I would never forget the day my mother and my cousin sent my father behind bars with the aid of the man with who I was head over heels in love.
It turned out I was the only one unaware of the things going on all along. Staring at the departing patrolling car, I remained stagnant in the middle of the street.
Overwhelmed by emotions, Christopher finally rushed to my side and held me in his arms, announcing in a gentle tone, “I’m sure you’re horrified by the series of incidents, aren’t you? It’s not what you think it is!”
Confused by the things going on, I asked, “We have just thrown my father behind bars! He’s going to spend the rest of his life in isolation! What on earth is going on?”
“He’s finally gone! It feels so surreal!” Isabelle buried her face in her hands as torrents of grief streamed down her cheeks. “Mark, as capable as you might be, justice will always triumph! I swore to bring upon your undoing on the day you took me away against my will! I finally did it!”
“Can someone tell me the things going on?” I repeated my question since I was confused by the series of incidents.
“He’s not your father, Eve! He doesn’t even deserve your sympathy because your relationship with Christopher is the sole reason he acknowledges you as his daughter! He thought he might stand something to gain, but I made use of his greed and brought upon his undoing!”
Standing next to me while weeping, Isabelle gasped out the details, “You have my thanks, Yvonne! I’m glad you have found such an exceptional man! I wouldn’t have made it had it not been for Christopher’s aid! I might need to spend another few years with Lucas to work something up to bring upon Mark’s downfall! After spending twenty years in isolation, I have finally avenged the members of the Andersons!”
