**TITLE: Worst Fear 186**

My private investigator, Harry, had gifted me a remarkable pen, one that concealed a hidden camera within its sleek casing. However, in the midst of my chaotic life, I had left that precious pen sitting on my kitchen counter, an oversight that compelled me to return home. As I entered, I encountered Lydia bustling around in the kitchen, and despite my urgency, I found it impossible to resist engaging her in a brief conversation.

Settling into the driver’s seat, I glanced down at the pen resting in my palm, marveling at its inconspicuous design. There was no way anyone could ever suspect that such a seemingly ordinary writing instrument could capture video. Once I activated the recording, I knew the files would seamlessly transfer to my laptop. The details of where I would store them were still a mystery to me, but I felt a surge of confidence that I would figure it out later.

With a firm press of the accelerator, the car surged forward, gliding down the road. Soon, I found myself halted behind a pristine white Mercedes, the traffic light ahead glowing a dull red. I let out a frustrated sigh and leaned back against the seat, allowing the weight of my thoughts to settle in.

Victoria was likely already at our meeting point; a little delay wouldn’t be detrimental. Just as the light flickered to green, my phone buzzed, jolting me from my reverie. It was Harry calling.

“Hello,” I answered, maintaining a steady tone as the call connected.

“Mrs. Gloria, you won’t believe who I just stumbled upon!” he exclaimed, his voice brimming with excitement.

While I appreciated his enthusiasm, the mention of someone else felt trivial in light of my overwhelming concern for Irene.

“Who did you find?” I asked, my patience wearing thin. I preferred to get straight to the point.

“Why not take a guess? It’s quite the surprise!” His eagerness radiated through the phone, but I felt a flicker of annoyance.

“I’m currently driving, Harry. Either tell me or I’m hanging up,” I replied, my tone firm. It seemed he recognized the gravity in my voice, as his demeanor shifted to match my seriousness.

“I met with Megan,” he said, and I felt my brows knit together in confusion, waiting for him to elaborate, but he remained silent.

“And who exactly is that?” I pressed, my irritation bubbling beneath the surface. I had no time for vague references.

“She’s a maid who assisted the midwife when both women gave birth. She has important information—things that I’m sure you’d want to know. She has news about Irene.”

A chill ran down my spine at the mention of Irene’s name. If this woman possessed any insights regarding my sister, I was desperate to hear them.

I quickly glanced at my watch; I was running just a few minutes ahead of schedule. Biting my lower lip, I weighed my options. I yearned to confront Victoria, to hold her accountable for the havoc she had wreaked on my family, and the potential news about Irene was equally pressing.

“Where are you?” I inquired, urgency creeping into my voice.

He relayed the details, and I swiftly changed lanes, bringing the car to a halt in front of a towering building. Harry was already waiting for me at the entrance, his presence an anchor amidst the storm of my thoughts.

As I walked alongside him, our footsteps fell into a familiar rhythm. He began recounting how he had come across Megan, the maid who had been present during Irene’s delivery. My heart raced as I listened intently, fear coiling in my stomach. With each step, I felt weaker, as if the weight of the world was pressing down on me, threatening to crush me against the ground.

“Miss Megan will share everything with you,” Harry said, halting before the door to the room where she awaited.

My chest constricted painfully, and my legs threatened to buckle beneath me. I instinctively reached out to steady myself against the wall, feeling the cool surface beneath my palm.

The thought that my sister had perished while giving birth would haunt me for the rest of my days. Harry gently placed a hand on my back, concern etched across his features.

“Are you alright? We don’t have to do this right now,” he offered softly, but I shook my head, straightening my posture.

“I’m already here. What’s the point of delaying?” I replied, my voice steadier than I felt. He withdrew his hand, and I inhaled sharply, attempting to calm the frantic beating of my heart. The effort was futile.

My hand quivered as I reached for the doorknob, knowing that inside this room was the woman who held the key to Irene’s fate. Once I stepped through that threshold, I would be armed with knowledge that could irrevocably alter my life. The prospect terrified me, but my desire for the truth was far more potent than my fear.

I shut my eyes briefly, inhaling deeply before opening them again. My yearning for answers overshadowed my dread. With a determined breath, I pushed the door open.

Inside, a woman sat on the bed, her back turned to us. She wore a simple white top, and her gray hair fell softly down her shoulders. Upon hearing the door creak, she turned to face us.

Her skin bore the marks of age, wrinkles etching a story across her face, and her eyes were deep-set, shadowed by dark circles. When our gazes locked, she offered a small, sad smile—one that seemed genuine yet tinged with sorrow.

She rose and approached me, extending her hand. “Good evening, I’m Megan.”

Words eluded me as I stood there, transfixed, my vision blurring as tears threatened to spill. I fought to maintain my composure, knowing I had to hold it together.

“Do you know Irene?” I managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper. The reality felt too painful to confront; in my heart, my sister was still alive, vibrant in my memories.

“Yes,” she replied simply. I fished a photograph from my bag—the same one I carried everywhere, a lifeline to my memories.

We settled onto the bed, and Megan began to share everything she knew about Victoria, Irene, and the events of that fateful night. As she spoke, my shoulders trembled, and tears streamed down my cheeks, smudging my carefully applied makeup. I could no longer contain my grief; I buried my face in my hands and sobbed.

If only tears had the power to resurrect the dead. If only I could rewind time and reach Irene before it was too late.

But wishes were just that—wishful thinking.

I struck my chest with my fist, the pain a reflection of my anguish. “Why Irene? She was such a sweet girl!” My eyes burned with unshed tears.

Irene had been far too kind to have met such a tragic end. I slid off the bed and onto the floor, the world around me fading as Megan enveloped me in her arms. She didn’t try to silence my cries; instead, tears glistened in her eyes as she held me, offering silent support.

Time slipped away, and it took nearly thirty minutes for me to regain my composure. My gaze drifted into the distance, unfocused and lost.

A gentle touch on my shoulder broke through the fog, but I didn’t stir. Megan had helped me back onto the bed. “Your phone has been ringing incessantly. I don’t know who it is, but they seem determined to reach you,” she informed me, handing me my phone.

Accepting the device, I glanced at the caller ID, a sinking feeling settling in my stomach. The name on the screen ignited a fire within me, a burning desire for vengeance that coursed through my veins.

The phone flickered to life, ringing again, the name glaring back at me. With a surge of resolve, I ended the call and turned to Megan.

“Can you do something for me?” I asked, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside.

Though she appeared cautious, she nodded. “What do you need?”

“This is what I want you to do…” I leaned closer, whispering my plan into her ear. When I pulled back, I found determination shining brightly in her eyes.

“You don’t need to ask me twice. If it’s about that, I’ll do it a hundred times over,” she vowed, her voice unwavering.

I took a moment to fix my makeup once more, knowing that I needed to present myself well. As I worked, I sent a quick text to Victoria. I couldn’t trust myself to speak to her directly. I informed her that I was caught up in something important but would join her shortly.

Her response came almost instantly, granting me permission to take my time.

With my heels clicking against the polished floor, I strode forward, each step resonating with purpose. I had made a reservation at a luxurious seven-star hotel, and as I entered, a man dressed in black trousers and a crisp white button-down approached, guiding me to the table I had reserved.

The sounds of cutlery clinking against plates mingled with the hum of conversation, but my focus was solely on Victoria, who was already seated at a secluded table. A floor-to-ceiling window framed a breathtaking view of the city, but the beauty of the scene was lost on me.

When Victoria caught sight of me, she stood, moving to embrace me. But I recoiled, a wave of revulsion washing over me. How could I possibly embrace the woman who had not only attempted to take my daughter’s life but had also murdered my sister?

Her makeup did little to conceal the stress etched into her features. “You’re finally here,” she said, her smile faltering as I failed to return it.

I took a step back, watching as her eyes darted around, searching for an explanation. “What’s wrong? Are you alr—”

Before she could finish her sentence, I struck her face with my open palm, the force of my anger erupting in that single moment. She gasped, surprise flooding her expression, but that shock was nothing compared to the second slap that followed, a cathartic release of all the pent-up rage I had been holding inside.

Conclusion

In the aftermath of that fateful encounter, I felt a strange sense of liberation wash over me. The weight of my grief and anger had been suffocating, but in those moments of confrontation, I had reclaimed a fragment of my power. Each slap was not just an expression of my rage towards Victoria; it was a cathartic release of the pain I had been harboring since Irene’s tragic loss. As I stood there, heart racing and breathless, I realized that this was only the beginning of my journey towards justice. I was no longer a passive observer in my own life; I had become an active participant, determined to uncover the truth and protect those I still held dear.

With newfound resolve, I turned my focus outward, ready to confront the challenges that lay ahead. The tears I had shed for Irene would fuel my pursuit of justice, and the pain of betrayal would sharpen my instincts. I knew the road would be fraught with obstacles, but I was armed with the knowledge that I was not alone. Megan’s unwavering support reminded me that I could lean on others as I navigated this treacherous path. As I walked away from Victoria, I felt a flicker of hope ignite within me—a hope that, despite the darkness of my circumstances, I could emerge stronger and more resilient than ever. I was ready to face my worst fears, not just for myself, but for Irene and the love that would forever bind us.
