Chapter 5 - A Horror (1/2)

It was a sunny afternoon; he was playing with his sister and they played hide and seek; it was his turn to hide, and he knew the one place where she wouldn't find him was in his parents' room; so he sneaked into their room; his parents were taking a nap, his Dad had his hand around his mom; he could still remember the flower petals on the gown she wore; the red roses on the quilt, not a single memory of that day had blurred, they were still inscribed in his memories. Tip-toeing gently, he found his way to the wardrobe and hid; a boyish grin on his face as he thought of a million places his younger sister would look for him in their mighty mansion.

He could still hear her distant counts; she was almost nearing ten, and he was eager to win this time; when suddenly she stops counting at eight;

Thinking she might have stopped because she wanted to get him before he finds a place to hide, he smiled to himself; she won't ever think of their parents' wardrobe. There was still a grin on his face when suddenly the doors to the room pulled open and he heard footsteps march in; four armed men, wearing all black and a mask over their faces stepped inside, then there was a clanking of heels; his brows furrowed as he wondered what they were doing in his parents' room and then he saw her;

Catherine Wills; he could never forget the smirk on her lips when she stepped into the room; she walked to where his parents lay and woke them up; his father stirred and turned to look at her;

He sat up in shock, his mom followed suit;

''Surprise! '' She said, her hands in the air and a wicked smile on her lips;

''What are you doing here?! Who are all these people who let them in? '' his father asked, seriously confused at what was happening;

''Aren't you happy to see me? '' She asked, the grin leaving her lips, buried in her eyes was extreme hate and disgust;

''What are you doing here? ''

As soon as his father asked again, a thunderous slap landed on his left cheek; making his mother shriek and tears falling from her eyes;

''I've always wanted to do that. '' Catherine said, and she swung her gloved arm in the air;

''What do you want? '' His mom cried as she rubbed on her husband's face where he was attacked;

''Can't you see? Are you blind?! I'm here to kill both of you! ''

She said walking to the couch was opposite the bed, she sat down;

''But first, I have to tell you something I want you to take to your graves. ''

''Catherine, don't be stupid, you are making a grave mistake'' His father said, this time his voice was sober;

Catherine laughed wickedly; ''that shouldn't be your concern; you are a dead man already. ''

''I always wanted to be this woman; She said pointing at his mom; ''I always wanted to be your wife; Jeffery. I loved you with everything in me; I got pregnant for you, so maybe you would change your mind and marry me; but no! What did you do?

You chased me and my little boy away and married this filth! Is she prettier than me? Uh? What does she have that I don't, uh? Why did you have to choose her!'' She lifted a porcelain vase that was sitting on a table beside her and threw it across the floor. It made a shattering sound as it scattered into many pieces.

''Catherine, you know that is not true, I gave you Warren Corporation as a compensation, and I never intended to have a child with you, you drugged me. ''

''Shut up!! '' She blared, standing up from the couch; she paced around the room for some seconds, stabling herself;

''Well, I don't need you anymore, I have your baby now; and that means, I get to own everything you have! '' She laughed hysterically; a little tear dropping from her eyes

And you know how I will do that? I will kill you both now. You may be thinking, oh!, I have two kids, who would take over my companies ha-ha, sorry, I've killed them both! So you see, I'm just inches away from achieving my goal!'
