Chapter 19 (part 1)
Chris:and who else could it be?
Anna:wasn't she the one that admitted it
Victoria:yes, but...
Chris:don't worry about it Aunty the marriage with Jamie will solve everything
Anna:and why with Jamie?
Chris:and whom else could it be Tommy?......he so low compared to her, with no name......she will forget about him you'll see
Anna:I think it's the best option what do you think Victoria?
Without even saying a word Victoria left.
Chris:it's incredible I never expected it from Jude and you wanted me to marry her?.......of what I heard this relationship with Tommy has been going on for a long time.....even before I came back from Europe...mum I wasn't going to ask this to my Aunty but....do you think that between Tommy and Jude something happened....something that can't be repaired?
Anna:no, I don't think so
Chris:because if Jamie marries her and then he finds out
Anna:no, you don't have to worry about that I know Jude
Chris:I'm not sure I know Tommy and the way he thinks....and if he lands his eyes on woman he doesn't do it to just talk to her
Anna:no, I can even put my hand on the fire for her
Chris:I wish you're right because I'm going to talk to Jamie
Anna:you can do it without worry
Chris:fine.....anyway I decided to tell Tommy to leave
Anna:no, you better wait some days, you don't want him to take revenge and say something about Jude that can make her in bad image.....for now just pretend that nothing happened
Chris:do you think it's easy?
Meanwhile Quest and Wally were resting near a tree when they heard
some of the servants calling their name and they told them that Tommy
was searching for them. They were afraid that it was just another false
things so they waited. Quest decided to look to the group that were
now more close to they and he saw Tommy. In that moment they get
out from their hide and Tommy who saw them immediately went to
help them and took them back to the mansion with him.
Back at the mansion Victoria went in Anna's room to talk to her.
Victoria:it's not fear
Anna:fear?.......it's not fear what you and your daughters did to us....if you or Jude told me what kind of person is Sadie I would have never let him marry her
Victoria:it was his fault he was the one that pulled of the engagement with Jude....and after all she doesn't want to get married she already told me
Anna:I talk to her don't worry and after all Jamie is a good guy.....at least she will not be lonely and she can have children, it's the best thing believe me........at least Chris thought they were talking of Jude because otherwise........don't be so worried Jude will have a husband what do you want more?.........on the other hand me I have to give the name to that bastard
Victoria:what?
Anna:that's what he wants for his silence...........do you believe it...all because of your daughter.....I have to accept that Tommy is the son of Stuart......don't you think that Jude has the least sacrifice not like me and Chris that has to confront this humiliation?
Victoria:fine, but its better if I tell Jude....now excuses me
Victoria left and went in Jude's room to talk to her. Jude was already
preparing her bag so they can leave.
Victoria:what are you doing sweetie?
Jude:Aunty Anna wants us to leave
Victoria:sit down I need to talk to you
Jude:why?....what happened?.....what did Chris wanted?
Victoria:it seems that Chris heard a conversation between Tommy and Angelica
Jude:they were talking about Sadie?
Victoria:yes, but luckily Chris did knew and the conversation was one bad situation for your sister
Jude:why?....what did they say?
In the meantime at Chris Office.
Jamie:you wanted to talk to me?
Chris:yes, have a sit please......a few days ago you told me you were interested in Jude
Jamie:yes, I told you that I like her
Chris:I talked to Aunty Victoria and asked her hand in marriage for you
Jamie:wow, you could have asked before
Chris:why, you changed your mind?
Jamie:no, it's not that
Chris:then what you're going to take your words back now that I already told Aunty Victoria?....or you're worried because you saw her talking to Tommy?
Jamie:sorry but I don't like the rest others leave
Chris:please....Jude is a wonderful and intelligent woman and she will never fall for some flirting of that kind of guys
Jamie:yes, that's true but you know as me that when a woman falls for someone...
Chris:it's not Jude's case.....and how I'm the only male in the family I decided to give her a good present for her marriage
Jamie:in that case the thing is more interested
Chris:you're so ....
Back in Jude's room
Jude:he wants me to get married to Jamie?
Victoria:yes
Jude:no, no mum I already told you that I don't want to get married and more with a person that I don't have any interest in him
Victoria:but Jamie is intelligent and he comes from a good family
Jude:but it's not for that mum.....we're different, we think different
Victoria:but in the end you....
Jude:no, and it's not fear that I have to pay for things my sister did
Victoria:Aunty Anna said that it was the best thing to do so Chris will not suspect of her
Jude:Chris is convinced that they were talking about me so why don't we leave things in this way?
Victoria:the fact is that they think that if you get married you will not fall for him and do something you can't go back from.....please Jude I understand you and I know it's not fear but I have to confess that I don't know what else can we do....and then if you refuse Jamie they are going to tell you about others until you find one
Jude:mum I don't want to get married and Aunty Anna knew that they weren't talking about me
Victoria:they will not leave you alone I know them.....Chris thinks he has the right now because he's the only man in this family and your Aunty she's furious.....did you know that she even has to accept Tommy as Stuart's son?
Jude:what?
Victoria:that's what he wanted so he could keep silence and say nothing to Chris about Sadie and him
Jude:so he's not going to escape with her anymore
Victoria:if he accepted the proposition that Anna gave him I don't think so......or you think he's betraying her and that after he got his name he will ask Sadie to leave with him?
Jude:I don't know
In Anna's room Anna asked Mike to come in her room so they can talk.
Anna:what did you wanted to talk to me about that was so urgent?
Mike:I had enough of that Tommy, this morning he slapped me in front of the servants and I can't do it anymore
Anna:you have to and even more if you want to stay here
Mike:why?
Anna:because in a few days that man will be Tommy Dutois
Mike:you're going to give him Mr Stuart's name?
Anna:he's his son
Mike:yes, but why?
Anna:because I have no other choice
Mike:tell me one word and I kill him
Anna:you think you can?
Mike:I can betray him and do it then now it's easy while his searching for the prisoners
Anna:no
Mike:why not?....if he dies all the problems will die with him
Anna:I said no
Mike:so then?
Anna:then nothing...after he gets his name he will leave.....we have to be patient for a few more days
Mike:does Mr Chris know?
Anna:no, I will tell him when Mr Darius comes
Mike:I wish you'll change your mind Mrs
In Chris's office Jamie left and Chris was thinking on the sofa when
Sadie came in.
Chris:you're beautiful...you don't know how lucky I am that I married you
Sadie:why?......why are you saying it like this?
Chris:because I found out something really bad
Sadie:what?
Chris:I found out that for a while your sister had a relationship with Tommy
In Jude's room Anna went to talk to Jude about her marriage with Jamie
but Jude didn't wanted.
Jude:I will not marry him
Anna:I'm sorry but you can't decide you have to do it
Jude:you know that I did nothing and that they were talking about Sadie so it's not fear
Anna:you're not going to destroy all the things I did to hide what your sister did
Jude:you said it yourself my sister's not mine
Victoria:Anna please
Anna:shut up you
Jude:no, you shut up and you have no right to talk to my mother like this
Victoria:Jude please
Jude:no, mother we're not going to be treated like this, if it was Sadie's fault then she should be the one to pay
Anna:what you want to tell Chris?.....go tell him how the three of you betrayed him......go so everyone will know that you three are a bitches
Victoria:enough Anna
Anna:what you're going to reply now....everyone will know that Chris married a bitch and that her future children will be the children of a whore....and that because of this I had to give the name of my family to that bastard Tommy Quincy....this is all your fault......if you have a little dignity and conscious in you....you will not be like this
Back in Chris's office
Sadie:I think it's a good idea to let Jude marry Jamie
Chris:yes, I think it's the best idea too
Sadie:I told you so ,my sister is a hypocrite
Chris:yes, but you even told me that she was in love with me
Sadie:that's what she let me think.....she wanted to hurt me....she always was angry because you break the engagement with her because of me......and what about Tommy?
Chris:after he almost dishonoured you sister I will not let him stay here
Sadie left the office and went in the garden waiting for Tommy to get
back. When she saw him she went to talk to him.
Sadie:Tommy we need to talk
Tommy:I have no time right now
Sadie:it's something important....Chris heard you when you were talking about me with Angelica but he's convinced that you were talking about Jude....it's necessary that we talk I will be here in the garden....don't be late
Tommy left and went in Chris's office.
Tommy:I'm sorry I didn't made it this morning like we said but I went to search for my friends and I found them
Chris:I'm glad you did
Tommy:Mr Darius must be here today so we can see what news he has from the prison.....so what did you wanted to talk about?
Chris:it doesn't matter anymore
In Jude's room
Victoria:see it the way you want but your Aunty is right.....it's all our fault....I don't want to make you do it but you really need to think about getting married, if you don't want Jamie then think about someone else....Jude what will you do when I'm not here
Jude:don't talk like that
Victoria:it's the truth and it's something you need to think about....do you want to stay alone?.....do you want to come here and take care of your sister's children?.....it's that what you want to stay here with Chris, Sadie and Aunty Anna?
Jude:mum do you think that if I get married the problem will be resolved?......and what if Tommy and Sadie will find a way to continue seeing each other?
Victoria:no, I don't think your sister...
Jude:you don't think?.....I do and if I'm going to do it then I will do it but it will be to resolve this.....I mean it has to be the end of this situation
Victoria:what are you saying Jude?
Jude:the only way to make Sadie forget about Tommy is that I marry him
Victoria:but you can't go so low
Jude:go low?...no, mother I'm talking about Tommy Dutois not of Tommy Quincy
In the garden Tommy went to talk to Sadie.
Sadie:and they are going to make her marry Jamie...don't you think it's nice?
Tommy:to tell you the truth no
Sadie:what are you saying for her she got lucky....it's better be married then remain lonely....of course Chris had to give a good present to convince Jamie
Tommy:you solve everything with the money right?
Sadie:men are money
Tommy:so that's why Jude told Chris she was in love with me?
Sadie:for him she's ready to do everything.....she will even dishonour herself
Tommy:and she accepted to marry Jamie?
Sadie:I don't know but I don't think she will refuse.....she should be happy that finally she found a husband even if it was for this case........I was thinking something Tommy...maybe it's good you'll leave....when Jude will get married my mother will be lonely and with the excuse to make her some company I will tell Chris to stay some days at my mum's house at the beach......so we can see each other without anyone around
Tommy:in other words when you had enough in your husband's bed you want to get in mine
Sadie:don't talk like this Tommy.....why can't you be more reasonable....I can't escape with you it will be crazy and it's not necessary
While they were talking Mike saw them and went to see what they
were saying without letting anyone see him.
Sadie:why you're not saying anything?
Tommy:I came with the idea to get away with you even if I had to kill Chris but then I understood that I could get something better, more important
Sadie:more important than me?
Tommy:you're not important anymore to me....now that I know you better I know that you're not worth it
Sadie:how can you talk to me like this?........it's because of Jude right?....for that bitch that was always jealous of me.....I can imagine how many bad things she told you about me....she did everything to separate us she told me herself......do you want to know what she told me?.....to separate us she was even ready to be your lover to keep you away from me....but so you know she hates you....she thinks you're arrogant, a thief, a killer....but with you she acts like a saint and you're so stupid to believe her
Without saying anything Tommy left.
In Tommy's room Darius arrived and was talking to Tommy's friends
that were all in his room.
Darius:I see you found them finally......look I have good news for you too....Leopardi to solve the problem he decided to put the papers on fire....of course he said that it was an accident.....but since all the papers are destroyed your friends are free
Tommy:a good way how to get out of trouble
Darius:and you what do you tell me about you?
Tommy:come we need to talk
In Anna's room with Victoria
Victoria:and if she has to get married she wants to marry Tommy so neither him or Sadie will try to do something stupid.....you're still with the idea to give him your name right?
Anna:it's not that the point...the problem is another will Tommy want to marry Jude?
