I shouldn't have said it. Isabella aims a gun at my head.
" I'm I not allowed to say my last words? You plan to take my life, at least give me my rights." I say casually checking my nails. I knew deep down Isabella would never pull the trigger.
" I don't have time for this," Amelia says and I snicker.
"But you have the time to do what? Blackmail your son?" I ask. She sends a glare my way.
" You don't know a thing about me." She says through gritted teeth.
Oooh, I'm scared.. ooh, please.
" I don't have to know you are one shady ass bitch. What, you think I didn't know? " I say laughing lazily.
" Know what? " Amelia asks.
" That you killed grandpa? " I say tears threatening to fall.
" See that's why I don't like you, Kaylee. Always into other people's business. I told you to leave Theo alone, you were happy wherever you were. But what did Smith do? He put his nose where it wasn't supposed to, he had me followed and had found out that I was seeing Connor behind bars, that was a wrong move. I worked so hard to give my children better lives and I couldn't let you or Smith ruin it. "
" You see, when we had you kidnapped back then, Amelia talked to me she proposed that she turns ourselves in. So I called the cops, gave them the address. When they arrived they arrested us, but you fell right into our trap and pardoned Amelia. She convinced Theo to come to see me in jail since I was carrying his baby. Theo is easily convinced as you know he did exactly that. So when he got me out of prison, I decided to fool him into thinking I changed only to rile you up. You pushed me, I nearly got a miscarriage but I didn't instead you got kicked out of the house. " Isabella cuts in.
" When Theo felt sorry for what he did to you, he wanted to leave Isabella and go back to you. That's when I gave Isabella the evidence that linked me to Samantha. She had told him that she'd go to the feds with the evidence. He had to choose between you and me. Of course, he chose me, am his mother after all. Now that you are back, I don't know anymore. I had to make a new plan, that's where Connor came in. After you die here tonight, Connor gets everything. Your colored babies will live in the streets together with your Grandma. Eating off-street food and for Theo, he'd forget that you ever existed." Amelia smirks wickedly.
" You are many things, Amelia. I didn't think you are a racist. " I feigning shock and hurt only to let out a laugh.
"Shoot her already!" Amelia exclaims.
"Go on Isabella. Shoot me and end all your troubles. Your puppeteer has already spoken. Do it. " I say before I hear the doors opening and one of the men running in, his eyes nearly falling out of their sockets.
"Ma'am they are h-" He doesn't finish. One second he's talking, another one he's on the floor, blood oozing out of his body.
The police fill the room, all of them aiming guns at the two suspects.
"Drop the gun. Now!" One of the armed police shouts making Isabella jump. She puts the gun down, kicking it over to the cops.
They are then handcuffed. Looking at Connor as he opens the door, pulling me into a big hug.
"You betrayed us!" Amelia exclaims.
"You killed my uncle and expected me to be just cool with it? You are dumber than I thought. Take them away. " Connor says waving the cops away.
Theo comes into the room and Connor smiles at me before excusing himself. They give each other a bro-hug or whatever they call it. Theo walks into the cell, looking around his face twisting into a disgusted one. He turns to look at me, his eyes never leaving mine as he stalks towards me. He pulls me into a hug, his chin resting on top of my head.
"How about we get out of here?" Theo asks and I nod. He carries me into his arms, after giving my statement, they allow us to leave.
Theo takes me home, I rush into my room. Taking a shower and making sure I also wash my hair. Turning off the shower, I pick two towels off the rail. Tying my head with one and drying my body with the other one. Taking my lotion, I oil my body before putting on my pink short robe. Getting back to my room I almost scream when I find Theo seated on my bed, staring at the picture I took of the twins when they were born.
" Do you think they'll like me? I missed all their firsts, I wasn't even there when you gave birth, or when they said their first words." Theo expresses. His voice low.
Walking over to him, standing between his legs, he pulls me down so I'm seated on his lap.
" They'll like you. You are their father plus it's not healthy to dwell in the past. Think about the future, you may have been absent in some of their first but they are so many. Like the first day to school, periods, boyfriend-"
" They are not allowed to have boyfriends until they are at least forty," Theo says giving me a serious look. I hit him playfully, laughing.
" That's too late. Alessia has a boyfriend already. He even kissed her." I say walking to my closet. In one second he's next to me.
" Who is the boy? Do I know him? What is his name? Where does he live? Who are his parents? How does he look like? Wh-" Theo rambles walking in circles.
" Would you come down? His name is Sam and his mother is Brianna. She's a nice woman I can tell, and for Sam, he's an adorable kid with a toothy smile that melted my heart. And you, won't do anything to him." I say glaring at him. Knowing Theo he would start threatening the poor boy.
"Brianna as in short and a pixie cut?" Theo asks smiling and I nod hesitantly.
" Yes, a cute pixie cut," I say looking through my clothes. I settle on black sweatpants and a white tank top.
"You're jealous."
