Ella is my cousin.

At the restaurant, Harry and Gabriela were about to leave when Harry's ringing tone for Thalia suddenly rang out and without wasting time, he hurried to pick the call while asking Gabriela to go wait for him in the car.

"Hello?"asked Harry.

"Hi Harry, Why aren't you replying to my messages and chat? Don't tell me you are with that bitch again?", asked Thalia with a voice full of irritation and anger.

"Can you please stop? What has suddenly come over you?", Harry asked

"You are the thing that has come over me Harry. How could you choose my witch and slutty cousin to be your fake girlfriend? How could you?", Thalia said with a shaky voice as though she was at the verge of breaking down.

Shocked, Harry immediately ask her, "What did you just say? You mean Ella is your cousin?",

"Yes", Thalia reply.

"But how did you know she's the one am dating?", Harry asked still not believing what he just heard.

"I asked a friend of mine to help me check on the girl you are dating and report everything to me. When she sent me Ella's pictures I was shock that I nearly collapse", said Thalia with a soft and frail voice.

"What did you do? How can you do that, when I had already told you about my plans and achievements from dating her", Harry said with a raise eyebrow.

"I know right, the truth is that girl is a wolf in a sheep clothing. Back then when we were in middle school, she use to steal things and frame me up for it. She had even ruined my reputation in school because she was jealous of my reputation as the rich princess. Not to mention her bitch mother who killed her husband and went to marry a rich man without taking care of her and her elder brother. After middle school, she was awarded a scholarship to one of the prestigious high school called, "Bright Stars", but instead of focusing on her studies, she was busy doing outrageous things and even bribe the teachers to always get good grades. This same Ella had also slept with a taxi driver back then and when my mother found out about her outrageous doings, she had frame my mother for selling her out for two thousand USD dollars. Can you believe that? My mother, a whole Mrs Lewis. So now tell me , why wouldn't I be worried with such a snake around you?", Thalia said with a voice full of disdain and hatred.

".....,Hmm, now I understand why you are mad. That cousin of yours really is something. Don't worry, on our graduation day, I will officially break up with her in front of everyone, ok? Said Harry.

"OK! I love you", Thalia said acting all coquettish.

"I love you too. I have to get going now, I will talk to you later, ok?,"said Harry.

"Ait! Bye-bye!!! Kisses", Thalia reply and hung up.

Harry look at his phone, while the words that Thalia just said kept resonating on his ear. After taking in a deep breath, he calmly walk to his car and found Gabriela already asleep. That was when he notice the paleness of her face and was about to wake her up and ask her if she was ok, but then he stop himself upon remembering Thalia's words. Clenching his fist, he tried his best to suppress the burning furry in him and after that, drove the car away.

Meanwhile after hanging up, Thalia threw her phone to the couch in her room and sprawl on the bed with a contented smile on her face and said, "Hmm! I didn't know you were so stupid Ella. Even after being tortured for 16yrs you still couldn't learn your lessons. I wonder what you will do when you find out that he's mine? And now that I have found out where you ran to with that adopted brat of yours, you won't be able to escape my trap this time. Haha ha, you are so smart Thalia.
