CHAPTER 18: PLAN B

As the days passed by, I never visited Mr Simmons in his suite. I was fully focused on the plan to find Haden and stop him. I did find it strange that throughout my stay on earth, I hadn't been endangered by the malicious deeds of Haden and the underworld.

It's been peaceful so far, except for Antonio's repeated drama. In fact, I hadn't heard anything from him for the past few weeks. It was like he was on a hiatus from wrecking my life.

Okay, so I had to be serious. It's time to focus and find that bastard, Haden. I brought out a map of the badly hitten parts in San Diego that were struck by deadly disasters caused by Haden while I was in Haven. I had Kate's room locked before I started anything.

So I pinpointed the areas which were affected and it all lead me back to where I started with nothing! I started to doubt whether the angels were right in telling me that he was in San Diego. If he had changed location, they would have informed me by now.

I heard a knock on my door so I quickly removed everything that may make me look suspicious. It was a Saturday morning so I wasn't looking my best. I opened the door to see that it was Kate's little Ad.

"Ad, what a surprise from you. Coming to mommy's door so early this morning!" I said wearing a huge smile on my face. She had an envelope in her hand, I wondered who gave it to her. "Ad, what do you have in your hands?" I asked her curiously.

She handed it to me and then I opened it. It was an invitation letter to dinner from Antonio and Miranda. My eyes widened and my mouth was opened in shock as I read through the invitation letter. When I was done reading it, I looked into the envelope as it instructed and I saw a bullet. I was afraid,

"Ad, who gave this to you?" I asked her, terrified. Then she innocently replied to me, "Nunez's dad. He told me that he wanted us to meet. And that I should give it to my mom. Mom please, it's today. Let's go please!"

Adelaide begged me so that we could go to Antonio's place but I knew we couldn't. She wasn't aware of the dangers that came with her friend, Nunez and his family. It broke her heart when I told her that we couldn't go. "Ad I'm so sorry, don't cry," I said to her trying to console her. "Mom, Nunez is the only friend I have." She cried out with her little angelic voice.

Then Kate's mum came over, "What happened? Why's Ad crying?" She said to me. Then she crouched down to talk to Ad, "Hey, baby what's wrong?"

I explained the situation to Kate's mum and she instantly said we shouldn't go. "I don't like you guys anymore!" Ad said with such pain in her voice. She ran away from Kate's room and left me and Kate's mum alone. I sighed then I said to Kate's mum, "That Nunez boy's really got some influence on Ad."

"I don't know why she finds interest in that boy." Kate's confused mother uttered.

...

Antonio's Place.

Antonio's POV~

It was already half past seven. And the dinner with Kate and my beloved daughter was supposed to have begun at 7 pm. I knew that slut wouldn't come, I knew it! So good thing I thought of a plan B. We bring the dinner to their house.

"Get Nunez's things Miranda, we're going to have dinner with my family!" I yelled.

"And what about me huh? What do I do when I know that my son is with you? How do I know that you'll protect him!" Miranda said to me cold with anger.

"For fuck sake Miranda, I'm going to dinner with my family, not a god-damned brothel!" She was getting on my last nerve.

"You're still in love with Kate aren't you?"

I could see the pain in her eyes when she said those words to me. I kept quiet, and then she repeated herself, this time louder and bolder. It seemed like she had lost her respect for me like she was no longer afraid of me. So I hit her, so she could remember her place in my house.

"Don't fucking raise your voice at me! Kate's my family, we have a daughter together and I don't care and whatever you think of me, Kate, or my daughter!"

With her hands on her face, we both looked upstairs to see our little boy, Nunez watching us. I could sense the terror he felt as he stood there watching us. Then I said to him, "Nunez, get your coat and your shoes, we're going to meet your friend from school."

With fear in his voice, he said to me, "Is mummy going with us?" Then I replied to him, "No Nunez, she's sick therefore she has to stay at home." As he went back upstairs to get his coat and shoes, I had the liberty to continue scolding Miranda, "I've told you to stop meddling in my business!"

"Then let me go because as far as I'm concerned, I'm like an object to you. You don't love me so why keep me!" She said to me with scorn.

"Exactly why I keep you. Because you're my object! Whenever I want to fuck you're always there to please me. You are my sex toy!" Then I grabbed her by her hair, looked her in the eyes and threatened her, "If you ever think of leaving this place, you'll end up like Theresa."

Shaking in fear and rage, she said to me, "Well, did Kate tell you that she left your daughter with a caretaker named Jordan?!"

I was confused, "What? What are you talking about Miranda!" Then she continued, "I finally met Kate, at least that was what I thought until she told me that her name was Jordan! Kate's not with your daughter, Jordan's with your daughter!"

I couldn't believe what Miranda told me. "Shut up, shut up you liar!!!!" I said as I threw her to the floor. I believed she said what she said to taunt me. To goad me, because of how much she loathed me. "You must think you're smart huh? I'll be at her home soon, and if I find out that you're lying, you won't be able to walk this earth!"

Still on the floor, she yelled at me, "What are you gonna do huh? Fuck me till I can't walk! I'm used to it that it no longer excites nor scares me anymore you bastard!"

Then I said to her with spite, "I'll fuck you till you bleed, you'll beg me to stop but I won't! I'll force you to lick your fucking blood, then I'll do it all over again." Then I spat on her and called out Nunez's name so that we could leave for Kate's.
