The Twisted Obsession-Chapter 274: A day of triumph

Abby stared at herself in the mirror, her eyes scanning every inch of her reflection with meticulous precision. The vanity lights cast a soft, flattering glow, but it was her red lipstick that stole the spotlight. She twisted the tube slowly, watching as the vibrant color emerged, a stark contrast to her pale complexion. With steady hands, she began to apply it, her lips parting slightly as she traced the perfect crimson line around their edges. Her lips pulled up into a sinister smile, a look that transformed her entire face.

"Perfect," she whispered, her voice a low purr. This was no ordinary day. Today was her uncle’s funeral—a day of reckoning, a day of vindication. She had finally avenged her parents’ deaths with the help of her beloved husband, Remo.

The memories of her childhood rushed back, a flood of pain and terror. Her uncle and the rest of her family had tormented her, taking pleasure in her suffering. They had killed her parents, leaving her to grow up in a world of fear and neglect. But no longer. Today marked the end of that Chapter, the final act of her revenge.

As she continued to stare at her reflection, Abby felt a shift within herself, a splitting of her identity that she had come to know well. On one side of the mirror stood the Abby who had been a docile, bullied, shy wallflower—her eyes downcast, her shoulders hunched in defeat. This Abby was a ghost of her former self, a shadow of the girl who had once been powerless and afraid.

But on the other side of the mirror was a different Abby—a woman who had embraced her darkness, who had harnessed the pain and turned it into a weapon. This Abby was domineering and sinister, her eyes gleaming with a cold, calculated malice. Her smile was sharp, almost predatory, as she admired the final touches of her makeup.

"Why are you doing this?" the timid Abby whispered, her eyes wide with confusion and fear. "This isn’t who we are. We don’t hurt people."

The sinister Abby sneered, her expression hardening. "You’re weak. You always have been. That’s why they hurt us, why they killed our parents. They thought we were nothing, just a scared little girl who would never fight back."

The timid Abby’s eyes filled with tears. "But revenge won’t bring them back. It won’t change what happened."

"No," the sinister Abby agreed, her voice cold and unyielding. "But it makes sure they pay. It makes sure they know that we’re not weak anymore."

The two faces stared at each other, locked in a silent battle of wills. The timid Abby trembled, her fear palpable, while the sinister Abby stood firm, her resolve unwavering. It was a battle that had been waging inside her for years, ever since the night she had lost everything.

In the end, it was the sinister Abby who won. The timid face faded away, leaving only the hardened, determined woman in the mirror. She took a deep breath, her hands steady once more as she finished applying her makeup. Today was not a day for weakness. Today was a day for triumph

A soft knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Remo entered, his presence instantly changing her demeanor. The sinister Abby receded, replaced by the docile, devoted wife. She turned to him, her expression softening into one of gentle affection.

"Are you ready, love?" Remo asked, his eyes searching hers for any sign of hesitation.

Abby nodded, her smile now demure and sweet. "Yes, I’m ready."

He took her hand, and together they left the room, stepping into the somber atmosphere of the funeral. The church was filled with mourners, their faces a blur of sorrow and confusion. Abby moved through the crowd with grace, her hand clasped firmly in Remo’s.

As they approached the front of the church, she saw her cousin Lily standing with Cage. Lily’s eyes met hers, a flicker of recognition and something else—guilt, perhaps? Abby felt a surge of anger but quickly masked it with a polite nod. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

"Abby," Lily said softly, stepping closer. "I... I didn’t expect to see you here. I’m so sorry about everything. I wish things had been different."

Abby’s smile was thin, her eyes cold. "Wishes don’t change the past, Lily. What’s done is done."

Cage shifted uncomfortably, sensing the tension. "It’s a difficult day for everyone," he said, trying to diffuse the situation.

Ignoring Lily’s attempts at conversation, Abby turned away, her attention focused on the casket at the front of the church. She felt Remo’s reassuring presence beside her, his hand a steady anchor. Together, they approached the casket, and Abby looked down at her uncle’s lifeless face.

"Rest in peace," she murmured, her words a hollow mockery of the sentiment. Her mind drifted back to the plan she and Remo had meticulously crafted, the details of their revenge playing out like a dark symphony in her thoughts.

Remo squeezed her hand gently, and she looked up at him, her expression once again that of a devoted, docile wife. His support had been unwavering, his love a fierce shield against the darkness that threatened to consume her. She leaned into him, drawing strength from his presence.

The funeral proceeded, a somber ritual of words and tears. Abby stood silently, her mind a battleground of conflicting emotions. The sinister Abby reveled in the victory, while the docile Abby mourned the loss of her innocence. The two sides of her personality waged a silent war, each vying for dominance.

After the service, mourners gathered outside, exchanging condolences and reminiscing about the deceased. Abby spotted Lily again, this time alone. She approached, her expression carefully neutral.

"Lily," she said softly, drawing the younger woman’s attention. "I know you meant well, but some things can’t be undone. Our past... it haunts us both."

Lily’s eyes filled with tears. "I know, Abby. I just... I wanted to say I’m sorry. For everything."

Abby’s smile was fleeting, a ghost of genuine warmth. "I appreciate that, but it’s too late for apologies. We have to live with the choices we’ve made."

With that, she turned away, leaving Lily standing alone, her words hanging in the air. Abby’s heart was heavy, but she knew she couldn’t afford to dwell on the past. She had Remo, and that was all that mattered now.

As they drove home, Abby felt a sense of closure. The Chapter of her life that had been tainted by her uncle and family’s cruelty was finally over. She glanced at Remo, her eyes filled with a mixture of love and possessiveness. He had been her rock, her savior, and she was determined to keep him close, no matter what.
