Chapter 7
Lexi moved back, her leg becoming weak underneath her.
“You did what?” she still couldn't believe it.
“I asked him to drug you,” Kira said with no emotion.
“Why?” her voice sounded foreign even to her.
“You want to know why?” Kira chuckled. “You want to know by I asked him to drug you huh?
“Because you disgust me,” she yelled. “Your entire being disgust me to the core.”
“What have I ever done to you, Kira? Why do you hate me so much to even think of such a thing?”
“Well since you already figure it out, I'll just have to tell you the whole truth then.”
“I hate the fact that every guy I ever loved, loves you instead. They only come close to me just so they could be closer to you and ask you out.
“I am the one they sleep with any time they want, they used me but they loved you, and it all because you are still a virgin.
“They all like the idea of getting married to a girl who is still intact, and they use me to achieve their aims.”
“That isn't my fault you bitch, that was all you,” Lexi screamed. “It's your fault for not keeping your leg closed.”
“Oh! So, do you think keeping your leg closed all this year makes you some kind of a saint? Do you think it makes everything I have passed through less shitty?”
“Whatever you pass through is all on you, I would not bear that burden for you," She snapped. "You chose to become this kind of woman to them; it was your choice to become a slut so don't you dare blame that on me.
“And you know what, I don't want to know what other reasons you have for doing what you did." She stopped to breathe for a second. "I want you out of my house and never return.”
“I would leave but I want you to know you were lucky someone saved you." She turns to leave but Lexi stopped her.
“What do you mean I was lucky?" her eyes remain hooded.
“Jake was supposed to drug you then sleep with you, thereby deflowering you, and that isn't the end.”
“What?” she became tongue-tied.
“Those two strippers I went in with, they would have raped you and made a video which I intended to upload on every social network.”
Wham
Kira held her cheek with a smile, she watches as Lexi's face contorted in pain, ignoring the sting spreading over her cheek.
“You are a despicable animal; how could you even think of doing that after all the love I had showed you?"
“To hell with you and your love," Kira spat.
“Get out!” she pushes her roughly, causing her to land on her hand and knee.
Lexi closed the door behind her and slid to the ground as her tears rushed out.
“What did I do to deserve this from her?" She cried as all those words keep ringing in her ear.

Kira pulls herself up, she schooled her features and made her way down the stairs.
“Are you leaving already?” Daphne asked, coming into the house just in time to see her rushing down the stairs.
“Yes,” she answered in a monotone.
“Is everything alright?” she stared into her face.
“Everything is fine, I just got a call and I need to leave right now," she lied.
“Oh! that is fine then, I almost thought you fought with your friend.”
“We did and she chased me out without listening to me,”
“Goodness! Why is that? Why did you fight in the first place?”
“She is angry with me because I didn't bring her back home after getting drunk.”
“Wait! Lexi got drunk in the club, she has never done that before.”
“I know and I warned her not to do anything stupid, but she wouldn't listen to me.
“She said she wanted to drink and forget just for a night that you are getting married again,” Kira sniffed. “She still didn't take the news well.”
“But she told me she was fine with my decision.”
I guess she lied to you
“But- “
“I have to go now; I don't want to be late she cut her off. I will come back once she's calmed down enough to listen to my apologies."
“Yea, you should do that,” Daphne bobbed her head.
Kira waved her hand and walked out of the house, a wicked smile playing on her lip as she stepped into her car.
“That serves you right," she grinned. "You should know who not to mess with anymore."
The sound of her car leaving the garage could be heard after that.
Daphne waited for a few more minutes after she left before bounding up the stairs to her daughter's room.
She took in huge gulps of air, as she stood at her door. The thought of what to say to her disturbed her.
Sighing, she knocked on the door still worried, she knew Lexi was displeased at first at the thought that she wanted to get married again.
But they talked and she accepted the idea, according to her words, she had claimed whatever makes her mother happy will make her happy as well.
She knocked on the door again, but no response came.
“Lexi, open the door. It's me," she called.
Still no response.
“Please Lexi, open the door. We need to talk.” she banged the door, but still nothing.
She walked away and Lexi thought she had left already, as her tears refuse to stop trailing down her cheek.
The sound of the door creaking open snapped her attention. She had forgotten her mom had spare keys to all the rooms.
Daphne walked closer to her daughter, who was curled against the wall. She crouches down to her side and rubbed her back.
"I am so sorry Lexi, I didn't know," she said.
Lexi raised her head and stared into her mother's eyes; new fresh tears cascaded down her eyes.
“She lied to me," her voice had turned mangled. "Kira lied to me."
“What are you talking about?" Daphne was confused.
