Passage 69
Lexi picked up her phone as she called her Uncle Kenny when she took the kids back to Chris's new house as she knew how overly dramatic Martha Kirkwall can be. The phone rang through as Martha picked up seeing it was Lexi trying to snitch on Sarah.
" Well aren't you playing for the wrong side,Lexi . I'm sorry your Uncle Kenny is indisposed right now. Please do not call back." She said as she was going to protect her daughter Sarah from anyone who wishes to harm her.
Lexi kicked herself not thinking her aunt Martha was going to answer her uncles phone and help Chris out of this little problem his wife caused . She had to think fast as Kenny usually had an emergency phone tucked in his desk at work that her aunt Martha didn't know about. He had gave her the number when she was his only niece .
Lexi looked for the number in her phone as she rang the phone as it rang a little bit as it went to voice mail. Lexi left a brief message for her Uncle to call her back as soon as possible knowing that is all she could do right now with her aunt Martha blocking her uncles phone calls . Lexi tried his number again hoping he would answer as a another attempt she heard the rerouted message knowing her number was blocked.
That evil peice of crap. Thought Lexi as she had to wait until her Uncle called her back from his other phone in his office.
Meanwhile Christopher rested lightly with all the feet scuffing and noises echoing though the night. He would hear guys talking about stories and doors opening. He wasn't about to try to talk to anyone here but the lawyers he requested. He called one lawyer to bring another lawyer with him because he was fed up with Sarah lately. He had one mess up and she was justifying every thing she did on that one mess up.
Lexi and him were pretty plutonic as the old feeling towards her hadn't came to the surface of his mind. Right now he didn't want any woman near him and just wanted to be left alone with his thoughts. He liked that she allowed him see his son as he looked exactly like Christopher.
Christopher all he could do is wait and see what was going to happen. He knew they couldn't hold him for no longer than three days without evidence he did what was written on the charges brought against him. He was glad his kids wasn't there to make the situation worse. Sarah would take them from him to trap him here in the house with her knowing he wouldn't leave without them.
That's why he sent them off with Lexi so if a fight did break out his kids would t be used against him to negotiate him returning to Sarah . He pondered he definitely was going to get a Vasectomy with all the random children suddenly appearing. He caught a close one with Regina as he knew that would never go over well with Sarah if she came over with their kid. He had a child with Lexi which side tracked him .
Sarah became pregnet pretty soon as the married young . He was twenty one when he married her and she was only eighteen . She was only a year out of highschool and attending community college for her core classes before plans to go to a university a few years later. When Sarah became pregnant the following year with kennith her plans to go to University was put on hold.
Christopher heard an officer open the door as he opened his eyes to see Kenny kirkwall standing there . He wasn't expecting me. Kirkwall to show up before his lawyer but he guess Lexi got a hold of him like he asked.
Kenny kirkwall went to his office early that morning as he saw a missed call from Lexi and he called her back as soon as he listened to her messages. There was multiple messages as she kept getting cut off as he explanations only had two minutes windows to speak.
" Come on Christopher let's go. I posted bail for you." Mr. Kirkwall said as he knew what happened between his wife and his son in law. Kenny knew Martha was out for blood when she found out he cheated on his daughter and Lexi beat her up. Right now the kirkwalls were divided . Chad went back out of town and his life not wanting to deal with Sarah .
Christopher grabbed his coat and sat up as he went upstairs to gather his things. Kenny and him never really spoke without Martha present so the walk upstairs was strange and the fact his father in law bailed him out was questionable. Christopher told Kenny where to drop him off as he knew Lexi was waiting for him.
As the car ride was awkward Christopher had to say something." Thank you for bailing meout I had called my lawyer but I see you beat him to the punch." He said casually.
" A lawyer representing a lawyer . I guess even lawyers need their own lawyers." Laughed Kenny as Christopher glared at Kenny as this was the first time she heard Kenny crack a joke or laugh at all.
" I'm tempted to get a vacectomy to be done with all the problems I've had with women of late." Stated Christopher forgetting Kenny's daughter was one who was one of the women.
" It might not be such a bad idea. I got one secretly with Martha after Sarah was born. I honestly didn't want her ruining anyone else lives . She is my wife but she is also very high strung. Her father is a big pusher of his daughter being always innocent much like how Martha is with sarah. I once remembered Sarah broke a really expense display in a store one Christmas and I went to punish her and Martha called Peter over and he made it clear that day I wasn't going to lay one finger on sarah. I was her father and I was being repremended by my father in law to not punish my own child. So you wanting to prevent future children is understandable." Remarked Kenny. As Christopher looked at him shocked him saying that about Martha. Kenny and him had barely said a single nice word between them and as he looked at this man giving him advice about the women in his family he knew the macho bravado was all him peacocking in front of Martha.
" Why didn't you just divorce her if you had no control over what happened in your house?" Asked Christopher trying to figure out his next move.
" Because divorcing her would give her what she wants. I'm not willing to allow her to torture anyone else . Her and Sarah are exactly the same. I saw it when she was a little girl. It's why I was against your marriage. Not that I didn't like you taking my little girl away but I didn't want her to be like her mother and treat another human being how she treated me. Me not divorcing her was me preventing her reproducing other children being made so she can't ruin and spoil another child that can't be held responsible for anything she did." He said as Christopher had never heard Kenny speak like this about Sarah either.
" And Chad?" He asked scared to know what was his deal and his perspective was changing every word spoken.
" Chad is like me. He stays in his lane and let the woman do as they want. Chad would always be scolded by Martha Everytime he left Sarah out of things. When Lexi used to spend every summer at our house Sarah would fuss Chad forgot about her . Martha and Lexi were always on war terms over Sarah and her supposed mistreatment. When Lexi gave Sarah a whooping I didn't stop her. It was time Sarah was handled the way she handled others." He explained as Christopher's jaw dropped open. He didn't realize Kenny was a prisoner in his own household.
" Did Martha ever find out that you got a vecectomy? I mean . It will solve the problem of random kids from past relationships popping up in the future. Not that I'll ever cheat on Sarah again . I've been on the sofa for a month than the guest room for three months since we came home from the hospital. I feel like I'm serving a life sentence for something I came clean for and stopped seeing the other woman.when Sarah asked." Said Christopher not sure if he over stepped his welcome with the information he shared.
He knew he couldn't share what that Lexi and him had a son together . Sarah was enough and the affair. Kenny didn't need to know he knocked up his only niece too. Not while his life was in Kenny's hands as he drove him to his new home. Then he realized Lexi will be there with all three kids and he will see it first hand. He looked around his surroundings as he saw they were five minutes away.
" Yeah she found out . She wasn't very thrilled with me . But it was my duty to humanity to prevent anymore genetic spawn from her." He chuckled as he pulled into the driveway. He shut the car off as Christopher sat awkwardly knowing the truth had to be told. He was just glad if he had to die at least it would be somewhere they could find his body.
" Kenny I need to tell you something before we go inside. I'm going to be honest with you and not hide things from you since you've been so forthcoming with me ." Christopher said nervously as he looked at the house door.
" Lexi is here." Started Christopher.
" I know she told me she was watching kennith and kensley while you were in jail." He said as he looked at him suspicious.
" Okay shit I'm going to spell it out . You just going to have to promise me if you kill me make sure my kids don't see it." Said Christopher as his palms sweat .
" It all depends." Said Kenny as he turned to Christopher as he held the car keys in his hand.
" Lexi and I dated that one summer eight years ago. Well Sarah supposedly told her mom Chad and her were being well inappropriate with each other and she was made to return home. " He took a breath trying to analyze Kenny's mood.
" I already know that part. That's why Lexi whooped Sarah's butt . Which was rather entertaining don't tell Sarah I ever said that." He said with a smirk.
" Well when Lexi left she was pregnant. I honestly didn't know until Lexi came back in town. Please ,please, don't kill me I really didn't find out until I left Sarah." Pleaded Christopher as he held his hands over his head in defence.
" I have a great niece or nephew?" Said Kenny puzzled and Christopher peaked through his arms to see him smiling at the news.
" A great nephew. My son. I just didn't want to spring it on you since you were so nice to bail me out when you didn't have too." Said Christopher scared what Kenny would do.
Kenny looked at the house and he smiled.
" Come on. Let's go meet my nephew then." He said opening the car door as he got out . Christopher was confused what just happened. He got out of the car not sure if this was a trick and he was going to beat the hell out of him in the yard.
" Why are you so calm?"he said as he was cautious of Kenny's mood change.
" I have a great nephew. Come on Christopher introduce me to your son." He said as he put his arm around Christopher's shoulder as he stiffened uncertain of what was about to happen. Kenny practically dragged Christopher to the door as he rang the door bell. Lexi opened the door as she hugged her Uncle and the three kids sat on the sofa watching television.
" Uncle Kenny. You got him out thank you so much. I would have but I was here with the kids and didn't want to drag them up there." She said as she smiled at her Uncle. Christopher was bewildered at what the hell was going on. Kenny went to the three kids and hugged them as the two boys wrestling with him.
Christopher looked around as he was afraid to come inside like he was in a time warp where he was seeing things that weren't there.
" What's going on ,Lexi?" Asked Christopher as he watch Kenny play and wrestling with the two boys.
" Uncle came over earlier and I told him. He is cool with our child. He actually likes Christopher junior. Don't worry we talked about it ." She assured him as he came in the new house as he stood awkwardly.
" I returned the moving truck after they determined you weren't steeling from Sarah as Martha said and I had the police write an order of repair and I paid for the repairs and sent the bill to Sarah since she broke it. Dinner is almost done . I wasn't going to let you stay the entire three days in jail and do nothing about it Chris cross." She said as she smiled at Christopher.
Christopher had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't knocked out in jail and was in a dream. Lexi looked at him awkwardly.
" You done pinching yourself there?" She said letting out a laugh. As it was awkward watching Christopher harming himself.
" I was just messing with you Christopher. I knew about your son . He is a spitting image of you. You can't deny this one." Said Kenny as he picked up kensley as she was into slapping faces and Kenny held her hands to stop.
" No no no we don't hit little miss. I will put you down if you act like that. Don't hit Grandpa." He scolded the little girl as she pouted being told no.
" We have to stop the cycle , Christopher. I won't let my granddaughter be ruined by bad behavior. " He said kissing the little girl as she giggled as he did it.
" Ok did I hit my head or something. Where the hell is Mr. Be a man ?" Christopher said as he wasn't convinced he wasn't being punked.
" Is there hidden cameras somewhere where I'm being watched to see what I do?" Continued Christopher paranoid at the situation he saw.
" No. I'm sorry I treated you that way. I was only being fed a one sided story by Martha all those years. She would tell me things to get me worked up and unleash me on you. It wasn't until I saw how Sarah was treating you that I realized it was her mother's influence that was rubbing off on you. Martha put me through hell being married to her, she still is. When Sarah flipped out on you the way she did and the amnesia stunt she pulled on all of us I stopped siding with Martha ." He explained as Christopher nodded his heat slowly.
" Rrrriiight." Christopher said in disbelief.
" I totally support you and Lexi over you and Sarah." He said in support.
" What!"screamed Christopher in shock.
" Let me get this straight. Your okay with me cheating on your daughter whom I'm married to with Lexi ?" He said now stunned at what he was hearing coming out of Kenny's mouth.
" Look I know it's messed up. Sarah should have never moved in on you after Lexi left. I see that now the error of her ways. It was wrong to turn against family for a man. But more I see of Sarah the more I think your doing the right thing in separating. I'm not saying divorce her. I'm saying don't let Lexi suffer for Sarah's actions. You don't have to make any choices now just think about it. Look at your son. You have the kids already. Sarah has already done most of the damage already and trust me if she is anything like Martha she isn't done either. " He said as Christopher was confused who the hell Kenny was .
" So you don't hate me as I thought you did?" He said confused at what he was witnessing.
" No. I admit I was disappointed at you at one time,and upset with you as a man. But that was me listening to Martha and Sarah's side of the story . I should have just asked you. I was proud of you when you got your law degree and made partner with that firm. It gave me hope Sarah was being taken care of. When you had an affair and came clean that took guts. I can respect an honest man. A cheating one but one who can own up to his own shit. Sarah causing your other woman to miscarry is a tragedy . Your right the child didn't deserve that. I'm not saying what you did wasn't wrong ,but what she did was wrong too " he said as he sighed.
" And I was wrong for judging you for trying to do the right thing with Sarah. I am sorry for all the mean things I said I was misinformed about you until I had a good talking with Lexi and she told me everything you e been going through." He said as a softness touched his eyes as he said his apologies.
" I see. Can I process this conversation for a moment it's a lot to take in." Said Christopher exhausted with all the information he just now found out .
" And we will talk later about the thing we talked about in the car earlier. I still think it is a good idea if you ask me." He said as he was trying not to hint to Lexi what went on as she was in the kitchen getting the plates ready for dinner.
" Huh? He thought then it hit him he was talking about the vasectomy . " Ooooohhhhhhh. Okay I got you " said Christopher as he lowered his voice moving out of earshot of Lexi .
" Come on . Dinner is ready. I made lasagna ." She said as they all went to the dinner table as food was served and the kitchen went silent in agreement.
Brittany Veshper sat in her car as she was crying too heavy to continue to drive. She pulled over a few miles down the highway with no direction to go and no where to go . Her Aunt Chloe died because she was drinking too much not because she was visiting James as she tried to convince herself of this over and over .
She had never seen her Uncle Brett like this before. Usually he was a comical relief but when he kicked her out like she was the problem it broke her up more than she thought. Aunt Chloe was the only family she had and she was dead . She turned her car off and began to cry more as it began to also pour down rain as it matched her current mood.
Where was she going to go. She only had a car , cellphone, a credit card which was in her aunt Chloe's name and she sure wouldn't last long and a bank card that she collected her pay for as a bartender at a sleezy club she only worked part time at. She didn't ever really have to work but she did it to do something instead of go shopping and be bored out of her mind . Brett was a stock broker and they all lived well off and now all she had was what she could carry out of on her.
Even the car was in her aunt Chloe's name and she wondered how long before she lost that too . The rain was relentless as she cried and cried remembering her last conversation with her aunt before she left to go see James. Now Brittany really had nothing else to live for . Brittany friend Nanette called as she answered her phone. Nanette was French and always finding the most interesting guys to have so many stories to talk about. Nanette newest guys name was josh and he was a total puppy dog in his manners. He was the cutest and sweetest thing.
" Hello." Sniffled Brittany as she tried to clear up her tears and straighten her voice.
" Gurl are you crying? Who did it ? Where are they at? Do I need a shovel to bury the body because I'll do it for you." She said as she was the jumpy down for anything type of friend.
" No one my aunt Chloe died today and my uncle said it was my fault. We got into a huge fight and I'm on the side of the road crying and all." She said as tears rose again in a sad sob.
" Oh gurl I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you okay?" She asked now more concerned.
" No I'm not okay my uncle Brett kicked me out of the house . I am on the side alone with only the clothes on my back and a part time job. A job I don't even like . I'm a part time bartender omg I'm going to die if starvation on my rate of pay.I don't know where I'm going to go or if I'm going to live in my car and be homeless. Can I stay with you until I figure things out?" Cried Brittany as Nanette began to feel awkward as all she was calling her for was a house party at her house and she needed some beverages as they were out already and it wasn't even over.
" Oh gurl I'm sorry . So I suppose your not up to party or do a run for me are you?" She said trying not to be insensitive about Brittany's news. She totally ignored Brittany request to move in.
" No I'm not up for a run. What the hell my aunt just died and you want me to buy you drinks for your party? You are unbelievable. Is that all I am to you free drinks and a good time." She said more angry now her friends only want her to get them drinks for free.
" Whoa! Don't be such a spaz . Calm down. It's fine I don't need that type of negativity around me . I don't do negative energies." Said Ashley as she really didn't want her around her home Brittany was good to hang with for a few hours but she was a little high strung.
" I'm a spaz ,Ashley really . My entire world is falling apart and you want me to buy drinks instead of being my friend . I suppose since I am a bartender I'm good to keep your real friends entertained. I'm just the drinking friend. You know what don't worry about it . I'll figure it out. Thanks for not being my actual friend ." Brittany ended the call overwhelmed at the lack of friends she had . She call three more friends and no one answered her and two more sent her to voicemail. Brittany just put her head on the steering wheel and gave up .
Meanwhile cynthia Walton sat in the office with Mr .Anders . She was an elderly woman . She was tired of Regina running the Zehetii house like a brothel in her opinion. From the day she met her she hated Regina . She wanted her out of the house .
"How exactly do you know Regina Zehetii?" Asked Mr. Anders as he set up the paperwork for her statement. The man was odd man but a damn good lawyer.
" I am Cynthia Watson. I have been the head of house in the Zehetii home for three generations. I've have raised two Zehetii's under my employment. I know that young Alexander is not the son of my late Mr. Gregory. I have witnesses many horrific things in that house. I was there the night mr. Gregory died . And I will tell you it was no accident." Cynthia said as proud as she could holding up her head .
" I see and why are you willing to tell on your employer?" Asked Mr. Anders carefully as he wrote down word for word his meeting notes .
" Regina is not my employer. I am paid by the matriarch of the zehetti line Mrs. Gretchen zehetti. The grandmother of Gregory zehetti. The entire house is paid by her and finances managed by her. Mr. Gregory only owned one business and one mansion of the zehetti dynasty. He was given the estate I reside in for the marriage of his first bride to be Miss Bethany Bruno Grigorii. When he came home with Regina we were all disappointed. We were trained to serve Mr Gregory and Mrs. Bethany not that woman." She said explain her house history.
" I see so Gretchen zehetti is the main householder of the zehetti wealth. How did Regina end up married to Gregory of he was meant to marry Bethany." He asked as he was now puzzled how that happened.
" An old debt that needed to be paid. The Toosleys' owed the Zehetii's a lot of money. Mr. Alexander came too early in the time of conception as was told by Regina .We never was allowed at any appointments to see the true date of conception or due date for the said child.His true father is Roger Evenburg."she said as a matter of a fact .
" Roger Evenburg as in Evenburg and associates law firm?" He confirmed as all the puzzle was clicking into place as Bethany was wrapped up with that law firm and the zehetti fortune . It was all making sense now her concern for the living trust.
" Yes sir. He was also the one who murdered Mr. Gregory. He died to prevent the paternity of mr. Alexander. I have some hair from Mr. Alexander 's hair brush for a DNA test . It will come back as Rogers son. Zehetti children have dark hair and green eyes all of the children no matter the mother all born with the same features. Mr. Alexander is blonde hair and grey eyes." She said pointing out the difference. She handed the lawyer the collected hair in a bag. Along with a picture of mr. Alexander.
" You said Mr. Gregory.died to keep this paternity secret? That's a very serious accusation." Stated mr.anders now pushing his glasses up on his face.
" Quite right ,sir. I heard Mrs. Regina say it a few days ago as her and mr. Roger fought over the paperwork they received from your offices. She was screaming like a harpe and woke up Mr. Alexander from a nap he needed. I called Roger to settle her down and that's when I heard her confess the false paternity of Mr. Alexander." She said finally.
Cynthia knew if she got Gretchen in the fold Regina would be gone before she could say a word . Gretchen met Regina at the wedding and she glared at her expecting Bethany. When she realized the girl was a means to pay off a debt she treated her as such. Even her toast was directed that way.
Cynthia remember laughing as Regina shot her a look as the great Gretchen zehetti held up her glass." A toast for the couple. I shall only say a few brief words." Said the woman purposely leaving out the happy part of the toast." My boy Gregory is married and boy what a marriage it is. I honestly have to commend the boy on his skills of negotiations an keeping business good. Debts should always be honored by any means necessary . I had expected a different outcome to this wedding. In fact I expected an entirely different bride all together,but some deals are too good to pass up I suppose. To business well done and to the future of the zehetti dynasty. May all your endeavors be a successful as this one." She said sipping her champagne lacing a clear disapproval of the new bride she met. Regina glared at how Gretchen made her sound like she was just bought on a market discount. Regina and Gretchen did not get along from the first glare at each other.
" Grams , ummhhhmmmm that was quite a toast." Stumbled Gregory as he was a bit embarrassed by her blaten words about their union.
" Well if it looks like a cow ,and mows like a cow i suppose you buy the damn cow. But honestly Gregory why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free with this one . I was expecting Bethany not what's her name ." Fussed Gretchen seeing the preperations of an elaborate wedding to be wasted on the wrong bride.
" Now she owes me money for all the money I wasted on this wedding for her to enjoy what was meant for Bethany. I was looking forward to welcoming Bethany not some bottom feeder toosley ." She said as she said it loud enough for Regina to hear it as Regina's face was crimson red now.
"Grammy!" Hissed Gregory as he saw the insult casted at his bride.
" Do try really hard to have plenty of zehetti babies . Don't leave my dear Gregory lonely or left wanting in your pursuit to financial freedom. I expect my grandson to get everything he paid for so handsomely." Gretchen said as a direct order to Regina . Regina gawked at the audacity of the woman to talk so openly about her depravity. As she purposely belittled Regina as he once happy smile now was set in a ugly frown.
Cynthia had a plan to get rid of regina once and for all. Mr. Anders rubbed his face as he took the hair knowing this was a risk he was about to take . He opened up a bag and placed some paperwork inside to be sent off as he motioned for his sectary to take the parcel to be tested. Regina had been avoiding Mr Anders request and he tried contacting her by the house phone listed for the zehetti estate. He was aware of Gretchen zehetti and her four sons and he had spoken with her . Cynthia's confirmation of her relationship to Gregory cleared up a lot of questions.
" Thank you Mrs. Watson. I greatly appreciate you coming forward with this evidence. My concern is if you work for the zehetti house once Regina is removed where will you and the remaining staff go?" He asked more concerned now about the outcome of this woman good will gesture.
" What staff we are a collective not a staff anymore . We have two cooks of the the six left. Once driver of the four left. Three maids of the twelve left and we lost our only butler because of that horrible woman and her spoiled demands. This was all in the past year since Mr. Gregory passed. Besides I've already taken care of that. I've secured all of us a spot in the zehetti estates closer to Gretchen . I've been a head of house a very long time. There isn't much I don't know about handling the zehetti business. On that note. Roger didn't know he was to kill mr. Gregory. Regina set that up as I saw her act for him making mr. Gregory aware of her and Rogers affair on purpose. Mrs. Regina is a calculating person . I saw her make the call to make Roger think she was in danger from Mr. Gregory. The fight was accidental,but the real culprit behind the fight was Mrs. Regina and the child she was hiding." Said Cynthia in finality feeling like she was accomplishing what she set out to do. She didn't want Regina ruining the zehetti's good name. She was doing this for Mr. Gregory.
" I see you have everything figured out so far. These are some serious accusation and as much as will like results today the hair sample you gave me will take about two weeks to produce any results. So until then you must not alert Mrs. Zehetti of any foul play here. We don't want her running if she finds out before the investigation about what you said could be true. Is there anything else you need to say before I assume that's all I need to know to move forward with the case for Alexander zehetti?" He asked hoping this was the worst of what was happening in that family. What Cynthia said was disturbing and very concerning.
" There is one more thing." Cynthia said as she remembered the two woman that was disposed of in the very back of the zehetti lands . Two woman that surprisingly never was reported missing at all.
" Go ahead ." He said as he took a deep breaths as he really didn't want to hear anymore.
" When Mrs. Regina came home with Alexander from the hospital Ryder Bruno and Roger Evenburg well had some house guest over. She wasn't pleased and she beat both of them to death. I was there to witness that too. She drug the two bodies to the back of the property and buried . I'm not sure where they are at exactly I just know they are there. She got mad that the true father wasn't there to see the birth of his son and she took it out on those two woman they brought home from the bar." Said Cynthia as she watched Mr. Andrews face grow pale and began to sweat.
" What the hell. She is. She is. " He stuttered not being able to find the words as he thought it .
" Dangerous." Replied Cynthia as she knew that was the word he was looking for. Cynthia saw all Regina's crimes and misdeeds and she wasn't afraid to tell them either. When her daughter was found and Regina denied her leave all respect and loyalty went out the window over her lack of remorse for not letting Cynthia mourn her daughter property. Not allowing her to attend her funeral . She had to take a sick days to even go to the trial for James . Where she saw Regina sitting behind that monster supporting him the entire time.
" Regina Toosley was also an arrangement made by the Zehetii's as her family was in debt to the Zehetii's for a lot of money.if Mr. Alexander happened to be Mr. Gregory's child instead of Roger Evenburg's then she was going to wipe out the entire zehetti fortune to settle her parents debts. She had motive besides the child to get rid of Mr. Gregory and clean out his bank accounts. She was going to rob mr. Gregory before she messed up with baby Alexander . I'm just grateful the Mr. Gregory didn't like to see his wife and best friend together with a child. All Mr. Gregory wanted was a child of his ." Said Cynthia putting the nail into Regina's coffin per say.
It made her mad that she sat behind James as his support his friend all the while he was the reason for her dear Liliana's death. He left her under those floor boards until she suffocated to death. Cynthia was not only doing it from Gregory's family,but her own family as well . She was going to spill all the secrets for revenge for mr. Gregory and for her Liliana.
Mr. Anders took a deep breath as he picked up the phone and called a colleague of his to his office. The Anders law firm specialized in wills and inheritance cases with property laws ,but criminal law was not his forte. What Cynthia told him this definitely was their Domaine.
" Are you willing to testify or give an account or statement to all the things you mentioned to me today?" He asked as he hoped she wasn't pulling his chain with such high crime claims.
" Tell me where and when? " Replied Cynthia as Mr. Ander mind went everywhere at once from Cynthia's statement. This made him wonder what all went on in the zehetti house that he didn't know. A knock came on the door and a woman came in tall leggy blonde wearing all white.
" Madeline. Thank you for coming so soon to see me. I do appreciate it." Said Mr. Anders as him and Madeline Molusky had been friends for the longest time and she always had been his toughest adviser on criminal side of the law.
" Anytime. How can I be of assistance, Anders?" She said as she noticed the older lady sitting in the chair in front of her now as she took a look around the room.
" Madeline this is Cynthia Watson. She has some information about Regina zehetti that you might be interested in knowing." He explained as the two women shook hands in acknowledgment.
" Watson . Yes I remember you were in connection to the Barry case. " Stated Madeline Molusky.
" Yes ma'am. I remember you as well. Thank you for helping me with the recovery of my Liliana. We truly appreciated all you did for us in that case." Said Cynthia in awe of the woman who help put James behind bars.
" Good you two know each other." Said Mr. Anders relieved to not have to do a lot of explaining in between the two women.
" I was headed to get a bite to eat perhaps we all can have a talk over a meal. You have some information about Regina zehetti you said . " Said Madeline Molusky as she opened the door for the other two to follow her out.
Meanwhile Bethany was at the ultrasound appointment with Axel as she was five months pregnant and even though she didn't want to know the gender Axel did. After the incident of Sunny and him in the gym working out issues .Axel didn't make sunny go back to ballet class . He mentioned what happened to Bethany and she became very upset with that studios polices on handling conflict. She agreed sunny shouldn't return to the studio.
Sunny instead took up gymnastics and more time at the gym. She split two days a week at the gym and two days a week doing gymnastics. Sunny was a natural at flipping and tumbling. With Axel's combined training at home and Paul's shadow fighting with her she was gentle and soft as she leaped and landed and combined acrobatics with her fighting style.
Caden had also found his footing as he took to the gym more now that he was old enough to seriously train with his uncle. He was still to young to compete but he did watch his uncle in a few fights and he made it a mission to be like his uncle .
Bethany felt the familiar cold jelly on her stomach as she looked at her the screen. The twins were growing bigger and some features were beginning to form as the technician moved the camera to get a better position of the genitals of the fetuses. Bethany watched the small heartbeats as they were almost in sync with her own heart beat rhythm.
" There it is . One of each a two for one special." Said the technician as clicks from pictures were taken of each baby as they made measurements. To Bethany it was all surreal to her like she was in a room but couldn't focus on the conversation. She was married with two kids a boy and a girl and now she was having a boy and a girl.
Axel sat with joy in his heart to know he was getting a son and a daughter and felt his life was complete. But in the back of his mind he wondered if this was how his father felt when he knew he was having one of each. If he felt nervous and excited then scared and protective. All these things all occupying his thoughts and influencing his life.
He remembered growing up with a twin . It was like he had his best friend in his sister. A constant play mate and no one understood him quite like her even when they got older the bond was magnetic. At that moment he really missed Avery . He wished she could have been joyous and celebrating the news.
