Chapter 36
It’s been a few days since it happened at Jewel’s house, it’s a good thing that the young man never came back there again and as for Storm, it’s been okay somehow and Jewel is also trying to talk about his father. .
Jewel is currently in the mall because she needs to buy something, she just came from the school where her child will attend as her parents wanted.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
While she was walking around the mall, she passed in a sweet cafe so she entered there to try their sweet foods and order a take out for her son. She was not with Storm because the little boy was still asleep when she left.
When she was able to order, she looked for a vacant seat, just a few minutes later, her order arrived with the package she took out. While she was eating, she saw two women who had just entered and ordered at the counter. When she looked closely she recognized that the other woman was Monique but she did not know who the other companion was. In her mind it seemed familiar to her, but she just could not remember it.
And when the two ordered, Jewel waved her hand to grab the attention of the two, when Monique saw her she immediately smiled and approached her at the same time as the woman with her.
“Hi Jewel, you’re here too. Who’s with you?” she asked
“I’m alone her, I just bought something and I passed by in this cafe and their foods look delicious that why I tried it.” She replied, “Your friend?” she added.
But before Monique could answer, a friend preceded her. “Hi, I’m Margaux. I’m Monique’s friend.” the woman said
“Nice to meet you.” Jewel replied with a smile
“Jew, can we just share a table? If it’s okay.” Monique’s voice.
“Of course, I don’t have anyone with me either,” she replied
Exactly when they sat down, their order also arrived so they started eating when Magaux suddenly spoke. “What is Jewel? Do you want to ask something? I notice you’ve been looking at me for a long time.”
“Nothing, because earlier when I saw you, you seemed familiar to me, I just can’t remember if we met or not.”
“Obcourse Jewel, we have met before. I will introduce myself again, maybe you don’t remember me anymore. I’m Margaux Villafuerte, sister of Daven.” She said
Shock appeared on her face. “Is that you Marga? You look prettier than before.” she exclaimed almost unbelievably that she was now facing her best friend’s sister, so it turned out that it was familiar to her
“Yes big sister, I thought you would recognize me.”
“Earlier I thought you were familiar with me in case I just don’t really remember. It’s been so many years.”
“Yeah you are right. It’s been a year.” she says bitterly
“How are you? Are you with your parents?”
“I’m slowly moving on with the loss of my older brother and about our parent they’re okay, they’re still in Korea and taking care of business.” She answer
“It’s good to know that they’re okay. I also miss them, and about what happened to Daven I apologized for it Marga, I know it’s my fault why he died.”
“I’m sure they miss you too. Don’t blame yourself, it’s my brother’s decision to save you. Right Monique? So don’t blame yourself.”
I looked at Monique because I noticed that she was quiet and didn’t say much, as if she wanted to say something but she couldn’t. I didn’t even ask because maybe she was just tired.
A few more minutes passed and we just chatted before I decided to say goodbye to leave because maybe Storm was looking for me too.
“Ahm, Nique and Marga I need to go, maybe my son is already waiting for me.”
“Oh sure, let’s hang out again soon. I would love to meet your son.” Margaux said while smiling
“All right Jew, be careful.” Monique said.
Monique just stared at the chair Jewel had left. Earlier she was restless because she didn’t think they would meet here and Margaux was still with her
“She looks so happy.” Marga suddenly promised so she immediately looked at the woman beside her
“You know what Marga, you can stop pursuing what you’re planning.”
“What? Now you will say that when everything is okay, huh?” she greeted her teeth
“Do you think when Daven is still alive he will be happy with what you are doing? No Marga, he will not be happy seeing you like this and planning to hurt his best friend.”
“Exactly Monique! If my older brother was still alive, but not, he is gone.” she said
Monique just sighed. “This is not the right thing to do Marga. What if someone gets hurt?”
“And so? All I need is justice for my brother!”
“You don’t have to put in your hands the justice you want. Daven has been dead for a long time! The culprit has also been jailed, but why are you blaming Jewel? We know that she’s innocent, that is your brother’s decision, to save her . ”
“I don’t care! It’s still her fault why my brother died, and I will not accept the fact that she is living a happy life while I’m still mourning for my brother’s death! I won’t let that happen,” she said seriously.
“Because that’s what you chose, Marga! You’re confining yourself, you need to accept that Daven is gone and that he’ll never come back. Wake up Marga! Daven is in peace now.”
“You’re just saying that because you’re happy, because you have Cain! Is it that easy for you to forget my brother, huh?” she angry said
“Marga I will never forget Daven. I love your brother and he will always have a place in my heart. I also need to move on, I can’t stay in the past because I know Daven won’t like that either. So I’m hoping that you will change your mind and continue your living without any hatred in your heart. ”
“No matter what you say, I won’t change my mind! And you will help me, remember that you were involved in this from the beginning. You probably don’t want Cain to know everything right?” she serious promise
“You are crazy Marga! Don’t involve Cain in this shit!”
“Scared now? Because you know he’ll get mad at you or he’ll leave you when he finds out what you did, that you really plan to be friends with Jewel because you also want revenge.” she was grinning while looking at me.
“I’ve considered Jewel as a friend a long time ago.”
“You think she’ll believe you? Think Monique! You will help me no matter what happens or else you won’t like what happens.” she said
Monique was so annoyed that she stood up and walked away. Margaux was left alone.
Margaux POV
I just stared at Monique in the distance. If she thinks that she can leave me this time I will not allow her to suddenly back down from the plan we started a long time ago. I expected this to happen so that she will not be loyal to me, but I still let her with me. I just used her to fulfill my plans and after that I would also remove her from my path.
She was also one of the reasons why Daven lost time with me, since she was introduced to us she was always with my brother and Jewel who was the reason why the man I love died.
You’re right, I love Daven not as a brother, I love him as a man.
She picked up her phone and called someone.
“How is it?”
“Everything is fine madam.” answer on the other line
“Good, just make sure you don’t fail this plan because when that happens I’m going to kill you.” She seriously said
“It’s settled madam! You don’t have to worry anymore.”
“Well then, I’ll just send the payment to your bank accounts.” She said
“Thank you madam.”
She immediately put down her phone and stared at the man in her wallpaper. ‘Don’t worry my love, it’s only a matter of time before I get revenge.- she said while looking at Daven’s picture
