Chapter 32: You get what you deserve
After Alexandra and Nathaniel had a fallout over Olivia and parted ways,
Alexandra hasn't been able to stop thinking about it. Closing her eyes, intending nothing more than to slowly drift to sleep, her mind keeps drifting off to the scene with Nathaniel. Playing and replaying every moment drove her crazy and she just couldn't take it anymore.
The night may be young and even though she wanted her beauty sleep,
Alexandra couldn't get it since Nathaniel won't stop invading her mind. Standing up, she stretches her body, walking out of the room into the dark hallway, flipping the switches so as not to trip and fall.
Alexandra walks down the stairs, hearing sobbing tears coming from the dining room as she enters the living room. A lot of things run through her mind, and she wonders who was crying, abruptly halts as she comes in contact with Veronica sitting in the dining room, drinking and weeping bitterly. Alexandra rolls her eyes, aware of what had eaten her up. Her family were such drama queens whenever it came to Olivia, they make it seem like a big deal when it is not and when it comes to her, no one cares, all they do is maltreat her but all that didn't bother her for what she wanted so badly was just Revenge.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Veronica gulps down her glass of wine, lifting her eyes, and meets Alexandra's gaze, her eyes filled with a lot of emotions.
"Oh is you" She sighs, tirelessly
"Is midnight and you are drinking"
"Mind your own business, you are in no place to ask me such a question"
"True but shouldn't you be sleeping?"
"What about you Alexandra? Why are you still awake? Isn't it past bedtime for young people like you"
"I came to get water, couldn't sleep"
Veronica scoffs, pouring another glass of wine. "Tell me about it. Have your water and leave, do not disturb me"
Nodding her head affirmatively, Alexandra enters the kitchen, walking towards the she pours a glass of chilled water, gulping it down, lowers the glass, running her hand through her hair.
"Nathaniel I bet you are sleeping soundly like a baby" she seethes and leaves.
As she walks past Veronica, Alexandra halts. "Alcohol isn't good for you, is past midnight"
"Shut up, who are you to lecture me? Didn't I tell you to leave once you've had your water"
"I have and was leaving but I couldn't bear to see you this way again, you were crying earlier and now you are crying as well. What happens tomorrow? Will you be drinking and crying as well?"
"Is not like it should bother you"
"It bothers me, how many times do I have to tell you that?"
Veronica rolls her eyes and takes a sip of her wine. "Get lost"
"Why are you crying? I don't get it, no one died, or did someone die and I know nothing about it, is it Olivia? Is she dead?" She gasped, dramatically.
Hearing those words, Veronica lowers her glass and Alexandra smiles inwardly aware that she had stroked a nerve.noveldrama
"What did you just say?"
"Did someone die?"
"Before that"
"I don't get it, no one died"
"After that"
"Did someone die and I know nothing about it"
"After that"
"Is it Olivia? Is she dea
"Are you out of your mind? Are you wishing for my daughter to die?"
"How will I wish death against my sister?"
Veronica laughs, seeing right through her. "Your sister, since when did you care about her so much?"
"I've always cared about her, is you who haven't been seeing it"
"You are a liar"
"I'm not, I'm concerned about you and Olivia. But wait, what happened to Olivia?
Is she sick? Why are you weeping?"
"Stop acting like you don't know!" Veronica snaps
"Know what?". Alexandra asks, curious.
"Are you saying you didn't know your sister was attacked by rogues"
"Rogues?" Alexandra gasps, feigning to be shocked. "Omo! This is bad, how did this happen? What happened? Where was she going? Did they injure her? Where on earth did those rogues come from?"
"Stop asking those ridiculous questions and leave me alone. How on earth am I supposed to know where they came from"
"But how can they beat Olivia, I thought she is a strong beta, she should have fought them off" she mocks
Veronica chuckled. "Fight them off"
"Yes. Isn't that what you always say, she's one of the strongest betas in the pack. What if our pack members get to know about this? This is so humiliating?"
"Humiliating? You should be thankful she's still alive"
"Alive? I thought she was already dead that's why you are weeping so mournfully"
Veronica breathes out, almost losing her mind from her thoughtless lines
"Aren't you a little too much?"
"How?"
"Forget it just leave" Veronica burst into tears startling Alexandra.
"Stop crying mom, at least she's alive, we should be thankful"
"Get out of here!" Veronica yells "Do you think I can't see right through you? You call what those rogues did to her being thankful, they nearly killed her. Her fragile body must have suffered a lot in their hands"
"She's still alive and that's enough, we can't kill ourselves, we can only hope those rogues get the punishment that they deserve"
"Shut up your mouth" Veronica stands up "I know what you are doing"
"What am I doing?"
"You're rejoicing, inwardly you are jumping triumphantly over my daughter's dilemma, or do you think you can come here and act all concerned, trying to deceive me? You can't!"
"I'm just been concerned, I don't get why you think I'm not genuine, maybe is guilt speaking but I will never wish for something bad to happen to Olivia and I don't want you to fall sick, you've been crying"
"Get out I said!" Leave me alone" she raises her voice
"If that is what you want then I will leave but please don't stay up late and get some rest. Goodnight"
"Get out!!" She screams and Alexandra scurries off
