Loretta May and Bailey Harper grew up together like sisters, they loved each other to death. They shared food and toys in kindergarten, even shared clothing in middle-school, shared interests and at one point even shared interest in the same guy. Bailey was raised by a single parent, only her mother. She never knew her father and thus Loretta kept getting extra things from her house to share with her. Her dad would also always give her extra pocket money to share with Bailey. Whatever Loretta had, she wanted to share it with Bailey...
Atleast that was until Loretta overhead a heated argument between her parents one night and everything changed. She started comparing herself to Bailey and noticed that Bailey was better than her in all aspects, she was more beautiful than her, more s*xier, more intelligent, more lovable and all the boys at school gave her gifts.
What first started as simple competition between two friends started turning into malicious jealousy, and jealousy soon turned into intense hatred. Although it was one sided. Bailey had never suspected Loretta's hatred for her until it was too late, she always hid it well. Making sure to always act like nothing was wrong ever. To Bailey it even seemed like she was more nicer and more giving towards her.
Things took a turn for the worst in university, Loretta had hoped Bailey would get denied for having insufficient funds to pay her fees, but who knew she would get a full bursary that payed for everything, even food. But the nail in the coffin was when Bailey won a million dollar competition for coding a security app from scratch in fourth year of her Computer Science degree. She got noticed by big companies who already wanted to recruit her after her graduation, even the president came to her prize giving, it was like all eyes were on her.
Yet she couldn't even get a single acting gig. Loretta could hardly pretend anymore and started making excuses for why they should not hang out together or do stuff together. But she never considered that she had went into the entertainment industry for the wrong reasons, she didn't love the art of acting, she just wanted a platform where she could have all eyes on her. So her failure only fueled her hatred for Bailey.
When Loretta May saw Bailey Harper at the hospital she was really scared, scared that she was going to go back to the city to steal her spotlight again and tell the world what happened six months ago, days before their graduation. No, that couldn't happen. Not now when her acting career was starting to pick up, not now when she was starting to get famous. The whole world was starting to have all eyes on her. However the fear in her heart was replaced by joy when she heard Bailey had amnesia then replaced by pure anger when the nurses expected her to help her. No, she would never help her, she would never allow her to get back on her feet again. She had helped her enough growing up.
So before she got into the theater ward for her abortion, she opened her email and clicked on the contact JJ.
JJ, you say mission accomplished? How come I saw her at XX Village, healthy and fine?
- Loretta
Then clicked send. Little did she know that even before her recipient saw her email, another man had seen it first.
Marcellus King was sitting in his car on his way to a meeting when his phone's alert popped up. He had put an alert on everyone's gadget who was linked to Bailey in some way or the other. Friend, family, colleagues, even old classmates. He quickly opened it and when he saw the email his heart leaped to his throat. Heat rushed to his face and his breathe became labored. He found her? He finally found her! "Stop the car" he hastily told the driver, when the driver stopped the car he quickly jumped to the driver's seat pushing the driver out. Once the driver came out he floored the accelerator, wishing he could fly to the village and get the sooner.
Little did he know, fate was really against him.
