Chapter 4

[Song recommended: Lady Gaga - Paparazzi]

After what happened yesterday night, Maria couldn't help but feel guilty for allowing such a young girl to see such a not so child friendly scene.

She woke up awfully too early and glanced at the useless log of wood that layed beside her.

She slowly got of the bed, wore her robe, put on her flipflops and walked out of the room.

As made her way to the kitchen, she began to hear faint sounds coming from my destination.

She grabbed a broom stick on instinct and took steps towards the kitchen.

On her arrival at the kitchen, her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the ten year old on a stool washing the dishes with a serious look on her face.

Maria leaned the broom against the wall and noticed that the floor had already been swept.

"Morning, Mother Maria!," Chelsea said cheerfully with a sweet smile on her face the moment she noticed her presence.

Maria couldn't help but giggle at the little cute girl who was struggling to reach the sink even with the stool elevating her.

"Morning, darling. Why are you up so early? It's four in the morning, go back to bed. You need to save up your energy cause you and Travis will be going to school today," Maria informed in a low weary tone, obviously because she was sleep deprived thinking about the issue through out the night and finally decided to call up her teacher to come pick them up today.

Maria noticed her stiffen immediately she finished talking. She turned sharply to face her with an aggrieved look on her small face.

"Aunty, have I done something to make you angry? Why would you want to send me away from you?" she asked much to Maria's confusion.

Maria thought the girl loved going to school so it baffled her to see the girl so antsy about going today.

Maria walked up to her and carefully dropped her down from the stool. She looked into the little girl's eyes, she saw tears and fear in them.

Was this perhaps the making of that bastard, why else would she be so scared of going to school.

"How many times do I have to tell you to start acting your age? Sea, children is a once in a lifetime things, the things you do and fail to do at this time might just haunt you for the rest of your life," Maria said remembering her childhood with Marina.

When they were little, everyone would praise Marina for her extraordinary smartness and her unearthly beauty, while at the same time belittling Maria for her low IQ and average looks even when they both technically looked the same.

"Look at those two, I wonder how they even became twins. Look at that gem and then look at the bronze necklace, it's so disgusting."

"I think she's adopted and her family's trying to cover it up by calling her that beauty's twin sister."

"I wonder how twin can be so opposite?"

_

Those were the kind words she'd get from people for being the great Theodore Markley Bay's beloved daughter.

At some point, she feel into depression and put herself in solitary confinement. And as they say, an idle mind is the devil's playground.

She began plotting all kinds of evil deeds and schemes against her sister forgetting that when ever she got bullied or taunted, Marina would always be the one to stand up for her and comfort her even when she would reached her breaking point.

And unfortunately, the path she took in her search for revenge was one she'd regret for the rest of her days. Not only for Marina but also for herself.

The most handsome and pretensious boy in college, Daniel Vanderson garnered interest in Marina.

Many girls in college flocked around him and Maria was still ashamed to admit to being one of those girls, but Daniel being an ambitious man had eyes only for Marina.

It further enraged her that after all her attempts in seducing the young man, he still went ahead and proposed to Marina on the final year prom night leaving her ~ his supposed date~ with his best friend and one of Marina's lover boys, Samuel Zimmerman.

Of course Marina didn't except him immediately, she away from him looking at him as though he was a creep.

Sam was livid. The fact that he was the first one to fall head over heels in love with Marina and his best friend's made him regretful and angry.

Maria was heartbroken and decided to take her long overdue revenge on her "beloved" sister.

On Marina and Daniel's wedding day, she decided it was time to execute the plan she'd made the day before.

And what better way to execute her plan than on her sister's wedding night.

Maria walked into the room slowly as though her foot would shatter the floor if she made any noise.

She shut the door behind her and turned to look into the room.

To her surprise, the room was filled with all types of toys and equipment that looked torturing for any woman even without wearing it.

The bathroom door at a corner of the room swung open as a young well built man walked out of the room, drying his hair with the towel on his arm.

Maria was in shock, she placed the bottle of aphrodisiac in her dress as she soaked in the beauty of the handsome man before her shamelessly.

Daniel turned his head to look at the person who had just walked into the room and then a smirk formed on his lips.

Maria was a sucker for handsome face so she was literally drooling at this point and had completely forgotten about the torture equipment lying on the bed.

"Hello... Maria," he said her name seductively and she immediately snapped out of her shameless oogling.

Maria? She was dressed as the bride as well as groomed her hair and done makeup so she looked exactly like her sister but Daniel still recognised her.

She'd decided that if he recognised her she would her secret weapon against him but now it was time to do it, she realised she couldn't.

She wasn't the bad person she so desperately wanted to be, instead she loved her sister and couldn't hurt her.

Daniel noticed the change in her expression and his smirk grew wider.

He walked up to Maria and wrapped his strong arms around her waist drawing her back to reality.

"What are you here for, you've been very bad and you need to be punished," Daniel said in a intoxicating tone.
