Chapter 83&84
★ ★ ★ ★
Phil’s right leg gushed out blood. He hummed loudly and shook his whole body vehemently.
“Pay back time” Samantha chuckled, walking close to him.
“Wait,,,, Samantha-
“Lolly!” She said, quickly without looking back at her.
Scarlett sighed.
Samantha came close to Phil who glared at her. He was sweating profusely.
“Remember me,,, Mr Feel?” She asked, and he Gr0-ned loudly.
She raised the pistol up and hit his right eye with the bu-tt of the pistol.
“Samantha! Enough!! This makes you look, not less like him. I told you already, He’s gonna get arrested very soon” Scarlett ran to her.
Samantha turned to her. Her eyes were red.
“Mum!!!… This rapist took mum’s eyes!”
“Wha…What??”
Samantha sniffed, trying to hold the tears filling her red eyes.
“You heard me. You made him blind and he took mum’s eyes,,, just like that”
“Me?? Made him blind? Phil took mum’s eyes? How is that possible? It makes no se-nse!” Scarlett shook her head.
Samantha chuckled.
“Back then, If you can remember, you injured Phil’s eyes while bullying him. He lost his sight cause of it”
“I never tou-ched his ey- Scarlett paused. written by sommy pearl f.
She remembered now.
She remembered how she had grabbed the hu-ge stick, jumped on the hu-ge table, and made a mighty strike on Phil.
The stick had tou-ched the ceiling and the hu-ge florescent bulb which ended up breaking and splitting to pieces.
Phil who sat close to it, wasn’t so lucky. The pieces went down to him, after he fell to the ground, and most of them entered his eyes.
Scarlett also felt the sharp pieces pene-trate her on her back and arms that day.
“Wait,,, So,,, Mum…She- Scarlett paused and her eyes brou-ght out tears.
“Mum gave him, her eyes in exchange for your release”
“Is that why you said,, not to trust mum? It should be Phil! He shouldn’t be trusted!! He took her eyes. She wouldn’t have given him his eyes. I know that!”
“Mum willingly gave him! She should have trusted us,,, and thus,, shouldn’t have offered her eyes. I hated her for that and my thirst for vengeance got bigger. I left home cause of these reasons”
Scarlett wiped her eyes.
“I’m gonna hear mum’s side of the story. Why didn’t she say a word to me! She kept me in the dark”
Samantha only snickered.
“You can come in!” She shouted and the door opened.
3 hefty men came in.
“That’s him. Take him out” Samantha ordered and they nodded.
They walked to Phil, united him and bundled him.
Phil kept looking at Scarlett as he was being taken away. He shook his head while looking at her, with tears brimming in his eyes.
Scarlett looked away, and left, afterwards. written by sommy pearl f.
“The end” Samantha smiled and left too.
***
Oscar looked at his wrist watch and sighed heavily.
It was 6:20pm.
“I told her I would stay until 6pm. Why isn’t she coming? I can’t miss my flight” He muttered to himself.
He stood up and walked to the waiter.
“Please, clear my table. The person I was waiting for, didn’t make it” Oscar said, and the waiter bowed.
Oscar walked out and looked around.
“She really isn’t coming”
He stood there for 15 more minutes, before stopping a taxi which took him to the airport.
AIRPORT**
Oscar slowly walked to the airplane, dragging his luggage gently.
“Oscar!” He heard a voice.
He quickly turned around to see ha-rdin.
“ha-rdin? What are you doing here? You gonna miss me, are you?” He smiled.
ha-rdin smiled, and hu-gged him.
“Yeah… A lot. You not coming back, right?”
“Yeah” Oscar nodded, and broke the hu-g.
“Goodbye” Oscar said.
“Yeah. Goodbye” ha-rdin said, as he watched him leave.
“The end?” Oscar sighed and walked on the airplane stair case.
DYLAN’S HOME***
BEDROOM**
“Lesley?” Dylan called and she turned over.
“Is Ari asleep?”
“Yeah” She replied.
“So,,, you wanna tell me now? You wanna tell me what is happening and why you’re doing this? Why are you trying to kill Scarlett?” She asked.
“I’m gonna explain very soon once everything settles down” Dylan said.
“You keep saying that. I’m helping you, kill that girl slowly without knowing why”
“You’ll know why soon”
“I just hope so…” Lesley said.
“Ah,,, by the way,,, I gave her the drugs again”
“The ones I gave you, and asked you to give her when she comes?”
“Yes” Lesley nodded.
“The last one finished so she came for another and I gave it to her”
Dylan smiled.
“You’re the best, ever”
She smiled back.
Dylan hu-gged her, and cudd-led her in his arms.
She giggled and also held him close.
“I don’t wanna know you and Ari” He said.
“Me too” She replied.
Dylan looked at her face and kizzed her li-p, nibbling on it gently.
He took his li-ps away and Lesley slowly opened her eyes. She smiled at him and he cudd-led her more.
Ari who was there, with them, slowly opened her eyes. written by sommy pearl f.

“Mum!!” Scarlett shouted and went in.
“Baby lett?” Marie whispered, and switched off the cooker.
She was in the kitchen, preparing dinner.
“Don’t baby me!” Scarlett shouted, seeing her mother walk into the sitting room.
“What…What’s wrong?” Marie asked.
“What are you hiding from me!” Scarlett’s voice trembled and tears ran down her eyes.
“I…don’t un-derstand” Marie shook her head.
“What really happened years back?!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Your eyes!!! What happened to your eyes, really?! How did you suddenly get blind and don’t you feed me with those lies that, your eyes had problems and defects which led it”
“Scarlett, calm down,,, huh? Why are you bringing that up, now and out of the blue?”
“I can’t even trust you either? None of you? Talk about it now!!” Scarlett shook her head.
“If only you never bullied him!!!” Marie shouted, sitting down.
“Wait. Don’t tell me it’s true. You gave him your eyes. The rapist? The Mr Feel?” She asked.
There was de-ep silence.
“And what if I did. He never deserved it. All of what you did to him” Marie finally broke it.
“Don’t tell me that! He deserves all of it! He’s a Fu-cking rapist. He ra-ped Samantha, your daughter! My sister!!”
“He never ra-ped anyone! Nicey never ra-ped anyone”
“Gosh,,, who should I believe now? Whom should I give my trust to, now, huh!! By the way, Who’s Nicey? That word sounds familiar” She said.
“I call him Nicey. If you can remember, I once told you about him…”
“Hold on, I kinda remember” Scarlett muttered and memory came back.
MILD FLASHBACK**
BACKWARD TO CHAPTER 7&8**
“I’m off” Scarlett said.
“Hold on!” Marie gushed and ran to her.
“You are looking quite feisty today” Marie said, as she stood opposite Scarlett, dressing her bu-ttons properly and her ne-ck tie.
Scarlett chuckled lightly.
“Be a good girl okay? No bullying. Be good just like Nicey” Marie said.
“Nicey? Who’s Nicey?” Scarlett asked.
“Oh,,, He’s a new friend of mine. I met him at the stall that saturday and he helped a little girl. He’s really kind, good and nice. Since i didn’t get his name, I called him Nicey”
“Oh,,, I see” Scarlett whispered.
“Well, yeah. Have fun in school” She waved.
Scarlett only nodded and ran off.
“She looks quite not herself either. What’s she up to?” Marie thought, suspiciously.
END OF FLASHBACK**
I… don’t un-derstand. Who’s this nicey and what does he have to do with all this??” Scarlett asked.
Marie inhaled de-eply.
“Now just listen to my own pa-rt. I guess its time for the cat to be out of the bag. Its been years already” Marie said, softly.
Scarlett wiped her tears and sat close to her.
Marie turned her blind eyes to her and opened her mouth. She began to talk as the flashback came flooding back, like it happened just yesterday.
FLAHBACK, THAT SATURDAY**
Marie had gone to the stall that saturday. She happily smiled at the couple who just patronized her corn dog.
“Come next time” She waved at them, and they smiled before leaving.
“Ehhhhhhhh!! Ehhh!!” It was a crying sound, and it was quite loud.
“What’s that?” Marie muttered and walked out of the stall.
She saw a little girl, crying there. About 11 years old.
“Hey, girl. You alright? What’s wrong?” Marie asked, concerned, bending down. written by sommy pearl f.
“Leave me alone” The girl only cried the more.
Marie sighed.
“Talk to me, okay? I won’t hurt you. What’s your name? And why are you here alone, crying? What happened?”
“Leave me alone, ahjumma!!” She shouted, which made Marie shivered.
“Gosh. That was mean” Marie sighed and stood up.
She went back into her stall and heard a cool voice ask;
“Hey, little one? Why are you crying?”
“Another concerned fellow” Marie whispered, with a scoff.
She shook her head out to see a tall guy who happens to be a young adult.
He looks handsome and really young. He seems to be a high schooler, in his final year.
“He’s just wasting his time. He had better leave” Marie muttered, watching them.
