A Night With My Boss

~Eva’s POV~

We drove into the Montero mansion, I parked the car and we walked to the door.

Some of the servants were already whispering but I ignored them because I knew why.

I rang the doorbell and a maid opened the door, her eyes shone when she saw me.

I met Liam and Kate in the living room, their facial expressions were mixed with anger and confusion.

“What are you doing here?!.” Liam angrily asked.

“And who’s she? Let me guess another toy that Skyler wants to use against my son.” Kate stated bitterly.

“I need to see Petra.” I ignored them.

“Why?, So you can pull out a gun and aim at her belly.” He frowned at me.

“Can you just let me see my sister?!.” I vented out and shock replaced it.

“Is this a joke? An accomplice of our enemy can’t be related to us.”

“I’m related to Petra, not you.” I glared at him.

“Petra!.” I called out.

It didn’t take long before I saw her coming downstairs slowly with Alex by her side supporting.

“Louisa.” She called out excitedly to the dismay of others.

“Eva, what are you doing here?.” Alex flashed me a glare.

“And why are you calling her Louisa?.” Liam’s situation was getting worse in the sense of confusion and disbelief.

I sighed, ” Eva is Skyler’s best friend, Louisa is Petra’s younger sister, I’m Eva and I’m also Louisa.”

The bombshell I dropped totally blew them all except Petra.

Alex’s attention drew to Emily, he squinted his eyes at her and then fear and shame flashed.

His eyes shone, he was startled, he looked around the house avoiding her.

“Alex, what’s wrong?.” Petra asked out of concern.

“The…. dead girl is here.”

“Wait, what?, I can see her too.” Petra said.

“You can…. that means she’s alive.” He finally summoned the courage.

“How come you are alive?.”

“Wow, what’s going to be the next shocking revelation, today?.” Liam sarcastically commented.

I rolled my eyes and ignored him, “Emily has been alive for a long time, your psycho ex has been keeping her so she can be her little toy.”

“There’s more to Skyler than you know it, trust me, I have seen it.” I commented.

“Emily, I don’t know if you will ever be able to forgive me… I swear, I wasn’t myself that night, the things I did, infact, I shouldn’t try to justify my actions or blame it on the alcohol, I ruined your life and I’m sorry.” He sincerely apologised and she flashed him a smile.

“You are forgiven.”

“You didn’t actually ruin her life, Skyler did, she watched you that night but nothing, she waited for the perfect opportunity to strike and now that she has, it’s our turn to strike as well.”

“Wait, how were you able to bring Emily?.”

“Skyler is out of town so I decided to make good use of this opportunity, she isn’t aware that I’m doing this.”

“Why are you even betraying her? Isn’t she your best friend?.”

“She was…. until she chose to be overprotective and kill my boyfriend!…. even though he was abusive.”

“Well, she did that for a good cause.”

“I never asked her too and she tried to do the same thing. Guys stopped trying to date me because of my psychotic friend. I wonder how Alex was able to cope with her, I hate her, she’s such a horrible person… she takes revenge too far.”

“Well, you are the good one in the friendship, why didn’t you change her?.”

“Please, trust me, I did but you can’t, she’s possessed with evil.”

“We have to plan very fast, she still thinks she can use Emily to keep blackmailing me so we are going to play along, set her up and then get evidence that will take her to jail.” Alex stated excitedly.

“Woah… calm your horses, it’s not that easy, you can never know her next move, I’m the one who’s going to handle the situation, you will do exactly what she wants, we can’t raise any form of suspicion, if not, Emily might be the one to bear the consequences.”

Emily’s countenance changed to that of fear, “What if?, We keep Emily here for safety and let Skyler know that she’s already bursted.” Petra suggested.

“Or we let the Police catch her in the act of almost murdering someone, trust me, she will surely come for Emily and I when she finds out that I betrayed her, we will keep a secret camera to watch on Emily, immediately, we notice any form of threat to life, we will call the police.” I stated.

“Louisa, are you sure about this? If we are together in this house, she won’t be able to hurt us instead of going back. What if it goes wrong? What if she goes psychotic and tries to kill you?.” Petra asked out of fear.

“Don’t stress yourself, she won’t, she can only hurt me but she can’t kill me, I won’t let her.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“By the way, how will she find out?.” Liam inquired.

“That, I don’t know but we just keep playing along until she finds out.” I replied to him.

“I still think Emily should stay with us for safety.” Kate suggested.

I looked at Emily, “Will you feel comfortable if you go back alone to the apartment?.”

“I don’t think so.” She shook her head.

“Then, let her stay, I’m going to inform the police about this, there will be tight security, she won’t even be able to get passed.” Alex assured us.

“I hope so, she’s smart, I’m the only one who will face her, I have unfinished scores to settle with her after all.”

“Shouldn’t I get my stuff?.” Emily asked.

“No, it’s too risky, the guards must be suspicious that you aren’t back yet and they will become even more suspicious when they see me packing your things so Alex will handle your clothing.” I flashed him a smile and he mirrored it.

“By evening, when they notice she isn’t back, they will surely inform Skyler and who took her out of the house last.”

“She won’t come immediately, she will wait for a like a day or two to see if Emily is back before she strikes, if Emily supposedly comes back, she will question her, not forgetting to instigate fear into her before finally killing her but when, she doesn’t, she will come for me and that is exactly what I want.”

Petra’s POV

I wasn’t sure if I was to be happy that the object of blackmail is alive or the fact that my fiance has loved me and didn’t say those words out of free will, or to be sad and scared over the fact that Louisa was in danger, I didn’t want to let my sister leave, I wanted her to be around me, everybody was in serious danger but they didn’t know it.

I didn’t bother to speak up because they would tell me not to worry but no matter how hard I tried, I was panicking.

Skyler was definitely going to come for us, if I wasn’t in this state, I would have been strong but I can’t fight back.
