Fascination

Part 33

- Okay Anne ... I get it! Did you forget that I am a doctor? - Céline said laughing while talking to Anne by phone. - I promise I'll take care ... Your father? He is soooo happy ...
She heard a car noise coming and ran to the window. But only saw the shadow of a white car pass through the garden.

- Anne ... I'll have to hang up now ... Someone's here and Mia's off today. I'll call you later, okay? Bisous!

She heard the doorbell ring insistently. She walked quickly and ran down the stairs, almost running. She opened the door and was startled when she saw who it was.

 - Elena ?!

------------------

 René tried desperately to call home, but the phone was busy all the time. He tried for the mansion security, too, but he didn't know why the hell they didn't answer the phone.

- What the hell! - He said tapping the phone.

- By this time she should be arriving at the mansion ... I think we'd better go.

- I'll call the police and let's go there!

- Hey man ... It's gonna be all right. - He said giving him a comforting smile.

- If something happens to Céline I don't even know what I do ... I die.

- Nothing's gonna happen...

--------------------------

- What are you doing here? Céline asked impatiently.

- Aren't you going to offer me some coffee? I just want to talk ... - She said calmly.

Celine eyed her suspiciously. But she nodded and stepped back for Elena to enter. As soon as she did, the phone started ringing. But Céline ignored it. She really wanted to know what had brought this woman to the mansion.

- Céline I want to tell you some things. I didn't come here to scream or fight, any of that.

- I dont have nothing to talk to you.

- I will be quick.

Elena looked around for any servants, but saw no one.

- Well, I'm listening. - Céline said.

They were both standing in the middle of the room. One facing the other. Elena looked at Céline's belly. It made her have an almost uncontrollable hatred. But she continued to show calm.

- All my youth I spent trying to marry René ... - She said walking slowly around the room.

Céline watched her every step.

- Then Anne-Renée arrived and took him from me ...

- Did you know Anne's mother?

- Yes! - she said turning around and giggling nervously. - She took my place ...- she said with a lost look. The eyes full of tears. - But we were friends you know ...

- Friends? René never ...

- Of course he wouldn't tell you! It was supposed to be me in your place!

- Elena ... I never wanted to take anyone's place ... René and I ... It happened, you know ...

- I fought for him. I did everything for him. And then you came ...- she was looking at her, but she didn't seem to see her.

She seemed out of body. Céline started to get scared. She began to walk slowly backwards.

- I won't lose him again ... Not at all!

- Calm down, Elena ...

Elena began to walk slowly toward her. She stopped a short distance from her.

- Then came the opportunity to get rid of her ...

Céline didn't understand what she was talking about.

- What are you tal?...

- About the accident ... - she said. - She should have died there ... But she was alive.

- Did you cause the accident?

- Oh no ...- she answered with a look still lost. - I thought she would die in the first days after the accident, but it didn't happen ... That's when I thought ... It was my chance, wasn't it?" I could not lose ...

Celine began to cry silently.

- One day ... I went to visit her. She was there. Immobile. And I thought ... René deserves a real living woman.. - she broke into a devilish smile.

Celine shook her head in disbelief and shock.

- That's right. I turned off those machines.

Céline despaired. She ran her hands through her hair. Her heart was pounding. She felt like she was dizzy. She stepped back and almost fell. She leaned against the railing of the stairs where she leaned back, breathing very fast.

- You ... killed her ... Oh my God! - Celine put her hands on her mounth desperately.

Elena gave a laugh that made her shiver. - I'm a determined woman, Céline ... I know what I want. Anne took me from René. I had to get him back. SHE HAD TO DIE!

Celine shivered wildly.

- And you ...- she took a few steps back and took the bag. Céline followed her movements.

- What are you ... Elena ... - Celine despaired when she saw the gun in her hand.

- What are you going to do, Elena ...? Please, don't hurt me and my babies ...

- These babies shouldn't be there! - She screamed, pointing the gun nervously at Céline.

- For God's sake Elena ... Don't do that ... - Céline begged sobbing.

- Why not? You took me like he did Anne! ALSO DESERVES TO DIE!

- DON'T DO THAT ELENA! - It was René.

Elena turned quickly and faced him. Céline tried to escape but she stopped her by pointing the gun back at her.

- Elena ...- Jake walked in slowly and tried to convince her not to do anything. - Please ... Drop that gun ...

- Step back, Jake. - she said quietly without turning to him. - If you give one more passed I burst your brain and I kill this slut!

- Elena ...

- SHUT UP RENÉ! I'm warning you ... don't get closer!

René looked at Céline and saw her, desolate, leaning against the railing of the stairs. Their desperate glances met. He felt a big squeeze. A huge pain for not being able to protect his girl ...

- My love ...- he whispered.

She looked more than ever his girl ... scared. Helpless.

- Damn, Elena! - Jake said desperately. Elena kept staring at Céline with all the hate she could.

- If I got rid of Anne ... Did I really think I'd let you, a stupid girl take me my man?

René looked at her in astonishment.

- What are you talking about, Elena ...?

Elena smiled coldly.

- Tell him, Céline ... Tell your love how he lost his lovely wife.

Celine shook her head. She didn't want her to cause him that pain ... She was still shocked by all that.

- SAY IT! - Elena insisted aiming the gun more firmly.

- Leave her alone, Elena ...- René said.

- Your problem is with me ...

- SAY IT! - she insisted. Céline took a deep breath.

- Elena killed Anne-Renee.

- Good girl ...- Elena said softly smiling at Céline.

René didn't seem to believe it. He was stunned there. Jake approached him and touched him lightly on the shoulder.

- Calm down, René ... - He said in a whisper.

- Satisfied now ?! - Céline screamed in tears.

- Not yet, dear - she answered coldly.

Elena tilted her head slightly and smiled at her with a lost look.

- You know ... It would be very easy to kill you now ...

- Elena ... - René finally managed to speak. He stepped forward, raising his hands.

- Please ... Isn't that enough? Leave Céline alone ... She's pregnant ... Please, I'm willing for anything, but leave her ... - he begged with tears threatening to fall.

Elena turned sharply to him and aimed the gun at him. Céline despaired.

- No, Elena! Please ... Please ... - she begged for tears. But Elena continued to torture them.

- You René ... You are an ungrateful! - She swung the gun aimed at him. - I did everything ... EVERYTHING! For you to love me ... I freed you from being condemned to an invalid woman for life! Yes! Because that's what was going to happen! However you ... You didn't even look at me! - she walked closer to him always with the gun pointed.

- Elena ... Don't do that ... - Céline begged.

- SHUT UP! - she shouted without looking back. - Why René? WHY?! - she screamed out of control.

- Elena ... - he was trying to talk.

- It was supposed to be me ... I should have been carrying a child of yours! But you never gave me a chance!

She put a hand to her head, desperated, like crazy. She cried and trembled.

- Elena ... - Jake said quietly, walking slowly toward her with a raised hand. - I'll get close to you ... And you're gonna give me that gun, right?

- STOP Jake! - she shouted.

- Elena, calm down ... I won't hurt you ... You don't want to do that do you? - he said taking another step. But she fired, hitting him on the left side very close to his shoulder. Immediately he fell to the floor unconscious.

- MY GOD! - Céline shouted, her hands shaking uncontrollably.

René tried to help his friend, but Elena was irreducible.

- Leave him! - she said.

- He'll be fine, don't worry ... I didn't shoot to kill. - she laughed.

- How far is it, Elena? For God! - René said desperately.

- YOU ... ARE ... GUILTY! - she shouted.

At that time they heard a car engine noise. The police had arrived. Seconds later a police officer enters the room. They knew him. They were friends.

- Elena, drop the gun! Now! - The policeman ordered her, pointing at her a pistol.

- I can't do that... René and I have a pending. We will solve it now anyway.

Saying this she aimed the gun harder and was about to shot when she was hit in the chest. A straight shot that immediately made her stumble and fall to the floor. The policeman approached her and took her wrist.

- She's dead.

Celine let her body faint and slowly slid down the rail until she sat on the stairs. She was crying in despair. René immediately ran to her and hugged her. Calming her on his chest, he kissed her head.

- Shhhh ... Passed dear ... Now it's over. - He said.

The policeman called for help immediately. Céline and René stood there, hugging each other.

- Take me to the hospital. - she said.

After all that fear, Céline was taken to the hospital for examination. Thank God everything was fine with her and the babies. She spent a few hours being medicated and under observation. Jake had also been taken care of and was out of danger. The bullet had hit him below the collarbone. But he was fine. After all, everyone was fine.
