Chapter 78: Chapter 78
Cameron's POV
Every one of them turned and look in my direction, I froze in the spot, I really didn't mean for them to notice me, but I get carried away, I have no idea that she is with them all this while, rumor had it that, she disappeared and that her family had been searching for her.
What are you doing here? Are you stalking us? Sutton's voice wasn't friendly, he pushed me and send a punch across my face.
Get out. He said.
Why? Did you kidnap her? I asked, Alex, grabbed my collar.
Don't you understand, the word gets out, let me explain...
AH! My head!!! Rhonda screamed as she held her head.
Guys stop it, she is having an attack!!! We heard Ray screaming and then rushing to Rhonda, he help her onto the bed, and we three rushed to her as well, the doctor was examining her and then gave her some drugs to calm her nerve.
What is wrong with her? Sutton asked the doctor.
Oh! The thing is, is like, seeing all these three, trigger her memory, probably it was too much for her to grok.
Shit! I thought it was okay to bring them now, I asked, and you said...
Yes, I did, let's just wait for her to wake, there is nothing to worry about right now. The doctor said, we three, watch as Sutton makes his way to us.
What is it? I was the first to ask, he gave me that scornful look and then turned to Alex
The doctor said, she will be up in a few hours, we should wait, so we have to wait. Sutton said, as he take his seat, Ray and Alex's seat close to him, I take the space far from them, like some lepers. I was eager to find out, how he got her but I really can't ask, even if I did, I wouldn't get an answer.
Do you think, she will gain her memory back? Alex asked, then I understand that something had made her lose her memory but why did Sutton keep it a secret? So many thoughts in my head, and so many questions to ask but the truth is, I have no one to answer them.
I don't know, I hope that everything turned out well. Sutton said, his phone ring. Oh, Padgett!!! He said softly which means that Padgett was the one calling him, he excuse himself to take it, and Alex's phone also rings, which made him also leave, I move to Ray, that is sitting all alone now.
Don't come near me. He said as he stand from his chair.
Come on Ray, even you, you should understand me better than the two of them? You should know that...
Understand you? Did you just say understand you? Fine, I should understand you for hurting Padgett. Ray, I didn't mean to do it. why don't you understand me, fine, I was been an asshole, dad found out about us and there...
No, there is something you could do, but you pick the easiest way, you wanted to get out of the mess you created, you always want to eat your cake and have it, and you always are the asshole that, doesn't think about others but himself, nothing but himself.
That is not the truth, I did it... My words didn't finish, as Alex and Sutton walked back and the doctor also arrived announcing that Rhonda is up
Okay, I go first...
No, she is fine, so all of you can go in. The doctor said, we all walked into the ward, and I could see that Sutton must have spent a fortune for her.
How are you? He asked as he stand a distance from her.
Sutton!!! She called him.
You remember.
Yes, I did, everything, what about my parents, did you inform them about my whereabouts... Sutton shakes his head.
I am sorry, I really didn't mean to but I was scared, for months you stay in comatose and when you wake up you're suffering from amnesia, they will not believe me, if I heard told them that, I did nothing to you. She pinned her lips together then look at him and turned to me all of a sudden.
Hey don't give me that look, I did nothing to you. I said, as soon as the three of their eyes turned to me, I know I am not on good terms with them, taking my name that, I did something to her, will not sound offensive to them and they will believe it.
Silly, when did I say you did anything to me, where Is Padgett? She asked, the four of us look at each other.
Rhonda... Sutton takes her name and moves closer to her. Are you trying to say Padgett did...
No, it's not Padgett, Cassie...
What? We all screamed.
Yes, Cassie, she is mad at me, I walked into her, that day, and she was blabbering about killing someone...
Who did she kill? I asked as I move towards her, she get scared and gripped Sutton.
Will you stop being nosy? Sutton yelled at me.
Sorry, I said moving back, I should try and control myself, these three devils might not think twice before throwing me out.
Go on Rhonda... Sutton said taking her hand, she nodded at him, then start narrating everything that happened that day.
Cassie is the one responsible for Padgett's mom's dead...
What? The four of us screamed.
Yes, she planned of Killing Padgett, I overheard her, she will go after Padgett, I am sure.
But it's been four long years. Alex said. And no one had made an attempted on her life.
Probably waiting for the right time, she; Cathy; Berry...
Berry? I asked as soon as she takes the name.
Yes, all of them were against Padgett, early that morning, I overheard Berry talking on the phone, I really don't know who she is talking with but I heard her say, I will get married to him, after that, we will eliminate his father, and you will become the one with the highest shares that makes you the owner of the company and after that, we also eliminate him and everything will become ours, be the legal wife of his and the mother to his kids, I was going to tell Cassie the good news, I thought we could use it to shoo Berry away from Cameron but then I found out that, Cassie was the one, who sends a hit and run driver to kill Padgett's mom and she is after Padgett's life...
Holy shit!!! Ray cursed under his breath, while I stand there dumbstruck, I never expected that my stupidity will cause Padgett so much, how am I even sure, they are not after her life up till now because Cassie disappeared same time as Rhonda?
What are we going to do now? Alex asked.
I could help watch over Padgett...
No, you will stay the hell away from her, you will not come anywhere near her, all this mess, you caused it and I am sure, the one person, Berry, and her dad are trying to take his property, is no other person but your dad, so stay away from Padgett...
It dawns on me that, those assassins were supposed to kill dad, it just so happens that, he survived it, so Sutton is right, I can't protect Padgett, my family had put her into this, I am sure she is one of their targets, if she, is now my sister then Berry will also want to eliminate her, I walked slowly out of the ward, it's like my life crumbled right in front of me, I hit the steering wheel of my car in pains, I wish things where different, why was I a jerk, an idiot, a stupid fellow, I drove all the way home.
Welcome home darling!!! Berry said with a wide smile.
Let's get married. I said
