Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 52 - Pretty Empty Vases

April had no intention of stopping to chat or look in his direction that would only give James the impression they could be friends. Every little lie of his she swallowed in her last life only made her shiver and her skin crawl. She only saw him for what he was in this life and she could never be fooled again.

She heard him call her name again his voice no longer made her heart flutter instead she clenched her fists and held her head high as she entered her fathers home. Leaving one snake outside she entered the house to deal with the next two pests.

OutsideJames didn't know why April walked into her house without even looking his way. He was sure that he had shouted loud enough for her to hear him. James gritted his teeth and returned to his car. Wouldnt it be amazing to have both sisters at his beck and call.

Up until now, they had both enjoyed his flattery. He only wanted April initially because she would have her fathers wealth sooner or later but she didn't attract him as a man, sure she boosted his ego but that was it.

Lucy fell into his bed one night and shared her future plans with him not long after that. It had turned out that Lucy could help him in his future as she was going to receive everything of April's. But now after seeing April, he was greedy, she had changed, though he didn't know why he was intrigued. She swayed confidently as she walked and those hips danced in his mind. He wanted to have a taste of both girls and why not?

James drove away thinking of how to get April back in his life so he could enjoy her for a bit. Lucy was his toy too, he would maybe marry her then divorce her leaving him everything she owned. Lucy isn't the type of wife he wanted she was for momentary relief and a stepping stone to gain power.

Lucy had stated she was a virgin but he knew she like him used unsavoury means to get ahead in life. These deeds he could use in the divorce to gain everything. He smiled smugly and drove to a hotel to meet with an escort for some entertainment.

Inside Tom greeted her, "Miss, I'm glad to see you back so soon."

She smiled, "Hi Tom, where's my father?"

"He was in the study but I think he went to his bedroom just now," Tom reported and tried to take April's bag from her.

"Okay, I will keep my bag, for now, thanks, Tom," April replied.

Tom nodded and looked to the living room, "Lucy and Rachel are in a very good mood these past few days. Please be careful miss."

April nodded, "Do not worry Tom, everything will be okay." April walked to the living room.

Tom sighed. He knew April was prepared to fight for everything of hers but he hated that she had to. Her mother Kathleen would be proud of her daughter but saddened by seeing her strong but lonely back walk into the living room, ready to face everything alone. He prayed for them both every night to find peace and happiness.

In the living room, Lucy and Rachel both sat on the large plush sofas chatting. Hearing heels enter they both glanced in the direction of the door. Beyond their beliefs, they saw April enter she looked stunning and was wearing head to toe designers. Both women felt indignant that April not only looked beautiful but she carried herself like a strong, confident woman.

Lucy wanted to scratch her pretty face and tear her clothes from her. Why did she deserve such elegant and expensive clothing, "You wore that to work or the street corner picking up lustful men?"

The two women hid their hate for her very well and had April not lived her past life she wouldn't have seen the truth. Lucy looked petite and angelic in a white tea dress, her legs crossed and a cute smile on her face. Rachel equally as demure looking wore a pale blue shift dress giving her authority and grace. But these two were just pretty empty vases.

April smiled brightly, so it had begun... fine she was ready, "At least I have a job. How did you do in your final art exam, you must let me see your painting."

Lucy's jaw fell, April had spoken back and she had no way to defend herself. The final art piece that she had wanted April to paint but she didn't lead to her handing out an unreasonable amount of money. She painted her final piece and handed it in to her art professor, she had to pay him two million and sleep with him.

Luckily her mother had savings but now those savings were down by half due in April. Lucy held her dress tightly in her hands to stop herself from rushing to April and striking her. They still had to keep up the pretence for now.

Rachel seeing her daughter Lucy's impatience took over the conversation, she laughed lightly, "Thank you, Lucy, did quite well, maybe you can help her get a job. I heard from your father you somehow got into Walker Interiors. I think Lucy would do quite well there."

April smiled, she knew exactly what her stepmother meant, "Thank you, Rachel, I applied for the job and with my qualifications and an interview I had no problem landing the job. Seeing as Lucy did so well in her final exams she will have to like me send out her curriculum vitae to suitable employers. I am sure she will find employment easily."

Rachel's smile faltered for all ut a second, "She is your sister I am sure you can help her with this insignificant matter. Just mention her name to your head of department or do whatever you did that helped you get the job."
