A Love From The Past

Chapter 3: Life goes round

As soon as she gets ready, Lolo looks at her in amazement. That naive and totally demure girl gave way to a new woman. Imposing, fearless, sexy and even more beautiful for being empowered and in control of herself.

Dressed in a black tube with details of golden threads at the waist, Rose has a ponytail, discreet makeup only enhancing her true beauty and a pair of stiletto heels in the same color as the dress.

- My girl, how beautiful she is.

- Thank you Lolo. Well, I have to go meet my sister and don't hesitate to call me if there's something with Kevin.

- Don't worry my dear, don't worry, I'll be watching and I'll call you anything.

Rose hugs her adorable Lolo, grabs her bag and goes to meet her sister near her apartment.

Upon arriving at the cafe that they loved to come to in their youth, her sister was already waiting for her at a table that seemed to have their names engraved there whenever they appeared in that cafe.

Her sister, seeing her approach, breaks into a huge smile, getting up from where she was and walking towards her. The two embrace.

- How you are more beautiful my sister. Really, motherhood did you a lot of good. Come on, let's sit down.

Taking her sister's hand, Amelia leads Rose to the table and they sit there and start talking. They talk about many things, how it really was all that time away from there, taking care of Kevin alone and also how her sister's life was in her absence. After making the requests and soon having them savoring with that taste of longing and nostalgia, Amélia decides to ask her sister about Peter and their father.

- Rose, I know this is a sensitive subject, but when will you tell Peter that you have a child together and that he needs him?

- As far as I'm concerned, he'll never know that. But I will indeed seduce Peter and get what I need from him. Nothing more than this. After that, we will go back to where we should never have left.

- Sister, listen to me...

Rose stops her abruptly.

- For Amelia. You know everything I've been through, everything I've suffered. And besides, Kevin doesn't care about his father. At least not the biological father.

Rose scowls at her son wanting so badly to find her a husband. Deep down she knows her son needs his father, but given everything that's happened in the last few years, she doesn't feel comfortable bringing him into their lives again. You don't want to see your child suffer.

Amelia on the other hand, rolls her eyes in frustration at not being able to convince her stubborn sister. But he decides to talk about another point that affects not only Rose's life, but her life a lot, because she sees her family despising her so much.

- For now, I'll forget about my nephew's father, but now I need to know, will you talk to our father?

Rose swallows hard and her eyes fill with tears. She takes a deep breath trying to calm her emotions when it comes to talking about her father.

- Because I should talk to him, the dishonorable daughter he felt disgusted and repulsed, that's not how he said it when he said that if I stayed in the city, that it was to forget his existence and that we were strangers after all the farce created by Jamile and her mother's snake? Not even.

Massaging her forehead, Amelia looks at her with a serious face, as she needs to reveal to her what happened to their father.

- Our father Lord Astolf never got over anything that happened in the past. He ordered an investigation into what happened and had a nasty fight with Peter leaving him with some financial problems. Ro, my sister, he never forgave himself for what he did to you. At the time, he let himself be carried away by the infamies created by that woman. Our father is sick sister. And it's serious.

Rose's eyes widen when she hears that her father is having serious health problems. Her pride speaks louder and she tries not to show how it all shook her. She decides to argue with her sister what she just heard.

- Amy, he may even be sorry, but he continues with that woman and his daughter with him. If he is seriously ill, he is surely reaping what he sowed. He discovered the truth, but only made him fight with Peter, who obviously didn't believe anything he revealed to him about his discovery. I bet you must have thought it was forged evidence. I prefer to continue as we are. I didn't come back for him or Peter, I came back for my little angel and the job that was offered to me.

Amelia opens her mouth to try to say something but she can't. He sees how much his sister is still hurt by everything that happened in her past. She sighs in disappointment that she couldn't persuade her even to see her father. But she doesn't give up. Even if it costs a fight between them, she decides to take the risk.

- Ro, I know you're hurt, but it's our father and he's really sorry. Go see him please.

His pleading eyes almost make Rose agree to go see their father, but she sighs and with the hurt still smoldering in her heart, she takes off with a bitter voice and smile.

- He is so sorry that even knowing the truth he continues with that snake. He's so sorry he never reached out to me or tried to get close. Now that I'm here, you want me to just ignore everything there was to talk to him just because he's sick? I think he just went crazy.

As tough as Rose was trying to be, her sister knew she had her heart bleeding. Amélia decides to make a final move, leaving her sister stunned and thoughtful.

- All right. I quit. You are more stubborn than a mule. But don't say I didn't warn you when it's too late. In this life, my sister, we must not always take things with fire and iron. Here.

She spreads out a piece of paper on the table and on it is written the address, the room number of the hospital where their father is hospitalized. Rose looks at her questioningly and Amelia shrugs at her expression. She takes the paper and thinks about crumpling it, but her hand feels like it burns from holding it. She then decides to put it in her purse.

Amelia gives a smile because she knows that sooner or later, her sister will end up giving in. She then decides to clarify about Jamile and her mother still living in their family home.

- It is our father is no longer with the snake and her daughter. When he confronted her, he threw them out of the house and in order not to miss out on the good life, she argued that she knew where you were. But she never spoke of her whereabouts to him. Afterwards, Peter threatened to take away the export factory and other things from us, and Jamile, as a good Samaritan, won points with our father and with that they stayed in the family.

Rose looks at her thoughtfully. After taking a sip of her coffee, she declares.

- I see that we must then, take action for that too.

Amelia clapping her hands and laughing is ecstatic over her revelation.

- Now yes. You going far away and becoming a mother wouldn't be all bad.

The two laugh and talk about various things, including putting the plan into practice against Jamile, her mother and Peter.

Across the street, a man in a luxurious black car watches the lively conversation of the two sisters in the distance.

Your heart is racing. He is sure that he loves that woman desperately. Looking away, he looks down at a black folder that since his return, he's ordered them to investigate.

The smile soon disappeared when she saw the photo of the beautiful boy at her side. His eyes caught her attention. He mutters to himself.

- It can not be. I was told she couldn't have a child and yet he looks like her taking her eyes off which is the same, no, no, she never hid that from me. Must be some new lover or that s**t from the past I caught them in bed with.

He punches the steering wheel angrily. He starts the car after one last look at the woman who has always been close to his heart no matter how much he wants to hate her.

He returns to his company without even paying attention to the other information obtained from that report and with that, he keeps the folder in his safe in his room and goes to the meeting room.

After the conversation she had with her sister, they decided to go to the apartment so that Amelia could see her nephew and beloved godson.

When they entered, they are greeted by a little boy with a huge smile who was running towards them. He stops before getting any closer.

Looking at Amelia curiously, he puts his index finger to her small mouth, scrutinizing the beautiful woman beside her mother. He then asks curiously.

- Mom, who is she?

Crouching down in front of her son, Rose places her hands on his small shoulders and staring into his eyes, she introduces him.

- Son, this is aunt and godmother Amelia. Mom's sister. Does the one who always spoke to you on the call of life remember you?

He nods in affirmation. He extends his little arms to his aunt with a smile that soon, Amélia bends down opening her arms to him who then throws himself against her and they embrace.

Tears of emotion fall down Rose and Amelia's faces. It was a beautiful scene to behold.

Amelia gets up lifting little Kevin in her lap and they walk together to the sofa. There they sit and spend the rest of the afternoon talking, laughing and joking.
