LADY KIRAH'S REVENGE

Part 12

CHAPTER 12

"You'd better bring some good news!" I yelled at the person on the other end of the phone line.

[Come on, honey. Relax. He will meet his end early because he dares to do that to you!] The godmother spoke up.

Hearing the lady's shamelessness, I scoffed and replied, "that better be the case, and remember, I need the harsh penalty for that man."

[I will not forget. Now, how about we talk about something else?] she asked, her tone trembling.

'That shameless woman! What is she up to this time?'

"What would you like to discuss?"

[Um, please tell me about your dreams. What did you want to do with your life before all of this?]

When I heard this, I went completely silent. I simply did not expect to hear such a question; after all, it had been far too long since I had even asked myself such a question. Being asked this so abruptly surprised me.

"My dreams! To be honest, I'm not sure. All I know is that I need to make Mike and his wife suffer and repent for all of their evil deeds that have harmed innocent people. So, if I look at it through this lens, I can say that my dream was to become an avenger, but on another level, I need to think about it more," I responded, completely unsure of my response.

I guess I still need a long time to find myself and pursue exactly what I want in life, and I'm sure the opportunity to do so is right around the corner.

The godmother did not respond immediately after I finished but instead remained silent for about twenty seconds before responding, [don't worry. It makes no difference what kind of dream it is. As long as I am by your side, I will make you realize whatever it is. I'll give you the moon and stars if you want them. I'd do anything to see you smile, darling!]

Hearing my pursuer's firm promise, I couldn't help but blush.

Badum

Badum.

My heart was racing like crazy; my heart was beating like crazy, and butterflies that I hadn't felt in a long time suddenly visited me.

As this rush of emotions overwhelmed me, I concluded, 'I fell for another girl yet again!'

But who was responsible for this? No one.

I didn't manage the first time, and I wasn't allowed to pursue my love, but this time the doors have been opened once more. This was like a huge sign from the heavens to me.

'Be with her, allow her to pamper you, and allow her to become your home.'

This was the mantra that kept repeating in my head at the time. Although I used to dismiss her confession as a joke and didn't give it much thought because my heart was filled with my beloved, who Mike and Gertrude had taken away from me six years before, I couldn't do it any longer.

'I need to get on with my life and start thinking for myself.'

"You promised umph. Don't change your mind!" After a moment of hesitation, I said shyly, eliciting heartfelt laughter from the other side.

I spoke with the godmother for another thirty minutes before the phone call was disconnected.

My heart was racing like crazy when the call ended, and it was confirmed that she had slowly crept her way into my heart, and there was no way for me to rewind and make everything go back.

'I'm screwed!'

I didn't know when Mike would be dealt with, but I sincerely hoped it would be soon. Since I had confirmed my feelings for the godmother, I felt compelled to visit her and spend time with her as soon as possible.

The future was not going to be easy, but at least I will face whatever challenges come my way or ours together and with someone else by my side.

I would have sought help from others sooner if I had known it would make things better and go more smoothly. I wouldn't have spent so much time smiling, sleeping, and entertaining the man I despise so much.

I wasn't a virgin when I met Mike because there was no way I was willing to give up my virginity to him. So, when I was in college, I dated a guy and ended up losing it to him. Mike is one of the few men I've had in my life, so seeing him suffer doesn't bother me.

I didn't know how the godmother was going to deal with Mike seriously, but I hoped she would do it quickly because I was tired of waiting and anticipating what could or might happen the next day.

Fortunately for me, the lady followed through on her promise without delay.

The next day, I was in the café when Clark approached me and showed me the news. I took the tablet away from him and began watching it.

I didn't bother going to the third floor and instead stayed on the second floor, where a few customers were currently reading books.

When I looked at the news, I couldn't help but smile. I returned the tablet to Clark with a smile after reading for a while, "so, they finally arrested him?"

"Yes, the man chewed more than he can swallow," Clark replied, nodding his head, "he won't come out with all the charges against him, no matter how much money he has."

I felt relieved when I heard this. Clark is currently in custody after being charged with tax evasion, embezzlement, money laundering, and insider trading.

I wasn't in the mood to find out how this all happened.

To me, the sooner Clark is sentenced and sent to prison, the better off I will be.

And just as I thought the drama was coming to a close with Mike being summoned to court, something bizarre happened to Gertrude.

Gertrude divorced Mike, got custody of her two children, and I only found out later that, prosecutors subpoenaed her and made a deal with them. This is how she got by, but it wasn't enough for me.

Gertrude isn't the only child in the family, and Mike's actions had already had an impact on the family business, and with Mike being a live-in son-in-law, Gertrude's family had taken a huge hit, so their tolerance was low. And with Gertrude in the mix, it was easy to predict how things would turn out for her.

It overjoyed me to see all of this. I didn't care whether Gertrude's children suffered or not during this battle; forgive me for being ruthless and selfish. Those children were not saints either, and they inherited their parents' personalities.

It will benefit them to be humbled and taught to rely on less.
