Chapter 19 (part 2)
Anna:it's not that the point...the problem is another will Tommy want to marry Jude?
Victoria:I don't think he will disappoint her
Anna:that bastard it capable to do anything
Victoria:so then?
Anna:I will talk to Mr Darius so maybe he will convince him
Victoria:he's already back?
Anna:yes
Victoria:so what will you do?
Anna:I solve the problems as always I talk to Darius and then to Chris hoping he didn't talked to Jamie already
Back with Tommy and Darius
Darius:to be honest I didn't think that you would make it
Tommy:but I did
Darius:good, I'm glad for you even if I don't accept the way you acted to get what you wanted
Tommy:it's the method for a low class person
Darius:yes
Tommy:and that's what I am for these persons....a bastard, a thief, a killer but you'll see that when I become a Dutois with a magic I will be a gentleman, respectable, Nobile and generous
Darius:when are you going to get rid of your anger?
Tommy:I don't know ......maybe never
Darius:and what are you going to do after?....you're going to leave?
Tommy:yes
Darius:without trying anything for Sadie right?
Tommy:that is the proposition
Darius:good Tommy but now that you've got the name you desired so much....you have to change life...you have to get rid of your insecurities and what makes you afraid....you have to consider that now you're a son of a two very distinct persons because even your mother was from a rich and Nobile family and how they did a mistake.......you paid for so long for their mistakes
After Mike heard what was said between Sadie and Tommy he went
immediately to his owner Anna to tell her what he heard so maybe he
could get rid of Tommy. The only thing he didn't know is that Anna
already knew about what they talked about maybe not exactly but no
new news. But Anna wasn't in the mood to talk to him so she sent
Luana with a message that told him she didn't have time and that if it
was something important to tell Chris.
In the living room Sadie was making a drink for herself when Jamie
came in.
Jamie:good evening Sadie, it's a good idea a cognac in the evening
Sadie:I'm just frustrated
Jamie:and why?.....you don't like the life in the fields?
Sadie:yes, but to be more honest I prefer to live near the beach
Jamie:so why don't you tell Chris?.....I don't think it will be that hard to convince Chris
Sadie:it's not only him I have to convince even my mother in law...do you understand
Jamie:you're right that is more difficult......ok so what do you say to make a toast to celebrate
Sadie:celebrate what?
Jamie:what no one told you?......I'm going to marry your sister
Sadie:yes, Chris told me
Jamie:and what is your impression, do you approve or not?
Sadie:I think it's a good idea even if I always thought that the ideal woman for you would be different from Jude
Jamie:and why?
Sadie:because my sister has to be a very annoying person
Jamie:in the intimate?
Sadie:don't be so arrogant
Jamie:no, I don't think so ....the women that are difficult in my opinion are the most passion persons
Sadie:I have my doubts that it will be like that with my sister....she's cold like the ice
Jamie:and you...how are you?
Sadie:please you're really acting arrogant today
Jamie:I thought we could talk without any trouble of everything....Sadie you're a married women so you know men
Sadie:yes, but your question was too indiscreet
Jamie:you know if I was rich I would have never left Chris marry you
Sadie:stop it now please
Jamie:but it's the truth....I always liked you and you knew it......but at least we can see each other as family
Sadie:yes, that's true
Jamie:we make a toast then?
Anna was in her room waiting for Darius so they could talk about the
two things she needed from him.
Darius:good evening Mrs Anna, how are you?
Anna:good and you?
Darius:good thanks.....I talked to Tommy and he told me that you're ready to accept him as the son of Mr Stuart and give him your name
Anna:yes, it's like that I thought about it and I think it's the right thing to do....Tommy said it just a sign on some papers in front of a judge nothing else is required is it true?
Darius:yes, the law gets consideration about these things...of course the testimony has to be a person with right names and of course no one will doubt of your word
Anna:it's not necessary a written document?
Darius:if you have one that will be even better
Anna:no, I have nothing....ok then when are we going to see the judge?
Darius:when you want....but does Chris knows about this decision?
Anna:no, it's a big thing to tell him and I will be grateful if you help me
Darius:of course and if you want I can even be the one to tell him
Anna:yes, but I want to be present
Darius:sure
Anna:but first we have to talk about what we're going to tell him...I don't want him to know that I knew even when his father was still alive
Darius:ok how you wish
Anna:I wish that Tommy doesn't accept a part of my husband's inherits
Darius:Tommy is rich of himself
Anna:rich?
Darius:he has his shares all fruit of his work
Anna:I can imagine how he got it steeling.....ok but I have another thing that I need your help in it
Darius:tell me I'm at your orders
Anna:no one knows Tommy better than you and I'm sure you will find the right words to convince him to marry Jude
Darius:Jude?....but why?
Anna:because that's what she wants
After a little more talk between them Darius left and went to tell
Tommy.
Darius:you see Chris saw you two a little bit too much together and so he offered to let her marry Jamie
Tommy:is she going to marry him?
Darius:no, wait a minute I haven't finished, the fact is that Jude doesn't want to marry him....she prefers to marry you
Tommy:with me?
Darius:yes, exactly and Mrs Anna and Mrs Victoria are both ok with it...of course Jude already knows that you're the son of Stuart Dutois and that you will have his name
Tommy laughed at this.
Darius:why are you laughing?
Tommy:because know I'm a good type for one of her class
Darius:I don't want to go where your head always goes but I think it's a good proposition and Jude is a good girl and...
Tommy:ok
Darius:what?
Tommy:I said ok...I accept to marry the distinct Jude Harrison
Meanwhile in Jude's room Jude was talking to her mother.
Jude:and if he doesn't want to marry me?
Victoria:why wouldn't he?
Jude:I don't know but I think he's still likes Sadie.....I only wish that Aunty Anna didn't tell him that it was my idea...if Tommy finds out I will die of humiliation
Victoria:don't worry Mr Darius knows how to be discreet but I'm afraid Jude
Jude:of what?
Victoria:Tommy's position will change with his name that I know but he will always remain the same man
Jude:what are you saying?
Victoria:that he's violent, arrogant...I'm afraid he will never has the class to be near a girl like you
Jude:I saw in him generosity did you remember how he treated Angelica?.....with care and gentleness
Victoria:yes, that's true....I don't know what to tell you...maybe Jamie was a better husband
Jude:but all this we're doing it because of Sadie mum not because I want a husband
Victoria:yes, I know...and I'm sorry for you that you had to make this sacrifice
Jude's thoughts:sacrifice?...am I really scarifying myself?.....or I'm doing it because I love Tommy?
In that moment Sadie came in.
Sadie:I was searching you in your room mum, Mr Darius is here and he wants to say hi he's in the living room waiting for you
Victoria:thanks
With that she left and now the sisters were left alone.
Sadie:you're a monster Jude and jealous....why did you talked so bad about me to Tommy?
Jude:I?....it was him that expressed himself about you so insulting
Sadie:and you were the one that helped him
Jude:and what does this change?....what does it matter to you what Tommy thinks about you?....have you seen him?
Sadie:of course and even after what you told him when I call him he comes to me like a lost puppy....whatever you do you will never separate him from me....because it's me who he loves
With that she left and Jude again had thoughts.
Jude's thoughts:'she right he does love her....and I'm even jealous of her.....I spent too much time with him and it got to me....I already felt something for him and now I fell even more and I'm not sure that I can go back if he says no....I don't know if I can fall for someone else like I fell for him'
In the living room Darius and Victoria were talking.
Victoria:did Tommy accept?
Darius:yes, yes he accepted but I have one question for you....don't think I want to be indiscreet....you have to know that I'm very interested in Jude's happiness....ok I think there's something more in this situation.....is it true that Jude wants to marry Tommy?
Victoria:yes
Darius:and why?
Victoria:because she has a great esteem of him
Darius:forgive me if I continue to insist but the situation that had created with Sadie has something to do with this marriage? ...Jude is making this decision so she can separate her sister from Tommy?
Victoria:yes, but please to him don't say anything
Darius:fine....I go to communicate to Mrs Anna that Tommy accepted to marry Jude
In Jude's room Jude was praying that Tommy will say yes and will not
humiliate her like Chris did. Her mother came in.
Jude:what happened mum?.... what did Mr Darius told you?
Victoria:Tommy said yes...he will be your husband
Meanwhile in Tommy's room his friends were talking about stuff but
Tommy wasn't paying attention.
Tommy:Kyle knows everything but I want all of you to know too...my father was Stuart Dutois and I'm going to be legally his son....I wanted to tell you that soon I will marry Jude Harrison too
In Chris's office Chris, Anna and Darius were talking.
Chris:do you think that Leopardi had to do with those papers that went in fire?
Darius:I don't exclude it but the good thing is that they are free now........ok ahh....look Chris me and your mother we're here because ewe needed to tell you something but before we start I want to tell you to not judge from what you hear....I want you to be generous and to not judge anyone
Chris:you're scaring me what is it about?
Darius:do you remember when your father brought Tommy here in the mansion?
Chris:yes
Darius:then you remember that he wanted him to grow up here with you and that he lives near you as a brother?
Chris:yes, I already know that
Darius:yes, but you don't that Tommy, he is too son of your father
Chris:he's my brother?
Anna:your step brother to be exact your father and I weren't married yet but we were engaged when he met a..
Darius:a lady please
Chris:and Tommy was born from that relationship?
Darius:the husband of that lady when he found out that the baby wasn't his he didn't wanted to give him his name...not only but he didn't even wanted to baptism him, your father didn't know about this boy until that guy died....he went for the boy and brought him here...were you and Tommy first met....now your mother remembering the last words of your father with a generous and honoured gesture she decided to give him your name Tommy will be Tommy Dutois
Chris:Tommy a Dutois?
