Destiny of the Substitute Bride
29. True IBL1s.

A smile spread across Jessica's face afterwards. The smile Martha had seen for decades. Smile when he managed to get rid of his greatest enemy at that time.

The feather of Martha bristles. He was well aware, this time he would not be able to run like that.

While Jessica was doing something to her mother, the sound of the roar of the car suddenly sounded. It must be Jessica's men who originally intended to invite Nora to the nursing home.

"See them and cancel the plan!" tell Jessica.

Martha who was still in shock, immediately ran out of the house, while Jessica by dragging the mother's body into the house, and put it on the bed.

"Sleep well, Mom! I told you, you'll never be able to destroy my plan!" jessica looked at Nora with a cold face. There was no look of sadness nor tears flowing down Jessica's cheeks. His heart was long dead.

Before long, Martha returned home. "They're gone" he told his employer.

"Goody!" jessica Sahut.

Martha looked at Nora's services with pushy eyes, before then turning to her mistress. "Then, what about her body, ma'am?" ask the woman.

"I already have a plan. Now that we're out of here, the rest let me do it!" jessica answered flat. "After this, I can follow my husband to Gargania calmly," he continued, still looking at Nora's stiff body.

Bella stood nervously at the door of the apartment as soon as she saw her adoptive mother coming. The woman not only came alone, but with her loyal servant, Martha.

"Where's my son?" ask the woman while barging inside.

"Sister Noah still hasn't come home from work, Ma," replied Bella. Today he did come home early because the goods had already come in the morning.

"What do you want to drink, let me make it?" Bella offered herself.

Jessica did not answer. He was busy staring around the apartment with a cynical face.

"Don't ever assume your life will be taken away from me, just like that" the woman said, turning to look at Bella. "You think living away from me can make you happy? No, stupid girl!" continued.

"It seems he thinks so, Madam! Just look, ever since she got married where she's been at home. He must have been reluctant to meet you!" Martha tried to provoke her employer.

"Ti—no, Ma. I don't want to come home, I'm just busy working for the parlor." Answer Bella.

"Liar!" Martha looked at Bella.

Bella remained silent. The girl tried to restrain herself from getting lured.

Jessica then drew closer to Bella's ears as she said, "remember, you're just a meaningless surrogate!"

Finished saying so, the woman immediately distanced herself from Bella. "Okay, say my regards to him. I can't wait here long like you. Come on, Martha, let's go!"

"Okay, Madam." Martha smiled sinisterly as she looked down on Bella.

...**********...

Early in the morning the sound of heavy equipment was heard from one of the old manicured houses. This of course makes some neighbors out of their homes, to find out what really happened.

The heavy equipment was apparently busy knocking down an old house that had long been unknown to the existence of its owner until flat. Not only that, they also cut and burned the remains of buildings that were not transported.

Somehow the story, the workers did not find any strangeness in there, such as the services of Nora who yesterday had placed Jessica in the house.

All clean. There are only old buildings that are uninhabited, as residents have known.

From a considerable distance, Jessica, who looked closed, stared at the house with a flat face.

...**********...

"You ask too many questions, Mary! I can't stand your attitude!" jason snapped as he passed away from the apartment.

"Jason, No!" sergeant Maria. Tears were once again drenching the woman's cheeks.

This is the fourth time he has had a fight with his beloved girlfriend, Jason, in one week. Obviously, the man had just returned from out of town.

I don't know why, lately Jason no longer cares so much about himself. The man rarely even spent time in their apartment, because he was busy preparing a big-screen movie that he would star in.

Jason's career began to climb further, but not with the story of his romance with Maria. Their relationship was getting colder for Maria. There is no meaningful development. The higher Jason's achievement, the harder he gets.

Mary could not hold herself back any longer. He needs Jason. He needs his lover, his first love. As a result, Maria is determined to investigate the man and seek the real answer.

"You can't be like this, Jason! Can't! I'm willing to leave my life and my future in Zernedien for you!" muttered the woman.
