Paige's POV
Why did I accept to come here in the first place?
I rolled my eyes, It's not like I have a choice, it's the underboss order.
But I'm not one of the Capos! So just why the hell did they give me this assignment?!
I could only grunt in dissatisfaction as I sipped the warm caramel macchiato coffee in my hands.
It melted my anger away immediately, such a nice coffee!
Little wonder people kept trooping into the already bustling cafe, they made nice coffee and pastries.
The little bell at the door jingled as some more people walked in, my eyes scanning them carefully.
The reason why I'm here is because Daniel sent me to track one of the main suspects who may be the spy from Turner's family. It was supposed to be one of the Capos, but the spy definitely knows them, so I was asked to come here.
To spy on the spy.
"Breaking news"
The small TV which was some meters away from me sounded. I wasn't quite interested, I just kept watching the cafe because I needed to focus.
"JS Electronics..."
I snapped my head towards the TV at the mention of my company, my gaze fixed on the broadcaster of the news, who is a lady.
"JS Electronics CEO, President Jong Suk and his lovely wife, Director Do Hana, have just arrived in America."
"What...?"
I mouthed as my body tensed, gaze stuck on the picture of Jong Suk and Hana with arms wrapped around each other on the TV. A sickening sight to behold.
My heart felt like it was being twisted with a knife, as I let out a painful, shallow breath, my eyes stung with tears.
The two of them were both smiling...
My eyes blazing with fury glared harshly at the TV, hoping that it would break into pieces!
These motherfuckers...they looked happy!
What a joke!
My hands gripped the innocent teacup tightly, gritting my teeth in anger.
They can't be happy! They should be sad, in anguish and agony! They shouldn't have peace of mind or have time to be seen lovey-dovey after what they did!
They should pay for what they made me go through!
I felt like strangling the both of them with my two hands, they ought to be dead right now!
I wasn't focused on the assignment anymore, my mind in chaos, a weight of anger in my chest threatening to burst out. I felt like murdering something, the new feeling of bloodthirstiness was overwhelming me.
No.
I removed my trembling hands from the teacup, my eyes darting around, mind racing and running wild.
What's wrong with me?
I haven't killed anyone before right?
But why do I always have this feeling of destroying things?
Maybe it's because of my anger issues... So it's normal, Yes, that's it.
I assured myself, but I still couldn't shake off the feeling of murder in me.
"Hello--!"
"Get away from me!" I bursted out immediately before I could think.
Shit! I had lashed out at the wrong person!
I jumped out of my seat instantly, "I'm so sorry!" I said and bowed guiltily.
A sharp, deafening laughter rang beside me, making me raise my body up.
I sucked in a quick breath.
It's my sister, Paula Lee.
I had sweaty palms immediately, what's she doing here?
"Eonni--"
"Hold it!" Paula took three steps back, her face contorted in disgust, she threw her expensive pink bag to one of her friends and sized me up slowly.
My brows knitted as I scoffed, it definitely isn't her fault.
The way Paula dressed was a big contrast to mine. She had on her a pink tuxedo suit and pants, pink open-toe heels, and a Dior bag to match.
She was exquisitely pink from head to toe!
But as for me... I cleared my throat as I awkwardly checked myself out.
I have an armless black crop top on, with black shirt, cargo pants, and black boots. I looked like a street gangster especially with my lip ring.
"For Pete's sake whatcha doing here?" Paula asked me, "anyone can be here" I answered with a palm raised up.
"Did the mafia Lord dump ya?" She squeaked and laughed, her two friends joining her.
"What are you saying?!" I questioned silently, almost everyone in the cafe was staring at us.
"Hailey you shouldn't have brought me where this shithead is!" Paula snorted, making me frown. "I really can't stay with this whore" she said and turned her back. "Wait!" I called out and followed her. I wanted to ask her about my father, and wondered if he knew Paula was like this.
My sister wasn't like this before, the Paula I knew was a loving kind-hearted person, not this snobbish, loathsome kind.
As I rushed towards Paula, I grabbed her arm but she instantly shrugged me off cruelly!
I halted in my steps feeling my heart throbbed with pain and hurt, as Paula and her friends walked out the door, a tear ran down my cheek. Despite all the barrage of emotions I felt, I ran after her again, I won't let her go until she gives me an answer!
"Paula Lee!"
I screamed with everything in me as I stepped outside, the pent up anger in me burst forth into a fiery explosion. My fist turned white with tension at how tight I clenched it. Paula paused and looked back, "let's go babe!" Her friends urged her on.
"Paula Lee! Why are you treating me like this? Am I not your sister?" I asked the very question that had been weighing on my mind for weeks. "Paula, tell me!" I shouted at her in the presence of everyone passing by, followed by sobs and tears. It felt difficult breathing, I just needed an answer, cause how the heck could my biological sister just change towards me! It's unbelievable!
Paula took hurried strides towards me, "Paula!" Her friends shouted.
She stood in front of me with vile eyes, "you want to know why I'm like this, crybaby?"
I ignored her insult and nodded, my mind running into a frenzy as I anticipated her response.
"I fucking hate you Paige!"
Paula screeched sardonically, her words dripping with malice, each one a poisoned dart, stabbing my heart.
"I hate the sight of you evil snake!" She spat provokingly.
I knew the level of my anger management, and it just dropped from 30% to 20%.
My face became flush with rage and embarrassment, breathing turned fast and uncontrollable.
15%
I bit my lips hard so that it drew blood, "I hate you! You little slut!"
5%
"Whore!"
0%
I bid my anger management goodbye!
WHACK!
A slap had landed on Paula's face, my body was trembling with hot fury!
I was the one who slapped her!
I couldn't take it anymore! If she hates me, I hate her too! How dare Paula call me a slut!
"Paige--!"
Paula grabbed my hair as she screamed, I slapped her again and again, giving her kicks and blows. I kicked her to the ground and sat on her, using hard slaps on her. Paula's friends came to her aid but I took off my shoes and threw them at them!
The spoiled brats couldn't take it, they took off and ran, leaving Paula at my mercy.
"You bitch! How dare you call me a whore! Did I sleep with your boyfriend?!"
Everyone inside and outside the cafe was staring, some had their phones up, taking our snaps, but I was livid!
I just kept beating and whacking Paula, "you crazy woman!... Help!"
Paula wailed, she couldn't defend herself, I wasn't trained by the mafia Lord for nothing!
"That's why your husband left you--! Ahh!" I increased the rate of my beatings as Paula made mention of my ex-husband, it made me more furious!
Suddenly it started raining, but I continued my operation on Paula, I was on a rampage.
It was raining cats and dogs, but my anger didn't go down, I had my hands pressed tightly on Paula's neck.
She grunted in pain and began to plead for mercy, I almost smiled. Paula is now helpless! I choked her the more and like a sadist told her to beg me the more also!
I became deaf to the sound of the loud sirens of the policemen, blinded by rage and because of the harsh rain.
