- Alina -

I took a seat across the desk, Lorraine already placing a poured glass of alcohol in front of me. "Let's make a toast?" Her nasty smile formed towards me and i raised my glass as she did too. "What are we toasting to?"

"To friendship, Alina. To a blank, new page for the both of us. I don't wanna fight with you. We're still blood related regardless of us being enemies."

"Mhm. Like mother, like daughter. Both do nothing but fight against each other for some dumb thing we call money in this world." I leaned on the desk, copying her smile and she cheered me, proudly taking a sip of the whiskey.

"Well drink to it. Otherwise this settlement won't come true." She nudged me on yet i sat the glass back down. "I'm driving. Can't."

"Oh please! One sip isn't gonna do anything."

"Do you think i'm a fucking joke?! Should have added less of this white powdered substance in mine. I can see the color difference between our drinks, you bitch." I immediately admitted.

"Alright. Caught me." I watched her slouch back in the chair. "Now is that all you wanted to say? If so then i'm quite busy. You see my sister isn't gonna be happy about hearing being here instead of going to meet her." I stood up whilst saying.

"Oh? In contact with Beth, huh?" Lorraine stood up herself, slowly walking around to face me. "Yes. Another daughter of yours if you have forgotten, my beloved mother. But i should advise you to not anger her up. Even though you did me a lot dirtier, she has a stronger grudge towards you."

"God. You're both identical. Can't let the past stay behind."

"Don't fucking test me. Do you think killing my girlfriend back then was okay?! You tried everything to force me to take part of your dirty business! I fucking wished that our father would have had those extra seconds to dig that kitchen knife through your heart before the fbi barged in! I would have felt no sympathy back then and even now."

"Alina! Who talks to a mother like that? You wanted me dead? Back then and even now?" Her calm state truly spiked my rage even more. "I said don't fucking test me." I took a step closer but the sight of her hand flinching behind her back made me aware that she's got something planned yet i played it discreetly.

"Or what? Are you really like that Alina? I think i might have heard you kill two people in your lifetime ever since you became a criminal and one of them can't even be counted as he died for the sake of you sabotaging his race car. Didn't do it with your bare hands so."

"But there's still the other one. Since you've done your research then you're aware that no sabotage was made there. Just a fair fight. Face to face. Each having a knife which of course ended badly only for him."

"Right. Why don't we recreate that after these years then?" Lorraine's words left her mouth and i knew this was the queue she was waiting for. The sight of a dagger appeared right in my view and my feet stumbled back from the swing she made.

"You're fucking insane! Gonna kill your own daughter?!" I kept on moving around the room as she had the answer to my question already spread on her face. "And you have the desire to kill your own mother?!" Her own yell came out and the sudden switch of her moves had the sharp tip cut my arm.

I had no defense. I had nothing on me to fight back with. This was the last thing i expected from coming here. Her own fucking self dedicated to kill me.

The feeling of a corner made me trapped but as she was about to thrust the dagger right into me, my body dropped to the floor, forcing my leg against hers to get a distance.

"What the fuck is your problem?!" I screamed out but she looked completely raged, only now noticing her pupils widened, believing that she might be high on some fucking substance.

"You ungrateful fucking bitch! You made my life a living hell! Outing me to your father about me cheating on him! What were you trying to accomplish from that?!"

"Oh my god! That wasn't even the worst thing you had done to him!" I blurred back but the swings kept on going, my adrenaline slowly kicking up as these uncontrollable moves from hers could still result badly.

"Alina, you're not fucking leaving until i see you lifeless on the god damn floor!" Lorraine continued and i felt like i couldn't be more feared, this feeling actually making me weaker to think of a way out of here.

My eyes did dart towards the door though but this psycho was not letting me off the side of the room that was farthest from it yet as i was about to look back towards her, the sharp pain of the weapon cut the skin of my forearm.

I could already see the blood gushing out and my back hit a wall from how vulnerable i became, the woman stepping right in front of me with the tip pressed under my chin.

"Did i ever tell you why i even hated you from the very beginning of your teenage years?" My so called mother asked, purposely twisting the sharp end in circles, feeling as it's easily close to cutting in but there was no way i could yank my head away nor the dagger.

My hand kept a forceful cover on the cut, trying so hard to loosen the blood flow but it was literally dripping off my fingertips, coloring the grey carpet underneath us.

"I hated you because you were a mistake, Alina. We never wanted you to be born or made but i think in this moment you should thank me about still going through the pregnancy. Here you are, all grown up but sadly in your last seconds to ever see this life i gave you." She explained and i swear i could feel my own self staring to press on the weapon from my knees growing weak.

My eyes stared back into hers though and i felt as she began adding pressure on my chin, my eyes squeezing shut to just take the faith but as they closed, the feeling of the tip disappeared.

"You fucking bitch!" The sight of Madison yanking her back and on the floor with a thrust had me watch in amazement even though own feet lost balance, body slipping down the wall.

My whole forearm and other hand was colored in blood however i looked back at the two, in such want to pull my girl out of this situation before she ends up getting hurt too.

But my kept myself conscious, the view of Madison getting the dagger in her hold was the last thing i saw before it landed right into Lorraine's chest.
