A Love Trap

After struggling to get his emotions under control for some time, Ron finally replied, "I distinctly remember asking you to stay away from Ashley. But what did you do? Did you listen to me? No!"

He looked miserable. It was the first time he had spoken to Lena so harshly.

She had really crossed the line this time! Ron could barely bring himself to forgive her for what she had done to Ashley. There was no way Ashley was going forgive her for this heinous crime she committed.

He continued, "Do you even have an inkling as to what you have done? It was still just a fetus! An innocent life! Do you understand the graveness of the situation? How did you have the heart to kill it? And then you had the audacity to blame Ashley for your cruel act? Lena, what happened to you? How could you be so inhuman? How? How could you!

Tell me!" he roared.

Lena didn't even know why she held a grudge against Ashley. So it was impossible for her to analyze why she wanted to destroy her reputation.

All she knew was that she hated her from the first time she laid eyes on her. Ashley had come into her life as a threat.

And she was convinced that she was a hundred percent right about her. Ashley was indeed a threat to her well-being.

As an orphan, Ashley had arrived at their home looking filthy but after taking a shower and changing into a pretty dress, she looked more beautiful than Lena.

Once she was groomed, Ashley looked just as good as or even better than her.

Lena couldn't even remember why she had started harassing Ashley. Perhaps it was out of jealousy or maybe the real reason was something else.

Whatever it was, one thing was certain: Lena couldn't stand the thought of Ashley leading a happy, content life. She just had to ruin her peace of mind all the time.

This enmity was not so bad when they were younger, but the older Lena got, the more jealous she felt of her adopted sister. Now, her hatred for Ashley had driven her to the point of ending an innocent life to frame Ashley.

Thinking back to her childhood, Lena couldn't remember anything about it apart from devising plans to create trouble for Ashley. It was almost as if it had become her life's purpose.

Ron slammed his coffee cup on the table.

The noise jolted Lena back to the present. Seeing Ron's terrifying expression, Lena's eyes reddened.
