LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 44&45
Hailey succeeded in putting Fiona to sleep few hours after she arrived. She covered her up and walked out of the room going to search for Donald. She met him at the celled with his favorite wine glass in his hands.
“What exactly happened?” Hailey asked taking the glass from Donald. She brought the glass to her lips to take a sip and Lucas scoffed. That was when she noticed him sitting a bit farther away from Donald.
“Oh! I didn’t notice him. Hi Lucas” Hailey said smiling at Lucas. He simply rolled his eyes and walked away.
“What’s up with him?” Hailey asked
“He’s on his period. Ignore him” Donald said and Hailey laughed.
“Are you guys close now?” Hailey asked
“I wish” Donald said and reached out to take a bottle of wine behind Hailey, kissing her in the process.
“In the face of chaos, you have time to kiss. Really?” Hailey said
“Your lips was in my way so I couldn’t ignore. Not sorry” Donald said and sat back
“So mind telling me what happened?” Hailey asked dropping the glass in her hands.
“It’s a big news. Fiona and Alex are siblings” Donald said and Hailey’s mouth opened and refused to close.
“You are not serious. Are you?” Hailey asked blinking her lashes countless times.
“I’m d@mn serious. Florence said that” Donald said
“That means Florence is not her mother. That explains the wickedness tho” Hailey said nodding her head.
“And about Cora, Gemini’s maid, her mother came here today. They found her brother” Donald said
“Oh! Really? That’s good news” Hailey said
“Yeah. Nathan is her brother. It looks like Cora lied about her whereabouts to her mother. So unfortunately, she came here with Alex and met her mother. Disappointing right?” Donald asked
“She must have a good reason to lie about her whereabouts” Hailey defended Cora
“I knew you would say that. Same way you had a reason to run away from me. But she actually had a reason. She said Derek thr_@tened to k*ll her mother and brother” Donald said
“This is really a big news but Alex and Fiona being siblings is a shock of the century” Hailey said.
Unknown to them Fiona wasn’t sleeping. She went to the room where Florence was kept.
“Mom, tell me that what you said about me and Alex isn’t true” she cried
“Why do you think I wanted you to go for Lucas? I want the Smith Properties. I wanted you to make Lucas love and trust you then you k*ll him and we pin his murder on Alex. After that I would send you back to your mother and she would not have anything by then. But you ruined my plans. You ungrateful ?îtçh” Florence cursed.
“Why. What did she ever do to you to warrant such wickedness?” Fiona asked
“She did a lot. Your wh-_-re of a mother stole a lot of things from me. She stole the man I love, stole my friends and stole my spotlight in school. It was all about her. No one recognized me anymore. I saw your father first and I loved him first but that sl*t you call a mother came and stole him from me. I should have been the one enjoying the Smith’s wealth but Emily stole that from me. Elizabeth was also my best friend but she stole her from me too. As if that wasn’t enough, she stole my popularity so tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t erase her from the surface of the earth? I tried eliminating her but Elizabeth was playing the hero and got hurt instead” Florence said and Fiona palmed her mouth.
“Elizabeth? As in Hailey’s mom” Fiona asked
“Yes. She should thank her stars that she had surgery that was why I couldn’t recognize her easily” Florence said.
“What if you recognized her earlier?” Fiona asked
“She would have been history” Florence said nonchalantly
This is not the sweet woman she loved as a mother. This was a totally different person.
“What happened to my Mother? Mom this is not you?” Fiona yelled in tears.
“Emily happened to me” Florence yelled back.
Their yells made Donald and Hailey to run into the room.
Hailey held Fiona who kept crying nonstop.
“Hailey, did I do something wrong in my past life that God have decided to punish me like this?” Fiona sobbed
“You didn’t do anything wrong dear. This is just a phase and it will pass. Trust me” Hailey said patting her back.
“How do i face Alex now? I’ve been dating my own blood. We even had a child together and we are expecting another one. Just how do I explain this?” Fiona kept crying.
“None of these is your fault okay. Who knows Florence might just be bluffing” Hailey said patting her back.
“What if she is not” Fiona asked in between hiccups.
“Then we’ll find a way to deal with it. Just pull yourself together” Hailey said.
“I think we’ll head home now. She will stay with me for a while. Until things get cleared” Hailey said when Donald looked at her.
“That’s a good idea. I will drop you both” Donald said taking his car keys.
He glanced at Lucas and Lucas rolled his eyes and looked away.
“The rate at which you are rolling your eyes today, it might just fall off” Donald said
“Its my eyes not yours” Lucas said and stood up.
“I never said its my eyes” Donald said smiling
“Are you leaving already?” Donald asked
“We are not close for me to stay” Lucas replied
Donald opened his mouth to say something but closed it back and they both stared at each other.
Hailey kept looking at them wondering what was going on between them.
“Ummm… can we go now?” Hailey asked interrupting the staring competition going on between the two guys.
“Ye..Yes” Donald said and walked out. Lucas rolled his eyes again and followed him.
“None of you bothered to tell me that you are leaving me all by myself” Matteo said appearing in the living room.
“Oh! I didn’t know you are around” Hailey said with a smile.
“I think I heard Lucas’ voice” Matteo said and Hailey nodded.
“He is leaving already” Hailey said and Matteo smiled. He waved at Fiona who nodded in response.
Hailey and Fiona both walked out of the house and entered Donald’s car. Lucas leaned on his car without making an attempt to leave.
“Are you sure everything is okay between you both?” Fiona asked
“Yeah. Everything is fine” Donald said
“Something personal is going on between you two but I will wait until you are ready to settle” Hailey said and Donald opened the car door and stepped down.
“You are not leaving?” He asked Lucas who focused on his phone ignoring him.
“You can do anything else but don’t ignore me like I don’t matter” Donald said and snatched the phone from Lucas.
“I see you badly need my attention, now you have it. What?” Lucas said and went Donald moved closer to him.
“Are you really going to keep ignoring me” Donald asked but Lucas only stared at him without saying anything.
“You see that thing in your mind, don’t do it” Donald said and someone coughed behind them.
They turned and saw Matteo standing with his hands in his pockets.
“Now i’m convinced its not just about Robert. There is something personal you both are hiding. God help you if I find out myself” Matteo said and went away leaving them standing.
Lucas entered his car and drove away while Donald went back to his own car too and drove away.
The drive to Hailey’s house was a very silent one as Fiona was sleeping soundly and Hailey was enveloped in her thoughts about what could be the problem between Lucas and Donald. Donald himself wasn’t sure of what to say to Hailey or Fiona.
They arrived at her house and met a car in front of the house. Hailey woke Fiona up and led her into the house after saying her goodbyes to Donald. She kept wondering who owns the car outside.
They entered the house and met Magret and Elizabeth engrossed in a deep conversation. Cora was assisting Jayden and Elena to set the table.
“Oh! Hailey. You are back” Elizabeth said when they entered.
“Welcome sis” Jay greeted and Elena did the same. Cora waved at them.
“Yes mom. Good day ma’am” Hailey greeted Magret and Fiona did the same.
“How are you my child?” Elizabeth said looking at Fiona pitifully.
“I’m good” Fiona said and wanted to sit down.
“I think you should go freshen up and come to the table. You both” Elizabeth said
Hailey looked at her mom for some minutes and she understood she was asking who Magret was.
“My friend I told you about and that’s her daughter. Gemini’s maid” Elizabeth explained
“Oh! You must be Mrs. Mag ret” Hailey said and Magret nodded.
A phone rang beside Fiona and she picked it up so the owner can come for it.
Elena came forward and took the phone from her. When she finished speaking on the phone, Fiona called her attention.
“The lady on your screen, who is she?” Fiona asked
“My mom” Elena said and Fiona nodded.
“We’ll have to go get some of tour stuff from Alex’s house” Hailey said
“Yeah. That’s true. I almost forgot” Fiona said
“I’ll call Matteo to come take us there” Cora said and everyone looked at her.
“Ummm… I mean he has the spare key to Alex’s house. That’s why” she explained and rushed out.
Fiona and Hailey followed. Cora called Matteo and he arrived in no distant time.
“I think I will come along to help” Jay said dropping the plates in his hands.
“I’m coming along too” Elena said and followed him. She flashed Magret a cute smile and rushed after Jayden.
🥀▫FEW MOMENTS LATER▫. ALEX’S HOUSE🥀
Matteo and the rest arrived at the house and Fiona went to her room to get some of her stuffs. The rest waited in the living room.
Elena spotted the picture on the table and picked it up.
“How come Mr. Alex has my mom’s picture?” she asked facing Jayden.
“Your mom? Let me take a look” Jayden said and took the picture from her.
“Its her. How come?” Jayden asked and Matteo looked up that instant.
“Did you say your mom?” Matteo asked and Elena nodded.
“There is no way this is happening. That woman is my mom and the person that k*lled her is under our custody. So how is she your mom?” Matteo asked
“She is my mom. Look at the pictures we took together. She d°ed when I was a child. She was k*lled by someone who I will give anything to see her rot in jail” Elena said showing them the pictures on her phone and Matteo exhaled.
“What other shock is remaining?” Matteo said closing his eyes.
“Since they have her, case closed” Jayden said rubbing Elena’s shoulder.
“What is going on?” Hailey asked as she came out with Fiona carrying a bag.
Jayden took his time to explain what happened in details.
“Can we leave before Alex comes here?” Fiona said.
“Don’t tell me you are avoiding him” Hailey said.
“Why wont I avoid him” Fiona said.
Soon they were on their way back to Hailey’s house.
💜💜💜
Few days later…
Everyone has tried to adjust to the news and shocks they got from Florence except Fiona and Alex of cos.
Nathan has been visiting his mother and sister at every opportunity he gets.
Cora left Alex’s house and started staying with her mother and Elena.
Robert is still in jail charged with murder and fraud.
Florence was still I’m Donald’s house.
Fiona herself rarely comes out. She is becoming a shadow of herself.
Gemini stays with his grandma and aunt Olivia.
Elizabeth has been offering every assistance she can to Fiona.
Alex has refused to tell his mom what exactly was going on with him. Him and Fiona has been avoiding each other. He gets drunk at every little opportunity he get. He hasn’t been to work for some time now and everyone is becoming worried about him.
Currently, Alex was seated with his friends. The were all in Kylan’s house.
“Dude, why don’t you tell your mom what is going on?” Matteo asked.
“What should I tell her exactly? How do I say it? Okay, I should walk up to her and say mom i’ve been dating my sister. Dude, please” Alex said staring into space.
“I don’t know how long you will keep up with this” Donald said.
“Guys wait, there is something we have not really talked about. We only focused on getting the culprits which we have successful gotten. But we haven’t talked about Alex’s first child” Kylan said and the rest nodded.
“That’s true. We totally forgot about the innocent child” Donald said
“Remember, Jayden said something about giving the child to a couple” Kylan said.
“Now, how do we find the couple. This happened years ago. I’m not sure Jayden knows their names. And Elena’s mom and your mom is gone” Matteo said.
“Let’s ask him first maybe, just maybe, we can get a clue” Alex said and Donald patted his back.
“And after that, we consider handing Florence over to the authorities” Donald said
“And maybe after that, you tell us what is going on between you and Lucas” Matteo said and the rest looked at Donald.
Alex stood up and picked his car keys.
“Where to?” Matteo asked
“To Jayden. Where else” Alex said heading out and Matteo rushed after him and took the key from him.
“I told You not to drive till further notice. Your mind is not at rest now” Matteo said and Alex sighed.
▫JAYDEN’S HOUSE▫
The guys were seated with Jayden who kept looking at them somehow wondering why they came all the way here in a group.
“Okay. To what do I owe this visit?” Jayden asked
“You said you gave that child to a certain couple, remember?” Kylan asked and he nodded.
“How can we locate them” Kylan asked and Jayden’s expression turned to a sad one.
“Why the sad look?” Matter asked.
“They are de@d. They di*d in an accident. You might have heard of the famous Snow store accident that took a family of three. It was them” Jayden said
“Snow store accident?” Alex and Kylan asked at the same time and Jayden nodded.
“Gemini” Alex muttered and stood up rushing out of the house.
The rest ran after him.
