Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 403

Anitha was actually from an affluent household. She grew up privileged. But her family fell on later years making her having to lead a normal life. She could never reconcile with it. But it had been the straight opposite for Sumitha. Sumitha was from a very normal household. But later because of her career as an actress, she grew leaps and bounds.

After that, Adithya fell in love with her. And Adithya treated her extremely well. Adithya practically coddled her like a kid. He kept her in the palm of his hands and protected her.

Even when they were married to the same household, the difference of treatment they got between herself and Sumitha was astronomical. Not that Ram treated her badly but Adithya had always been pretty excessive when it came to Sumitha. He always treated her as his Queen. He had no limit when it came to pampering her. But the facts of the matter were, Adithya had always been pretty excessive when it came to caring for people around him. And it reached an extreme when it came to his wife and daughter obviously.

And to add to that, Sumitha was the Madam of Srivastav’s household. So, the respect she got whenever she went out was also immense. It was hard not to be envious of her.

But none of it justifies what happened later.

“I have text messages you sent her!!” Anand said flatly.

Anitha was even more scared when she heard it. So, she changed her statement instantly in panic. Her guilty conscience never allowed her to even think if Anand really had such evidence. So, she just babbled on, “I… I made plans… yes… I had plans with her that day but she never showed up… yes… she never showed up. So, I just left… yes. That is what happened!! I did not do anything to harm her…” She was bȧrėly coherent when she said that.

But Anand once again reversed her lies with a straight face. He looked at her sternly as he said, “You never left your villa that day… you never even bothered to step out of the house. And I also have records of you accepting the money from that so-called ‘reporter’”

After all, in all the years Sumitha had been an actress, she had a pretty much perfect image. None of them had ever been able to get any scoop on her. After she married Adithya, public interest in her simply grew without reducing. Just Sumitha still had a clean image in the public’s eyes.

Reporters flooded her whenever she left her house. People followed her every move incessantly. So, at one point, Sumitha stopped going out altogether unless it was with Adithya and Shreya. So, reporters asking for an interview through backdoor was not such an uncalled-for event. It was just, Anitha was the first one to actually accept it.

“I… I just… they just said they wanted an interview and some scoop. So, asked me to lure her without her agent… so, I just… I just… I did not know she was going to be kidnapped!! I swear!!” Anitha answered anxiously. She can see that she was cornered. So, she knew it was better to confess and accept rather than denying it.

When she first learned that Sumitha was kidnapped from their place of meeting, she almost fainted in fright. She had always been waiting for Shreya to interrogate her knocking on their doors every minute. This fear and guilty conscience simply drove her crazy to point of coming to hate Shreya to an irrational extent. More than she ever hated Sumitha… And she had made it a point to spread that hate to her husband and children too.

But more than hating them, she also wanted them to stay away from Shreya. She wanted Ram to stay away from her… she did not want him to have the slightest attachment to Shreya. After all, she was afraid Shreya would tell on her about this incident. And the only way to prevent that from happening was of course to separate them. Create so much friction between the two that Ram would never believe anything Shreya ever said. But that never happened… Shreya never came for her.

With time, she had completely forgotten about this incident. When no one asked about it, she almost felt as if it never happened until Anand brought it up now…

When it was Anand who brought it up, she knew she was screwed. She could never deny it… After all, Ram still trusted Anand more than Anitha. They still have that much attachment at least in spite of their differences. She wouldn’t be able to deny it for long if it was Anand who confronted her.

Anand simply shook his head with a sigh and said, “We know… that is the only reason why you were left alone… or else you think you could have been peaceful all this time… your only saving grace is you did not know… But even that was thanks to Shreya… she did not want to separate your family. So, she begged us not to tell about it… or else you would have been done for a long time ago!”

Anand turned his head away from Anitha and faced Ram this time as he said, “But you Ram… you and your son knew exactly what you were doing!! Really shame on you guys… If you really have a little bit of humanity left in you, go back to jail and don’t fight it… rot there and make up for what you did… Because it is useless to fight it… the minute you come out, I will send you back in… I have evidence the last forever… that is the only way for you to survive here on!! This is the only way you can repent to Adithya!!”

By this time, Ram went into a complete daze. He did not know what to think or how to make sense of everything. Everything he thought was the truth turned out to be his own illusion. He did not know how to process that…

All the resentment and hate he heads towards Shreya turned into guilt in a matter of minutes. He did not know how to face her anymore. Even when he was angry and hated her, he had the guts to face her… because he thought he was right. But knowing he was at the wrong all this time crushed him in ways he did not know how to get up from. He bȧrėly even heard what Anand was saying anymore.

Every last memory he had of Adithya kept playing in his head haunting him. He kept seeing Adithya’s disappointed angry face in his head asking him by his collars ‘Why he did it?’ Sadly, he did not have any answers. All his emotions seemed to have left him like a pinched balloon. He felt suffocatingly empty.

He did not even know how he left Sri corp. and got into his car. His mind was not working properly anymore.

Even when he reached his house, he just went into his study and shut himself up… He did not have the face to see anyone at all at this moment. He could not hear anything anybody said.

Anitha kept babbling about something, but he couldn’t be bothered about it.
