Rita's POV:
The harrowing sound of the explosion was like the prologue of my sweet revenge. At the moment of the explosion, I trembled with excitement.
Not long after, I slipped into the hospital and found Lily in the ICU.
It was a pity that she didn't get blown up during the blast.
Nevertheless, she was still lying on the bed. Her entire body was practically covered in bandages, and she was surrounded by various medical equipment. Her pathetic, miserable sight sparked joy in my heart!
Just as I had known, Lily was no match for me! I would pay her back the pain she dealt me a hundred times over!
Suddenly, I heart a faint set of footsteps coming in from the corridor.
Hurriedly, I slipped away from the hospital without getting caught.
By the time I got back home, I saw that my mother was at home on her own.
She was watering the flowers right now.
Upon seeing me, she was surprised. "What a coincidence! Richard came to see you, but he just left. I lied to him and said that you've moved out."
"What was he doing here?" I asked, visibly confused.
"I'm not sure, either. By the way, where did you go?
"That's none of your business. Just do as I say." Ignoringher gaze, I went straight to the bathroom.
I turned on the shower, and soon, the cold water streamed down on me. It managed to calm me down a little.
This was just the beginning of my plans. I had to calm down and ensure that my next moves would be calculated and free of mistakes.
After showering, I felt refreshed.
I opened the bottom drawer of my dresser and took out a stack of photos. I had hired a private detective to follow Scarlett and Charles in secret and to take photos of them when they took their child to the zoo.
They looked so happy together, and normally, it was a heartwarming sight to see a happy family together. But to me, these photos were like knives, jabbing into my eyes and making me incomparably miserable.
"Argh! How come you get to be so happy, Scarlett? You don't even deserve it!" I growled. Then, I leafed through the photos one by one. And as I turned the photos faster and faster, my anger flared up.
Upon seeing the last picture, I was stupefied.
It was a picture of me and Charles back when we were younger. This specific picture looked ridiculous in comparison to the others. Bitterly, I laughed at myself as tears fell down my eyes and my nose twitched.
The girl in the photo was smiling brightly, while the boy looked awkward and reluctant.
Charles didn't want to take a picture with me, but he was so happy each time he took a photo with Scarlett.
"Why? Why?" I repeated the question through gritted teeth as though I had become mad. Then, I crumpled up Scarlett's photo into a ball.
I threw all the photos against the wall. And for a moment, the photos flew all over the room. Their smiles, the way they looked at each other, and how warmly they hugged each other appeared everywhere.
"Scarlett! Get the fuck out of my way! Charles is mine! He is mine!" I growled, desperately waving my hands to clear out the flying photos.
Soon, the photos scattered across the ground. Somehow, it looked as though Charles was staring at me and laughing.
As I fell to the ground on my knees, I covered my face and broke into tears.
Scarlett's POV:
"Scarlett!" I heard a vicious voice that sounded like it came from hell. When I looked back, I saw Rita charging towards me with a sinister smile on her face.
After tackling me to the ground, she began stabbing me with a knife like a madman.
