Who She Really Is Chapter 32 Analise's POV " I don't need congratulations , Tiffany . If memory serves , you're still chasing my brother around trying to get his attention . Maybe you should take your own advice and stop stalking him . I happen to know he can't stand you . Lucky for him , there's no way you could force him to marry you . I know that makes both Seth and me very happy . You can stop pretending to be a good person , Tiffany . No one else is here . I know a fake b *** h when I see one , " I replied coldly , stepping forward to leave . They stood just inside the doorway , holding the door open , but refusing to move . " How disgusting , Ana , going from man to man like that . Everyone should know what a shameful w *** e you are after this . How will you ever show your face again ? You're about to be totally humiliated by the Cooks , " Gretchen said . Her voice was much lower than Tiffany's . She knew better than to let anyone besides Tiffany know her true colors . " I can show my face just fine , as we all know who the actual w **** s are in here . By the way , how's that been working out for you ? You two make an art form out of sleeping around , yet call me the w *** e . Well , thankfully , I don't care what you two think of me . Your opinions don't matter . You two are just desperate bullies who want what they can't have . I've distanced myself for a decade , yet neither of you managed to catch the men you wanted so badly . Unlike you two , I don't need a man in my life to make me feel important . I also don't have to depend on my parents to support me . I can do that all by myself . But I really don't blame you for bleeding your parents dry . The only talent you two have is on your backs . Now , move out of my way , and let me out , " I replied . " Oh , no , you're not leaving . When will we get another chance like this ? You cost us jobs at Fashion Forward , Ana . I don't know why Gwen even listened to you , but I've been wanting to talk to you about it for quite a while now . You can't go around ruining other people's lives just because you feel like it ," Gretchen said with a smile that didn't meet her eyes . Great , just what I wanted to deal with tonight . I didn't need this , not until after I have the Cook family sorted . " I've seen your resume , Gretchen . An influencer is hardly what I would call you . You barely had five thousand followers at the time . The followers you do have are all men liking your scantily clad body ; it's really just a thirst trap . You do know that acting important and being important are two totally different things . I didn't want either of you trying to represent anything for Fashion Forward . We didn't need to be embroiled in whatever scandal you two ended up in . I won't tell you again . You two need to let me out of here . I can assure you that this is going to end badly , " I replied . Tiffany shoved me into the wall behind me . I grunted in pain , as it hurt , and I also wanted the assault noted . I thought she was smart enough to keep her hands off of me . I guess I was wrong . Despite my words , she still thinks that I'm the same pitiful girl I used to be . She's made a huge mistake tonight . She's going to realize that very soon . I'm positive she wants to threaten me , and I hope she does . I need her to say what she wants to say so very badly . She's jealous of me ; she can't stand it . It's been like this since we were children . It's never been my fault , but Tiffany has always blamed me . 16 MNN O < Who She Really is +8 Points > " You've always thought you were so much better than us , but you're not , Ana . You will never be anything more than a scared , pitiful b *** h . You're not worthy enough to marry my brother . You weren't then , and you aren't now . I see you've finally grown a backbone , but you're still the same pathetic girl deep down inside . Don't even think of marrying Holden . He's going to marry Gretchen . Don't forget what he said about you back then . I know you remember it clearly . He doesn't like you . He's just trying to keep the peace between our families . He could never be interested in someone like you ," Tiffany said . She slammed me against the wall again , before leaning forward to where our heads were almost touching . She lifted my chin with her fingers , gripping tightly . She forced me to look at her . I could tell I was going to have bruises on my face from how tightly she was holding me in place . Gretchen was nervous and said , " Tiff , you know there are cameras here at Holden's restaurant . Don't hurt her . Even if she talks , who's going to believe her ? She has no proof of what happened at all . We never left marks on her that anyone could see . It will still be her word against ours , and I'm sure your family will believe us . You're their daughter , why wouldn't they ? " " I don't care what my mother wants , Ana . I will never allow you to marry Holden . Just marry that pitiful Roger guy , and move on . Our mothers will remain friends , and you'll keep my name off your lips . You've played the victim for long enough ; what's a couple more years ? You've got my mother involved now . She was so worried about what happened to you that she's never let it go . She brought it up just this morning . Just keep your mouth shut , Ana . You know the truth would break our families apart , so you had better be smart about what you do next . If you think what happened before was bad , just wait and see what we do to you next , " Tiffany said , before slamming my head back into the wall as hard as she could . " Tiffany , what are you thinking . She's hurt . How are you going to explain this ? She came in fine , and we were the only ones who came in here after her . It's all on camera . What are we going to do ? " Gretchen asked . " I'm going to go into Holden's office and delete it all now . He won't know it was us . Plus , she said she was leaving . She won't talk , or I'll have one of my friends help us out , just like I did in high school . Ana's smart , she knows better than to mess with me , don't you , Ana ? Keep your damn mouth shut , or I'll hurt you again . If Seth finds out about this , and it keeps him from marrying me . I swear I'll kill you , b *** h ," Tiffany said before pressing her heel into the back of my hand on the floor . I saw stars , but I was too dizzy to get off the floor . They both left the bathroom laughing . I can only blame myself , as Charlie was right . I should have known that coming back wouldn't go smoothly . It's been ten years , and those two are still as vicious as ever . If Seth or Holden intended to marry either of them , they would have by now . That's not on me . They just wanted someone else to blame , as they couldn't accept that they weren't wanted by the men they desired . They need to accept it as fact and move on . They didn't have a chance with either one of them . I closed my eyes , but that didn't help ; I was even more dizzy . I put my hand on the back of my head and stilled as I felt something wet . I looked and saw a great deal of blood on my hand . Great , well , at least their consistent . Only leaving marks where no one can see them . I tried to stand again , but I couldn't . Dizziness was overtaking me . I pulled my phone out and stopped the recording . I had added a recording button to my wallpaper background when I knew Roger had returned to the country . The recording feature can be started with just a touch . It kept the other party clueless that they were being recorded , which helped me a great deal in this 16 MNN 2/4 III O < < Who She Really Is +8 Points case . I called the top number to have them come and get me . I heard footsteps in the hallway , and finally someone pushed the door open . They immediately took action , checking my eyes and looking for injuries . When they found the open wound on the back of my head , I couldn't hold in the quick inhale of breath ; it hurt . " Please take me to the hospital , but don't let anyone see me , " I told them before I passed out . I woke up with a headache . I knew I was in the hospital before I opened my eyes , as I could smell the disinfectant . I heard the rustle of motion before the blinds were closed , which helped a lot . When I opened my eyes again , I saw Emily and Gwen in my room with me . " Water , " I asked . My throat was really dry . Gwen held the cup for me while I drank from the straw . " Thanks , what time is it ? " I asked . " Three p.m. , Charlie called me last night and told us what happened . He stayed with you for the first five hours , and then Drew took the next five . We arrived at eight so they could get some rest . Charlie said , and I quote , Do not let anyone know where Ana is , until we return . I know something is up , as your parents , Seth , and Holden have been blowing my phone up for hours . So what happened ? " Gwen asked . " Tiffany slammed my head into a wall a couple of times before stepping on my hand . She thinks it's over with . But I'm not going to let it go this time . Emily , can you go to my office and get my laptop ? I need to recover the footage she deleted . Once I get it , I'm going to call the police . After that , Charlie and Drew should be here , and we can let my family know that I'm in the hospital . " " You're going to call the police ? " Emily asked . I could tell that she was not expecting me to do that . " I am . Is my phone here ? " I asked them . I need to make sure that I save my recording . It will help my case even more . " It's right here , " Gwen said , handing it over . I pressed play and listened to make sure that it was still intact . Thankfully , it was all there . That , plus the video from the restaurant , should be enough evidence to have her arrested . Gwen and Emily were shocked . Tiffany has always prided herself on being so ladylike . They just haven't even seen the real Tiffany . The one who isn't a lady . The one who has others do her dirty work for her . " Do you need anything else ? PJ's ? Or a nightgown ? Never mind , I'll figure it out . I will be back in less than thirty minutes , " Emily told me . " We will stand behind you . I'm so sorry it happened . I can't believe that Tiffany was willing to do this to you . What in the hell was she thinking ? Has she lost her mind ? " Gwen asked . " I had finally agreed to talk to my family about what happened . Tiffany was scared and couldn't allow that to happen . She just doesn't realize that her actions last night proved her guilt . I have proof of everything . Once I'm able to get the video back , people will know who she really is , " I answered .
