479-The Evil Mother And Daughter.
Author's POV:
Two Years Ago:
After making it seem like she had killed Walsh for them, Christina once again made herself look better to her friends.
However, there were a few things that struck her after a little victory. She found out Enya had killed her father, but along with that, she only heard what her father was trying to do to Enya.
After waiting for a few days, Christina went to meet up with her mother again. The two spent the whole day together, and her mother helped her forget about what happened with Walsh. Emelia wanted to question Christina for once again taking such a huge step for such a little reason, but she didn't. However, Emelia felt like it was time they have that big conversation.
"Christina! Here is something I am going to tell you, but I want you to be very quiet about it." Emelia held her hand, making her sit down with her on the couch.
“What is it about?" Christina felt her heart thumping hard just at the mere thought of what it might be that is bothering her mother now.
“Your friends killed your father,” Emelia said, watching Christina's face for her response. But Christina looked a little down. It let Emelia know her daughter already knew about it.
"You knew? Yet you carried on sticking with them." Emelia looked astonished at the fact that her daughter needed someone so badly that she found friends among the most toxic people.
Maynard wouldn't leave them, no matter what they did. Christina looked down, hiding from her mother.
But by now you should have controlled him to the point that you order him something and he does it without even questioning you.” Emelia shook her head at her daughter for living like she had a second chance and not moving up from there.
"He cannot stop listening to Enya. It is like even after they have broken up, he has his eyes on her all the time,” Christina complained, “but I didn't know it would actually go further than that. I always thought Enya and Maynard would just secretly share stares here and there, and that would be all about it, but I was so wrong.” She recalled the video and grimaced. There was this bottled-up anger that she wanted to let out and consume everyone in it, but she had to wait. Enya was a powerful force that she didn't want to mess with.
It was then her mother’s constant stare that reminded her she needed to explain the part where her father's murder was justified.
“Actually, dad was — forcing himself on Enya to get a baby from her. A powerful child who will be stronger than anyone."
Christina felt guilt when recalling her father in that light.
What? I can't believe Argo would stoop this low." The moment Christina heard her uncle's name from her mother's lips, she smiled awkwardly.
Mom! I am talking about dad," Christina held her mother’s hand as she kind of knew what her mother meant when talking about.
"So am I.” Emelia’s little whisper brought shivers down Christina's spine.
"I don't know— what-uncle Argo was our — my father?" She kept watching her mother’s face to find a hint of solace, but there was no lie in that truth.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Oh!” Christina held her hand to her stomach and started gagging.
“Are you okay?" Emelia instantly started rubbing her back, as Christina couldn't believe she didn't even know who her real father was all this time.
"And —my friends killed my father too?" Christina was now looking at things differently. How was it that everytime Christina had someone she could call family, they ended up dying at the hands of her so- called friends?
“But he wasn't killed by Enya. You know who killed Argo, right?” Emelia watched her daughter's face turn red with realization.
Maynard and Lazio!" she recalled. ‘My own mate killed my father." She no longer cried. Her eyes were stuck in space as she tried to think what her next step would be.
"Christina! I understand you love that boy a lot, but don't forget, Argo wasn't a bad man. He was only misunderstood. Thiago and his friends entered his safe place, and he had to fight them because— he was not used to having visitors anymore. But they killed him; they killed your father. Don't you see now? They are catastrophe, and nothing else for you!" Emelia held her hand tightly and made her look at her.
“But I love Maynard,” Christina whimpered, feeling her mother's palm against her cheeks as her father cupped her face in her hands.
“Then win him, but make him your slave. Make him that lost puppy who cannot imagine his life without you. As for that bitch, give her hell," Emelia hissed at the thought of Enya.
"Start by stealing her diary, as you mentioned, and make Maynard lose the chance of ever finding out what exactly Hazel did to him. You know, Maynard would be devastated, thinking Enya hid the diary to
prevent him from knowing what truly happened in his past. In the meantime, you will pretend like you have been doing your research, finding bits and pieces, and then conveying the past information to him. He will be forever grateful to you for spending your precious time on finding all the information on what he had gone through in his childhood. Make him look at Enya as this selfish girl who only thinks about herself.‘ Emelia guided Christina to steal the diary that later Enya would make a huge fuss about and accuse Corbin of stealing.
Things were finally falling into place for Christina, as her mother was making sure she was behind her at every step of her life.
Christina did steal the diary and then purposely took Maynard to the rooftop where Lazio and Enya were talking about Enya's mother being the witch who had cursed Lazio and Maynard's childhood.
But that wasn't all. Christina had to do one little thing before she exposed Enya's mother to them.
