I back with another chapter! Read on because the climax of the story is finally here!
Date: September 21, 2005
Previously on Chapter ten:
"Chris, after reading this story, I realized something about you," Amy said as she opened her arms out.
Christine went into them without hesitation. "What's that?"
"You're my daughter." she began to cry.
"I know, Mom. I know." Christine cried along with her.
And now, here's Chapter eleven.
"Oh, Christine. I've missed you so much. 15 years without you with me was so painful," Amy cried. She held her little girl more tightly.
"I know the feeling. My father told me you were dead but I knew better. I knew you were alive and you were looking for me," Christine replied.
"Baby, I want you to know that I never had any intension of giving you for adoption. Mark, my stepfather, wanted me to get rid of you but I couldn't do that to you. He raped me repeatedly and that's how you came about," Amy explained as she looked down at her beautiful daughter.
"I know you didn't. How could I be mad at you for something that wasn't your fault? My father hates me so much!" Christine cried.
Amy just held her. "Honey, do you know where your father is?"
"He's staying at an abandoned house not too far from here. A guy who goes by the name Edge lives with us since he got fired," Christine revealed.
Adam and Mark working together? I can't believe this shit! Amy thought with anger boiled in her veins.
"Baby, why is Edge living with you?" Amy asked with interest.
"He wanted you back. He enlisted my father's help in making his plans going through. Daddy took some photos of you and a man having sex by the wall and in his car. Once I got involved, their partnership ended," Christine explained.
Amy was horrified. Mark saw me and Hunter having sex! How could he do this to me?
"Christine, I want you to do me a huge favor," Amy said through gritted teeth.
"What's that, Mom?" Christine was confused.
She took a deep breath. "Take me to your father."

"Did you hear, Hunter? Randy and Gail got married!" Dave exclaimed as he barged inside their locker room.
"When?" Hunter was shocked.
"Just a few hours ago. When they found out Bradshaw got fired, they quickly took the opportunity and went to the Justice of the Peace," Dave explained.
"Well, I'll be damned. Randy's finally settled down with one girl. I can't believe this!" Ric exclaimed.
"He ain't the only one who got married on the fly," Hunter said.
Dave and Ric looked at him with their eyes wide open. "What are you saying, man?" Dave asked.
"Gentleman, you're looking at a married man and a soon-to-be father. Amy and I got married yesterday after she told me we're gonna have a baby. I'm so happy I made her my wife!" Hunter exclaimed with a smile.
Dave reached over and hugged him. "Well, I'm happy for you, man. You deserve to be happy after what Stephanie put you through."
Hunter groaned. He didn't wanna think about that billion dollar bitch who ruined his life without a care in the world. Stephanie needed someone to control and Hunter was the perfect choice.
He can't think about that now.
"I've moved on from her. Amy's not like that. She's sweet, caring and honest with me. I love her so much," Hunter declared.
Dave and Ric just smiled.

"Thank you, Amy, for calling me on a short notice. Is there anything I can do for you?" Detective James said on the line.
"What if I told you I know where Mark is?" Amy asked him simply.
"You know where Mark is? How did you get that information?"
James was shocked.
"You won't believe this. I have my daughter with me. She told me everything I needed to know," Amy said.
"Christine's with you? Put her on the phone right now!" he demanded.
She handed her cell phone over to Christine, for which she accepted. They were on their way to the house so Amy can confront her stepfather and ex-boyfriend. She still couldn't believe they would stoop so low in getting her back.
"Mom, the detective wanna talk to you again," Christine said as she handed her over the phone.
Amy took it. "Hello, James?"
"This is amazing. I didn't know she was so smart. Listen, I'm gonna get the squad ready so be careful. Call me back when you're ready." he hung up the phone.
Amy snapped her phone shut and took a deep breath. She hoped she knows what she's getting herself and her daughter into.

"Mark, we need to leave town. Christine's not coming back and I think Amy's onto us," Adam declared as he began packing his bags.
"I'm not leaving until I get Amy and Christine back. And you're gonna help me do it," Mark said.
"WHAT? I'm already in enough trouble concerning you. I, for one, is doing the right thing," Adam ranted as he continued packing.
"You're not leaving town, either. Not if you want her back, too. If I were you, I'd stay and get the job done," Mark commanded as he pushed him down on the bed.
"She's not important to me anymore. She made it very clear when she kicked me in my balls. My relationship with her is over and done with. I have to move on." Adam jumped off the bed.
Before he could make a dash at the door, Mark pulled out his handgun and shot him in the back of his head. Adam slid down on the floor and screamed as he stood over his body.
"If you don't want me to shoot you again, I suggest you do what I want. Now, go get cleaned up. We have work to do," Mark said before he left.
Adam just glared at him.

"Honey, I need you to stay in the car while I'll go inside. Keep my cell phone in your hand and call James when I give the signal. Then I need you to call my husband. You can tell him anything you want," Amy said as she got out of the car.
"Mom, I don't like this. I don't wanna lose you again," Christine admitted, holding her hand.
"Baby, I've been running away from my problems long enough. I managed to make peace with my mother and now I need to confront the man who hurt us both. Do you understand?" Amy kissed her hand.
Christine nodded her head. "Just be careful, Mom. I've already lost you once. I don't wanna lose you again."
Amy nodded her head and proceeded up the stairs. The truth is, she was scared as hell. How in the hell can she go through with this, knowing that Mark and Adam could be more dangerous?
She couldn't think about that now. She had to confront them.

"Hunter! Your cell phone's ringing!" Dave called from the bathroom.
He scurried around the locker room until he found it lying on the floor. He snapped it open and pushed the 'talk' button.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Is this Hunter?" a female voice asked.
"The one and only. Who is this calling?" he was confused.
"My name is Christine Harris. I'm Amy Dumas' daughter. I'm calling to let you know that she's over my father's house and she's about to confront him," she explained.
"What is she doing over there? Her stepfather could kill her!" Hunter exclaimed.
"She said she's been running away from her problems long enough. She needs to confront my dad. And, some guy named Edge is living with him," Christine said.
Son of a bitch! Hunter mumbled under his breath. He knew Adam was up to no good.
"Listen, Christine. I need you to stay on the phone. I'm gonna go get some help, all right? I should be there soon," Hunter suggested.
"All right, sir. I'll stay on the phone," Christine agreed.
"Oh, and Christine?"
"Yes?"
"Call me dad."

"Adam! Get the fucking door!" Mark yelled from upstairs.
"All right, all right! Damn!" Adam yelled back as he stumbled towards the door.
When he opened it, someone immediately slapped him across the face. He looked up and saw Amy standing there, her face burned red and she was pissed off!
"What the hell are you doing here, Amy?" he was shocked.
She slapped him again. "Where the hell is he, Adam?"
Adam was confused. "Who are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me, you asshole! I know he's here. Christine told me everything!" Amy yelled in his face.
"Christine? She's with you?" Adam couldn't believe all of this was blowing up in his face.
"I can't believe you would stoop so low and enlist my stepfather's help. Don't you know what that man has done to me and my daughter?" Amy started to cry.
"I do know now. Look, Amy. I'm so sorry for putting you through so much hell. You didn't deserve any of the things I did to you. Can you forgive me?" Adam pleaded.
She pushed past him. "I will never forgive you for what you did to me. I lost all respect for you when you teamed up with Mark. After the both of you have been put in jail, I WILL not have anything with either one of you ever again!"
"What the hell is going on down there, Adam? Do you have someone in the house?" Mark yelled.
"Mark, get your narrow sick ass down here and face me like a man!" Amy yelled.
He stumbled down the stairs and stood face to face with his stepdaughter. He couldn't believe how beautiful she looked. His dreams were coming true.
"Amy! I'm so glad you're here! Listen, we need to go over plans for our wedding," Mark said as he approached her.
"I'm not marrying you! I'm already married!" she declared.
"Divorce him. He can't be a father to our child. I won't stand for it!" Mark exclaimed.
Amy snorted. "I have news for you, Mark. Hunter's more the man you'll ever be."
"What the fuck are you talking about? You married Hunter?" Adam was seething.
"That's right, you two. I married the man I love. Let me tell you something. I'd never loved either one of you. Both of you had caused so much pain and suffering in my life that I wish you were dead!" Amy yelled.
"I say we kill her now to save ourselves. What do you think, Mark?" Adam said as he grabbed her.
"I couldn't agree more." he placed the gun against her temple.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, three police officers, Christine and Hunter barged in and tackled them to the ground. Amy moved out of the way and huddled towards her daughter just the cops slapped some handcuffs on Mark and Adam.
"Are you okay, baby? You got me and Christine worried sick!" Hunter said as he pulled her in his arms.
"I'm fine. I'm just glad you came at the right time or else I would've been dead." she laid her head against his shoulder.
Christine got in between them and hugged them both. "I'm glad I have a real family in my life."
Hunter and Amy smiled.
A happy ending for Amy, Hunter and Christine. Stay tuned in Chapter twelve for the conclusion!
