Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Sophia gasped awake as cold freezing water connected with her face making her jerk in her bonds before she even noticed that she was tied up to a chair. On impulse, she tried to loosen the ropes as she shook the water out of her bleary eyes, her eyes seeking for the person behind the assault.

Sharp fingers suddenly bit into her chin as she was grabbed and forced to gaze up into the crazed eyes of Jenny who was smiling smugly as she inspected her handiwork.

"I quite love this shocked look on your face Sophia, you have no idea how much it pleases me that you look so helpless right now" she drawled out, turning her chin from side to side before shoving her head back abruptly.

Sophia glared, hating the woman with every fiber of her being. "What are you trying to do? You won't get away with this".

Jenny was in her face in a heartbeat. "Is that what you think pretty face because that's exactly what is going to happen. I warned you to stay away from Lennox but you thought I was just some clingy bitch that could be ignored... Well, I don't see you ignoring me now".

"You've gone insane!". She screamed as she fought against her bindings, her ribs hurting as she twisted making her remember the accident. Had Jenny run into them on purpose. And where was Lennox, was he alright?

Jenny cackled, then sauntered away from her. "You're right Sophia. I've gone insane but it's not my fault. Lennox made me this way. He turned me into an obsessed psycho all because he keeps choosing those not worthy of his love. You are not worthy Sophia, you haven't even done half of what I did for him." She said, staring into nothing as her eyes glazed over. "I even had to kill my family for him" she confessed, turning to face her as her words hung in the balance between them. Sophia's eyes widened, her heart beating erratically at the admission that had come out of Jenny's lips.

"Yes, Sophia. I was the one who killed Melissa" she said, then burst out laughing until tears fell down her cheeks. "Damn it feels good to finally tell someone because you have no idea how much it has been eating away at my soul but it just had to be done," she said exhaling dramatically. Sophia's throat ached as she tried to process what she'd heard. Lennox had blamed himself for such a long time for causing Melissa's death when it wasn't even his fault. The reality of how cruel life was, was staring at her right in the face.

"How could you. You're a monster. You put Lennox through such hell and yet you say you deserve him, that you're the one who loves him, yet you let him suffer, you let him lose the only woman who ever made him happy, you made him blame himself all these years".

Jenny's gaze was unflinching, her voice a hiss when she spoke. "Yes Sophia, and I'm going to do it over and over again until he finally sees me. I met him first you know, but then Melissa came along and he fell for her, did anyone bother to ask me how that felt".

"Just because you met him first doesn't mean you get to have him. Do you know how fucking insane you sound".

The sound that resounded against Sophia's cheeks had blood flooding her mouth and her ears ringing.

"You don't know anything, you don't know fucking shit. Don't you dare judge me because Lennox knew how I felt about him, and so did Melissa but she choose to stab me in the back, but lucky me, I got mine back in the end even if it took a lot of scheming to make my plan flawless. The bitch had to go and so will you for falling in love with the wrong guy" she said leaning forward until her nose was almost touching Sophia's. "Shame, Lennox will be bloody devastated once more but this time I'll be right there to offer him comfort".

Sophia's gaze hardened. "People will find out, you can't have me killed and expect everything to just stay buried.. I'm already in the News, what do you think will happen if I turn up dead".

Jenny pulled back, then smiled as she pointed to a table where different objects lay strewn. Sophia could see a noose, a blade, a syringe, and a bottle of pills.

"They won't ever suspect that you were murdered if you killed yourself with your hand Sophia, ahhh, what's the term they use for this sought of thing," she said and made a show of thinking really hard. "Suicide! I'm a genius right?" She asked, her eyes twinkling as they reflected the light above them.

"You're out of your mind if you think for a second that I'm going to kill myself just to let you have your way".

"Oh, I won't bet on that! But you don't have to worry your pretty little head Sophia because I'll take care of everything like I've always done and since I'm nice cause it's not like you stabbed me in the back like that bitch Melissa, you can choose which method you'd prefer to get killed by".

Sophia stared at her incredulously. "And then you wonder why Lennox doesn't want to be with you? Maybe your crazy is so glaring that he doesn't need to know what you've done to be wary of you".

"That's not true. Lennox is just attracted to girls like you, girls who look stupid and pathetic" she fired hotly, her chest heaving and her eyes wide with anger. "His parents see it too, and that's why they're in total support of me killing you, and even if anything goes wrong, they'll cover it up so well, no one would even remember you existed." She said in spite, and Sophia gasped in shock, her heart refusing to believe that it could be true but her brain knew it was since they treated Lennox like crap even though he was their son. Jenny leaned towards her, an exultant look on her face. "How does it feel huh, to know that the parents of the man you love are the ones behind your dying. Poetic right" she asked and Sophia reared back and headbutted her right in the nose. Jenny fell back cursing as she screamed in pain, blood dripping down her nose in rivulets.

"I don't give a fuck about them because I already hate them for what they did to Lennox, this is just icing on the cake Jenny and I'll do all it takes to get justice for us, you lunatic" she screamed, and Jenny got to her feet, the blood on her lips making it look like she'd taken a bite out of human flesh.

"You fucking bitch!. I was going to be nice but not anymore. You deserve to die screaming and that's exactly what you're going to get" she promised then picked up the blade, the blood lust she felt shining through her eyes as she approached Sophia.
