What Lies Beyond Chapter 55
At the Quartermaine mansion, Gabriella was shocked by AJ and Lila Rae's news. "So mother is an alcoholic?" she asked. "Yes, I wanted to protect you," Lila Rae said as she took her sister's hands. "You have known since I was a baby, but now I'm a big girl, and I can handle the truth." "It's been ages since mother had a drink," Lila Rae said. "I was scared this would happen because mother learned the truth about me—that I'm not her biological daughter. Do you think that pushed her?" "Yes, and what happened with Kim?" AJ asked as Tracy and Cecil entered. "Why are you both talking about this and looking worried?" Tracy asked. "Skye started drinking again," AJ replied. "No, I need to be there for my daughter," Tracy said. "Me too. We both have to help her," Cecil added. "Yes," Tracy agreed as Gabriella, feeling tired, sat down. "Gabriella, did you have dinner?" Tracy asked. "No, Grandmother, not yet," Gabriella replied. "You should have something and take your medicine," Tracy advised. "I will," Gabriella responded. "Let's go check on Skye," Cecil said. Tracy and Cecil then went upstairs.
At Ava's cabin, she was hiding inside, sitting on the couch reading a magazine. When there was a knock on the door, she got up and grabbed her gun. "Ava, it's Lorenzo. Open up," Lorenzo said. Ava opened the door while holding her gun. "Why are you here?" she asked. "I was going to ask you the same thing. I find it interesting that on the day my daughter was hit by a car, you came up here! Did you hit my daughter with your car?" Lorenzo yelled. "No, I came up here to rest and get away from you! I still want to be the only mob boss in town," Ava said. "I thought you wanted us to work together," Lorenzo stated. "I try, but now I want the power for myself," Ava said.
At Laura's hotel, Nina and Sasha were having dinner together. "I'm glad you're back, and we're working at Crimson together," Nina said. "Me too. I know you'd like to work at it as I do," she added. "Yes, I do," Sasha replied. "Any man in your life?" Nina asked. "No, what about you?" Sasha asked. "No, but I'm ready for love," Nina said. "Maybe we'll both find it," Sasha responded.
