Sarah canon had been all tears ever since she appeared at the side of her sick father, who was still unconscious all this while. Mable who was standing aside, her arms in the waist and her face holding thunders and brimstone over the embarrassment and stress she had gone through just for the sake of Sarah , writhed in pains and disappointment.
Earlier before they drove down to the hospital, they took the diamond ring to another diamond merchant nearby town and the diamond ring was confirmed to be fake for the second time. In fact the merchant warned Sarah against putting up such useless metal for sale because she could be arrested for it.
Mabel groaned within her recess. She wondered why Sarah was all tears despite proven to be the folly. She had never been so embarrassed in her entire life and she least expected Sarah behaving like an ass; she was yet to accept her fate.
“Oh father, this is too much for me to bear. We have lost everything. I never knew I was up against Brian Patrick. I thought a regular billionaire proposed marriage to me. I thought true love was smiling back at me after going through toxic relationship with Joseph…” she snapped , wiped her tears and sniffed hugely before she wailed on, “I never knew Brian Patrick was Mike Don.” Once she held out the diamond engagement ring, she stuttered, “Oh… I ….” She sniffed, as her lips trembled.
Mable paced to her side the moment her wailing engulfed her so hugely that she barely could speak fluently. She patted her on the shoulders and nursed her even when there was no stopping her.
She continued amidst wailing, “I thought Mike Don came for real. I was hell over him. Any lady would have done worse than me. I thought we were in love with each other.” She squeezed the warm, wrinkled arms of the father, “I never knew he came for vengeance. I never knew the Brian Patrick in him was yet to forgive me of all the ill maltreatment I brought upon him…” Her voice snapped as she sniffed and sobbed uncontrollably.
“Come on Sarah, you just have to stop wailing. Chin up and move on with your life. It is very obvious you can’t date the world richest man ,” Mabel echoed and paused her lips the moment Sarah shot a menacing stare at her, “Yes of course dear, why are you giving me that look? Am I not making sense? Do you know who Mike Don is?”
Sarah barked at her, “And who the hell is Mike Don that I can’t date him? Answer me, Mabel, I don’t know why everyone sees Mike Don as some god of wealth. Come on, is it because he found his true identity? And the next moment if I say Mike Don once begged me money you all will doubt me.”
Mabel placed a finger on her lips, “Shhh, you have to say what you can prove. All your life I have known you as the boastful type of person. How dare you lie that Mike Don once begged you money! Do you realize he is the world richest man now? Listen up Sarah if you lie about any other thing I would believe you but you telling me Mike Don once begged you money is a no-no for me. Listen up, that man is not just rich, but he is so influential, cute and an immaculate giver who has helped countless people out of poverty. No wonder all the pretty ladies fight to court him…”
Sarah lost the verve to shed tears as she became very infuriated at Mabel. She wiped her tears and barked at Mabel. “Keep shut, dope! Do I need to remind you who my father is in Rio Hondo? I am not going to force you to believe me. I know Brian Patrick to the very boss he worked for, Morgan Harris. Brian Patrick was his delivery boy and even, siphoned fifteen billion dollars in the name of the Morgan Group. Who knows perhaps, it is such money he used to become rich…”
Mabel burst into a radical offensive laugh, “There you go again. Everybody knows Mike Don, is the true heir of the richest consortium, the Saint Don Group. Come on, dear it is all glaring. A lion begets a lion. His father was once the world richest man and when he took over his father, he doubled his net worth and became so rich that pretty ladies like Sarah wail over him…”
A quarrel was opened and both girls snarled at each other in an angry manner.
Through clenched teeth Sarah yelled at her, “Moron! Oh I see. Noow you mock me because I wail over my heartbreak, uh. I know haters like you believe I told a lie when I broke news of Mike Don engaging me with a diamond ring. I know you are envious of me because Mike Don courted me and wanted to make me his wife.”
Mabel interposed with a brief chortle which burnt Sarah so much that she had to pause and curve her lips in wrath, “Why would I be envious of a failed relationship ? You are only mad over Mike Don because he is the world richest man today. Perhaps I believe you wouldn’t hound around him if he were a poor ragged delivery boy. If I were you I would hide my face forever because you were fooled with a fake diamond ring because you are fake…”
Sarah grinned in irritation. Her gaze came upon the diamond ring once again and she commanded; “Now I see the kind of friend you are. I thought you were going to sympathize with me after my heart break.”
Mabel snapped at her, “Keep shut, Sarah. Isn’t it obvious Mike Don doesn’t want you. Mike Don is just too busy for a bankruptcy heiress like you. Mike is the most sorted trillionaire all over the world. The ladies want him and you know what, he is happily married to Clara Roham, the rightful owner of the fashion home, which you claim he bought for you. Sarah think about your life. Mike has reduced you to nothing…” she emphatically pointed at a piece of dirty torn paper on the floor.
She picked up her handbag and turned to leave.
Sarah barked, “Get the hell out of my presence, dope ass! Get out!” she pointed at the door.
Mabel felt raptured within herself. She hissed, rolled her eyes at her and stamped away in fury. Just then Sarah broke down in tears.
Her gaze came upon her father, who was still drowning in coma, “I am sorry father for disobeying you. I sold the cars and mansion against your advice. Mike Don never wanted to marry me. He has finally avenged for the ill-treatment I brought upon him.” she sniffed and sobbed in a trembling manner. “Oh I regret my actions father!” she held his palms once again and stroked gently, “In my next life I would never maltreat the poor. I would show some love and art of benevolence to everyone that comes my way”
She fell upon her knees and molded her arms to pray amidst tears, “Oh God please soften the heart of Mike Don, so he could have a rethink and help us with the one trillion dollars.” She sniffed, “We have lost it all. I can’t believe father is till unconscious. Had it been I treated Mike nicely he would have helped us today…” she wailed, pulled out the diamond ring and tossed it through the window.
So much regret hung over her now that she couldn’t stop wailing and reminiscing how I approached her for help as a poor delivery boy..
Now the table had turned…
More vengeance ahead…
