Chapter 101
Fiona grinds her teeth in anger, she can’t believe the same families she suffered in their hands are the same families her daughter has been broken and mistreated.
She can ignore everything but not this, because of Dorah, her marriage was ruined and she was chased out of her home.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Austin, whom she considered to be her best friend, collaborated in plotting against her.
Then the man she loved and cherished, vow to stick by him through it all couldn’t believe her.
She blames herself for everything but blames them more.
Before she found Smiles in LA, she had been monitoring her. She could have taken her a long time ago if not because of Keane, who suddenly had total control over her life.
But now that she’s gotten her, nothing will stop her from executing her ultimate plan. Everyone responsible for her tears and her daughter’s pain will pay a thousandfold.
“I promise to make them pay, they will all pay for hurting you” Fiona promised in a whisper.
The door opens and a man walks in, it is Bruice. Fiona waves, asking him to slow down his voice in order not to wake Smiles up.
” Here is the food! Bruce said softly and placed down the food.
Bruice is the cab driver who carried Smiles to the airport. He was also responsible for her flight arrangements and everything.
It wasn’t all a coincidence that she ended up in LA, it was well planned by Fiona, with Bruice helping out with the process.
“What’s the next plan?” Asked by Bruice, Fiona quickly pulls him out of the room.
“Can you shush for a minute? She can hear us, you know” Fiona grumbles when they are outside.
“you know she won’t, right?” He said nonchalantly.
” And how sure are you?” Fiona asked with a frown.
“’cause I’m sure enough knowing how tired she is, ” He explains.
“so, what’s our next plan?” He asked.
Fiona seems to be thinking for some time, “We can’t go head-on with Austin, knowing how rich they are. But, we can start with the Warren, make sure they crumble to dust, with nothing left for them to boast of” She says, with a smile, it was more of an evil smile.
“You know it’s only Dorah that’s at fault right? Why suffer for the others?” Asked Bruice not understanding why she has to implicate the others.
“You see Bruice, if I deal with Dorah, she will be able to rise back up because her family won’t leave her in a state of complete mess. But if I deal with them all, they will be left with nothing, and hence, my plan of revenge will be a success.” Fiona said, with an evil grin on her face.
She’s so happy her first plan was a success, and now that she’s gotten Smiles, she can’t wait to deal with the others till they are completely nothing.
“Wise enough,” Bruice praised.
Fiona smiles, “I wasn’t this wise and wicked until they became the other version of myself.” She said with grit teeth.
“You are making a success, why dwell in the past?”Bruice spoke up, trying to pull her away from her thoughts.
He succeeded, she turned to him and smiled,” You are right. Now, we have to celebrate, the coming of my child and the success of my first plot against my enemies”,” Let’s deal with the Warrens first, I will leave you to it” Fiona said and turned and left.
She enters the room just as she takes her seat by the side, Smiles wake up.
It was so soon but she was happy. “You are awake,” Fiona said, helping her up seeing her struggling.
“I want to ease myself,” Smiles informs, pushing herself out of the bed.
She walks into the bath and after some minutes, she walks back to the bed.“I’m so hungry!” She complains, rubbing on her tummy.
Fiona smiles, pours water into the glass cup by the side, and gives it to her.
Smiles happily accepts, and gulp it down in one goal. Seeing how fast she was, Fiona handed her the lunch box.
“I know this isn’t what the doctor recommended for you, but I promise to prepare you those dishes and more when we get home.” Fiona apologizes.
Smiles could only smile and open on her food, eating like a hungry dog.
While she ate, Fiona watched her with pride, admiring her beautiful daughter. She reminds her so much of her younger self, her naive and innocent self.
Her heart warms at the sight of her daughter, sitting right before her eating. She’s always dreamt of this day, the day she will meet her daughter.
And here it is, staring at her in the face. What more could she have asked and wished for if not this? She is all that matters to her, her daughter is her all.
This got her thinking about Derrick. She quite remembers she left him when he was quite young, she doesn’t know if he can even remember her face or how she looked.
She wishes she could have them, both of them together in her arms. She will be more than grateful.
She didn’t know she was crying until Smiles spoke up
“What’s wrong Mom?” Smiles asked concern. She notices her sudden silence and is stunned to see her in tears.
Fiona wipes away the tears, “I just miss Derrick, I left when he was only five years old” she said in between her sobs.
Only then did Smiles remember she left without telling anyone, not even Derrick.
“I’m sorry!” Smiles apologize, knowing how hard it is for her.
“Don’t be, it’s ok for me to miss him. I’ve never stopped thinking about you both, I hope I get to see him one day” Fiona smiles, trying to dissolve the sad atmosphere.
“I hope so too” Smiles mutters under her breath, she misses her brother regardless of the situation and she knows she isn’t the only one hurt. He is definitely hurt too. S he hopes he is fine.
“Won’t you join me?” Smiles asked, she can’t be the only one eating. That will only mean she is selfish and doesn’t think of others.
Fiona smiles, “no child, it’s all for you” she denies politely.
Smiles wasn’t ready to hear her out as she carried a mouth full of food, “Here, have it. It’s delicious, ” she offers.
Seeing the smile on her face, Fiona couldn’t help but accept.
They both ate and chatted for some time before Fiona forced her to sleep.
“We will be going home tomorrow, you should get enough rest now,” said Fiona, resting her head by the bedside.
“I’m so happy you are alive, I’m happy you are here with me,” Smiles said, smiling.
“I am more than grateful we get to meet again after a long years of separation.” Fiona caresses her cheeks.
“You know I’m not a kid, right? I’ll soon be a mom” Smiles informs, reminding her of what’s soon to be.
“It doesn’t matter, you will forever be my Smiles, my little fairy and your babies will be my beloved grandchildren,” Fiona said, telling her of what will forever be.
Smiles were happy, and her cold and icy heart was warm by her words.” Good night Mom” she wished.
“Good night, princess, ” Fiona said in a whisper. She will never stop dotting on her, she deserves it anyway.
