Secrets
Amity Park prison for women
"Hey, daddy…" Paulina mumbled and looked down at the metal table, staring at the glass separating her from her father, and her freedom.
"You, stupid girl!" Jose said and glared at his daughter, "I might have been able to get you parole! But you tried to kill Ember right in front of the judge!"
"Daddy…" Paulina mumbled as she held the phone, "Can't you fix this?"
"If I could fix it I would! But you foolish girl! You tried to kill someone and enslave the other" Jose said and shook his head, "Mija, do you realise what you have done?"
"I was taking back what was mine! Daddy, I thought you understood!" Paulina said getting closer to the glass, "You must help me!"
"And that was my biggest mistake," he said with a stern glare
"Daddy!" Paulina said placing her hand on the glass, she didn't want to lose the last thing she held dear, besides money, Danny, and Ember's death.
"I've made a mistake on helping you! And because of you! I've lost many investors and my stocks are going down!" Jose shouted and getting up, "I'm losing billions because of you!"
"DADDY!" Paulina shouted and getting up as well, making the guards take action and sit her down.
"MY COMPANY IS GOING BANKRUPT BECAUSE OF YOU! NO ONE WANTS TO INVEST WITH ME! AND I'M CUTTING YOU OFF! YOU'LL NEVER GET WHATEVER IS LEFT OF MY MONEY" he shouted slamming the phone onto the table and left in a rage. Paulina shouted before being pulled away by the guards, she couldn't believe her daddy... He daddy was acting like this... Her daddy cut…. No, he practically disowned her.
Glitter's home
"I need dirt on him" Glitter mumbled and walked back and forth in her living room, trying to think of anything she could use against this loser!
"I'll just use one loser to find more information on another" Glitter smirk and went to her phone, she dialled Douglas's number and waited for a response.
"What?" Douglas asked sitting at his desk and reading the information he had on Christopher, "Well?"
"I want some dirt on Andrew whatever," she said gripping the phone
"Andrew whatever? How stupid are you? I'm going to need more shit than whatever" Douglas said taking the photo and looking at him, "This isn't the time"
"HEY! Don't forget about our goal!" Glitter shouted
"Shut up!" Douglas shouted back placing the photo down, "I have a change of heart! I'm done working with you"
"What?! What brought this up?!" Glitter demanded not wanting to lose a curial part of her plan, "You can't leave!"
One week earlier
"Insolence boy!" Douglas said crossing his arms, he couldn't believe Christopher had the balls to simply walked out on him! Showing such disrespect to his own flesh and blood! To his senior who should have been respected.
"Stop," Laura said looking down and staring at the blanket
"Laura?" Douglas asked sitting down beside her
"Douglas… would you have been there? If…. If I had told you?" Laura asked clenching her hand slightly. Douglas simply stared at her and didn't know what to say, he honestly didn't know if he would have stayed if she had told him, he was young and started a company on his own. His future was bright and was mentored by the best of the best, who all told him not to have a family since it would slow him down.
"Well…." He mumbled
"Douglas! Don't be that cold hearted jerk! Be the old Douglas I used to know when we were in high school" Laura said smiling fondly, as she remembered the Douglas who was kind to her and stood up to the guys who bullied her. The Douglas she knew before money came in between them, the same man she had... Still loved.
"Hm…. You were the only one who could handle me" Douglas said glancing at her with a smile, "Every woman I've been left me"
"Because they saw the rich, ignorant asshole! I saw the real you" Laura said smiling at him. Douglas chuckled and shook his head, he would normally never let someone call him such things, or show such disrespect! But this was Laura…. The only person who could call him names, and he would simply brush it off.
"To be truly honest…." Douglas mumbled and moved his thumbs around each other, "I don't know….."
"If things were different?" she asked
"Yeah... I suppose... If there wasn't the company... I would" he said and lean back on the palm of his hands, staring at the cream colour ceiling.
"But something still held you back," she said. Douglas turned his head and looked at her, he knew what or who she was talking about.
"Ember McLain, you were suborned and refused to let her go," Laura said trying to reach for her water.
"I was….?" He said taking the glass and handing it to her, "Ember McLain…. Hm…."
"Why do you keep insisting on having her?" Laura asked drinking her water and placing the cup on her lap, "Was…. Wasn't I enough?"
"Laura…." He mumbled and looked away
"I loved you... But you didn't love me" she said feeling tears forming
"I did love you," he said while he moved his hands around each other, "I… I still do…"
"How am I supposed to know if you're lying or not?" she asked and glared slightly, "This isn't the first time you've lied to me"
"Well…." he mumbled again and sighed, he honestly didn't know how to prove it. Laura was right, he did lie to her and on a number of occasions.
"Why can't you accept Ember will never be yours," Laura said and placed her cup on the side table, "She as loved Danny from the beginning! I know you regretted not taking your chance with her when she was alone… but maybe that's how things were supposed to turn out"
"What do you mean?" he asked
"Maybe fate didn't want you to be with her," she said and bite down on her bottom lip
"I just hate Danny," he said
"Why?! He helped you, he saved the world, he kept Ember alive!" Laura said, trying her best not to yell at him. "What is it?! Why do you hate someone who hasn't done anything?!" Laura said.
"BECAUSE HE WAS EVERYTHING I'M NOT!" Douglas shouted with his eyes closed shut. Douglas opened his eyes and sighed some more, "He's…. the man I can never be"
"So this is why you hate him," Laura said finally understanding Douglas's hate for the half ghost, "And Ember?!"
"She was the only girl…. who didn't see me as a nuisance," he said feeling his emotions getting the better of him.
"What about me?!" Laura shouted and whipping some tears away, "What was I to you?!"
"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry, Laura" he said and shaking his head
"Was it worth it? The money? The power? Was it all worth it in the end?" Laura asked
"Laura… money…. A son... Or power?" Douglas ran his hand through his hair and didn't know how to answer the question, he could buy everything his heart desired and that's what he thought he had done. But he didn't have a woman in his life, he didn't have a legacy to take over… he was a lonely man in an empty house.
"Who are you, Douglas Johnson?! A billionaire? A corporate giant? A bachelor? Or some scared little boy, who never grew up?!"
"I'm everything," he said shook slightly, "I'm everything…."
"Listen to me, Douglas," Laura said moving slightly and getting closer to him, "It's not too late... You could try to bond with your son"
"He made made his opinion, pretty clear, " Douglas said looking back at her
"Christopher is a lot like you…" Laura pointed out and poke his cheek, "If you know how to get through your stubbornness, then you can get through his"
Douglas smiled and lean closer to her, he moved his hand and touched Laura's; Laura looked down and blushed slightly.
"I guess I'm a fool…. Who still stuck in the past" he said and smiled at her
"Then get your freaking ass out of it," she said looking down at their hands
"Hm… you know what?" he said moving his hand slightly, "You're the only person in this entire world! Who talks to me like that"
"And is there a problem?" she asked
"Nope," Douglas said and placed his hand on her cheek.
"Douglas…." Laura whispered moving his hand away, "It's... It's too early... Just…."
"I understand," Douglas said nodding his head
Present
"I have my reasons," Douglas said moving a few papers to the side, and staring at a photo of Laura and Christopher together, "Now…. this is my only warning! If you ever try to interfere with my shit or the people around me! I'll ruin you! I will destroy everything you hold dear! And I have no idea how you convinced Josh on giving you more child support when clearly you no longer need it! But if you fuck with me! I'll make sure to end you for good! Do you understand?!"
"Yes…." Glitter muttered before having the phone hang up. Glitter glared at the phone and threw it across the room, she lost her only chance on getting Ember! But she can at least get Star back on her side.
"I need to go shopping!" Glitter took her purse and keys and left. She needed to cool off before she breaks anything else in the home, the last thing she needs is to pay off another tv.
Two hours later
Glitter smiled after a good day of shopping! She could always count on shopping to calm her down, but she still needed to find a way to get rid of Ember and Andy… now that she has lost Douglas and his connections.
"How will I…" Glitter growled slightly as she tried to think of a possible way to get what she wanted, she needed the right connections or the right dirt on someone.
"Why are you doing this…?" Andy muttered in a sweat quickly crossing the street, and too focused to notice Glitter standing a street away from him. Glitter sigh and took her bags, she was about to go to her car when she saw Andy crossing the street, she smiled! It was like the heavens have answered her prays!
"It's him…." Glitter quickly went to her car and put her bags away, she soon followed him and wondered where was he going.
"This is the last time… this is the last time... this is the last time…" Andy mumbled nervously rubbing his hands together, "Last time…. last time"
"What is he talking about?" Glitter jogging lightly in order to catch up to him; she saw Andy enter a casino?
"Where is he…" Glitter quickly ran right behind him and followed him inside, "A casino?"
"Welcome to BlackJacks," a man said standing in front of a table with cards down.
"Yeah... Hey…" Andy mumbled taking out a hundred out of his wallet. The man took the money and gave him chips, Andy placed half of them on a number, "26 black"
"A gambling addiction…" Glitter muttered and smiled, "This is perfect…."
"Who knows what other secrets his hiding" Glitter squealed silently and pump her fist, she quickly made her way out since she didn't want Andy to catch her.
