Chapter 15
Sigyn opened her eyes to see she was being dragged towards balcony. She asked for water but the attempt continues. Soon she realised that she is being carried up to the railing only when someone pushed her off, she was fully conscious and understood that someone tried to kill her.
She held the railing tightly. She tried to pull herself up when someone punched her. She was shocked to see the face of the person. It was her sister.
Tears starting brimming in her eyes. Why?
"sister, let me up. What are you doing?"
Verna loaded her pistol and aimed at Sigyn. "Doing whatever is necessary?"
"Why? Killing me is necessary?"
"Oh yes, until you live I could never become queen. Queen of this fashion world and the owner of this company"
"You want all this, you would have just asked me, sister"
"Sister? You never called me that before. This word seems so fake dripping from your mouth. You always orders like queen. Now you are this innocent and vulnerable. Guess fear of death has broken your ego, huh? Why would I ask you to give me all this when I could win it all. I don't want to beg I want to conquer"
"Verna" Freya's voice cut through the conversation. Verna turned. "Please don't do this baby. She is your sister"
Sigyn struggled herself up when Verna elbowed her jaw. She still held tightly to the railing but her consciousness was leaving her. Verna turned to Freya. "You know she is not my sister. She is not anybody's sister. Nor Syn, Nana, Astrid, Sigrid and Gheeza. We're all bastards but she is pure blood"
Sigyn pulled up from some distance away from Verna and punched her. Whay she does all those exercises if she can't defend herself?
Verna short a gun which Sigyn managed to miss. Fighting would have become so easy if Verna hadn't had a gun. Sigyn was struggling for her to drop it and at that same time feared that she might fire her or her mother.
Another bullet escaped and dug in ceiling soon lights were off. But they could still see in little sunlight. Finally, Verna caught Sigyn in her arm's grip and placed the gun on her head. Freya tried to stop her.
Sigyn asked to distract her "what have I ever done to you?"
"You... you are the only Iwaldi outshining there while we rot like your slaves. Asking for money from you. You are the one grandpa always favours. He wrote his will on your name. What do we got? Today by killing you I will take revenger for all my sisters"
Freya interrupted them. "Child, please don't do it. She sacrificed years of her life to stand this company. To give you all whatever you need. Look around you, tell me anything you don't have. It's all because of her"
Verna seemed a little disturbed but she held gun in her shaky hand. "No... no I have to kill her and everything will be mine. You know what's the thing I'll be really happy to finally get? It's your secretary. He will become my husband. How dare he reject my proposal and choose you over me? I will teach him good lesson and tell him how men should be used and where they belong"
Sigyn groaned. "Verna"
"Stop" another voice came across. "Leave her now" Sigyn turned to see Savannah holding a gun with few body guards.
"Don't come closer. Or I'll fire her" Verna warned.
Savannah pointed gun towards Freya. "Then I'll kill her"
"No... no she is my mother. You want to kill me yourself Savannah? Why are you here?" Sigyn spoke.
Verna huffed. "Huh, kill her she is of no use" referring to her mother.
Then Angela entered the room and killed all body guards then pointed towards Savannah. "Drop it or I'll fire"
Freya picked one of bodyguards big gun and pointed towards Verna. "Leave her, Verna"
Sigyn was confused now. Whose her side and whose not.
Slowly Savannah pointed her gun towards Angela. So Angela is against Savannah. At least that is clear.
Soon Sigyn stepped hard on Verna's feet and took her hand up with a blow. Another bullet dug in the ceiling. Sigyn was still feeling giddy but she tried to fight Verna while Savannah fought Angela and Freya quickly called police.
Listening to gunfires Sigyn's bodyguards came up and warn her to stop. The two bodyguards were pointing at Angela and Verna. But Verna shot Sigyn anyway. The bullet hit Sigyn in the tummy near navel. Freya screamed and Savannah was shocked. She fell and her bodyguard shot Verna in the leg and kicked her gun away when she fell.
Yet Verna crawled towards writhing Sigyn and caught her throat. "You are the one who got everything, every luxury, name..." Sigyn's bodyguard pulled Verna away and caught her from shoulders. She continues to speak. "You are the reason Larry decline to be my love. I was so mad for him. Wanted to give him everything but he chose you over me. I was living in hell under your rule already but when the man I love rejected me, that's when I started hating you even more"
Soon police officers reached her room and ambulance too. Sigyn fell unconscious till then. Verna keeps on saying like a mad women. "You ruined my life. I hate you, your name, popularity Sigyn. You are demoness. Didn't die in car accident, didn't drown, didn't die by fucking drugs"
She freed herself and punched Sigyn's body on stretcher until someone caught her again. Verna was crying and her hair disheveled. Then she was dragged by police.

"She is fine. The bullet passed by the skin. It didn't damaged any organs but we have to stitch the wound. The baby is fine and she was feeling giddy because of pregnancy. Nothing to worry. Come after seven days for removal of stitches" Sigyn heard doctors low voice ringing in her ears but she was in dreams.
