LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 17
It was a bright Monday morning, Fiona stood up from her bed with a lazy yawn. She slipped on her flip flops and headed to Gemini’s room.
The bond between them these past few weeks has been an amazing one.
She stepped into the room and behold the sleeping handsome. Gemini was still sprawled on his bed sleeping like he ain’t gat no worries.
Fiona’s eyes caught the frame hanging on the wall and let out a cute smile. She immediately wished Gemini was her biological child. Right now she can’t bring herself to hurt this sweet Innocent soul. He is just like an angel. So cute and smart. A mini Alex.
She really wants to find out the truth about the problem surrounding her so that she could have her baby and the man she loves in peace.
She can’t think of anyone who would wish her bad to the extent of ki||ing her innocent child and setting up the baby’s father.
But come to think of it, who knows that Alex is her baby’s father? Or was it a coincidence? The more she thought about it, the more confusing it becomes.
She sat down on the bed and tapped the sleeping handsome.
“Gem, wake up. You are going to be late for school” Fiona said gently stroking Gemini’s hair.
Gemini moved on the bed without making any attempt to get up. He wants to sleep more.
“Gem, get up. I’m here to accompany you to school” she said and Gemini sat up immediately.
Its obvious that he wasn’t sleeping earlier.
“Good morning, miss Fiona. How is baby sister doing? Gemini said with a wide smile
“Your baby sister is doing fine. Now get into the bathroom and start getting ready for school” Fiona said and stood up.
“Why cant you just become my mom? I can talk to dad if you want. I like you”
“Its not as easy as it seems”
“Its that easy. I will tell my dad to marry you and he will marry you. Simple. You see? Its easy” Gemini said with an expectant face
“Marriage is adult’s business. Let me say that your dad and I have a history so the marriage issue is complicated right now” Fiona said with a sad smile
“Everything about adults is always complicated. Can’t you adults live a normal life for once? Its becoming annoying” Gemini said with a pout
“Don’t worry, we are going to fix it soon. I promise” Fiona said with an assuring smile.
“Okay. If you say so. And about accompanying me to school, you are serious about it right? Gemini asked blinking his cute lashes
“Yes I am. Go get ready so you won’t be late for school” Fiona said and left the room while Gemini went about his morning business.
Fiona left the room and came face to face with Alex. She greeted him and he ignored her like she doesn’t exist.
He has been ignoring her since the day they had the dining discussion.
All effort Fiona made to initiate a conversation with him proved abortive.
“Alex, how long will you keep ignoring me? I’m trying to make things right” She said and broke into tears
“You came into my house and my life to make me miserable because you want revenge. Now you want me to believe that you are trying to make things right. Joker. The only reason why i’m letting you stay here is because of the baby you are carrying. Once you have the baby, you are out of my house”
“Alex please. Let me help solve the problem. I’m part of it. So let me help”
“Who told you that you are part of the problem? You are the whole problem Fiona. Loving you was my greatest sin. And now I can’t even stand you. You want to help solve the problem by meeting up with Lucas secretly? Alex asked and Fiona’s eyes widened
“How did you know? Fiona asked shaking with nervousness
“Don’t be dumb Fiona. Since your mother wants you to be with Lucas, you should go to him after having my baby. And wh@??ver you are planning with him, make sure you don’t involve my son. If anything happens to Gemini, I will ki|| you, Lucas and your mother” Alex warned coldly
“Alex is that what you think of me? You think I will hurt Gem? And for meeting with Lucas, I just went to meet him because my mom asked me to. I have nothing to do with him” Fiona said with a voice laced with hurt
“And you want me to believe that you have nothing to do with Lucas when you carry so much h@?? in your heart for me. Why are you even explaining this to me? Alex asked and Fiona went mute.
How will she tell him that her heart beats rapidly each time he is close to her?
“I don’t underestimate the fury of and angry woman, Fiona. And you have no right to give Gemini a pet name. Stay away from him” Alex warned and left as soon as he heard Gemini’s door opening
“Miss Fiona, have you been waiting for me? Gemini asked as he came closer.
Fiona turned and looked at him then walked away quietly to her room. She was hurting so bad.
‘What just happened? Was she crying? Gemini asked no one as he headed downstairs and straight to the dining where he met his father already seated.
“Good morning dad” Gemini greeted and took a seat beside his dad. Mira came out and served them breakfast.
“Dad, miss Fiona was crying earlier. You should check up on her. I heard pregnant women have lots of mood swings”
“Table manners, young man” Alex said and Gemini kept shut immediately.
Alex stood up few minutes later and aksed Gemini to hurry up so he could drop him off at school before heading to his office.
“Dad, miss Fiona promised to accompany me to school today”
“She is not going with you and we are not having this conversation anymore. I’m taking you to school and that’s it” Alex said and started walking out while Mira ran after him with his bag.
The guard opened the car door for them and entered as well. The drive to the school began in silence. Each of them in his own world.
“Dad, you look upset. What happened” Gemini asked and Alex looked at him blankly
“Dad?
“Its nothing Gem, I will be fine” Alex said and started operating his phone.
Gemini looked out of the window feeling hurt by his dad’s attitude.
Alex sighed out when he noticed Gemini’s mood.
“Gem, i’m sorry for scolding you. I’m just in a bad mood” Alex pleaded
“And you decided to vent it on me. Keep your apologies. I’m not interested”
“What should I do to make you forgive me” Alex asked and Gemini’s face lightened up.
“Marry miss Fiona” he said and Alex choked on his spit
“What? Alex asked and Gemini kept looking at him with puppy eyes
“Gemini, listen, its complicated right now. When everything go back to normal, I will think about getting a mom for you” Alex said reassuringly and Gemini rolled his eyes
“Being an Adult is so boring. Everything about them is always complicated” Gemini said and face the window again
“Gem, its not like that…”
“Dad if you won’t marry Miss Fiona, we aren’t having this conversation please. I don’t want to argue with you”
Alex sighed out and took his attention back to his phone which chose that moment to ring.
He looked at the screen and saw his sister’s name but he ignored the call.
“When you drop Gemini off, take me back home. I forgot a file” He instructed the driver.
BACK AT ALEX’S HOUSE
Fiona kept crying as soon as she got to her room. She have refused to come out or even eat breakfast.
Who the hell is this person making her life miserable? Was she born without a destiny or with the evil one?
Her mind immediately went to Evelyn but she waved it off. Evelyn could be anything but not a murderer. Its true she loves Alex but she can’t set him up with murder. So its definitely not her.
Who then is this enemy that wants her to be miserable all her life?
She lost her baby and now she lost the only man she have ever loved. Why is life so cruel to her?
Hailey arrived at her door few minutes later after she was told that Fiona rejected her breakfast. She knocked on the door and Fiona didn’t answer until she spoke up.
“Fiona what happened to you? You were good until last night. What changed? Hailey asked
“He asked me to stay away from Gemini. I will just die” Fiona sobbed
“Why? He didn’t just wake up and ask you to stay away from Gemini” Hailey asked
“He saw me with Lucas”
“Who is Lucas?
“His cousin”
“The one your mom wants for you? Hailey asked and Fiona nodded positively.
“Are you crazy? Why will you meet up with him? You don’t know who your enemy is and you are meeting with that bastard. Are you okay? I don’t blame Alex. You caused this” Hailey scolded and Fiona started a new round of tears
“What should I do? I don’t want him to h@?? me” Fiona kept crying
“I don’t know if this pregnancy is your problem or stupidity. When he comes back try talking to him, okay” Hailey said and hugged Fiona who stopped crying
“That reminds me, Hailey, I hope you haven’t tried any of the plans with Gemini” Fiona asked looking at Hailey
“Why are you asking? You no longer want to carry out the revenge? Hailey asked and Fiona nodded
“I can’t do it anymore. Gemini is innocent. He is such a sweet soul. I will…” Fiona was still talking when the door opened and Alex walked in looking so angry.
“So you came in here to ki|| my son and I? Alex asked Hailey who was already shaking
“Boss, I can explain” Hailey went down on her knees holding Alex legs.
“That hand, take it off” Alex said coldly and Hailey removed her hands from his legs immediately.
Fiona went down on her knees too and started begging Alex to let Fiona go and punish her instead since she was the one that asked Hailey to help her with her plans.
“Is that how wicked you became Fiona. Planning to ki|| an innocent child. All because of what? And you” he turned to Hailey
“Leave my house. I don’t want to ever see you again. In fact you both are leaving my house. I will come for the baby when you put to bed” Alex said walked out of the room without looking back and Fiona ran after him. Hailey stood up and let out a smile.
🎀ROBERT’S HOUSE🎀
Robert was sitting comfortably in his room when a call came into his phone. He picked up on the second ring.
📞What is it? Didn’t I tell you to wait for my call instead?
📞I’m sorry boss but you might want to know this.
📞What is it?
📞 Fiona is no longer moving on with the plan. She said she is not longer interested in the revenge. From the look of things, she still loves Alex and she wants him to take her back. Since she is pregnant with his child.
📞 Pregnant?
📞 Y..yes boss.
📞And you didn’t care to tell me that all this while?
📞 I’m sorry boss. I didn’t think it was necessary.
📞Come see me this week.
Robert hung up before the other person could say more.
“Alex, I won’t allow you to be a pain in the neck like your father. I will take over everything. Just the way your father stole everything from me. He paid with his life and you are going to pay again” Robert thought with a cute smile.
Despite his age, he was still a handsome man with a pretty smile that can get him any girl he wants even the ones that are old enough to be his daughters. During theirs school days, his handsome face secured him a position in popularity but he was still no match for his brother Edward, Alexander’s father.
Edward stole the spotlight every time and everywhere. He stole the girl he loved and that was the beginning of his hatred towards him.
He was more popular And loved, acknowledged both in school and at home.
The girls worship him and their parents adored him. Despite being the younger one, he got the position of CEO at a young age in their parents company and they eventually left everything in his hands. They just felt like he would be a better manager than Robert who was a play boy. That escalated the hatred he had for him.
His hatred towards Alexander is because Edward willed everything to him and he won’t let that slide.
He is just starting with his Revenge.
