Chapter 75

Sandra kept a close watch on her mother all morning, waiting for the moment she’d leave the house so she could follow her.

Her patience was rewarded when she saw her Mom heading out, and without wasting time, she quickly followed, keeping a safe distance from

Claire.

Claire’s drove through the familiar streets of Ludus until it came to a stop in a neighborhood Sandra didn’t recognize

She watched intently as Claire approached a particular house. Sandra’s curiosity was piqued when the door opened, and she saw Evelyn standing there, welcoming her mother inside.

It was now obvious to her that her mother had been in close contact with Evelyn since Evelyn returned. She must have known Evelyn had left the hotel the last time, yet she hadn’t said a word to her.

Her mother knew where the witch lived, but she pretended she didn’t know anything She wished her mother would act like a true step mother to Evelyn and not suck up to her like that, showing her love and concern she was supposed to give to daughter alone.

She was annoyed at her mother, but she was more angered by the bitch for trying to take her mother away from her and getting everything even though she didn’t deserve them.

She scowled as she watched Claire disappear inside with Evelyn. Sandra’s eyes wandered to the front yard, as she tried to look around where Evelyn had been hiding herself, and she couldn’t help noticing a small pink bicycle leaning against the wall.

It was clearly a child’s bike, and she couldn’t help but wonder who might own it and why it was there. Was Evelyn staying with a kid? Or was she married and had one? She mused and laughed at the absurdity,

How could she have a kid Evelyn was the perfect daughter and would never have a child out of wedlock. Sandra reminded herself.

She paused when she remembered her mother asking about Sam and Maya. Who were they? she mused and then decided to keep an eye on Evelyn now that she knew where she lived. She was going to find out who Sam and Maya were, and she was most definitely going to find owned the pink bike.

Satisfied with her discovery for the day now that she knew where Evelyn stayed, Sandra turned her car around and decided it was time to pay Rayna a visit. She needed to put her next plan into action immediately.

She had a smirk on her face as she drove to Rayna’s bakery. Once she arrived, she parked her car and dialed Rayna’s number.

“Hello, Ray, a drop of golden sun,” Sandra greeted playfully when the call connected

Rayna smiled, but her eyes were narrowed in suspicion as she responded, “Hello, Sandy Rayna greeted, wondering why Sandra seemed to only reach out to her after she hang out with Evelyn.

“Are you at the bakery!” Sandra asked, her tone friendly.

“Where else would 1 be on a Saturday Rayna replied, still surprised to see Sandman call.

“That’s good to know, Sandra chirped as she got out of her car.

Rayna paused, curiosity piqued. “Why do you ask?”

“Why don’t you wait and see for yourself? Sandra said pleasantly.

A moment later, the door to the bakery opened, and Sandra stepped in. Rayna’s

said in a tone that raised Rayna’s eyebrows.

“Did you think I wasn’t?” Rayna asked, and Sandra quickly realized her slip, and she laughed.

“Of course not. I’m just saying maybe I should come so you employ me,” she joked, and Rayna scoffed as she ordered them both

“I never would have imagined that you’d visit me. This calls for a celebration,” Rayna said with a teasing smile.

Sandra laughed softly as she leaned back in her chair. “For real, Ray, I’m sorry I don’t call often or hang out with you, she said with an apologetic smile, but Rayna waved her off.

“It’s not a big deal. I totally understand. Things get busy,” she said and Sandra nodded.

“Thanks for your understanding. So, how’s the school reunion plan going?” Sandra asked, trying to sound genuinely interested and Rayna shrugged. It’s coming together perfectly, I hope you haven’t forgotten that it’s in two weeks, Rayna replied, her tone casual.

“Nah. I haven’t forgotten. It’s going to be a good opportunity to catch up with everyone. I’m hoping it will remind Evic of the good old times, and she will come around,” Sandra said, and Rayna raised a brow.

“What do you mean come around!” She asked, since she was still curious about what was going on between Evelyn and Sandra.

Sandra sighed, “I’m sure you must have noticed that things are not like they used to be between us,” Sandra said with a forlorn expression.

Rayna nodded and paused when the waiter brought in their coffee and snacks. After the waiter left she continued. “I can’t say I haven’t noticed. What exactly happened between you both?” she asked curiously, wondering if Sandra would tell her.

Hearing Rayna’s question, Sandra smiled inwardly, pleased that Evelyn was yet to tell Rayna anything. Well, she was just going to be the first to confide in Rayna since Evelyn was the bigger person.

Sandra leaned forward in her seat, “Honestly, I have no idea what went wrong with Evie, she said, and Rayna frowned.

“What do you meant”

1 she confessed, her tone laced with a

Sandra hesitated, as if reluctant to spill the details. “Evelyn is angry with me because I’m still close to Michael,” mix of regret and frustration.

“You won’t believe that she went as far as pushing me down and emptying her glass of wine o Michael,” she said and Rayna’s eyes widened in surprise

“Evelyn did that to you? When? Why would she do such a thing! I didn’t think she was capable of such a thing, Rayna said with a frown, wondering why Evelyn would do that.

“I was just as shocked and embarrassed. I would never have expected that she would do something like that to me, Everyone witnessed it, Ray. Our parents, our guests, even my fiancé, Sandra said, looking deeply hurt,

especially not in public.

“I’m sorry, Sandy, but that doesn’t sound like Evelyn, Rayna said, confused by what she was hearing.

“Right? The same way cheating doesn’t like Evel.. oops, Sandra said, raising a hand to her lips as though she had revealed something she wasn’t supposed to reveal.

Kayna’s eyes w

widened, her expression turning serious. “What do you mean by that?” She asked as she watched Sandra sip from her coffee while avering her gaze.

Sandra waved it off, “Let’s not talk about that Forget I said anything.”

Rayna studied her for a moment before deciding to drop the subject, but she couldn’t help feeling uneasy. She wasn’t comfortable talking about Evelyn with Sandra

“Yeah, I think we should stop talking about Eve. So, are you coming to the reunion alone or with your fiance! By the way, I didn’t know yo engaged” she said, changing the subject.

Seeing how easily Rayna changed the subject without pressing for details, Bandra seethed inwardly, but forced a smile. “We are keeping it lowkey for now, And I plan to come with him if he’s not very busy then Sandra said, and Rayma nodded.

Before Rayna could say anything. Sandra spoke again, “Despite everything Evelyn has done, I still hope we can go back to the way things used to be. I’m sure she’s acting this way towards us because whenever the sees Michale the feels gully about cheating on him. And my remaining close to him makes her see him often,” she said and Hayna merely stared at her without saying a word

Kayna’s expression remained neutral as she wondered why Sandra was saying such things about Evelyn? What was she really trying to achieve?

Rayna couldn’t shake the feeling that Sandra was trying to poison her mind against Evelyn, but for what purpose?

As they finished their co

coffee, Rayna’s thoughts remained on Evelyn. She couldn’t quite believe Sandra’s words, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Sandra had ulterior motives. She resolved to keep an eye on Sandra, unsure of what she might be planning next.
