UNMASKED VISION

C47 The truth

" Doctor !doctor! she woke up, my wife woke up" a disheveled middle aged man ran out of the hospital ward.

The doctor quickly came and checked on the pale woman on the bed. " You are very lucky she woke up from the coma. We just need to do a few more checks. You can calm down now"

" Okay thank you very much doctor. Can she see me?"

The doctor check and nodded.  "You can rest assured."

The woman on the bed stared blankly at the white ceiling. A tear ran down her eye." Iv..y " she tried speaking but with difficulty. The nurse wet her mouth with a cotton and helped her take a sip of water.

The man too started crying. Tears filled his eyes as he embraced his wife." She is okay, Jina. Our daughter is safe. She is safe." He tenderly pat's her back with longing and dispair in his eyes.

For a whole of six years since the car accident his family has been separated.  His last hope was shuttered when he learnt that his wife was in a coma and it was uncertain whether she would ever wake up. His daughter was later on kidnapped when she turned 12 and he had no way to go. Somebody was after his life and he thought he was doomed to die. But he was saved at the last moment and today his wife finally woke up. His eyes turned even redder. It was a sad sight to see a man his age crying like a child. The strong emotions he held in for so long burst and couldn't be controlled.

Jina calmed down after hearing that her daughter was safe but she felt pain seeing her husband's appearance. " John "

" Yes, are you in pain? Are you hungry? Tell me." He remembered that she just woke up and got concerned.

" I want to see her" she choked on her words.

" Yes very soon but you have to recover and get well. You wouldn't want to worry your little princess right?" He coaxed.

She nodded and wiped her tears. " You have grown old. Your hair is all white"

" You won't dislike me? Right?"

" Silly man" she embraced him tightly.

There was a knock on the door.

" Come in"

The door opened and a man walked in with a basket of fruits.

"Jina, I heard you woke up. This is great news. I guess this is the best time to tell Ivy about everything. The girl has been anxious. How are you doing?"

" Mr Cruz"John stood up.

" Thank you very much "

...

Ivy knocked on an apartment.

A man opened  the door," how can I help you?"

" Hi, I am looking for Mr Charles Kort."

" That's me"

" Great"

" I heard you were my father's lawyer and happen to have answers to my questions"

" Who was your father?"

" John Crane"

Hearing the name Charles tried shutting the door but Ivy grabbed the handle and pushed the door open, got in and shutter the door.

" This is illegal, you are traspassing." He said angrily.

" Look, I am aware you are well versed with the law. Stop being a show off I have read many more advanced books about the law and I can guarantee who will be going to prison and for sure it's  not me. I hope you have the memory of your own crimes and what is really illegal."

The man immediately kept quiet and fear surfaced in his eyes.

" Don't worry I will only mind my own business if I am satisfied with your answer. Now why don't we start with how many people know about the will my dad made"

Charles took a deep breath and started talking.

Half an hour later Ivy walked out. Her face was cold but not as cold as her heart was at the moment. It turned out that a total of six people knew about the will. Her mom and dad, uncle and aunt, the lawyer himself and lastly Rose Collins.

There was a dispute between her dad and Rose and John wanted to change the terms but Rose disagreed. Then they parted in bad terms. A few days later the lawyer was called to make some  changes but it so happened to be on the same day the car accident happened.

Even a fool would guess the person behind it.

Speak of the devil Rose called her.

" Ivy I want to talk to you about the wedding arrangements. Please come to my house I'll be waiting for you"

Ivy hung up and got in her car and drove back to Vance's house.

She took his laptop that was on the desk and hacked into the Collins mansion. As expected, a cautious woman like Rose would have cameras all over her house. To keep everything under her control. Even her children's bedroom.

Currently she sat down in the leaving room. Rodof sat opposite her. They both looked to be plotting something very interesting as they drank champagne and had smiles.

" I called her over. All we have to do is wait for her and our plan will work" she smiled sinisterly.

" Haha Rose you never change. Don't worry she can forget about leaving this place once she gets in. I will certainly help you  control her after all this is not the first time you have touched her" Rodof said.

She sneered." She made me lose face yesterday and she will pay for it today. She was clearly intimidated by you. She will be obedient. Don't you think? Hahaha"

" Haha. Right"

" Where is my son?" Rodof asked.

Ivy raised her eyebrows.

" Jason? He is at the company right now. I heard he has everything under control. He managed to win everyone's heart with his performance"

" As expected of my son" Rodof said proudly.

" Tsk tsk" Ivy shook her head. She closed the laptop and stood up. These people don't know what's coming their way. Since they enjoy plotting against other people's lives she would gladly give them a taste of their own medicine.

She texted Vance before leaving the mansion. A taxi waiting for her outside parked. A few minutes later a ugly woman walked out of the mansion.

The taxi driver was surprised. Such an ugly person can live in a beautiful mansion? Why doesn't she pay for plastic surgery. Well rich people's lives are interesting.

" Where to ?"

"The Collins mansion"

" Got it"

He felt a low pressure in the car and he smartly kept quiet. He was an experienced driver and knew how to judge situations.

...

" We have reached your destination Ms."

She paid and got down" keep the change"

Because something is about to change.
