LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 46
Fiona came out after they all left. She has been eavesdropping on them earlier so she heard everything they said.
She has been living with her own son all these while and she didn’t know. What if she carried on her plans of revenge against him? The thought alone makes her cringe.
How was she going to face him. Will he accept her as his mother?
She exhaled and went back to her room. She shut the door and leaned against it letting her tears drop. Everything is so messed up right now.
The thought of being Alex’s sister is eating her up slowly and now this.
“Fiona, are you there?” Hailey asked knocking on the door.
Fiona quietly went to the bed and lay down covering herself up and pretended to be asleep.
Hailey opened the door and entered fully when she saw Fiona on the bed.
She walked to the bed and sat beside Fiona stroking her hair.
“Everything is going to be fine. I promise I will stand by you. We are in this together” Hailey muttered with a sad smile.
“If only we could turn back the hands of time, you would have avoided Alex and all these trouble would not have surfaced. If only Florence didn’t take you away from your biological parents, you would have met Alex as your brother. If only she didn’t show you so much wickedness by taking away your child from you. If only you didn’t plan to ki|| your own son” Hailey was beginning to tear up too.
Her tears finally dropped but she wiped it off immediately. She should be strong for her friend. Both of them should not be weak at the same time. Let her at least be the shoulder her friend can lean on in difficult times.
Few moments later…
Hailey left the room when she finished speaking to Fiona whom she assumed was asleep.
Fiona started shedding silent tears the moment Hailey left.
What is her life turning into?
🥀🥀🥀
Alex arrived at his mother’s house and ran straight to Gemini’s room. He bathed in without knocking and Gemini came out of the bathroom at that moment. He was dripping wet, he just took a cold shower.
Alex ran the short distance between them and engulfed him in a tight hug.
“Dad?” Gemini called with surprise
“Dad, you are suffocating me. Is everything okay with you?” Gemini asked and Alex released him and moved back a bit.
“I’m sorry Gem. I was just too excited” Alex said
“Excited about what?” Gemini asked picking up a shirt on the bed which he threw on his body.
“You are my son afterall” Alex said and Gemini looked confused.
“Wasn’t I your son? I answer your surname so what are you talking about?” Gemini asked
“You are my biological son. I’m your legitimate father” Alex squealed happily like a kid that just got his favorite candy.
“Great. That’s great. But biological or not, i’m still your son” Gemini said
“What did I just hear?” Emily asked coming into the room.
“Mum, I just found out that Gemini is my real son, the one that was taken away at birth” Alex said
“Really!! Emily screamed and went to hug Gemini.
“But how did you find out?” Emily asked and Alex started explaining from the beginning. He carefully skipped the part where he and Fiona are siblings.
“That’s a relief. Florence is too wicked for my liking. After ki||ing my husband, he went after my grandchild too. This is heartlessness. To think that she was once my friend” Emily said.
“I need to visit that woman. You said she is with Donald right?” Emily asked and Alex nodded. She went upstairs immediately to get her car keys.
She came down in a few minutes and before Alex could stop her, she stormed out of the house.
“I need to do something. I can’t let her find out that Fiona is my sister. Everything will become more messed up than it already is” Alex thought.
He called Donald’s phone and no one picked it. He tried calling the others and only Kylan picked up.
🥀🥀🥀
Emily arrived at Donald’s house and went into the house without knocking. She met a phone which turned out to be Donald’s phone ringing on the couch. Matteo came out of the kitchen when he beard someone come in.
“Good day ma’am” he greeted politely and Emily nodded
“Where do I find Florence?” she asked and Matteo didn’t hesitate to take her there.
She smirked when she Saw the condition which Florence was in. Serves her right. She deserves everything she is getting right now.
“This wont be fun with me alone. I need to call Elizabeth let’s handle this once for all” Emily thought and went back to the living room.
She heard faint whimpers from the next room but ignored it anyway.
She called Elizabeth and she came over immediately with Hailey who insisted on following her.
“Florence is here. Let’s get her to confess her crimes. Since she is in pains, she will do anything we want as to regain her freedom” Emily said and Elizabeth nodded following her behind.
When they entered the room and Hailey saw how pitiful her condition was, she nearly threw up.
“The wickedness of the wicked shall turn against the wicked” Hailey muttered and folded her hands under her B-__-bies.
“You see your end, Florence. I can ki|| you now and no one will ever hear about it. What did I ever do to you that you have to frustrate my family this way?” Emily asked
“Are you really asking me what you did?” You slimy bi*ch. I should have been the one enjoying the Smith’s wealth, but you manipulated your way into Edward’s heart. You stole him from me, Emily”!!! Florence yelled.
“I stole Edward from you? The Edward you k*lled? How can you k*ll someone you claim to love?” Emily yelled back.
“I didn’t ki|| him. I couldn’t have k*lled someone I love so much. I did not do it” Florence said
“Liar. You are the only one who was jealous of my relationship with Edward. You took his life the same day Olivia was born, how wicked can you be Florence?” Emily said in tears.
“I DIDN’T ki|| EDWARD” Florence maintained
“She is saying the truth” Matteo said and the two women turned
They didn’t notice him come in.
“If she didn’t, then who did?” Emily asked
“Robert did. My father” Matteo said and Emily looked at him I’m confusion.
“Do I know your father?” Emily asked
“Yes. Your brother in law. Lucas father” Matteo said
“What?!! Does my son know about this?”
“Yes” Matteo said and Emily turned back to Florence with a smirk.
“You didn’t k.I.l.l her husband but your concubine did so it was a plan by the two of you afterall” Elizabeth said and Florence stared at her with surprise.
“Are you surprised ? You claim to love someone but you were sleeping with his brother” Elizabeth said and Florence looked away.
“That’s not my problem anyways. Why did you try to k*I*l*l my first grandson? Is that how wicked you are? Involving an innocent child in a fight that has nothing to do with him” Emily said and Florence smiled
“He has everything to do with it. I swore not to stop until I ruin you Emily and I successfully did” Florence said and Emily looked confused.
“What are you talking about?” Emily asked in fear.
“You first daughter, the one that d.i.e.d at the hospital. I mean the one you buried. She is alive” Florence said and Emily staggered in shock.
“Don’t fall yet until I tell who she is” Florence said laughing like a maniac.
“Its Fiona. She is your daughter. Your blood and she is dating her brother. Not just dating her brother, they have a child together and they are both gonna have another one soon” Florence said with a crooked smile this time.
Emily landed a blinding slap on her face and she winced in pains.
“You are truly heartless. How did you become my friend in the first place?” Emily sobbed
“You are unbelievable Florence. Don’t let her words get to you, Emily” Elizabeth said rubbing her back.
“Now let me shock you Florence. You are just dumb like your concubine. You couldn’t even differentiate a day old baby from a month old baby” Elizabeth said
“What do you mean?” Florence asked in confusion. Emily and Hailey also looked at her in confusion.
🥀FLASHBACKS🥀
Elizabeth was shopping in a convenience store when she saw the doctor walk in, she wanted to go and say hi because she remembered him from a month ago when she gave birth in his hospital. She stopped when she saw Florence approach him. She walked away to another side to do her shopping. Accidentally, she overheard their conversations about a baby.
“I can use the baby to get the Smith’s properties” that was Florence voice
“Her due date is next week, so you are coming to the hospital to take the baby yourself. And after that, we don’t know each other” that was the doctors voice.
“It was nice doing business with you” Florence said and left.
Elizabeth was shocked when she heard that. How was she going to save her friend this time. She knew Florence was a dangerous person and for the fact that she is working with Robert who is a more dangerous person, she didn’t want to be connected with what is happening. She got burnt the first time she involved herself and she got surgery. If she gets involved again, who knows what will happen this time? But she was more determined to save the situation. That was when the thought of leaving L.A entirely crossed her mind. She was going back to San Francisco for good until the baby come of age. But she would be on the look out for her baby too in case Florence tries anything stupid with her.
The following week she went to the hospital to see the doctor. She had to contact Magret for financial help so she could pay higher that Florence and take the child instead but the doctor demanded a very high amount she couldn’t Come up with so she decided to exchange the baby with hers, which has always been her initial plan.
She stayed by the day Emily gave birth and did the exchange before Florence could get there.
She left the hospital and went home with the child leaving her own behind.
🥀END OF FLASHBACK🥀
Hailey was already on the floor without being pushed. Emily’s mouth opened on its own and refused to close.
Florence was not left out in the shock. She has been chasing shadows all these while.
“No wonder, she looked familiar when I met her the first time” Florence thought
