The Woman From Hell

"She's calling. I'll hang up first."

I hung up the phone after I said that to Marius and answered Delia's call.

Delia's delicate voice came from the receiver before I could even say anything, "Hello, Wanda. I don't think you expected me to call you, hmm?"

I was not in the mood to greet her and questioned, "Delia, where did you take my children?!"

"Don't worry, they're in a very safe place. Not to mention, Theo helped me take them there, so don't worry."

Delia's voice sounded so soft on the phone.

The more I listened to her, the more it made me be reminded of someone.

My eyes narrowed as I furrowed my brows tightly. "What do you mean? I've already left Whaldorf City. Will you not even let me take my children with me? Or do you want to help me raise them?"

Delia's laughter rang the moment I said that. She was laughing so brightly, but her voice was grating that it hurt my heart.

"Wanda, don't think I don't know what you guys are up to, pretending to quarrel and then you leaving. You want to trick me again? That's impossible. Come back and go through the divorce procedure with Theo. Then, I will let you and the children go. Otherwise, you'll never see them for the rest of your life."
