The River Rock Casino
The
masquerade engagement party for Robin and Antonio is still in swing at the casino.
Cory takes a deep breath as he sees Robin grabbing another glass of champagne.
He knows that with Sophie in a coma, he has to reveal himself to his friends,
family, and loved ones that he is, actually, alive and that he knows that Antonio
is the one who tampered with his plane, which resulted in the plane crashing.
"Antonio, there you are," Robin smiles to the man approaching her,
not realizing that it is Cory as he is wearing the exact same costume as her fiancé.
"I know you were going to get drinks, but you were gone for a while, so I
got a champagne." She shrieks when "Antonio" grabs her
arm and carries her to the back of the casino. "Antonio, what the hell has
gotten into you? Where are we going?" Cory opens the door to the
back stairwell and closes the door behind him. Robin tries to catch her breath
as she looks at the man who just dragged out of the party. "What the hell
was that? Answer me, Antonio! What is going on?" "I'm not Antonio,"
Cory replies to her as Robin gasps at the sound of his voice. ***
"Look,
I know we are having a good time," Donovan looks at Sergio as they stand
facing one another. Donovan knows that Lukas just came up to them and revealed
that Olly has a bad fever, and the housekeeper of the Richardson Estate is taking
him to the hospital. "But this is my son; I have to go with Lukas to the
hospital. Please, tell me you understand." Sergio grabs Donovan's
hand and looks into his eyes while he his mast with his other hand. "Are
you sure this is real? Lukas, he has been trying to come between us, you know
that." "I do know that," Donovan nods back to him. "But,
I don't think Lukas would lie to me about our son's health; and if it turns out
to be nothing, I can come back to the party. But I have to make sure that Olly
is okay, his health has to be my priority. You understand?" "Of
course, I do," Sergio replies to him. "You're a good father, Donovan.
Keep me posted, okay?" "I will," Donovan leans in and kisses
him. "And thank you for understanding." Donovan, then, turns
and moves up to Lukas. "Okay, let's go to the hospital; let's see how our
son is doing." ***
"I couldn't help but notice
that you and Leah were speaking earlier," Bryce
tells Victoria as he takes a sip of his champagne. "I hope you two played
nice?" Victoria uneasily chuckles back to her husband as she knows
that Leah, seemingly, threatened her by telling Victoria that will stop at nothing
to have her removed from Bryce's life and Robertson Enterprises. In the back of
Victoria's mind, she knows that she has to step her plan up to keep Leah occupied
with other aspects of her life; she believes that if Leah is focused on something
else, she will leave her and Bryce alone to live their lives together. "Your
mother hates me," Victoria replies to him quickly. "I don't think there's
anything that I say or do that will change her mind." "I mean,
I even told her if she wanted a relationship with me, she would have to accept
you in my life." "I don't want to spend the rest of our night
talking about Leah," Victoria looks back at him. "You and I, we are
here, we are having a great time, let's continue to enjoy our time together okay?"
"I like the sound of that," Bryce leans in and kisses his wife on
the lips. "Have I told you lately how much I love you?" "I
never get tired of hearing that," Victoria whispers back to him. "You
and I, we've been through a lot together, haven't we?" "That
we have," he nods back to her. "And, as a result, we are closer than
ever." "There are no other secrets between us, right?"
she finds herself asking her husband as he arches his eyebrow back to her.
"Secrets?" he asks her quickly. "Where did that come from?"
Victoria uneasily shrugs back to him. "I don't know, I'm sorry,"
she tells him. "It's just, there were a lot of secrets you were keeping from
me when I first got out of Raven's Meadow all those months ago." Bryce
uneasily gulps back to her, knowing that no one still knows about the baby switch
between Abby's baby and Olly. And with Vinny dead, and Frederick not about to
say anything, he knows that the secret will stay buried forever. "No,
babe," Bryce looks back into her eyes. "There is nothing else that I
am keeping from you. I'm an open book, I need you to believe me when I say that."
"I believe you," she leans in and kisses him on the lips. "I
trust you with my entire life." ***
"Ugh, I can't
believe that this is happening," Kim groans as she slumps into one of the
boardroom chairs that is next to the large table in the room that she is in with
Tyler. She and Tyler, each, received a note from one of the waiters at the party
that they were needed in the boardroom, which is located at the backend of the
casino. When they got there, however, neither one of them knew about asking to
see one another. Then, when Tyler went to open the door so they could leave, he
found out that it was locked. "We are going to miss the entire party!"
"I know, I don't know how this happened," Tyler sighs back to her.
"But it does look like we are stuck in here." "Robbie,
he will start to worry about me," Kim looks back at him. "I have to
believe that he won't stop until he finds me." "And my family
knows that I'm here," he replies to her. "So, they also will be looking
for me. We will get out of here." "I hope so," Kim tells
him. "What are we going to do until they find us?" Tyler uneasily
chuckles back to her. "What's so funny?" she asks him quickly. "I
don't think this is funny at all!" "Neither do I," Tyler
shakes his head as he sits next to her. "It's just, I mean, if I was going
to be trapped with anyone, at least it is someone that I like, you know? Could
you imagine if it had been Robbie and I trapped in here?" "I
don't even want to think about that," Kim chuckles back to him. "And
for the record," she says as she looks into his eyes. "I like you too,
Tyler. We've been through a lot together, haven't we?" "We've
been to hell and back together," he nods back to her. "So, us being
together, it could be a lot worse." ***
Robbie stands
in the middle of the party, scanning the guests as he is looking for Kim. He only
told her that he was running to the restroom, and then to the bar to get more
champagne, and that he would be right back. Now, he can't seemingly find his wife.
He sets his glass of champagne down on a side table and pulls his phone out
of his pocket. "No new messages from Kim," he whispers to himself. "Where
the hell did you go?" He opens a new IMessage and starts to type.
"I have a fresh champagne for you
.?" He then presses send to Kim,
but he hears a chime coming from him nearby. He looks down the table where his
champagne is and arches his eyebrow. He moves closer to a purse, that looks like
Kim's. He opens the purse and finds her phone, with his message on the screen.
"Okay, now I'm worried," he tells himself. "She wouldn't just
leave without her purse. Where are you, Kim?" Behind him, Madeline
slowly starts to approach him, knowing that it is time to carry out the next phase
of her plan, since she has locked Kim and Tyler in the boardroom. She hopes that
they are able to rekindle some of their feelings for one another, and she can
use the opportunity to get closer to Robbie. "Here goes nothing,"
she whispers as she moves closer to Robbie. ***
Trenyce
is about to grab another glass of champagne from the wondering waiters at the
party when she sees Chris moving up to the bar. She knows that he normally doesn't
drink champagne, so she's not surprised that he is going to the bar. She can imagine
that he is feeling similar to her about being at the party; and that is that they
are not in the mood to celebrate anyone's love right now, not when their marriage
is seemingly on the rocks. She still can't believe that Antonio suggested to Andrew
that he is Albertinah's father, not Chris. The fact that he did that has caused
her affair with Andrew to come out, and now, Chris is furious with her. She
moves up to her husband, just as he grabs his scotch from the bartender. "You're
going to get messy if you're only drinking scotch tonight," she tells him,
as he turns to see his estranged wife. "Like you care," he sneers
back at her. "For all I know, you and Andrew are planning to head upstairs
again." "Stop that," Trenyce sternly tells him. "What
happened between Andrew and I, it only happened once and it will never happen
again." "Do you even know how disgusting this is?" he asks
her quickly. "We thought Andrew was our son, Trey!" "You
don't think that I know that?" Trenyce hisses back at him. "I thought
about that over and over again, but he kept insisting that we aren't related,
and it's true, we aren't." "You really can justify anything,
can't you?" "I don't want to fight with you," Trenyce sighs
back to him. "Chris, damnit, I love you! I want us to work on this so we
can get back to what we had!" "What we had?" Chris chuckles
back to her. "What we had, Trey, was a marriage based on lies and deceit.
If that's what you want to go back, suite yourself, but I, I want a marriage based
on love, respect and fucking honesty! Those three things are things you, clearly,
can't provide." "Chris
" "I don't want
to hear it Trey," Chris pushes past her before he takes another sip of his
scotch, while Trenyce lets a tear fall down her cheek, wondering if she will ever
be able to make this up to Chris again. ***
"Not so
fast," Andrew grabs Antonio's arm as he passes him and turns the casino to
face him. Andrew had been looking for Antonio so he could give him a peace of
his mind, so when he saw Antonio, he stopped him. "This isn't a good
time," Antonio replies to him quickly. "I'm looking for my fiancé."
"I don't fucking care if you're looking for the Pope," Andrew grits
his teeth back to him. "Because of you, everyone's lives are a mess."
Antonio chuckles back to him. "Because of me?" Antonio asks him
quickly. "I merely suggested that you could have fathered a child, Andrew.
If that turns out to be true, you owe me a lot. If it wasn't for me, you'd still
be in the dark. Is that what you want?" "You don't get it, do
you?" Andrew shakes his head back to him. "You have been playing with
our lives for far too long; getting me to gamble here, making Daisy sleep with
men for sex! You're a monster, and I'm going to find a way to stop you, Antonio.
You will not get away with hurting me, or my family anymore, I'll see to that."
***
In the back stairwell, Robin's eyes fill with water as she
looks at the man that she thought was Antonio. He just told her that he isn't
Antonio, and she immediately thought she recognized the voice. "This
this
can't be happening," she says as her lower lip quivers. She studies the face
of the man standing in front of her and she reaches out to touch him. A tear falls
down her cheek when she touches Cory's face. "My God
those eyes
.those
lips
your hair
.how is this possible?" "I
I can
explain," Cory tells her as he grabs her hand and squeezes it. With his other
hand, he slowly reveals his face behind his mask, causing another tear to fall
down Robin's cheek. "It's me, Robin. It's Cory; I'm alive, and I'm back."
