Obscured Possession

Chapter 8

(Helena's POV)

"Wakey wakey, b***h!" The she-devil grinned and poured the bucket of ice-cold water to my sleeping mother.

My mother's eyes flew open as she jerked awake. "Mmmmm mmm?" She looked at the woman with wild eyes. She spat the rag out of her mouth and moved closer to me, shivering and bone cold.

"W-who are you?" She asked Vienna.

Vienna the b***h smirked. "Your greatest nightmare."

"I don't even know you! Who are you? Why did you kidnap me and my daughter?" My mum fired out, glaring at the woman.

"Who am I? We have met a few years ago, Emma Tomlin. Don't tell me you have forgotten this beautiful face of mine." She sneered as she unlocked the cell and stepped inside, crinkling her nose with disgust.

"What-"

"We met at the Blackthorn Residences. I am the one who was supposed to marry Josef but you came like a stupid and oh-so-innocent Disney princess and stole my prince from me!"

"Y-you were his fiance?" my mom's eyes widened. "But that was a long time ago! Don't tell me you still haven't moved on?"

"Long time ago! b***h, the last time I slept with your husband was a little over two weeks ago." She laughed like a maniac.

"What are you trying to tell me?" My mother's eyes darkened with rage.

"That I was with Josef during those days that he needs someone. I was with him during those five years that you weren't there. I was the one who took care of him and nursed him back to health when he lost his memories, I gave him his manly needs. I was like a real wife to him. I was even so close to marrying him if he didn't retrieve his memories. I would have had all his money if it weren't for you and your stupid daughter. I would have been the one whom he would be asking to live on his beach house instead of you, you b***h!"

My breathing hitched and I felt myself losing my calm. I couldn't control myself anymore, so I screamed out loud. "So, you are basically telling us that you hid my dad from us. We thought he ran away, then, we were told he was murdered. We were devastated because we thought we lost him but all these years, you were just hiding him and taking advantage of his amnesia? And you were just doing all of these because of your ambitions and hunger for luxury? How selfish can you get?" I spat angrily. I would have slapped her hard if it weren't for the ropes that bind me. "Don't you dare call me and my mother a b***h because we are far from being one, you w***e! Why don't you free us from our binds and fight like a real woman instead?" I taunted her, silently praying that this would work.

"Don't you try to smart mouth me, young lady. You know nothing."

"Oh really?" I smirked. "What else do I need to know?"

"Your mother is a w***e because she stole Josef from me, he was supposed to marry me!" She suddenly sobbed, mascara and eyeliner running down her face.

"I already know that story." I gritted my teeth and looked at my mother. She looked back at me with a wary expression on her face.

"But you don't know how much sacrifice I did just to be at the top."

"Then, tell me!"

"Why do you want to know? You are such a nosy brat!" She shouted "You don't know how painful it was to look like a perfect person in front of Josef's parents even though I have a bad reputation as a celebrity. I blamed it all to the press and management, of course. I told them that the abortion and drug rumors were not true, and they actually believed me because his dad was my godfather and I can't do anything wrong in their eyes. I even acted like I really care for them and comforted them when Josef ran away with your w***e of a mother! I looked so brokenhearted that they even promised me that they will give me a huge sum of inheritance because my dad's company is starting to fall under my supervision. I was the perfect daughter they never had. A few years later, I even volunteered myself to nurse Josef back to health when he came back stumbling to his parent's home, claiming that he can't remember the past 18 years of his life. How lucky can I get?! He can't even remember that he already has a family but he can remember me as his childhood friend. So I told him that I was his fiance, his parents welcomed him back with open arms and everything else is history. I have the money and I have the man of my dreams and you came into our lievs again and take everything away from me."

"I did not take anything from you. If there is one who tries to steal things and pretend it was hers is you. How dare you try to take advantage of my husband's state? How dare you try to claim something that is not yours? How dare you try to steal him away from his own family? If there is one here who is a thief, it is you, you gold digging bitch." My mother said darkly. "And I will kill you with my bare hands once I free myself from this bonds."

Vienna Haynes laughed and reached for something on her little read pouch, it was a small pistol. "That is... if I don't kill you and your daughter first." She pointed her gun towards my mother's direction.

My eyes widened when Vienna pulled the trigger and I instinctively covered my mother's body with mine to protect her.

"No!"

The last thing I remember is a strange burning pain on the upper part of my abdomen, and then, the peaceful darkness engulfed my senses...
