After I Do (Knight #2) (On Hold)

Chapter 37

Rebecca's P.O.V 

I told the driver to turn around. I called Marcus to tell him about my change in plans. After what happened, we decided to at least update each other every once in a while. The kidnapping really took a toll on us and I feared that we would never come back from it. Marcus has been trying to be the strong one but it was evident that he was suffering as much as I was. Marcus went make to work two weeks ago, he didn't really want to, he was willing to say home a couple more weeks for support but I needed him gone. I think the time apart during the day will do us both a lot of good and I voiced my opinion to him and he agreed. 

We have been driving for ten minutes now, I didn't know how long until we reached there and I didn't want to ask. I thought about this moment for weeks and what I would do once I'm face to face with her. I wanted to kill her if I was, to be honest, hoping that with her last breath, the pain I felt would go away. I know that wasn't true but I still took comfort in the thought. 

"Are you okay?" James asked some days he would personally stay with me for Marcus' peace of mind. It was so interesting how his demeanor at work was different from when he's around friends and family. This was the third time he has said something to me during my trip.

"Y...Yes I am, still surprised that she asked me to come to see her " 

" That is understandable but I think this is the right choice, racing the thing that causes you pain is one of the first steps in healing," he said and I knew he was right, if I wanted to truly move forward I need to confront my past and that being Madison. 

"I'm not really ready to face her because they thought of seeing her is like reliving that moment" I confessed honestly 

"It's okay that you're not ready. It shows how brave you are that even though this is a scary moment and you don't know what will happen but you're still brave enough to do it anyway" he said pulling me into a side hug, I accepted the hugs, grateful for the comfort I was receiving.

I was sitting in the room waiting for them to carry Madison to her both, I didn't like being here I bit. I looked around me, there were not a lot of people here quite a few though. It was sad seeing kids and other family members talk to their loved ones through glass windows. It made me wonder if they ever thought about the effect it would have on their family before they committed these crimes. 

I turned around just in time to see the guards escorting Madison into the cube. She looked bad, based on what Marcus told me she grew up spoilt and pampered, so it didn't look like she was striving in there and she shouldn't after what she did. 

She sat down and took up the phone

"Still living I see" she jeered

 " I see you didn't carry Marcus with you. He must have you and the child under tight protection now" she chuckled

"Where is the child, afraid that I'll take him away. Don't worry I'm locked up " she smiled 

Why the hell was she asking about my dead child, acting as if she didn't know that she killed him. Was she trying to get me rilled up because she succeeded.  

"You killed him, you psychotic bitch " I shouted, the area that was once buzzing with noise was now silent. I looked around and saw that people were looking at me but I didn't care. I was angry and I had a right to be, she took my child away from me and this will be the only time I'll get to vent my anger on the person that caused my pain. 

"You killed him," I said quieter this time, she feigned surprise at the news but I knew better. 

"At least I got rid of one of them" she whispered to herself but because she still had the payphone in hand, so I heard her. 

"At least you got rid of one of us, do you hear yourself. You killed someone" I said angrily 

"The wrong one " she continued  " Your child wasn't the one to die, you were. I could live with your bastard child, I planned on raising it myself with Marcus but you ruined everything and I had to act fast. Do I regret it, no, because I made you suffer anyway " 

I honestly didn't know how to respond 

(I don't have one, lol😂)

"But that is not the reason for your visit, I wanted to shed light on  something very important" she smirked 

"What could you possibly say that would be worth my time" 

"Marcus has a daughter " 

**********

I was frozen

Did I hear her right

A daughter 

"Is this some sick joke to you " 

"Partly, but now that I am locked up. I need to know that my daughter is taken care of and who better to do that than her father " 

"Do you think any of us are stupid enough to believe that your child is Marcus'" 

"DNA doesn't lie, does it. Tomorrow a package will arrive at your home, it will contain everything you need to know about her and where to find her. And don't even think about dismissing this information because if my daughter isn't with Marcus in two weeks, I'll just have to tell him myself. Marcus wouldn't appreciate you not telling him about his only child " she made sure to put emphasis on her last few words 

I still didn't believe her, she was just playing with me. Marcus said they were only friends, did he lie? 

She must have seen the look of confusion on my face because she answered

"Least just say that it was all thanks to a little breakup. I thought that I would near get to be with him but she broke his heart and back then Marcus drank away the pain and I was there to comfort him. A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant but I knew that I had to play my cards right but as you can see I took too long to make my move but at least I always had a piece of him near me " 

I felt sick, how could he not mention this. I stood up. I didn't want to listen to what she had to say anymore. 

She mouthed to me 

"Remember what I said. Two weeks "
