71.Angela was still talking to the director with a smile on her face because she had won; or so she thought.By now, the waters had been asked to bring in the food and Angela was sure that Macy was a no show.She was surprised when she saw the director not listening to her and stand up with his eyes to the door."Macy? What are you doing here?" Angela forgot where she was and shouted when she saw the woman at the door."Isn't she supposed to be here?" The assistant director asked."Oh, sorry. What I... I mean..." Angela began."Macy darling, welcome.I was sad there for a while because I thought you had ignored my invitation even though it was given very late," the director said as he walked towards Macy and held her hand to help her descend the small flight of stairs to the center of the room."You look gorgeous girl.But why does this style look familiar?It really does...." the woman who was the assistant director said as she looked at Macy who had now stopped and looked at everyo

72. The lunch went well and finally, it was time to go and meet the entertainment journalists who were eagerly waiting.As was given, Angela had already hinted to some of them through the manager that Macy would be missing and they were ready with articles that would be published on social media minutes after the conference ended all directed towards showing the world what a bad and proud actress Macy was.Angela had also made sure to buy a water army that would escalate the story to a point that it would be among the trending topics of that day.So, one can imagine the surprise they received when they saw Macy walk in hand in hand with the man who had played the king in the play.They were talking animatedly and as was given, Angela didn't like it because it should have been her who was where Macy was.She also hated the fact that Macy literally shone throughout the room without any effort because her dress was the most eye catching and the fact that she hadn't worn a lot of makeup

73. Angela looked as Macy took a sip of her drink and smiled.She hadn’t though that it would be this easy to get Macy. Angela hand t even slept thinking of ways to get Macy to do her bidding and humiliate her in a way that would make sure that Macy would never rise again.The last time Angela dealt with Macy, Macy was sent to study abroad and her name that had been added to the Philips family registry had been struck out and she had been told to continue using her foster parents’ surname, Smith.This time, Angela wanted to make sure that Macy would be run out of Washington by her parents and the media and that she would go back to Connecticut with her tail between her legs.“This city can only have one queen and that is only me,” Angela had said to her new manager as she gave her money to buy people who would sleep with Macy and call media houses who would come and stream the action live. As they talked with Angela making small talk and Macy sipping her drink, Angela’s heart was on

73. Macy walked out and a few minutes later, two men came and carried Angela out of the room and left the others there to do as they pleased but not before May made sure that they were being filmed and the free video aired to the whole world to see what they were capable of.Macy knew that if Angela was with the group, her family would do all it took to find out where they were and stop it.She knew that her father could even buy out all the media outlets filming it so as to make sure that it wasn’t filmed.They then would blame it all on Macy and make sure that they brought her down so as to clear Angela’s face.Macy wanted to give Angela a blow that she would never recover from.Hers was going to be a special interview that even the Philips family wasn’t going to rise up from.Macy took the antidote May had brought and gave it to Angela who, a few minutes later, regained her consciousness and she looked relieved although she was still in pain.She had just been through an intense un

75. Macy looked at Angela who seemed to relive the moment she learnt that Mr. Philips wasn’t her biological father.“I couldn’t believe it and I thought that that doctor had made a mistake and I went to the teacher and showed her the results.She said that we would redo it and it came back with the same results four times! Four times! Imagine that! Four fucking damned times.You know what the teacher told me?” Angela asked as she tried to stand up again and she fell down on her ass and hissed.Macy didn’t move from where she was seated as she watched her struggle again to get up and sit on the bed.Macy knew that it would take at least four to five hours for Angela to start feeling her mortal skills again but Macy didn’t tell her that.Angela sat down with difficulty and breathed in and out hard as if she had just scaled a mountain.“No. Tell me what the teacher told you,” Macy probed as she answered the question Angela had asked.Angela looked at Macy and laughed. She produced a man

76. “Me? Get caught?Who do you think you are talking to?I am Angelica Yuan Philips!The first daughter of the Philips family and the heir to the Philips empire.I am the most beloved of my parents and they all, including that idiot I call a husband, eat from the palm of my hands.Hear that?They all believe in me.Come on Macy,” Angela changed her voice and adopted the innocent one she usually used before other, “do you think that anyone would believe that I would do anything bad? I can’t even kill a mouse let alone a person.Ha ha ha!” She said and laughed hysterically until she laid on her back on the bed.After she had laughed to her fill, she rose up again and faced Macy.“And do you know why I am telling you all this?” She asked and Macy shook her head.“Please, enlighten me,” Macy said and by this time, she was genuinely shocked.This isn’t what she had bargained for.This was like investing in the shares market projecting a profit of 1.02% but then getting a hundred percent

77. As Macy was being dragged away by Richard, what she did not know was that she had created quite the stir in DC as a whole.When she was doing it, she wanted to just shame Angela and make people hate her and at least let everyone know that Angela was a fake but what she hadn’t banked on was the fact that it was now going to be a police case.She and May had called some tabloid journalists and they had put a small microphone on Macy and whatever she and Angela were discussing was being transformed through video and audio.At the start of the broadcast, only a few hundred people were tuned n but word spread like bush fire when people realized that the famous actress the tabloids had talked about was actually Angelica Philips.No one could believe that the woman who had an angelic smile just like her name was a devil reincarnate.If they hadn’t seen and heard it by and for themselves, they would have thought that someone somewhere wanted to tarnish the name of the queen.If Macy had

78. “Hello?” May picked the call for she was the one who received and it was a new number.They had expected that when people started watching the live broadcast, those who knew Macy like the Philips family would start calling her and as such, Macy left her phone with May.At this time, Richard had already arrived and he was standing next to May outside the room where Macy and Angela were as they watched what was happening on the phone.“Hello, I want to talk to Macy please,” Andy said when he realized that the one who had received his call wasn’t Macy.“She isn’t available at the moment,” May answered and as she was about to hang up, she heard the name.“Tell her it’s Andy,” Andy said and May looked at Richard.“Who is it?” Richard asked.“Andy,” May said simply and she put the phone on Richard’s outstretched hand.“Hello?” Richard said as he put the phone to his ear. “Who is this?” Richard asked though he already knew it was.“I am the one who should be asking you that question.

79. "Andy baby, how are you?" The Jones matriarch asked as she encompassed her son in a hug.Andy bend and laid his head on his mother's shoulder and he felt like he had a million and one things to tell her but he didn't even know where to start.He relished her warmth for a while and then raised his head."Are you okay?" Mrs Jones asked as she looked at him.Andy looked at his mother and felt tears sting his eyes and his nose.He looked upwards and breathed in and when he looked at his mother again, he had a small smile on his lips though it didn't reach his eyes."I am well mama. I am well," he said as he walked past her into the house.He didn't want her to see him she'd tears.He had tried not to get hurt by all that he heard Angela say but there was no helping it.He could still not believe that Macy was right all along.Andy always thought that Macy was jealous of them as Angela always said but now, he knew better.He walked into the living room and found his father who was sitt

I want the damned bitch dead!Oh my goodness.My baby boy.My baby boy.Mama is so sorry.I swear I didn't know.How could I have known?"On the other side of the city, things were worse in the Philips home.All along, they had been lying to the Philips matriarch that it was Macy who didn't want to come back home.They told the old lady that Macy had refused to stay in the same house with Angela and when she tried asking Macy, Macy just went with the flow for she didn't want to worry her grandma.She also knew that if she told the old lady the truth, the other family members, her parents to be precise, would deny everything and back up their adoptive daughter whom Thwy treated better than their real one.Macy didn't want to argue with them and she was waiting for the right moment to drop the bomb and this was better than she had expected though she didn't know that she would also revisit old wounds at the same time."But she might be under the influence of a d
