LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 33
“Alex looked up and his phone fell from his hands.
“You?” Alex asked
“Yes. Me” Matteo said with a smirk “what were you expecting? He is still my father, remember?”
“Matteo, how can you do this to me?” Alex said
“Sign the papers and leave quietly before I change my mind”
“Matteo why are you doing this? Remember that your father ki||ed my father”
“He ki||ed your father and so? Your father got what he deserves. Right father? He turned to Robert who smiled.
“Yes son. His father got what he deserves”
“Now sign the papers and get lost. It would be fun seeing you begging on the streets” Matteo said with a sly smile.
“I won’t sign them” Alex refused and Matteo threw a punch at his face and he fell down.
“Don’t stress me, Alex” he said and threw the papers at him but Alex stood still without moving an inch.
“Go and bring his son” Robert instructed one of the boys and he left to bring Gemini.
He came back later with a sleeping Gemini and placed him on the couch.
Matteo brought out two injections.
“One is a poisonous substance and one is the antidote. I will inject him with the poison and within 10 minutes he dies if I don’t give him the antidote” Matteo smiled devilishly and injected Gemini
Alex was already shaking with anger as he picked up the pen and signed the papers.
“Now give him the antidote. I have already signed” Alex said standing up with his hands in his pockets.
Matteo opened the antidote and poured it on the floor. Alex eyes nearly popped out from its socket.
“You can go and bury your son. My job here is done” Matteo said and picked up the papers.
He gave the papers to Robert and walked out of the place.
Robert smiled and patted Alex on his back.
“Accept my condolences” he said and walked out.
Alex looked at his son’s lifeless body and a single tear dropped from his eyes. Right now he looked powerless. He couldn’t even do a thing to save his son’s life.
He carried him and left the place. He opened the back seat of his car and dropped him then enter the driver’s side and left the premises.

“A new student? At this time of the year? Who does that? Jayden complained when a teacher told them that they would be having a new student with them.
“What happened to her old school? Was she expelled? A student asked
“She just came from Bangkok with transfer” the teacher explained and the students sighed.
“So where is she? Are we going to continue waiting for her?” another student complained.
“She will soon be here. Oh! Here she comes” the teacher said and a girl walked into the classroom.
The boys started drooling over her immediately and the girls got jealous.
She is a definition of beauty. She scanned the classroom with her eyes before introducing herself.
“Hi. I’m Alisha” she said and started walking to an empty seat.
She walked close to Jayden and bent to his level.
“Stay out of my sight in this school. You are annoying” she said and continued the short journey to her seat.
Jayden kept staring at her wondering what happened to make her change her name. And the worst part of it all was forgetting him.
He felt hurt seeing her ignoring him. Things are getting out of hand. How is he going to approach her for the matter at hand??
🥀💜🥀
Fiona kept biting her finger nails anxiously. She felt hurt that Emily has not been so friendly with her. She wasn’t harsh either. She was just staying out of her way.
She picked up her phone to call Alex but didn’t get a response.
She stood up and left her room heading outside. She bumped into Elizabeth on her way and immediately smiled. At least there is someone in this house who is friendly.
“Come with me” Elizabeth said dragging her to her room before she could protest.
“I don’t know what is going on with you and Alex but all I can say is that you should be strong. I don’t know the person that desperately wants to harm you both” Elizabeth said and Fiona smiled.
“Umm… there is something I want to say. I haven’t really told anyone about it but I feel comfortable telling you. On the day Alex came to rescue me when I was abducted, I saw my mom”
“Your mom? Elizabeth asked and Fiona nodded.
“She was with Alex’s uncle”
“That means they are working together”
“But I asked her about my other baby and she said she knows nothing about it”
“And you believe her. Let me ask you Fiona, with all these things happening, do you still think that Florence is your mother? I mean, has she called you ever since you came back?” Elizabeth asked and Fiona shook her head sideways
“See, Fiona, I don’t know if I should tell you this but we are looking for evidences against your mother. We have unsettled business. If there is anything you know don’t hesitate to tell me. We still havent seen Elena and her mom” Elizabeth said touching her hair.
Fiona left there and went straight to her room. She was thinking so hard about things that could link her mother to any criminal activities. She couldn’t find any. Her mother has been the best human she ever met. But recently, she began to think otherwise. In the end she concluded that her mother was blinded by money and she couldn’t do anything that will get her into trouble.
She heard noises downstairs and rushed out to see for herself. She met Emily crying and Alex holding unto her. She was equally surprised to see Cora there. They all held gloomy expression.
Fiona became scared immediately. Even Elizabeth also came down when she heard the noise. The maids too came out. No one was left out.
“Alex tell me you are joking. Gemini can’t be gone like that. And you have even buried him. I didn’t even see my grandson for the last time” Emily cried holding onto Alex.
“What?!! Gemini? No no no…” Fiona screamed and tried running out but Cora held her. She kept crying on her shoulders.
In no time everyone in the house were all weeping for Gemini.
🥀💜🥀
Everyone stood before the grave which had “Gemini Smith boldly inscribed on it.
They dropped their flowers one after the other while Alex stood by the side watching with a sad expression.
“Gemini, the short period of time we spent together was worth it. I will never forget you in a hurry. Please stay out of trouble over there. Keep being a good kid” Hailey said wiping her tears as she dropped her flowers.
“Gem, my love. I’m sorry I couldn’t spend enough time with you. You are such a wonderful kid. I feel ashamed each time I remember that I planned to hurt you. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you how much I love you. Until we meet again, Gem. I will forever miss “ Fiona cried dropping her flowers.
“Words cannot express what I feel in my best right now. Its hard to say goodbye, Gem” Cora said and dropped her flowers.
Others continued to drop their flowers and Fiona shifted a bit far from them. She brought out her phone and placed a call to her mother.
📞 I just hope you have no hand in Gemini’s d£ath because if you do, I won’t ever forgive you”
📞 Are you thr_@tening your mother because of that boy?
📞 A mother that kidnapped her own daughter? What are you not capable of doing? The only thing that will save you from me right now is if you do not have a hand I’m this. Until then, stay away from me”.
Fiona dropped the call and the tears she has been holding started falling in handfuls. She turned to go back to join others and she felt the world spinning round and round her head. She lost her balance and fell but a strong arms held unto her.
“Don’t close those eyes Fiona” Alex said and she smiled sadly slipping unto quietness.
