“Ashley? Mummy called out. My legs began to tremble, I couldn’t say anything as she walked closer.
She moved close to Myra and helped her up. “Sorry honey, are you hurt?” Myra shook her head and adjusted her dresses.
“It’s okay ma’am, it was an accidentally she never meant to hurt me. We are friends.” She lied. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. Friends? I just stood on the same spot watching them in awe.
Mummy cupped her cheeks and examined her face. “Are you sure you’re okay? Were you hurt in anywhere? Or have a cut? I’m really sorry for what she did to you.” Mummy pleaded. Students were staring, some were about to captured the event but I glared at them. That maniac and Adriana were watching. Myra caused all this… “Darn it! I cursed underneath.
“It’s all right ma’am, I’m fine.” Myra grinned as she caught a glimpse of me. I sent her an icy glare and huffed irritatedly.
“Okay, take care.” She mummy before walking toward me. I thought she’s going to hit me rather she murmured.
“Get in the car.” She seethed and sidled over the car. Her bodyguard opened the car door and she hopped in. I threw my car key at my driver and joined her in the car. She didn’t say anything throughout the long ride and I’m not ready to break the awkward silence.
The car I’m in came to halt in the mansion. Mummy alighted while I did the same. Blair rushed to us and handled her handbag. She headed inside and I tagged behind her with my head down.
“Follow me.” She muttered.
“Yeah… What?” I widened in shock. She pressed a button and the elevator slide opened, we walked in and it closed back.
I was scared as h.ell and her silence was killing me. I glanced up but her face was plain. The elevator slide opened and we walked out. She headed toward her room and I followed.
“Drop ’em on the couch and leave.” She said to Blair who bowed before ambled out as if she knew what has happened.
“Aye!
“What do you have to say for yourself?” She asked eventually. My voice was gone because how in hell would I tell her the truth even though I know she isn’t going to believe me. “I’m talking to young lady.” She yelled and I startled back in fear.
“Well, she… Started everything. Believe me Odette I never meant to hurt her. she just loves driving beyond her boundary.” Her eyes were still normal.
“Really? I saw everything. Don’t you dare lie to me Ashley.” Her eyes changed. My legs trembled as I scuffed back.
“Uh…huh, I’ve told her to stay away from me but she didn’t budge. She is just a btch that no one should get close to.”
“Really?”
“Yes she is and I hate her. Myra is… A aah! I gasped for air as I found it hard to breath, I struggled to breathe but I couldn’t. “Ode… Mum…mummy… Pl… Please.” I pleaded as tears streamed down my face. It’s painful, it was like I’m going to die anytime soon.
Daddy where are you? Please come save me or else she’s going to kill me. I prayed in my mind.
“Oh my goodness! Odette what are you doing?” Daddy yelled and rushed to me. Immediately Odette let go of me, I fell in his arms.
“Are you okay Ashley? Hey look at me, breathe… Just breathe.” He panicked when he saw how I struggled to breathe.
“It… I… Can’t.”
“A aah.” Weak, I inhaled deeply. He removed a strand of my hair from my face and helped me stand on my feet.
“Are you okay?” I nodded and looked at mummy but she wasn’t looking, probably trying to calm down.

“I’m okay Dad.” She said feebly and excused us.
I moved toward Odette, she was sitting on the bed with her head down.
“Can you explain what just happened? Do you want to kill my child?” I asked sternly.
“Your crazy daughter.” She mumbled and lifted her head, her eyes were red. “The one that hate friend and hurt anyone that comes near her. She hurt her classmate.” She inhaled deeply and her eyes changed to normal.
“What? But you shouldn’t have suffocated her. How could you be this reckless?”
“If I don’t she won’t learn her lesson.”
“And suffocating her is the only way to punish her? How could Odette?”
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t think straight. How can my child be like that, Ashley is wicked and that wasn’t how I raised her.” She stood and moved close. “I said I’m sorry. Uh…huh, are you still mad at me?” She cupped my cheeks and flashed a short smile.
“There many ways to punish her but suffocating is what I don’t like, don’t ever use your power on her. What if I didn’t show up would you be able to control your anger?” I scolded and she shook her head vigorously.
“Don’t be mad at me love, I’m sorry.” She embraced me. “You need to talk to her or else this history is still going to repeater itself.” “Well mine is to do something reckless, you’re control me.” She added.
“What if I didn’t show up? Aye! You never improve.”
“You can say that again.” She rolled her eyes. She removed my jacket and dropped it on the bed, then my shirt.
“Let me get a casual dress.” She whispered in my ear before heading toward the closet.

“Who’s that?” Ashley asked.
“Your Daddy.” I replied and the door opened. I walked inside. She was sitting on the bed hugged the bed with her hair down.
“Did you cry?” Her eyes were red as if she just cried. She sniffed back her tears and wiped the one on her face.
She nodded and I drew a stool close and sat before her. “Why?”
“Nothing.”
“Your mom told me everything, Ashley how could you do that to a friend?”
“I’m sorry Dad. But I know what I’m doing, it because I don’t want to hurt her that the reason why I didn’t want her near me. She’s not who mummy thinks she is.”
“What do you mean?” Puzzled, I asked.
“You are the only one that understand me so I shouldn’t keep anything away from you. Blair and Myra work for the same person. They’re not who you think they are.”
“Did you read their minds again?” I asked and she nodded.
“You can’t just read anyone’s mind without their permission. How many time do I have to tell you before you listen?”
“I can’t when I know what they’re planning to do to mummy. Well I’m not going to say anything and is not a must you believe me. I’m going to prove it that Blair is an imposter.”
“An imposter? Sometime I don’t understand you at all. Did Anel knew about all this?” They’re both crazy.
“Yeah and we are going to prove it. When I was reading Blair’s mind she made mention of two names.”
“What names?
“Ken… It’s Kennedy and Pedro while Myra was, Pedro.”
“Kennedy? How did you know that name?”
“When I was reading their minds. You believe me right?” I was about to replied when my phone rang.
? Hello
? Good day sir, I called to inform you that Miss Kennedy Richard has absconded from the prison.
The corp divulged over the phone.
? what?
“Dad what’s wrong?” Ashley inquired.
“I hung up and faced her.
“Dad what’s wrong?”

I alighted from the car and walked inside. The first person I saw was my dad.
“Dad? You’re back?” I’m so glad that I’m now in a casual dress. Haven’t told him anything about Diamond star.
“Are you just coming back from school?” He asked. I grinned before nodding.
“Yes dad.” I lied.
“You liar, how can you explain it? I called the principal and she told that you never attend the school. Why?”
“Huh? Wh…what?” I shuttered.
“So where are you coming from? And that backpack?”
“Oh Dad…” There’s no way this man’s going to give up. I have to do something about it. I started coughing, it was only thing I could come up with. I hit my chest gently and coughed again, shedding crocodile tears.
“Hey are you okay?” He asked worryingly.
“Uh…
“Someone should get me a cup of water now.” He ordered and patted my back. “Be careful.” A maid brought a glass of water and gulped it down. I didn’t stopped coughing.
“My… My drugs.”
“What are you talking about?” I could see how scared he was.
“In… In my… Room.”
“Where?”
“A ahh,” I moved away from him and headed to my room still coughing. He didn’t stop me as I faded away.
“Ah that was a close one.” I sighed and dropped my backpack on the bed.
I remembered about thepsycho lady, I couldn’t help but smile. She was afraid of that woman, when she saw her I could see how scared she was. She must be her mother, Ashley is just a young vision of her.
“She must be afraid of her mother.” I guessed. Someone knocked on the door. “Who’s that?”
“It’s me.” I heard his voice. Jeez! Dad again?
