Chapter 31
"What do we need to talk about?" Claudia asked
"This and that. Just with everything that's happened, I think it's finally time for us to clear the air."
"Well I don't think there is anything to talk about."
"Well I do, for years things between us have been getting worse. No matter the bond our children gave us. A grandchild. Something which keeps our family's together forever."
"Is that all you care about? Your sainted family Your daughter's you know their proof that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, their personality's are the exact same as you."
"What do you mean by that?"
"That no matter what personality they put on the outside. There are murderers on this inside, exactly the same as you are."
"You can say anything about me Claudia but never about my children. They have killed, but necessarily murdered. It was done in the serving for country. Something which you can't accept that what has happened to William."
"So government approved murder is different from normal murder." Claudia said stepping closer to Irina and push her face towards her."
"I will say this once only! Get out of my face"
"Getting Angry Irina. I was wondering when the perfect housewife act was going to drop."
Irina started to raise her hand towards Claudia, but at the last moment turned away trying to keep her angry impulses to herself."
"Once, there was a time, a time where I could only feel anger. But know I'm a different person." Irina said her back to Claudia.
"Well I Still doubt it. You're still a manipulative bitch who doesn't care about anyone but her self."
"I Care." Irina said turning back to face Claudia. "I care about Sydney, I care about Nadia. I care about Jack and my sisters, Michael and Laura. And once apon a time I cared about you. When I found out about William, that he had wife, and a son close to Sydney's age. Leaving a family fatherless was not part of my game, to me he was an C.I.A agent, the enemy. But what you've done over the last six years has changed this You've destroyed parts of this family. What you've done to your own grandchild makes me sick. You've destroyed her faith in her own family. The turmoil you've put Sydney through setting conditions regarding your granddaughter, trying to stop my wedding. And the one that has broken my back. Aligning yourself to a terrorist with an vendetta against this family."
"You know? How can you know?"
"Let me say, your partner sang like an canary when she thought she was on the ropes."
With that Claudia jumped at Irina desperately trying to hit her, but was being held back by Irina's strength.
"Stop this!" Irina said through gritted teeth as pushed back from her.
"Never. You deserve to die for what you have done to me." And pounced at her, her hands going around Irina's thought."
"Mom!" Sydney cried walking through the door, a four person team recon team behind her, to witness the scene of Claudia slowing squeezing the life out of her mother.
