CARINA

38: SAVE IT

Mackenzie's POV

"KNOCK knock!" the person I called my cousin walked in with an unwanted smile "You don't seem so happy to see your cousin"

"I've never been happy to you since I knew you were involved in all these" I said

"Oh come on. Stop making a fuss" Stacy rolled her eyes "I brought your food and you should eat up before Kimberly finds out I always give you healthy foods instead of that disgusting thing she asks me to give you" she made a gagging noise

"Why are you even helping them?" I felt sad knowing she wasn't on my side. We always argued but I didn't know she had hatred towards me

"It's not like I wanted to do this. I was threatened and don't you even want her to kill you so you can go and meet your parents or something?" she asked "And it's not like we've been the best cousins or anything. All you did was steal whatever that belonged to me"

"Why do you always say that? I still don't get what exactly I 'stole' from you"

"Stop pretending Mackenzie. You know exactly what you stole. When we were kids, everyone always praised you and whatever I gained, no one saw its significance because you had already gained it. Jay always told me I was his best cousin until you came along. When your parents died, my parents won't stop throwing all their love on you. They would always tell me to be like you. And in high school, all my friends wanted to be your friends until they eventually became your friends. We look alike but you always get the compliments and not me"

"You think you both look alike?" Ciro scoffed and she turned to him in anger "You're so wrong girl. You only have the curly hair in common and even with that, hers looks much better than yours so stop deceiving yourself. You don't even look cute like her"

"No one asked for your fucking opinion!" Stacy glared at him.

Ciro was complimenting me, isn't he adorable?

I giggled and Stacy turned to me "You think this is funny? This is exactly what you deserve! You even stole my husband from me"

"Stacy, are you sure you're not on anything? Your husband? When did you even have a boyfriend? All you've ever had were flings so when did you get married?"

"Dante was supposed to be my husband but you stole him from me!"

"What is wrong with you?!" I asked getting frustrated

"Remember it was rumored Dante had a fiancée? Yeah it was true. I was supposed to have that contract with him and marry him but..."

"...I stole him from you" I completed her sentence "Yeah right. That's all you've been saying. For all I know, I overheard him telling his friends that his fake fiancée ran away because she quit, so how is that my fault? I didn't even know you were the one. If you wanted him that bad then you should have stayed instead of running away"

"I didn't ran away willingly! Kimberly met me and threatened to kill me if I had married him but you were able to marry him. I guess it was because you got married before she found out and now you're even pregnant for him, you lucky bitch. Once you're gone, Dante is going to see me again and I'm going to make him fall for me"

"And you think Kimberly would like that?" I teased "She wants to kill me and you think she won't kill you after all this? She'll also see you as a challenge and finish you off"

"You're working for the wrong team, girl. Help us so you can get out of this mess too. I can assure you that I'm taking your pregnant cousin out of here safely so you can help us and get out too" Ciro said
