LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 37&38
Fiona woke up in the morning to the delicious aroma of breakfast.
She saw Alex sitting beside her smiling and creased her brows.
“What is the occasion?” Fiona asked
“Is there supposed to be an occasion?” Alex asked and Fiona took in her lower lips.
“Stop doing that” Alex said and Fiona looked at him.
“Stop doing what” Fiona asked innocently and Alex ignored her questions.
He pushed the tray towards her.
”I think we should put the past behind us. Don’t you remember anything from last night? We should do that often so let’s start staying together in peace. Again” Alex said.
“I’m sorry for the times I doubted you and also for the times I planned to revenge. I just pray Gemini forgive me and may his…” Alex placed a finger on her lips preventing her from completing her statement.
“Let’s build new memories henceforth. With our kids. And I just bought a new estate. Estates actually, so…” Alex shrugged
“Alex, your uncle took everything from you. How were you able to get the estate?”
“You will soon know, baby mama. But you really hurt me, Fiona. You know I haven’t punished you for doubting me. For believing I did that to our child” Alex said and entered the bathroom.
He failed to see the blush on Fiona’s cheek.
Fiona smiled to herself when Alex entered the bathroom. She loved the new name he gave her but she was kind of anticipating the punishment he talked about.
Thinking about last night made her blush more. She never wanted it to end.
She can’t wait to openly claim him as her own.
‘If only Gemini was here she thought with a sad smile.

The door to Donald’s torture room opened and Matteo walked in.
Mira was surprised to see him there because the last time they had an encounter, it wasn’t a good one.
“You?” Mira asked and Matteo nodded.
“I’m not here to harm you. Let’s say, I want something from you” Matteo said opening the chains holding her down.
He took her to his room and brought first aid box to treat her wounds. All these while Mira was staring at him as if she was seeing him for the first time.
“Quit staring at me. My girlfriend is quite jealous” Matteo said and Mira bit her lips.
Maybe she is just seeing how cute he is. How come she didn’t notice his sharp features all these while.
“As if you have one” Mira said in her head.
Strangely she wanted him to be single.
“In exchange for your freedom, I need you to tell me everything you know about Mr Robert and his cohorts” Matteo said setting the box aside and Mira exhaled.
“You were right about Sandra. She is my sister” Mira started
“You don’t need to confirm that. I know” Matteo said boringly.
“You didn’t have to be rude” Mira muttered
“I heard that” Matteo said and Mira rolled her eyes before continuing with her story.
“I never said I wanted you to hear it? Mira said
“Will you tell me what I need to know or you still want to run your mouth? Matteo askes and Mira looked down picking on her finger nails.
“She was the one who sent those messages to Fiona. I have been the one giving out information about what goes on in Alex’s house to Robert. And I know that she was working with Robert and Fiona’s mom” Mira said with her eyes on the floor.
“What? Fiona’s mom?” Matteo asked with wide eyes.
“Yes. She takes orders directly from her. They were the ones that set Alex up on that day. I gave them Information about his movements. And I also know that there is something else Fiona’s mom is hiding. It has to do with Lucas’s mom. And I also overheard them talking about the death of Alex’s father sometime ago. Please I don’t want to go to jail. I promise to go far away from here and never return but just spare me” Mira begged.
“I suspected that woman” Matteo thought looking at Mira with pity.
He knew he don’t have the power to grant her freedom but he has gotten what he wanted.
“Is that all? Matteo asked.
“Mr. Roberts is planning to take away everything that my boss has. And then about Cora, I …” Mira tried something about Cora but Matteo stopped her.
He picked up his phone and sent a text to their group chat asking them to meet up in the next one hour.
🥀🥀
Alex and Kylan arrived at Donald’s house at the same time.
“Why do you have to monitor my movement every time? Must you copy what I do all the time. We are even wearing matching shirts” Kylan said and Alex rolled his eyes at him before walking inside.
“Here comes the best actor of the year” Donald said coming to meet them at the living room.
“Where is that Id*ot? Alex asked referring to Matteo and Matteo chose that moment to appear and hid behind Donald.
“I punched you so that our drama could be convincing enough. Besides, do you know the stress I had to go through to pretend like I support that man? You should be grateful baby” Matteo said
“I should be what?” Alex asked
“G-r-a-t-e-f-u-l. I even took a bullet for you the other time and You haven’t rewarded me for that” Matteo said.
“But seriously, Alex should sign up for acting. Did you see the way he was pleading as if it came from his heart” Donald said laughing.
“Things we do for love” Kylan said and they all turned to look at him.
“You open your mouth to speak for the first time and you are talking about love. Who are you deceiving this time?” Donald asked eyeing him.
“I was just saying the truth. He didn’t want anything to happen to the love of his life. And that reminds me, did you do the, umm yunno? Kylan asked with a sly smile and Alex threw a pillow at him.
“Yes. Give us the gist. How does it feel doing it with a pregnant woman? Matteo said coming out of Donald’s back.
“Maybe you should tell us how far you have gone with Cora” Alex said and Matteo cleared his throat. The rest laughed.
“I can’t wait to see the shock on everyone’s face when everything is over” Kylan said and the rest nodded.
“Ummm… I called us here because I got a lead to the person who tried to ki|| your first child with Fiona” Matteo said
The guys were not so shocked after he narrated what Mira told him.
“I kind of suspected that woman” Kylan said.
“And to think she has something to do with Lucas’s mom. I wonder if Lucas knows about this” Alex asked.
“Lets get them into their own trap” Donald said and they all agrees to his suggestions.
“I hope everything is ready” Alex asked and Matteo nodded .
“I’m still shocked that Lucas is doing this with us. He used to support that lunatic he calls a father” Matteo said
“You are a bad child. Calling your father a lunatic. I will report You to him” Kylan said.
“Do you need transportation? I can do that yunno” Matteo said
“Guys, its my uncle you are talking about. Show some respect. Eiiissshh. Where are your manners and home training? Alex asked feigning anger and the rest laughed.
“Home training? What’s that? Where is it found in the dictionary? Matteo asked.
“I’m glad that Alex is smiling again” Donald said
“The power of love. Father Lord, am I a potato? Kylan said dramatically
“Someone is crushing on you remember?” Alex said and he shot him a glare.
“That’s child abuse. I don’t want to be arrested” Kylan said
“I will still punish you for the punch. I’m out” Alex said to Matteo and stood up.
🥀🥀🥀
As soon as Alex left the house, Fiona decided to take a tour round the big house.
The guards didn’t let her go beyond the main house so she just decided to move from room to room.
She admired the paintings on the wall and everything in it.
She entered a room and marveled at the sight before her. The room feels like someone was there. Her eyes caught with a frame on the wall. It was Gemini. She felt sad immediately.
She turned around to leave but stopped when she heard the water running in the bathroom.
She became scared. Who could be there? Alex already left and the guards are outside so who could it be? She took slow and cautious steps to the bathroom and held the door knob. Before she could twist it, the door opened from inside and time stopped moving.
She moved back in fear and her leg hit the bed.
Her mouth opened on its own and before she could process what was happening, she fell on the bed and passed out.
🥀🥀🥀
“The new owner of the estate will be taking over today but I don’t think I can wait to see him. I have to meet with the person buying the companies let’s finalize everything” Robert said to Florence as they lay on the bed cuddling each other after a hot make out.
“I can’t wait for us to leave this place. I sold my house and the boutique too. I will go over to the house and pick a few things because I will be staying here till we leave” Florence said drawing invisible lines on his chest.
“Have they paid the money for the house and store?” Robert asked
“Not yet. She will do that when we meet today. We only signed a kind of agreement papers. No cause for alarm. Since Lucas is involved, I believe its quite genuine” Florence said and Robert creased his brows.
‘Agreement papers? He thought to himself but waved it off when he remembered that Lucas is involved.
“That’s good. We need to leave as soon as possible. Our papers are ready. I don’t know why Lucas doesn’t want to come with us. That’s his problem anyway. He badly wants me out of his sight” Robert said
“That explains why he is doing everything possible for you to sell all those things and live so that he will squander his own share of the money” Florence said and her phone started ringing.
“It’s the new owner of the house” Florence said and picked up her phone.
📞 I want to arrange the house and move in as soon as possible” the person said over the phone.
📞 I will be there soon” Florence said getting up from the bed.
She went into the bathroom and freshened up. She prepared and left the house.
Arriving at her old house, she met someone she wasn’t expecting.
Magret!
She was leaning against her car while Lucas stood some meters away from her.
She went over to Lucas ignoring Magret who smiled and followed her.
“Lucas who is she?” Florence asked
“ She is the new owner of the house. The one I told you about” Lucas said and started walking into the house while the two women followed.
“I will be moving in fully in two days time. So I want you to pick wh@??ver you have here and leave. You will get your payment next week. Lucas will get it across to you? Magret said.
“I want to use the rest room” Lucas said and Florence showed him the way.
“I’m just getting started with you” Magret whispered to Florence and sat down.
“What exactly do you want?” Florence asked.
“My child. The next time we meet, make sure you provide her for me because if I unleash vengeance on you, you wont live to tell the tale” Magret said with a smile
“Then I wll have to k*ll you again. As for your child, she is closer than you think but I will never let you have her” Florence said
“You will k*ll me again? So you k*lled me before? Florence asked
“Yes. I pushed you down the stairs but you refused to d*e. You were too stubborn. Always siding with that stupid Emily and her useless friend” Florence said and Magret feigned surprise.
“Oh! You are shocked? You are so dumb. I intentionally pushed you but you were too stubborn to d*e. I should have ended your daughter too. I don’t know why I left her alive” Florence said and Magret wanted to say something but stopped when Lucas showed up.
Lucas came out and looked at the two women. He let out a satisfactory smile.
‘The show is just getting started. There is no peace for the wicked’ he thought.
