The sound of heels making contact with the cemented floor filled the dimly lit rooftop.
A girl wearing a long red gown and red heels walked to a hidden door at the corner of the rooftop. She enters a password and does a retina scan before the door opens, and she makes her way in.
The room is filled with light, unlike the outside. The girl walks to a corner and smiles evilly.
There appears to be what looks like a hospital bed in the corner. On getting to the bed, the girl's smile became more sinister and twisted.
“Hi sister,” she said with a mocking tone.
On the bed, a young woman's hands were chained to two bed posts. She looks emaciated, and her eyes appear lifeless. But it doesn't hide the fact that she was a beautiful woman. She has sea green eyes and long black waist-length hair.
“The nurse said that you refused to eat.” She asked the sick woman.
“Sasha, I am still shocked that you are the one doing this to me,” the woman said slowly, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
“You are shocked?”
“Poor Amira, you thought I really took you as my sister?” Sasha laughed.
“I have never liked you; I have hated you from the moment you stepped foot into my family house,” she said, with so much anger that she had to take in deep breaths after.
“I had to grow up in an unhappy home because of your mom. Even in her death, she wouldn't leave us alone. Dad refused to let go of his first love, and my mom suffered in a loveless marriage for years.
“Then you came into our home and took all of my dad's love for yourself!” She screamed and threw her bag at Amira.
“Do you want to know how your mom died?” She asked with an evil grin.
“You…” Amira said it with shock.
"Yes, it was me.”
“I was fourteen when my mom first told me about you and your mom. She said your mom was the reason for all our suffering, the reason why dad never married her, despite how much she loved him. That made me angry. I decided right then that I was going to fight for our happiness, for the life we deserved."
She paused, her eyes darkening as the memory flickered.
"I used dad’s phone to send her a text, asking her to meet me on this very rooftop. She came, completely unsuspecting, waiting for dad, but instead... she saw my mom.”
Her lips curled into a sly smile as she glanced at Amira, the grin sharp, almost cruel.
“Your mom got angry when she saw my mom, and they got into an argument,” she said, her voice flat, as if the memory gave her no more than a passing thought. "I approached her slowly from behind and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief filled with drugs, and then, she passed out.”
A twisted grin formed on her lips again, as if she was savoring the memory, her eyes glinting with a dark, almost amused satisfaction.
“Then my mom and I lifted up her body and threw her down from the building,” her voice soft and unnervingly calm, her fingers twitching as if she could still feel the weight of the body in her hands.
“The next day, they ruled it a suicide, and from then on, things got better for my mom and me. Your grandpa took you from Dad because he blamed him for your mom's death.”
Everything was fine until five years ago, when I was diagnosed with kidney failure and needed a transplant urgently. Mom secretly did a test to check if you could be a donor, and it came back positive.
We knew that your grandpa wouldn't allow you to be my donor willingly, so we had to get rid of him. Then, mom convinced dad to bring you home." She smiled evilly at Amira.
“You and your mom won't have a good end!” Amira yelled at her while trying to free herself from the chains and attack Sasha. The movement of the chains just made the quiet room noisy, and there was no way she could free herself.
“Why... what did I ever do to you?” She asked as hot tears kept spewing out of her eyes.
“Your mistake was being born into the Davis family,” Sasha said while laughing.
Then footsteps were heard, and the door opened to reveal a handsome man in a white lab coat, with four bodyguards behind him.
"Bryan,” Amira called out to him with a glimmer of hope.
“Hi baby,” Sasha said, giving him a deep kiss.
"B..rr..Yan,” Amira called in a shaky voice.
"Amira, dear, are you shocked?” Sasha asked with a smirk on her face.
“Let me introduce you to my fiance; we have been engaged since I was ten years old,” she said while hugging him intimately.
“And of course, you didn't know because we didn't want you to know. When I discovered your feelings for him, we decided to keep you in check.
“We didn't want you to fall in love and escape from our grasp, so we decided to use your feelings for him to our advantage,” Sasha ended with a sneer.
Bryan walked up to Amira and gazed at her with so much disgust in his eyes.
“You don't know how disgusted I always felt anytime I had to be all lovey-dovey with you,” he said.
“Why?” Amira asked with tears flowing down her face.
“You are beautiful and smart; I mean, you are a decorated medical doctor at such a young age. You can make money without stress, among other things. But I can only love one woman in this lifetime, and that woman is Sasha,” he said without any hint of guilt.
“Get her ready for the kidney transplant,” he ordered the men that came with him.
“You already took one of my kidneys!” Amira yelled at them with a horrified expression on her face.
“That was the initial plan, but now my other kidney is failing, and I want to get rid of it. Even if the one we collected before can keep me alive, I still don't want the failed one in my body.” Sasha said it with a slight smile on her lips.
“Dad will never forgive you when he finds out about what you have done to me,” Amira said through sobs.
"Oh, so you still thought you had some hope, huh? I forgot to mention…" Sasha’s laugh was laced with malice as she slowly looked at Amira, a glint of mockery in her eyes. “Dad thinks you eloped with a lover, abandoning him. He had a heart attack when I told him, and of course, Bryan testified to it.” Sasha laughed evilly.
“To me, dear sister, you are just an organ cultivation vessel and nothing more,” she chuckled, making a signal for the men to grab Amira.
They unchained her and dragged her out of the room. She struggled but was no match for the strong men.
“I will advise you not to make too much noise, or I will make you die slowly and painfully,” Bryan said.
“I think we should do the surgery without administering anesthesia to her,” Sasha said while glaring at Amira.
“Ahhh, my stomach hurts; I can't stand,” Amira screamed, and she started breathing heavily.
The men let go of her for Bryan to take a look. With this momentary distraction, Amira ran to the ledge of the rooftop and jumped without hesitation. She looked up and saw the shocked looks on Bryan and Sasha's faces, then closed her eyes in satisfaction.
