Chapter 17 (part 1)

In the meantime in town Darius went to the prison to talk to Captain

Leopardi. Darius told him about Quest, Wally and Speed and that Chris

has no records of their sentence and he wanted to see the files. Of

course Captain Leopardi wasn't going to let Darius see their files

because there were no files so he invented the fact that there was an

accident with fire that destroyed all the files.

Darius was a very talented lawyer and he knew Leopardi and his

techniques and that he was ready to do anything for money and to

destroy Tommy's life. So he asked if there was going to be another

sentence for them but Leopardi told him that they were free and no

other sentence. Without another word said Darius left he was satisfied

enough that the guys were free and that all that matter even if he knew

that Tommy will try to make Leopardi pay for what he did to his friends.

At the mansion Anna was in her room and told Luana to ask Victoria to

come and talk to her. After a few minutes Victoria went in Anna's room

knocked at the door and entered.

Victoria:if you wanted to ask about Tommy I already talked to Sadie and she's going to talk to him.

Anna:have you talked to anyone about the identical look of that guy with my husband?

Victoria:no

Anna:I want you to tell me the truth

Victoria:just to Jude

Anna:I want to be honest with you....you know how much I loved Stuart even with his rude character and with his affairs. One of his whores gave birth to a child and that child was Tommy Quincy.....I felt offended when I found out and I still am so I don't want you to tell anyone not Jude and especially not Sadie

Victoria:don't worries I will tell no one.....does Chris know?

Anna:no and he don't have to find out....he's too good and he will accept his brother and even tell him to stay here with us and I will never permit that to happen

Victoria:so what are you going to do?

Anna:I offered him some money

Victoria:and he accepted?

Anna:no, he's trying to be difficult so I make the sum higher

Victoria:I'm sorry for what's happening to you Anna

Anna:don't be instead try and fix what you told Jude and keep your mouth shut

At Florido's house Mercedes was brought there by a servant who was

with Tommy. She was crying and afraid for what happened to Angelica

and what was going to happen to her grandpa when Mike will find out

that she ran away.

At the mansion in the kitchen Luana and Amelia were talking. Luana

told Amelia that she thinks that Sadie did something to Chris that made

him fall in love with her instead of her sister and Amelia wasn't sure

what to think anymore after she found out that Sadie did something to

make Chris believe that she was still a virgin.

Angelica was walking toward the mansion she wasn't feeling well and

she didn't know if she will make there but she was trying. She was

about to get near the gate when she fell without any strength left.

Jude was sitting in the garden reading a book when she felt someone

behind her and she turned and in that moment she saw a girl on the floor and went towards her. She bent down next to the girl and she noticed that she was Angelica. Immediately Jude went to call help and took Angelica in her room. Victoria saw them and went after them.

Victoria:what happened Jude?

Jude:she's Angelica mum the one that escaped from the convent

Victoria:the one that told you about Sadie?

Jude:yes

Victoria:where did you find her?

Jude:near the gate....god she has high temperature we need to do something to help her

Victoria:I will get her some medicine......Jude don't you think that it's dangerous to leave her here...she can say something about Sadie

Jude:mum please she not felling good....just go get me the medicine and some water

At mike's house mike was talking to Jamie about the prisoners.

Mike:the prisoner escaped

Jamie:fuck can't you do something good?

Mike:Mrs Anna seems that she's pulling back from the plan

Jamie:I noticed and I don't know why.....do you know anything?

Mike:nothing

Jamie:are you sure?

Mike:the only thing I know is that she told me that she was going to send him away with right word

Jamie:and why is that?

Back in Jude's room

Jude:the temperature is too high it's better if we call for a doctor

Victoria:but this is not our house Jude...we have to ask for permission from Chris or Anna and I don't think they are going to help a girl from the streets

Jude:but she's sick and she can die

Victoria:I know but...and after all I need to talk to you about something that your Aunty Anna told me

Jude:later now I need to find Tommy

And with that she left in search of Tommy. In the corridor she saw

Sadie.

Jude:have you seen Tommy?

Sadie:why do you want him?

Jude:have you seen him yes or no?

Sadie:he went to search for the prisoners but I don't know if he's back

Without saying anything to Sadie Jude left. In the kitchen Mike found

out that there was a new girl in Jude's room and that she's sick. Mike

asked of her name and Amelia told him. In that moment Jude came in

and told Mike to go call a doctor and she asked if he knew where

Tommy was and Mike answered no.

Mike who was afraid that everything was going to get out he went in

Jude's room and there he found Victoria and Angelica. He told Victoria

that Jude asked him to take Angelica to a doctor and he was going to

pick her up when Tommy and Jude came in the room.

Tommy ordered Mike to go and call a doctor and then he tried to call

Angelica to see if she wakes up.

Tommy:Angelica.....Angelica it's me Tommy

Angelica:Tommy

Tommy hugged her to him and Jude stood up from the bed and was

staring at them. She saw how caring Tommy was with his friend and

happy to see her and she got jealous and she didn't knew why or

maybe she knew but wasn't ready to admit it.

Mike went to Robert to tell him what happened and that Angelica was

with Tommy at the mansion. Robert was afraid that she would tell

Tommy what he did to her but Mike told him that she was very sick and

she even can die. Mike told him to leave the town for some time but

Robert was planning other things after all they knew about the secret

that Tommy was Stuart's son and they could take advantage of this

situation.

Teasers for chapter 17 (part 2)

Tommy:if Angelica lives it will not be because of the doctor, medicines or anything else but because of you

He took Jude's hands in his and looked in her eyes.

Tommy:and these hands that are capable of any miracle

Tommy kissed Jude's hands. Jude was taken aback by the gesture but

she felt happy and her hands felt right in his.

Jamie:nothing she just went after him and if I'm not wrong she's still in his room

Chris:Tommy's room?

Chris:is Jude here?

Tommy:yes

Tommy:why?...............why?....what do you see so inappropriate?....she came to see a sick girl and help her

Tommy:do you think I'm that type of a guy that throw himself at the first woman he sees?

Chris:don't talk like that in front of her
