The next morning, Rhea woke up early for her morning routine. Valet was right by her side.
'You look really happy this morning '.
'Yeah. Can't wait to see the look on some people's face'.
Rhea said and Valet smiled.
'Wow, you're up so early '. Aaron also joined them but Rhea ignored him and left to go jogging. It was then that Aaron realized what had happened.
'I better go meet her '. He said and ran after her.
While all these was going on, someone was watching them secretly.
'Isabelle, wait up'.
'I don't want to talk to you '.
'I know that '.
'Then why are you following me? '.
'We need to talk. I'm sorry for my behavior. I caused you to get hurt. Listen, I never doubted you for even a minute. I was just angry at Felix. I knew he didn't tell you all that just because he meant it but it's hurting his pride that I finally have someone important in my life. He's trying to take what's mine, again.'
'Again?'.
'Yeah'.
'Again? What do you mean by that?'
'Isabelle, you must have wondered why Felix's parents call me their son'.
'Yeah, I did. I just didn't want to ask you because you always seem to get agitated whenever they're around you'.
'Well, the thing is...
Aaron didn't get to finish talking when Rhea's phone rang.
'Who is this?' Rhea picked it up.
'Hello? Who's this?
'Isabelle!! You've crossed all limits with this'.
'Oh, miss Ava. What are you talking about now? Is it my fault that your darling husband decided to give me thirty percent of what's truly mine?!'.
'Oh don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, you know I'm not talking about the shares'.
'Huh? What else are you talking about then?'.
'You…..you really don't know?'.
'What am I supposed to know?'
'Wasn't it you who put my son in-law on the headlines?!'
'What headlines? Hold on let me check'.
Rhea collected Aaron's phone to check and finally understood what Ava was saying.
'Wow, explosive news'.
'What do you mean by that? It was you right?'
'So what?'
'Well guess what? I'll make sure you pay for it'
'Hearing how angry you are right now, it seems that Anna is there with you. She's probably with some random man whom she thought was Aaron, am I right?'
'How did you?....wait...did you also do that? You!....
'Don't be so hyper. I'm sure that's the only reason you were angry. Because I sabotaged you and your daughter's evil plans'.
'How did you find out? How are you alive? You clearly fell from the terrace'.
'Well I did, but I suddenly grew wings'.
'Stop messing around, wait till I tell everyone about what you did to your own sister!'
'Sister! Did you just say Sister? A sister who wants to take everything from me is not my sister, she's my enemy!'
'Everyone will know about this!'
'Hold on. Before you tell everyone why don't I also tell you something. You know what? I'll send it to you'.
Rhea sent some photos to Ava and when she saw it, she was shocked. She showed it to Anna and she lost control.
'Isabelle, you wench! I'll never forgive you for this!'.
Ava quickly consoled her daughter.
'Calm down Anna'.
Rhea chuckled.
'Where did you get this from Isabelle?'
'You don't need to know that. Oh, I also have the full video if you want'.
'You!...
'Alright, this is boring. I have other things to do'.
'Wait, what do you want in exchange for those pictures. Delete them'.
'Now you're talking. If you plan to tell everyone what I did then…..
'I won't'.
'Oh stop it, I'm not dumb. I know you're recording our conversation but it's useless, honestly'
'Tell me what you want'
'I don't know yet. I'll tell you when I'm ready'.
'What?'
'For now, why don't I help you'.
'Help me?'
'Not you, your daughter'
'What help?'
'Since both your daughter and son in-law cheated on themselves. Why don't I offer you a solution for the problem'.
'We don't need your solution'.
'I think you do. Listen, since your son in-law's scandal is all over the internet, everyone knows about it. But nobody except me and you knows about your daughter's cheating'.
'So?'
'I suggest you keep it a secret'.
'Of course we will'.
'So, I suggest that if you still want your daughter to get married into a rich family, I suggest you let her accept Felix'.
'What? He cheated on my daughter!'
'Your daughter also cheated on him right?'. Ava became quiet.
'I've given you a good idea, think about it'. Rhea hung up.
'Why did you tell them that?'.
'To make the matters worse of course'
'But how'.
'Just wait and see'.
'What will you ask for?'.
'I'll think about that later'.
'Have you forgiven me then?'.
'I don't know. Let me jog in peace'.
'You've forgiven me right? That's why you're talking to me'.
'You were saying something earlier'.
'I forgot'.
'What? We were talking about you and your.....
'Let's continue with our exercise Isabelle. Don't stress yourself on these unimportant matters. You have a lot on your mind now'.
Aaron successfully changed the topic.
*Did he just avoided the topic? But why? He was going to tell me*
*I can't trouble Isabelle with my issues, she still has a lot to do*
Ivy watched from a corner as Aaron and Rhea did their exercise together. She felt jealous and bitter. Greta and Marco slowly patted her back.
'The boss didn't even notice my existence all this while. He is too busy with his wife'.
'Ivy, don't be sad. We can't do anything about it now'.
'No! I won't stand for all these. We have to get rid of her'.
'What?! How do we do that? If the boss finds out, we'll all be dead'.
'He won't find out'.
'But how do we get rid of her?'.
Ivy thought for a while and came up with a malicious plan.
'I've got it'.
'So? What have you thought of?'.
'The festival. The annual festival, we'll get rid of her then'.
'I like your plan'.
*** LIAM'S MANSION
Liam sat down on a couch while hugging a woman. He had been out of control ever since Sofia went for her surgery. He brought different type of women back home but Agatha had been sure to tell all these to her madam.
Liam looked around for a maid but nobody was there. He rang a bell and Agatha came running.
'Get her some fruits'.
'Sir, we ran out'.
'Then go and get more!'
'Sure sir'. Agatha went out to get some more fruit but then a car stopped in front of the mansion. She looked curiously as someone got out of the car. Agatha was surprised.
'Madam?'.
'I'm back!'.
