Chapter 36: Chapter 36

"What the fuck is going on here?" Rafael's loud angry and confused voice rang through the whole living room making everyone to come back into their senses. He looked in between the real and fake Amy continuously before his eyes stuck on the baby in Amelia's arms who already started crying because of his loud voice.

Green eyes, blonde hair and a face exactly like him. How was it possible?

"Who are you?" He asked directly looking at Amelia. Amelia stared back at him and gulped down the lump that had formed into her throat. Seeing him standing in front of her and staring at her with those green eyes brought back the old memories.

"Amelia-" Amelia paused for a while before speaking again "-Amy Barretto." She whispered, making Rafael's eyes go wide in shock and surprise. Barretto!?

"You-! What the hell is going on here? Will somebody please explain? Oh my God! I think I will go crazy now!" Rafael said while pulling his hair in frustration. Celeste looked sympathetically at him. Poor Rafael!

"Rafael, calm down! Let Liam explain everything." Andrew said while putting a hand on Rafael's shoulder. Rafael looked at his father helplessly. Andrew's own mind was in chaos but he trusted his elder son with his life. He gestured to Liam to explain everything and Liam nodded at him. Liam then turned towards the fake Amy or Ashley then gave her a cold look making her feel chill down to her spine.

"Will you confess everything or should I help you, Ashley Thomas?" Liam said in a deadly calm voice making Ashley take a step back in fear.

"What d-do you mean?" She shuttered nervously.

"What do I mean? You fucking cheated us all. You separated my brother from his child. You fucking betrayed us all and you have the guts to still ask I do I mean?" Liam said while chuckling.

"I- I. She's lying." Ashley tried to rebook making Amelia glare at her.

"I'm lying? You mean to say you didn’t pretend to be me and married Rafael? You mean to say you didn’t send me to Ontaria when I was pregnant with Ronin to save my child from his father who wanted me to abort him? You mean to say you didn’t come to him pretending to be me and pregnant with his child? You mean to say you fucking didn’t get married to him pretending to be me? Me! Amy Barretto? Answer me? How could you do this to me? How? You are my own blood. My twin! Yet you betrayed me in the worst way possible." Amelia said while sobbing. She was hurt and betrayed.

"What?" Both Andrew, Clarisaa and Rafael said out loud in disbelief. They couldn’t believe their ears.

"What is she saying? Liam? Tell us. Is it true? Is the baby my grandchild? My Rafael's baby?" Clarissa said to Liam, she was already crying looking at the baby in Amelia's arms.

"She's saying the truth, Mom. That's our Rafael's baby." Liam said in a sympathetic voice while looking at his mother. Andrew came and held Clarissa before she could collapse on the floor because of shock.

"Oh my God!! How could she do this to us. We loved her. We loved her like our own daughter." Clarissa said looking at Ashley angrily. Then all of sudden she made her way towards her and slapped her across the face.

"You shameless bitch!" The soft spoken Clarissa became really angry and slapped her twice in a row. Andrew came towards her and held her from hurting Ashley further.

"Calm down, Clarissa." He said while holding her in his chest as Clarissa sobbed there.

"I have already called the cops. They would be arriving anytime." Liam said while checking his watch to see the time. This got Ashley's attention as she shouted.

"No! Don't call the cops please. I admit I did all this. I pretended to be Amy and married Rafael. I'm sorry. I will just go away from your lives. Please don't call the cops. Amy please help me. I'm your sister. Please." Ashley begged while crying looking at everyone but no one listened to her.

"Tell the police to take this shameless woman from my house now. I don't even want to see her shadow near my house and family." Andrew said while looking at Ashley with pure hatred. Meanwhile they all heard the siren of a police car.

"No. Don't do this with me please. Amy! Celeste! Please help me. I don't want to go to jail." Ashley begged while crying for mercy. Amelia looked away from her while wiping her tears meanwhile Celeste looked at her blankly.

"You needed to think that before you decided to betray your own sister and a family who gave you everything." She said as she looked directly in her eyes. There wasn’t any sympathy left for her after what she did. She deserved the worse.

"Can I have him?" Clarissa asked Amelia referring to baby Ronin. After the cops came and took Ashley with them the whole Rodriguez family sat down together and talked about the incident. They were grateful to Celeste for finding the truth. Rafael was still in shock so Liam took him with him to drive around the town. So it was Andrew, Clarisaa and Celeste left with Amelia and Ronin.

"Of course. He's your grandson after all." Amelia said with a soft smile while handing Ronin to Clarissa. Clarissa took the baby in her arms and kissed his whole face while crying tears of joy.

"He looks exactly like my Rafael. How old is he?" Clarissa asked while still kissing her grandson.

"He will turn 2 in two months." Amelia said with a smile. She felt overjoyed seeing his baby with his family. She was happy that her baby got his own family where everyone loved her.

"Two! I thought he was three or four." Celeste said with a pout making everyone chuckle.

"He just grew up faster than the other babies." Amelia said with a chuckle and Celeste nodded smiling.

"I'm so happy that I finally got my whole family back together." Clarissa said while looking at Celeste and Amelia. Amelia smiled nervously while Celeste just stared at her laps.

"Honey, now give him to me. I also want to hold him." Andrew said while opening his arms wide for Ronin. Clarissa smiled and handed him the baby making him incredibly happy.

"I can already see the Rodriguez gene on my grandson. Look how strong he is." Andrew said while showing off Ronin to the ladies. They all chuckled seeing him behave so childishly.

"You both must be tired from the journey and all this. Celeste you go and take rest in your room. I will show Amelia her room." Clarissa said making both Celeste and Amelia nod in agreement.
