LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 16
Lucas descended the stairs with a glass of wine and his phone in the other hand. The soft look on his face changed into a sour one when he saw the person who makes him mad every single minute, standing in the living room with his hands in his pocket and his back on him. Even without being told he already knows who he is. The only person that gives him headache in this life. If he sees any opportunity to eliminate him, he will tale it without looking back.
“And what is this pest doing in my house? Lucas asked as he dropped the glass in his hands making the other person to turn around.
“Oh, brother. Long time no see” Alex said stretching his hand for a handshake but Lucas glared at the hand and he put it back into his pocket with a shrug.
“Wh@??ver game it is you are playing right now, stop it. I know you liked Fiona but playing this game this way is not going to help you. I know you ki||ed Fiona’s child, no, our child and set me up with it. But let me warn you Lucas, I will be back for you and I promise you one thing, you are not getting out alive” Alex said with a cold voice and Lucas started clapping.
“First of all, you have no right to come into my house and spew nonsense. Secondly you said I liked Fiona. You are wrong, I loved and still love her. You stole her away from me and I must have her back just watch and see. And whoever ki||ed the child you are talking about deserves a gift from me because if I have the chance, I will do it myself and I hope Fiona h@??s you and never forgive you. Now get out”
Alex smiled and moved closer to Lucas.
“I won her once and I will win her again. Stay away from us” Alex said and walked out
“aaaarrrgghhh!!! Lucas screamed and threw the glass at the wall. The innocent glass shattered and the maid came running to know what’s wrong.
“Lets see how you are going to do that Alex” Lucas smirked and went upstairs after picking up his phone.
The maid was scared as she saw the anger emanating from Lucas. It could burn down the house right now. She shifted back in fear when Lucas took a step.
The maid ran into the kitchen and came out with a broom and packer to sweep the glass.
The maids in Lucas house are always scared of him but they keep staying here because the pay is good. Say a thing or complain about him and you are gone.
Few minutes later Lucas came downstairs and went out.
🎀ALEX’S HOUSE🎀
Hailey sat on Fiona’s bed staring at her as tho she was an alien. She have been wondering how to convince Fiona to let go of her revenge plan and allow Alex to at least explain what happened.
Fiona on the other hand was looking so lost. She ruffled her hair for the 50th time and turned her face towards Hailey.
“What do you think I should do? Fiona asked
“Give Alex a chance to explain since he keep saying that he is innocent”
“Why should I give him a chance to explain? After everything I went through with the pregnancy. I called him several times and he blocked me from calling. He even had to change his number. I reached out to him on Instagram and he blocked me too. And then I saw him with my dead baby and you are talking about explanation. What exactly is he going to explain? Why he blocked me everywhere? Fiona said
“Still, you should allow him to say something. Part of you wants you to trust him Fiona and you know it. I think there is someone out there who is playing games with the both of you and it might be someone really close” Hailey said looking intently at Fiona who kept blinking her lashes.
“Can I ask you a question Fiona? Hailey asked and Fiona nodded positively.
“What caused your break up in the first place?
“Nothing serious. My mom didn’t like him and always wants me to break up with him. She wanted Lucas for me. I told her that we weren’t. seeing each other anymore. I always had to sneak out to see him and when my mom found out she thr_@tened to disown me if I don’t breakup with him and leave the country with her. That was what happened. I didn’t even tell him I was leaving. It was my fault. I should have stayed and fight for our love” Fiona said wiping the tears that fell from her eyes.
“And who is Lucas?
“Alex’s cousin” Fiona said and Hailey’s mouth formed and ‘O’
Just then Fiona’s phone started ringing and Hailey left the room to give her privacy to speak to her mom who was calling.
📞Fiona how have you been?
📞I’m fine mom. You?
📞I’m okay my baby. How are you doing over there? And how long have you gone with your plan? A plan you don’t want me to know.
📞Mom, the plan is moving well. It will be accomplished soon.
📞 Are you sure? If you need any help let me know. Have you seen Lucas yet?
📞No mom. But why do you even like this Lucas and h@?? Alex so much? They are cousins remember?
📞Its up to me to decide who to like and h@?? and I know Lucas is a better choice than Alex. I gave birth to you not the other way round. Make sure you find a way to meet up with Lucas and be on your beat behavior when you do so. Make him like you. That should add spice to your revenge plan on Alex”
📞Okay mom. I’ve heard you.
The call ended after few minutes of chitchats and Fiona stared into space thinking of how to handle the issue. Bow was she going to tell her mom that she was pregnant with Alex’s child, Again! No doubt, all hell would let loosShe
She got herself into this and she can’t find a way out.
MOMENTS LATER…
Alex drove into his compound and headed inside after parking his car in the garage.
He met Fiona sitting at the dining with a plate containing sliced apples. He ignored her and went upstairs to his room.
He came downstairs after few minutes. He already took his bath and changed his clothes.
He walked to the dining and sat with Fiona staring directly at here face. Fiona shifted uncomfortably on her seat. She was avoiding eye contact with Alex. The closeness between them right now is doing things to her heart.
She stood up and tried walking out of the dining but Alex’s voice stopped her.
“Sit” he said simply but Fiona could sense the coldness in his voice.
When did he become this cold? Only love can hurt like this.
“Did you ever love me? Alex asked and Fiona looked down without saying anything.
“Did you ever care about my feelings? He asked again and Fiona still kept mute.
“I am not talking to a statue. When I ask you a question you are expected to give me a d@mn answer” Alex yelled and Fiona flinched.
This is the first time he is yelling at her and she felt how much she much she have hurt him.
“Fiona, I begged you. I went on my f_cking knees for you. I begged you to stay. But you left me in a cruel manner. You broke me. Did you ever love me at all? All those times you said you loved me, were you lying? Alex asked in a calm but cold voice.
“Yes, I loved you. My mom didn’t want you for me, she wanted someone else. But that is not enough reason to ki|| our child. Alex. Your own child” Fiona said amidst tears.
“You really believe I ki||ed the baby? Have you ever trusted me at all? Alex asked but Fiona gave no response.
“Why did you leave without telling me about the baby?
“I didn’t even know I was pregnant. My mom reached out to you but you said I shouldn’t contact you again. You blocked me everywhere, Alex”
“I blocked you everywhere? How? Alex asked and picked up his phone. He went through his Instagram and found out he truly blocked Fiona but when? He went to other places and his eyes widened. Truly he blocked her everywhere but when and how? That was when he remembered that for the past eight years, he overlooked a lot of things about his life.
“You said your mom wanted someone else for you, right? Alex asked and Fiona nodded positively.
“Who?
“Lucas” Fiona said avoiding Alex’s eyes.
“Lucas” Alex repeated nodding his head.
He stood up and went to his room. Few minutes later he came out all dressed up and left the house again.
🎀🎀🎀🎀
Lucas came straight to his fathers room the moment he entered the compound ignoring the greetings and the flirty smiles sent his way by the maids.
His father was going through a magazine when he came in.
“What brings you here, Lucas? His father, Robert asked
“Alex came to my house” Lucas said and his father stared at him blankly
“He thr_@tened me to leave Fiona alone” Lucas continued when his father said nothing.
“And you came here to do what exactly? Robert asked and Lucas squeezed his face in anger.
He knew his father is about to lecture him on how Alex keeps winning without doing a thing and he is not ready for that. He stood up and left the room in anger.
Robert picked up his phone and dialed a number which was picked up almost immediately.
📞Is Fiona with Alex?
📞No. She swore to be a thorn in his flesh so they can’t be together. Not after what happened with their baby.
📞How come Alex is thr_@tening Lucas.
📞That, I do not know. I think we should speed up things. Waiting for Fiona to fall in love with Lucas is something we both do not know when its going to happen. That girl don’t feel a thing for Lucas. All she sees is Alex.
📞Then we should do it my own way” Robert said and after ending the call, he dialed another number and the person picked up after a few seconds
📞Keep an eye on Fiona and Alex. They are up to something.
📞Okay boss.
