Chapter 14

Patrick got home feeling drained. Elizabeth offered to stay with him but he declined. He sat on the couch and grabbed the wedding photo. His chest tightened and he breathed deep. All this time he grieved for the love of his life while she had been on the other side of the world under Jerry's thumb.

He set the picture down. He looked up towards the ceiling and rubbed his face. His world was imploding once again. He'd finally moved on and now she was back. His heart was shattering. He had no idea what Jerry put her through and that Robin he saw and spoke to was a shell.

His doorbell rang. "Patrick, it's me," Elizabeth said.

He got up and opened the door. "Hey," she said softly.

"Hey," he replied. She walked in setting her purse on the recliner. "Emma is with Anna. Patrick, I know this is hard."

"Hard? Liz, my wife was taken from us. She was alone and scared and I couldn't help her. You know Emma said mommy was on the phone one day. I thought she was just saying that. I could have helped then but I didn't. She was trying to reach out to me. I was too stupid to realize it wasn't a game on Emma's part. Now, Robin is lost to me," he said his voice breaking.

She sat him down. "Patrick, none of this is your fault. Nobody would have expected this. All we can do is thank God she's alive. We are going to get our Robin back. She's a Scorpio. Nothing stops that family."

He sniffled. "My head knows that but my heart is tearing apart. There's no telling what Jerry made her do. I mean Anna said she tried to kill Sonny. That sounds more like Jason."

Elizabeth stayed silent.

"What if she doesn't remember? What if I'm not able to get her back? What if she doesn't love me anymore?"

She took his face in her hands. "Listen to me. You and Robin are going to be okay. It may take time but I have faith in the both of you." He shook his head. "Come here," she said. He put his head in her lap. "Robin is coming back to us."

At the Metro Court, Anna walked in to see Duke working. He smiled when he looked up but he knew something was off. "How are my two favorite girls?" he asked.

"Good," Emma said.

Anna smiled but didn't say anything. "Emma, sweetheart, why don't you go in the back and I'll be in there in a minute." Emma skipped off happily.

"Anna, what's wrong?" Duke asked concerned.

She let out a breath. "There's no easy way to say this but to say it. Robin is alive," she whispered.

He looked at her stunned. "What?"

"I saw her at Sonny's. Patrick and Elizabeth saw her too. Duke, we were so close and I failed her again. I should know better. I'm a spy and I should have done more. Jerry had her in Rome. He brainwashed her."

Duke couldn't believe his ears. "You're serious."

Anna nodded. "Apparently Luke saw her in Germany. He told Jax and Sonny but I don't think they believed it until last night. Robin tried to take out Sonny and there's a possibility that she might be involved with the Franco situation."

He pulled her into a hug and she let out a small cry. "Where is she now?"

She pulled back. "Sonny's. She doesn't trust any of us. Where else is she going to go? That Robin is not my daughter. I saw the change in her eyes when I said I was a cop. Whatever happened to her has made her darker."

Anna sat on the couch. "I still need to tell Mac, Felicia and Maxie. I don't even know where to begin."

Duke nodded. "Maybe I can help."

"Thank you but she's been overwhelmed with adults as it is. I mean we had her funeral and some psycho took her."

"Did she give you any hints?" Duke asked.

"Yes, she saw Robert. Guess who showed her. Dr. Obrecht and of course Jerry. They told her that Robert was a bad man. She took his word." Anna's eyes widened at the realization of what Robert was trying to tell her.

"He saw her and he tried to rescue her," Anna muttered. She looked at Duke. "That doctor put Robert in a coma because he saw Robin," she choked out. She jumped up and grabbed her keys.

"Anna, where are you going?"

"To see Britt Westbourne," Anna said sternly.

The closer she got to Britt's home the angrier she got. She knocked on the door and Felix answered. "Is Britt here?" she asked.

"No, she'll be back in a few."

"Do you have something to do? I need to speak with Britt alone," she said. Felix knew better than to contradict whatever Anna suggested. Felix grabbed his keys and left. Anna sat on the couch waiting.

Britt came in 30 minutes later. "Commissioner," she said. "How did you get in here?"

"Felix. You and I need to discuss your mother."

Britt rolled her eyes. "I thought we've discussed my mother enough."

Anna chuckled. "Did you know your mother was involved with Jerry Jacks?"

She looked at her confused. "Involved how?"

"Kidnapping and holding a hostage," Anna replied.

Britt sighed. "Whatever else my mother has done has nothing to do with me."

Anna tilted her head to the side. "She kidnapped my daughter," she sneered. She watched Britt's face contort into a look of surprise.

"I thought she died," she said softly.

"So did we. Your mother is going to pay and you can't stop me from killing her," she said growling.

"You can't do that," Britt cried.

"You and your mother have done nothing but caused pain. That brilliant plan to pass the baby off as Patrick's was low."

"It doesn't matter considering he was stillborn," she said.

"I'm sorry about that. Just know I'm going after your mother." Anna left and Britt let out a sigh.

"What have you done mother?"

Sabrina walked into Patrick's house to find Elizabeth there. "Elizabeth?"

"Hi Sabrina," she replied.

"Is there something going on with Emma?"

"No. It's Patrick. It's been a rough day." Sabrina looked confused.

"What happened?" Patrick came out of the kitchen and Sabrina's concern grew.

"I'll just go." She hugged Patrick. "Call me," she whispered. She excused herself.

"Patrick what's happening?"

He grabbed her hand and sat her on the couch. "I found out something today. It's concerning Robin. She's alive."

Sabrina leaned back. "What are you talking about?"

"This man, Jerry Jacks, kidnapped her and he took her to Rome. He made us all think she was dead. I saw her today."

Sabrina let go of his hand. She wasn't sure how to process this information. "I need to go," she said.

"Wait, Sabrina, we need-

She quickly clutched her purse and left. She got to her apartment and just sat there. Robin was alive. Now, there was no chance for them.

"Looks like I'm not the only one who just lost Patrick," Britt said noticing her demeanor.

Sabrina glared at her. "Shut up Britt. None of this is funny."

"I know. With Mrs. Drake in the picture, your little perfect life with Patrick is all but over."

Sabrina felt hot tears running down. Britt was right. "Wait, how'd you know?"

"Commissioner Devane told me after throwing accusations," she answered.

"Did you have something to do with this? You ripped a family apart!"

"First of all, I didn't. Secondly, I had no idea about Robin being alive," Britt shot back. "As much as I hate you, I feel sorry for you. At least you had him for a while."

Sabrina went to her room and shut the door. She sat on the edge of the bed. How could this be happening? Everything she wanted just slipped through her fingers.
