The Law of Attraction

Gracy looked at the corners of her old room. This was the first time she went back to her own house left by her father since she came back because she chose to live with Bill in his mansion.

She heaved a long frustrated sigh as she recalled how her revenge on Lana started…

At first, Gracy thought that torturing Lana by hurting the people she loved and treasured the most would be more rewarding as she would get to witness how Lana would suffer, so that was what she did.

Gracy met Lana's father once and she got to know how the man wanted to meet Lana and teach his daughter a lesson for abandoning him. The man was a maniac and a serial killer. He would do anything just to get out of prison and Gracy had long thought of a plan to use him.

She asked Bill to help the man inside the prison who was also Lana's most terrifying nightmare, her father. Bill used a guy inside the prison for more money as well, promising that they would help him to get out of prison and help him see his daughter that he longed to see the most.

She fed him all the details he wanted about his daughter and he grew anxious knowing Lana was doing good in a family without even bothering to see him.

Gracy made sure that the footage was deleted after showing it to him to make sure there were no traces of her involvement with Lana's father, especially seeing him. Bill also made sure of it by burning that prisoner down in the name of a riot and helping Lana's father to escape.

They did it all… Fabricating his death and everything with the help of Bill's high-ranking contacts in the police who were willing to do so in exchange for their big fat pockets getting filled in.

It was a perfect plan that took some time to get polished before they executed everything perfectly. Gracy smirked recalling how money and power could turn the world upside down. People would do anything just to have it.

She made the right choice in letting Bill devour her...

She supported Lana's father who was also a murderer and made sure that the bastard's lousy traces were all cleaned including that of the dead person for which they used a man with the same face as his so Lana would think that her father had already died.

Lana's father was wise too, it was his idea as a back-up plan in case any plans turned shitty, requesting a doppelganger while he was still in prison so she provided him one.

But then Lana's father was too stubborn, making plans on his own. Kidnapping Faith Luo as well, complicating the situation. Who would have thought that he had another daughter? How small could the world be that his other daughter turned out to be a lawyer too and that she was also close to Lana?

She could recall how furious she was upon knowing how Lana's father was messing up her plans to kidnap Mrs. Huang. She wanted to kill the old lady as soon as they secured the huge amount of money from Lana because she wanted Lana to go broke and take away all her money up to her last cent.

But Lana's father jeopardized everything! Well in the end it turned out in her favor with the fact that Lana's mother died. She knew that Mrs. Huang's death would bring permanent pain to Lana and she rejoiced after she found out how Lana left the Sys and deserted the country because of that pain…

And yet here she was again ruining her happiness with the b*tch returning like that and being accepted by the Sys as though nothing ever happened… But then she had another plan in store to bring another wave of pain to the woman, hoping this time Lana would end up going crazy before she took her own life!

She already succeeded when Lana's mother died. How satisfying it would be if her dear sister would be put on the line next...

However, Bill said they should lay low and wait for him to win the Presidency first so that she wouldn't get into trouble even if she was caught. So that was what she did, waiting for the next opportunity to hurt and torment Lana.

But then with the sudden turn of events, waiting was no longer an option. She had to eliminate Lana instantly for her to have the peace of mind and heart that she always wanted.

She was startled from her deep thoughts when one of her helpers rushed to her and said, "Ma'am you have a telephone call. It's Mrs. Lana Sy."

Gracy's face turned dark and her eyes sharpened as she abruptly grabbed the wireless telephone from the helper. After she was released by the military she went straight back to their family's ancestral home and nobody had contacted her.

"Yes? Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked with an arched eyebrow. Lana probably called to mock her!

"Father wanted me to check on you and see how you were doing. If possible, can we also meet and have a meal together? I wanna treat you to a proper meal and talk to you about an important thing that I'm sure you would be anxious to talk about."

Gracy sniggered and with lifted eyebrows replied, "Really? Why not? I wonder how anxious it would make me. By the way, tell uncle that I'm doing fine and that he doesn't need to be worried. I'm sure Bill will be released soon. I should pay uncle a visit one of these days to ask for a favor and I do hope he can grant me this request…"

"I will tell him about it…" Lana commented and told Gracy where to meet her tomorrow at lunch.

Gracy's face was crumpled as she scorned, "What is this woman up to now? I bet she's celebrating my loss and would want to stomp all over me when I'm down. Let's see what she's got..."

Then her eyes squinted at the thought and the possibility that Lana might know that she had something to do with Lana's father…

"Damn those militaries!!!" she cursed. She hated the fact that Lana was lucky enough to be adopted into a good family and grew up to have many powerful friends like Keira Chan! And as if that was not enough for her, she went and snatched the Sys away from her! The only family she had left!

She would not let it all end like this. She would not fall this easily… She would make sure to wipe out the existence of the person responsible for how messy her life turned out… That person who took away everything from her…

"I will kill you Lana!" she shouted with gritted teeth.
