His Deadly Wife (A Roman Godfrey/Hemlock Grove fanfic) book 3

Chapter 14

Alyse had just finished her ice cream, when she felt someone standing in front of her table. Alyse was about to speak up, only to be cut off by the person who was standing in front of her, speaking up first.

"Hey. Is this a bad time to speak with you," Alyse heard the person ask, causing her to glare up at the last person she expected to see in Hemlock Grove.

"What the hell are you doing back here? We had a damn deal," Alyse said while standing up. "I gave you the money to bail your mother out of jail, which I have no doubt in my mind that you used it to get her out. And in return of me giving you that bail money to get Lynda out. In return of not expecting you to pay back the money I gave you, you were to never return back to Hemlock Grove again. If you're going back on your word, then you better have the money I lent you to bail your mother out. And I want to be paid back in full, no payment plans. Do you have the money on you to pay me back," Alyse snapped at Peter.

"Look, I know that I went back on my word. I can't even begin to apologize for it. I feel like a complete ass for doing it, but something kept telling me to come back. You're not safe here in Hemlock Grove. If you continue to reside here, then you're putting yourself and your unborn child at risk," Peter tried to explain.

"You don't give a damn about myself or my unborn child. You're just using that as an excuse to keep me distracted from the money you owe me. Now if you don't have the money to pay me back in full right now, you have three options to choose from. A) you can pack all your things up and get a move on and leave Hemlock Grove for good. B) you can find a damn job and work your hands to the bone to get every cent back and pay me back by a certain time period. Or C) you can pay your debt with your life. Any of those options work great for me, but if I had to choose, I would say my favorite is option C, because I know that you won't settle for the first two options I presented you," Alyse growled out.

"Look I know you're really pissed off at me for breaking the deal that we made. I promise you that I will make it up to you some way somehow. But I need you to just set that anger aside and listen to me. If I didn't worry about you and your child's wellbeing, then I wouldn't have broken our deal, and risked pissing you off like this. But I fear that there is something dangerous lurking around the corner," Peter tried to explain.

"What the hell are you talking about? The only danger that I have to worry about is Olivia spreading lies about how I'm a terrible daughter in-law. That is the only danger I face. Besides, I've already proven that Olivia is not that much of a threat to me. I'm sure you have seen how she ran away with her tail between her legs," Alyse said in a smug tone.

"You don't get it do you? Olivia doesn't just run away. She always has something planned out for those who are a threat to her. And she sees you as a threat. You took her only son away from her. There is no doubt in my mind that Olivia is either planning on killing you, or somehow getting in Roman's head, convincing him that you're sneaking around behind his back, which will then set him off in a rage. He may even get to the point where he will justify killing you if it means that you don't make him look like an idiot in front of the rest of the people in Hemlock Grove," Peter explained.

"Everyone who knows the Godfrey's know that they are the ones who go around cheating and lying about their affairs. I'm technically not a Godfrey by blood. And if I have any say in it, my child will be nothing like its father. The only decent Godfreys that were born, were Letha and Shelley. They were nothing like their cheating parents," Alyse snapped.

"Do you honestly believe that Roman will allow you to keep him from seeing his child? Because I can tell you right now, that that won't happen. He will find a way to gain custody of that child, if you remain here and give birth to it in Hemlock Grove. Roman practically owns everything here, so if you even try to run with that baby, he will have no problem getting it back. Should you go and give birth to that child here, he will have easy access to ripping it away from you, saying that you're an unfit mother and he will throw you in a psych ward for the remainder of your days. Do you honestly want to risk your child growing up without you in its life," Peter asked.
