Chapter 230: FRUSTATED TRUTH
Inside the living room where the hot conversation between both the mother in law and the daughter in law was taking place, Erika sat in her wheelchair as she stared at each of them with wide eyes and parted lips. Never in this lifetime did she imagine that those partners in crime could fight.
’From what I’ve heard, I think Felicia is betraying Mary and wants to send her to jail,Erika concluded. From the look of Mary’s face, it was clear that the old woman wasn’t expecting the sudden change of events at all. ’Seeing them fight suddenly gives me an idea,’ Erika thought to herself as a smirk found its way on her lips but she decided to conceit her arrival and simply watch them some more.
"You have the nerve to threaten me like that Felicia. If I go back to jail, do you think that I will let you stay here and be at peace while I rot in there?" Mary questioned Felicia. If she was going to go back to jail, she was going to take Felicia back with her because it was the both of them that escaped from there together.
"It seems to be that you aren’t hearing what I’m saying, Mary. But what can I say," Felicia shrugged. "You are already old so it’s understandable that you cannot hear what I’m saying. But seriously Mary, look around. No one wants you here. I’m sure that Juliet doesn’t want you here but what can the girl do? You are still her mother."
Sensing that the conversation was going to take a while before either of them would end, Erika decided to butt in to make it hotter than it already was. She would love these two to fight some more. They deserved to fight anyway, she thought to herself.
"Mary, can you hear what your special daughter-in-law is saying to you? To think that you disregarded me just so you could have her as your daughter-in-law, now look at what happened. She is calling you names."
Shocked to hear Erika’s voice, Felicia turned to look outside only to see that Viper and Erika weren’t outside anymore but Erika was inside and Viper wasn’t with her. Where could he be? Felicia wondered.
"It’s a pity that you didn’t see that news about Felicia’s affairs that spread like wildfire. So many naked pictures of her were everywhere and more of when she was sleeping with those married men. If Felicia had not been in prison, I’m sure that she might have become an even bigger celebrity by now or maybe a porn star. But wait a second," said Erika as she placed a finger on her chin with a scrunched face as she tried to think of something. "What if that grandson of yours isn’t in fact your grandson?"
As soon as Mary heard Erika, she turned to face Felicia with a raised eyebrow, "Is Jake not Adrian’s son?
"It’s obvious that she will say that he’s Adrian’s son just because he looks like Adrian. But a lot of kids look like different people who aren’t even blood-related to them," Erika cuts in even before Felicia can reply. "She wouldn’t tell you the truth."
"Bitch will you stop talking?" Felicia said to Erika. "You think I don’t know what you are trying to do huh? You are trying to confuse Mary butte me tell you tell you this Erika, Jake is Adrian’s son."
"Says the woman who has a history of sleeping with several men," Erika retorted. She planned to make them argue more and she wouldn’t leave until that happens.
"You’d better shut up. I was infertile but after taking some herbs, I made sure to only sleep with Adrian, that’s how I know that Jake is indeed Adrian’s son," Felicia spat out uncontrollably. It was only after those words left her mouth did she understood what she had just revealed.
"You were once infertile, Felicia?" Mary questioned Felicia. First, she learned that her daughter-in-law was a slut and now, she had also learned that Felicia was once infertile.
Felicia bit her lips as if to scold herself for revealing something like that. She had never planned to expose this kind of secret before but after getting frustrated by Erika, she revealed it unknowingly. Turning to glare at Erika who looked straight into her eyes as if the glare didn’t have any kind of effect on her, she responded,
"I had several abortions in the past so...." Before Felicia could finish, she felt a hard slap landing on her face, making her cheeks sting.
Felicia stared at Mary in shock. Mary had never once laid her hands on her so this act stunned her.
"How dare you?" Felicia demanded.
"People like you shouldn’t get to live. How could you get so many abortions to the extent that you ended up being infertile?" Mary questioned as she stared at Felicia disdainfully, the kind of look that she would always give Erika but now it was directed to Erika.
Onthe other hand, Erika couldn’t be any more happier. She was able to make Felicia spill out a secret that she didn’t even know existed and the aftermath satisfied her a lot. ’Not only is Felicia a slut but she was also once a barren woman,’ Erika concluded in her thoughts.
"You have no right to talk to me like that. You are also a murderer yourself so don’t you try to preach to me Mary," Felicia retorted. She never saw what she didn’t as a mistake which only made Mary feel even more angry at her.
Raising her hand to attempt slapping Felicia again, the latter caught it swiftly.
"You were only able to hit me because I wasn’t expecting it but don’t think I will stand here and watch you slap me again Mary, it ain’t happening," Felicia said through gritted teeth.
Erika who had been watching the both of them argue for so long resisted the urge to clap for them.
