Chapter 352 - Three Hundred And Fifty-three: Loose Ends (1/2)
The third point of view:
Her son was safe, that was all that mattered to Cecil. The woman was currently sitting on the edge of the bed in her room deep in thought.
How was she going to get out of this shit? Sure, Emerald had promised to help her but how? She couldn't keep hiding forever, In fact, staying indoors for the past twelve hours was already suffocating. Moreover, Fernandez wasn't the type to give up. Though she didn't want to say it out, she was a bit scared for Emerald since he was going to face Fernandez - he played dirty.
She was still speaking when her phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number but she picked up, having an inkling who was calling.
”Hello?”
”My Cecil,”
Shivers ran down her spine but not out of pleasure but disgust as she heard that voice and caption. That little son of a biscuit. He must be obsessed with her else he wouldn't be this disturbed.
”I wonder how you look in the mirror every day because you disgust me to death Fernandez. Hence, don't you dare call me that again for the rest of your pathetic short life,” she cursed him.
”We were good together. So good together,” his voice was a whisper; so sensual she could have sworn he was trying to seduce her. Or maybe, he was indeed trying to do so.
”I still remember our first night together,” He went on, ”You must think of me as heartless for what I did but I'm a man who was in love with you, and trust me when I say, I still love you, Cecil,”
”Is this a new tactic?” She said to him, unaffected by his pathetic act of temptation, ”For me to lower my guard?”
”What do you think?” he asked.
”I think you're desperate and retarded enough to attempt that,” She told him straightforwardly.
There was a short silence and then he began to laugh. Fernandez cackled so hard Cecil began to imagine a coven of witches having a wild celebration.
”You've matured,” was all he said.
”If this is what you're calling me for, to chit chat, then I must say this has been a huge waste of my time and saliva. Goodbye Fernandez,” She was about to end the call when he said.
”Give me Pedro. The boy has a much brighter future with me, ”
There was a cold glint in her eyes, ”I've told you, Fernandez, you can get him in hell,”
”Don't make this any harder than it is, Cecil. Trust me, It might get bloody later so tell me now I'm still being magnanimous. Where are you hiding my son?”
Cecil snorted, she was right. The man thought she was still that naive little youth who had fallen for his sugary words. Well, news flash, she has grown - according to him - experience was a very good teacher - big fat thanks to him.
”You must be so desperate for him,” It was her turn to laugh, ”How does it feel to be on the receiving end. If I could remember clearly, I was the one begging desperately like this years ago,”
He was amused, ”So this is revenge then?”
”No,” she said, ”This is just karma paying you back in your own coins. Because if this were revenge, I would have made sure Pedro had no chance of surviving in my womb,”
She took a deep breath, ”A whore can't birth your son,” She used the same words he had used on her years back, ”Go and look for your son”
”Cecil!”
”Fernandez!” Cecil boomed back at him with the same intensity. She refused to be used and threatened as he did to her in the past. This Cecil was not the same woman!
”If you need your son, let's take it to the court of law,”
”Y-you.....”
”Of course, you're not confident of winning,” she sneered, ”Don't you dare try to threaten me again Fernandez because I wouldn't hesitate to fight -”
The phone was suddenly snatched from her grip and smashed to the wall to her utmost shock.
”What do you think you're doing?!” Cecil screamed at Emerald as she pulled at her hair; She wanted to punch him badly right now.
