Chereads / Married to my nemesis / Chapter 14 - Dead

Chapter 14 - Dead

Receiving another message from the same unknown number, Phoebe had a grimace, she walked to the car distracted by her phone she was unaware she was standing right in front of the door till it was opened by the driver. 

Phoebe's driver arrived at the door holding the knob for him to open, Phoebe was aware but because of her distracted attention, she simply nodded and then entered at the sound of the opened door. 

While they were on the road, her fingers scrolled through the phone but her mind was disposed since she was deciding if she was going to meet with this mysterious person or not. 

She was done with all her schedules for the day so what was the use of finding out this person, her hands were playing on her phone unknowingly driven away by her thoughts.

She had time to find out this person but also, what if the person was a fraud? 

After a while, curiosity hit her so hard that she finally gave orders. 

"Take me to this place," she sent the link of the address the person sent her to the infotainment system of the car. 

As the location was sorted in a jiffy, the driver changed direction. 

Minutes after driving, her anticipation was heightened a bit and then she sighted the view of a coffee shop. 

To conceal her identity from being publicly exposed, she wore shades with a shawl. 

As of the moment, she couldn't handle the media outlet. 

She got out of the car and walked into the coffee shop ordering an americano coffee. 

While she waited for the individual, she sent a message to the person about her arrival and then, her fingers ended up scrolling through the news her mind was lost reading the headlines. 

She didn't know if she would burst into tears at any moment or if she was going to scream. 

It's been days now since her sister's death but looking at the status of her father's company, it was going bankrupt. 

She became the new administrator of the company and she was trying her best to gain every loss they had suffered.

Before the death of her sister, Prudence had been the manager of the company, she took her time to invest in the company once again so it could come back to its lost glory but then as they grew, it began to circulate that Vixen was trying to derive all the wealth they had secured.

Maybe that was the reason why Vixen had bought a percentage of their shares. 

Phoebe didn't want to take it seriously since she thought of it as a rumor but when she heard her sister had to fight Vixen, she couldn't believe Vixen erased her sister's existence to claim their wealth. 

How could an issue become so massive? 

A battle between the company executive offer and one of their shareholders. 

Moments after moments she couldn't help but wonder if Vixen hadn't come to their family from a tender age maybe all this wouldn't have happened. 

She heard from the maids including Britney about the gunshot they had witnessed and how they saw Prudence fall to the ground to her death that night. 

So she had been planning on how to find the perfect way to get Vixen caught and imprisoned for his sins. 

For killing her sister and hiding the body of her sister, she had also planned for the time he goes behind bars because of the death of her father. 

Even if it was just so little to see him rot in jail she will be contented. 

Since the day she discovered the death of her sister she felt depressed, she felt anguished, and annoyed with herself for the fact that she couldn't provide the defense her sister needed. 

She made Nanny Britney worried, and Nanny Britney had to check on her regularly to see if she was okay. 

Phoebe was good at covering up her pain with the use of a smile and feigned happiness after she heard about how her sister's death came about. 

She bit her lips enduring the tears that she wanted to pour out, she couldn't cry, she needed to fight. 

"It seems you've waited so long," she raised her head to see who it was, her eyebrows arched and her facial expression formed into a frown wondering about the identity of the individual at her front. 

Just then the person removed the glasses worn to unveil her identity. 

"I thought we both could speak, besides, it shouldn't take so long till we're done, " the person claimed with a mischievous smile. 

"Why are you—" Phoebe said in a bewildered tone. 

"Shhh, don't shout at me at the moment, please, I ask you to listen to me," the person said as she took her seat before everyone recognized her presence.

Enim woke up early the next day, with the blanket around her chest, she raised her body to see Vixen was still asleep. 

She stood up and gently moved without waking him as she got away from the bed. 

After getting out of bed, Enim took her shower coming out of the bathroom dressed in a robe also using a towel to dry her hair while she was in preparation to get dressed for where she was heading, she turned to see Vixen was still asleep so she used the opportunity to inform him on a paper about her whereabouts when he wakes. 

After writing a note, she placed it on the table beside the bed reminiscing on their past moments for a while before she reminded herself she had to leave. 

She wore a crop top and a pair of jeans complimenting it with a long silver chain purse and then she applied a little bit of makeup. 

Once she was done, just like before, she made sure to make her moves steady so as not to wake Vixen as she left the space. 

The maids were about to approach her but she was in a hurry she had to refuse them. 

Telling the driver where she was going, she removed her phone from her purse and then sent the address. 

Getting a phone for use was easier than she had imagined though she was not able to get Enim's phone, she got the phone from one of the maids and now, she was using the opportunity to find a way to add allies who could help her figure out the truth to this mystery. 

The driver ended up at a coffee shop as she extended her lips seeing that the person she had texted to come to the coffee shop came. 

"I'll go now, you'll be called when I'm done," Enim informed as she came down and then she entered the coffee shop, when she moved towards the individual, she greeted her with a smile. 

"Nanny Britney," she said delightfully as Britney raised her head to sight who had approached her.

"What are you doing here, Elizabeth?" Phoebe asked about standing but Elizabeth was quick to hold her down. 

"Aren't you the one who's supposed to be apologetic?" 

"What are you saying? I didn't know things would turn out this way. Believe me, I never knew the media would take things seriously, " Phoebe retaliated. 

"Will you keep quiet? I know that media outlets are always looking for something they could make a trendy topic, something that will fetch them money even if they have to go to the extent of giving false information. I saw Prudence's apologetic message, and I want to see her but I haven't seen her for days now. Where could she be? She couldn't even complete her goal to defeat that devil of a Vixen, She probably is orchestrating her means which explains why she hasn't replied to my text for days now. I just wished Prudence was here to see what was happening because of her absence, he'd completely ruined your lives and now, he wants to get married?" 

"If I tell you what had happened then you promise to keep it a secret?" 

"What are you saying? What could be" 

"Prudence is dead, she was killed by the man who you're talking about, Vixen." 

At the mention of her words, Elizabeth dropped the coffee cup that was in her hand out of being overwhelmed, the sound of the shattered glass created attention but then her entire being was beating fast she cared less about what they thought.
