Chapter 24 Being bitch to her sister

"GOOD MORNING!" Janice greeted Nica happily when she spotted her alone while drinking coffee in the garden.

Nica put out a smiling face before turning to look at her half-sister. She looked at her from head to feet.

Janice ignored her sister's teasing face. She sat on the chair in front of her and gave her a big smile.

"It seems to me that you had a good night's sleep," Nica mentioned while smiling at Janice.

"You're not wrong, last night was my most memorable night and I will never forget it!" Janice said ambiguously while touching her neck.

Nica smirked and followed where her palm touched with a stare. "Looks like there was a bad insect that kissed your neck."

"Well, aren't you curious why Chrismith has been still asleep until now?" She teasingly asked Nica. She laughed when the smile on Nica's lips faded and she is now glaring at her.

"He couldn't sleep last night so I accompany him," Janice added really happily.

Nice lifted up the cup of coffee and took a sip before speaking. "Then, what happened?"

The smile on Janice's lips faded because of Nica's reaction. She seems excited to know the next part of her story.

"Why'd you stop?" This time, it was Nica who has a smile on her face. "Do you want me to continue your story of how you seduce Chris last night in the terrace?"

Janice stared at Nica with eyes full of rage this time.

"Can you tell me what Aunt Luisa said to you? You know, I left the scene when I saw her come out." Nica teasingly continued asking questions to her half-sister.

"You, fucking bitch!"

Nica was not prepared for what her half-sister did next. She snatched the cup she was holding and threw out the coffee on her face.

"Oh my God!" Luisa screamed from afar when she saw what Janice did to her half-sister. She came running toward them and held Nica, who screamed because of the pain.

Janice trembled with fear when she saw the lady. She also panicked and it was late for her to know that she made a mistake. It slipped her mind, because of the irritation, that they are currently in the care of Chrismith's family.

"Are you okay, Nica?" Luisa worriedly asked the young lady. She lifted up the young lady's head to see her face, but her hands remained covering her own face.

"It hurts!" Nica exclaimed in a whisper.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, Auntie. She was insulting me, that's—"

"This is not the right time, Janice. Call Chrismith right now!" There was anger in the lady's voice and she does not want to hear her explanation.

"What happened?" Chris could hear his mother's angry voice from afar. He felt worried when he saw that she was hugging Nica.

"Ma, what happened?"

"Chris, I'm sorry!" Janice said while crying, she feels that her world was shuttered at the moment. She knew that the coffee was not that hot anymore, but because her sister has white skin, what she did will leave a red mark on her cheeks.

"Chris, bring her to her room first. I'll just get a first aid kit and go there immediately." Luisa ordered her son. She handed Nica, who remained to bow her head while her hands are on both sides of her cheeks, to him.

Chris did not have a second thought, he carried Nica and brought her to her room. He did not pay attention to Janice, who was following them and apologizing again and again.

Nica was surprised by Chris when he suddenly carried her, but she did not show it. She peeked at her sister from the young man's arm and smiled at her before burying her face on Christmith's chest. She feels great, even though her cheeks are hurting because, for the first time, she brought out her sister's inner self in front of other people. She is happy because she felt Chris' mother's genuine care when she hugged her. That kind of hug is something she missed, the hug from a mother.

Instead of following up to Nica's room, Janice locked herself up in her room. Anyhow, she is not regretting what she did to Nica. She walked here and there in her room while thinking of a way to make Luisa's image of her good again.

"You're such a bitch, Nica! Next time, I'll pour acid on your face!" Janice angrily muttered before getting her phone.

"What's the problem?" Margaret asked straight away after answering her call.

"Ma, help me! I don't what I should do now!" She scratched her head while talking to her mother from the other line.

"Darn! Why are you being careless?" Margaret scolded her daughter in a loud voice. She cursed her because she acts silly when she is not by her side.

"Can you not scold, you're not helping!" She also raised her voice. She threw the phone on the bed because of her irritation.

"What's the matter?" Alfonso asked his wife when he noticed the anger on her face.

"We need to follow them in America as soon as possible. I'm embarrassed to Luisa because your daughters are causing many troubles for them."

Alfonso massaged his temple. "This is your fault, if you didn't make your daughter go there earlier than what's planned, then those wouldn't have happened!"

Margaret's aura suddenly became soft, she acts loving toward her husband to make him forgive her. He is ten years older than her and there are signs that he has weakened, he often gets sick, too. She does not want to be a reason for him to have an illness, she does not want his health to be complicated.

"How are you feeling, hija?" Luisa asked worriedly. She had put cream on her cheek and she is thankful that the coffee Janice poured on her was not that hot.

"I'm okay now, thank you for treating and worrying about me," Nica said to the lady. Chris has not left her side and he is even holding one of her hands with his two hands.

"I can't believe that she can do this to you!" Luisa uttered in disbelief. According to what her eyes have seen, they were just talking calmly. But she could not hear them because she was afar.

"I'm sorry for causing such trouble," Nica said, embarrassed.

"I know that you and your sister are not on good terms. And I knew her as someone who can't hurt other people. So, I'm wondering if you had said something to her that made her so mad?"

Nica stopped herself from sniggering at what the lady said about the attitude of her half-sister. But she could not find fault in her because even she, believed in the kindness her half-sister showed to her then.

"Ma, even if Nica said something not nice, what she did still isn't right." Chris defended the young lady.

"I know, son, but..."

"She showed me a kiss mark on her neck." Nica cut off the other things she would say.

"What?" Chris and his mother said simultaneously.

"Nica, whatever Janice said to you isn't true!" Chris said.

"I know my sister, she's good at making stories, so don't sweat it." She replied calmly at the young man.

Chris sighed with relief at what he heard. His mother could not speak. She does not know what she should feel at the moment.

"It's not my thing to discredit somebody, nor listen to what people say. She became mad when I said that it's impossible that Chris will like her so she should stop dreaming about that day because it won't come." Nica was looking at his mother while explaining

Luisa was saddened by what she heard. She had always supported Janice, but now she doubts her.

Chris held Nica's right palm again and squeezed it gently to let her know that he believes her.

"When I said that if ever Chris really did that on her, it's because she seduced her, and then she became pissed off." Nica continued explaining to the two.

"There was nothing that happened between us if that's what she said to you." Chris defended himself.

"Chris's telling the truth, Hija. I just ordered him to send your sister in her room and I saw my son came out immediately."

"I don't believe her, but I just can't stop thinking bad things," Nica confessed her feeling.

The two looked at each other. With the expression on the young lady's face right now, they know they cannot force her to stop thinking that way. Luisa excused herself first and ordered their maid to bring breakfast to the two's rooms.

"Does it still hurt?" Chris asked in a tender voice while caressing Nica's cheek. Its redness had lessened because of the cream his mother put on it.

"I'm okay, you can leave me now." Nica felt awkward with the young man. They have finished eating, but he still has not left.

Chris stood up even though he does not want to, and put his hands in the pockets of his shorts. "We won't go anywhere today, so just rest. If you need anything, just call me or the maids here."

"How about the cake and other things that are scheduled for today?"

"I'll cancel it and reschedule for tomorrow."

Nica did not disagree with the young man. Even though the wedding would be simple, it has all the things that you can see in a luxurious wedding.

She did not go out of her room because she was pretending to be very hurt by what Janice did. When it was lunchtime, Nica go out of her room and heard that her half-sister did not go out of her room and she did not even eat her breakfast.
