All You Wish For

Chapter 24

"Look, your work is done. Why don't you go home or wherever you are from?" George said to Kahil at the police station.

"I'm not moving from here. You're the one that should leave. Haven't you caused enough trouble?"

"I have more rights to be here than you."

"Really? And why is that?"

"Because after this is over, Delilah and I are getting married."

"Wow, she's quick. That's something for sure." Kahil said but received a punch in the face from George.

"Oh, great. Just what we need." Nigel said, walking towards them with Maria. "The last thing we need right now is you two fighting."

"He isn't here, right?" Maria asked, scared.

"We haven't seen him." George said, sitting back down watching as Kahil walked to the front

desk. "Now, what is he doing?"

"Leave him alone. I don't want trouble." Nigel said, sitting down next to him. He looked older. "What do you know?"

"They won't tell us." He said without taking his eyes off Kahil that walked towards them.

"I'm going in to see her." Kahil told Nigel.

"Why are they letting you go see her?" George asked furiously.

"I told them I was her lawyer." He said following the policeman.

"Lawyer?" George asked, looking at Nigel.

"He practices law in Italy." Nigel answered.

"Great."

"Hi." Kahil said entering Delilah's cell. "Nice place, comfy?"

"Very funny. What are you doing here? I thought I wasn't allowed to have any visitors."

"That's true, you can't have any visitors. I told them I was your lawyer."

"A lawyer, you? Right."

"There's a lot of things you don't know, Delilah. Anyway, your uncle is out there. He doesn't look good."

"I wish I could see him and hug him."

"For now you can't. But, I'll tell him you are okay and that you love him very much."

"Thank you. Ahh." She exclaimed, holding her stomach.

"What's wrong?" He asked worriedly, assisting her.

"It's okay. It was just a bit of pain, it passed." She said sitting on the bed.

"I'm the father, right?"

"Yes, Kahil."

"Well, I guess when you get out of here, you have it all planned with George."

"I don't think so."

"Don't tell me you are also playing with him?"

"I never played with anyone, Kahil. I love..."

"Mr. Kirtpatricks." The guard interrupted. "Your time is over. Please, step out and let Mr. Dayton come in." He said while Steve appeared smiling at them.

"I was told my client couldn't have any visitors. Why is he here?" Kahil asked furiously.

"He wishes to see her and speak to her, to see if she confesses where the kid is. So, please, step outside."

Kahil looked one last time at Delilah, she looked terrified. "I'll be near." He whispered and stepped out.

Steve walked in and waited for the guard to walk away. "How could you do this?" He asked furiously. "I trusted you. And what did you do? You ran away with my best friend and my son. And what's worse? I found you with your ex-lover right now!" He spatted at her. "I know where Tommys is."

"Steve, please, don't hurt him. You know I'll do anything for him"

"Anything?"

"Anything!"

"Okay, I'll remove the charges. You'll come with me and we'll find a way to get rid of this baby." He said, grabbing her stomach.

"No, I won't do that."

"Didn't I tell you that the next time I saw you and Kahil together you would kiss that baby good bye?"

"Steve, I'm six months pregnant. I can't have an abortion."

Steve began punching her. Kahil appeared with the guards when she was already unconscious and he was about to kick her on her stomach. The guards tried to hold him, but he ran away.

"Mrs. Dayton, you're free to go." A policeman told her while she hugged Kahil.

"I'm free! But how?" She asked, confused.

"We received an anonymous confession. We also have evidence that your husband killed Julie Dayton and threatened to kill his son." The policeman explained.

When they came out, George ran towards her and pulled her away from Kahil's arm and kissed her. Kahil watched them, then turned towards Nigel and shook his hand. "I should go. I don't have anything else to do here." He said without taking his eyes off Delilah.

She pushed George away. "Kahil! Wait." She caught up with him. "I want to thank you for being there for me. Also for saving our baby's life. If you hadn't come in time with the guards, he could've killed the baby."

"You welcome, now, why don't you leave me alone? It hurts me to see you with another man. I won't bother you again. Just make sure to contact me when the baby is born, I will be there for my son or daughter. Good bye, my lady." He said, kissing her hand and leaving.

"Should we leave?" George asked, walking towards her. "Tommy is at Nigel's house."

"Yes, let's go." She said sobbing.

"Bitch, you told the police!" Steve said to Elizabeth in her room.

"Get out of this house. You have enough money now. Go away and never come back." She yelled.

"I won't leave without killing Delilah. I won't let her be happy. Never!"

"Just leave." He took a gun out of his back pocket and shot, then left out the window.
