Chapter 14
An: i know things seem confusing right now, put things will be put in there place. I promise. Things might just get more complicated too. So bare with me.
I came home around 2 in the morning…I was anxious to leave…I looked around the condo and it was dark…geesh did I not say that we needed to leave tonight…I walked in Theresa's rooms, I wasn't prepared for what I was going to see…
"What hell.."
"PRIMA..omg, I am so sorry we can explain.."
I smirked at them… "So you guys were getting it done, while I was out there on business! Don't worry about it, you guys are in-love. Now I need to tell you both something quickly, my contacts have informed me that Alistar is here, somewhere, so he might pay a visit, that means we need to be prepared for anything…" I said, I knew that gut feeling was about Alistar it always has to be about him…I was prepared, I knew what I had to do, when I left the compound, I received a call from Doug, he told me the news, immediately I placed a call to Dylan, I told him what could happen, and what to do if it did, he understood…Everything was set.
"Do you think our lives could be endanger than?" Theresa said sounding worried
"Theresa, grandfather is capable of anything, if he wants to kill, he will kill, he has no conscience" Fox said trying state the obvious
"Look we don't know if he will kill you two, now on the other hand he could kill me, I am the one in his way" I said looking at them
"Oh prima that's terrible, but I guess Fox is right, Alistar doesn't care, we should finish packing then" she said getting dressed
"OK good, I will be in the living room, you have to hurry" I said walking out of her room.
As I was making my way toward the living room, I smelled something funny, like smoke…my first thought, Alistar was here…So I ran to Theresa's Room, I told them that they needed to go now, I told them not to ask any questions, I gave them directions to the airport and my car, I told them to forget about the clothes…Theresa the stubborn one she is didn't want to leave me, but I told her everything would work out…Fox pushed her out of the door way and left…I again made my way toward the living room…There Alistar was admiring my paintings on the wall.
"You know, if you want that painting so much, I could just give you the artist name, and you could get a duplicate" I said trying to break the ice
"I don't own any duplicates of anything, why would I want a duplicate when I could have this one right here" he said turning around and facing me.
"Now who said I would give you my painting" I knew what he meant by that comment, but I wanted him to say it…you will find out later why.
He chuckled. "I thought I stated the obvious, in other words, you wont be able to stop me…Your going to die tonight marisol, and once you die, well this painting will be mine."
"So, you think you can kill me eh, well Alistar, haven't you ever heard the saying what comes around goes around…Well let me explain it to you anyways, what your doing right now is bad deeds…Sooner or later you will fall…So go ahead Alistar kill me…Nothing is stopping you." I said with a straight face, all while glaring at him intently
"Your right, nothing is stopping me." He then pulled out the gun…he aimed but nothing came about it
"huh, I thought you would have killed me by now, I thought you said that nothing is stopping you" I said smirking
"Shut up, I am just prolonging it, I want you to suffer" he said while still holding the gun and aiming at me
"You know Alistar, I think I was wrong, something is stopping you…But the question is what…Why cant you shoot at me" I said looking at him, I was confused, why hadn't he pulled the trigger, while I was trying to think, the gun went off…He shot me…I was "bleeding".
"There, I-I shot you" he said weakly
I stared at him, why was it so damn hard to pull the trigger…He knew something I didn't…
"Why do you sound like you regret this" I whispered
"Because…Marisol, I guess there is no other way to say this…you're my daughter…"
"What!" I said trying to yell, I couldn't believe this revelation, how could I be his Daughter, it wasn't ethical….
"I found out, a couple weeks ago, I decide to run a check on you when you came back to Harmony, and while doing that I came across your medical records, it startled me to learn that you had a disease, and what surprised me even more was that I had the same disease…That disease comes about hereditary, Meaning that I put 2 and 2 together…" he said
"But, that cant be, my father could have had it, it could be a coincidence…" I said trying my best not to give away anything
"I am sorry but you are, and for me to kill my own daughter. Well"
I interrupted him "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? How many times did you intent killing Sheridan…you're a bastard, I hate you, you are one sick bastard…to think about those years I was your slave! GET OUT! GET OUT! LET ME DIE!" I said trying my best to yell
He chuckled. "Even if I was hesitant on killing you it doesn't matter, I have finally gotten rid of you. And as for Sheridan, she was never a daughter to me, so I have every reason to kill her. Now I will respect your wishes. I will leave. See you in hell my dear" he smirked and walked out.
I waited on the floor until I heard his car turn on, and leave. I waiting a 20 minutes more just in case his men were around. I got up and took of my shirt and the vest…Alistar hadn't succeed in killing me…I had faked the whole thing, you see the story would have ended if I was dead, but I am not, so the story continues.
I got off the floor and made a call to Doug, he was relieved to know that everything had worked, I told him not to tell Theresa and Fox that I wasn't fine yet. I need to make sure everything was perfect for tomorrow night, he said that was fine. Next I placed a call to Dylan. I told him to meet me in 20 minutes, we needed some planning to do…
I drove to the another house I had on the same block…
"Hey" I said
"Hey" Dylan said
The tension was thick. So I said something that I knew would break the ice
"I picked you" I said quietly
"You did" he whispered
I nodded my head, he grabbed me by the waist and kissed me deeply, this kiss wasn't the one like I had with Jonathan. Jonathans kiss was about familiarity, something that I knew. Dylan's was different, his kiss was about passion, promise, and comfort. That's how I knew that Dylan was the one, and also because Dylan would never want to control me or change who I was. Jonathan maybe if I would stayed it could have been different, but the reality was I didn't stay. And because of that my personality changed. And Dylan was the one that understood it. I wanted to stay there in that moment kissing Dylan forever but before forever came, we needed to stay focus.
I pushed him away, he gave me a questioning look.
"why did you push me away?"
"Because if I didn't, I would want you to much and right now we need to focus on Alistar" I said smiling
"Ah so you admit that you love dills pickle" Dylan told me huskily all while smirking
"Well its more like the other way around, does Dillie love Marisol's…" I whispered the last part in his ear.
"Ok ok, you win" he said smiling
"Good, now lets get down to business, we have less than 24 hours to make this work. I was thinking of revealing all of Harmony's secrets Tomorrow night, but that shall be for another time I suppose, so our main event is Alistar." I said
"Correct, now how do you think we should go about this?"
"I was thinking that we would scare Alistar a bit" I said, a light bulb in my head went off
"Ok..want to share with me that scare tactic?"
"Nope, I have to do it myself, but you can help me set our get away"
"Our get away?" Dylan gave me a questioning look.
I only gave him an innocent look.., and I said nothing more. A few hours later we were in the air, Dylan had fallen asleep next to me. I couldn't sleep I kept replaying the words that seemed to be engraved in my brain forever… You're my daughter, I tired not to let the words get to me, but they had…I was a Crane, I hadn't until this point told Dylan the newest revelation nor Doug…
Since I was a Crane it brought new means to my life, I could now take everything away from Alistar every scent, or better yet I could take Crane Industries and merge it with my company…hmm the endless possibilities I had in my finger tips…But before those ideas were even possible I had to get rid of Alistar. When I said I wanted to scare Alistar I wasn't joking. He isn't going to know what hit him. …I chuckled…Just when I was still thinking about my ideas, the pilot announced that we were landing.
Dylan decide it was best that we not land in Harmony but at least an hour away, I agreed. For security sake it was the best. We got off the plane and got our rental car and drove off to Harmony. It was around 2 in the morning when we had arrived, I called Doug and he assured me that Alistar wasn't him yet, he was still in his office with his secretary. I stopped Doug and told him to spare me the details of Alistar mating. He laughed, he told me that he had gotten the keys to his mansion and that he had already disconnected the 2 alarm systems and any back-up systems that were there, I told him he need to double check, he said that he had, we had an hour to have everything set up, after that the alarms would go back on schedule. I told him ok, and by the time I finished the conversation we pulled in to the woods behind the mansion.
"Are you ready?"
"Yep I am, lets get this equipment in and I will set it up" I said, the equipment set up was easy, not really a big deal. Within 15 minutes I was done, I called Dylan to let him know that everything was set, now I had to change and wait.
It had been at least 30 minutes since I was here, and no signs of Alistar I was getting irritated. But right before I was going to place a phone call I heard the door open and someone enter. I peaked through the hole and saw Alistar and what it seemed to be his security guard carrying him in to his room…Alistar was drunk…how weird, it was not known for Alistar to get drunk, he actually could hold his liquor quite well. But with him drunk it served a great benefit on my side. I then waited about 10 minutes and made sure that the guards were not in hearing range. While Alistar was in the bathroom I stepped out of my hiding space and sat in his chair. The bathroom door opened and out came Alistar, his eyes were in total shock when he saw me. I smirked at him.
"Oh Alistar you seem like you just saw a ghost are you alright" I smirked once again
"How can you be here! I shot you, your supposed to be dead!" he said to me a whisper
"Oh I am dead, its just that my life's purpose hasn't been fulfilled yet, and that's why I am here, you see I have some unfinished business with you and the rest of Harmony, and since you killed me, you have the pleasure of carrying my burdens for me, and before you disagree, there is proof that you shot me Alistar. Now its either you do what I say, or you go to jail."
Alistar smirked "I will just buy myself out of jail my dear"
"Oh you see your forgetting something, you didn't kill me in the states, you killed me in Puerto Rico and many people aren't to happy with my killings and even if you could escape someone would kill you eventually, Trust me"
Alistar's smirk left his face and a look of terror had set in, not only did I know he was thinking of going to jail or getting killed but he was thinking that he must be going crazy for imagining me.
"All this will go away in the morning…I am sure of it" he said to himself
"If you believe that you can sign these papers and they wont make a difference if you say this will go away" I told him, the fool nodded and signed them I slip out through my entrance when his back was towards me and he was contemplating what he had done. I then stopped and looked through the hole of my hideout, he was looking for me and swearing to himself. He went to the other side of his room and poured himself another drink…Alistar would be gone by the morning…
I slipped out of my hideout and made it outside, I went around the back and met up with Dylan, he started to laugh when he saw me, I was so white you could have thought I had that "disease".
"Stop laughing, I got the mission done didn't I" I told him
"Yes you did and with what price? With the price of looking like that" Dylan said all while trying to hold his laughter
"Yeah well I guess I will be sleeping alone tonight huh?" I told him while getting in to the car. His face turned serious
"I am sorry"
"Oh shut up, if I wouldn't have said that you still would be laughing your ass of right now" I chuckled, I loved him so much, he knew how to make me put my walls down, and that was something I couldn't wait to get used to.
Alistar was gone…
---------------------------------------------------------
The next morning the papers that Alistar had signed were stored in the proper place, and Dylan and I left the states and went back to Puerto Rico. But tragedy striked….
