THE WRONG BRIDE

chapter twenty

                            Six months later.
                         
                                Sophia ♥️
Am in my room looking at my pregnant self in the mirror.
Time has gone so first and sooner or later I'll be able to hold my son or daughter.
I don't know how long I'll get to hold her or him but only then will I know.
I have been avoiding Miguel and the time we get to see each other I try to stay away from him unless we are talking about the baby.
Life is shitty that way,if I could go back and see my nineteen old me- probably never let this happen to me.
I have lost everything I once had and what I have now isn't mine either.

A pawn at miguel game.
A savour at my sister's lies.

*****
Everything is set and we are all going to get what we deserve,' cheers to us

Cheers to us tonia?

We look great together.

"So what are you hinting at Tonia?are you thinking about us...."

No.....no ....no......don't confuse sympathy with love......you focus on the task at hand.

And what's the plan for now?

Just wait but I think I'll have to pay a visit to Sophia.

Why ......don't you think that's a bit risky?

I know what am doing,watch how I turn the tables in our favour.

You surely have what it takes to be my woman.

If I were you,I would stop dreaming.

But I like my reality better.

Sure you do,I would be a fool if I listened to that.

                     *********
                 Miguel.
"Why haven't you found Antonia's whereabouts?"

We are trying boss.

I don't care whether you are trying Mateo,there is so much at stake.

She seems to have vanished.

Don't you dare say those words again,do whatever you have to  but by the end of this week's I need some information.

Okay boss.

Get to work.

Once they leave I take a beer and drink form the bottle.
Someone knocks at the door.

"You can come in?"

Carmen walks in carry a tray of food and places it on the table.

"Take it away am not hungry?"

You should eat some.

Okay,has Sophia eaten.

Yes I send something up.

You can take your leave.

Before I go am sorry for interfering but she is good for you,try to make things right and forget your revenge.

"Thank for your advice,I'll put it into mind.

Okay excuse me.

Carmen walks out and I can't bring myself to eat anything.
She knows so much that she lets on.
Have known her all my life and she a good presence in my life.
I think about Sophia the woman am forcing her to accept all this.
A good thing opposite me,the man who destroys everything he touches.
My father was right am no better than him but am why kinder than he will ever be.
He is a curse that needs to be eliminated because if not his hatred will spread and we are all going to sink with him.
I will have to end him.
Maybe life will be good if I end the bad and Sophia will be saved after everything.
I walk upto her room and find her standing at the window.
I look at this woman I destroyed and the only good thing have done is create that child in her womb.
