Chapter 468: The broken promise

"Anyway, I stayed around because my bag was still in the car, I could not leave because it had my phone, Identification cards, keys and the twenty thousand dollars in cash which had been paid upfront. The race suddenly started before I could go back for my bag and ten minutes later there was a loud explosion. Wusi and I run to the scene of the explosion, I don’t know how it happened but Fisher and Rollins collided. The cars were leaking fuel, little sparks were flying and they could explode at any moment. I remember the smell of that rubber burning, it was so strong. But we did our best to pull them out and save their lives however the girl in Fisher’s car was dead so we panicked. The fire was getting bigger, we knew that people would be coming at any moment because the cloud of smoke was so big that it was bound to be noticed and I was crying loudly because I was scared and I did not know what to do but then Wusi here suggested that we run away. We had pulled them out of the cars as best as we could, I had my purse. The other girl was dead, there was nothing we could do anymore, you can guess what decision I made next after all its the reason why we are here tonight."

She squatted down and raised Wusi’s head up with her right hand index finger. "Why have you dragged me back into this you stupid fucking idiot? This was a secret which both of us were supposed to take to the grave. All you had to do was keep your mouth shut but even something that small defeated you." She slapped him heavily across the cheek and he fell to to the ground. The slap was so loud, it sounded as if something had been shattered and the royal guard that had brought her to the glass house shivered. One slap from this woman had probably broken that man’s jaw. He recalled the moment when she had threatened him with causing a scene. If he had stopped her, what would she have done to him? His arm was broken and he was in pain but he stayed in one place. This was not a woman they could touch.

Chi Lian stood up and said, "I might have run away from the scene of the accident back then but I turned back. I did not feel right about just leaving them there on the ground, probably in pain and dying but Wusi here stopped me." She stepped on his leg forcefully and shattered it. "Do you remember what you said to me before I called the police? You told me that we were foreigners in this empire and nobody would believe that we were not involved in the accident somehow, especially not their families. You came from a poor family and me a mediocre one while Fisher and Rollins came from very wealthy backgrounds. Their families would do everything possible to make us pay for what happened to their sons because someone had to be blamed for what happened. You told me that Rollins face probably had the mark of the slap I gave him which would make the police think that their was a struggle in the car that caused the accident, I smelled like alcohol and my fingerprints were on the bottle of gin. I would not be able to escape being imprisoned if the police got their hands on me. You said that with one girl dead, the police would be eager to arrest and pin the crime on someone and it would not be Fisher or Rollins. I reminded you that you had been taking pictures which were evidence that we had not been with them when the cars crushed. You told me that the pictures proved I was in the car with Rollins, we were drinking together and I allowed him to drive while he was under the influence. Even if I did not go to prison for murder I would still go to prison for something else and you made it very clear to me that their families would do their best to see me be convicted and sent to a very bad prison where they would pay off some inmates or a warden to see to it that I was beaten everyday, raped, stabbed or killed. You frightened me so much and yet despite all that I called the police, reported the accident and then deactivated my phone. I was brave enough to do something while you weaseled your way out of everything and run away leaving me behind like a coward. The next day you showed up and told me that there were four weeks left until graduation all we had to do was keep our heads down and our lips sealed and everything would be okay. I was young and naïve back then, I did not know much about the law which was something you took advantage of greatly. I had not committed a single crime ,in fact I was the victim because Rollins assaulted me. I was also a hero because I pulled you and forced you to help me pull them out of the cars and I called the police which saved the lives of two people. But I was also weak hearted and eventually I would have told the police the truth if they approached me.

But you probably knew that and for some reason it worried you because when the police questioned you the next day because of your close friendship with Fisher and Rollins you used me as your alibi without a heads up, you claimed that you were with me all day which was another crime, lying to the police. You made sure that we were accomplices and if you went down, I would go down with you.

We made a promise Wusi, never to tell anybody this secret but it looks like I am the only one that has held up her end of the deal. You have been talking and you will keep talking. Perhaps someday you will lack money and talk to someone from the Fisher or Rollins family and knowing you the talk will be about me. You will lie and claim that I was responsible in part for the accident and they will come after me because Fisher is paralyzed and Rollins has been in a coma all these years. Their lives were saved but it was not without consequences. I cannot live the rest of my life worried about what you will say to who or when and why, I have a family to protect. For your transgressions against me I am going to punish you by making sure that you never talk again for the rest of your life. Don’t blame me Wusi, blame your big mouth and loose tongue.
