Paradise Bound

Chapter 60

NOW PLAYING AS ISAAC

I hurry outside.... Trying to calm myself down and get some air.

(How the fuck could Diane do something like this? I knew she was capable of alot of shit..... But this.... This is just full on fucking evil!)

I get to my car and hop in. I know exactly where I'm going but I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

The journey doesn't take long and I soon find myself parked outside Diane's House.

I slowly get out of the car and make my way up to the front door..

As I press the doorbell my heart starts racing. I'm filled with anger and hatred but I know I have to try to control this rage somehow.

The door finally opens and I see her, staring back at me as a look of surprise crosses her face.

"Isaac?"

"We need to talk.... Now!"

"Oh.... Of course, come on in."

She steps aside and I make my way into the kitchen.

"Would you like a coffee or tea?"

"Cut the crap Diane. I'm not here to drink a cup of fucking coffee with you."

"Okay.... Then why are you here Isaac?"

"Why the fuck did you lie to me about Leo?"

Her eyes widen as she tries to pretend to look shocked by my question but I'm certainly not falling for that act..... Not anymore.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the part where you told me he was my son?"

"I didn't lie..... He is your son."

I clench my hands into fists as the anger courses through my veins.

"Stop fucking lying.... I have a paternity test that says otherwise!! I'm not his father!"

She looks back at me in surprise.

"But..... I was full sure he was yours Isaac.... I swear."

"You are so full of shit. This was just some fucked up plan of yours at a last attempt to win me back. When are you going to get it through your thick head that I hate your guts? I would never in a million years have anything to do with you."

"Isaac please, just hear me out. I promise you I really did think Leo was yours, I mean the dates added up but..... I must have made a mistake....."

"No Diane, it's me who made the mistake, the mistake of ever listening to your sick and twisted lies. You stay the fuck out of our lives. I'm warning you."

"Isaac, please. I never meant to hurt you."

"You know what, whoever Leo's new parents are, he'll be ten thousand times better off than if he was with his psycho of a mother."

I go to turn and walk away when she calls me back.

"Isacc.... Can't you see how much I love you...."

I turn around to face her, my head feels like it's going to explode in anger.

"You don't know the meaning of the word! I'm giving you one final warning before I go to the police and make an official complaint."

"What? And what the hell are you going to say?"

"Oh don't you worry I'll have plenty to say. Don't you think for one second that I don't remember the time you hurt Tessa and almost harmed our unborn child and trust me the list is endless. You will go down so take this warning very seriously and I can assure you it's definitely you're final warning."

She looks back at me shocked and speechless.

I storm out of her house and slam the door behind me.

As I sit in the car I reach my shaking hands up to the steering wheel and grip it tightly between my fingers.

I finally manage to calm myself down and start the car, pulling away from Diane's House.

NOW PLAYING AS TESSA

I have been pacing up and down my office for the last hour worrying about Isaac.

(Where the hell did he go? I just want to know that he's okay. He's taking the news really hard.... Although I can't exactly blame him. What Diane done.... It's just pure evil.)

I'm just about to head for the bar when my office door opens and Isaac walks in.... Looking completely drained.

"Isaac.... Are you okay? I was so worried about you."

I hurry over to him and reach my hands up his suit jacket. He looks down at me with such sadness in his eyes it pains me.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, I didn't mean to worry you, but there was something I needed to take care of."

"I'm guessing that something had to do with Diane?"

Isaac let's out a long sigh.

"Yes, I went to see her."

My eyes widen in surprise.

"Oh....."

"I had to. Otherwise she would never leave us alone."

"What makes you think she will start to leave us alone now?"

"Because I told her I would go to the police if she came anywhere near us again. Her thinking Leo was mine was her clutching at the last straw..... She knows now, there's nothing she can do or say to change how I feel."

"I see.....I hope you're right."

"I really think I am about this......are you okay?"

"Yes.... I mean I think. I don't know. It's been a bit of an emotional roller-coaster if I'm being honest and I have to confess something."

"And what's that?"

"I feel so bad and shit that when you told me Leo wasn't yours..... I felt somewhat relieved.... Does that make me a bad person?"

Isaac smiles softly at me as his hands grip my hips, pulling me in close to his chest.

"You could never be a bad person Tessa. If I'm being totally honest I felt relieved..... I mean after the initial anger started to subside. It had nothing to do with me not wanting another child it was the joy of not being anyway connected to that evil woman."

"That's the same Isaac, I would have taken him in like my own but I have to admit I was very worried about the prospect of having her in our lives for ever."

"Well baby.... That's not going to happen ever. It's you and I to the end and of course all the kids that we will have."

"Oh really now? Who says I want to have any more?"

"Oh I think we both know you're dying to have another one!!"

"Hmmm, I wouldn't say dying but.... You never know, I'm sure I could be convinced."

"I love you Tessa, and I'm sorry you had to be dragged through all of this mess with me."

"Don't worry about it. I think I have came to the realization that we are invincible and could probably get through just about anything that life could throw at us.......although, I'd much rather if we didn't have to test that theory out any time soon."

Isaac chuckles as he pull me against his chest, kissing the top of my head.

I feel so overwhelmed with the relief and happiness I feel right now. I can finally start to enjoy my life again with Isaac and our two beautiful children. Our future finally looks bright.
