The Queen Bee

37. Christie

"Look Christie, we promised to take good care of Xandy. We loved him like he's our own."Miranda said to me while I was crying. Duh. I was only crying to show Seb that I have some compassion for the kid. I can't love the kid who ruined my relationship with Seb.

Miranda and Kenneth were granted with Xander's adoption four months ago. They live at the upstate since then, but then Xander needed to undergo a surgery, which took place at Riverside General Hospital where his surgeon insisted to be done.

The night of the party at Red was the only day that I can corner Seb, he can't let Xander down no matter what and I thought my plan was a success. I've been acting so down since that night when Miranda told us that baby Xander had to undergo a surgery. It was perfect for my plan. Seb even comforted me.

After all the paper works and all the materials for operation were ready, Xander had undergo the surgery. Seb and I supported Miranda and Kenneth all through out and after five days, Xander can go and continue the medication at home.

"Can you stay over at my place Seb? You know, I still feeling down and I'd like to have some company."I offered Seb the moment Miranda, Kenneth and Xander went home.

Seb looked at me like I was gone insane. It hurts to see how he drastically change since that night.

"I don't have time for your bullshit. I was only with you now because of Xander, don't get your hopes up because there will be never be an us anymore."He gruffly said before leaving me behind.

"Can't you at least give me a ride?"I run behind him, too much desperate to be with him. We were at the parking area of the hospital.

He abruptly stop walking, I even thought he'll reconsider but then he pulled out a few dollar bills and throw it all in my face.

"Get a cab."

"Seb, please. Give me another chance. "I beg. My tears were flowing and I was ready to get down on my knees if I needed to be.

He looked at me dead in the eyes.

"You lied to me for more than a year Tina. You took one year of my life! You used Xander to maneuver my life! And you made Ian kill himself because of your lying!"

"That was because I'd like you to be Xander's father! Because I love you Seb! Ian's not even your real cousin!"

"You made me believed that Xander was mine for 13 months Tina! While I thought I was his father, his real father, my own cousin was dying on depression!  He killed himself when he can't take everything anymore! If he didn't mailed his letter to me with the original copy of Xander's, his and my DNA test I wouldn't know anything about your evil scheme! Now that Xander was already in good hands, please just stop following me around. I'm cutting all the ties with you. Just stop." Then he left.

A sob escaped from my mouth, my knees wobbled slightly and I found myself on the cemented parking area.

I failed my father.

He'd be very disappointed.

He liked for me to have Seb as a husband, so that the future of the family would be secured and our company won't continue to bankrupt but I failed him completely.

I did everything to have Seb. I even made Ian fall for me and I convinced him with the idea of giving me a child and make Seb believed it was his. Ian agreed. I need the child to convince Seb to marry me. And I promised to see him even after the marriage.

Ian was a college guy. I wasn't aware before that he was just adopted by Seb's relative. I convinced him to stay silent, and in return, I'll do anything he wants in bed. That was why I didn't understand why he killed himself after 13 months of pretending not knowing me or having a child with me.

The bastard secretly get a hair from Xander and Seb and pretended to be Seb to consent the DNA testing. When he got the result, he blackmailed me. The guy has a serious problem because I won't be blackmailed into something I thought I have a right hand.

What could be gone wrong? They were both King. I was so sure that no matter what, the DNA result that he insisted on using to blackmailed me, was not an issue at all. I mean, they were both King. His blood was Seb's blood and automatically Xander's blood.

But the asshole killed himself after sending Seb his letter telling the truth about Xander, attached with the DNA test result.

Xander's not Seb's blood. It was all Ian. The bastard was only adopted by Seb's relative. I feel so stupid.

Looking back at where Seb has been, I remembered calling Drew to asked the status of our plan.

"Hello." He answered in a bored voice. I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Did you do it?"

"What?"

"Did you uploaded the photos?"

I heard him sighed before grunting, saying yes. A victorious smile formed from my lips. Maybe, just maybe, I can still have Seb.

Short chapter to clarify things!
