CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE: YOUR PROMISE MEANS NOTHING

Mira’s POV

I didn’t know how to respond to her and I was worried that Mason might misunderstand that I wanted to harm Christy.

"Brother" I whispered and shook my head at him.

He gave me a light pat on the back and a comforting smile.

"Hello, are you there?" Celeste asked when she didn’t hear anything from my end.

"Yes, I’m listening" I responded after taking a deep breath.

Mason brought out his phone to record our conversation.

"So are you interested?" she asked.

"Of course I am, have you forgotten how much I hate her?" I asked her, trying to sound as natural as possible and to also make her comfortable enough to tell me her plans.

"That’s good to hear," she replied excitedly.

"So what’s the plan?" I asked with an eager tone.

"You don’t need to know that, all you have to do is tell me what Christy is up to and her plans. I will take care of the rest" she said with a mysterious tone.

I looked at Mason and he whispered for me to press her for answers and I nodded.

"Celeste, do you think I am a fool? I’m supposed to just trust you and do as you ask? Do you think I am Raina who trusted you blindly?" I fired questions at her aggressively.

She stayed quiet for a few seconds, probably shocked by my sudden outbursts.

"Mira, you can trust me. I promise you that no one will know of your involvement" she assured with an anxious voice.

"Your promise means nothing to me and you shouldn’t be talking about trust either, the last person that trusted you is still living in regret" I said mockingly.

"My issue with Raina has nothing to do with you, so please stop bringing it up!" she yelled angrily.

"Wow, you are already revealing your true colors, I am not interested in your offer so you can do it yourself or find someone else" I said before hanging up.

"Brother, what do you think she is up to? Why is she suddenly going after Christy again?" I asked Mason, who was also trying to figure out what Celeste was up to.

We were still thinking when Kelvin barged into the room, he seemed to have something urgent to tell Mason and he had an anxious expression on his face.

"What’s wrong?" Mason asked him immediately and he looked at me with a hesitant expression.

"Just say it, she is family" Mason said to him and he nodded and it was obvious that he still couldn’t trust me fully.

I looked at him with a slight smile, I was grateful that he was willing to give me a chance and I will cherish it well. I will slowly change their minds with my actions rather than crying and lamenting in self pity.

"The guard I got to secretly follow Christy just called to inform me that one of the people we investigated confronted her in the park," he explained with a serious expression.

"Piper, her foster sister?" Mason asked him and he shook his head.

He brought out a file and opened a page for us. Inside was a photo of a girl, the name written close to it was Callie.

And it stated that she and Christy grew up together, they were best friends until Callie betrayed her by having a secret affair with her boyfriend.

"Why would she suddenly show up and even have the guts to confront Christy?" I asked with a frown while staring at the photo.

It didn’t make sense, she couldn’t be doing it for money, Christy wasn’t stupid.

"Does she have something on Christy?" I asked and they both frowned.

"I don’t think so, if she did she wouldn’t have waited this long before showing up. Something was definitely happening and we need to find out as soon as possible" Mason said before turning to look at me.

I felt frightened by his serious gaze and also anxious as I thought he might be suspecting me like before.

"Calm down Mira, why are you so easily frightened?" he asked me with a frown.

"I really don’t know anything about it," I whispered softly.

"Of course you don’t, how is it possible for you to be mourning your mother’s death and plotting against Christy despite all the love we have been showing you" Kelvin said and I smiled softly.

I felt shocked that they didn’t even think of suspecting me.

"Mira, I want you to tell me the truth about what happened on the day of Christy’s accident" Mason said and I immediately panicked.

"Just relax, we have all forgiven you and won’t blame you for what happened" Kelvin said when he noticed my reaction.

"The truth is... I.. I was the one driving the car and I purposely hit her with it" I confessed and observed their expressions but they were both angry at all.

"How did the look alike come about?" Mason asked.

"I don’t know, my mother told me that she had a way to handle everything. She later told me that she got help from her person but she never told me how the person helped" I replied quickly and he nodded.

"I checked the look-alike’s background and found nothing substantial. She is an orphan who became a drug addict after pushing drugs for years. No record of her date of birth, parents or place of origin" Kelvin said with a frustrated sigh.

Mason’s phone suddenly started ringing and I saw Christy’s name on the screen.

He immediately picked the call up with a frown.

"Hello," he said but the other side was quiet.

There was no response at all and his frown deepened.

"What’s wrong?" he asked her with a serious expression.

"I am moving back home tomorrow morning" she finally said and we all were stunned by her words.

"Did something happen?" Mason asked her with a frown.

"I will tell you when I get back. I just wanted to let you know that I am coming. That’s all" she said and before he could say anything else, she hung up.

"That bastard must have done something to her!" Kelvin yelled angrily while Mason only clenched his fist.

It seems like the house is going to be more lively from tomorrow.

"I will go tell everyone" I said and when I noticed they didn’t stop me, I immediately walked out.
