Second Chances : Chapter Four
Carly awakened with a massive headache. She moaned as she sat up on the leather seat. "Where am I?" she asked in confusion. She saw Anna Devane, Robert Scorpio, Michael and Starr seated nearby. She glanced around and saw AJ hovering over her.
"Ohhh my God! It's true! You're alive!" she gasped.
"Yes, Carly. I am alive," said AJ. "But I'm sure you're not happy to see me."
"Damn right I'm not," Carly said venomously. "Leave me the hell alone! And leave Michael alone, too!"
"I'm afraid I can't. I am protecting Michael and everyone he loves," AJ stated.
"Mom, calm down," Michael said as he rushed over to his mother's side. "He's only trying to help. You see, Cesar Faison and Starr's crazy grandmother, Irene Manning are holding a whole bunch of people hostage, including Starr's little girl. AJ's working with Anna and Robert to bring them down."
Carly frowned as she looked at AJ. AJ wasn't really trying to help, was he? Carly's head ached, and she really wasn't feeling well. Seeing AJ alive again had been too much for her.
"Ohhh God, I'm going to throw up," she whimpered.
AJ rushed to her aid, lifting her in his arms and carrying her to the bathroom. He held her hair back as she threw up in the toilet repeatedly. "Ohhh God, I'm so sick," she said after she had finished emptying the contents of her stomach.
"Are you going to be alright, Carly?" AJ asked in concern. He got her a warm washcloth and helped her wipe her lips.
Xxxooo
John and Tea were on their long flight to Switzerland. Tea was fantasizing about meeting up with Victor again, but she feared he'd been angry knowing she had made love to John. John had asked the flight attendant for a blanket. "I am really cold," he told the young woman.
"Here, I hope this makes you more comfortable," she said as she handed him a nice fluffly blanket.
"Thanks," he said with a grin.
He lay the blanket over his lap and Tea's as he leaned over slightly, whispering in her ear. "This is gonna be a long flight, baby. If you get lonely... all you have to do is reach under this blanket and start fondling my cock. I promise, I'll reach under the blanket, too... and I will take care of you."
"Ohhh my God, John!" Tea gasped loudly. "All you can think about is your cock!"
"My husband just came back from the dead and we are on our way to meet him and all you can think about is fucking me!" she screamed.
"That's right, Tea. I'm a man with very powerful needs. I like to fuck. Who cares about Victor. He's been gone for well over year. You don't know where he's been... and who he may have been fucking. He said he's in love with someone else."
Xxxooo
Todd woke up the minute Marty stirred in his embrace. She looked confused and full of anguish as he lay on top of her with his cock completely buried in her tight, wet center. "Marty, I love you," Todd murmured as he caressed her hair. "I've always loved you... and I never meant to hurt you."
"Wh- what happened here last night?" Marty asked tearfully.
"We made love," Todd said to her gently. "You and I are meant to be together... and after what we shared last night, I am never letting you go."
Very carefully, Marty slipped out from underneath Todd's muscular frame. "I- I can't do this," she told him in a trembling voice. "I love you, too, Todd. But what we shared last night can never happen again."
"You're wrong," he said as he pulled her body against his and kissed her. She fought the kiss, but he was too powerful. She went up in flames the moment his tongue entered her mouth.
"Stop, stop..." she pleaded as she pulled away from his hungry lips. "We can't do this. I am sick, Todd. I'm dying. I can't have this... a relationship with you. I have to think of Charlotte. She's my daughter... and she's all that matters. Please, will you take me see her?"
Xxxooo
Charlotte was unconscious as Irene lay her down on a bed in an empty room of her compound. Irene stood over Charlotte, gazing at the beautiful face of her granddaughter. This was Todd's child he had conceived with Marty, the woman he loved above all others. She was determined to make Todd pay through the sweet, innocent autistic girl who lay on the bed.
Faison walked in the room and saw the girl lying on the cot. "Who's this?" he asked as he reached out and caressed the young woman's hair back from her face. "She's lovely. Absolutely exquisite."
"She's my granddaughter. Sweet Charlotte," Irene explained. "Her father has made an incredible mistake. He's betrayed his mother in the worst possible way... and he has to suffer for that. Little Charlotte here must pay the price."
"Won't your son want to kill you if he finds his daughter missing?" Faison asked.
"I hope he does find her missing and he comes here looking for her. I left clues. It won't be long until he's here... and I hope he brings Charlotte's mother with him."
"What purpose will that serve?" asked Faison.
"I've always wanted to torture the woman that stole the heart of both of my sons. What better way than to make her and Todd watch me bringing great pain their offspring," Irene said with an evil laugh.
"We'll start with this little one here. So sweet, so innocent. She won't know what hit her."
"What would you like to do with her?" Faison asked as a wicked smirk broke out on his face.
"I think you know exactly what I would like to do," Irene replied. "I would like you to fuck her. You'll be her first. We'll train her to be a sex slave. Eventually, we'll sell her and make a tremendous amount of profit. In the process, I will get the pleasure of punishing my son."
Faison started playing with the hem of Charlotte's nightie, making it ride up to show her young, shapely leg. "I think I am going to like punishing your son," he spoke in a low growl. "If I am going to fuck her, how would you like it to be done?
Xxxooo
"Are you going to be alright Carly?"
"I'm glad that you're alive for Michael's sake, but if you do anything to hurt him, you'll be answering to me."
"I've changed Carly, my days of hurting you and Michael are over. I'm sorry that I kidnapped and made you think that he was dead. It was the worst thing that I have ever done. Do you think that you'll ever be able to forgive me?"
XOXOXO
"Victor's not in love with anybody else. That's just something you made up to get in my pants. It's not going to work John.
Tea grabbed the Ice out of her cup and reached under the blanket, throwing them in his underwear. "That should cool you down," Tea said as she got up and walked into the bathroom.
Her hands shook as she pulled the pregnancy test out of her purse. She had bought it at the airport pharmacy while John was buying their tickets. Although she was probably just late from the stress that she had been under, she needed to know.
She peed on the stick and waited for the sign to appear.
XOXOXO
"I will take you to see Charlotte, but first I'm taking you to see Doctor Drake. I know that he can help you, because I refuse to let you die," Todd said as he climbed out of bed and began getting dressed.
"I'll meet with Doctor Drake, but It's not going to change anything. He can't help me...nobody can."
"We'll see."
As soon as Marty had gotten dressed, Todd drove her to the hospital.
"Doctor Drake, I need your help. My friend Marty has an inoperable brain tumor that no other surgeon will touch. Will you operate on her?" Todd bluntly asked as he walked up to Patrick.
XOXOXO
"If I am going to fuck her, how would you like it to be done?" Faison stated as he traced her thigh.
"I don't care how you do it, I just want to watch," Irene stated.
"Well, we may as well get started," Faison said. It had been a long time since he had fucked a virgin and the idea of it was making him extremely horny.
He carried her to his bed and used some rope to bound her. He grabbed a pair of scissors and cut off her clothes until she was completely naked.
Irene pulled up a chair so that she could watch everything as Faison removed his clothes.
"What's...what's going on?" Charlotte asked as she woke up and began to whimper.
"I'm going to fuck you," Faison said as he traced the folds of her vagina with his finger.
"No...No...No," Charlotte screamed as everything turned red.
Xxxooo
Staring into AJ's sapphire eyes, Carly said the first words that came to mind. "I'll forgive you if you forgive me for giving you alcohol," Carly stated. "Because of what I did, you started drinking again. My actions caused you to lose the time you should have had with our son."
For a moment, AJ was speechless. He couldn't believe that Carly was finally admitting her faults from the past. Always before, she had made him out to be the enemy. She had said that he was a bad influence for their son. She had never even given him a chance to be Michael's dad.
"We all made a lot of mistakes, Carly," AJ responded. "Now we have to do what is best for Michael. A lot of time has passed, and we have to leave everything that happened in the past behind us."
"I agree," Carly said as she let out a long, pent-up breath. "But I still don't trust you completely. I'm sorry, AJ, but you and I have not always seen eye to eye, and we haven't always agreed on what is best for Michael."
"Our son is a man now, and he can make his own decisions. He's in love with Starr and he's happy. He's going to need our guidance from time to time, but I have faith in him," AJ stated.
"Yes, but what's going to happen when Starr's past love, Cole, and her little girl Hope come back into their lives?"
"I don't know, Carly. I guess we'll just have to see how it plays out."
"I don't want Michael to get his heart broken. He already lost Abby."
"If Michael loses Starr, we'll be there for him. Our son will be alright," AJ assured Carly.
AJ and Carly walked out of the bathroom together. "Are you alright, Mom?" Michael asked her in concern.
"I'm fine," Carly said as she gave Michael a hug.
Starr was agitated as she sat in her seat. She kept thinking of Cole and their precious little girl. All this time she had thought that Cole and Hope had been killed in the car crash, but now that she knew that her evil grandmother and Caesar Faison had been keeping them captive, she didn't know what to think or feel. How would she react when she saw Cole again? Would her sweet little girl even remember her mommy? With tears in her eyes, Starr stared out the window.
"Starr, are you crying?" Michael asked. "What's wrong?"
XOXOXO
After a couple of minutes, a plus sign had appeared on Tea's pregnancy test. "Ohhh my God, I am pregnant!" she gasped. "I am going to have John's baby."
John had just taken the half-melted pieces of ice out of his underwear. He sat down in his seat, huddled up in his blanket. When Tea came back, John could tell that she had been crying.
"Hey, Tea, are you alright?" he asked when she sat down next to him. "Why were in the bathroom for so long?"
XOXOXO
Dr. Drake agreed to help Marty because he couldn't resist a challenge. "I'll have to run a few tests and look over your charts from your previous doctor," Dr. Drake explained. "After I have a chance to look everything over, I will let you know if it's safe to operate."
"Thanks, Dr. Drake. I knew that you could help Marty," Todd said as he shook Patrick's hand.
"I can't guarantee that I can remove the tumor, but I promise that I will see what I can do," Patrick stated. "I am going to write up an order for some lab work. A nurse will come in and draw some blood. We'll take a few x-rays, then I will call you as soon as we know anything."
"Thanks again, Dr. Drake," Marty said as she sat on the exam table.
Dr. Drake left and a nurse came in to draw several vials of Marty's blood. After the blood work was complete, she was sent to radiology for a series of x-rays. Todd waited in the hallway, and he smiled at her when she came out. Marty looked distressed as she got to his side.
"I have a great feeling that Dr. Drake can help you, Marty," Todd said as he tried to give her some reassurance.
"I am not worried about me right now. I'm worried about Charlotte."
"Why? What's wrong?"
XOXOXO
Charlotte let out a blood-curdling scream as her face turned bright red. Her hands were bound, but she kicked out at Faison with all her strength. When her foot made contact with his balls, he was knocked to the floor in pain. "Get up and fuck her!" Irene commanded him.
"I can't," he said as he stood, clutching his sore balls. "Your granddaughter is a little wildcat... and she's going to have to be punished."
Irene laughed, because she knew just the perfect punishment for her defiant granddaughter.
