Chapter 73 The Fake Blood
“Ada, don’t do this…” Ann said lowly through gritted teeth as she held Maeve’s furious attempt to take
over at bay.
Ada chuckled lightly as she tipped over the potted plant on the floor near the door, and crouched next
to it, shaking the ceramic pot free from the plant and examining it in her hands thoughtfully.
“Ada…” Ann tried again, her jaw clenching , but Ada didn’t respond.
Ann watched as she positioned herself in front of the large glasswindows and threw herself against
them heavily, the blinds crumpling behind her back as she let out another fake scream that was so
convincing, Ann’s hairs on the back of her neck stood on end.
“Please, Ann! I know you hate me for everything that happened…I just want us to..NO!” Ada yelled
suddenly before staring directly at Ann and bringing the plant pot crashing heavily down onto her head.
Ann watched the blood drip down the side of Ada’s face with an incredulous expression.
What the f*uc*k was happening?
As Ada imitated the sound of sobbing loudly, interspersed with bangs and wails as she hit her fists and
feet against the sofa and floor to imitate muffled punches, Ann found herself unable to move. Even
Maeve had gone quiet.
Ada smirked up at her from the floor with a knowing look in her eyes.
“What’s wrong, Ann? Cat got your tongue?”
Ann tried to open her mouth to reply but found that she couldn’t.
Her heart began to race in a mild panic as she realized that she couldn’t move either.
All she could do was watch this ridiculous attempt of Ada’s to frame her and listen helplessly to the
rising commotion of the staff members outside of her office door.
“Miss Veritas! Is everything okay in there?” Eva’s voice drifted into Ann’s awareness.
But Ann couldn’t answer and she screamed internally at the helplessness she felt at this moment as
Ada answered for her.
“Please! You have to stop her! She’s lost her mind!” Ada begged as she yelped and wailed as if Ann
was physically a*s*saulting her.
“Step aside, Eva. We’ll get in to them.” The voices of Ann’s security team rose above Ada’s wailing as
the door handle rattled hopelessly.
Ada yawned and stretched as she stood and sauntered over to Ann, smirking as she lifted her hand
and brought it down hard across Ann’s face, screaming as if she had been hit herself.
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.” Ada chuckled quietly, as she sank to the floor and
arranged herself so that she was curled around Ann’s feet.
Ann’s fury rippled through her as the stinging of the slap spread across her cheek.
She bit back the tears that pricked at her eyes, not because she was sad or hurt, but because of the
unbearable frustration of not being able to react either verbally or physically and the anger that burned
in her heart.
She glared down at Ada who continued to sob loudly at her feet as the heavy impact of the guard’s
bodies against the door in an effort to open it vibrated through the air around them.
As the door splintered slightly, signaling that they were about to gain entrance at any second,
Narcissa’s shrill, panicked cries could be heard over the grunts and shouts of the guards.
As if on cue, Ada yelped loudly before screaming loudly. “NO! Ann, please! Not my baby! Please! It’s
innocent in all of this! Nooo!”
Ann’s heart felt as though it would sink through the floor as Ada imitated the pure terror that a mother
would feel in this situation so perfectly, that Ann wondered how long she had been practicing for this.
For Ada, this was the performance of a lifetime. A perfectly planned and executed setup that was
designed to frame Ann and destroy her character and integrity in the eyes of the public.
She watched helplessly as Ada smiled as she sobbed and reached into her top, pulling out a clear bag
filled with red fluid. She tore the corner effortlessly as she lay on her back briefly, reaching into her
jeans with her hand and placing the red fluid-filled packet between her legs. “You’ll never recover from
this Ann, they’ll never believe you. All of your staff will see this and immediately think the worst.” She
chuckled quietly as she lifted her head slightly to check her handiwork.
Her grin widened as the red liquid seeped through the white material of her jeans and she lay back
down, turning onto her side once more and curling around her legs.
“It’s a stroke of genius really isn’t it?” Ada snorted quietly as the door to the office splintered again.
“I don’t know why I didn’t think of it earlier. Fake an attack and make people believe that you injured me
so badly, even my unborn child’s life was at risk.” Ada sighed theatrically. “Even mother didn’t know
about this, I wanted a genuine reaction from her so that it would be believable.”
As the door splintered and the guards rushed in, closely followed by Eva and Narcissa, Ada’s
expression changed instantly and she sobbed quietly as she curled around Ann’s feet.
Ann felt the paralysis disappear almost instantly as her eyes took in the horrified faces of the guards
and Eva, as Narcissa’s shrill wail of anguish pierced the air and she rushed to her daughter’s side.
Ann took a shaky breath as she stepped back and felt Maeve’s groggy and confused presence
reappear in her mind.
‘What…’ Maeve whispered hesitantly, horrified at the sight of Ada curled at her feet and covered in
what appeared to be blood.
‘You were right, Maeve. It was all a trap. She’s staged this… that’s fake blood.’ Ann murmured back in
disbelief. ‘What?! Then tell them! Stop them looking at you like that and believing the worst!’ Maeve
urged frantically.
Ann lifted her eyes slowly to the doorway and saw it now crowded with her office workers, all with the
same expressions of horror written across their faces and eyes filled with disgust as they stared at Ann.
The only faces that seemed uncertain were those of the guard who spoke up against Narcissa earlier,
and that of Eva, who hesitantly approached her.
“Ann, what happened?” She asked tentatively, ignoring the forms of Ada and Narcissa still huddled on
the floor. Ann opened her mouth to answer but was cut off instantly by Narcissa’s furious voice.
“I think it’s pretty obvious what happened here, don’t you?!” She shrieked, “We all heard it, and not a
word from Ann the entire time! Look at her office! It’s glaringly obvious she attacked my daughter and
her unborn child!”
