Gia's POV
"You know all you need to do is apologize"
"Apologize for what exactly "
"Gia, I know it isn't going well for you. You got married to him because he didn't want to be embarrassed when I left him at the alter. He is in love with me. And I am sorry I pushed him to you but I want him back and I have realised how much I love him after doing a lot of self reflection "
This is torture. I didn't want to accept my sister's call when she called out of the whim yesterday night during the party. But I knew she hasn't done the unthinkable yet. She still thinks I think she got scared that was why she didn't say anything about the lie in front of our parents.
How come I didn't know how brazen she was before. She always talked likes this but I always thought in my mind, it was because she was outspoken and didn't have the filter and said what she had to say. I even admired that fact about her. Now I am seeing how much of a snake she is and how brazen and entitled she thinks she is.
"And what gave you the impression that he is in love with you?"
I asked her keeping my eyes pointed at her. A playful smirk on my lips.
"Sis, I know you have always wanted go fall in love and get married and besides you won't say no to me. Will you sissy?" Her smile at the end giving shivers. The smile like a cake made with knives.
I sipped my milkshake, because I can't be bothered with coffee today.
"I think we are done for today. I have things to do and a husband waiting for me." I stood up. Taking my tiny Chanel– I love tiny bags–my phone and my jacket.
"This was almost nice. Let's do this again sometime. This time please learn to keep your entitled mouth from my husband's name. Bye"
I was starting to leave when she called out.
"Mom and Dad misses you" and I just laughed. I laughed and laughed as hard as I could. That was the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard in my life. That is the most impossible thing in the world. Mom and dad missing me. Her face twisted at the realisation of the words she spewed out of her mouth.
I know how they are. They are controlling and manipulative and anything that doesn't fit into their perfect lives is nothing but dirt. I know how much I tried to fit into it but was still treated like dirt. And that thought got me angry.
"That was funny. I didn't know you were into comedy sissy" I laughed some more and checked the time.
Her eyes turned to slits as sharp as knives. Ready to slice me into a million pieces. Yes... Get angry. Show your true self and I won't feel guilty about wanting revenge.
"Listen. I know you don't believe me but know that they miss you. They want to talk to you and even apologize. Maybe even let you see Bryan now,"
As if it was rehearsed my phone dinged and it was from my mother, asking to meet for dinner and go bring my husband. That was all. No context just that order.
My mother rarely ever texts me or even talks to me. She always does everything to be in father's good graces. I have always seen her as father's shadow since she was always behind him no matter what the matter is. And for the first time in years she texts me to bring my husband for what...dinner?
I just ignored the message and left the cafe without even bidding my sister goodbye. And that was a mistake. The saying never turn your back on your enemies until you are a thousand percent sure they are gone isn't true until now. Because one moment I was standing and the next I was face first on the floor. My nose hurting badly.
I looked back and saw a man grinning at me from above me. I managed to turn but my head hurts badly. It was the first time I noticed the shop completely empty ....save for the three of us. My heart rate increased. I made a mistake. I should have known not to trust her.
"You bitch. You are just begging to be killed aren't you. After everything I have done for you. You conspired against me to steal my fiance." She started her monologue. Just like that day and fear gripped me harder. I should know this wasn't just my sister anymore. Not when she killed me once.
"Granted I was shortsighted to see that he was the most powerful man in the world. I admit it ...you outsmarted me" she brought out a knife from her purse. No I won't die again "But it won't happen again".
She raised the knife and plunged it into the air straight to me but I was faster
I rolled out of there and tried to stand but my eyes spun and I was soon back on the floor. This time with a strong hand holding me strong on the floor. I tried to break free.
"Goodbye sis. You were my favourite sibling. I almost loved you"
She brought the knife down hard on my chest and at first it went numb. I won't die.
Not today. Adrenaline pumped my veins and when the Man's strong hold on me loosened. I elbowed him and broke free and ran straight to the door. And just when I wanted to run. The door opened up, when I saw him relief spread through me.
"Dominic" I whispered before I fell on him, the adrenaline in my veins vanishing immediately I saw him and everything went dark, with a smile on my face. He is here now. He will take care of everything for me. I trust him.
