Being his wife

Chapter Seven

Gina walked into the mansion and everywhere was quiet.
Her heart slammed against her chest. Seth had told her he had the securities, now where are they?

She unlocked the door and hurried to his study.
"Seth?!", she called out but heard nothing. She walked in and some books were knocked down, the desk drawers were pulled out. She gasped thinking of the worst that could've happened.

She left the door open and speed walked through the corridor towards their room. Immediately she reached for the door, it opened and Montserrat was standing there. Gina stared at her, confused for awhile.
"Montserrat?",
"Gina!",
Gina stared at her for awhile trying to think of one thing at a time. She pushed past her,
"Where's Seth?",
"Gina-",
"Oh my God", she said and rushed to Seth lying half naked on bed with his head bandaged.
"What happened?", she asked gently touching the bandage.
"He's fine",
"Don't tell me that!", Gina spat, annoyed and heated up,
"Let's talk in the study", she whispered and Gina touched Seth's head again, covered him and followed Montserrat to the study.

"What the hell happened?",
"I don't know, I came in to drop some files and he was lying on the floor with a wound on his head, like somebody hit him", she told her as they walked into the study,
"What?!", She said and she shrugged,
"And you didn't think to call the police?!", She said reaching for her phone,
"No", she grabbed Gina's hand,
"You know he won't like that",
"What?",
"Seth wouldn't like it if you call the police, I think he's figuring something out",
"What are you telling me, look what happened and you're telling me he's trying to figure something out?",
"You don't trust him? You know it could be someone from the family, he wouldn't want to act recklessly",
"What the hell is wrong with this people, what is wrong with your fxcking family?!",
"Has this happened before?",
"Yea..I mean no..I don know!", she answered and rubbed her eyes, she hasn't even take a sip of water since morning.
"Do you think its really from the family?",
"Who else do you think would dare to put my family  in danger?",
"Who do you have in mind?", Montserrat asked and waited while Gina helped herself sit down.
"I don't know, I don't even know any other member of your family or what the heck they want",Gina said  hitting her hand on the desk.

Montserrat went and squatted before her,
"What if I tell you that I know who or why?", she whispered, Gina looked down at her,
"What do you mean? Who the fuck is it?!", Montserrat stood up and took a few steps away from her,
"This might not make sense but I have this feeling that Tricia is still alive", she said with a convincing voice and watched for Gina's reaction. She begged in her mind for Gina not to think she's crazy.

Gina felt goosebumps, not from Tricia actually being alive alone but what she could do.
"You're not making sense", she said rubbing her arms,
"Think about it!", she said rushing to Gina.
She hasn't seen this side of Montserrat before, she looked determined and oddly different from that fragile girl.

"If there's anyone who could go against you and Seth it would be her!",
"She's dead",
"Did you see her body at the funeral?",
"I didn't go",
"They told us she was shot severally and burnt and...they just covered the casket the whole fxcking time! there's a possibility",
"Let's say this is true but why is she so much against Seth, this is not only about the inheritance, is it?",
"It's all about it and you have her fxcking son", she said and Gina couldn't help but think she's crazy, the whole family.

"Seth even took her son's inheritance and he's staying with you. For all we know he might even know something",
"Omg", Gina said and stood up. She felt the goosebumps again. Joseph is a good boy but what if this is true.

But there's no way this is true. Its been more than two years!
Oh God please.
"Could someone be helping her then, if she went through all that years ago, she wouldn't survive it without help", Montserrat said, but Gina kept staring at her, she kept pacing up and down, thinking, talking
"Of course, if she was able to survive the bullets and the fire, someone helped her. And am not sure about this, but there's one person that could be helping her, someone with money and power", she said approaching Gina,
"Who?",
"Kate", she finally got her,
"What?",
"You know Kate, Kate Moore", she said sounding as if she doesn't believe herself either,
"What?", Gina scoffed in disbelief, she held her head, almost tempted to laugh,
"why..why would she-",
"Gina, if Tricia gets Seth to hand over his shares by threatening you and your kids, Seth will need Kate's help, you know what that means",
"But if Seth gets help from Kate, she'll still have to fight against Tricia", she said trying to break the chemistry Montserrat is building up and trying not to look stupid,
"They must've agreed on something! Kate dated Seth before and she'll do anything to have him. Tricia will just do the dirty job and she'll end up having Seth, she is the last person to even think good of you! Gina....she follows Seth around, I even saw her at the last trip, she's dangerous",
"What?", Gina said laughing sarcastically,
"this is crazy. Do you have evidence that all this is true or are you making this up?",
"Gina you know me, do you think I'd make this up?",
"Because...",
because you're crazy, Gina thought.
There's no way all this is true.
She hit her hands on the desk.
Hell!
