Chapter 145 - You Can't Do That!
Rachel brushed of her daughter's hands and stood with her hands folded in front of her. "Nothing, I didn't mean anything by it. My point is you do not deserve this lifestyle." Rachel glared at April.
April felt Dean's hands on her shoulders giving her comfort. She had started trembling whether it was from anger or sadness she wasn't sure. With Rachel giving her father tablets that had started to affect his body and make him feel unwell she had suspected something may have happened to her mother.
Joseph stood up and walked to April's side, he didn't like to see her like this. He thought that the problems in the Green family would be solved by showing that April had their support but it seemed to be a lot darker than he had originally imagined.
Dean held April as she shook, he glared at the two women and announced, "If you have anything to do with the death of April's mother Kathleen say it now and I will be lenient. But if I find out later that you had something to do with her death and I will find out what happened. There will be no mercy."
April was lost for words and clenched her hands into fists, the pain she felt from her sharp fingernails piercing her palms kept her mind focused as she felt sick at the sight of Rachel and Lucy that stood in front of her. One word came to mind, evil. These people were pure evil.
"Mother maybe it's time to go home?" Questioned Lucy. She held her mother's sleeve and gave her a slight tug.
Rachel realised that the words had slipped out too quickly and she had made a huge mistake. She looked at Dean but his gaze was intimidating so she looked to Martin. Martin's glare she was used to by now so she simply said, "We will go now and return another day. I am feeling a bit unwell and may have said something I didn't mean."
Joseph spoke up as he saw Rachel take a small step back "I think you meant everything you said. But before you go answer my grandson's question." Joseph frowned and continued to glare at the women standing in front of him.
"I miss spoke. It was just all came out the wrong way. Lucy and I will leave you for today." Lucy then backed out of the kitchen. She felt a trickle of sweat roll down her brow from the sudden accusations and threats.
"Wait," Martin said as he walked towards Lucy and Rachel.
The pair stopped and Rachel composed herself as she turned around and smiled at Martin.
April's eyes fell on her father as he walked towards Rachel and Lucy. If he left with them now she knew she could never forgive him.
Rachel was anxious as Martin approached her, he held out his hand and she questioned him, "What is it?"
"Key," Martin said that was all he could say. He had a lump in his throat after hearing Kathleen's name.
Rachel looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Martin sighed and looked straight at Rachel as he said, "Rachel and Lucy give me your keys. You can find somewhere else to go. You are no longer welcome in my home."
Rachel grabbed her keys from her pocket and unceremoniously flung them at Martin.
The keys hit his chest and Tom bent down to pick them up for him. Martin nodded to thank him, he was finding standing hard at this point.
Lucy started to cry as she took out her keys, she walked towards Martin and held them out to him. "But you're my daddy."
"No, I am not, its time your mother took you to meet your biological father," Martin announced as he took the offered keys from Lucy's small hands. He felt guilty for how he had treated his own daughter and not Lucy.
Rachel's stomach flipped at the mere mention of Lucy's biological father, he was a nobody. She had a fling with a few men at the time Lucy was conceived, she couldn't possibly tell her daughter that she thought.
Just as the mother daughter pair were walking out Martin called out to Rachel, "Remember to send me your new address of where you're staying."
Rachel halted her footsteps again and turned smugly and asked "And why should I inform you of that? You are making me and your daughter homeless!"
"It's not your home and she is not my daughter. I will need your new address for the divorce papers." Martin added coldly.
Rachel stuttered "You can't be serious? Over a few words that I misspoke today?"
Martin sighed and answered honestly "No it's after a lot of thought. You should have known this was coming, after all, we have never truly been husband and wife so the divorce will be quick enough."
"You can't do this! You can't be serious?" Rachel yelled at Martin. Why had all this happened today, she looked to April and glared at her. It was all her fault she thought.
"I can and I am," Martin said as he moved to stand in front of April to block Rachel's icy stare.
Rachel sneered and announced, "Well… be ready to make yourself homeless as well, because as your wife I will get half of everything you own."
Martin sighed again at Rachel's greedy nature and answered her "That's where you are wrong. I have signed over my business and am home to Dean here. So he owns everything as of now I have nothing for you to take."
Rachel stood with her mouth gaping open, she couldn't believe all that had happened today. "No no no… You can't do that."
"It's true," Dean announced and everyone turned to see his earnest expression.
April took it all in, when did her father and Dean meet and why didn't he tell her she thought.
Dean leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I'll fill you in later I promise."
