THE EVIL BRIDESMAID
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
It wasn’t an easy nut to crack. I wasn’t expecting things to go smoothly as I thought. I went to Linda’s house that evening to prepare her mind about Giving Derrick back to Mr Leo. She too wasn’t making things any easy for me. She on several occasion refused. She would say, “Derrick won’t be able to take it” . “I still need to prepare his mind for it and it’ll take him some time to of course get used to Mr Leo being his father”
“But that will happen in the course of time. What I need you to do now is tell the man his missing son is Derrick. He has gone through a lot and is still going through a lot.”
She stutter, struggling to pronounce her words
“B… But what about me, I might never get any child, o… or what if he takes him away from me Trisha?”
“ He won’t Lin, you know you’re his only mom, at least give him the opportunity to get to know his Dad.”
She persisted
“ I…, I d I don’t think this is a good idea.”
I got pissed because of her lack of compassion and understanding and raised my voice at her.
“Its exactly the only choice we have and the right thing to do for both father and Child, Linda!!”
The next day we agreed to meet at Leo’s house. I pleaded with him to stay home that day. We had to meet him in the morning before he drown himself in alcohol.
That morning I went to Linda’s house and took Derrick, Linda was still acting a little stubborn, but she had no choice but to let me take him along. Wily, Mr Bichong, Miranda, Linda, Derrick and myself walked to Mr Leo’s house.
He was outside, Shirtless with a toothbrush in his hand. When he saw us coming to his house, suspected that something must be wrong
“Madam Trisha, to what do I owe this visit?. I hope I haven’t done anything wrong again Oh?. This one you guys have decided to hold quarter meeting at my house”
“No. You’ve done nothing wrong, Leo. I told you we will come see you today right?“
Miranda admits to causing Quincy’s death. Mr. Leo reveals he knew about it all along. He wanted his aunt to get her revenge. He shares a memory of writing a letter to his aunt, saying,
“Do to them what they did to you and mum,” and throwing it into her grave. The ongoing mysterious deaths confirmed his suspicion that they were behind his aunt’s passing.
Mr. Leo also shares that he remembers all his aunt’s friends because they often visited them together. He could never forget their names or faces.
In a twist, Linda confesses that Derrick is Mr. Leo’s son. Overwhelmed with happiness, Mr. Leo embraces his child. However, the reunion is bittersweet. Mr. Leo doesn’t fully forgive Miranda. He tells her he’s let go of his anger, but warns her that actions have consequences. He painfully reminds her that her miscarriage means she’ll never experience motherhood.
As time passes, Mr. Leo marries Linda, and they raise Derrick together. Meanwhile, I and Willy are blessed with triplets a year after our wedding. Miranda chooses to turn her life around. She works hard, starts her own business, and builds an orphanage, dedicating her life to doing good.
The End.
