The first thing Ruth did was transfer all the money to an overseas account she was aware that there would be no second chance because Aaron would get a notification that money had been transferred. If she did it in bits, that devil in human skin would block her access.

Her next move was to buy a few items but with a popular face like hers, she was bound to get noticed yet she didn't want that.

Near the ATM machine was a mini mall, she wanted to rush inside but it was a bit crowded because people did a lot of shopping in the evening hours. Close by was a school and she was in luck because students were walking home.

Ruth whistled attracting two girls' attention. She signaled them to come over and they did.

"Listen kids....."

The girls were not pleased with how she addressed them. "Kids? Lady we are in high school!" One retorted.

Ruth rolled her eyes to the sky for a fleeting second then looked at them. "Just listen up you brats, i don't have all day do me a favor and I'll pay you two thousand dollars." She spoke rapidly.

The girls skipped the part where she had called them brats and focused on the money.

"Lady are you for real? What do you want us to do for you?" The other girl asked.

Ruth wore a victorious smile. "Nothing much, just buy me some a pair of scissors, binoculars, hat and black glasses." She shrugged and waited for them to respond.

The girls traded looks and shared cunning smiles. "Top up the money you are giving us." One said.

They were both quick witted and could tell that something was stopping Ruth from going to the near by mini mall.

"What? Hell no! Are you trying to rob me?" Ruth folded her arms only for the girls to shrug and begin to walk away.

One halted her steps in hesitation but followed her friend in the end as she was pulled unwillingly. Ruth considered her urgent need and changed her mind. What was this little money in comparison to what she was going to obtain tonight?

"Alright fine! You little thieves. How much more do you want?" Ruth's chin vibrated, she was getting impatient and frustrated.

The girls took four steps back and the taller one who appeared to be in charge as she was the one doing the most bargaining folded her arms across her chest.

"Make it five." She looked at her finger nails as she was done bargaining.

"Bring the damn things first." Ruth gave them three hundred dollars to buy what she needed.

They left and returned in five minutes with the things she wanted. After she paid the students off, Ruth wore the hat and shades and went inside the mall. She bought a nice dress, bag, some make up and shoes.

She searched for a shop that sold sleep inducing herbs and drugs. She requested for something that could be strong enough to knock out a horse. When she got the perfect substance, Ruth checked into a motel that was closest to the Everton Hotel. From the side window she could clearly see through the binoculars all the guests that were strolling in.

She called a person from her former not so savory circle and made another order for a different kind of drug. It was delivered in thirty minutes and then Ruth got to work, preparing herself for her own kind of party.

She trimmed her hair, turning it into a bob cut, took a bath and ordered something to eat. A very hungry Ruth practically inhaled the food as she was starving. She had never gone hungry in her life, she didn't know that being starved was so terrible.

The food almost choked her and she was forced to slow down and chew like a human.

"Fucking stupid Gabriels." she mumbled when she was finished.

She brushed her teeth and resumed the job of watching for her prey to arrive. It was not long before the guests began to arrive. From Evelyn's family, to business men, celebrities and politicians

She sneered when Phoebe, grandma Mayfair and grandma Saxon appeared.

Hate filled her soul to the core especially when she looked at grandma Mayfair and Phoebe. The two had taken the lead in ruining her life.

"Stupid bitches, you will be surprised to see me back very soon." She muttered.

When she returned, she would make sure to get rid of them permanently this time round and leave no stones unturned. She would take her time and do things slowly, not rushing like she had done before. Hеlp us оut by rеаding оn М|V|LЕМ5РYR.

Her eyes roamed outside and her gaze fell on her target, Collin, he was with Andre and Luke. The moment they entered the hotel, Ruth also got into action.

She secured the hat and shades and moved across the street to the Everton Hotel where she got herself a room.

Once entering, she took the neutralizer the shop attendant had given her. It was to help her wake up faster after burning the strong sleeping incense.

She opened a bottle of wine which she had come with and dumped some white powder inside. She had seen such things being done before but she didn't think she would ever have to resort to them.

That bitch Phoebe had reduced her to a gutter rat from a princess. She would avenge the injustice which she had suffered and make her pay.

"This better work because it cost an arm and leg. "She said as a thread of smoke began to come out of the incense. She placed it behind the curtain and moved on to the next phase which was tearing her clothes and putting more injuries on herself especially her face.

She was already in so much pain after the lashes Aaron gave her but to look more pitiful she had to spill some blood. Ruth began to bang her head on the bathroom wall until she was satisfied with her appearance. All that was left was to call her prey.
