After the toasts to the bride and groom by the maid of honor and best man, respectively, the festivities continued with a live band. Maggie was getting a drink when "What are you doing here?" Erica asked infuriated.
"Hmmm I thought it was pretty obvious.. I am the maid of honor as you can…," Maggie answered trying to be polite.
"That's not what I meant!" Erica interrupted. "What are you doing back in Pine Valley?"
Maggie getting annoyed replied "Well I never knew I was exiled from Pine Valley! I am here attending my cousin's wedding!"
"What, you couldn't make an excuse so you don't have to show your face here again?" Erica spat.
"First of all I don't have to make any excuses I can go wherever I want whenever I want! Secondly, they are my only family and I am here to support them. Thirdly, I don't care who sees my face! I have nothing to hide and I'm done hiding!"
"Wow look at you! Being a doctor sure gave you some leverage, I bet you have grown some doctor's ego now… just like your cousin. But that doesn't change the fact that you are still a two-faced lying tramp!
"Look who's talking! Don't go all mighty on me Erica. Your reputation is not exactly pristine white. In fact your way worse than I, so before you go on judging me looking for some trash try looking in the mirror first you might be surprised of all the garbage you'll find!"
"You little bitch!"
"If you got nothing more to say Erica I'm done talking to you!"
"Yeah that's it! That's where you're good at right Maggie? Run when the going gets tough! Well I hope you climb under the rock where you came from and never come back. You have caused my daughter and granddaughter too much heartache to last a lifetime!"
"You don't know what you're talking about," Maggie sneered in a low deathly voice.
"Oh I know! I know that you cheated on Bianca, that you left her and Miranda to be with another tramp like..
"Enough!" Maggie cut-off menacingly. "I have taken all the crap that you threw at me the last time I came here, God knows I believe I deserve all that. But enough is enough. You weren't there, you don't know anything that went down between us so stay out of it!"
"Stay out of it?! Bianca is my daughter and whatever or whoever hurts my daughter will have to answer to me!"
"Look I know I made a mistake! Probably the worst mistake I've ever done in my entire life that I've paid dearly for and believe it or not I'm still paying for up to now. I've already begged.. begged for forgiveness numerous times! I'm sorry if I hurt them, God knows I'll do anything to take that all away but I can't and I can only do so much…" Maggie sighed heavily. "What more do you want from me Erica?" Maggie asked and in a soft voice continued, "Bianca has already moved on. She has made herself her own family now and from the looks of it she is happy! What are you still fussing about?"
"Yes she is happy no thanks to you! Thankfully she met Reese who loves her unconditionally!" Erica spat and seeing the effect of mentioning Reese to Maggie Erica decided to rub it in. "Reese is wonderful, she makes Bianca very happy! She's very devoted to her and their children Miranda and Gabby!" Erica smirked with a flip of her hair.
"Oh yes the cool and amazing Reese!" Kendall suddenly interrupted which surprised them both.
"Kendall!" Erica exclaimed. "I was just telling Maggie here what a beautiful family Bianca now has no thanks to her." Erica explained. "And if she knows what's best for her, she'd stay away from Bianca!" Erica continued looking back at Maggie.
"You can't threaten me! If you knew me at all you know that it will take a lot more than that if I really wanted to see her. Bianca is a big girl and it's her decision to make if she wanted to see me or not, you on the other hand have no say on the matter," Maggie said.
"Well don't say I didn't warn you," Erica warned before turning to leave.
Kendall who just watched with amusement at the exchange is now looking at Maggie with a smirk on her face. Maggie who can't stand it any longer feeling like a bug under a microscope finally asked "What?! Are you gonna rip me a new one too? If you are, bring it on and let's all get it over with I don't have all night!"
TBC…
