what would miss archer consider as an ultimate act of loyalty?
The death of Elise Strossmyer-Hudson
Don’t allow the baptism with different surnames fool you, the ashes of the last name Archer still remains and breathes in the living proof of Elise’s shallow life plan.
As the mound on the grave of Patrick Archer was done, it came as a permanent cancellation of a black American express to the gold digging woman. Stripped of her riches provided by the influential man, so did her last fake caring for the offspring she tolerated to that point, Clare. A burden, a mistake, useless thing that will take space and drain money...and Elise made sure the 5 year-old is unable to grow around that fact.
Among all sinister horrors the blonde bitter woman inflicted on Clare, the fact she forced her to embrace and place in her very core the belief she will never be worthy of affection was the most destructive poison and her grand prize.
Even when physical abuse stopped when Clare became of age and raised her fists in order to protect herself, even when the redhead finally managed to flee that nightmare house, the hateful glare reassured Elise the seed she planted inside this young woman’s heart will keep growing, corrupting her mind and soul, forcing her to stick to the belief that no one will accept her for who she is, no one will bother, no one will give nothing but lies in order to use her.
Hidden in the back of her conscious, Clare formed a hope for the day she will look back into the ice cold blue eyes of that imbecile woman, accompanied with someone will oppose to everything Elise said, and is Clare’s honest better half or friend. Someone who will truly love her the way she is, with no alterations on her personality.
Clare is capable to end the life of this snake by her own hand, but that would not silence her demons. She dreams that the one who embraced her does it, shows Elise she was wrong, so wrong actually, it will now cost her her miserable vain life.
