Love and war

Confession?

Valencias POV

Goodbyes hurt the most when you know you'll never see them again

We are all sat at the reception right now. Me, sayah, neo, ben, azura and Carlos came to sit next to me. Everyone was talking and now is the perfect time.

I stood up and hit my knife against my glass softly to get everyone's attention. The conversations died down and everyone stared at me.

"I would like to say a few words" "Valencia what are you doing?" Sayah whisper shouted.

"Congratulations to cleopatra and Jacob knight, i hope you get an eternity of happiness." I said with a fake smile.

"Thanks val-" i cut cleo off.

"But, i found some fascinating information." Cleo' face paled.

"So cleo do you mind telling me what you were doing on 4th June 2017?" I asked. "I can't possibly remember" she said shaking her head. "Well let me remind you, that day my parents and 4 brothers died in a house fire. I already know everyone here know about it and how the Russians started it."

"Valencia what are you getting at?" Constance spoke up. "Well, when i was away i was doing some research."

"Yes we all know you went to London so what." Cleo spat.

I grinned.

"Cleo, please do tell me how you knew i was in London?" I asked.

"I- y-you said that." She stuttered.

"Cleo, if you're trying to lie, stuttering gives it away so easily." I smiled.

"Anyways, cleo already knew i was in london because she sent zemos men to go spy on me."
"Valencia what are you accusing cleo of?" Ambramo asked slowly.

"Working with or for the Russians." I said bluntly.

Everyone gasped.

"How could you accuse her of such things?!" Jacob spat.

"I have proof. It's not an accusation. I'm confronting her." I said with a straight face.

"What sort of proof?" Azura asked.

"Phone calls, emails, actual pictures." I motioned for Carlos to turn the projector on. "Thanks hun" i thanked whilst getting the remote.

I clicked it and a picture of zemo and cleo popped up running away from my burning house where my family were killed.

"Oh my god, this is amazing." Francesco said sipping his wine.

"This is just the first bit of proof that you were somewhat involved." I clicked to the next slide.

"Oh this ones my favourite!" I said playing the audio.

"Get it done! Normandy is in the 4th suv. Crash it and make sure there are no survivors" cleos voice rang through the building.

"How could you!" Giorgio shouted outraged. Cleo was now crying.

"Oh that's not even the best bit!" I said clicking the next slide.

A picture of cleo and zemos wife, visha popped up. They were out eating dinner together.
"This was taken minutes before my house was set on fire. And the restaurant they were at was 20 minutes from my house." I said staring at cleo.

"And lastly we have this video." I said pressing play.

The video showed cleo taking mavka out of the house and handing her over to zemo.

I turned the projector off.

"You knew what zemo was going to do with mavka and you still handed her over." I said oddly calm.
"I just want to know why"

"I'm sorry Carlos! I really am, i needed Valencia out of the picture." She cried.

"You bitch!" Ben shouted.

"Why? Why did you do all of that? Huh?!" I screamed. "Ive hated you ever since you killed Jayden!" She shouted at me.

Pardon i never killed Jayden

"I never killed Jayden! What the fuck do you mean?!" I shouted. "Yes you did! Don't lie about it now." She growled.

"Enough!" Neo roared. "Valencia never killed Jayden" neo shouted at cleo. He looked at ambramo.

"Cleo, Valencia didn't kill Jayden. I did." Ambramo spoke. "How could you!" She shouted. "He was a mole! Working for the Russians!" He shouted.

"Oh my god." I realised. Everyone looked at me.

"But cleo already knew that. She knew he was a mole because she let him in." I said.

Cleo went silent.

"Ive got mostly everything i need to know. There's just one more thing." "Carlos take your sister to my warehouse, ill deal with her later." I walked out of the reception and got into Luca's car. "Well done Valencia" he grinned at me and i smiled back.
