"Grego!" Ellie's angelic tone sweetly sweeps across the walls of my ears.
No letter missed my eyes or my ears. A cold but refreshing chill runs down my throat and spine, my heart throbbing with ecstasy.
"So he is the father?" My curiosity howls, a euphoric glee manoeuvring its way through the curiosity, but I block it in my throat.
Ellie's eyes are pointed straight forward, avoiding mine and my mother's as she speaks.
"Yes!" She mutters, her head hunching down.
Everything stands still as I breathe in this new fresh aura. It's a mixture of peace and joy. So tranquil and refreshing.
"How so? The IVF?" I thought I was basking in glee, until my worries made their way out of my lips.
Yes, what about that? If Grego is the father, it means he got her pregnant during that period they were going around the back and forths of the IVF process. So, what happened to that IVF thing?
"It failed, and I did not want to disappoint Jerol."
What a blast explanation, right? Justifiable. Cut me the fuck off!
"You did not want to disappointed Jerol or you and Grego had your own plans from the beginning?" I implore.
She keeps quiet, and I heave out gusts of fury. Her silence speaks volumes. She is guilty as charged. So the love she claimed to have for him was all lie. She was fooling him?
"Why?" That was my mother who asked because me, I feel like strangling this bitch to death.
Speaking of betrayal and insolence and ridiculous guts, huh! How could she? She didn't want to break his heart my sore ass!
"Listen, mother." She starts, summoning our attention. Mother is as curious as I am for the truth. "Blame it all on me, okay? I agreed to help Grego with this without even thinking of the consequences. I knew it was wrong from the start but I was in love, and I was willing to do anything for love. I didn't know Jerol was going to fall in love with me. Believe me, I regret doing this to me."
"Regret? What will your regrets do now, Ellie? Do you know how guilty Jerol felt after what you did? You lied about getting pregnant and about the miscarriage too, and you had the bravery, the balls to show your disgusting face to him again after everything and try to fool him once more in a scheme to ruin him? How could you? How can you? What sort of human being are you to toy with someone's feelings like that?" I am nearly yelling, and Mother had to stand up to try to calm me down, while this rotten bitch bows down.
"You are so disgusting you bitch! You are the most rotten whore I have ever met! How can you do that to Jerol knowing how much a baby meant to him, huh?" I yell again, flaming with detest for this bitch, and pity for Jerol. Poor thing! If only he knew the kind of a heartless bitch he went insane for! This will tear him into pieces.
"Tessa, calm down, please!" Mother pleads.
"I am sorry, okay! I can't bear this anymore! I can not do this anymore that's why I am revealing the truth. I am so tired of this." Ellie speaks, almost faking tears.
Faking, yes! Why didn't she feel tired of this disgusting conspiracy and lies a long time ago? Tired? She is tired? From when exactly?
"Last I checked, you were still so rigid to go on with your evil schemes. So when did you suddenly grow a conscience and a heart, huh? When did you miraculously realize that you can't fucking do this anymore, bitch? Just now? When all the damage is done? Just now when you realized that Jerol is no longer the same man you fooled months ago, huh?" I howl.
She dries her tears, looking at me now.
"Ever since I saw Jerol when I returned. I saw him happy, and I did not want to ruin that for him, but on the other hand, I had promises to fulfil to the man I love. Grego is not willing to let this go. But when my baby's life was put on the line, that served as a wake-up call for me. I realized how important this baby is. Nothing is important to me more than this baby. So now, I am doing the right thing for the sake of my baby." He rants.
"And you think everything will be alright in a snap just because you thought of your baby? What will your confession fix now? Wait, so if the life of your baby was not prone to danger you would have continued fooling us?" I squeal.
"I don't know about that, but I know about now Tessa. My baby needs peace. Everyone needs peace. That is why I am quitting this game." She rants again.
"Well, thank you for your help which is entirely worthless like your pathetic self because the damaged has been done already, but at least come clean and tell us why you guys were doing this." I spit.
"I'm sorry, but that is not necessary. I still respect Grego despite his fallouts. I love him so much to expose his plans. If anything will ever come to light, I would let him do it himself. I am sorry, but that is how much I love him. Even if this becomes a police case, I will not say anything."
The nerve!
Wow! What a love, right? She betrayed Jerol so cruelly without even caring, but she can not expose the evil plans of her great love, Grego! Wow! Pathetic! She is just...
"I hope that the man you are willing to die for would be willing to do the same for you too." I shoot, yearning for a fresh air because it feels so suffocating in here.
Before walking out, I remember something. The last thing I will ask about this whole issue.
"I won't ask how you managed to get my mother involved in this because I know for a fact that evil attracts evil. I won't even ask why she is doing this because I know she has been out to wreck havoc on me ever since I was born. What I want to know is how much you guys have promised her. Why did you even need her on board while you had such a strong weapon?" I implore.
I mean, the fake pregnancy was enough!
"Your...your mother? Your mother is... Involved?" You should see Mrs McCall's face right now.
If shock was a person...
