Chereads / The inheritance / Chapter 35 - I must win

Chapter 35 - I must win

I hate Bella she is just like her mother. Always getting the best men attracted to her. I and Mary were friends. We were like sisters. Mary comes from a wealthy home. My mum was their maid. She had me at a very young age. I knew nothing about my Dad. Mum never said anything about him no matter how much I asked. Luckily Mary's family were very nice. I and Mary become friends and her parent sent us to the same school.

I was always jealous of her because she was beautiful and rich she lacks nothing but she was annoying to me. I pretend to be friends with her because that was what paid my school fees. It was not like I have a choice about being nice to her, my existence depends on her. Mary was very intelligent and no matter how hard I tried I could not do better than her in school. All the popular boys back in high school and even university wanted her.

What a waste, can't my life be a little like the movies, where the poor girl is more beautiful and intelligent. No no, I had nothing and she had everything. She was called the most beautiful girl in high school and her popularity was my nightmare.

Why will she have it all? I was only but her shadow. Most people were nice to me because of her. And the few people who hated her were created by me in secret. I was not the only one jealous of her in high school but I was the only one who hated her but she trusted me with her life.

I wanted to become rich by all means maybe then I will no longer be her shadow. Maybe I could even become richer than her. But in this unfair world, I could not become rich without her help. And if she was helping me then I am still her shadow. So the fast way apart from hard work was to marry a wealthy guy. I will use his name to make my own name. Besides hard work will take a lot of time which I don't have.

I even hope on finding a guy better and richer than whoever Mary married but who I am kidding, all the guys that fit in my checklist wanted Mary, even when she did not want them. It was hell for me to watch her treat men that I was praying they take a quick look at me like trash. But I couldn't show it. If anything ever happened to Mary then I can kiss my own plans goodbye.

So for my plan to work, I had to keep her safe even if I felt like killing her with my own hands. I am a very patient person and I know how to look at the bigger picture. I did not let my jealous ruined my perfect plans.

It not like I was not beautiful or intelligent. I had a lot of admirers too but it seems that I always wanted what Mary had because she always had the best. Nobody in school ever knew that my mum was just a maid to Mary's family. Mary did not tell anyone.

I told everyone that my parents were dead and that they left a huge trust fund for me, which was for my study. I told them that my parents and Mary's parents were friends that were why I and Mary were so close. Mary did not bother to say it was a lie. It not really a lie my mum is Mary's mother personally maid and they seem closed. Besides Mary loved me truly and did not want me to feel timid among her rich friends.

Then one day we meet the Wisdom Wealth sons. They were both very handsome. I like Kevin he was so nice and gentle, unlike his brother who was a flirt. But as usually Kevin went for Mary and before my eyes they become lovers.

I was so jealous but somehow since Matt was a flirt we got to date. The truth is I will not call it a date because all we did was have sex. Seducing him and acting innocent was very easy to do. Trust me if I was an actor I am sure I would have won many awards. He never took me seriously and I knew he was seeing other girls. But I acted very innocent and naive. Bad boys like when they use the naive girl. So I kept playing the role of a stupid naive girl. The goal was to become his wife, so playing stupid and naive is nothing.

Soon Mary and Kevin got married after we finished our studies at the university. I used my friendship with Mary to get to know Mrs. Bella Wealth their mother. With my pretend and acting she soon like me and approved of my relationship with her son.

Mrs. Wealth's health started failing and I knew my dreams of marrying her son will die if she died without us been married. Mary was enjoying her marriage with Kevin and it made me hate her the more, of course I did not show it. I always visited them and told her, how happy it made me see her so happy.

So I got pregnant for Matt and told him about it. I told him when I knew his mother would hear. And like planned she, heard and asked that we got Married. I was just a naive girl who did not get in his business so he agreed to the marriage. I bother myself less about having a big wedding like the one Mary and Kevin had. Matt did not like a big party and I could care less. I am very goal-oriented I don't mind just signing the marriage papers without a wedding.

Besides if the wedding becomes the talk of the town some nosy people will get curious and investigate my background which can ruin all my plans.

Few months after our wedding Mary gave birth to Bella. The little girl took her mum's beauty. Even if she looked like her dad she would have still been very beautiful.

I was few months pregnant when Mrs. Wealth die. And it hurt me to know that she willed the wealthy mansion to little Bella. Even without my mother-in-law's will, Bella has a Hugh trust fund, Mary's Parents set it up the minute she was born. I was planning to use my husband's death to get access to the trust fund who would have thought that the agency had other plans.

The happiest day of my life was the Day Mary died. I cried my eyes out with joy. i was not pleased that Kevin was gone too, you know I still had my fantasy about him. I poured all the anger and hatred I had for Mary on her daughter.

I wanted my children to grow up having everything but For Bella I want her to suffer. This was the first time table turn to my favorites so I must use it to the fullest. Mary was an only child and she inherited a lot of money and properties from her parents.

Since she died a year after her mum, I manage to get access to part of the money. I knew I could not get all the money with Bella alive so I made my first attempt to kill her when she was fourteen of course she did not die. And my husband Matt said he needed her alive he even warned me that if she dies I will go to jail for it, he will make sure of it.

I never tried to kill her after that. Knowing my husband I knew jail is the mercy he will show me if I hurt Bella again and he will show that mercy because of our children. So I just enjoy making life a living hell for her.

I was almost caught stealing Mary's money this was how I started my affair with Steve. He found a way to save me and destroyed all evidence but since then I could not lay hand on the money or property. Steve is so nice to me. He knows how to treat a woman and I don't feel guilty about having an affair. The most important thing was not to get caught. I have kept this secret perfectly and I will keep it so. Good thing Steve is no longer with his wife that was a big relief.

I thought all Bella inherited from her mother was just the looks, how wrong I was. So like her mother, she is attracting Carl a very famous and rich artist. He was also from a wealthy home who can quit the entertainment industry and still be rich. It hurt me to know that even with all the wealth my daughter enjoyed Bella was always more beautiful and it got me angry when people say it. It hurt me to see that Carl will choose Bella over my daughter if two of them competed for him. It makes me hate her even more.

When Daniella pour hot water on her we plan the water for her face but then her back took it. She was so lucky.

I knew the only reason why my husband protected her was for the will. But nobody was going to ruin my plan. This was not just about getting her inheritance but there is no way I will sit back and allow her to be with Carl.

Maybe I should have just let her go to the university, how would she have met Carl then. Anyway I am hoping my plan works. Once Carl is out of the picture. I am certain my plans will run smoothly. I will find a way to get the agency off the Wisdom will, once the plan pulls through. that way I can kill Bella and her child after some years. And that will finally be the end of Mary. I must win.
