Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Murder
The door opened, Allegra was surprised at who walked in.
"Daddy?"
"What's it?"
"I need your help in finding Kaya."
"I can't help you. And why should I?"
"How many times do I have to say it? Kaya and Arya are your daughters no matter how hard you try to deny it. I've never cheated on you. Lena is my sister and Jaxon is my friend."
'Lena? That's my Mom's name '
"If Mrs. Lim is Daddy's wife, that makes her 'Mom' and Arya my sister?!" Allegra yell.
Mrs. Lim and Mr. Kumi stopped talking when they heard the sound. "Who's there? Show yourself!"
"Aish!" Yuka glared at Allegra. She snapped her fingers and they teleported.
Mr. Kumi's face stiffened. "Allegra?"
"You think it's Allegra?"
"Not think. It is he. But Allegra isn't like us, so how?"
Mrs. Lim clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Great! Now she knows!"
.....
Nevaeh stood beside the stairs, waiting for Chaya. She smirked as she sees her. "Hey Nerd! Come over!"
"What do you want?" Chaya asked as she strode towards her.
"You didn't tell her, did you? Well... that's fine with me. Can I see what's in your bag?" Her eyes glinted with evil intent.
"What?"
Nevaeh forcibly tried to take the bag.
"Give it back!!" They continued to drag the bag. Nevaeh secretly smirked and let go of the bag. Immediately, she fell and rolled down the stairs. The guests were shock to witness what happened.
Chaya's face turned pale as she tightened her grip on the bag. As she couldn't control her strength, she injured her palm.
Nevaeh sobs as Keva tries to console her.
"Chaya!! What's wrong with you?!" Keva retorted.
"I...I.. didn't do it..." Her voice tremble.
"What happened?" Mrs. Lim asked.
"I..."Nevaeh mafr a vulnerable sad face. "Her bag fell and I...I wanted to help her but she got angry with me and the...then..." She nudged close to Keva as if seeking comfort for being bullied. "...she pushed me down the stairs."
Chaya's eyes widen. "She's lying. I..I didn't push her!!"
A cold glint flitted from Keva's eyes, her gaze turns cold. Though you two aren't in good terms, that doesn't give you the right to do this."
"I didn't! She fell on her own."
Mrs. Lim was furious and slapped her. "Can you hear yourself? How could you say that?! Instead of apologizing, you're accusing her? I've known her since she was seven and she'll never do this. Apologize to her right now!"
Chaya scoffs. "Are you sure of that? Apologize? Why? I didn't push her!!" Chaya became emotional.
Allegra and Yuka heard the commotion and ran to Chaya.
"What happened?" Yuka asked.
"Take me back. I don't wanna be here." Chaya strode out.
Yuka clenched her fist as she angrily glare at Nevaeh. Nevaeh shrank back noticing Yuka's glare, as if intimidated to her.
Allegra parted her lips and said to Yuka. "Let's go."
Yuka turned around in fury and they walked out.
"Get back here!!" Keke yell furiously.
"Stop it Keke. Aunt, I'll take Nevaeh to my room."
"Sure." Mrs. Lim smiles.
Keva slightly pushed Nevaeh as she stood up. "Come with me."
....
Keva's Room
"Why did you do that?"
"Do what?" Nevaeh feigned innocence but it only angered Keva the more.
"YAH!! I saw what happened there! What if you did die and she gets arrested for murder?"
"Oh please." Nevaeh rolled her eyes. "As if you're better."
Keva was immediately enraged and yelled at her loudly. "GET OUT!!"
"What?!" Nevaeh asked, her brows knitted in shock.
"You heard me!!"
"K.. Keva don't do this. Nevaeh didn't mean it. She won't do it next time."
Facing Keke in anger, she said loudly and disdainfully. "Next time? There's even a next time?"
"Keke, let's go. We did nothing wrong." They leaves the room, leaving the door opened.
Keva walked to the door and slammed it. BANG!!
"Uurrgh!!" She screamed in frustration, she was wrecking havoc in her room and breaking things.
....
Outside The Door.
"Do you think she'll be alright?" Rhema asked Arya.
"How is that our business? She brought it upon herself. I'll go talk to 'her' Mom."
