Chapter twenty seven

David

I have to be honest with myself. At the beginning I never thought this plan would be of any success. It was my first trial. 

First because Maria and I have never been on good terms. I even thought of how difficult it would be to get her to just listen. To me, with my fake apology. 

Secondly, it's because I never thought she would easily fall into my trap. 

I know she only assumes I hate her because I think she's trying to take my place. With my father siding with her, and everybody else - except my mother of course-seeming to have a soft spot for her. 

I was right to let her think that I don't know that she Framed me. I know there's more to the story than just that, which is why I couldn't just go asking her, point blank. I need to know her other plans. Or if my family is in danger, with her being the danger. 

If she thinks I'm just someone who's weak, then she's in for a storm and what she's just experienced is the beginning.
