Her Sweet Revenge

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Lady Red

Asanel was in her room, crying heartily. She still couldn't believe her dad was gone. Her dad was really no more. Even when she saw his body, she didn't believe it.

The door opened and her mum walked in.

"Sweetheart.." Matilda called and Asanel wiped off her tears.

Matilda smiled sadly and sat beside her.

"I know how painful this is but it has happened, your dad is no more.." Matilda said and Asanel nodded with tears dropping from her eyes.

Her dad and her were not too close but they still sweet moments together. He would do all he could to fulfil her wishes.

"Mum, what's the result of the investigation?" Asanel asked.

"It was concluded that it's robbery. At that your dad passed by, armed robbers attacked him from nowhere. They took his car, phone and money. Everything he had on him but then they shot him to death.." Matilda explained and Asanel furrowed her brows.

"Since they got what they wanted. What was the need of killing him..." Asanel said in tears.

"It's planned. I'm very sure it's not an accident. The Madison's are involved in this. Moreover, your dad told me they had something to do with the rape case. He found evidence but it's all gone.." Matilda said with clenched fists.

"Asanel, I promise, I'll make them pay for it." Matilda said and hugged her daughter.

Jason groaned and sat up. He was not able to sleep. He picked up his phone again and checked it. She hasn't replied nor called back.

"Asanel.." He muttered and threw the phone on the bed.

The next day.

It was the wake of Daniel Anderson. While Matilda was attending to the well wishers, Asanel was in her room.

Well, she had no one to attend to. She had no friends even in school aside Jason. They never wanted to be friends with her and she didn't force it.

"If the Madison's were really involved in her dad's death, then she's going to help her mum find the evidence they need and bring to law. Wait, does it mean that Jason is also involved?" She asked herself. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"No, it's can't be. For the past six months, Jason has been a very good friend. I know he knows nothing.." She told herself and smiled.

Suddenly she heard her mum's voice yelling

"What are you doing here? You evil creatures?"

Asanel immediately wore her flip flops and ran downstairs. She gasped when she saw the governor and his wife. Even Jason was with them.

He smiled when he saw her.

"I asked a question, what are you doing here?" Matilda asked, trying to maintain her cool.

James smiled and removed his sunglasses.

"We are here to pay our condolences. We know the great work your family has done for this city. You and your husband help us in reducing the crime rate in the state and I'm very much grateful.."

Matilda scoffed immediately he said that.

Jason quickly sneaked away from them and ran to Asanel. He grabbed her hand and forcefully dragged her outside using the back door.

"That's why we decided to come in person and pay our respects to you.." Lauren added with a smile and Matilda scoffed again and moved closer to them.

"I know you guys are responsible for my husband's death and you are also involved with rape case, I know everything about you. And I promise to dig out your secret and show the world who you really are.." Matilda said angrily.

Lauren smiled.

"We have no idea of what you are talking about and what you are doing now is slander..." Lauren said.

"I don't care. Get out of here!" Maltida told them coldly and James sig

hed.

"Since you don't want us here, we will leave.." James said and walked away.

"Let me go!" Asanel yelled and hijacked her hand from his.

"Why are you here?" Asanel asked him and he scoffed.

"Did you really need to ask that? You refused to pick my calls and I understand that but why are you so cold?"

"I told what happened the other night was not your fault. You are not che.."

"It's not about what happened yesterday. It's about your parents and the fact that they had a hand in my dad's death.."

Jason looked at her surprised and then he scoffed.

"What are you saying?"

"Do you have any idea of what you are saying? You're calling my parents murderer!" Jason snapped at her and she smiled.

"They are. They killed my dad.." Asanel said. Jason sighed and then held her hands.

"I know you are angry but just think rationally. We promised that we would forget about the feud between her families right. Let's just stop this talk and focus on us!" He smiled but Asanel removed her hands from his.

"I can't. Anytime I see you, I will always remember my dad died because of your parents.."

Jason moved backwards immediately. The look on his face replaced with a cold look.

"Great job. You did a great job Asanel. Thank you for breaking my heart.." Jason said and walked away even before she could say anything. Asanel sighed and tears dropped from her eyes.

Meanwhile Lauren stood by the corner. She heard everything. Lauren smirked as she watched Jason get into the car.

"I can now finally send you off with this.." She muttered.

MADISON'S MANSION.

Master's bedroom.

Lauren walked into the room and met James on his laptop. She sighed.

"Honey, I need to talk to you about something.." She said and James looked st her.

"What do you think about sending Jason overseas to further his education there.." Lauren smiled and sat on the bed.

James sighed.

"I actually thought of that but I don't want to be separated from my son. I know he still resents me for his mum's death. I want to make it up to him.." James said.

"You can hon. But don't you think sending him abroad is a good thing. I found out that he had a relationship with Asanel. We can't let him stay here, if we plan to deal with that family.." Lauren said.

James nodded.

"You are right.."

"I'll ask them to prepare his flight to go to the states tomorrow.."

"You won't even ask for his opinion?" Lauren asked.

"My opinion is his opinion. He wouldn't refuse me.." James said and Lauren smirked.

Unknown.

She sat on the swivel chair and then took the glasscup of wine, then she took to her lips and sipped from it.

The door suddenly opened and a young man in a suit hurriedly walked in. He bowed slightly.

"What's it?"

"Lady red, Daniel Anderson is dead. He was killed by armed robbers.." He said and she chuckled and turned to face him.

"Do you honestly believe that? Armed robbers?" She scoffed and then dropped the glass of wine on the table.

"Daniel was so stupid. If he had wanted to bring them down. He shouldn't do so with the law. The law is useless. And moreover, they have an upper hand with it.."

"The Madison's are much more powerful than he thinks and I'm sure they are going for his wife next.." She said and stood up.

"Do you want to step in now?" He asked and she shook her head.

"Not yet, I want to see what scheme Matilda has, up her sleeves. Then i will be sure to help her.." She smiled revealing her beautiful teeth.
