Must Read: Love and Revenge - Season 2 - Episode 36

☆☆

‘mummy! Mummy!!’
Fiona turned immediately to see a happy looking Emerald running towards her.
Before she could blink, she was in her arms already.

‘mummy, is this really you? I miss you!’ Emmy said cheerfully.
‘uh….’ she was speechless as her eyes darted towards Ann who stood behind Emmy. She stared daggers at her.

Ann had played with her and she wasnt going scot free for doing that. No one messes with Fiona Jay.

‘mummy, where have you been? I’ve been so worried about you? Mummy do you know what aunty Rebecca did to me, she starved me of food for two days, it was mama Benji that gave me bread and groundnut with sachet water, then aunty Rebecca went to meet mama Benji and warned her never to give me anything again and that i’m a cursed child, mummy, am i a cursed child?’ Emmy rattled.

Fiona closed her eyes. Emmy would always be Emmy. She didnt care who was there or who was listening to her, what matters was that she was talking and she already knew that Emmy had told Ann everything about her family, there was nothing she would not tell you once she gets a listening ear.
‘mummy do you miss me?’ Emmy said tapping her with a frown all over face.

Fiona smiled and swept her off her feet ‘my darling angel, i missed you my love’
And she really did miss her. Her heart bled whenever she saw Emmy, reason why she wanted to sell her off to Annabel. Simply looking at Emmy’s beautiful and angelic face made her feel like shedding tears.

She was too young and innocent to suffer this way. She was too angelic and cute to be born by a mother like her.

She knew she could never be a good mother to Emmy. She knew Emmy deserved better.
She loved Emmy, she loved her child so much but sometimes when she looked her, she was remembered of the pains she went through to have and the sorrows it cost her.

Emmy’s birth changed her. Emmy’s birth changed her into something she herself couldnt fathom. After giving birth to Emmy, she had felt different and embittered, determined to make life suffer. And also to make Emmy regret coming into the world. She knew what she went through in the hands of Rebecca during her period of pregnancy, she didnt want to remember.

She immediately dropped Emmy down as if she was a hot pot. Then she faced Ann.
She looked around the quiet playground and saw some kids gathered together, obviously playing.

She squatted in front of Emmy ‘love? Go join your friends over there, i and this guardian of yours here need to have a tete-a-tete’

Emmy frowned in confusion ‘mummy, whats a teteatete?’
‘run along, i’ll tell you about that later’
‘alright mummy’ Emmy said and scurried along.

Fiona shot Ann a deadly look ‘you!’
Ann looked down then looked up again and smiled ‘Emmy looks so happy to see you’
‘you know what? I feel like killing you! I feel like wiping your sorry self from the surface of this motherfu-Cking earth right now!’
‘i’m not threatened, Fiona Opeyemi Johnson’

Fiona drew back, this was crazy. How did Ann know her full name. Nobody knew her full name except Rebecca. And Rebecca wasnt one to go ahead spilling secrets to people. Everyone knew her as Fiona Jay, nothing more, nothing less. No one even knew she was from Yoruba.

‘now…how….how do you know that?’
‘and why wouldnt i know about that. Popili?’

Fiona gasped in shock. She moved to where Ann was and grabbed her shirt furiously ‘who are you! Who the fu.ck are you and how do you know my nickname? Who and where do you come from you motherfu-Cking daughter of a bitc.h!’ She was panting furiously.

Ann laughed nervously ‘hahaha, calm down Fijay and let me explain!’
‘i dont fu.cking know who you are or the mission you’re on but i’m warning you right now, i dont know where you got to know everything about me, and i dont care to know, but whatever you’re planning, you’d better stop now because i’m not someone you can deal with and go scot free. I am Fijay, the queen of the daggers and no one messes with me and goes scot free, do you understand me? And dont even think of saying nonsense about my brother Lex because he’s already dead! My brother Lex died many years ago, i’ve even forgotten about him. I am hundred percent sure he died so dont you dare do telenovela with me, have i made myself clear!’ Fiona said breathing hard, then she released Annabel and pushed her away ‘let this be the first and last time you will try this rubbish with me seriously. I’ll take Emmy with me. Whatever connection between us ends now and i mean it’

She turned and walked to where she had seen Emmy head to, where the other kids were. But she didnt see any kids there anymore, she walked to that spot but saw no one. Not even a single sould.

She screamed Emmy’s name and looked at Ann for help, they ransacked the whole playground but Emmy was nowhere to found.
Emmy was gone!
