the past and the present

The next day, Ayla made sure Malia was sent to kindergarten before she made her way to Celine's place.

"Wait what!? Daniel called you? Why"?

She asked so many questions at the same time.

"I don't know what he wants, he said he only called to know how I was doing. I didn't give him the opportunity to say more before I ended the call".

Ayla said and Celine tapped her on her back.

"That's my girl, I'm proud of you".

She then paused for a while before speaking again.

"But... what are you going to do now? He might want to meet up very soon".

Celine said but Ayla gave her a killer look.

"You really think I'd agree to meet Daniel? He's engaged to Sasha. What will I be, their chief bridesmaid"?

She said and Celine laughed a little because of how she put it.

"Of course not, but don't you feel wronged? Not only did she drug you and ruin your life, they even turned your father's back against you".

Celine said but Ayla simply smiled.

"Don't blame my father's foolishness on them. He did all he did because he wanted to. And of course, I will get my revenge".

Ayla said with determination.

"Everything my father has today, belongs to my mother. I'll take back everything and send his cheating ass back where it belongs".

If there was anyone Ayla hated more than her father, it would be Sasha and her mother. Those three made her life a living hell and it wasn't always like that.

When Ayla was a child, she was loved and got everything she wanted. Her father spoilt her and treated her as nothing less than a princess. But all that came to an end when her mom found out that her father had been cheating and even had a daughter that is just a few months younger than Ayla.

Gradually, Ayla's mother's health began to deteriorate and when Ayla was eleven, her mom passed away.

That was when it all started. Two months after her mom's death, her father brought his mistress and daughter home.

Ayla was always very nice to Sasha but she didn't know that Sasha was saying things to her father, making him hate her more and more.

All that is what brought them to where they are now. But one thing was sure, Ayla was not the same as she was back then.

Yes, she was currently broke and she didn't want to have anything to do with her family but, she was also a thousand times stronger.

Taking Celine's motorbike, she drove off to her apartment. She needed to grab some things since she wouldn't be staying here much anymore.

When she was done packing a little bag pack, she opened the door, only to see Sasha standing in front of her door.

"Hello, sister".

She said in the most evil and bitchy voice ever.

"Going somewhere"?

She asked but Ayla said nothing and just kept looking at her with her head held up.

"Funny, you can now look me in the eye. I guess all those years away made you feel you are now something".

While she was saying all this, Ayla just kept looking.

"Unfortunately, I heard you can't even get a job. That... is to remind you who the real boss is".

Sasha said but now, it seemed like Ayla had had enough. Pushing her to the side, she locked her door and began walking away.

"I'm getting married to Daniel!!"

Sasha yelled and Ayla paused.

Sasha smiled, thinking it had gotten to her but then, Ayla turned and moved a bit closer to her.

"Congratulations".

Ayla said in a really cold but calm tone and walked away.

Sasha tied her hands up in a fist, her knuckles were so tight it looked like blood would come out at any time.

Never has she felt so angry to receive a congratulations before.

Ayla rode back to Alexandra's place and on getting in, she still couldn't decipher how one person could be this wealthy.

It looked like he was the god of wealth.

"Hahaha, the god of wealth marries a fallen princess".

She laughed at her own words as she made her way into the house.

Sasha went back home, crying and throwing things around.

She had gone through Daniel's recent calls and found out that he had called Ayla. That was the reason why she went to see her today.

"What is wrong with you Sasha? Why are you acting like this"?

Her mother asked as she walked into her room to see it in a mess.

"She'll never be happy. I will take everything she has and forever leave her with nothing. She has no right to be happy unless I say so".

She said and her mother didn't ask who as she already knew.

"How do you plan to do that"?

Her mother asked, making her look at her with an evil smile.

"Oh come on Mom, she doesn't have father and she doesn't have Daniel. She's literally worthless. All I have to do is make sure it remains that way".

Sasha said and her mother smiled.

"That's my girl. But I don't understand, you have everything figured, so why are you so agitated"?

Her mom asked and with a face that looked like it would explode at any time, she spoke.

"I'll make her regret ever looking at me like that. She will never be able to congratulate me in that manner ever again".

Ayla was asked to have lunch with Alexander so she took a quick shower and left for the restaurant.

Celine already told her who Alexander is and she also did some findings of her own.

She still couldn't understand why a man that perfect chose to marry her, when he could have easily gotten someone who could match his class.

Alexander was labeled the number one most handsome and most successful man in the entire country.

"Haa, I can imagine the shock on people's faces if they ever find out that I am his wife".

She said to herself in the car.

She had just entered the restaurant when she heard her name.

"Ayla"?

She turned, only to see Daniel. He rushed over and hugged her and just as she pushed him away, she heard her name again.

"Ayla"?
