Chapter 34
"Why did you call, dear?" Hilda asked, still trying to hold on despite the obvious difficulty she was facing just to speak louder.
Erin smirked as she kept staring at her sister. She saw as beads of sweat glistened on Kate’s forehead, and each time Erin would part her lips to speak, Kate would flinch, and her body would go tense.
"This is about Kate, Mom," Erin cried out as she tried to garner her mother’s sympathy.
Kate reached for Erin’s wrist, grabbed it as hard as possible while shaking her head. Kate felt that her world would crumble with just one sentence from Erin. One sentence would be all that it took to kill their mother.
Erin was satisfied, she was happy tormenting her sister. But she wouldn’t stop until Kate gave her a new credit card.
"Kate? What’s wrong? Did she do something? Did she... Did she hit you again?" Hilda asked.
There was a hint of worry in the tone of her voice, which was already a red flag for Kate. She knew that if Erin told their mother what had actually happened, then their already sickly mother’s heart would break and it could cause a relapse of her heart attack.
Kate grit her teeth, her eyes were already glazed with tears as her head hung in defeat.
The bitch who she loved and spoiled, the very woman who had fucked her husband, had won.
She never expected that her sweet little sister, whom she raised, would turn into a monster that wouldn’t even hesitate to kill their mother.
"I’ll give you what you want," Kate whispered in a quiet enough voice that she was certain her mom wouldn’t overhear. "Just end the call, I’ll give you a credit card."
