Ivy gasped as she stared at her mother.
M..mum! She called with tears in her eyes.
Oh shut up! Do you remember me as your mom the day you ratted me out to the cops?!!! She yelled and Ivy bit her lips.
I had to mum! She was your sister. How could...; She was cut shut by a resounding slap from her mum.
She's not my sister and she will never be!!! She yelled and Ivy cried.
But I thought you were dead. Do you know how worried I and Lily was when we heard you were dead?? Do you??!! She asked and Regina chuckled.
You? Worried?? That's a lie. If you were worried I was dead, you wouldn't have ratted me out; she said and Ivy cried more.
I told you countless times that I had to tell the cops about what you did. You killed an innocent child for crying out loud. You ordered for your best friend to be raped mum!! Do you expect me to keep that from her and the cops?? Do you??!! She yelled and Regina sighed.
Get her out of here!! I don't want her to witness what I'll do to Arnaldo!!; She said and two men went to carry her.
Let go of me!!! Don't touch Arnaldo!!! Let me go!!! She yelled while struggling to free herself but it was all in vain. They untied her before she was thrown into a room and they locked the door. She ran to the door and started banging it while crying.
Open the door please!!! Don't touch Arnaldo mum!!! Mum!!!! She yelled but got no answer. She stopped and cleaned her tears.
She looked around for any weapon and found a wooden stick on the ground. She also hid a knife in her pocket but she doesn't want to use it yet. She removed her hairpin from her hair and went to open the door. She did it quietly and it opened. She smiled before carrying the wooden stick. She put the pin on her hair before opening the door slowly. She didn't see anybody so she started walking fast. She heard a gun shot and she stopped on her tracks.
Noo!! It can't be!! She thought before running to the scene. She saw Naomi and Dexter pointing a gun at Raymond and ivy stayed still. Ivy looked around for Arnaldo and saw him pointing a gun at her mum. She was bleeding from her arm and Ivybwas relieved when it wasn't Arnaldo who got shot.
Ivy ran to Arnaldo and hugged him tightly. He used one hand to hug her back while the other hand was still pointing at Regina. Ivy broke the hug and faced her mum immediately.
You'll finally pay for what you did mum!! She said and the door flew open revealing the cops. Some of Raymond's men ran into the room and was about shooting but the cops were quick enough to gun them down.
Raymond and Regina Cruz!! You're under arrest for the kidnapping of Arnaldo and his friends. You have the right to remain silent as everything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law; he said and Raymond started crying immediately.
One thing that I won't accept in this life is to be locked up in jail; she said and pulled the gun out of Arnaldo's hand. She place a gun at the side of her head and tears escaped her eyes.
Mum!! Please don't. Think of Lily, she thinks you're dead when you're not. Don't kill yourself mum. We still love you even after everything you did mum.. please don't leave us mum!! Please; she cried and Regina closed her eyes before opening it again.
I can't go to jail Ivy! I just can't imagine myself there. I love you and Lily so much but I just can't go to jail. Please understand me and forgive me for everything I did. I love you so much Ivy; she said and pulled the trigger. She fell to the ground with blood rushing down her head and her eyes wide open.
Mummy!!!!!!!!!!! She yelled and rushed to her.
Mum! Please don't do this. Please wake up, please don't leave us. Mum!!!!!!! She cried but her mum didn't reply.
She died instantly with her eyes opened. Ivy closed her eyes and her body was taken by the ambulance that came. Raymond was taken to jail and Ivy went to the hospital with Arnaldo.
Arnaldo's injuries were being treated and Ivy went to her Dad's room.
He was in a coma actually and Ivy sat beside him on the bed.
Dad! We just lost mum. Please wake up cos I really need you. I know we might have not been in good terms before but know I still love you. Please don't leave us like mum dad. Please!! She cried and put her head on his chest while sobbing. She felt a hand on her back and she looked up only to see Raphael's eyes wide open.
Dad!! She called and he smiled.
Dad!! She yelled and hugged him tightly. He reciprocated the hug.
*****
Lily rushed into the room immediately she heard that her dad was awake. She saw ivy sitting on a chair while some nurses were checking on him.
Dad!! She yelled and rushed to hug him tightly.
I thought you wouldn't make it. I thought I'll loose you like mum; she said as she broke the hug.
It's okay! As long as you're safe, that's enough for me; he said and she smiled. She went to ivy and hugged her tightly.
I missed you!! She said and Ivy reciprocated the hug.
I missed you too!! She muttered and they broke the hug. The nurse left afterwards and ivy left also to go and meet Arnaldo. She entered his room and saw him standing near the window while looking outside.
Arnaldo!! She called and he looked back. She went towards him and hugged him tightly.
I thought I'll loose you Arnaldo. I'm so happy you're safe; she said and he hugged her too.
It's all thanks to you, Naomi and Dexter; he said and broke the hug. He held her by the waist and they stared at each other.
I love you! She said as he cupped her cheeks.
I love you too! He said and slammed his lips on hers.
TBC.....
Are you happy Arnaldo is safe?
Are you happy Raphael is safe?
So Regina is dead.
