VENICE

Sharp slap resonated through the hall as Diandra clutched her botox puffed cheek against her wrinkled palm. She couldn't believe it, even after the stinging pain on her skin that this pathetic girl could dare raise her hand...... at Diandra Reuben.

"How..how dare you!!" Diandra's voice went loud by the last word as she glared at Misty Milton, who returned the old woman's glare with her own look of disgust.

Everything was going well since the last week according to Diandra, as Misty never went crazy with fears and tears after encountering her.

Hell... Misty even ignored all the taunts and appalling orders from Diandra without even blinking, but not once did Misty show any nervousness or weakness, which Diandra expected and wished to exploit.

But today, it was as if Misty went crazy.

"How dare you...How dare you" Misty clutched Diandra's arms tightly before pushing the old lady a few feets back.

"Where is your grandson???........call him, call Aron. Where has he hid my son!! Where is my son?" Misty yelled while staring at Diandra with a murderous look.

Misty reached Ray's school to collect him after finishing her shift, but what she got to hear from watchman and primary class incharge was that Ray voluntarily went out with his father and that too during the half day interval itself.

It had been six days since Aron Reuben gave her his ultimatum and since then it felt like he and his gang disappeared in thin air, but how could they let her live in peace!

So, who better than Diandra Reuben to torment her.

She couldn't decide who was more among toxic Aron and Diandra, as both gave each other tough competition in who could show more hell to Misty.

Misty did regret of informing Ray about his father on the day itself when she got to know of Diandra's arrival, because she knew how intrusive Diandra Reuben could get and Misty never wished for her Ray to get panicked by sudden interference of all these new relatives.

She was afraid of them taking command of disclosing anything to Ray and put him on spot.

Since that evening Ray just couldn't stop asking numerous questions about his dad and when would he get to meet Aron.
Ray's expressions showed a mixture of fear and excitement since he never had a Male figure in his life.

She tried calling Aron numerous times to try convey to him that she had agreed to let him meet with her son, just for Ray's sake, but his number was out of reach each damn time and Now this!

"So!...what's the issue if my great grandchild is with his own father?" Diandra spit out still vary of Misty's volatile stature.

"Just wait and watch. I would alter my name if you don't face results of daring to hit me" Diandra further warned making Misty's mind to go more berserk.

"So what! What would you do?
Get me fired!
Or get your men to assassinate me!
Go on do it all, I dare you ....but remember that I would go to any extent for my son and that includes every damn means...even if I have to drag each of you on the streets. " Misty shot out before rushing out of the suite.

Her face was already red due to all the crying and it was already going to get dark. Even the mere thought of them snatching Ray away from her was cutting heart into pieces.
