Melody
I'm the biggest fool.
How could they do this to me, to my mother? All she ever showed them was pure kindness.
I wanted to open my eyes, I wanted to scream, but I didn't have the strength to do so. My eyes wouldn't open, my mouth wouldn't move, my voice wouldn't come out.
" What about Lorenzo? What if he finds out about this? Can you imagine what he could do?" asked Camille. What about my father? My father doesn't care about me anyway.
" Let's just send him pictures like we usually do. He doesn't care anyway. As long as we give him proof that his daughter is alive and well."
" Are you really my daughter? How can you be so foolish! Melody will be 18 in three days. There will be a big celebration, everyone will be there." Camille.
" We could just tell them that Melody ran away with her lover because she didn't know how to handle her new position as the new heiress. And because of that, she entrusted all of her fortune to us. Everyone will believe that she is a useless fool anyway." Nancy.
" Great, and how do we make everyone accept your make-believe story?" Camille became interested in her daughter's evil plans.
"Don't worry mom, I could write a letter pretending to be Melody saying that she doesn't want to be the heiress.Then I will make a fake will saying that she will give all of her riches to us. You know that I can copy her handwriting easily. I also know where the family seal is being kept. Of course, we need her thumb print to make it more legit." Nancy explained like a beauty influencer numerating the steps of her morning skin routine.
" Oh, did I forget to tell you that I had already prepared the necessary documents for the wealth transfer? Silly me, I'm so excited. Before we totally get rid of her, we need her thumb print on the papers." I felt someone near me, it must be Nancy because of her familliar scent. She raised my right thumb. No! I want to protest, I want to move my thumb away from her, I want to cry, but I am trapped inside a motionless body. I am angry at what they did to me, but more angry with myself. How could I let myself be tricked by them for so many years?
" Three days from now a big party will be held to celebrate our victory." Nancy added.
"Now, we need to make sure Melody Perez disappears and never comes back ever again!" hearing Nancy's words, I need to get out of here. It's not safe anymore, but what can I do? My body won't budge.
I felt Nancy combing my hair. " It will be painful but it will be fast. You don't have to suffer much longer, unlike your mother."
" Don't blame us, blame yourself for being ignorant and foolish." Camille added.
It was the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life. It felt like my skin was being pierced by thousands of needles. I could feel my internal organs boiling hot. My heart is beating so fast that I find it hard to catch my breath. I could hear the patient monitor beeping loud and fast. What did they do to me?
I want to open my eyes. I want to see if it's really them. I gathered my remaining strength to open my eyes.
And there I saw them. The mother and daughter flashed an evil grin as they stared at my demise. If I could just scratch their demonic faces.Those monsters.
In the midst of my life and death, I saw flashbacks of how I used to live my life. It just proved how pathetic and ignorant I can be.
I want everything to change. If I am given a chance to live my life all over again.
I swear I will never make the same mistake ever again.
I will make them feel 10 times more pathetic and hopeless, just like I am right now.
When we see each other again, I will make them wish that they had never met me.
I will destroy them!
