Daisy frowned.

’’What? Your pristine self is unwilling to know these details? Are you scared I would taint your soul too? Or are you afraid that you will change your heart about me?" Si Yena hugged her legs and threw her head back on the couch as she laughed. She laughed till the point tears ran down her cheeks.

Then all of a sudden, she sat straight. Smilingly, she pulled up her nightgown, revealing her fair thighs. She leaned to the side and grabbed something from the coffee table at the side of the couch.

The bottle was barely the size of her little finger. And through a glass vial, a transparent liquid could be seen. She removed the lid and tilted the vial towards her thighs.

Suddenly, Si Yena’s hand was grabbed firmly. ’’What are you doing?" Daisy spoke coldly, "What even is this?"

’’This...?" Si Yena smiled wide and loosened her grip in the vial. Despite her hand being held by Daisy, she managed to drop the glass vial straight on her thighs. As that solution like liquid spread on her thighs, she continued, ’’This is the cause of that beast’s untimely death.’’

Suddenly, Daisy’s grip on Si Yena’s wrist loosened and her eyes widened at what she saw. In a matter of a few seconds, the snow-white skin of her thighs seemed to change. There were cuts and scars and burns all over that delicate skin that had looked flawless just now.

’’He raped me, in ways unfamiliar to any normal woman. And he did it again and again. Till I stopped begging him to let me live. Till I made him believe that I was in love with him and I desired nothing more than to stay with him, to give birth to his child, to worship the ground he walked on and to never seek freedom from him,’’ Si Yena shrugged, ’’He dismissed all his whores for me. But again, I became his new whore. I don’t really know why I was the chosen one but I was.’’

Daisy closed her eyes, a drop of tear rolled down the corner of her eyes.

’’Don’t pity me, Daisy,’’ Si Yena chuckled, ’’I sent him to his grave, didn’t I? The man was helpful though. When I played along to his whims, he also gave in to mine. He made the Si Family believe that I was dead. He lent me his manpower unquestioningly and he made today possible, even at the expense of himself...’’

Si Yena raised her head and glanced at the demolished mansion, ’’And I gave these people the death that they deserved. Didn’t they mess with you in the Lu Family as well? These families sucked up to them and framed you for my death, taking advantage of the barely stable situation of the Chen Family. How could I stand aside and watch you being bullied by them? I avenged you and me at the same time. You should have seen my parents...’’

’’Their disdain for me, their mightiness, all shattered as they were surrounded by the fire. Even in the face of death, my mother cursed me and looked for my brother. Guess what I did? I told her he is dead... She died with anything but peace...’’ Si Yena laughed, stroking the scars on her thighs gently. After a while, she pushed herself to her feet. Her dress slid down, covering all the wounds, ’’I have settled every score and come this far...’’

’’What about Lu Xian?"

Si Yena stiffened.

Even that reaction lasted for a brief moment but it did not go unnoticed by Daisy, ’’You had no scores to settle with him yet you are so deeply involved with him...’’

’’He liked you,’’ Si Yena turned around, ’’So, I got him muddled and moved him into fucking me, messing his mind. I was mindfucked so I did the same to him too.’’

’’When we were young, you expressed your interest in the young master of the Lu family. Not once. You would not stop babbling about the aloof boy you met in the events.’’

Si Yena laughed, ’’You think those things matter? The man who was so into you now follows me everywhere like a dog. It pleases me whenever I see it. I cannot help it at all. He doesn’t hold that much importance to me. Just a fleeting moment of interest was all that I ever felt for him.’’

Daisy pushed herself to her feet, ’’You haven’t treated me kindly, Yena. But life has been unkind to you as well. If not as a friend, as a woman, I am willing to let this go. I will forget all that has happened to this day,’’ she looked at the woman, ’’That man followed you to the US and if you have something for him, you can always start anew. If not, you can start over by yourself and throughout it all, I am willing to be there and help you if you need anything. It’s not late to turn back...’’

’’It’s too late,’’ Si Yena cut her off.

’’It’s not,’’ Daisy emphasized, ’’What you have done will get you behind the bars but I am not a saint. I have blood on my hands too. You could have done things differently but they built this side of you... I still remember the young girl who talked to me when nobody did, who offered me I should leave everything and come stay with her when my family was breaking down. I don’t know when you started hating me but I had never hated you...’’

Tears rolled down Si Yena’s cheeks.

’’If you stop here, things would be...’’

’’I cannot. I told you it’s too late...’’ The sound of urgent footsteps sounded at the door at this moment, ’’I will take my revenge and you know what the best part is?"

An uneasy feeling rose in Daisy’s chest when suddenly Si Yena grabbed her hand and turned towards the main door of the mansion, ’’My last target is finally here.’’

Daisy’s heart dropped.
