
But soon, Kevin hears a sound.
“Help…” This voice seems to be coming from Mandy’s room.
Kevin’s expression changes immediately, his voice dense, “Let me through.”
Mandy also hears the voice that calls out for help, and her face expression changes multiple times.
