Chapter 5

**EMILY'S POV**

So it turns out that my mom is serious about sending me away once I graduate from college. I overheard her talking to Olivia on the phone, they were face timing. And I found out it was Olivia who suggested that.

My mom told her about her plans to marry me off to Mr. Clinton and I nearly threw up.

**FLASHBACK**

I had a long day today, we didn't have much to do in college so I just decided to go to work earlier than usual. It was a better idea than staying home alone with my thoughts. I needed the distraction.

I was making my way to my room when I heard my name. It came from my mom's room, she was on the phone and her door was only closed halfway so I decided to eavesdrop. I can't help it, I'm a really curious person. She was on a video call with my sister.

"You know, I didn't think of that. I thought it was better to keep her at arm's length but she's just a little nuisance. I can't wait for her to be gone from here." My mom said with so much hatred. It made me wonder if I ever did something to offend her for her to hate me this much.

"I know, it's why I told you to send her away in the first place. But you being the kind-hearted person you are, you just gave her time." Olivia huffed. This bitch, I should have known this was her idea.

"I just don't want people to think I'm a bad mom, Mr. Clinton has been asking me to let him marry her. I was kind of considering the offer."

What? No way in hell am I marrying that stinky old man. The guy already has 3 wives and I can't even count how many side chicks he has. Some of his kids are even older than me. Hell no, I'd rather marry a pig than marry that man.

"Mom, you can't do that. He's too good for her." Even though I hate how she said it, I'm still grateful.

"The man looks like he's probably gonna die any moment. So she deserves that at least." My mom spoke. What is wrong with these people?

"You probably don't know this but he's been on my case for a while now, I have him wrapped around my fingers. He does everything I ask because he thinks I'm pretty. But think about what would happen if he married Emily." Olivia whines. But I think what she meant was he's her sugar daddy. I can't believe she's sleeping with him, gross.

"I don't understand baby, what would happen?" My mom asked cluelessly. Even I was eager to know what would happen.

"She's pretty mom, we can't keep denying that fact. If he marries her, she'll manipulate him into giving her all his wealth. And I'll just be forgotten. If she should marry anyone then it has to be someone of a much lower status."

Seriously, how horrible can my sister be? But hold on did she just confess that I was pretty?

"I guess you're right, but you better not let that man anywhere near you. You know what I mean. Just let him keep chasing after you." My mom suggested.

"As for Emily, I'll find her a match so she can be out of our lives for good. It's either she finds herself a husband and leaves my house or I find one myself." Oh no, I can't let that happen.

"I doubt anyone would want to marry her. So you have to start looking. We just need to have a good reason for her to leave us. That way people won't talk." They both started laughing, I swear you could see horns poking out of their heads like the demons they are.

**PRESENT DAY**

It's been 3 days since I overheard the evil conversation between my mom and sister. Honestly, my first thought was to go over to Olivia's house and just murder her. It wouldn't be the first time by the way.

But I still love my sister so much, even my mom. I know it's stupid but always hope that things will go back to how they were before but that's just a silly fantasy. Nothing could ever make things normal, especially for me. Not after all the things I've done. Although I don't regret any of it, I know it was still wrong. To everyone, I'm just this little naive girl but that doesn't even measure up to what I am, a gruesome murder.

What do you expect from a girl who has been hurt in so many ways?

When I was 16 years old, I was kidnapped on my way back from school. I woke up to find myself in a white room, 4 men came in and they tried to hurt me but I noticed I wasn't the only one tied up. There was a girl who was around my age as well. She looked so scared. The kidnapper left to talk to someone over the phone.

I talked with the girl who I discovered name was Julie, she told me she saw me getting kidnapped and tried to call for help but someone hit her head and she passed out but before she lost consciousness completely, she saw that it was a girl who hit her.

We managed to untie each other but then 2 of the men came back in and they grabbed Julie since she was standing. They told us their boss asked them to have a little fun with us and then let us go. I also noticed that they had set up a camera there as well. They were going to film the whole thing.

They took Julie to the bed and she just kept struggling. I picked up the chair and smashed it on one of the men's heads but that caused the other one to turn his attention to me. I panicked and the chair was already broken, before the man reached me I picked up a piece of the wooden chair and pierced it through his heart.

He dropped dead and I saw the other one was regaining consciousness so I did the same thing to him. I heard someone gasp and that's when I saw Julie staring at me with wide eyes. I also couldn't believe what I did.

I quickly destroyed the camera and I was so confused. I held Julie's hands and dragged her out with me because I knew she was still in shock, and so was I but we had to leave.

On our way out, I saw one of the men, I had forgotten about the other two. We were already outside and I happened to see a car there, it was unlocked. We got in but the man was still chasing us, I reversed the car and ran him over. I ran him over three times before I got out to check if he was still alive.

Julie threw up as soon as she saw his body but I wasn't shaken. The only thing on my mind was the fact that I had just killed three men in one day. I was scared someone would find out and I'd be in trouble so I set the house and the car on fire. I didn't leave any evidence behind. But I heard a scream from inside and figured it was the 4th man but I had already locked the door so I just left him there. Luckily the house was close to a forest.

When Julie and I reached the streets, I managed to convince her not to say a word but the poor girl was so terrified she passed out. I took her to a hospital and left we didn't know each other and I never told her my name. I thought I was going to be okay and just go back to normal but I've been traumatized since then, I can't sleep without the memory haunting me. I only sleep peacefully when I take sleeping pills. I know I need to talk to someone about it but I'm too scared to say anything, even to Kyle.

But till today, I still wonder who the girl was that hit Julie. I never got to ask her how she looked. But one thing is certain, someone else probably had some evil intentions towards me.
