Chapter 269 She’s Trying to Kill Me!

Alaina looked down at the pointed–toe heels on her feet and wondered if she had really blinded Maia.
All she wanted was to vent her anger, to teach the little brat a lesson. She never meant to actually take her sight.
If Maia really went blind, would Ruth come after me for compensation?
I’m screwed.
Alaina quickly crouched beside her. “Are you okay? Can you still see?”
Maia clutched her eye. “Hurry, take me to the hospital!”
Alaina knew full well she had injured Maia’s eye, and a hospital visit would cost a fortune.
The money would undoubtedly have to come out of her own pocket. However, she had no money and no intention of paying.
There was no way she was taking her to the hospital.
Yet when she saw the blood still seeping from Maia’s eye, she was certain that it was bad. That eye was likely
gone.
Maia, realizing Alaina wasn’t moving, forced herself up, ready to go on her own.
Alaina quickly grabbed her arm. “Don’t go!”
Maia glared at her. “You’ve beaten me for God knows how long, and now you’ve injured my eye. What more do you want?”
Alaina stared at her with a complicated expression.
She knew this girl would ask for compensation.
So, she decided that she might as well go all the way to kill her. There was a pond at the far end of this quiet alley.
Alaina knew that Ruth never liked her daughter anyway. So, no one would even question it if Maia drowned.
“I’ll take you to the hospital,” Alaina said, grabbing Maia’s wrist and leading her deeper down the alley.
Maia wasn’t familiar with the area. She had only stopped by the market on a whim to pick up a few things.
At first, she truly believed Alaina was taking her to get help. But she noticed something was off as they neared the end of the alley.
There was only a pond ahead.
Maia’s heart skipped a beat, and she instantly tried to pull her hand away. “I–I w
Alaina’s grip tightened. “We’ll go home after the hospital.”
She began walking faster, dragging Maia with her. Maia’s heart filled with dread.

As they neared the water’s edge, Maia’s panic spiked. In desperation, she lunged forward and bit down on Alaina’s arm.
“Ah!” Alaina shrieked, yanking her arm back on instinct.
When she saw the blood dripping from the bite mark, rage consumed her. She grabbed the fleeing Maia and slammed her head into the wall again and again. “How dare you bite me? You little wretch! Go to hell!”
Furious and out of breath, Alaina no longer cared about dragging Maia to the pond. If she could beat her to death right here, that would do.
There were no cameras in the alley. No one would ever know what she had done.
Maia’s head throbbed with pain and dizziness. Blood had already started to trickle from her forehead.
She could feel the murderous intent radiating off Alaina. She knew Alaina wasn’t going to let her live.
She didn’t want to die like this.
“No! Help! Someone help me! She’s trying to kill me!”
Alaina jumped, instinctively looking toward the entrance of the alley. She sighed in relief after seeing no one there.

Then, she turned to Maia, and her expression grew darker. “Shut up! You filthy little thing–your mother can’t even stand you. You should’ve died a long time ago. I’m doing you a favor!”
“Help! Someone’s trying to kill me!” Maia didn’t care what Alaina was saying. She screamed, again and again, hoping someone might hear her.
The alley was remote, but Alaina still panicked at the thought of someone hearing. She grabbed Maia by the collar and dragged her to the pond. With one vicious shove, she pushed her in. “Go to hell!”
Splash!
Maia hit the water and thrashed desperately. “H–help… me…
Alaina glanced around. The two houses nearby were abandoned, and the entire area was deserted. No one would come to save Maia.
The pond was huge and deep. She was certain that Maia wouldn’t survive.
Watching Maia flail in the water, Alaina’s lips curled into a victorious smile. “Blame Caroline for this. You shouldn’t have gotten close to her, and you definitely shouldn’t have challenged me. You brought this on yourself. Now go keep my grandson company!”
That unborn child of Helen’s … at least he’d have this little tramp down there with him now. He won’t be lonely.
With that, she turned and walked away.
One of Maia’s eyes was completely blind, and the other could only watch as Alaina’s figure grew smaller and smaller, fading into the distance.
Despair filled her heart as she wondered if this was the end for her.
Chapter 269 She’s Trying to Kill Me!
She thought about her life. It had been nothing but misery. Maybe she really wasn’t meant to live.
Maia tilted her head back and closed her eyes. She spread her arms and stopped struggling, surrendering herself to death.
She waited for her last breath to fade away, but she heard a voice instead of death.
