Let's see if you wouldn't be able to raise money to save yourself from rotting in jail after I reveal to Karina that you attempted to end her life.” Amira's eyes narrowed as she listened to Linda's threat, her heart pounding with fear and anger. "You wouldn't dare," she shot back, her voice trembling slightly despite her attempt to sound confident. Linda smirked, a malicious glint in her eyes. "Oh, I would, and you know it," she retorted, her tone dripping with menace. "You think you can stop me, but you're just as trapped as I am. Maybe even more." Amira's jaw clenched as she fought to keep her composure. "You won't dare do such a thing because you'd go down too," she insisted, though doubt gnawed at her mind. “You're bluffing.” Linda's smirk widened, her grip on the gun tightening. "Am I?" she taunted cryptically before turning on
Trying to act dauntless, Amira steadied herself and stated, “You shouldn't dare lay a finger on my Aidan." “Oh oh, yes, maami," Linda purred, rubbing a fist around her eyes dramatically before she cocked the gun. Amira tensed up, knowing her life could be snuffed out in an instant if Linda pulled the trigger. “Okay. Take it easy, Linda. You shouldn't do this here. You can't even kill me and go scot-free…” Amira's voice wavered as Linda burst into laughter before lowering her gun. "Really, why? Do you think Aidan will come chasing after me after I kill you? Come on, he's certainly not going to care about your dead body after he gets to know how much you want his beloved Karina dead.” Amira's brows knit together in frustration. "It's me over Karina…" “Oh shut up, if that was the case, then the fool wouldn't have jumped in to save Karina just when I was about to run her over.” Amira sighed, realizing the truth in Linda's words, and nodded in admittance. “Maybe he was a fool, but he
Amira's heart sank as she heard Raymond's voice, mixed with fear and confusion. "Raymond?" she gasped, her eyes widening in shock as she noticed the gun pointed at his head. "What's going on?”Before Raymond could respond with a baffled expression, he got hit on the head with the gun and collapsed. Her mind raced with thoughts of escape, but her body froze with terror as the figure revealed their identity.As the mask was removed, revealing Linda's face, Amira's shock turned to disbelief. "Linda, it's you?" she gasped, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and betrayal.
Aidan merely shook his head, his resolve unwavering as he stepped out into the unknown. As the door closed behind him, leaving Amira alone in the empty room, she couldn't suppress the wave of fear and uncertainty that washed over her, leaving her trembling on her knees in despair. Amira's frustration simmered as she paced the room, her mind swirling with anger and regret. "That Karina is a wretch!" she exclaimed, her voice echoing off the sterile walls. She clenched her fists, feeling a surge of resentment coursing through her veins. Meanwhile, Aidan sat in the taxi, his thoughts consumed by the events of the past hours. As the car navigated through the busy streets, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease gnawing at him. His gaze flickered to the hooded figure lingering at the hospital gate, but he quickly dismissed it, his focus fixed on his destination. Arriving at his destination, Aidan stepped out of the taxi, his heart pounding with anticipation. He made his way toward the
Amira's fake smile faltered as Aidan confronted her with a chilling intensity. "What's wrong, Aidan?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly."Why did you want to kill Karina?" Aidan's voice was low and accusatory, his eyes burning with anger.Amira's heart raced as she denied the accusation, her mind racing for a plausible explanation. "I-I don't know what you're talking about, Aidan," she stammered, attempting to caress his face in a gesture of comfort.But before her hand could touch his skin, Aidan jerked away, his movements abrupt and aggressive. With a swift motion, he ripped the cannula from his hand and slammed her against the wall, causing her to cry out in pain.Shocked and in agony, Amira gazed up at him, fear and confusion clouding her eyes. "Aidan, please," she pleaded, her voice quivering. "I swear, I didn't do anything."Aidan's grip tightened, his expression hardening as he leaned in closer, his voice a menacing whisper. "Don't lie to me, Amira," he warned, his tone l
Martha's sarcastic remark stung, but Karina maintained her composure. "My marriage with Aidan had its challenges, like any relationship. But I prefer not to dwell on the past." With a firm tone, she made her boundaries clear. "With all due respect, I'd appreciate it if we don't discuss Aidan or the Algernon family. I've moved on, and I'd like to keep it that way." "Alright, dear niece. But time shall tell.” Hana's muttered response hinted at skepticism, but Karina chose to ignore it. She knew that time would indeed tell, but for now, she was determined to focus on the present and protect her newfound peace of mind while getting back at the Algernon family, especially Aidan for what he put her through. Revenge was still her priority. Martha, not relenting, jabbed lightly, “Karina is really rubbing the family's name in the mud and might do worse in the future.” Zora's voice cut through the tension in the room, firm and authoritative. "Martha, that's enough. We won't allow anyone to
It was Karina. As she entered the room, Gina's anxiety spiked, her heart pounding with the fear that Karina had overheard their conversation. Karina's stern expression only heightened Gina's unease, and she exchanged a nervous glance with her mother. "Gina," Karina called out, her tone serious, as she approached them. Hana leaned in towards Gina, muttering under her breath, "I didn't do it." Gina hesitated, torn between her loyalty to her mother and her growing concern over Karina's demeanor. With a deep breath, she began, "Sorry, Karina. I can explain..." Before Gina could elaborate, Karina cut her off, her brows furrowing in concern. "Is there a problem?" Gina glanced at her mother, who had turned away, before turning back to Karina with a hint of confusion in her eyes. "What's wrong? I just came back to retrieve a file I forgot for the company, and I happened to overhear your conversation. Is everything alright?" Karina's voice was gentle, but there was an underlying tension i
Anita stiffened at Lucas's accusation, her eyes widening in disbelief. "I did not do that! Why would I want to kill Karina?" she protested, shaking her head vigorously.Lucas's expression hardened, his tone cold and threatening. "You're lying, Anita. If you don't confess, I'll call the cops and let them force the truth out of you."Fear flashed in Anita's eyes at the mention of the police. "You wouldn't do that to your own sister, would you?" she pleaded.Lucas's demeanor remained resolute. "Step-sister," he corrected sharply. "And at this point, our relationship means nothing to me. Either you start talking, or I'm dialing 911."Anita hesitated, her mind racing with the consequences of her actions. Finally, she relented with a defeated sigh. "Okay, fine," she conceded. "I'll tell you the truth."Lucas released her arm, his impatience evident in his posture. "Then start talking," he demanded, his voice tinged with urgency.Amira took a moment to compose herself, her breathing labored
With a calm demeanor, Karina brushed off Wally's remarks and bid farewell with a smile that betrayed her true emotions. "What a disappointment she turned out to be," Wally grumbled, watching Karina drive away. She turned to her grandmother, sarcasm dripping from her words. "I hope you see now that Karina is far from innocent. She's a master manipulator." Grandma Lila waved off Wally's comments, her gaze shifting to Xander, who looked puzzled. "Who do you think she was referring to?" he asked. Shrugging, Grandma Lila admitted, "I'm not sure. She was cryptic about it." Intrigued, Wally pressed for more information. "What exactly did Karina say?" she inquired. Grandma Lila recounted Karina's claim that someone else had poisoned her food six years ago, implicating someone other than herself. Wally scoffed at the notion. "You believe her? She's probably just spinning lies to win your favor again," she scoffed, before storming off. Alone with Xander, Grandma Lila couldn't help but feel
