Ch. 30

YVONNE

Immediately I saw Sergius storm out of the labor room and Cyprus also followed. The looks on their faces were not as good as expected, and Sergius stormed out, I immediately ran to meet Sergius as I held him.

“How is everything? How is it going? Has she put to bed?”

“Just leave me alone, Yvonne. I don't want to talk to you, and I don't want to talk to anybody. I don't want to frustrate my anger at you,” he said to me as I looked at him, shocked.

“So this is really it? This is how you treat me now? Sir, it is what you promised me. Just because Fiona is boring you does not mean that you can just treat me like trash. This was never what you promised me. And remember, I'm your wife, not Fiona. The fact that she's giving you an heir does not mean that she's your wife. I still have the right to ask you questions, and besides, I'm just concerned about her. Why can't you just answer the fucking dumb question? Why do you have to vent your anger at me? At least I'm not the one who put her in that situation!”

I shouted back at him, frustration burning all over me as he just swung my arm away from his shoulders and walked away without even uttering any words to me. I felt really angry and frustrated as I felt the tears welling up in my eyes already. I immediately walked out of there and to my own personal things.

Then an elder followed me, who was also my ally.

“You caused all this. You are the cause of all of this. Everything that is happening right now is all your fault, and you are to blame for all of this. I warned you. Yes, I warned you a lot of times that we have to eliminate Fiona as she is a threat. But you kept on saying that she is not a threat because she was in the nuts. Now can you see what you have caused?”

I tried to reason with you, telling you that I have a bad feeling about this Fiona girl and that she would later pose as a threat to me and Sergius's relationship. But you wouldn't listen. You wouldn’t just listen to anything I say.

I shouted at him as I poured out all my emotions. I did not mind crying in front of him as I was down already. I could not hold it in anymore as I kept on crying and crying.

Then I felt him hold my shoulder.

“I'm sorry. I know that you actually warned me. Don't worry, I'll make everything right. Just tell me what to do, and I promise I will do everything in my power to make it right. You were right in the first place. Fiona has actually turned out to pose a threat to us, and this time I'll make sure to do things right. I don't really like seeing those tears on your face.”

“Right. And I don't like seeing you in pain. Seeing you like this has really broken me. I promise you now that I will do everything in my power, everything to make sure that Fiona is out of yours and Sergius's life. Don't worry, I will pay. One of our mates, when everybody's asleep at night, would take out the child from the nursery, and that is even if the child is born. Let's just hope and pray that that child does not come out alive. But if that child comes out alive, then I will do everything in my power. I'll make sure that he does not live to see the daylight.”

He said to me as I just looked up at him. His words gave me assurance as Sergius's sad face flashed in my mind. I had seen the way he was down just because of Fiona. I've never seen Sergius that sad, sad, and scared for anybody before.

He never had that kind of expression on his face. He always had this expressionless emotion that made me think that maybe he does not have any feelings. But seeing him like that just because of Fiona made me furious, and it made me down because even towards me he had never given off that kind of emotion before, and now he's showing it towards Fiona.

No, Fiona can't take my place. Fiona can't take Sergius away from me, and I will make sure to do everything in my power to keep Sergius close to me. I looked at the elder right in front of me and nodded at him as I wiped away my tears.

“Please keep to your promise.”

That was the last thing I said to him before he stood up and walked out.

“Everything will be alright by morning, just get some rest.”

He said to me before closing the door behind him. Then immediately I stood up as I straightened up my dress. I wiped the tears from my face as I touched up my makeup a bit to hide my swollen eyes. I do not want anybody thinking that I was actually crying.

No, nobody can actually find that out. Nobody can know that I am weak. I can't really show my weakness in front of anybody because sometimes your weaknesses can be used against you. I thought to myself as I straightened my hair and put it in shape before opening my door and trying to walk out.

Then I met the priest right in front of my door.

“What are you doing here?”

I said to him as he looked at me. He was giving me this warning look that made me feel some kind of aura.

“What is this man about to say now?”

I thought to myself as he looked me up and down and gave me a double take.

“Anything that you are planning to do, you'd better stop it and you'd better put an end to your plan because none of it is going to work. That child that is about to be born is not an ordinary child.”
