Chapter 16 It Was All Fake

Elsie strutted up to Eileen in her high heels, her long hair swaying against her back. “What are you standing there for, Eileen? Can you please tell me what happened?”

She stretched out an arm, and Eileen stepped backwards with a frown. Eileen picked up the lunchbox on the floor, and left without saying a word.

She appeared calm as she walked along the corridor, but her chest was beating furiously.

The more she thought about it, she realized that every single person around her had something they wanted from her. No one had treated her with a sincere heart!

Eric had used her love to scam her of the will she had, kicking her to the curb after he was done.

Elsie had always taken such good care of Eileen in school, listening to her rants and giving her advice in an attempt to get closer to her and gain Will’s attention. Elsie married into the family, and joined forces with Eric to kill Will.

As for Sarah, Eileen had thought that they were the best of friends…

It was all fake!

Everything in her life was a lie!

Eileen took the lunchbox out in the bathroom, washing it clean. The stench of metal mixed with blood and decay lingered in her mind.

The water pressure was strong, and soaked the injury at her wrist. Water seeped into the wound, and a sharp pain shot up her arm.

Eileen seemed numb to the pain, as if she felt nothing. She saw that her wound was paling when she was done washing, blood seeping out slowly.

She was about to leave, when her vision turned to black. Someone had covered her head with a black plastic bag.
