Love Knows No Bounds

"Mrs. Zorn," Kelly greeted politely. However, all she gained in return was one tight slap. It caught her by surprise. She didn't expect Jacqueline to toss all decorum behind and go straight for violence. It was too late to dodge, and the slap landed. The loud smack echoed through the air, and she could feel a burning sensation on her cheek.

John and the guards were stupefied. They had no idea who Jacqueline was, but anyone who could drive a car as expensive as hers must be a big shot. They wondered what kind of beef she had with Kelly.

Kelly held her swollen cheek, fury welling in her eyes, but she remained composed. "What did I do to deserve this, Mrs. Zorn? Tell me, please."

Jacqueline pointed at her, roaring, "I told you to leave my son alone! I'd rather have him go his whole life single and unmarried if the alternative is you! Have some shame, will you? You're pregnant with Jackson's kid. Now that he's going to jail, you broke up with him and hooked up with my son. He's not going to be the father of another man's child. As long as I am alive, you're never marrying him, you b*tch!"

I can't believe it! Jacqueline used to think Kelly was a decent girl, but what happened after that proved her wrong. Horribly wrong. All this time, Kelly had been playing hard to get so her son would remain in love with her. He was merely her backup plan all along. If Kelly had chosen Brian in the first place, Jacqueline wouldn't have gotten so mad, but alas, there were no ifs in this situation.

"We're only talking about business, Mrs. Zorn. Nothing more, nothing less."

"As if. I know you two are hooking up behind my back. I'm not stupid, Kelly. Do you want me to show you the proof?"

Kelly froze for a moment. "I'm telling the truth, and it's up to you to believe it or not. Also, it takes two to tango. You keep saying I'm seducing your son, but in fact, he's the one who comes to me first most of the time. Why don't you try asking him about it and see if I'm speaking the truth?"

"Why you little…" Jacqueline was furious, but she couldn't argue about that. She knew how much Brian loved Kelly. Kelly might be a shameless whore, but her son was a stupid git blinded by love. Hate to admit it, but she's right. It takes two to tango.

"Mrs. Zorn, I'm letting this slide because you're Brian and Yasmine's mother. But next time, watch your tongue. I have to go now."

She saw Kendall and Amelia coming out of the building, and John was waiting outside the company. They saw everything. Her face was black as thunder when she realized that. Refusing to argue with Jacqueline any further, Kelly went back to her car and honked at her, telling her to move.

Jacqueline cursed, "Damn that b*tch." She moved away in the end.

Kelly stepped on the pedal and came to the company's entrance. The guard opened the door, and she drove into the parking lot. When she passed by Kendall, it took her all just to stay calm. She saw me getting humiliated! Her hatred for Kendall deepened further.

Even now, she still didn't have the drugs she told Brian to get, and his excuse was that the doctor was nowhere to be found. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow and setting up a record. Then, I'll find out where to get the drugs. Contraceptives are easy to come by. I can get a ton of them from the pharmacy.

But I still don't have a good candidate to help me out with the poisoning. I can't infiltrate the Colemans. Well, I can slip the drug into her food or drinks when Kendall goes back to our parents' place, but the effect won't be as effective if the poison isn't given regularly.

Oh, wait. John! He sees her every day now. I think he can sneak some pills into her water or soup. The more contraceptives she takes, the harder she can get pregnant, and maybe she'll be barren, too. But I have to ask Brian about this. After all, he hired John. John's working for him.

"She did not look happy," Amelia remarked.

"Nobody's going to look happy when they're slapped," said Kendall.

"She deserved that, though. Good thing you snapped out of it early. If you had dated Jackson longer than you did, you might have been the one suffering now. Just look at what he did to Kelly. He's a scum, and he almost killed your brother. You have got to make sure you ruin his life. Send him to prison for years."

Kendall growled, "Naturally. And it's not like Kelly's the victim, either. This is probably the consequence of her actions." If the gods hadn't given me a chance to rewrite history, I would've ended up worse than her.

"Yeah, it's what she gets for all her scheming. Jacqueline is not one to be trifled with. There's no way she can marry Brian now." Amelia gleaned a bit of satisfaction from Kelly's tragic end.

Hey, Brian might be using her as well. Maybe he's getting back at her for using him as a backup plan. Once he gets tired of her, he's going to ditch her. Someone like Brian must be bothered by how badly Kelly treats him.

Once the ladies went a bit further, John came up to them, smiling. "Ms. Parker."

"Thanks for your patience, Mr. Read."

"Of course."
