Before we start I really like to apologize for keeping you guys waiting for 3 months straight. This is because I was really busy at school, and everytime I had a break, I just had a writer's block. The same thing happened to me this Christmas vacation because I originally intended to post this on Christmas Day.
Anyways, I hope you guys are okay. I also wanna say a Belated Merry Christmas and an advanced Happy New Year.
This chapter was rewritten many times, I wouldn't say it's my best but I hope you guys enjoy it.
Flashback:
Exam Day
An abandoned warehouse in the woods, located just a few kilometers outside Wawanakwa.
"YOU IDIOT!" A familiar muscular blonde guy screamed in anger as he raised his right foot before booting it towards the stomach of a specific person. "YOU HAD ONE JOB DANIEL, ONE JOB!" He kicked him hard in the stomach again causing the poor guy to grunt in pain.
"Alright Ryan, that's enough" A tall blonde caucasian girl said. She was wearing tight blue pants, knee high boots and a plain green long sleeve shirt. "Hurting him won't solve anything" She stated, crossing her arms. The buff muscular guy angrily turned to her.
"This b*tch just costed us 10 MILLION DOLLARS FOR F*CKS SAKE!" He angrily exclaimed.
"Augh, I know" She groaned in annoyance. "But like it or not, Daniel is the best spy out of all of us" She pointed out as Ryan just scoffed.
"...I'm sorry, him?" Ryan glanced to Daniel, who is lying on the floor, wrapping his arms around his stomach where the hunk kicked him. "Best spy out of all of us?" He chuckled in an angry manner before approaching the blonde girl.
"Briee...that was OUR CHANCE...OUR OPPORTUNITY...10 Million dollars is enough money for all of us in this group to start over!" He reminded her as the blonde girl slowly glanced at him, from a neutral look to a more annoyed look.
"All of us in this group to start over?...Really?" Her annoyed look slowly turned to a glare as she crossed her arms. "I think you meant, that money is enough for YOU to start over!" She exclaimed as the muscular guy raised an eyebrow.
"Don't be surprised Ryan, I've been working with you for more than 7 years now. I know damn well that once you get your hands off that money, you will easily run off with it without looking back because all you care about is yourself" She pointed out.
"Oh shut up Briee, you're acting like you wouldn't do the same thing if you were in my position" Ryan fired back.
"You're damn right, You wanna know why? Because I CARE about my group, even if our group is one of the most wanted gangs in the entirety of Canada, I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. You on the other hand only care about yourself, you're also pretty arrogant and hard headed. You only think about the price you're gonna get at the end of every plan but you NEVER consider the risk it will take to do that plan. Just like how you caused 5 of our members to be captured" Briee reminded the selfishness and carelessness of the Canadian muscular guy, who immediately grabbed the blonde woman by her sleeves, giving an angry glare. However, Briee couldn't really care less as she just gave an annoyed look even if she's already being lifted by Ryan.
"You don't scare me Ryan, you may be physically buff and fit...but you're mentally broken and demented" She fired back, as the dude grunted in anger. "So if you want money but don't wanna be caught at the same time then I suggest we stick to our Pon-Thwang business" She stated.
"And what about Taylor?!" He angrily asked.
"What about her?" She questioned.
"If she finds out that she failed the test then...we're doomed" He said with a hint of a little fear.
"Doomed? Oh please, we've been hiding around the country for years. She won't know where the heck we are" Briee pointed out. "Oh and not just that...you seem to forget that you are a FREAKING CON ARTIST FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" She angrily reminded.
"Augh...And what about the 10 Million dollars?...I don't think I can con her now that we haven't been able to exchange the exam papers" He eagerly asked as the blonde woman rolled her eyes.
"Oh my goodness, Did you even listen to a single thing I said? WE STICK TO THE PON THWANG BUSINESS. Forget the 10 Million dollars, you can't do anything about that right now. GOT IT?!" She said as ths muscular guy gave an annoyed sighed.
"Fine then!" He exclaimed as he finally released Briee out of his arms as he proceeded to storm out of the room. "But let's get one thing straight...I AM the LEADER...of this group. For now I'll stick with the Pon Thwang business...but if there was ever a chance I'll get that 10 Million Dollars, then I will take it. Even if I have to break someone to do it" Ryan stated before storming off the room. Leaving a very annoyed Briee and a very messed up Daniel alone.

Sunday
12:20 am
Heather's House
The raven haired girl is currently reading a magazine in the living room while her younger brother plays a video game. She then heard a case being closed up and turns to realize her mother packing up her manicure kit.
"Alright kids, I'll just be gone for a few hours, I currently have a client. I already ordered Chinese, it's gonna be here in a few minutes or you could also eat those leftover Spanish omelettes in the fridge" The mother announced just as she is about to walk towards the front door.
"Wait...which client are we talking about here mom?" Heather asked curiously.
"Uh..." Her mother stayed silent for a few seconds before finally revealing the truth. "It's Taylor Lennicks" She said before smiling sheepishly just as her daughter glared at her but soon transitioned to a neutral look.
"Okay" Hearher just shrugged before turning back to her magazine, much to her mother's surprise.
"...you're not gonna say anything to me...you know anything about Taylor and stuff?" Her mother asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nope" The raven haired girl replied flatly. "It's her birthday party and I don't care, end of story" She added as she continued to flip pages in her magazine, not caring about the situation. Her mother stood still for 5 seconds processing her daughter's response.
"Um...well okay then" Her mother said before felting her pockets, only realizing she forgot something. "Oh shoot, I forgot the car keys in my room" She mentioned before walking away and going upstairs instead. But as soon as the mother was out of sight, her daughter immediately stood up and grabbed her phone from the desk as well as her laptop. The younger brother noticed this and just narrowed his eyes.
"Where are you going?" Damien suspiscously asked.
"Look Damien, can you please keep quiet and not tell mom that I'll be gone for awhile" Heather said, still couldn't believe that she is asking a favor to her brother, the least trustworthy person in the family. But what choice does she have, if this is an opportunity to finally make her move towards Taylor then so it is.
"Hm?" Her brother gave an evil smirk.
"I'm serious here, please you cannot let mom know that I'll be gone somewhere" The raven haired girl begged.
"Where are you going then?" The brother asked suspiscously.
"It doesn't matter but please. I'M BEGGING YOU!" Heather begged as she clasped her hands together but her brother still gave her a glare.
"What's my reward?" His brother asked, much to her sister's annoyance but again, she doesn't have any choice.
"Augh fine, I'll buy you a new playstation!" She said just as her brother smirked.
"Deal!" Damien agreed just in time as they both heard the door shut upstairs. The raven haired girl quickly left the house just as her mother got downstairs, realizing her daughter is not in the living room.
"Where's Heather?" She asked.
"She's currently in the toilet right now" Damien lied as he agreed with his older sister.
"Well okay then, just tell her to pick up the Chinese food I ordered okay" Her mother said to which Damien nodded. The mother then left the house and walked towards her car in the parking area. Little did she know that her daughter is currently hiding in the backseat. She started the car and drove away.
Lennicks Mansion
12:30 am
Heather's mother finally arrived at the main car gate of the spoiled brat's mansion. The golden gates were opened as she proceeded to pass through the drive way before finally stopping at the parking area that is suitable for 10 more vehicles. She grabbed her manicure kit before stepping out of the car, leaving her daughter inside, strategizing on how she can make her way from the car to the spoiled brat's room.
Mini salon room:
The raven haired girl's mother entered the small salon like room, complete with a large mirror with golden borders, a white spinning chair, a white single sofa chair, a wooden white desk, shelves filled with supplies such as hairdryers and nail polishes with different colors and a sink. She was greeted by the spoiled brat's mother.
"Mia! Hi!" Kelly greeted as she hugged her.
"Hey!" Mia greeted back as she realized that Kelly's daughter is currently seated ny the desk, giving a confident look. "So...the usual?" She asked.
"Yes, the usual" Kelly replied as Mia sat in front of Taylor by the desk. The spoiled brat just gave a neutral look as Heather's mother prepared the kit and nail polishes. Knowing about the conflict going on between their daughters, Mia decided to just be polite as possible.
"MOM!...can you please tell Anderson to assist the deliveries...please?" The mood of the spoiled brat transitioned from annoyed to begging politely, much to Kelly's annoyance as she forced a smile.
"Yes dear" Kelly replied before turning away, hiding her completely annoyed face.
Back at the car:
The raven haired girl is plotting her way, peeking through the car window, noticing a guard walks by. It took a few more minutes before she notices that there are literally CCTV Cameras around. This made her even more worried, one small mistake, she will get caught.
"Crap!" She exclaimed as she peeked through her surroundings. The driveway is literally clear, there wasn't a single spot where she could hide. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea" She told herself. That is until a truck halted just right beside the car, completely blocking the view of the CCTV camera from the car. "I take it back" She confidently said as she quietly opened the car door and stepped out, her arms wrapped around her laptop. She hid against the side of the truck and took little steps, she then heard multiple footsteps approaching as well as chattering. Before proceeding she first gazed at the side of the truck, realizing that the truck delivered a brand new giant chocolate fountain.
"Pffttt Typical Taylor" She remarked before slowly walking towards the back of the truck, when she heard a familiar voice.
"Is this everything?" A voice asked.
"Yes sir, just sign here and here. The rest of the deliveries will be here in a few hours" Another voice replied.
"Alright then" The voice said.
The raven haired girl quickly took a peek and was shocked to see a familiar bodyguard.
"Anderson?!" She exclaimed in the quietest was way possible, completely shocked that the bodyguard is still not fired after everything that happened. She then notice a big long wooden suitcase, situated in a two wheeler hand cart. It is big enough to fit a person so the raven haired girl just took this opportunity.
"Alright, you guys move these parts of the fountain to the backyard while the others move these wooden suitcases to the master bedroom" Anderson ordered as multiple workers used carts to move the parts of the fountain while one worker moved the wooden suitcase. The asian girl quickly took a peek in a little hole, making sure she is on track. She watched as she is being taken to a lift, that went upwards to the second floor. She noticed a clear adjacent path so she purposely pushed the suitcase on the inside in order to fall off the cart. Luckily the worker only noticed an eptu open wooden suitcase as the asian girl quickly escaped, now hiding in an adjacent wall. She now has a clear path of the open hallway on the second floor, which is better because there are no CCTV cameras present in that area.
After walking across the open hallway, she finally reached Taylor's bedroom. She made sure no one saw her before entering the room and locking the door.
Back at the mini salon:
The room had a very awkward vibe, Taylor is just browsing through a magazine using her right hand while her other hand is being manicured by Mia, who is currently thinking of a way to lessen the awkwardness in the room.
"...so...Taylor...what do you want for your birthday?" Mia asked awkwardly as the spoiled brat turned to her, raising an eyebrow.
"Why do you care? It's not like you're invited to my party or anything" Taylor spoke rudely, much to Mia's annoyance but she tried her best to maintain her polite behavior.
"It's nothing but I'm just curious because you know...you're turning 18, a new chapter in your life as an adult" Mia said before chuckling awkwardly.
"Well if you're that curious then I better have new clothes, shoes and belts, all of which should be from Gucci. New bags and accessories all of which should be the limited editions from Royal Heads Inc. A new phone, a new room makeover and...a new car" The spoiled brat confidently said.
"Oh, well that's nice" The asian mother replied.
"Also, I don't mean to be rude but...you're daughter should learn to be more nicer you know" The spoiled brat mentioned, much to the mother's confusion.
"What do you mean?" Mia asked for clarification.
"Well you see, one of the main reasons she left the group is because of her stubbornness. I mean I gotta ask...she's not plotting anything against me isn't she?" Taylor asked suspiciously just as Mia gulped.
"Uh nope, not at all. She's not plotting against you I promise" The asian mother replied based on what she noticed about her daughter earlier.
"Oh that's good...because even if she plotted anything against me...I'll still win against her" The spoiled brat said, the asian mother didn't get what she's talking about, at the same time, Taylor lowered her right hand behind the desk to press a red button, without being noticed by Mia.
Back at the room:
Heather has already searched the bed, the shelves, the rugs, the frames as well as the drawers, but still she hasn't find any suspicious clue or evidence that she could use against Taylor. She also made sure that every area she searched still looks the same as before so no one will be suspicious.
"AUGH, WHERE THE HECK IS IT?!" The raven haired girl exclaimed as she continued to search every drawer. "Okay Heather think, where would Taylor hide something suspiscous?" She asked herself before thinking for a good 15 seconds.
"...that's it!" She finally had an idea before she proceeded to heard towards the brat's walk-in-closet. From there, she used a chair to reach a gold colored small compartment at the top, she slid it open and there it was, where she found a couple of flash drives. "Bingo!" She exclaimed happily before grabbing all 5 flash drives and soon inserted each at her laptop, copying every single file.
10 Minutes later
She is already in the middle of copying all the files from the third flash drive when all off a sudden she heard the bedroom door opening, to which she was confused because she made sure she locked it. But she immediately widened her eyes when she heard footsteps approaching.
"Oh sh*t!" She muttered as she quickly grabbed all the flash drives as well as her laptop before quickly hiding in a cabinet with a sliding door.
"Come on, come on, upload quickly" She muttered in the dark cabinet before completely staying quiet when she heard the footsteps are louder indicating there are people around the walk in closet.
The raven haired girl couldn't hear anything aside from the quiet sounds of her own breath, she clasped her hands together, hoping she won't get caught. It took 15 seconds before she heard silence, thinking she was safe. SYKE. The door was slid open, completely startling her as she then noticed a red head guy, glaring at her.
The raven haired girl smiled sheepishly before proceeding to kick the guy in the face. She quickly got out of the cabinet and ran outside the walk-in-closet, only to be knocked out out of nowhere by a person. She was hit hard in the head that she remained unconscious and just fell on the hard floor in the middle of the bedroom.
2:00 pm
Heather's House
The asian girl's mother finally came home, feeling a bit drained but also a bit skeptical about what the brat meant a while ago. She panted as she opened the front gate before calling out to her son and daughter.
"Heather! Damien! I'm home!" She called out as she opened the front door, realizing that Damien is the only one in the living room. "Hey honey" She greeted. "Where's your sister?" She asked as she dropped her keys by the coffee table.
"Oh uh...she's currently in her bedroom, busy doing something. She doesn't want anyone to go in there for awhile" The brother lied as the mother just nodded, completely used to her daughter's behavior like that. The mother's phone suddenly rang as a familiar number tried to call her, she immediately answered the call.
"Hello" She greeted, but soon widened her eyes and froze in complete shock of what she just heard. "WHAT?!" She exclaimed as the little brother looked concerned.
2:07 pm
W Beauty Salon
A very high class beauty salon, located right in the city center of Wawanakwa. The whole street is now flooded by police cars, reporters and other people. The area is currently being investigated as a car hurriedly drove down the street and halted, nearly hitting a police car parked. The asian mother quickly stepped out as she gasped when she noticed the front glass door of her beauty salon is now damaged, shards of glass were scattered everywhere. She then took a peek inside through the glass window and was even more horrified because the interior of her salon is completely vandalized. Mirrors and Walls were spray painted, barber chairs were ripped open, all the supplies were completely dispersed around the building, The sinks and marble desks were all damaged. It looked like a tornado just passed by the salon.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mia screamed in horror, completely devastated of what she just witnessed. Her only business and only source of income, completely trashed. A police officer then approached her.
"Are you Mia Wilson?" The dark haired policemen asked. At first the asian mother couldn't responded, she was just too bamboozled to even process on what she's seeing right now, she soon nodded as clasped her hands around her mouth in shock.
"W...W...WHAT HAPPENED TO MY STORE?!" She cried.
"Alright calm down ma'am, the police are currently investigating the area. All questions will soon be answered" The policemen said as the asian mother just scoffed, she doesn't even know what or how to respond. She just started walking back and forth, completely angered and in mental pain. It felt like a truck ran over her multiple times. Everything just came out shocking.
2:45 pm
Wawanakwa Police Station
Interrogation room
"NO, NO, NO...IT CAN'T BE!!!!" The asian mother exclaimed as all the taken pictures and evidences were shown to her by none other than Officer Nelson.
The pictures shown was a phrase that was spray painted in the walls of the salon. The phrase says "Thanks for the Money, Mom :)".
Her daughter's ID was also found scattered on the floor. The final straw was the CCTV footage, showing three guys in hoodies and a raven haired girl wearing short shorts and a red crop top. It was none other than her daughter, Heather...or so she thought it was her.
The officer just glanced at her, giving a worried look as the asian mother just clasped her hands at the table, completely bewildered about what she just witnessed, sooner she started shaking her head sideways as her eyes widened.
"I'm really sorry Mrs. Wilson but-" The officer was cut off.
"NO!!!" Mia screamed in complete anger as the officer gave a worried sigh. "DO YOU REALLY EXPECT MY DAUGHTER WOULD DO THIS?!?" She angrily exclaimed.
"Look ma'am, I'm not saying that your daughter would do this but these evidences clearly shows that she was the one who-" Officer Nelson was once agaij cut off.
"NO!!!! SHE WOULD NEVER DO THIS...HEATHER MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A PERFECT DAUGHTER BUT I F*CKIN KNOW THAT SHE WOULD NEVER GO THIS FAR!!!!!" The asian mother has never been so angry and confused in her life that she started tearing up and even started getting a little woozy from all the stress that is coming to her right now. Her feet theb started shaking as she nearly lost balance. Officer Nelson quickly held her hands and called for help.
"She would never do that...she would never do that" She continued to mutter as she slowly sat down in the chair with the officer's assistance.
3:50pm
The raven haired groaned as she woke up, feeling the cold concrete floor she's lying on. As soon as she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the single lightbulb in the plastered ceiling. She rose from the floor, grunting in pain when she felt the bruise on the left side of her forehead.
"Ow" She muttered before immediately standing up, maintaining her balance as she widened her eyes when she realized metal bars are surrounding her.
"Where the heck am I?...Is this a prison cell?!?" She questioned in panic and complete confusion. She then took a glance of the room, she was in and took a closer look. It was a brown room with a ceiling fan, a chair and a desk. There were only 3 objects on top of the desk, which were Heather's house key and a couple of hair pins that she uses to pick locks. The third object was a laptop but unfortunately it doesn't belong to the raven haired girl, since the laptop was colored grey, in contrast with her white laptop. She also noticed that her cellphone is missing.
"What the...NO, NO, NO!" She started to panic as she heard a door open, revealing a very familiar bodyguard.
"ANDERSON?!" She exclaimed as the bodyguard ignored her, he continued to walk towards the desk, where she opened the asian girl's laptop.
"What are you doing?! WHERE AM I?!" She angrily questioned but the bodyguard didn't respond, he just continued typing on her laptop. "HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU!" She yelled in complete anger but once again, the bodyguard completely ignored her and continued doing his business. The raven haired girl just scoffed in complete disbelief.
"You sneaky girl" The bodyguard finally spoke up. "I gotta hand it to you Heather, you're strategy is good but...Taylor managed to outsmart you" He pointed out.
"What?" Heather asked, raising an eyebrow. The door opened again, this time revealing a familiar face. "YOU!" She said in complete anger
"What? You angry that I managed to outsmart you?..(scoffs)...pathetic, you should know better Heather. I know you're game of being a sneaky b*tch, which is why I asked your mother to come in the first place because I know you'll take that opportunity to finally expose me" Taylor explained as the raven haired girl was completely dismayed. "Sadly, I played your game and in the end of the day, that's what you get for plotting against me and the queen stays queen!" Taylor taunted as Heather grunted in anger.
"Oh don't be mad Heather, it's your fault you left the group in the first place, now look what happened...you became soft, sure you're still sneaky but come on, you completely forgot that I'm the biggest manipulator and strategist in this group, which is why I became the leader" The spoiled brat pointed out.
"Alright if that's the case then you do realize that people will soon notice that I'm missing right?" Heather reminded.
"The thing is...people already do Heather" The brat said as she happily glanced at her manicured nails.
"What?" The asian girl asked as the brunette gave an evil smirk.
"Anderson, show her" Taylor ordered as the body guard held the laptop and approached the locked up asian girl. He then showed a video. What comes next has completely shocked Heather.
It wasn't just any video, it was a local news report being broadcasted live, along with a picture of her being showed and being discussed.
"This just in, 1:45 pm this afternoon. The W Beauty Salon in downtown Wawanakwa has been robbed worth of 50,000 dollars. The store was found vandalized, walls and mirrors have been spray painted, salon supplies have been trashed. CCTV footages have shown that the robbers used a hatch in the backdoor of the building to get inside. The robbers are shown to be three unidentified men in hoodies and a teenager, who is identified to be Heather Wilson, a student of Wawanakwa High School" The reporter said as a picture of the raven haired girl was shown, at the same time the CCTV footage was played. Much to Heather's shock. "Police are already tracking the four suspects, though some may say that these four people including Heather Wilson, could be part of the group of Canada's most wanted criminal, Ryan Talker" The reported finished the same time as the video. Leaving a very baffled Heather, who just froze in sight to what she just witnessed. The spoiled brunette proceeded to chukle as she clapped, celebrating on how she managed to outsmart the raven haired girl.
"I would like to thank my friend Ryan for contributing to this idea, my friend Brianna for dressing up as Heather, and to my bodyguard Anderson for being the one to capture you and locked you up in this cage" Taylor thanked with the bodyguard giving a neutral look. "Brianna and her friends are currently hiding in the woods right now, with your cellphone and laptop. Don't worry, they won't get caught. Either way, the police are already finding you Heather, and your mother probably hates you now" The spoiled brat explained as Heather started growling in anger.
"Why are you so angry Heather? YOU were the one who exposed us. YOU got us expelled from our High School. I'm just avenging myself and my friends. In other words, I'm giving them justice" Taylor explained.
"Avenging them? JUSTICE?!? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT JUSTICE MEANS?!? You don't want justice, you want VENGEANCE!!! Not only that, you involved my MOTHER into this incident, you selfish b*tch! She didn't even do anything to you!" The asian girl have never been so angry. All of the stress was just coming to her, first she was captured by her worst enemy, now she finds out that her face is all over the news, framed for something she didn't even do. The worst part that completely devastated her was that her mother's main source of income was involved in this. Sure she wasn't really that close to her mother but she was still a good person, if it wasn't for her mother she wouldn't still be studying in Wawanakwa High School, and the worst part is her mother was completely innocent, now she feels like it was her own fault that her mother got involved in this, if she didn't play a sneaky move then none of this wouldn't have happened.
"What? Your mom was useful for my plan. I just played your game Heather" The spoiled brat said. "And remember...the queen stays queen" She taunted before walking away with Anderson, who gave a worried look.
"NO!!! AUGH, I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!!" Heather screamed in complete anger, hitting the metal bars loudly, rattling the cell. "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!!!!!" She yelled and cried, now stuck in a mysterious location with her worst enemy, what could go wrong?
And that's it for Chapter 14, I really apologize for this chapter being short. Originally this would be longer but I just decided to split it into two parts.
Please leave a review and see you guys on the next chapter :)
