Shatter.. shatter.. shatter. She smashed all the vase she could find, angrily she panted and looked at her phone. She smashed it, stomped and kicking it with her feet.
"How COULD he!" Susan ran to her room window and tore up the curtain, she then went to the living room and tore up all the curtains. She destroyed and tore everything yet, she was still not satisfied but she then remind that she did not check his father's room yet so, she went there. Arrived there, she quickly tore up all his curtains but in middle of it, a necklace on his desk caught her eyes. She went to his desk and grabbed it, it was so pretty that she just decided to only admiring it and took it to her room.
Shockingly, her father's maid saw it and rushed to inform him while Susan was still with the necklace. An emerald necklace, common but different kind of anything she ever seen and one thing, it was mesmerizing. She was still holding until her father broke into her room and grabbed it from her.
Furious, she yelled at him. "PAPA!" Pap. He slapped her hard, she then touched her red cheek and could not believe her father just slapped her.
"Papa! Why did you slap me for?" She said with an angry tone and her gentle father suddenly gave her a furious look while holding the necklace carefully in case it might break.
"It's just a necklace!" He glared at her, she then kept quiet and he angrily showed the necklace to her face.
"It's just..a necklace?" He laughed.
"This used to be your mother's. Her.. her only thing I could have." Susan widened her and looked at him, "It was her necklace?" 'It's just a cheap necklace? My mother wore that cheap necklace and Papa dare to slap me for that? Pathetic.'
She looked at the necklace. "If it was hers, how could you hide it from me?" He sighed heavily and patted her head.
"I wasn't. I just afraid you might break it too." "Too? I might break it too?" He looked at all the mess in her room and he was certain.
"You can do anything here, go break anything you want but not this necklace. Susan, please understand me." Angrily, she snatched the necklace from him and hurriedly put it around her neck, he was surprised to see Susan was just look exactly like his late wife and began to cry.
"Sob.. sob. You look exactly like your mother.." She held his hands.
"Papa, I'm gonna take care of it real good." She smiled. 'I don't plan to. This necklace worth none of my concern.' "Trust me." He smiled happily and wiped his tears, hugged her and nodded. "Then, it's yours. Take care of it, Susan." He then left her room and his maid escorted him to his room. He was happy that Susan was finally understood him.
'I am relieved.' "Hmph. A cheap necklace like this? I could find it everywhere." She took the necklace off and threw it to her bed, she stared at it and slowly she came with an idea. She smirked.
"Yeah, oh yeah." He danced like crazy until he saw a familiar and decided to greet them. "Hey. Hey. Look who's here?", Monica looked at him and smiled slightly, he then grabbed her hand and kissed it.
The crowd were screaming. The scene was too good to ignore, they then teased them together but Monica looked like a little uncomfortable.
"Excuse me, sir. I'm Monica. Hm, do you know me?". The man smiled, "Yes, I do. Monica, it's a pleasure to meet you here." and suddenly a women grabbed his hand. She lend at his shoulder, looked at Monica and laughed.
"Hey, Monica. How's everything going?". Monica smiled brightly.
"Xii Ling, you're.. You're here too?"
"Yeah, Susan invited me too at this party." Monica nodded.
"Oh, that's why. But by the way, who's this? Your boyfriend? Haha." Monica laughed and so do Xii Ling.
"Yeah, he is. Did he flirt with you too?" Monica was surprised.
"Ooh.. He did. He kissed my hand." Xii was laughing and at the same, she gave a death glare at him. "He did? Haha." She pinched his arm hard until he looked like in a lot of pain.
"Ouch. Ouch. Hey, that's hurts. I'm sorry.."
"Yeah, do that again. I'll leave you, Lucas." He pouted and hugged her.
"My dear honeydew, I'm sorry." He looked at her with his puppy eyes.
"Ahem. You know I'm still single. Please respect me a little, Xii Ling." Monica looked at both of them.
"You're single? Hehe. Ouch-" Xii Ling pinched his ear.
"Sorry, he didn't mean it. Ha." Monica just nodded at her and giggled.
"Hey, Xii Ling. Come here, just a little closer." "What's it?" Monica whispered to her ear, " Xii Ling, do you have any guess why she invited us?"
Xii Ling raised up both of her shoulders. "So, you don't know?" Xii Ling nodded. Monica then sighed heavily. Xii Ling the held her hands.
"Hey, it's fine. Maybe she changed and plus.."
"Hm?" Xii Ling smiled at Monica.
"We could have fun here too." Monica looked at her but smiled bitterly.
"Have fun?" "Yeah, like everyone else. See." They looked at the party and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun but Monica still can not knock off the bad feeling she was having when coming to the party.
Suddenly, she felt someone just patted her shoulder from behind and she quickly turned around only to see Mike was there too. She did not know what to say and she realized a lot of guys started coming to her too, she could act like normal.
'I was right. Coming here was a huge mistake!' "Hey, Monica. How're you?" She looked at Mike and smiled awkwardly.
"It was fine. Thanks for asking." It was awkward between them. Xii Ling and Lucas already went to somewhere else. The other guys just came to greet her and left.
"Monica, I want to apologize." She looked at him confusedly, "I was too dependant on you. It must bother you a lot, didn't it? I'm sorry."
"Wait.." He looked away.
"Why did you said that? I'm the one who broke our relationship. Why're you the one that apologizing?" Mike smiled at her and he turned around.
'I already accepted it, Monica. For now, I already have someone I loved.'
"I was stalking you. For a long time.. without your consent, I'm sorry." He quickly left her alone, she was still speechless and she could not even run after him.
'Mike, I was too.'
"I used you all this time."
Susan watched them from her window. 'She was still all over Mike. Tch! You lied to me, Monica.' She was so mad, she then took her necklace and smashed it to the wall. Before she know, she accidentally broke the necklace.
"Damn, I was careless."
'What I'm supposed to do now? Papa shouldn't know about this.'
"Ha. Look like I have to rush the plan." She called her maid and whispered something to her.
"Please enter the room, Miss." Monica entered Susan's room.
'Hm, why the maid leave me here alone? Where's Susan? She said she gonna talk about something with me.' She sighed.
"Forget about that. Why's dark here?" She looked around her, looking for the switch button and finally managed to find it.
Suddenly, a maid opened the door and an old man showed up looking at her furiously. He gave Monica a death glare and looked down as she noticed she was stepping on something.
'What was this? A necklace? Why's it broken so bad when I didn't even step on it that hard.'
She jumped because of shock the old man yelled at her.
"How dare you! I did nothing to you." Monica was confused.
"What, sir?" She looked at the necklace again.
"If this is what you mean, I can explain-"
"Sob.. sob. How could you.." Susan was there, she was crying and then fell down to her knees like a dramatic queen.
"That was my late mother's necklace." The room began to be filled with crowd as they came when they heard someone was crying loudly and they were shocked with what they saw.
"I know we're not on the good terms but you can't break her necklace.. Sob.. Hic.." She covered her face while she was smirking at Monica.
'You walked right to my trap, Monica. Now, there are a lot of witness. Hoho, what you're gonna do now? Hehe.'
Monica looked at Susan. Angry. 'This was her doing. Susan! Damn, I can't do anything now but at least I'm gonna try that.'
"Haha!!! Haha! I'm sorry, this was just too funny." Susan was confused.
'You're laughing? Tch!'
"How could you laugh now? You're heartless."
"Haha!" Susan was so annoyed.
"Haha! Whew.. Hey." Susan looked at her.
"This was too childish, I'd not use this way. If I want, I could do a lot worse than this."
"What?!!"
" Stepping on your late mother's necklace and not only that, I dared to do it at your party. I didn't even know this was hers, yet.. you still accused me."
'Monica, you!'
"But, still that was the only thing she left for my father." Monica giggled.
"Look, you spoiled it."
