'Mom? You... you're my mom'.
'You know me? Really?.'
'Yes, I...
Rhea had both her memories and Isabelle's memories. This woman was in Isabelle's memories but she felt so familiar as well.
*I don't remember her in my memories. I never had a mom, I was adopted right? But why does she feel so familiar*.
'My daughter, my Isabelle, you remember me'. Isha was already tearing up and Rhea just looked at her confusedly.
*She thinks I'm Isabelle but I'm not, what do I do? Isabelle told me her mother was dead but here she is weeping profusely*.
'Listen ma'am, I must have said that by mistake. I'm sorry, I'm.....I'm not your daughter, please excuse me.'
'Wait! Please wait.....I....
Rhea stopped, 'I'll definitely repay your kindness ma'am. Thank you for saving me ma'am. Thank you very much '.
Then, she left before Isha could say a thing.
Isha wanted to run after her but Kaira held her.
'You can't, we have to go now.'
'No! I have to see my daughter'.
'But you can't'.
'No please, she's leaving. Don't let me lose her again'.
'Auntie, please calm down'.
'Leave me! Let me meet my daughter once please!.'
'If you meet her, you'll only cause her more harm.'
Isha finally stopped after hearing that .
'You're right. I will only cause trouble for my daughter if I go after her. I shouldn't.'
'Yes, and we should get out of here. Something's happening and it wouldn't be good if we get involved in it.'
'What's happening?'.
'I don't know for sure'.
'Then what about my daughter?.'
'She's also leaving right now but she'll be signing the papers first. She'll leave after that.'
'How do you know all these?.'
'Valet told me about it.'
'Okay, we should leave after she signs the paper then.'
'Let's go.'

It was finally time for Anna and Rhea to sign the papers. Everyone gathered round while the papers were brought. Henry took the mic and spoke.
'This is the moment we've all been waiting for. Now, I'd like to call my first daughter, Isabelle to sign the papers'.
Rhea slowly emerged from the crowd and walked towards the podium. Ava and Anna were shocked.
'Mom, isn't she supposed to be dead?'.
'I don't know what happened either. Something is wrong somewhere, we definitely saw her fall right?'.
'Mom, if she's alive now, that means someone must have saved her. If someone did save her, then they must have heard us. We're in trouble mom'.
'Calm down Anna, it doesn't look like it yet. We'll find that out later but now, the plan must go on'.
'But dad.....
'Forget about your dad now, if you successfully trap Aaron, you'll be in a much better position than Isabelle'.
'You're right mom. It's okay'.
Rhea walked towards Henry to sign the papers.
*I better sign the papers quickly and get out of here*
Someone came to whisper in Henry's ears and he smiled.
'I know you're all curious as to why I'm suddenly doing all these and the answer is very obvious. As you can all see, I'm growing old already and my time will soon be over, I need to start getting my daughters involved in the company affairs'.
Everyone laughed at what he said.
'What are you saying now?'. Ava said while tapping him lightly.
'I also know you guys are curious about the number of shares, so, Isabelle dear, please show everyone'.
Rhea resisted the urge to roll her eyes and did as Henry told her.
'Wow, thirty percent! That's amazing'.
Everyone gasped, they all started singing praises of Henry. Henry heard it all while looking satisfied. Rhea knew that it was exactly Henry's plans. All he wanted was to change others opinions about him.
Ava and Anna were shocked.
'Mom, look at that. This isn't what dad said he'll do. Mom look!'.
'It's okay Anna, everything will be fine. Remember, if your plan works then you won't need any company shares'.
'Alright mom'.
'Now, Anna will come to sign her shares'.
Anna gave a smile and went to meet her dad.
*I wonder where Felix is*
Anna took the paper to sign it and she was shocked. She looked up at her dad in shock.
'Now listen everyone, as you all know, my daughter Anna is still very young and can't handle too much responsibilities. So, I've decided to give her twenty percent less than her sister'.
'Mr Henry is right. The decision you've made is the best'.
Anna didn't know what to do. She couldn't do anything rash in front of everyone. She was truly dumbfounded. Her father had promised her that she'll definitely get more shares than Isabelle but here he was doing the complete opposite all for the illegitimate daughter. She was furious but Ava winked at her. Anna had to give a fake smile and pretend that it was fine.
Anna signed the papers and left immediately after giving an excuse to her dad. She wanted to carry out her plan as soon as possible.
*I have no choice. I don't know why the drugs didn't work on Isabelle even though it did on Aaron. I wonder if Isabelle drank the wrong wine. goodness knows why dad changed his mind so suddenly, Isabelle must have manipulated him. She'll have to pay for it. She have taken my rights from me and now, I'll take her most priced possesion*.
Ava followed Anna.
Eliana watched the mother and daughter leave and asked Rhea.
'Sister in-law, what will happen now?'.
Rhea smiled, 'since Felix has been taken care of. Anna will be dealt with later, let's change the plan'.
'What? But why sister in-law?'.
'I can't just deal with them all and gain nothing in return. They'll eventually find out it was me so before that, I'll need something to hold on. I have something much interesting in mind'.
'Oh, okay sister in-law'.
'The cameras are fixed right? And the person is there already '.
'Yes, everything is set'.
Just then, Rhea got a message from Aaron and said to the twins,
'I have to go now, we can't go together. You should also leave after some minutes'.
'It's okay. We got it'.
Rhea hugged them, 'thank you both so much. I'm really happy that you both came to help me, nothing would be done without the both of you'.
'It's okay sister in-law. Anything for you'. Louisa said and Rhea smiled. She turned to leave and bumped into someone. It was Isha.
'Dear',
'Ma'am. I forgot to thank you earlier for saving my life'.
'It's okay but if you don't mind, can I have your number? We can discuss how you'll repay me then'.
Rhea looked at the woman again, she had her mask on again. She thought of rejecting her but she saw Henry approaching so she gave her and left in a hurry.
Henry felt something was wrong but he didn't know what it was so he shrugged it off.
*That woman Isabelle was talking to seems familiar*. Henry wanted to go to her but Kaira came and took her away.
Anna and Ava got to the room where Aaron was supposed to be.
'Is this the room mom?'.
'Yes but Anna, have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to do this?'.
'Yes mom. You know taking things from Isabelle is what enjoy the most. I'm sure of this, I will do it'.
'Alright dear. Should I stay here?'.
'No need mom'.
'Alright, I'll go'.
Anna entered the room. It was dark but she could still see the man on the bed, she smirked.
'Let's see how Isabelle feels after this'.
***
Eliana and Louisa were about to leave but Louisa quickly went to the washroom while Eliana waited for her outside. She was on her phone while walking and almost fell but someone caught her in time.
'Oh, thank you so....'. The words got stuck in her mouth as she saw the person's face. He had the most angelic face and an addictive eyes. Eliana kept staring.
'Are you okay?'. the person asked.
'Well....ye...yes...yes, thank you'.
'It's okay. Well miss, you really shouldn't be on your phone while walking'.
'Yes, you're right. Thank you'.
'Alright miss, bye'. Eliana watched as the guy left.
'Oh shoot! I should've asked for his name'.
The guy slowly disappeared into the darkness. He passed by an alley and slowly walked towards a car. A female spoke from inside.
'Did you find him?'.
'No but I met someone else'.
'What?'.
'Don't worry, she's a relative'.
'Fine. Remember, the target is Aaron'.
'I got it'. The car drove away while the guy stared on. Then, he laughed like a crazed person.
'Too bad. I guess I just have to ruin you Aaron'.
