Abandoned - 7
Two days later, at the morning, Clark had still being sure that he had seen Lionel at the farm. He really didn't understand anything… but he wanted to stop that crazy wedding!
It was at Thomas's farm. Martha was getting dress on one of the rooms, while Clark was walking so nervous at the living room.
Suddenly, one of Thomas's workers came from the cellar with a plate full of food.
The worker: Boss, he didn't want to eat anything…
Thomas: Well… it doesn't matter… if he's ill, he will not interrupt the wedding… and when I have already become Martha's husband, we will leave him free.
Clark watched to the floor with his view power, and saw a man sitting on the cellar floor. When Thomas and his worker had left he went to the downstairs door and opened it… he needed his force because it was closed.
He walked downstairs, and there he was, Lionel Luthor, tied up and with more hurt than he had two days ago.
Clark: Lionel! What are you doing here?
Lionel: We have to stop this wedding, Clark… He found me at the farm and hit me, just because he wants to marry your mother… Martha can't become his wife!
Clark: Ok… but we haven't too much time…
Martha had nearly finished to dress when somebody knocked the door.
Martha: Clark? It's you… I'm nearly finishing… came in… - she was looking herself on the mirror, and was from it how she saw that it wasn't Clark who was walking inside… it was… - Lionel! – she turned back and run to him… she broke down and started to cry, but she was really happy. They hugged, and kissed. – Clark said that you was alive… I couldn't believe him…
Lionel: Don't worry about this, now… all's fine… we're together again…
Martha: Oh my god! But I'm going to marry another man!
Lionel : A man you don't love…
Martha: No! Of course I don't! I just love you… I love you so much… And I missed you so much too… - she started to cry again, Lionel dry her tears.
Lionel: Don't cry… Where's our little baby?
Martha: She's going to be a year old in two weeks, darling… You have lost a lot of things… but I have a lot of photographs to show you! She's with the babysitter, I will take her… wait here…
Martha was walking at the corridor, with her wedding dress, when she found Thomas in front of her.
Thomas: What are you doing here, dear? I shouldn't see you before the ceremony.
Martha: Thomas… I'm really sorry, but there will not be any ceremony…
Thomas: What do you mean?
Martha: I'm not marrying you. I… ah! – he slapped her – What are you…?
He grasped her from her wrist and took her to his room. She shouted because he was hurting her. He push her and she felt on the floor. She was going to shout to Clark, but Thomas stepped on her hand… she shout of pain.
Thomas: Do not ask your son for help! – he sat over her and grabbed her neck – Listen to me fucking bitch! You're going to marry me today, and you're going to be a kind wife with me as you was with Jonathan, you're going to cook and clean for me, and I will take care of your fucking daughter and you, ok? – he put his hand under the dress skirt – Because if you don't become my wife today, I will kill your pretty baby… the last remember that Lionel Luthor left to you… Did you understand?
Martha was crying: I did. – she was so scared.
Martha went into the room crying and without the baby.
Lionel: What's the matter? Where's Alice?
Martha: Go out from here, Lionel.
Lionel: What?!
Martha: Leave me! Run away! Find a new woman, make a new family! – she sat on the bed crying.
Lionel: I don't want any new family… I want OUR family!
Martha: I'm getting married today… there's not OUR family!
Lionel: What do you mean?! You can't marry that man! You don't love him! And he's cruel! What have he said you?
Martha: Go out!
