Chereads / UNVEILING HER LIFE / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Romina walks slowly to the door wanting the door and meets Elena who was dressed to go out.

Romina: Elena, wait.

Elena turns and glares at Romina.

Romina: I missed you so much and wow, your daughters are beautiful.

Elena looked at her in shock as realisation dawned on her.

Elena: When did we last meet?

Romina: On my wedding of course. You didn't even come to meet me after that. I can't quite remember the face of my groom but I'm sure it's Robert.

Elena guides Romina back into the room and helps her sit.

Elena: I missed you so much sis, even though I was against the marriage.

Romina hugs Elena and cries silently wishing to take back her harsh words and her marriage to Robert.

Ava arrives at Aguas Industrial Limit and walks to her sister's cabin.

Ava: Why did you call sis?

Ivy: I want to talk to you about something. Take a seat and relax.

Ava sits on the couch and Ivy joins her.

Ivy: We need to get back to our baby.

Ava: Are you sure?

Ivy: Absolutely but no one, not even mom should know about it. I need to dig out some secrets which I think mom knows about.

Ava: Yh, I've noticed how troubled she looks nowadays.

Ivy: To know the truth, we have to go back to where it all started.

Diego stops his horse and looks at Aiya who was oogling at him.

Diego: What?

Aiya: Diego, why have you turned so cold towards me? You love me remember?

Diego: I loved you Aiya but I don't anymore. You showed me your true colors after you intentionally spread the news of your pregnancy and how you made your way into the mansion.

Aiya: I did it for our son. I didn't want our son growing up like a homeless brat.

Diego just speeds of with his horse not wanting to listen to anything she said.

Elena: Romina, did Robert do this to you?

Romina: Yes. He used to be sweet and caring but as Ivy arrived, he started hurting me. I don't know why so I've decided to confront him and this over with.

Elena: I don't think Ivy will like that.

Romina: We don't have to tell her. Please, I won't be long.

Elena: Okay but I'm coming with you.

Elena stands up to go but receives a message from an anonymous number.

"I KNOW YOUR LITTLE SECRET."

Elena tenses up but composes herself and helps Romina change into baggy clothes, which she knew Romina will be comfortable in.

Diego: Mom, they are not cooperating. I think we have to get the Aguas sisters to join hands with us.

Arnaldo: Diego will deal with Ivy whiles I will deal with Ava.

Diego: Ivy seems like a sweet girl.

Arnaldo: I wouldn't be so sure about that. She punched Daniella Mondragon in the face and she bleed. Ivy didn't even act like she cared and the tone she used for Daniella was just wow!!m

Diego: I can pull it off.

Emelia smiles seeing her son's bonding but she shudders recalling memories.

Emelia: Rahul, how are you planning to deal with Aiya?

Rahul: It's a surprise!!!

Ivy enters the house and flashes of memories blind her vision.

Ana: Are you okay?

Ivy: I fell like I've lived her and I get memory flashes.

Ana: How is that possible? Mom said we never came here before and that dad died here.

Ivy: We need to tape pieces together.

As they were wondering in the half burnt house, Ivy discovers a half burnt picture. Turning to Ana, they both stare at it.

Ivy: Who are these people?

Ana: I don't really know.

Ana turns to go but stops.

Ana: How old are you Ivy?

Ivy: Twenty. Why?

Ana: I never knew I had a sister till I was six. You won't remember but when mom brought you home she was very happy. She just told me that you are my sister and I just accepted it because I finally had someone to play with. I found it strange though that you were two years older than me and I knew mom wouldn't want a baby after two years of giving birth to one.

Ivy: Who am I?

Ana: We'll get to the bottom of it real soon. We will unveil your life.

Robert tries to touch Romina but she punches him right in the face.

Romina: You are a moron. Even if Ivy won't do it. I'll make sure you rot in jail.

Robert: I'm Robert Mondragon, I'm rich so nothing can be done.

Romina: I am Romina Aguas and I swear on my deceased father's name that you'll pay for everything.

Robert laughs evilly as Romina turns and punches him drawing blood from his nose.

Romina: This is for my daughter.

Elena is shocked but guides Romina into the car.

Ivy and Ana arrive at the mansion to meet it empty with just the maids working here and there. The door creaks open and in came Romina and Elena.

Ivy: Where the fuck were you guys and you better not lie to me.

Elena: Language young lady. We just went to the Mondragon mansion.

Ivy: Why did you go there? I thought I made myself clear that I don't want you or aunt to go there.

Romina: Let's sit, I want to tell you something.

Ivy sighs and sits along with the rest.

Romina: I had a daughter. We were both involved in the accident that made me deaf when she was just eight. I never found her but Robert told me she died. I didn't believe him so I hired an investigator who died that day after accepting my offer.

Ivy: Sorry Aunty. What can we do to help?

Romina: I still want to know what actually happened to her. Can you help?

Ana: What are families for? We're gonna make sure we get to the bottom of this.

Ivy: There are hearing aids in your room, use them for the meantime. When we go back home, I'm gonna schedule an appointment with a doctor.

Romina nods and moves to her room.

Elena: Ivy...

Ivy: I'm so disappointed in you mom.
