True friends

After work, Gianna drove in front of a restaurant and headed straight for a private room where she met Klara who gave her a big hug immediately as tears started to flow from her eyes.

"Are you really sure Henry is cheating?"

Gianna nodded her head and pretended to sob again "I caught him red handed! That bitch... If I even lay my hands on her...!"

"You caught him red handed?" Klara looked puzzled as she asked this.

Gianna nodded again "He was reeking of her perfume and when I went inside our bedroom, the window was left open and then I found this" She brought out a woman's panties she had wrapped and showed it to Klara watching every expression that passed through her face. She smiled slyly.

Just you wait... The both of you... I'll make sure to completely destroy you!

"This..." Klara seemed shock but she quickly adjusted her emotions and looked at Gianna with a caring expression, speaking in a soft tone "I'll talk to Henry about this. If he's really cheating on you, I'll make sure we find the bitch"

"Thank you sis" Gianna hugged her once more, looking grateful "When we find her, I'll be sure to divorce him"

"Don't say stuff like that okay? Henry just made a mistake. I'm sure he'll realize it and apologize"

Mistake?

Gianna smiled without saying any other thing. They parted ways and she went back home.

Klara paced around her room the moment she got back. She was feeling nervous at thesame time angry. That bitch almost found out about them. A call came in her phone and she quickly answered it seeing that it was Henry.

"What did she say?" Henry asked the moment she received the call.

"We are safe but..."

"But what? Should we proceed with the plan?"

Klata thought for a moment "Not yet. Although she knows you're cheating. She doesn't know who... Henry, we have to be careful from now on. She was saying something about getting a divorce"

"I understand"

They spoke for a while before Henry hung up.

Meanwhile... Gianna didn't go home as planned. She stopped at a mall and started to shop mainly for dresses. If she remembered correctly, the 20th anniversary of W was just around the corner. Henry had used that to make alot of connections which helped him secure his position at the company. But this time around she would not allow that. This time around, she'll be the one making the connections and paving her own way. She picked a blue sapphire dress which caught her eyes instantly. Without bothering to check the tag, she gave it to one of the staffs and continued shopping. She picked a few more dresses and then went to the shoe section. Picking some expensive shoes. She suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her name and turned around to see a girl about twenty five years old, pretty and had this little cute dimples as she stood there smiling at her.

"Ivy" She whispered feeling a sad emotion overcome her. She just stood there and watched as the girl approached her with that familiar bright smile she used to love.

"G... I was walking by and saw you here. You don't mind if I join you right?" Ivy asked carefully afterall, they were not on very good terms.

"Y-yes" Gianna managed to answer "Of course I'd be happy to have you"

"Really?" Ivy looked excited and at thesame time surprised "I was almost expecting you to ignore me you know"

"Ah... How can I bear to ignore such a cute girl hm? You're even cuter than the last time I saw you" For the first time since she was reborn, Gianna smiled sincerely. Ivy use to be her best friend until she had said something unpleasant about Klara to her. Klara was like a sister to her at the time so she got angry immediately and started to give Ivy the cold shoulder but now she realized that Ivy was just trying to help her then. Perhaps if she had listened to everything Ivy had to say that day. Maybe her life wouldn't have ended so tragically.

"You still know how to flatter me so much" Ivy sighed and looked at her seriously "I heard you married him"

Gianna paused then continued looking at the different shoes displayed before her making a 'hmmm' sound in response.

"I know you won't like to hear this or maybe you might start to hate me again but I can't stop myself G... You're going to regret marrying him"

"Why?" Gianna turned around and asked this question. She didn't look angry or anything but she was calm.

"I saw them..." Ivy paused and changed her words "I can't give you the details but Klara and Henry. You shouldn't trust any one of them. They..."

"Then can I trust you?" Gianna cut her off and gave her a serious stare.

"What do you mean?"

"Can I trust you Ivy" She asked again.

"Of course you can! I think about you everyday G. Even if I'm not as important as her in your heart. At least you're very important to me. You saved my life..."

"Oh my God. Stop Ivy I'm getting goosebumps" Gianna rubbed her arms "You sound so much like you're confessing your love but sorry I'm not into girls"

"Ha" Ivy covered her mouth dramatically and gave her a look of disdain"Even if you're into girls, I won't be interested in you okay?"

"Are you saying I'm not up to your standards? Do you think I'm ugly. Oh my god. I'm deeply offended"

The girls ended up laughing at their own act before Gianna turned serious again and asked "Can we be friends again? I really missed you"

"Do you even need to ask!"

Gianna saw the tears brimming in Ivy's eyes and hugged her. She knew this was her true friend but she still couldn't bring herself to trust anyone fully so she didn't tell her that she knew about those devils. She just said she'll investigate and then they continued shopping. Ivy was from a rich family also so neither of them cared about the tags and just bought anything they found pleasant. Gianna removed Ivy's number from her blacklist and after they were done, they went their seperate ways.

It was dark when Gianna arrived at her home. She felt really tired as she took off her shoes and wanted to climb up the stairs when she spotted Henry sitting alone at the dining where a feast was prepared.

"You're back. I've been waiting for you" Henry smiled when he saw her and and started to approach.

"I didn't ask you to" She told him coldly and resumed her steps, climbing up the stairs, not bothering to listen to whatever he said next. Well, she knew Henry wouldn't let her be tonight and she felt really tired to put up with him today. So the moment she entered the bedroom, she took her robe and laptop with her and went down to the guestroom, locking the door behind her. She collapsed on the bed but she knew she couldn't sleep just yet. She still had one more thing to do so she opened her laptop, clicking on an icon, she typed and sent to a person she had named 'Anonymous X'

"Is it done?"

Almost immediately, she received a reply "Piece of cake. I'm sending it to you now"

She received a video file and clicked on it. Two people could be seen in it and her lips curled up when she heard their discussion.

A glint passed through her eyes then she giggled softly and finally when it ended, she closed the laptop and sprawled herself on the bed whispering to herself "Its starting"
