Devil in disguise

Slowly, my eyes flickered open, adjusting to the dim lighting. I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling, my mind still foggy and disoriented. Confusion washed over me as I tried to figure out where I was.
"Hospital?" I murmured softly
The soft beeping of the monitors in the hospital room were abruptly interrupted by the sound of voices raising in a heated argument. 
"This is all your fault!" Annie exclaimed, her voice trembling

. "If you hadnt been so careless, gerald wouldn't be lying here in the hospital!"

"The car that hit Gerald didn't do so accidentally," she said

 "It was intentional." Her words hung in the air, causing Annie's rage to momentarily falter

"What do you mean?"

"The car that hit us, it was on purpose."She stated firmly Annie, her eyes wide with shock,

"Who would do something like that?!"annie exclaimed

 "It was Primrose," Camella declared, her tone calm yet resolute.

"She intended to hit me, but at the last moment, she swerved and targeted Gerald instead."I sat up in bed, Glen who sat in a chair nearby, shifted his gaze toward me and questioned, "What do you know about Primrose?"

"I...I can't believe Primrose did it," I murmured.

Confusion and disbelief washed over me as I tried to make sense of the situationAre you okay Gerald?are you hurt?she askedI shook my head asked gently

,"Annie, could you get me a smoothie, please?"I said with a smile

Annie nodded, her expression softening."sure "

"Can I come along""No"

"I'll go with you," camela insisted.Annie sighed, "Alright, I guess you can come with me," The room was eerily silent, the only sound being the steady beat of the heart monitor.

 With glen and I only left in the room

"Care to explain ?" his voice filled with curiosity and a hint of unease.I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts as best as I could.

"Primrose," my voice tinged with a mixture of hesitation"I work for her"I began, my voice steady but laced with a hint of unease.

 " It all started when mistook Primrose for Annie due to her red hair and saved her from the burning building so I went back to look for annie but instead was trapped inside and was saved by I assume is nora 2"

"I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts as I tried to recount the chain of events that led to this point"And after the incident, I talked to Annie about how Camella had saved me afterward" I continued.

 "Unfortunately, what I didn't know at the time was that Primrose had been eavesdropping on our conversation"

Glen nodded, beginning to grasp the sequence of events."So you mistook Primrose for Annie, and saved her," he acknowledged. 

"And later, you discussed with Annie how Camella saved you, unaware that Primrose was listening. This sparked her interest in you correct?"I nodded

"She asked about Camelas rehearsal and offered to pay for any information and requested she me to personally applied to be Camelas bodyguard in order to gather more information in exchange for money "I confessed

"Are you going to fire me now?"Glen shook her head"you're already involved gerald"Glen said in a serious tone

I don't trust you at all especially now that I'm hearing this but sull you keep it as secret "And I'm holding into your words "

""but still ..it won't change the fact that I'm working for primrose"Glen furrowed his eyebrow

"If you're working for her Why do you think Primrose would try to harm you?" he questions, his voice filled with concern.I hesitated for a moment, my mind racing to find a logical explanation. 

Then, it suddenly clicked.One thought in particular stood out to me.I think it might have something to do with the self-driving car. Primrose admitted she hacked the car system. Could that be connected to her targeting me somehow?"

Glen's expression darkened

 "nora 2 mentioned earlier that she was supposed to be the target before the car hits you "

"Aren't primrose Camelas cousin?"Why would she do something like tthat

"Primrose's hatred for Camella is rooted in something deeper," he explained, " her father died saving Camella from drowning,"

 "It happened right before her eyes. To make matters worse, her grandfather, openly favors Camella despite camela being worst of the kind"

, A sense of suspicion crossed my mind "Do you think Primrose might have poisoned Camella?"Glen let out a weary sigh,"It's a possibility we can't ignore," he admitted.

 "However, we have no concrete evidence to support such an accusation at this time."

A flashback to the theater experience flooded my mind, bringing back a memory I hadn't fully processed until now.
When I was walking towards the stage, I walked past a girl in a hoodie with red streaks in her hair. , her words echoed in my thoughts.

 My mind raced, trying to make sense of it all. 

She uttered something strange

Just you wait, Camella.'

"Primrose!"Something inside me urged me to remain quiet

Then Someone barged into the door

Camela and Annie returned just in time, carrying a basket full of fruits 

Annie who approached my bedside, handed me a strawberry smoothie, my favorite.I couldn't help but feel grateful for her thoughtfulness

. "Thanks, Annie," I said, accepting the smoothie "You always seem to know exactly what I want."

"Ofcourse"Camela's phone buzzed, and she retrieved it from her pocket. A message notification lit up the screen. "There's a message," she announced, skimming over the content.

"It's from chris" she stated, reading aloud. "He said he needs to see me"

Annie's eyes widened with curiosity "Wait, what does it say?" She looked over at Camela, 

"Like chris Chris Vance your ex boyfriend?"Camela nodded, confirming Annie's assumption. 

"Yes, it appears so," she said

."Don't bother to reply camela "glen saidGlen turned to me, his voice filled with concern. "

You should get some rest," he suggested. "You're being discharged tomorrow"

"He then faced camela, who had been silently standing nearby. "We should leave now,camela"

The silence filled the room as Annie and I were left alone

 "You know," Annie began,"I read somewhere that chris is one of Camella's boyfriends."

"he's known to be a real jerk who takes advantage of Camella's money and cheats on her with other girls. He's also rumored to be physically abusive."

"Really?"Annie nodded, her expression serious. 

"It's not just limited to physical harm,it's even worse than that," she clarified

. " He is reportedly involved in criminal organization and participates in illegal activities such illegal gambling."

"Such a waste for a beautiful face"

"You know," she mused, a sly smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

 "If I could manage to get my hands on Chris"I could make a fortune from it.But then she shook her head, disappointment clouding her expression

."Unfortunately, it's unlikely to happen," Annie continued. "Chris is often be spotted at the East District. He owns a club and a bar there, which would make it extremely difficult to get to him.

"But what if......
