The Black House; Helen &
Dawn's Home
 
Helen rests
her head on Dale's sweaty, muscular chest as they are fresh from making love to
one another. Helen gets a grin on her face as she knows that she hasn't been this
happy in a long time and she is relishing in it.
"That was amazing,"
Helen finally tells her fiancé before she looks up at him. "I don't
know how you always get better at making love to me but you do."
Dale chuckles back to her. "It helps having such a beautiful partner,"
he replies to her. "You inspire me all the time."
"Isn't
it crazy?" she asks him as she looks into his eyes. "How we met in Cancun
and are now engaged? Life has a way of always surprising us."
"The
best day of my life was the day that I met you on that beach in Mexico,"
he tells her. "You have changed my life and I couldn't be happier about it."
"I feel the same way," she leans up to him and kisses him on the
lips. "Now, I'm going to go shower. Wanna join me?"
"I'd
love too, I'll be right there," he winks back to her as he watches her leave
the bed and scurry off to the washroom. He sighs to himself as he puts his arms
behind his head. "Everything is going accordingly to plan. Nothing and no
one will stop me from getting what I want," he whispers to himself.
The River Rock Casino
Trenyce steps off the elevator and makes
a beeline for Andrew's hotel room suite. She recalls how she saw Cheresa earlier
in the day and her daughter told her that she didn't want anything more to do
with her. Trenyce has no idea why Cheresa has suddenly turned on her since they
were getting along so well, but she can only wonder if Andrew told Cheresa about
their night together.
"Andrew, it's me, open the door," Trenyce
says as she knocks on his door repeatedly. "Andrew! It's Trenyce!"
"What the hell?" Andrew asks her as he opens the door to her. "You'd
like the building was on fire or something. What is going on?"
"I
need to ask you something and I need you to be honest with me," she looks
back at him with intent.
"Fine, what's up?"
"Did
you tell Cheresa about us?" Trenyce asks him in a whisper. "Did you
tell her about our affair?"
Andrew looks back at her in shock. He
can't believe that she just asked him that question because he has followed every
damn rule that she has asked of him. "Of course not, I can't believe you'd
even suggest that."
"Okay, I'm sorry," she sighs back
to him. "It's just, Cheresa is furious with me and I have no idea why. I
just thought, maybe, you accidently told her."
"I haven't told
anyone, you made it clear that I can't say anything, and I've kept my promise
to you," Andrew tells her quickly. "So, just remember that I've kept
my end of the deal."
At the end of the hallway, Antonio sees Trenyce
and Andrew talking and he arches his eyebrow, wondering what they are talking
about that is so intense.
The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas, Donovan,
Logan & Olly's Home
"This is such a fucking mess," Lukas
huffs as he paces back and forth in the living room of the lavish mansion that
he resides in with Meggan, Donovan and their children. Simona just left the mansion
so she could continue to search for Olly, who is missing. What's troubling to
Lukas is that Donovan suggested Jasper might be the one that took baby Olly; if
that's true, then Donovan's quest for revenge has take a dangerous turn as their
son is now in danger.
"We have to try to stay calm, I know that's
easier said than done," Meggan replies to her brother. "Can I get you
anything? Or do anything?"
"Yea, you can bring my son home,"
Lukas looks back at her, his face filled with worry.
"You know I
could call Frederick," Meggan suggests to him. "He has so many connections,
he might be able to help us find Olly?"
"That's not a bad idea,"
Lukas replies to her. "I just don't want him to pull anything on us."
"I'll go give him a call," Meggan stands up from the sofa. "And
while I'm away, try to relax, okay?"
Lukas watches his sister leave
the room just as Donovan comes back into the living room. "Is there any update?"
"No," Lukas shakes his head back to him. "She's going to call
my father to see if he can help."
"I hope he can," Donovan
sighs back to him. "The longer Olly is missing, the worse this situation
gets."
"Well, I hope you're happy," Lukas huffs back to
him. "This damn act of revenge of yours has put Olly in danger."
Donovan looks back at his husband in shock. "You're blaming me for this?"
"You're damn straight I am," Lukas grits his teeth back to him.
"If Jasper did this, it's because you pushed him to the point of no return
and now our son is paying the price, Donovan. So, if Jasper did this, it's all
on you."
The Sugarbowl
Isabelle grabs her latte and
smiles back to the barista as she does while the latest Dua Lipa song plays on
the radio in the background. She grabs a lid for her drink and is about to leave
so she can head into Roboto when she spots Jacob sitting by himself at the window
bar. Seeing the young man makes Isabelle's heart skip a beat as she has been crushing
on him for weeks.
She finds herself moving closer to him as she is curious
to see how he is coping with the fact that Natasha has been diagnosed with a terminal
illness. "Jacob," she says as she sits next to him, causing him to look
over at her. "How are you? I hope I'm not intruding?"
Jacob
smiles back to her as he immediately thinks about Natasha's request that he get
together with Isabelle before she dies; he knows that he hasn't been able to think
about much else but he still has no idea what to do.
"You're not
intruding, it's nice to see a friendly face," he tells her. "And, I've
been better."
"I am so sorry that you're going through this
ordeal with your mom," she replies to him. "If there's anything I can
do…"
"I appreciate that," Jacob says back to her.
"The truth is, there's nothing anyone can do. It's…it's just a waiting
game."
Without hesitation, Isabelle reaches over and grabs Jacob's
hand to squeeze it. "I am here if you need anything, Jacob."
Jacob looks over at her and they lock eyes before he looks at their touching hands.
"How would Max feel if he saw you holding my hand?"
Isabelle
gulps as she slowly moves her hand away. "Well, to be perfectly honest with
you, Max and I, we aren't exactly seeing one another more because I told him that
I was having feelings for someone else…"
"Really? Who?"
"You," Isabelle nervously tells him. "I just haven't said
anything because I know you have a thing going on with Cassie…but yea, I
guess I just put my foot in my mouth."
"Not at all," Jacob
smiles back to her. "I'd be lying if I said it hadn't crossed my mind too.
I mean, you're a beautiful woman."
Isabelle blushes back to him.
"Thank you. I guess we are just caught in a bad timing?"
"Yea,
I guess so, huh?" Jacob tells her, now even more confused about Natasha's
request that she gave him.
The Calimo Mansion
"You
have a visitor and they aren't taking no for an answer," Shane announces
to Natasha as he moves into her bedroom at the Calimo mansion.
Natasha,
who is looking out of her window, arches her eyebrow back to him. She knows that
many people have been stopping by to see her since Shane announced that she is
dying from a rare blood disease; however, she is faking the illness because she
wants to ensure Jacob stays away from Cassie. She went so far as to ask Jacob
to be with Isabelle as a part of her dying wish; she just hopes that she can convince
her son to marry Isabelle because once that happens, she would be able to be recovered
but Jacob would be married, and far away from Cassie.
"I guess I
need to get into bed," she chuckles back to him. "Thanks again for all
of your help with this."
"Of course," Shane replies to
her as she crawls into bed. "Just be ware, it's Cassie that is here to see
you."
"What? Why does that bitch want to see me? Oh wait, I
know, she probably wants to be the first to walk all over my grave!"
Shane chuckles back to her as he moves up to her. "You got this okay?"
he looks into her eyes. "And for the record, I am proud of you for doing
this. We had to do something to keep her away from Jacob, and this might just
work."
"Thanks Shane," she smiles back to him. "I
couldn't have done this without you."
"Here we are, making
a good team, even after all these years," he smiles back to her.
She leans up and kisses him on the lips. The kiss lasts for a moment before they
part ways and look at each other.
"Uh, okay, I'll tell her that
you're ready for her," Shane tells her. "You got this."
Within a few minutes, Shane is opening the door and Cassie emerges in the bedroom.
Immediately, she looks over at Natasha, who is laying in bed. Cassie looks at
her intently for a moment and realizes that Natasha does look ill.
"Cassie,
what a surprise," Natasha says in a whispered voice. "What brings you
by?"
Cassie moves closer to the bed and looks at Natasha. "We've
been through a lot over the years, haven't we?" Cassie asks her as she sits
on the edge of the bed. "I…I guess I wanted to come and see you."
"You've put me through hell and back over the years," Natasha replies
to her. "So yes, we've been through a lot."
"And now,
I'm the mother of your grandchild," Cassie purses her lips together. "After
everything, Natasha, we are family. I guess that's why I'm really here. I…I
wanted to tell you that I wish you nothing but the best."
Natasha
has a hard time not rolling her eyes. "Thank you, Cassie. But if I'm honest,
I want my last time on earth to be spent with people that I love and that love
me. You've never been that woman, whether we are family or not."
Cassie uneasily nods back to her. "I suppose I can understand that. I guess
I needed to come say my peace before it was too late and I've done that. Good
luck, Natasha. I mean that."
"You can see yourself out now,
I am in desperate need of rest," Natasha says as Cassie stands up and starts
to leave the bedroom. Cassie stops one more time and looks at Natasha, who has
her eyes closed, wondering if it will be the last time she sees her rival alive.
Roboto
"So, you're coming back to work because of Natasha?"
Kim asks Robbie as they stand together in the main office of Roboto. Robbie just
informed his ex-wife that Natasha has asked him to return to the office after
her quit while Tyler and Robertson Enterprises were suing Roboto. "How does
Tyler feel about that?"
"He's just going to have to accept
it," Robbie replies to her quickly. "I am trying to do what's best for
Natasha and the family; being here, to take over my family's company, is the right
decision to make."
"I can't argue with that," Kim admits
to him. "Natasha and I, we always wanted you here. I, uh, also wanted to
congratulate you. I heard about your wedding to Madeline."
Robbie
gulps as he looks back at her, knowing that a huge part of the reason he got so
drunk the night he married Madeline is because he found out that Kim was engaged
to Greg. Despite agreeing to try to make his new marriage work, he knows that
deep down he does still love Kim.
"Thanks," he forces a smile
on his face. "I thought it was time to move on, and how lucky am I that Madeline
is a beautiful woman that wanted the same thing."
Kim uneasily nods
back to him. "Well, I wish you nothing but the best, Robbie."
"Have you seen these latest figures?" Robbie asks her as he changes
the subject and moves closer to her with his tablet in his hand.
Kim
studies the screen as Robbie realizes how close he is to his ex-wife. "They
are very good," Kim notes back to him. "Do you think news of Natasha's
pending demise is helping the company?"
Robbie uneasily shrugs back
to her. "I mean, it must be," he says. "But after we lost so much
in that damn lawsuit, this might be the best thing that could have happened for
Roboto. Personally, the worst, but these figures are incredible."
Kim looks back at Robbie. "I guess we might have found a silver lining in
all of this?"
Dominick's Townhouse
Abby moves up
the stairs of the townhouse that she lives in with Dominick and pauses when she
gets to the top of the stairwell. She touches her lips as she recalls how she
and Ethan just shared a passionate kiss; she had been stressed this morning as
Bryce put Dominick under hypnosis to see if he could remember the events leading
up to Felicia and Frederick's wedding. Of course, Abby has been drugging her husband
to prevent him from remembering because it would mean that her marriage is invalid
because Eva is alive. She found herself getting caught up being close to Ethan
and she kissed the young lawyer.
"I have to get you out of my system,"
she whispers to herself. "I have to focus on my marriage to Dominick; nothing
else is more important. Nothing."
She moves towards their bedroom
and pauses when she opens the door slightly. She can see her husband rolling over
in the bed, as he took a nap after the hypnosis session because he was exhausted.
"Eva…" Dominick mumbles in his sleep as he rolls over. "Eva
… alive … Eva …"
The blood drains from Abby's face
as she can hear Dominick talking about Eva in his sleep. "My God," she
whispers in horror. "He might still remember. Dominick might remember that
Eva is alive."
Raven's Meadow
Bryce closes the door
to Felicia's hospital room at Raven's Meadow with a grim look on his face. He
just gave Felicia more medication that Frederick instructed him to provide to
her; of course, he has to pretend that the drug regime was his idea because Dominick
and Tyler got a restraining order against Frederick from treating Felicia, but
because Frederick knows so many secrets about Bryce, he agreed to follow Frederick's
lead.
What's more troubling for Bryce is that Victoria is still missing
and he has no idea where she is. He has called Simona but he hasn't heard back
from her yet on where Victoria could be. He just hopes that Frederick didn't have
anything to do with Victoria's disappearance because he can't stop thinking about
the fact that Frederick told him that he would take matters into his own hands
if Victoria didn't drop the fact that she was starting to believe that Eva was
alive.
"I will do your dirty work with Felicia," Bryce whispers
to himself. "But if I find out that you had anything to do with Victoria's
disappearance, I will make you pay, Frederick. Mark my words, I will make you
pay."
***
Meanwhile, Frederick slowly moves down
the hallway where the most psychologically challenged patients are. He knows that
after he gassed Victoria and Eva, he had them transported to the hospital where
he has kept them in a padded cell. After hearing that Bryce has contacted the
police to open an investigation in Victoria's disappearance, he realized he needed
to come and check to see how his prisoners are doing.
He pulls a set
of keys out of his pocket and unlocks the door. "Hello, hello, hello,"
he says as he opens the door but he immediately gasps in shock to see the room
empty. On the ground, there are tons of the stuffing and feathers from the padding
on the wall. "Jesus!" he says as he rushes inside and realizes that
the woman have escaped the cell and are inside the vent tunnels.
"They've
escaped," he whispers to himself. "But they haven't gotten too far,
I will find you. Both of you, and when I do, it's over. I will end this, the way
I should have a long time ago."
