Christy’s POV
I stared at the girl’s face in shock and it took a few seconds to finally snap out of it.
"Kara? What are you doing here?" I asked and quickly helped her up.
Her eyes were swollen and it seed like she had been crying for quite a while now.
"Is it really you? You look so different" she said while observing my face thoroughly.
"It’s " I said as I pulled her into a hug.
I noticed that she has lost weight and was now a little skinny compared to a month ago.
"What happened to you?" I asked her with a worried expression and she started sobbing again.
"My...my Mom passed away" she said amidst sobs and I pulled her into a hug again.
I slowly rubbed her back until she beca a little calm before pulling away from the hug.
"How did you end up here?" I asked her after sitting down on the garden bench.
"My cousin works here, I ca to see her but I saw a scene of a girl crying over the boy of her dead mother and it kinda brought back mories of mine" she said while trying hard to stop her tears from spilling out.
I felt extrely sorry for her and didn’t even know what to say to console her at the mont.
"After you got Madam Collete arrested, we all lost our source of inco" she said with a sigh.
It sounded like she was blaming for her mother’s death or maybe I am the one that is reading a different aning to her words.
"Don’t get wrong Christy, I am not blaming you for anything. She deserved what she got" she quickly added when she noticed my silence.
"I didn’t get her arrested, she and Benjamin plotted against , unfortunately for them, things didn’t go accordingly to their plans and that’s why they ended up in jail" I corrected and she nodded.
"Let’s not talk about Colette anymore" she said with a smile and I agreed.
I rembered the food Curtis got and quickly opened it.
"Have sothing to eat first, we will talk more later" I said and handed her one of the packed food.
"Thanks" she said before quietly eating.
We ate in silence, there were a lot of questions I wanted to ask her but now didn’t seem like the appropriate ti to do so.
"So, what have you been up to ever since" she asked with an inquisitive expression.
" Well, I..."
"There are rumors of you dating a very rich man and that he was the one that got Benjamin and Celeste locked up with his connection" she said with a gossipy expression.
I stared at her face and decided to tell her the truth, she will find out sooner or later.
"My relationship with the rich guy is true, rember when I ca to you to borrow an outfit for a private dance?" I asked her and she nodded excitedly.
"When I got there, he told he likes and would love to date , I agreed because I had nothing to lose if he turned out to be a fraud" I narrated and she seems genuinely happy for .
I felt guilty about not telling her about the contract but on second thought, it was better I didn’t.The fewer people that know, the better for .
"You are so lucky...congratulations" she said while laughing excitedly.
"Thank you" I said with a slight smile.
"So, how is he like? Does he treat you well?" She asked with a curious expression.
"You know him, he was the one I slapped on our last outing with madam Collete" I revealed and her eyes opened wide in shock.
"Girl, that’s crazy. If I was in your position I would have definitely rejected his proposal. What if he only wants you to let your guard down before getting his revenge?" She asked different questions at once, she looked extrely worried.
"Nothing like that is going to happen" I assured her with a smile..
"Okay, as long as you are safe" she said with a deep sigh.
If soone has told that one day, Kara and I will get along and have a civilized conversation, I wouldn’t have believed.
"So, what about you?" I asked her and she sighed deeply.
"After my mom’s death, I decided to move to the capital to start a new life. My cousin took in and I have been staying with her ever since" she said and I gave her a gentle pat on the back.
Ring Ring!
Her phone suddenly started ringing and she quickly brought it out of her pocket. She picked up without even looking at the caller ID.
"Hello"
"Okay, I will be there soon"
The call was very short and when she was done, she got up from the bench.
"My cousin is waiting for outside, so I have to go now" she said to , I hugged her and offered to escort her to the outside of the hospital but she declined.
"Give your number, we will go out and talk properly next ti" she said before pulling into another warm hug.
I bade her farewell and she hurried away, she probably didn’t want to delay her cousin.
I sat back down on the bench with a smile. It was good to et soone that I know. I felt much better compared to when I left Grandpa’s room earlier.

Kara’s POV
I turned back one more ti to look at Christy. She was smiling happily and all I felt was hatred.
I want to make sure she never smiles ever again. She is the reason my mother died.
Why does she deserve to live in luxury while I suffered?
Seeing the expensive clothes on her body and the way she was glowing made so upset that I could hear my blood boiling.
I glance at her one more ti before walking out of the hospital.
I quickly spotted the black Lexus that had brought here earlier and got into it.
"How did it go? Did she believe you?" Mark asked as soon as I sat down.
"Of course, I told you it was a piece of cake" I replied to him with a lopsided smirk.
Mark ca to after my mother’s burial and promised to help get my revenge on Christy.
"That’s good, now you can sabotage her and she will never be able to guess that you are the culprit" he said with an excited expression.
"Miss Celeste, has promised to reward us handsoly if we are able to create issues between the rich guy and Christy" he reminded and I nodded.
Christy, the more miserable your life becos, the richer I will be.
