Chapter 206
I am that son. I am Laura’s Biological son” Andrew yelled and Alfred felt his legs become weak.
He remembered Laura telling her before she died that she had a son but she thinks he’s dead. Andrew cannot be Laura’s son, he must be forging this whole story.
“You don’t know what you are saying, Andrew…” Alfred said and Andrew laughed.
“You think I’m making up this whole story??? Oh God!!! I fucking did a DNA test to prove it. When I found out I hid the truth. I wanted her to figure it out herself. I wanted her to feel that connection between a mother and a child.
I thought she would figure everything out herself because she was a very smart woman but you know what?? She barely looked at me, it’s all because of you.
You are the fucking reason she never felt anything. She paid all her attention to you. It felt like you were the only one that existed in her life.
The love she was supposed to show me, she gave you all the love. All these properties were supposed to be mine but she willed them all to you.
Until the day I found out she was dying of cancer. I had planned on telling her about it but the day I came home to tell her everything, I found out she was dead.
I wasn’t even there to say my last goodbye. She fucking died without knowing I was the son she had abandoned years ago and it was all your fault and I hate you so much for that” Andrew yelled as tears slipped down his cheeks.
“Why didn’t you tell me about it? Why didn’t you tell grandma Teresa about it? Do you think killing Rhoda and doing all sorts of evil to me will make everything right? You could have at least told me we were brothers. I could have made things right” Alfred said and Andrew gave out a painful smile.
“We are not brothers, we were never brothers. You are just an adopted son who took away my rights and I’m going to claim my rights after I kill you” Andrew said and brought out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at Alfred.
Alfred was a little bit surprised, he didn’t know he had a gun with him.
“Andrew drops the gun, let’s talk things out. We are brothers, we are family ” Alfred said, trying to calm him down.
“We are not brothers and besides it’s too late to talk things out. It’s all my mother’s fault. She abandoned me with my father and she didn’t even bother to look for me when my father died” Andrew said as he shot the gun at the glass behind Alfred, and the glass shattered.
“No, that’s not true Andrew. Laura looked for you. She searched for you and she thought you were dead, please put the gun down let’s talk things out like brothers’ ‘ Alfred said and Andrew shook his head in disagreement.
“She never looked for me, she abandoned me. I was just a little boy, I knew nothing. She could have at least taken me with him when she was leaving. I wouldn’t have to suffer. Do you know what I went through? ” Andrew cried. Alfred could feel the pain he was feeling.
“She didn’t abandon you, Andrew. Your father was a toxic man and he had almost killed Laura. She was saved by her mother, grandma Teresa. It wasn’t her fault” Alfred said, trying to reason with Andrew.
“And how did you know all of this?” Andrew asked calmly.
“Because she told me. Mom told me everything before she died… Believe me, she regrets leaving you with your father in the first place. She wished she could fix everything and make you be with her again. She loved you so much, Andrew but she was never able to show it” Alfred said and Andrew swallowed hard, more tears dripping down his cheeks.
“Please put down the gun. I know you don’t want anything to end like this, please. We could still make things right, please” Alfred said and he could see Andrew becoming calm but just then they both heard the sound of a police siren.
“You called the police on me?” Andrew yelled
“No, I didn’t. I swear I didn’t call the police” Alfred said
“You bloody liar. You tricked me again and called the police” Andrew yelled and pulled the trigger. The next thing he saw was Alfred staring at him with blood dripping down his chest. He shot him.
Alfred fell to the ground on his knees staring at Andrew who stared at him with tears in his eyes. And just then he pulled the trigger again and shot him in the side of his stomach making Alfred lie on the ground in a pool of his blood.
Alfred lay on the ground and placed his hands on his chest which was bleeding so badly. He managed to look at Andrew one more time, as he remembered the good memories they had together.
He remembered the first day he had met him on the street. He liked him so much and asked his mother Laura to take him in. Laura loved Alfred so much and was willing to do anything to make sure he was happy. He agreed with Aldred and they took Andrew in. They gave him a name, showed him love, and treated him like family.
Who would believe he was Laura’s son? Suddenly, everywhere started to become blurry. Memories of Lisa and the quadruplets came running inside Alfred’s head.
He remembered Isabella’s dream, it was coming to reality already. He remembered he had promised Lisa he would be back for her but that wasn’t going to happen anymore because he was already dying.
No!!!!” Alfred heard that familiar voice followed by gunshots.
“I’m sorry, Lisa. I’m sorry I let you and the kids down. We will be together again when the time is right” he muttered in his heart and suddenly he closed his eyes.
