Chapter 6: Chapter 6

“Welcome to [Cancer Research Charity] Welcome to our 3rd Annual Report Leadership Conference. Today, we will discuss the results of our Charity Project for this year. Of course, everyone is welcome. They also encouraged people to pitch in. Also, individuals who wish to support and give to those people who want to live longer.” The emcee announces.

I’m here today at the charity conference where Adonis intends to implement the first plan. He directed me here since this is supposed to be Cole’s focus this year, assisting cancer patients so that more people can support him. Adonis suggests that to gain Cole’s attention and become close to him, we should compete with what he has—to what he wants.

It’s been a month since they operated my face on. I think nothing has changed. The first point to mention is the eyes; they just layer my eyelids. To look more mature, they made my lower lip thick. They slightly pointed at the nose while the cheekbone was enlarged. Only my hair changed. They have replaced my formerly long black hair with white. I believe they dye it. It was too much white to the point people who will see think that it was just wig hair.

The micro earpiece sounded in my ear when I answered; Adonis speaks. He gave it to me so that I could keep him up to speed on what was going on. He claimed he couldn’t get in here, so he’d simply help me with what I needed to accomplish. I’m not sure why, and I don’t want to become involved; I want to focus on my vengeance.

“What exactly is going on?” That was the first question Adonis posed to me.

He is currently in his company. The first thing he said was, “I’m coming here” after we planned the first strategy. I was hesitant to come here at first, but if I desired revenge, I must be courageous.

“They are starting now. One by one, those who helped the charity are introduced.” I looked around in fear that someone would hear me. I lower my voice as much as possible because I got in here without even an invitation. I also don’t know how Adonis did it.

“When they give an amount about how much they donate to charity. Just listen. Focus on the amount. When the donation will not be raised anymore, go down there and show the check pad I gave you. Write the amount you need to write to get Cole’s attention.” I listened intently to what he was saying as my eye focused on the stage.

I saw Cole speaking on stage, so I cut off what Adonis was saying, but I didn’t turn off the call. “He’s talking.” I went down the stairs where I was then joined by the women, laughing and listening. When they saw me, their faces were astonished.

They looked at me from head to toe. I smiled at them and then took the margarita from a waiter who also turned to me. I smiled at him to thank him. My gaze also went to the front where Cole was. He happily talks about charity but it seems like my ears just throb every time I remember he is the reason my family died! He takes everything away from me! While drinking the margarita, I listened to his fake words.

“You know that my heart is close to people who are sick. Sometimes I wish I could have been a doctor or a good experimenter. I want to find a cure for people with cancer or other illnesses.” Everyone applauded what he said. I dropped the margarita and clapped as well. Because my hair was weird, they all looked at me because my applause seemed to be amplified.

When he looked at me, I did the first thing Adonis told me to get his attention.

Number 1: Smile at him so sweetly and give him a gentle look, as if you believe what he is saying.

When I saw him stare at me for a moment, I smiled while he was still in front of the mic. I gave Adonis’ second advice.

Number 2: Put the runaway hairs on your ears and smile sideways to better see the angle of the face.

I knew I looked stupid at what I was doing, but I kept going, anyway. The women next to me are also starting to whisper. I still see a few who don’t take their eyes off of me and also focus on what I’m doing.

Number 3: Adjust the clothing and pretend that something is showing. Rub the legs and pretend it hurts.

Since I was just standing there, I pretended my knees hurt, and they were giving up. My hair fell out when I bent down, so I put it back behind my ears. When I had finished what I had to do, I stood up straight again as if nothing had happened. He also continued what he was saying, and that’s where the donations started.

“And because of this. Help me give hope to children, adults, or anyone else who still wants to see the beauty and serenity of the world. Help me show them that nothing will stop them from dreaming!” After he said that, my gaze became dark on him.

If only I could skin him alive now, I would. If only I could reveal what he did to my parents! If I had just enough evidence now, I would show to that world that he is a snake that changes skin. At the edge of my stare on him, it disappeared when he suddenly faced me. I quickly replaced it with a smile in my eyes.

He had already given the emcee the mic and the show off of the rich had already begun on how much they would give. He was just standing next to the emcee as the business executives sitting at the tables began to raise checks.

The first to raise a hand was the old woman. Her hair is white, but she looks like one of Cole’s fools. Cole applauded him, so everyone followed with applause.

“$ 50,000 for them. I want them to experience what I have experienced. I want them not to stop dreaming.” The woman sat down after he said that.

They donated many more until the last one was $ 300,000. I think that’s still small when used for children suffering from cancer. I saw no one donate big, so I pulled out the check Adonis had given me. Maybe he won’t know how much I put in here, right? I hope so...

I raised my hand as I was already writing the number on the check. Even though I wrote it, I still seem to be overwhelmed by the number of 0 nuns.

Everyone looked at me. I walked over to the emcee, then handed the check. He even widened his eyes at how much that paper contained. Cole walked over to the emcee. When he saw the check he looked at me with warm eyes. The edge of his lip rose and then the emcee moved so that he could speak.

“There is someone who wants to help the people we want to help. I hope she has a warm welcome for the people I have been with within the business world for a long time. ”

He hadn’t finished speaking when someone answered to ask. “How much did she give?”

Cole looked there first, then at me. His grin didn’t go away. So I was encouraged that everything would be easier with Adonis and I’s plan. In the middle of my thought, he said suddenly how much was in the check.

“$1,000,000.”
