Kendra POV
Just as Kira left, I attempted to leave as well. I don't even remember where my luggage is but that was the least thing I cared about right now.
Right this moment I just want to leave the presence of these two cruel people of had believed to be my parents since the beginning of my life.
Mom, as I used to think she was to me, grabbed me by the arm before I could even reach the exit.
"Oh no no no. You are not going anywhere. I am not going to let all these years of hard work to get ruined over you and your original's little discovery. You are staying here till she decides who you marry next. This is good for the progress we are making." she said.
"Just let go of me! Haven't you two demons done enough already?" I retorted.
She gave me a hard slap across the cheek.
"Mind your words young lady. Remember that we own you. Your life is in our hands and we can do as we wish with you." Mom told me.
"I'm reporting this case to the police! You won't get away with anything. As soon as I am out in the open again I will announce all your dirty secrets to the whole world!" I threatened.
Mom slapped me once more and I couldn't hold the tears back anymore. I let them down as the pain penetrated deeper.
"Don't you dare try anything stupid out there or else..." she said.
"Or else what?!" I interrupt.
"You'll kill me? You'll ruin my life? I'm already living under your control. I might as well already be dead!" I shouted, interrupting her words.
"Or else, say bye bye to you bastard of a daughter." mom completed her words.
I felt my heart seize immediately and it ached so badly. All of a sudden I couldn't speak again and felt out of breath.
"... You... You can't... You won't! Don't you day touch a single strand of hair on my daughters head or else I'll..." I said.
"Or else you will what? What do you think you can do against powerful people such as myself and your father? Oh, I mean, your owner. What can you do against us? You are nobody in this society and even if you speak up no one will believe you." Mom said.
I yanked my arm of my mother's hand and ran up stairs ready to let out all my sorrows.
I slammed the door to my room shut and very loudly that I was sure that even a passerby could have heard it.
I fell on my knees beside my bed and cried on my bed. I shouted and shouted, letting out hot tears.
The thing I feared the most had happened. My daughter's life has finally gotten involved. Who will save me now? How will I come out of this misery?! Oh God!
I wish I could just die and leave everything behind. I wish I never existed! Why must I bear the burden of fake parents?!
Why oh why?!
I buried my face deeper into my bed and punched the bed as I continued to cry.
Why me?... Ahhhhhh!... Ahhhh!
Mr Donaldson POV
"Looks lie the gig is up. Everything is now exposed to them." I said.
"Well, look at the bright side. At least we still have the clone under our control. We had already tried her out and nothing could possibly go wrong for our clients this time. As long as the new batches are created the same way." my wife said.
"You fail to see the risky and peoblemariv side of this situation my dear wife." I said.
"And what is it?" she asked.
"Kendra may be under our control but Kira definitely isn't. I am sure she will try her best, even more than before, to ruin everything we worked hard for this time." I replied.
"Hm. That is true. And don't you think the demands if the press for their silence on the issue of Kendra, our supposed daughter, getting married to more men than usual?" my wife said.
"I agree." I said and sat on a sofa.
"How long do you think we can keep this up?" I asked, rhetorically.
My wife placed her hand on my shoulder.
"We won't get caught. Don't worry yourself too much about it." she assured me.
I don't know why I feel like everything is soon going to be over, and not in our favour. Like the time for us to pay for our hidden crimes is near and I can feel death hovering over my head.
"If you say so." I said to my wife.
"However, we need to do something about Kira. We can't let her continue to threaten us with evidence she got from your office like this." my wife stated.
"You are indeed right. I'm sure she's got something up her sleeve now. I suspect she will strike very soon." I said.
"I just wish we got someone to follow her and find out where it is she lived. Damn it! I just wonder why I didn't think of following her before?!" My wife exclaimed.
The door bell rang before I could respond to my wife.
"I'll be right back." my wife said to me and went to open the front door.
About two minutes passed as I waited in the living room for my wife to return to me. She finally came but held a package in her hands.
"Who was it?" I asked her.
"It was the delivery man. He came with this package that has no address on it and no name." she answered.
"Probably came from Kira." I stated.
"Well? Open it let's see." I told my wife and she started to unwrap the package.
She paused as she took out a frame that was turned away from me.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Kira already decided who Kendra's next husband will be." my wife replied.
