"You have to tell me now. There will not be peace among us if you don't. " Lily said again trying to negotiate.
"Fine, I will tell you. In return, promise not to tell anyone about it, is that a deal?" I asked. I knew it would not be a deal. It was just a matter of time till she told my mother.
"Deal. Now, tell me. " She replied.
"Diane's mother died. " I said.
"I know that, you don't have to tell me that. Tell me the crucial part. " Lily shouted with a strong gaze.
"But she was murdered. I did not see her body but she is in the freezer right in the mortuary. Diane wants revenge. So, I am helping her in any way I can." Lily was speechless. She looked at me with my mouth wide open. She could not believe her ears. Never would she have thought Diane's mother was murdered. It was really something.
"What do you mean she was murdered? How sure are you?" She finally spoke after five minutes.
"Like eighty percent?"
"Is Trev Electronics involved in her death?" She asked. I could tell she was most concerned about Trev Electronics, I did not know if she still loved her ex, or just wanted to hear some more secrets.
"I am not sure. But, they did threaten her because she had some documents which could bring them down. The worst they could have done was to kill her. "
"Why is Diane's family not bothered about it?" She asked with a serious face.
"Her stepsister told me she got what she deserved, like she did not care. Her father is looking for her, I think he is worried if she would say something. There is more to it, I guess. "
"So, that was why Trev Electronics kidnapped her? I can't believe it. So, Trev Electronics is the villain here?" The questions were getting too much but I had no other choice than to answer them.
"Yes for now. You said you dated Trev Electronics chairman, does that mean you know almost everything about him?"
"Yes, except from the fact that he might be involved with Diane's mother's death. I know literally everything about him. "
"Is that right? Then, how about we play a game?"
"What kind?"
"A game of threats. We could expose his dirty little secrets you know to the social world. It will make him nervous and at last, he will try to find us. If he does, we will flip the table. " I said as I smiled.
"I know I also want to destroy him but is it not too overwhelming to do so? If what you said is true, then it means we might put ourselves in danger. Let us let Diane know. "
"No. Strangely enough, I have an instinct not to let her know. This is not part of her revenge plan but your revenge. We should get back at him for cheating on you, don't you think?"
"That is right. Brother, you are the best. " She said as she tapped me on my head.
Doing things without making Diane get involved had been my plan. I did not know what she saw in that company, but regardless of it, I decided to ruin Trev Electronics myself. The company did not mess with me, but it did with Diane and Lily. And after reading the documents, I really wanted to screw them over. What they did was beyond my imagination.
"We will need more people to work for us. Do you really think only us can work alone?"
"Yes. I think so. Let the both of us work together." I replied.
"We cannot. How do you expect only us two?"
"You are here, Trev... Electronics... owner's... ex!" I said as I smiled. "Judging by the way he came look for you, he might still have feelings for you. Why would he hurt someone he has feelings for?"
"You never know. "
"Are you doubting Diane? Did she do something bad? I still don't think it is right for us to leave her behind."
"She has been locking herself indoors since she was taken as hostage. She seems to be very traumatized, she might let her emotions take over her if we allow her. She might ruin our plan, people like her are like that. " I explained.
"But still..."
"What is his deepest dirtiest secret?"
"He is a mafia." She replied. I was not expecting that.
"What? Mafia? Did he tell you that?"
"Yes, I don't know what it meant. So, I asked him. He told me it was just like a secret agency just for business. "
"Wow! I knew it, so, he is a Thai mafia?" I asked as I smiled. The whole issue was getting very interesting.
"He is Thai. But that is what a mafia means right?" That was it. The effect of lack of primary education.
"No. It is worse than you think. Sure, it is for business but associated with killings and other crimes. Mafia! Of all names, why mafia?"
"So, if you are right. We will be fighting against him. Then, that means he might attack us. Let us not do this. Even though he cheated on me, I can just forgive and forget, you know?" Lily said acting scared.
"Do not be nervous, it is not easy to beat a mafia but it is easy to beat them. "
"What are you saying? Stop saying crap and know I am not involved. Never!" Lily said as she stormed out.
What suddenly came upon me that I wanted to fight against a mafia, was what I could not understand. Maybe I believed life was easy to run. Like what I saw in movies, I literally believed revenge was easy. Not knowing the most crucial part — money. Money is the best way to revenge, without money, there was no possibility to avenge someone. I was just fifteen, I could be called a brave citizen but I was not.
