revenge revealed

Chapter 56 (Vicky's POV)

I was sitting in Knox and Jessy's living room, my babies were fast asleep in the guest bedroom they let me borrow while I tried to get on my own feet again.

Knox was nervously pacing up and down in front of me.

Honestly he was making me nervous.

But at the same time I was replaying events from today in my head.

*FEW HOURS EARLIER*

I can't believe my eyes.

There he stood and not an arm's length away from him was Shawna, looking all high and mighty with a smug smile on her face.

I knew right away something wasn't right.

"What's going on here?"

There was fear evident in my voice. Because I was afraid of what was about to happen. But each second that passed I was more sure it can't be anything good.

"Yeah darling, tell them."

I looked at Shawna when she spoke and it was on the tip of my tongue to tell her no one asked her a question but then Andrew spoke up and my world stopped spinning.

"I want you gone Vicky. I was with you just so long that Shawna would come back to me."

My heart stopped and then started again with a rapid beating.

It was like someone cut me open. No scar that was on my body could be close to the pain I was feeling right now. 

And then he gave me the final blow that would send me to my knees if it wasn't for Knox who caught me fast and held me upright.

"I don't love you anymore."

My world fell apart as soon as those words left his mouth.

But then I remembered.

I was not alone anymore.

I had Val and Valerie to think about.

They needed me.

So it was time I show some strength that I always admired in the female leads of my books.

I straightened my spine and held my head high while I looked him straight in his eyes.

"No matter what you say. I know the truth. But let it be your way."

When my eyes slipped down to his mouth that I realized I won't be able to kiss anymore, I swear I could see a smile playing on his lips.

"You Shawna. Remember my next words really good because I won't repeat myself. You may have gotten him back but sooner or later you will be history again. Because you know what they say. History loves to repeat itself."

She was furious, I could clearly see it. If it would be possible she would be blowing steam out of her ears that's how pissed she was.

"You…"

But I wasn't about to listen to her bullshit so I cut her off.

"Save your bullshit for someone who cares. But late at night remember one thing. Andrew might not love me anymore, but I know for a fact he never loved you to begin with. So enjoy while you can. It won't last."

She screamed and lunged at me, but I was prepared for hwr attack so I just pulled my arm as far behind me as I could and punched her full force into her nose.

Sweet sound of breaking bones could be heard through the living room.

And a satisfied smile slipped on my face.

She was on her knees holding her nose and screaming at me something about me being a bitch for breaking her nose bla bla bla.

Who cares?

A chuckle was heard and when I lifted my head I saw it came from Andrew but he tried to cover it up with a cough.

I didn't try explaining it to myself though and turned to Knox.

"Could I stay with you guys for a few days please?"

He waa shooting daggers in Andrew's direction but at my words he turned to me.

He gave me a soft smile and put an arm around my shoulders.

"Sure you can sis. As long as you need. You go wait in the car and I will bring out your things ok?"

I nodded my head and did as he asked.

He was back in less than 30minutes but his face was full of confusion, but I got no answer from him when I asked him about it.

**

*Present time*

"For fucks sake could you stop already and tell me whats got your pantties in a twist?!"

He stopped suddenly and looked at me confused.

"Oh yeah sorry. That's what Andrew gave me when Shawna turned around for a second. She was speaking with someone about everything going as planned. I wouldn't even know what she said but the last time Shawna made an impromptu visit inside his house I installed some equipment so I could hear any weird conversations."

I opened the note. It was written fast that much was evident because it was barely readable.

It's not what it seems. Listen to the tapes.

"So did you? I mean listen to the whole tape?"

Once again he stopped suddenly and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Damn it. No. I only listened to her phone conversation. I didn't even think to listen to everything. Let's go!"

It was my turn to be confused.

"Go where?"

He rolled his eyes but a smile played on his lips.

"To listen to the whole tape. I have it all in my home office."

I was on my feet in a second and was almost running behind him.

I needed answers and I thought maybe those tapes have them.

Knox looked fast for the right tape, put it into his computer and gave us both some earphones so we could hear better.

First there was just a lot of silence which was logical since we were in hospital for the past few days.

Then suddenly we heard someone unlocking the door.

"This plan of yours has some holes you know. How in the hell does me getting back Andrew help you in any way?"

We looked at each other. Ok so that was Shawna. But whom is she speaking to?

I wish I didn't ask myself that question though.

"Sometimes you can be reallx stupid. If he is not with Vicky anymore than I can get to her and make her realize she should be with me. We go back to Slovenia and we both have what we wanted."

That was Nik's voice. Which meant they worked together.

And that was not good news. Not at all.

"Ok honey. You just make sure to keep that bitch away from Andrew and she can be all yours. What do you say about one last goodbye between the sheets? I never got to feel how Andrew's mattress feels like, let's try it out."

There was chuckling and laughing, and then a few minutes later only loud moans could be heard.

I pulled down earphones as fast as I could and it looked like Knox had the same idea.

He forwarded the tape until we could hear someone leaving the house.

I suspected it was Nik, and then a car could be heard.

And some steps, and then one last shock.

Hello my darling. Long time no see. It's good to see you. It will be even better to get you back."

A few seconds of pause followed before she continued.

"See, here's the thing. Me and Nik realized we have the same enemy or rather same problem. My enemy is Vicky, his is you. So we made a plan. Outside in the bushes is Nik. He has a sniper gun aimed right at Vicky. If you play it wrong it's her blood on your hands. And then he can take your precious babies without any interference. Now if we want to make this work. You will tell her you want to get back together with me. And that you don't love her. Just to be sure I will stay here for a while. So we are sure you are playing by the rules. Is it all clear?"

After that we could hear how we entered the house, so Knox paused the tape and turned my way.

"Now things are much clearer. So Shawna and Nik are working together so each of them can get one of you. Those two together are a dangerous duo though."

I nodded my head and started brainstorming.

"Ok I agree about everything but what do we do now? We need to get him out of this situation somehow."

He gave me the most devil-like smile I've ever seen on his face.

"Don't worry sis. I have an idea. But I need you and Jessy both, so we will take Vale and Valerie to Marge tomorrow morning and get started."

So we called Jessy and got down to business, because we had no time to lose.
