TWO MONTHS LATER.

Cassandra’s pov

My eyes narrowed and my brows knitted together in an angry frown, as I glared at Jayden’s untouched food.

“Mr Grassi, are you gonna eat up?” I asked one more time.

He shook his head in disagreement, he slammed his spoon on the table and leaned back on his chair.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m doing exactly what you’re seeing” he replied.

I glared at him.

“Are you tryna get me in trouble?” I gritted out.

“Nope, you’re the one getting yourself in trouble” he answered.

I banged on the table hoping to scare him, but he didn’t even flinch an inch -he sat there simply with an evil smirk and stared at me.

“Aunt took Isabella with her and instructed me to take good care of you” I said.

“Which you’re not doing a job at”

My frown deepened slightly, I rested my arm on the table and leaned closer even though I didn’t get any closer to him.

“I’m not doing a good job?” he shook his head and I scoffed. “I’ve been cooking almost all kind of nutritional meals, to help your new heart recover quickly and you call that not trying?”

“My heart need only one nutrient to fully recover, which you’re denying me” he said.

“And what nutrient is that?” I asked, even though I know the answer already.

“You” he answered.

“Me?”

“Yes, you, I want us to make sweet love”

I rolled my eyeballs.

“I think I missed when you still have your mechanical heart” I snarled and he chuckled lightly.

This is what I’ve been going through since the past two months, a lot has also happened since then.

We won Isabella’s custody and Jayden got a new heart, a real heart which doesn’t need recharging.

★FLASHBACK_ONE MONTH AGO★

“Are you sure mom’s not gonna force me and make me go back with her?” Isabella asked me for the hundredth time.

“No” I answered for the hundredth time too.

Isabella titled her head and looked at the court building behind me, she chewed on her lower lip tenderly and I could see how scared, worried and nervous she was.

“You’ll be fine, Bella, I’m here for you”

I paused and gestured at her father who’s having a discussion with his lawyer, a few inches away from us.

“Your dad is here too, even aunty Vero, uncle Stephen, your grandma and grandpa are here too”

Het eyes searched for the people I had just mentioned, luckily they weren’t out of sight.

“We’re all here for you, we ain’t gonna let her lay a finger on you, we’ve got you” I assured her.

“Promise?” she asked, sticking out her pinkie.

“I promise” I wrapped my pinkie around hers and she smiled.

She gestured me to lower myself and I did, she placed a k-ss on my right cheek.

“Thank you” she thanked me.

“You’re welcome, come on, let’s go in together” I said.

I helped her out of the car and we headed towards the courtroom.

★★★★★

There was total silence in the courtroom, we’re all seated and was patiently waiting for the judge to arrive.

Matilda and one of the two men sitting next to her were glaring at Jayden and his lawyer, I assume that’s her boyfriend.

Wait, why would she come here with her boyfriend? He has no connection with the Grassi family -right?

But with the way he’s glaring daggers at Jayden, I couldn’t help but think he’s not just Matilda’s boyfriend, he must be related to Jayden.

“Why are we the only witnesses in the court today?” Vero whispered in my ear.

I did a quick scan and realized she’s right, it’s just us (Jayden’s family, Stephen, Brad, Vero, Matilda and her boyfriend, Isabella and I), the judge and lawyers from both family that are here.

It doesn’t look like every other court hearing, I guess they’re really resolving this issue privately.

“Let’s sit back and watch if there are gonna be any dramas” I whispered by and we sniffled a laugh.

Brad hopped from his seat and sat on a chair behind us, he tapped me on the shoulder and I leaned back to give him a listening ear.

“I still can’t believe you’re married and gotten yourself a kid already” he said.

I sighed, rolled my eyeballs and facepalm myself…yeah, I have explained everything to him a few days ago and I swear, his reaction was so hilarious.

“Yeah, I think I kinda regret telling you about my love life now” I snarled at him quietly, but loud enough for us to hear.

“You have no choice but… ”

“Hush, it’s starting now”

Vero interrupted us, pointing at Jayden and Matilda who were sitting on both sides of the judge, with their lawyers ready to defend them.

Jayden’s lawyer opened his briefcase, he pulled out a file and gently slammed it on the table, then nodded at Matilda’s lawyer.

Matilda’s lawyer also reached for his briefcase and pulled out a file too, he dropped it on the table and they pushed both files towards the judge.

He (the judge) reached for it and glanced through them briefly, before pushing it back to them with an approving nod.

“Mr Grassi, what are your reasons for wanting Miss Grassi’ custody?” the judge asked.

“Er….”

“There’s no need for questioning, your honor, I agree to let him have my daughter’s custody” Matilda cut in.

Isabella gripped me tighter when she heard her mother’s voice, she peeked at her frighteningly and I frowned.

Why is she suddenly scared of her mother?

“You mean you have no objections?” the judge asked.

“No”

The judge nodded and cleared his throat.

“We’d love to hear from the kid, we should ask her opinion and let her chose the parent she want to go with” the judge said.

All eyes turned towards Isabella and she held me tighter, but they quickly looked away when they noticed her discomfort.

“Where’s the kid?” the judge asked, his eyes looking around until they landed on Isabella.

Matilda’s eyes met mine and she glared maliciously at me as if I stole something from her, but I don’t care -she threw her family away and I picked them up -her loss, my gain.

Stephen walked towards me, he carried Isabella from me and k-ssed her forehead.

“Princess, the judge wanna ask you a question, can he?” he asked her.

I saw Isabella’s eyes looking around, but she stopped looking around when she met her father’s gaze -she smiled at him.

“Kid, who do you wanna go with? Your mom or your dad?” the judge asked.

Isabella didn’t say anything for a while, she turned towards her birth mom but quickly looked away from her.

“Do you wanna go with your mom? Or your dad?” the judge asked again.

“Mom” she answered.

Everyone gasped loudly and stared at her in shock, Matilda smirked.

“Isabella, your mom?” Uncle asked.

She nodded.
Vero scoffed unbelievably, she glared at Isabella.

“What a little witch, how can she still chose her mother at this point?” she whispered harshly, as if she’s refraining herself from going over there to spank Isabella.

Why would she chose her mother who doesn’t have time for her? Or does she likes how her mother always neglects her?

“I thought she’d chose her dad” Brad said. “Well…”

I tuned him off when I saw Isabella pointing at me, she wriggled out of Stephen’s arms and ran back to me -she climbed onto my lap -she k-ssed my cheek.

“My mom” she said.

Everyone sighed in relief and broke into smile, the smirk on Matilda’s face vanished as her glare intensified.

“And who is that?” the judge asked.

“She’s my wife” Jayden answered pridefully.

The judge nodded.

“Well, you can sign the papers now -the kid has made her choice” he said.

Matilda continued glaring at me, but I ignored her and treated her as if she wasn’t even there.

They finished signing Isabella’s custody papers in no time and they both collected their copies, but instead of Jayden to open the file his lawyer brought out earlier, they (Jayden and his lawyer) started packing up.

Matilda tapped on the table to get his attention, he lifted his head and raised an eyebrow at her questioningly.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Parking up” Jayden replied.

“No, you’re not” her eyes settled on the file in Jayden’s lawyer’s hand. “You haven’t sign the properties over yet” she said.

“Sign what properties?”

“The companies, houses and….”

“Sign them over to who?” Jayden cut her off.

“To the rightful owner” she said.

Jayden tilted his head, he looked around as if he’s searching for someone, but his eyes settled on Matilda’s boyfriend -he raised an eyebrow.

“Who could this rightful owner be?” he asked.

“You don’t have to know about him now, just sign the papers and you’ll know him”

Jayden laughed at her words, he exchanged a knowing look with his uncle and his uncle nodded, as if they just passed a secret message.

“I remembered when I was 8years old, I lost my parents in an accident when we were moving back to America -if I remembered correctly someone was behind that accident, right uncle?”

“Yes” Jayden’s uncle answered. “For some reason the brakes failed that day, but up till now we haven’t found the culprit”

Jayden nodded.

“I believe the culprit is here with us”

The person behind his parents accident is here? Why don’t I see anyone suspicious?

If he’s here, he should be around his uncle’s age, but I don’t see anyone around his uncle’s age apart from his uncle and the judge.

Or could it be his uncle?!

“Of course, the real culprit died few years ago, but he handed the bat over to someone else” Jayden said.

Then it can’t be his uncle, who could it be then? The judge? Matilda? Or her boyfriend?

“We have evidence here to prove our point and it’s with Barr Mark” Jayden nodded at his lawyer.

Matilda’s boyfriend banged on the desk in front of him, he gritted his teeth and his balled fists was very obvious -revealing how angry he was.

But why is he getting angry?

“Sign the papers or I’ll expose your father’s sin from years ago” He growled.

“And who are you?” Jayden asked in a clueless tone, but he didn’t look clueless at all.

In fact, from his expression one can easily tell he knows this man very well.

Matilda’s boyfriend scoffed, he pushed a file towards Jayden and gestured him to read it but Jayden shook his head.

“I can’t read, why don’t you tell us who you are?” he said.

He glared at Jayden for a while, before speaking.

“Fine, I’m Peter Grassi”

“Peter Grassi?”

“Yes, your old man should knows about me” Peter nodded at uncle.

Vero and I exchanged looks, we’re both wondering what’s going on? Why is there suddenly another Grassi here in court? I mean, where did he come from?

“How are you related to us?” Jayden asked.

“Stop asking me, ask your old, he knows the story!”

Jayden smirked at him.

“What story? That you’re a liar who’s trying to force his way into the Grassi’ family?”

Peter banged on the table again, earning a glare from the judge this time but he doesn’t look like he cared.

“I’m not forcing my way in, blame it on your rapist of a father!” Peter frowned.

Rapist of a father? Oh my God, Jayden’s father was a rapist?
I turned to Vero and saw she’s equally as shocked as I am.

“Peter, my brother didn’t rape your mother, and you’re not even his illegitimate son” uncle said.

Peter laughed.

“He didn’t rape my mother? Then why was he laying unclad next my mother when the police arrived at the hotel room? Why did he ran away with his family just when my mom told him about her pregnancy?” Peter asked.

“Even if you’re dad’s illegitimate son, you still have no rights to fight over his properties -you’re just a bastard son!” Jayden said, ok, that’s the first time I’ve heard him swear.

Peter sprang up and tried to rush over to Jayden, but their lawyer pulled him down quickly.

“I dare you to call me a bastard again!”

“It’s the fact, you don’t know who your father is -your father is your uncle” Jayden said.

What? His father is his uncle? This is complicated, how did that happened?

“Shut the fuçk up, you’re spouting nonsense!”

Jayden got up, he nodded at Stephen and a projector screen was turned on -everyone’s attention were suddenly on the screen.

“Let me tell everyone a very brief story” Jayden said, he cleared his throat and began. “Years ago, my dad had an affair with a woman and they always met each other at Bonnie&Clyde’s hotel… ”

He paused and pressed a remote control, we saw a man who looked exactly like Jayden but a little plump, he must be Jayden’s father.

He entered into a room and few minutes later a woman came and also entered the room, a few other scenes with the same thing reccuring but with different clothes and different days.

“… that’s how they normally meet everyday, my dad was always the one who called her first, until one day, she called my dad and told him she’s in danger…”

Peter tried to wriggled out of his lawyer’s hold but couldn’t.

“… My dad rushed over, only to find out it was a set up. Please watch this”

Jayden pressed a button, we saw his father rushing into the hotel room and the police men arrived shortly after and took him away.

“It was said that my dad raped his lover, no matter how hærd my dad tried to explain, nobody believed him because the surveillance camera showed he was the only one who entered the room”

“Of course, we all watched the video too” Peter said.

Brad scoffed loudly behind me.

“The video was obviously edited” he whispered.

I turned to him.

“You think so?”

“Yeah”

Jayden cleared his throat.

“Now, watch this”

He pressed another button and we saw a strange man dragging Peter’s mother into the room, few minutes later he rushed out with his clothes and hair disheveled as he was struggling to put his belt back on.

“That was Peter’s uncle, he entered the room before my dad and he raped the woman, he deleted this scene to avoid getting caught” Jayden explained.

Peter cleared his throat.

“Well, I didn’t know all this, I was only told I’m one of the Grassi and… ”

“You know everything, he were groomed for this” Jayden interrupted him.

“What do you mean?”

Uncle got up, he shoved his hand in his pocket and pulled out a small phone, with some photos.

“Before your mother’s death, she sent these things to me” Uncle paused and showed everyone the photo.

I frown, isn’t that my mom’s photo? What did my mom has to do with all this?

“I didn’t understand this back then, this woman…” he pointed at mom. “….she was my girlfriend back then and I thought maybe she had an affair with my brother that’s why these things were sent to me…”

Uncle was mom’s boyfriend? Oh my world, I feel like vomiting right now.

“… because I was angry, I didn’t go through the phone until two days ago, when I was I searching for clues to lead me to my brother’s murderer”

He sighed.

“Let’s hear something” Uncle paused, he typed on the phone for a moment.

*…your boyfriend is rich and he’s getting married to a rich woman soon, you know our family is poor and we’re depending on you to deliver us…just get pregnant for him and force him to marry you…*

*No, I can’t do that, I can’t hurt him like that*

*You’re not doing anything wrong, you can tell him to give you some money if he wants you to leave him alone, he won’t…*

*I said no, he’s a good man and…*

We heard a resounding slap and the woman released a grunt.

*Then I’ll get you pregnant and see what you’re gonna do about it, you’ll have no choice but to tell him you’re pregnant with his child…*

*I won’t tell him, I’ll tell people what you did…*

*You can’t say it, what are you gonna tell people? That your brother impregnated you? Who’s gonna believe you?*

*You..you…you can’t do this, I’m your sister*

*Yes, you’re sister and that’s why I’ll fuçk your p-$$y really hærd*

*That’s sick, you can’t do this…* she scre-med. *..get away from me, get away from me*

Another slap again, then we heard her crying for help and then it was silent until…

*Watch as I’ll have our son destroy the Grassi family and take over everything, that’s the least he can do to compensate your brokenheart*

Oh my God, this guy is sick, he raped his own sister.

Peter fell on his chair back, he looked like someone who’s been tricked.

“I didn’t know all this, I didn’t know all this” he began chanting.

“Too late, because you staged the accident that almost took my life -my heart was damaged in that accident” Jayden said.

Peter shook his head.

“He deceived me, he told me you snatched everything from me and I should get you out of the way to get what’s rightfully mine back”

Jayden laughed, he nodded at Stephen approvingly who quickly typed on his phone and in no time policemen trooped in.

“What’s going on?” Peter asked when he saw the policemen.

“You’re under arrest for the murder of Mr and Mrs Maldonado, come with us quietly or your words will be used against you in court” an officer said.

Peter quickly surrendered, tears flowed down his cheeks as the policeman was cuffing his hands.

“I’m an abomination” he cried as the policemen led him outside.

Jayden closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, I’m happy for him that he resolved all his problems in one day, without bloodshed.

My gaze moved to Matilda, does she know any of these things? Or has Peter being deceiving her all these while?

“Yes!” Stephen suddenly shouted.

We all turned to him.

“I’ve got good news, Jayden’s got a matching donor and we can get him a new heart” he announced.

“Oh my God, that’s good news”
” That’s great”
” Wonderful”

Everyone was busy expressing their joy, I couldn’t react in anyway, I was just smiling at Jayden.

He towards me, he k-ssed me on the l-ips and k-ssed Isabella on her cheek.

“Baby,did you hear that?” I nodded. “I’m getting a new heart” he said.

“Yeah, I’m happy for you”

★END OF FLASHBACK★

We have no idea where Matilda went afterwards, while Peter was sent to jail -he was given 15years in prison -that’s gonna be a very long time for him.

I kinda pity him though, I can’t imagine my uncle being my father.

That’s just so gross!

Jayden also had his heart surgery and it was very successful, though I’m still being careful with him when playing around with him -if you know what I mean.

“Am I still getting that nutrient?” Jayden asked, pulling me from my thoughts.

“You had the nutrient a day before yesterday, you are not that strong to be getting it everyday” I scolded him.

He got up and walked towards me, he took my hands and helped me up.

“Isabella is coming back home next week, let’s use our time well so that we’ll have nothing to regret later” he said.

“You can’t withstand me now, your heart is still recovering”

“Well, let’s try it and see if I can withstand you”

With that he swooped me in his arms and raced upstairs towards our room, I pray s-x doesn’t be the death of him one day.

THE END.
