Dear Angie.

Chapter Twelve

25th October 2011

Angie,

After much debate, I have decided to head back to New York. Emilia Johnson was a weakling, but I am not. I am curious about what Orchid left behind. And I will be truthful with you, Angie, I am also vaguely curious about what happened to Duval and Matari.

Of course, I will be careful and try not to make myself known. Both of them could kill me, I guess, but I would be bluffing if I said that I didn't have a plan.

I have set up an automated program that will send Anita and Doctor Harper the location of my journal and my personal letter, three days after my arrival.

Of course, I am also presently considering on the matter of Emilia's inheritance. Kian left her considerate sum of money, enough to cover the ends of the earth. To claim it might mean losing a lot, but then again, money makes things move, doesn't it?

Dear Angie,

Anita wants to come with me.

She does hold a certain charm. I know that she thinks she loves me, that I am the love of her life. She cares about me, so much that I know she ignores all evidence of my other affairs. Sometimes, when it is all over, I feel guilty and I just want to curl up into a ball and cry.

But I am not a pig.

Anita cannot come, or my plan will fail altogether.

Sometimes I wonder if she is my rebound for Marius. I do love her, in a way, t

What am I saying?

I've just contradicted myself. It appears that this trip has brought the barest ribbon of Emilia out of me. It's dangerous to let her get control. She was a little drama queen, trying to be all prim and proper, weak and vulnerable.

Anita is a way to a means. She is dispensable. If I choose to take my inheritance, she would have lost her importance long ago.

Love,

Luce.

Angie,

Fuck.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck fuck.

Of all the fucking people that I could have bumped into at the airport, I bumped into the one person who ruined my plan: Lenoir Duval.

Lenoir Bloody Duval, who didn't show any emotion at my arrival. It would be disturbing, if I showed any myself. He stared for a moment before winking at me and putting a finger to his lips.

Fuck.

I didn't anticipate this. I checked Claire, Marius, everyone, but Lenoir Duval. Sloppy and far too careless.

It doesn't matter. If I go down, they go down with me.

I've thought it through logically. I am not sure if Lenoir ever garnered any feelings for Emilia, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

I need to calm down and think this through logically.

Lenoir certainly isn't too hard on the eyes. Certainly fuckable. And those eyes, simply a yum. He certainly is eye candy.

Think of him as your next conquest, Luce. That's all he is.

He'll be a challenge, I admit, but I do love challenges. It will be fun. Fun, fun, fun.

Oh, who am I trying to bluff, Angelissa? I am panicking. I have to find a way to get Duval to shut his mouth. It's too tiresome to seduce him, and I can't put a bullet through his head.

I still have the upper hand. I know about their activities, which certainly gives me leverage. I have to get rid of Fiona's body so they won't have any evidence against me.

Marius mentioned something about a pond a few years ago. The school pond.

I will have to hire someone. No, too messy. I'll get rid of it myself. I'll have to burn the body.

It's quite simple.

Maybe acid? Setting fire to a body is far too obvious and messy.

I'll have to go research on Lenoir. His interests, hobbies, passions, maybe play with him around a little bit. If he is infatuated, it'll certainly help.

The Mataris and the Johnsons are tied. They were tied from the very beginning.

Orchid had her own journal, and I've found out more than I've ever wanted too.

I need to speak to the Duvals.

AN:

Hey everyone!!! This was written on my phone, so I don't know, if there is anything wrong with the spacing or something, just ignore it. Not edited. I had a huge difficulty with writing in Luce's tone. Really huge difficulty. Forgive me if it sounds like Lia.

Soundtrack for this chappie is Problem, Ariana Grande feat Iggy Azalea. It's pretty catchy.

Have a nice day!
