Maria felt embarrassed but then she pretended not to be moved, she won't allow this gold digger to get to her
"so what exactly do you want Jonas, get to the point already, I don't have so much time to waste," Maria said
"follow me" Jonas said and started to walk away, Maria felt like killing him on the spot, she couldn't believe that he had the nerve to order her around like that, she would just have to play along to get him in her trap, she had made a promise not to kill anymore, she wants her past to be her past, but it seems this animal doesn't want it that way and she would deal with him.
Maria followed him to the study and sat down immediately she got inside her legs were starting to ache already
"I've not even asked you to sit," he said
"so you expect me to stand?" she asked surprised
"just joking" he laughed
"Now straight to the point, I've called you here for one thing only," he said
"As I told you, I know that Chris, Grace and Kyle are not your children" he started off
"just shut up already. What nonsense are you spitting out? If they are not mine, then who is their mother?" she asked him, trying to see if there was anyone in the study; she would not want anyone to hear what he just said.
"Oh you think I don't know, don't try to play dumb with me my dear, I know everything and I've known for years I just decided to keep it a secret till this moment that I will need to use it to get what I want" he said and threw an envelope to her, Maria didn't wait for further instructions, she just took the envelope and brought out what was inside and it contained pictures of when she was on different vacations all the times that she pretended to be pregnant.
"Don't you think that these photos will raise suspicions, how do you explain that you were never pregnant three good times and you came back home with babies, is that not weird?" he asked and Maria was almost passing out, sweats were already forming on her forehead and she was starting to shaking already
"you can decide to keep that, I already have a lot of copies available," he said
"what exactly do you want?" she asked him
"for now I just want one thing" he started off
"I want my daughter to get married to your son in less than a month," he said
"What you want Angel and Chris to get married, you know that's not possible, you know how much my son hates that whore of a daughter of yours" Maria spatted out
"oh please shut up, be careful what you say; she's the mother of your grandchild and will be your son's wife very soon,", he said and smiled mischievously.
"I can't do that, ask me for something else, I can give you as much money as you want" she said
"you should already know that money is not the problem, I want the real thing, I'm giving you just one month to arrange the engagement party, if not I will be sending this straight to the press, and trust me you don't want that to happen, we are done here," he said and stood up to leave the study and then turned back
"I know how dangerous you can be. I know exactly what you are capable of doing, but trust me, I have my eyes on you, so don't try to pull a fast one on me", he said and left.
Maria felt like screaming; her entire world seemed to be falling apart. First, she saw Whitney, and now this bastard is here blackmailing her. Can it ever get worse?' she thought to herself.
She stood and made her way to the hospital, Williams and everyone soon started to look for her, she would just buy food on her way there so she could make up for the lie that she told before heading down here, she purposely hired a cab when she was coming, she had contemplated asking for a car from home but then she changed her mind, she didn't want anyone knowing that she came here, she would get to the hospital first, she will think of what to do to him later on.
Kyle brought the kids outside, he felt pity for the two little ones, it brought to his remembrance what also happened to Chris almost six years ago, he later found out that his brother was trying to commit suicide and it was all because of that girl angel he wished that little Jane is not her daughter, he also felt really scared and afraid at the time and he remembered crying to sleep most of the time with Grace always by his side, now it's his turn to stand by these two little kids, he's so glad that he came around at this time, he just hope that Jane is not like that and she will not make his brother suffer the way Angel did.
As they continued to walk on, Kyle saw ice cream, finally something to make them happy
"do you guys want ice cream?" he asked them and their faces lit up, Jane looked up at Chris for approval, oh he had forgotten that he his the elder brother
"yes, uncle, it's okay, we will have ice cream", he said, and Jane nodded in agreement. Kyle got them the ice cream, and they were happy. Kyle brought them to sit on a bench while they licked their ice cream happily.
Soon he saw his mother approaching
"hey Mom we are here" he waved at her to get her attention
"And what are you doing here?" she asked him as she moved closer to him
"oh that, Jane moved some of her fingers, so we needed to leave the ward so the doc could examine her" he explained
"what!!" Maria exclaimed.
