Chapter 72: Chapter 72

ANDREW POV

We all arrived at the agents headquarters as Naomi’s step brother, Jeremy was caught while some agents were sent to get Philips in his hideout.

I’m finally glad everything is over now. Naomi and her father will be behind bars for a long time while Jeremy will be dealt with in Dubai which I’m sure he might be killed for all his evil doings.

I hope Susan will be alright. I can’t believe she really saved my mom from getting shot but that doesn’t mean I will forgive her for trying to kill Tia the last time.

After getting my mom treated for the bruises which that son of a bitch, Jeremy caused, Mr Charlie suggested I should take her home since my dad's condition was worse.

I did as instructed and ordered Frank to head back to the company while my mom and I headed back home.

In less than an hour we arrived at their mansion as I helped her out of the car.

We both held each other’s hands ready to go head inside when dad, Tia, Mike and Katie all rushed out like they were expecting us.

“I knew it was you when I felt that scent in the air. Is it really you, my queen?” Dad called out and rushed towards mom who was smiling warmly.

“It’s me, my love.” She chuckled.

“You have no idea what I went through without you by my side. I badly miss you so much.” He added and embraced her.

“I miss you too, my king. I should have taken your words in the first place. I promise I’ll follow every one of your words without disagreement.” Mom apologized as they both pulled away holding each other’s arms as I walked away from them to meet my wife.

“Hey darling." She smiled and gave me a light peck on the cheek as we both hugged each other.

“Tell me, who was behind it?” Dad asked with rage in his eyes.

“Come on, my love. Let's forget about it. All that matters is having me back safe and sound. I have something to tell both you and Andrew.” She said with a light smile which held a bit of sadness.

“What is it mom and why are you looking sad?” I asked with concern.

“Let all head inside first so I can tell you all what the problem is.”

“Is everything all right my queen?”

“Yes, my king. Let all go in so I can break the news.” She insisted and held my dad’s hand as they both headed inside before we all trailed after them.

We all took our respective seats as mom gave me a sad smile holding on to dad’s arm like someone who wants to break some bad news.

“Richard, I know you and Andrew will be surprised but you have to believe it and it's inevitable.”

“Tell us what’s wrong, my love? You’re really keeping us in suspense.” Dad asked.

“Naomi is actually Philips and Fiona’s daughter.”

“What?” Dad shouted.

“I’m not surprised. I know about it mom. I hate to say how she happens to be my cousin.”

“What???” Mike, Tia and Katie all yelled in shock staring at me.

It’s the bitter truth that we can’t be changed. As much as Naomi has done those horrible things to us, I somehow feel sorry for her.

Will she ever regret the things she did to us if she learns of the truth about her mother? I hope this will teach every other person who is in her step a warning of the dangers they will face if they try to steal some people's possessions.

NAOMI POV

“I’m so ashamed to even call you my child. You’re totally a failure just like your mother. I wish I never made the mistake of making her my wife.” Dad yelled to my face as two agents pushed him in a separate cell with him.

“What do you mean father? What has my mother done to deserve such treatment since it was my mistake?”

“You’re too naive that was why I manipulated you at your younger age to get my revenge on the WALTON but you turned out to be my worst mistake. If it hadn’t been for your mother who ruined things for me, I would have been in the WALTON position but she cared about them especially Sarah, her darling sister more than her husband that’s why I killed her with my own hands for betraying me.”

“That’s not possible, father. You told me she died while giving birth to me.”

“You’re so foolish to think I’ll ever love you after what your mother did to ruin my life and you too did the same. I hate you so much you little swine. You’re a replica of her with that soft and tender heart of hers.”

“No! I can’t believe you could be this evil and heartless. I hate you so much and I wish you were never my father. I’ll make sure you pay for her death, you monster!” I yelled with tears of pain and regret.

I will never forgive him for doing such a thing to me. He used me like his puppet and I stupidly obeyed him like the fool I am.

I just hate myself for believing all that my father said about my mother. I can’t believe he killed her due to his possession to acquire the WALTON’s wealth.

He used me to hurt innocent people and made me hate my aunt, my uncle and my very own cousin all these while thinking they’re the evil ones.

I don’t think I can ever forgive myself for doing all those bad things to Andrew and his family. They will never forgive for everything I did to them as well as other people I hurt.

I don’t ever wish anyone to find themselves in my own situation. No one will be proud to have me as a child. I’m really a disgrace to every lady out there. My mother will never forgive me for doing all those horrible things to her sister and family.

I wish there’s a way to end my life so I can go join my mother wherever she is and seek her forgiveness for being a disgrace to her.

I don't think I'll ever forgive myself, not to talk of erasing the mistakes I made. I wish I could seek aunt Sarah's forgiveness as well as her husband, Andrew and Tia for everything I caused them.
