MARCIA'S POV

"Who is that person with those girls? Damn she's lucky!" What? Wait. I think I know ... yup it's Carmen. "That's the triplets aunt. Yesterday she went to my house and finish all the food. She has the audacity to pay my sister in law $5000 for the food she finished. The real question is, who on her right mind to even carry so much cash?!" Sara calm me down when I clearly just lost it. "You know i begin to think that every plan I want to to do Erika will bite my ass back in the end." I sighed.

"If that's the case, quit harassing her and accept your defeat." I turned to face Melanie and Kay. These two couple not even trying to concealed their relationship anymore. "You two holding hands now?" Melanie smiled at Kay. "We decided that what's the point in hiding such amazing relationships." Oh they decided to tell everyone? Good for them. "Where's the others?" I asked as I patiently wait. "Since Erika at the toilet, I assume Kimberly still on her way."

As if Kimberly could hear them, she came on time when they saw a car driving up the hospital main route. When Kimberly got out, she was breathtaking but something tells me there's something going on. "I was force to bring her." Then a woman got out with all her grace. She looks like Carmen to be honest. "She looks like me huh?" Carmen suddenly behind me.

"That's my younger sister. Ava. She just came back from Africa for her volunteering work. You see she's a famous make up artist. Because she's too fond of beauty and all those shenanigans, our parents build her own beauty academy, the Larove's Beauty Academy for her 20th birthday gift." My eyes were all over Carmen's littlest sister.

"She's single?" I asked but I received a smack at the back of my head instead. I was rubbing my head when Carmen glared at me. "You hurt my Erika, you'll pay with your life." I don't know if she's being serious or just playing around. There's no guide for me to understand this old woman. "What happened to you?" Donovan asked when he went my side. "I have no idea. Come on. Let's start our work. They must be waiting for us." I said before leading them all towards the hospital main entrance.

"Marcia!" The kids was already waiting for us in the playroom. I can't event walked properly when they swarmed me with their hugs. "Wow! You guys and girls really misses me? What happened? You guys did something didn't you?" Knowing them all being mischief always, i know they need me to do something. What can I say, I raised them to be a little like me, a prankster." I heard a scoffed from the head nurse who always ended getting an headache whenever I'm around.

"Don't teach them to be as bad as you." She warned me. "Seems you bring a lot of new faces this time. Introduce us." The head nurse smiled at the Larove's family. "That old woman with the girls, she's Carmen Larove." Carmen was glaring at me for calling her old. "This is Melanie, Kimberly and Erika Larove. As you can see, they're triplets." The kids were at awe seeing them for the first time. "This is Ava Larove. I don't know much about her." Ava waved.

"And last but not least, Kay and Suzanna." The nurse shake their hands and was speechless to meet them all. "I can't believe today was my lucky day. Meeting the owner of this hospital herself." She was shaking Carmen's hand. Wait! Carmen is the owner?! For real? It doesn't stated their family name though. "An honour to meet you again Amanda. You've done a great job." So they know each other?

"Amanda and I go way back. Way, way back." Carmen laughed. "Not that back. We're in the same high school." Okay now that some news. "You went to Larove high? You're an alumni?" Amanda nodded. "I'm the president of the science and mathematics club." I laughed on the inside. She's clearly a nerd. "I'm also the captain of the cheerleader team." Now that I don't believe. No way!

"Hey me too!" Kimberly went to the head nurse and shake her hand. She turned to me and wiggling her finger.

"Don't give me that look. I was a genius for my age and I have passion for dancing and supporting the school." I shake the thought away and clap my hands. "You kids must be tired of playing with the nurses correct?" They all cheer. "We have a few new hot sisters to play with. Are you excited?" They all cheer. "Great! Now, let's make this day a memorable day for them." They actually went the sisters and the others before forcing them to play.

Kimberly and Melanie is a natural motherly instinct except for Erika who's having some trouble. I went to her and asked with my eyes. "They remind me of Tyler when he was still... well... normal..." I sat next to her. "Why didn't you asked him to go with us? You know the best therapy for him is to be himself and be with friends." Erika chuckled. "Once her friends learned what had happened to him, they all bullied him mercilessly and called him names. Melanie beat them up for it but he determined to be at home."

"That's bad though. Melanie punch young kids. But I understand how he must had felt." Erika turned to me. "You do? Something happened to you?" I giggled. "I was bullied once as well. I know how he felt. But unlike him, no one came for my rescue like you guys did. No one even care. Everyone just walked passed me and laughed. I hid it from my brother until it was so bad I need to hospitalised." I can't believe I just being open to her. "What happen to the bullies?" I shrugged.

"I don't what happen to her. I transferred from my old school to Larove High after my brother learned what had happened. Because we have no money to sue her and her gang, she probably out there, being her old self, torturing everyone." Erika leaned in. "I can find her for you. My aunt literally run this town." I laughed at her suggestion. "Nah. I don't care about her anymore."

"Suit yourself but revenge is such a nice feeling yah know." She's actually luring me in. Such a mysterious girl she is.

Carmen was right when she said she ate meals like I do. No fancy food like I thought they ate at all. They were kind enough to prepare some food for the kids and they were all happy to eat something different than a hospital food. Because majority of them has no family to even take care of them, they were happy that we came today. I live for these kind of happiness.

"They enjoyed it. I can't believe it." Carmen was satisfy. "I heard what you did from the head nurse. You bought this hospital when they in the brink of bankruptcy. You built it from scratch and open its door again just in few months. You gave the doctor and nurses their job again and with even better pay." Carmen chuckled. "Like I said before, I have more money than I could even spend. Why not helping people in need right?" If only I can say the same.

"Why not spend on me and pampered me for life." I was joking. "You have Erika. She'll have her share when she's old enough. Trust me when I say she's going to be billionaire by the age of 19." I don't think that's what I asked for. "Are you joking? Do you and her parents thought I'm with her because of money? Be honest." Carmen face me. "We're not that kind of family that think of our friends only after for our status and money. No miss... we're not that kind of people."

"Then? Do you see a person like me as a gold digger?" Carmen shake her head. "I see you as a human being. Why would I think of you otherwise? If you like Erika, cherish her. That's all I'm asking." Why do they already assume I'm together with Erika? "You got it all wrong. Erika and I are not an item. I'm just trying to make her mad at me so she would expunge my bad records from the school system."

"So basically you're using my niece?" Carmen asked while scrolling through her phone. Should I be afraid of her? "I don't. We made a bet. That's all." Carmen patted my back before standing up. "Do whatever you want, nothing can spark anger in her heart. Trust me on this. She has the ability to withstand pain and anger. Erika went through such process to be the person she is now after what happened to Tyler." Process? Medically? I am afraid to ask her further.

"Marcia! We need you, come on." Donovan was out of breath but I can saw his worried expression. "What is it?" I asked when I followed him out. "Them! They're back!" Seriously, these guys never quit. I jogged to a group of people from harassing the nurses. "You seriously has no sense of fear to me huh?" I announced myself before grabbed the nurses wrist and asked them to stay behind me. "Go. Now. You don't want to regret your decision if you stayed."

I was surprised when more of this useless group of people appearing out of nowhere. "You may be the town champion, but, you have no strength in defeating us all by yourself. By now you should know that nurse there owe us money." I clicked my tongue. "How much does she owe you worthless human being?" I spat. "$150,000. If she can't pay us up, she can pay us with her body." They all laughed including the woman that joined their group. I can't believe my eyes.

"I'll pay for her."

"No Marcia! They mean business. Don't burden yourself." Tiara warned me. I have no other choices. Either that or she'll be their sex slave! What a day I'm having. "Don't worry. I'll make it." Her hands were grabbing my arm while the other nurse hid behind Donovan. "Scumbag." We heard a voice said. Erika showed herself and walked towards us with her grace. "Such scumbag shouldn't be alive." She mocked while kept her stoic expression. I can see the rage in her eyes.

Why can't I do that to her?! If so she'll be in her bikini now. This is not the time Marcia! "$150,000 is all you need to released this nurse, correct?" Don't tell me she's going to pay it up. "There's no way in hell she or my friend over there will pay you up. I won't allowed it." He literally shoved Erika's head backward with his hand. "Oh! What you're gonna do to me? Who are you to talk to me like that you little bitch!"

Erika laughed as she grabbed the man's hand from her face and twisted it. He was holding back the pain Erika gave him. "I am Erika. Remember that name when you're in your death bed." Erika kick his gut and watched him fall. "Come on you little bastard. I'm waiting." Erika challenged the obviously strong man. To my surprise, she manage to overthrow him to his front with only a kick and punch.

I watched as Erika easily fight off the guys who went to charge her. She was hit a few times here and there but nothing could even make her backing down. I decided to help her and got punch a couple of times myself.

She was about to get hit by a man who has a blunt object when Carmen suddenly appeared out of nowhere, kicking that man's face. He fell to his butt and reached out for a ... GUN?! Everyone stopped from charging in and held their hands up. "I'm not afraid to use this to kill you all one by one. If money you seek, I'll write a cheque right here, RIGHT NOW!" Erika clicked her tongue while reaching in her pocket for a cheque book.

"Not so smug now huh bitch." Carmen didn't even take a second to shoot that man on her shoulder. "Oops. I missed." Carmen said. "Sorry. I am such an old woman you know." She's literally my idol now! "On the second thought, don't write them any kind of cheque. These kind of people don't even deserve to live." Carmen snapped her fingers and in seconds. The place was swarming with guys in black suits. "Welcome to hell boys and girls. You're messing with the wrong person today." Carmen handing her gun to one of the guys and face me together with Erika.

"Next time, don't ever act on your own if you don't know how many of them." Carmen advices me. I watched as the man in black suits capture those thugs. Seriously, who the hell are the Larove family?!

"You shouldn't even borrow money from loan sharks. If you have a problem, just tell the head nurse and she will reached for me. Remember that in the future." Carmen lectured Tiara for her action. "You're lucky Marcia was there before anything even happened to you. Anyway, he still unemployed?"

Wait, what? Carmen know her? Tiara told her that her husband still unemployed. "Hmmm. You shouldn't even continue such relationship if he's always gambling his ass out. Leave him alone and I'll be glad to help you with the process. You have a career Tiara. You have two beautiful kids. Don't wasting your time with that scumbag."

Carmen really do care. Erika pulled me away from them as I was just listening to what they have to say. "You really don't know the hint to let them be alone huh?" Erika wiped the blood from my mouth. "Let's clean you up before meeting the kids." She asked me to sit down and she went to wet a cloth. When she came back, she sat next to me and wipe the blood from my mouth. "Now we're even." She said that made me confused.

"Your face. It's bruise up." Oh shit! Ryan will have a fit! "You should just stay behind me and wait. I know aunt Carmen will come and save us." I gave her my smug face. "How would I know that? You didn't tell me anything." Erika chuckled and gently wipe my mouth. Damn. I never been this close to her. We're so close that I can smell her fragrance that she's wearing. It's such a intoxicating smell I want to shoved my face on her breast for it.

"Why are you staring at my breast for?" She asked. I turned away and curse myself for being caught. "What happened to both of you?" Sara asked as she walked in with Kimberly and Melanie. "Nothing happened to me. Just some guy manage to punch her." Kimberly laughed at my face. She must be so happy for this. "Serve you right bitch." Sara chuckled. "Anyway. We're all done. The only thing we haven't done was telling the head nurse because that's your job." I nodded.

Erika smiled before standing up and cleaned the cloth she was using. "I'll do it now. You all may go home." Kimberly suddenly threw a set of keys to Erika. "Erika be a doll and send her home. Use my car. The others will go home now. Bye!" Kimberly didn't even let us say anything when she dragged Melanie and Sara out of the room. "What in the world is happening in that girl's mind?" Erika asked.

"Do you want to follow me instead? I don't want you to be lost." Erika nodded and followed me to the head nurse office. After informing the head nurse, she thanked me for saving her fellow nurse. I waved my hands because I didn't do much. Erika and Carmen did. After bidding my goodbyes, we both went to the car. "Do you drive Marcia?" I nodded. "Alright. Here. Drive this." She smiled and went to the passenger seat after throwing me the key.

"Seriously? You want me, a peasant to drive a million dollar worth of car?" Erika chuckled. "It's just a Bugatti." As I ignited the engine, it roared before my butt. The vibration it gave me was almost as essential pleasure coming from toy for my vagina. "Are you having an orgasm?" She bluntly asked me. "Shhhh. Hush." She laughed before I drove us home. All the way we were listening to some Japanese song she said she love from watching an anime, Kill La Kill.

"Satsuki is me when I'm badass." She said when I stopped in front of my house. "I have no idea what you saying but I hope her breast represent your size." She hit my shoulder playfully. I laughed and thanked her for the ride. When it got out, I was wondering why Ryan and Nisha didn't close the door like always. It's wide open. "That's weird." I said out loud. Erika turned and wondered what I meant. "The door. They never let it wide open. The twins always wanted to play outside. Living in this kind of neighbourhood forbid that you know."

Erika decided to follow me inside as I invited her for a cup of drink or so for thanking her. As we get nearer, she suddenly pulled me back and placed a finger on her lips. She pointed at the floor and my eyes widen to see a bloody footprint. I didn't even think for a second before I barged in the house. Erika was yelling for me to stand down but I can't.

My family might be in danger! I froze when I saw the state of the house I live in. I step on the puddles of blood as I walked in when my eyes searched for the source, I dropped to my knees. My sister in law and the twins were close to each other as Nisha still protected them. From the state she's in, I know she's... gone. I saw soft movement from the twins and quickly grabbed them both to my hug. "Aunt Marcia?" One of them said.

"Oh thank God..." was all I manage to say. Till death Nisha manage to kept them save. I gave them to Erika before standing up and searched for Ryan and Hermina. I barged in every close door and froze once again when I saw my brother laying face down on the bed with multiple stabbed wounds on his back. My brother is... "I can't find your niece. She's somewhere." Erika informed me. "Hermina! ITS ME MARCIA." I searched everywhere that she might be fit to hid herself.

"HERMINA!" I yelled before I heard a thump. "I already called the police and my family elite squad." Erika said before went to the kitchen, opening every cabinet still carrying the twins. "HERMINA!" Erika yelled as I heard a loud crying noise. "She's alive? I ran to the kitchen and was glad she's alive. "Hermina ... Thank goodness." I didn't even care that I hugged Erika on the process as well.

I am so glad my niece is alive. "Aunt Marcia, where's mommy? It's almost dinner." I honestly don't know what to say to my nephew's.
