Katarina this time clenched her fist.
"So tell me Katarina, why? Why did you do it? Is it all because of Rawlf, his power, his influence?"
Veronica asked, making sure her voice doesn't sound as desperate. "Isn't this too early, Lady Cleopatra? Where's the fun in that?"
"It isn't. I don't know… maybe I wouldn't be able to hold myself back and kill you before you could even tell me the matter of years ago. Who knows."
Veronica replied in an amused tone.
"That's it. That's the proud tone. That's what you are! It's easy for me to talk to you when you're like this!," Katarina also replied in an equally amused tone.
Knowing that whoever showed her real furious emotion is the one that loses this round.
"You mean the woman who you harmed years ago but end up to be the same woman you couldn't even touch years later."
Katarina clenched her fist once again. She realized that no matter how calm she is, this whole reality is still the biggest slap in her life, ever.
"Do you know that there are two men watching us at the moment?" Veronica continued and seeing the changed in Katarina's expression, she chuckled,
"One, is the man you have always wanted but the same man who will never be yours and the second man, should I call him, the man who's been with you throughout those plans and yet, the same man you really didn't value much."
Katarina restrained a frown hearing Veronica's mocking laughter. "You! Here I go!"
Katarina started before she quickly attacked Veronica with her fist however, Veronica was quick to dodge sideways, Katarina frowned and distanced herself from Veronica.
"When I asked you earlier about treating this whole thing as that of a novel, you didn't agree but now..., You think I was after Rawlf? You really think that this novel will have me as the third party villain who is desperately after your man?!"
Katarina once again threw another punch but Veronica jumped smoothly to quickly avoid it.
Katarina frowned and pirouetted to change her direction. She intends to land a kick against Veronica's left leg, yet, Veronica once again smoothly jumps to another side!
It's like she's flying with her smooth and gracious movements!
"Why?, aren't you? My man is powerful, in fact, very powerful. Who wouldn't want him for themselves? So powerful that you and your family were quickly arrested. Easily"
Veronica stated in a proud tone, triggering Katarina's pride in herself and anger!
She was so angry that her pride was hurt and more because what the woman had said was the truth.
Realizing that she couldn't land neither a punch nor a kick against the woman, Katarina changed her tactic and stood calmly,
"You are so wrong then. The second man you just mentioned a while ago, although I really do not value him much but I keep my own principle, Lady Cleopatra. I may not have liked him much but witnessing how he helped me all those years, I took him as mine. But you know what my real plan is?"
Katarina made a long paused,
"Have Rawlf for myself and after he trusts me, I will definitely get rid of him." Veronica this time didn't hide her fury.
Seeing this, Katarina continued,
"Everything is going good you know, before you even enter the scene. You know what happened to Rawlf's previous women ? I got them all killed."
Veronica's face changed.
"You're shocked right? And now you realized why there were no other women popping your way to compete for Rawlf? Because lady, I already got rid of them. Rawlf didn't know because after he used those women, he couldn't care less and I took that as an opportunity to remove possible threat to my stake…. Except the crazy Tan lady because she's a useless pawn."
"No wonder I was confused because why would you pay me attention and harm me and my
family that year. It turns out that Miss Katarina is actually a very careful woman." Veronica replied calmly.
"Prevention is better than cure, lady,"
Katarina sharply gazed at Veronica.
"I was the best next to none choice for Rawlf, you know. I was supposed to be a match for him. Because if not me, no one else suits him better. You're actually also just another 'woman' of Rawlf. No hard feelings, honestly. Just the usual work. But I guess, it's my misfortune that I was lax with handling you."
Veronica heaves a sigh, everything is clear with her now and she's extremely furious.
"If you haven't returned back here, everything will still go as planned. Rawlf who knows nothing about you will end up being mine…..oh I mean his power and his influence, they could have been mine! Everything could have been easy without you. I can have Rawlf without forcing myself to him because eventually, he will pick me. After maybe having his trust, poisoning him slowly should have been easy work right? And after his death, naturally, everything he owns will be mine. The plan should be simple and effortless And yet, you came back and boom!, the
