Chapter 68: 68
The entire Delton Villa turned in a uproar noticing the presence of Carmela. They all took to their heels wanting to stay far away from the father and daughter duo remembering the kind of scenes she caused when she returned from her school trip. The sound of her boots against the tiles made then quicken their steps as every step she took added even more tension to their heart.
"Dad" Carmela called stepping into a forbidden zone,she was aware she wasn’t ment to ever go into his room but today she was going to break all rules and even bend some in other to get her way. She looked up to find the Scientist seated of the king-size couch that faced the balcony his face facing her "Dad I have something to say" she went quite waiting for a response but got none so she continued "I’ll be getting married to Damian in the next three days and.."
"Who ever it is Damian or the son of the Dean family it’s none of my business just get the hell out of my room and never show yourself to me" he interrupted her making her scof,a slie smile suddenly appeared on her lips as she looked around the room trying to control her emotions
"You know I’ve always wanted to know if you’re truly my biological father or just a physcophat that picked I and my mother from the road side...because .. because no father would turn..bno not father no normal human being would turn their child into a lab rat and still want to kill her after achieving his fucked up results no!" She screamed with tears filled eyes talking one step after another closer to him "let’s step aside the issue of the Deans,so what is my offence? Why do you hate me so much even after being your own offspring?..
You know what never mind I don’t want to know but make sure you attend I and Damians wedding unless.."
"Unless what? You’ll kill me?" He laughed "Girl you’ll never succeed so stop laughing I’ll.." he was suddenly interrupted by Carmela’s laughter
"Oops sorry I didn’t mean to be respectful but I heard the scientist is sick and still haven’t found the source of his illness.." She laughed more gaining even more of his attention "Don’t forget I’m your daughter so forget about dying it’s time for you to pass through the same pain you made me passe through.." her words got stuck in her throat as he firecly wrapped his hand around her neck wanting to choke her but that didn’t freak her instead she laughed more with wild eyes seeing how disfigured his face was "could this be the reason you hid your face from the public? Several failed surgery attempts that led to this?" She raised an eyebrow and he subconsciously took two step away from her feelings his thoughts run haywire.
This wasn’t how he expected everything to turn out,he had dreams and goals he wanted to achieve but..
"I have the antidote of the poison but I’ll only hand it over to you after my wedding so be sure to attend unless.." she stopped by the door "Forget about having this dynasty under your control you wouldn’t even have control over your own body" she said about to take her leave but halted remember someone
"A little birdy told me that Ella is still alive.."she turned to face him once more "Dear father you should learn to do a clean job weather it is I or my stand in.
I guess you like having people seek for your down fall, what an attention seeker" She left her words hanging in the air as she rhythmically danced to the song in her head as she made her way out of the house with a plastered on her face.
"Madame where are you headed to?"
"Drop me at the mall after which deliver this to the Dean Villa" she instructed before siking into the chair.
She let out a deep sigh trying to relieve her self of the pileing stress on her shoulders. As the car speed through the road she tilted a bit to the window as she lowered the glass allowing the fresh air kiss her face. Her smile follered by a droplet of tears as she felt her chest tighten up. She was tired of acting strong but had no shoulder to cry on at the moment the car coming to a suddenly halt brought her back to the reality she found her self it.
Sudden sound of gunshots took her unaware making her flinch as she subconsciously laid flat in the car. Her mind ran far and wild trying to assimilate the situation but as much as she tried to understand the more confused she was. The gun shuts suddenly died down giving her moment to breath
"You can step out now" she heard a familiar females voice and looked out the window to find Sophie Tchiani hiding her gun behind her before helping her out of the car. "Are you sure that man is your father? Because his taste for your blood is one I don’t even see between enemies" Sophie looked at her before returning her gaze to the bodies lying before them
"I’m not his daughter.." Carmela suddenly shaked her head before looked up to her with he’s void of emotions "I am his nemesis. The wedding is in three days prepare your team while I prepare mine" she said regaining her composure
"Don’t mind me asking,but will your ex husband be there?" Sophie’s question earned her a sudden detest look from Carmela
"I hope Director Sophie isn’t catching feelings for my ex..don’t forget he’s a criminal and should be locked up.."
"Off course not Miss Dalton.."
"And except behind a criminal, he’s my trash and only I am entitled to taking out my trash.." the both shared a battling gaze before Sophie suddenly broke it off with a sarcastic laugh
"Don’t let weird thoughts come up in your head Miss Dalton, I’m only asking because who knows you might also be locked up with him after all you’re responsible for the death of the parents of your stand in " she took a few steps away from Carmela to observe her reaction but seeing no reaction from her made her chuckle
"We’ll settle all old and new scores in three days time so I hope you’re prepared" Sophie waved before climbing onto her motorcycle and zooming off.
Carmela’s tensed up for a moment and was interrupted by the vibration of her phone, without taking a look at who the caller is she placed the phone on her ear
"Hello"
"She’s awake" the caller said and a scoff escaped her lips
"Speak of the devil".
...
Second’s rolled into minutes and minutes hour’s which finally turned into days and now three weeks. Patience is one thing I definitely lack but I’ve learned with the help of my beloved who has refused to wake from her coma.
"Beloved.." I called holding her hand "Guess who’s here to meet you?" I pulled forward Cicilia who was hiding behind me "Cicilia" I smiled and I could see the confusion on the little girls face as she returned her glance from Carmela to me "I don’t know which spell you casted on her but she’s become your fan and has been wanting to meet with you and I finally fulfilled her wish today" I brought Cicilia closer still trying to maintain my smile
"Uncle" she called looking up at me "Why is aunt wrapped like a mummy? Is she sick?"I looked at her eyes and then looked away as I tried to think of something "Hmm..your aunt hasn’t been feeling too well so she decided to have a.. a skin care routine" I lied picking her up in my hand
"But that’s weird I’ve never seen someone do their skin care like that" my little smart princess responded crossing her hand above her chest
"Umm..well that’s because it’s a newly invented type,and if it works others would start doing it as well" I could see her struggle in accepting my excuse but at the end she still had to accept it
"Alright..once aunt is awake tell her I came to visit and I love her okay?" I nodded helping her have her seat in the car "Bye Uncle I love you too" she threw a flying kiss at me while I stood back watching the car speed away.
"You surely wouldn’t lack when you become a father"Zamiel took a step closer to me and I heaved a sigh.
"Is everything prepared?" I asked making my way back into the house and he nodded catching up his pace
"I can say 80% is done,her swelling are now better and even the bruises and thanks to you we’ve been able to make the situation less suspicious. Also the Vocal fold shortening operation was successful..and she can now go back" he responsed placing both his hands in his pocket
Two days after Carmela’s accidents,Ella was saved by Zamiel after Damian had tried to kill her. Carmela not responding to the treatment was one thing and being unable to catch the scientist and put an end to all his games was another,and so i approved Zamiels plan of using her as a substitute to buy time for us.
He arranged for plastic surgery to be performed on her after which she got a voice surgery to sound a bit like Carmela and I had to pretend to kidnap her to buy us time.
"When do we proceed with the plan?"
"Tonight..ask Tom to arrange for me to attend Mr. Dubois party and prepare her..also remind her I can change my mind at anytime and send her to the other word if she ruins my plan " I threatened
"A letter arrived from Tamila..and one more thing,one of the officers asked me to plead for your cooperation for the investigation,from what I heard their senior doesn’t take a liking of you" I collected the letter from him before continuing my walk not commenting on what he said.
I expected Damian to cause havoc after my conversation with Ella from the previous day but I never expected that he was going to go to the extent of killing students and as she said I was framed for it.
"Beloved your mum sent a letter"I waved taking my seat beside her. This time around,I’m going to take every chance that comes my way to put this Chapter to an end once and for all and by the time my beloved is awake it would be a new story.
...
"Madam we are done" one of the ladies applying make-up on her said before stepping aside. Taking a deep breath, Ella opened her eyes to find a different person in the mirror. She traced her hand on her face as she found it hard to believe that such a miracle was possible although it was possible she doubted it could be as perfect as this.
"This was no longer my life but the life of another, Ella is dead and I’m just a substitute for the time being" she said to herself remembering how she almost lost her life but eventually got save by Zamiel in the nick of time.
"For a moment I thought you were my little bunny" she look up to find Zamiels standing beside her "Either ways it’s time to put the plan into action. Pretending to be Carmela should not be an issue for you after all you were trained to replace her,your fear shouldn’t be messing the plan up.." he suddenly turned quite as he created some distance between them. "Always remember that you aren’t the original and no matter what a substitute can never take the place of the original. Take this as an advice or threat which ever you see it as, but remember; Nix can take away this new found life of yours if you mess up his plans but I wouldn’t.." he took a step closer to her as he came to her eye level while maintaining eye contact with her ".. I’ll peel your skin off your skeleton and watch you suffer in pain" his words helped her discover a new emotion she had never truely experienced ’fear’
"Alright Mrs Dean shall we?" He offered her his hand which she accepted trying to mask her emotions.
Among the four Alpha’s, Alpha three has always been the calmest and easy going one. He showed no trait of madness as she loves to refer to it like the other Alpha’s did and wasnt one that got involved in the affairs of the dynasty but who would have thought that he was an even bigger physcophat than the remaining three? She wonder as she took her seat beside Nix in the car.
But if all these was over,where was she to return to? Who was her family and how could she find them? We’re questions she had no answers to.
"The first number" Nix interrupts her solemn moment by handing her a phone "is my number,the others number has been saved so be sure to reach out to them if needed."we’ll be approaching Damian’s ambush in the next five minutes so be prepared" hearing that she felt a nut in her stomach it was finally time but she felt nervous unlike her. Closing her eyes taking in and letting out her breath over and over again until she sense the car stop, letting out a heavy breath,she open the bag she was caring and wrapped her scarf on her neck hiding the scar that hadn’t recover. With a acknowledging nod,she swang the door open and ran towards Damian
"Carmela!" Nix screamed watching her run into his arms and he could see Damian show off a smirk as they drove off
"Baby are you okay?" He raised her face to face his but was met with a tears filled eyes which he had never see
"Take me away"
