Dangerous love - 4
A FEW MONTHS LATER…
Martha was in front of the mirror, wearing a long white dress, with a beautiful tulips bunch on the table waiting the moment to go out of the room.
"You look really nice" said Clark voice from behind.
"Clark!" said Martha with tears on her eyes "Oh sweetheart, you've come!" exclaimed running to his arms and hugging her son.
"I've missed you a lot, mummy"
"I was sure that you wouldn't come"
"Me too… until I understand that, even I don't trust Lionel, I had to be with you in a day like this"
He offered his arm to his mother and she round it with hers, and with the other she took the bouquet and they left the room.
Lionel was happy to see Clark taking Martha to the altar, because if her son was there Martha couldn't be happier that day.
Clark gives Martha's hand to Lionel while he whispered at his ear: "You know my debility, but it won't stop me if you ever hurt her"
The rest of the ceremony was really sweet, and after the party Martha and Lionel took a plane to their honeymoon in Paris.
Martha couldn't really believe that she had married Lionel Luthor; but Lionel was really happy because his plan was finished, Martha Kent had become the new Mrs. Luthor.
"I will make you really happy" said him holding her hand on their return trip.
"I'm sure of it" said her, smiling.
They installed at Lionel's luxury apartment in Metropolis, because Lex and Lana already were at the mansion; and Clark came back to the farm. Martha came back to her meetings as a senator and Lionel came back to his business. Everybody seemed to have forgotten what happened after Lex's wedding, and more than anyone else, Martha, who was really happy with her new life as Lionel Luthor's wife.
But when them came back from their honeymoon Martha began to feel really sick, and she was sure that it was the trip's food fault, because she didn't really enjoy that estrange French food that they ate at the hotel. So she went to the doctor, because some days after their return she still feeling sick and the doctor did some analysis to her.
Happily, Martha went to Lionel's office to tell him the analysis results: she was five weeks pregnant! But she stopped behind the door when she listened Lionel's voice arguing with Lex.
"I'm sorry Lex, I can't help you again"
"Why not?!"
"If I threaten your wife again she will run to tell it to Martha, and I don't want it… it have been really hard for me to make her trust me"
"But I can't do it, I don't know what you said her!"
"Think on something she really love… then you just have to make her understand that if she try to leaves you, she will lose it…"
"That's what you're doing with Martha?"
"I don't need this type of things with her… she loves me, and she knows that I love her… that's why I can't let anybody, like your stupid wife, to destroy it"
"Do you really think that I'm going to believe that you don't have a hide card for her?"
"Of course I have… but it's a secret you shouldn't know"
Martha made a step behind her, and then she turned round and walked to the elevator. She couldn't believe what she had just listened. Nervously she took the button and wait the doors to open.
Lex and Lionel went out the office at the same time.
"How was your wife, Mr. Luthor? She seemed nervous when she left"
"What?" asked Lionel.
"Your wife, she came to visit you… she have just taken the elevator"
"Oh shit!" exclaimed Lionel running to the stairs.
"What's wrong?" asked the secretary.
"Well… I think he will have to use his secret card" said Lex.
Martha arrived to the car park and walked fast to her car. She went inside, sat on the driver sit, and put the key.
"We should speak before you leave" said Lionel, who was sat down next to her.
"How have you…? Go out of the car!" asked Martha.
"No. No until we have talked"
"Talk about what?"
"About what you shouldn't have listened"
"I don't need to talk about it… I have already understood all…"
"No, you haven't" said him grasping her wrist.
"Realize me! Don't touch me! You've been lying to me!"
"I haven't. I love you"
"But you threaten Lana!"
He wait a while, he missed words.
"I did. But it was because Lex ask it to me"
"You…" she broke down and began to cry "you threatened her with my son's life! Did Lex ask that to you?"
"I would never hurt your son… I just thought on something which scared her…"
"You're cruel… you haven't changed… they weren't wrong!" shouted Martha.
"Don't say that, Martha, please" bedded Lionel.
"If you would never hurt my son, which is your hidden card, Lionel…?"
"My life"
"What?" she stopped crying.
"If you leave me, I kill myself, Martha… I love you too much to live having lost you. But I never, never would hurt you or your son"
"Go out the car"
"What?"
"I need to think… go out the car, please…" she was making hard to not cry again.
"Ok…" and when he left the car Martha drove away the car park.
