Chapter 8: Toxic Obsession
"Would you like to talk to me about your relationship with Gil? So it all started because you wanted to use him to get back at Molly" Officer Miranda asked.
"I admit that at first it was... but then... I fell in love with Gil. That boy...was funny and attentive to me...he was much better than Davis" Jane explained.
"No, Jane…..You didn't love Gil... You became sickly obsessed with Gil" The lobster woman commented. Jane laughed a little in a sinister way.
"There's always another version of the same story, darling" Jane smirked.
Flashback. Some Time ago.
It's been a few weeks since Jane started dating Gil. At first, Jane just wanted to use it to make her nival suffer. Molly Gentilella. She took advantage of any moment to make fun of her behind Gil's back. However, Gil started to really like her. He was literally what she wanted. A popular, fun guy and he was attentive to her. Although she couldn't deny feeling strange, it's obvious that he still has feelings for Molly. And that filled young Cadaverini with rage. She pressured Gil into formalizing a formal relationship. He thought about it a lot but he finally agreed. Finally, Jane had a boyfriend. And what better candidate than Gil Gordon.
"I finally got it, father! Gil is my boyfriend!" Jane said very excited.
"All right, darling. You finally found a good boy for you. He is better than your ex-boyfriend. And from what you told me, he's a bit famous, huh? Those….Bubble Guppies sound familiar to me but….I can't quite remember" Bossi analyzed.
"And he is beautiful! And he is only mine!" Jane said very confident.
"Are you sure he is only yours?" Bossi asked.
"Yes, I'm sure...Wait a minute...No! That damn Molly still checks out my boyfriend. She is his best friend. I can't let them keep seeing each other!" Jane said bothered.
"That's the problem. You have to force him to be only with you. Remember my advice on dominance over the weak? Do the same to him. Let him know that you are the only thing he should care about" Bossi adviced her.
"So...I have to use force and intimidation, right?" Jane smirked evilly.
"Hehehe You are a true Cadaverini! You have learned well, my dear" The boss said with a smile.
"That's how it is! Gil will be mine! Because he belongs only to me" Jane said determined.
What some thought was a love story would soon become a horror story. She was starting to get attached to Gil in an unhealthy way. He wanted to introduce his new girlfriend to his best friends. Jane hated the idea, but she had to pretend. Thanks to that, she got to know a little bit about the Bubble Guppies. Over the next few days, Jane began to see things that she didn't like about her boyfriend. Something she hated about Gil is that he was clumsy. Many things went wrong for him and it was no longer funny for her, for her it was stupid. But, she wasn't going to break up with him. She became obsessed with him, she didn't want to let him go. So she started wanting to change him…the hard way. She began to insult him and terrify him. Then came the pinching and ear pulling. She began to impose rules on her boyfriend. She couldn't go out with her friends, with her family, much less with Molly.
Gil was beginning to agree to his girlfriend's demands. Because he was afraid of her. When he tried to defend himself against her, she simply intimidated him with her look or with a slap to shut him up. That method of control was effective. He did everything she wanted. He did her homework for her, they went shopping and on dates, although Gil couldn't but he was forced to. An important day for her was when she found out that Gil was talking to Molly. Jane saw it and gave Gil a terrifying look to force him to separate from her. What Jane heard was music to her ears.
"Well...I….I…..I prefer to stay with her…..than with you" Gil lied very nervous.
"But what are you saying? Gil, we have been your friends for a long time. You can't let a girl control you" Molly said, very worried.
"You do not understand anything. I love her and I don't want them to get in the way of our relationship" Gil was pretending all of this. But Molly can´t notice his lie this time "You know? I never want to see you again. I don't want you to look for me again"
"Gilly…...I didn't think that about you ... And I thought I liked you" Molly confessed with tears in her eyes.
"Wait….What?!" Gil was shocked.
"NEVERMIND…...If you want me to leave you alone ... I will ... Goodbye Gil Gordon" Molly said crying and ran away.
"Molly, wait! I didn't…" But it was too late. She left him alone. Gil was very upset by himself. Jane was smiling in satisfaction with everything she saw. She was celebrating in her mind. Now Molly hated Gil and he would be completely hers.
"Very good, my love. You have already understood how this works. You won't need that b*tch anymore. Since you have me" Jane said hugging him. But he denied it.
"Jane….we have to talk. I love you and all that but ... we can't continue like this. You want me to be someone I am not" Gil started to explain this situation. Jane was getting suspicious about what her boyfriend was trying to tell her.
"Gil…..Don´t be silly. I just want you not to be stupid. Please, mature" Jane said.
"Maybe I'm dumb and sometimes immature, but I'm not idiot. It's just part of my personality and you don't like this. Also, you manipulate and control all my relationships. You don't want me to be with my best friend Molly. You don't want me to be with my friends. You don't want me to be with my family. You just want me to be with you" Gil explained annoyed. He was doing what Jane never wanted. Let him defend himself. Jane decided to intimidate him like she always used to.
"Gil...shut up…." She ordered. Jane thought that would be enough to scare him, but no.
"No!...This time no!...And for a change you always make me feel bad. First you attack me with insults that hurt me. Then you started with pinching and pulling ears. And you started with the slaps too. You treat me like I'm trash!" Gil said that with some tears. Jane was upset. Gil kept complaining about her treatment of him.
"I said….SHUT UP" Jane hit him in the face with a punch. Gil started to rub his battered cheek a little. Jane knew that if psychological pressure wasn't enough, physical pressure would do the trick. The boy was scared. Because Jane had never hit him with a fist
"You...you….you hit me!" Gil was scared.
"And what do you plan to do about it? So you will learn to obey" Jane said rudely.
"That's it! It's over! You and I have to break" Gil said that very confident with his decision. The word "break" didn't like Jane very much. She was the one in charge, she decided how long their relationship would last. For her, Gil only had to please her. So she used her secret weapon. She wouldn't leave Gil easily. She knew he would go quickly for Molly. And she couldn't allow it. She wagged her finger in denial. And she smirked.
"Oh no no no no. You and I are not finished with our relationship" She said that evilly.
"My opinion also counts. So I decide to end you" Gil answered.
"Tsk Tsk I don´t think so. I decide when our relationship ends. You will remain mine until I get bored of you" Jane confessed. Jane would corner her boyfriend.
"You can't force me to be with you" Gil shouted.
"But, honey…..I can do it. So you say that I constantly hit you" Jane asked. He just nodded "It is a pity that no one will believe that. You seriously think that someone will believe that nonsense that a woman hits a man. No no no. But ... oh sure ... what if I say you hit me ... Wow ... everyone would believe me" She said that with a provocative tone.
"What?" Gil asked.
"If I say you hit me, I can sue you. The police could issue you a fine. Or worse, to prison for violence against women. Everyone would see you as a fucking women attacker for your whole life" Jane said that with a evilly tone. That's right, Jane could use the law to her advantage, thanks to her father being the infamous Bossi Cadaverini.
"But that's not true! You are the one who hits me!" Gil screamed desperately. He obviously wanted to cry.
"Hahahahahaha And who will believe you? Even your friends don't believe you. And the police less. That is us of the advantages that we have the women before the law in these times" Jane said that with malice "Oh….And by the way ... Don't you dare tell ANYONE about this. I can ruin your life if I want. Hahahahaha" Jane decided to leave her boyfriend alone.
She knew that she had all the cards in her favor to beat him. She managed to manipulate him and he was at her mercy. She was more bossy with the blue-haired boy. She saw that Gil was changing. He was no longer hyperactive and cheerful. Now he was more serious (and he entered a great state of depression) Jane believed that he was definitely hers.
"Father, Gil is mine! Now I can do what I want! The perfect guy is only mine" Jane celebrated.
"I see. I'm glad for you. However, you should not let your guard down. You don't want Gil to find a way to save himself from your threads" Bossi explained.
"And what can he do to get rid of me? If I can ruin your life forever. I made sure he had no escape" Jane smirked.
"Well...just don't get too confident. Overconfidence always leads to ruin" The boss advised her.
Evidently, Jane let her guard down a bit. She didn't know that her boyfriend secretly met with her best friends and with Molly to confess everything he was suffering. And the worst thing is that they set a trap for Jane. The day came and Jane knew nothing. She just dated Gil as usual. Everything indicated that it would be a normal day. If it wasn't for the fact that Molly appeared in front of them and Gil went to greet her as if nothing had happened. Jane sensed that something strange was going on.
"Gil…..you don't remember we talked about that ... kind of things" Jane said trying to hide her wrath.
"Mmmm no. You shouldn't overdo it. She is just my best friend. I haven't seen or talked to her for a long time" Gil said without any fear.
"Yeah….just best friends…." Molly added with a confident smile. Jane hated that kind of gesture. And worse when it came to HER.
"Gil…...Leave her IMMEDIATELY!" Jane shouted "It's an order!"
"Why should I listen to you? All you have done is isolate me from the people I care about" Gil decided to defend himself for the first time from his abusive girlfriend. But she didn't take it very well and took it by the neck and hit it on a wall.
"Are you trying to challenge me, you brainless idiot?" Jane asked very angry. This time, she was holding him tighter.
"Agh" Jane wasn't measuring his strength and she thought of murdering him by squeezing his neck to make him stop breathing. But a voice made her stop.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOUR SADISTIC MANIPULATOR!" Molly shouted, very annoyed. Jane just left him and he ran to Molly.
" What did you call me, damn brunette?" Jane asked.
"Just as you hear it. I am tired of how you manipulate my best friend. How you make him feel bad and how you constantly hit him just because you want to do with him what you want. That, my friend, is not love. It is aggression. Both physical and psychological" Molly explains that. At first, Jane was surprised. How could Molly know that? At least that...Gil told her. She smiled wickedly. She knew that if that happened, it was time to send Gil to jail and ruin his reputation forever.
"Gil ... so you told her the truth ... didn't you?" Jane said that evilly.
"Yes….because I'm sick of you" Gil replied fearlessly.
"It's because Gil realized how bad you are. I don't consider you as a vulture, I consider you as something a vulture would eat" Molly said. Jane laughted evilly.
"Hehehe…..I warned you, Gil. You're going to spend your whole miserable life in a cell" Jane said evilly preparing her cellphone to call the police "Anything you want to say before you say "goodbye" to your freedom?" In this moment, Gil and Molly smiled.
"You talk a lot…..Please….Smile at the cameras!" Molly said that very confident. Jane noted that there were some hidden cameras throughout the hallway. Immediately, the other guppies appeared surrounding her.
"What kind of sick trick is this?" Jane shouted. She had a bad feeling that they planned something. She did not count that the other guppies appeared: Goby, Deema, Oona and Nonny
"You said everything perfectly. And all this is recorded" Deema said.
"Don't even bother destroying the cameras. The recording has been sent from the cameras to Nonny´s computer." Goby commented.
"And don't even try to sue Gil. Because if you file charges against him, we will file charges against you. We have a lot of evidence and you don't. You would be arrested for abuse and at the same time for false accusation if you sue him" Nonny explained "My father is a lawyer. So, we will not have problems with the process ... But you?"
"Jane…..You're done!" Molly smirked at her. Impossible! Molly predicted her entire control strategy over Gil. Jane flared up with fury at the pink-haired girl.
"You ... you ... YOU ... DAMN BRUNETTE! ... I WILL KILL YOU WHEN I CAN!" Jane shouted furiously.
"Don't even try. That would be another charge" Nonny interrupted her quietly.
"Do you know something, "darling"? We could avoid legal problems ... with only two conditions" Gil smiled very confidently.
"What do you want, damn it!" Jane asked angrily.
"One: You are going to leave all my friends alone, including Molly" Gil said that. "And two: You and I are nothing as of today. So we're done. Don't look for me at all. Understood?" She was thinking about it a lot. Reluctantly, she agreed to the deal.
"FINE! Like you want" She said that angrily
"Jane...one last question….How does it feel to be manipulated? That's how I felt in our entire relationship, witch!" Gil said that with a confident smile. Now she felt it. She felt what she was doing to Gil. Her now ex-boyfriend manipulated her. If she harmed him or her friends of hers, he could put her in jail. She only growled and decided to run away.
She came to talk to her father upset and sad.
"DAD! Gil and I broke up! And it's all Molly's fault! Rather... IT'S THE DAMN BUBBLE GUPPIES' FAULT!" Jane shouted angrily.
"(sigh) Honey, I warned you not to be overconfident….and you paid dearly….Leave that boy and his friends alone….There are better things for you" Bossi tried to calm her.
"NO! Gil must be alone with me! And Molly and those fools must pay! Dad, let's take revenge on them!" Jane said with a evil tone.
"Of course not, daughter. I will not waste mob resources just for capricious revenge" Bossi explained with his cup of wine.
"I thought you would defend me like you did before!" Jane said bothered.
"This isn't about you...Look, dear. The police are being very finicky lately and they are considering contacting special forces or worse, the FBI to investigate The House of Cadaverini. And if I let you execute your revenge, the police might catch you and you'd be a key to ruining my entire business. So I forbid you to take revenge on them. They are not really a threat. I can't take the risk of getting arrested. Jane, that's an order!" Bossi Cadaverini ordered before leaving. Jane threw a tantrum. She literally fell to her knees and started hitting the ground screaming curses.
"CURSE YOU, MOLLY GENTILELLA!"
Back to the Present
"Your father told you to treat Gil like this" Officer Miranda asked.
"Yeah...and he would have stayed with me if it wasn't for that damn Molly" Jane said bothered.
"Well….First of all, it was your fault for abusing your boyfriend. What you feel for him is not love. It's a poisonous obsession. Come to think of it, Gil is better off with Molly than you" Miranda explained.
"Shut up, cop!" Jane slammed the table
"Anyway…..But I do not understand. Your father did not agree with your revenge. But you still took revenge on them, right?" The lobster officer asked.
"Yeah….But my father didn't know... I executed my revenge behind my father's back" Jane started to talk with a sinister tone.
"I see…..I see. Bossi was not directly involved. Fortunately" Officer Miranda said that before there was an awkward silence. Jane gave a wicked smile "Jane? Why are you smiling like that?" Miranda felt uncomfortable. But she decided not to show signs of weakness. Jane could have used that to her advantage.
"Nothing important...Just that we're at the part of the story you've been waiting for...My Favorite Day...The day I almost destroyed the Bubble Guppies...and the day that I destroyed Molly" Jane laughed evilly. She definitely wanted to tell that part of the story. This...will not be good.
