"I just wanted to talk." Karina said, being strangely calm.
"We have nothing to talk about." I told her as I wanted to close the door, but she tried to keep it open.
"We do. Would you let me in?" she asked, with the same calm voice and vibe.
"No, it's better like that." I said as stepped outside. "Tell me, what's so important that you had to break in?" I continued, crossing my arms.
"It's about Rapha." she said, lowering her voice.
"Then we're all done here." I said as I turned back to the door, but she grabbed my hand to stop me.
"Listen to me. As much as I hate you for destroying him-" she tried to say but I took over her.
"What did you say?" I said with a loud voice that made even the girls inside come closer in case anything happened.
"That you destroyed him. I've known him way before you did, and he wasn't the same after you dumped him." she explained while I was trying to keep myself together.
"Karina, please. Leave now until it's not too late. Police could also be on the way." I said with a lower voice.
"You know what, dear Ariana? You can't always be a bitch. You can't do whatever you want to do and expect everyone to be quiet about it." she said as she tried to slap me, but she was too weak to do so.
"Get the fuck out of my house." I said as I pushed her away through the open gate, where it happened to see that she had company. "I thought you had your lesson learned." I told Rapha as I saw him leaning on his car.
"Yeah, that's why I'm here actually." he said as he stepped closer to me.
"Yeah? So you sent her as your messenger?" I said as I removed his hand from my shoulders.
"I'm not scared of your father. I'm not scared of everyone. If you try to manipulate anyone, ever again, trying to make me look like the bad guy, you and your minions would regret it." he said as he caught my arm.
"So I'm manipulative if I say something about the stalking and the abusive things you did to me?" I said and he pulled me closer.
"That's all I'm saying. You have nothing against me. It's your word against mine. Live your fantasy world with your little boyfriend who might cheat on you too, since you are a psycho and can't be around you. Do anything you want to do as long as you stay away from me." he said as Karina was looking for something in the car.
"Rapha, what are you talking about? Are you high, drunk? What's going on? You stalked me, abused me, stalked me again, you got me through therapy and everything. Just four days ago you followed me to a parking lot. You came to my house, where my family lives, to talk to me again. I didn't do anything to you but to avoid you, but you keep texting me, following me and disturbing me. All of these while I just ignore you. Please, seek some help." I said as I tried to get back inside but I felt a cold hand on the back of my head.
"You see this? You're lucky I still care for you enough not to pursue my plan." he said as he showed me a gun. "Now, be a good girl and do what I told you to do. And don't say anything about this either. Okay?" he said as he pressed his lips on my head.
I went inside, all shaking from what happened, barely opening or closing the door.
"You got that, did you?" I asked the girls as they were recording everything from the microphone that my bell had, while dad was in his office making sure the security camera also worked.
