Chapter 143: The sad reality
Bella Anderson’s fingers trembled as she reached for her phone, her heart pounding like a drum in her chest. She had to tell Ethan. Now. Every second wasted was a second Mara’s son was further away. Every breath Lucy took was one stolen from the truth, she couldn’t let a monster like that in her house and his son’s life.
She had just unlocked her phone when she noticed the eerie silence behind her. A shadow moved in the polished glass reflection of the hallway with the stairs beneath.
She quickly turned to see who it was, but she probably had already take a wide guess, her first instinct was to run but she could take care of this snake all by herself, she will expose her no matter what it took.
"Going somewhere?" Lucy asked coldly, stepping forward with a calm, calculated smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Bella stood her ground. "Don’t come any closer, Lucy. You’ve already done enough. Your lies they all come to an end today. How could you steal a baby from a mother’s arm? what kind of sick monster are you? No snatching a baby from a mother’s womb that’s another level of low,"
But Lucy lunged, she wasn’t afraid there was no need of pretending, her mask had fallen before her and no amount of words could change that but she knew one thing and that was to stop her and keep her mouth shut.
The phone slipped from Bella’s hands and clattered to the floor. The two women struggled, the Bella trying to reach for the phone, Lucy fighting to grab it first. "You will keep your mouth shut if you know what is good for you," she said and, in the shuffle, Bella’s foot missed a step. Her body tilted dangerously backward, and before she could brace herself...
She tumbled.
Down as Lucy watch in shock, that wasn’t the plan at least she had thought.
Step after step, a sickening thud with each one until she hit the marble floor with a crash.
"No!" Lucy whispered in shock, rushing down the stairs, breathing heavily.
