Free Web NovelChapter 231: Slap And A Punch
They settled down in the drawing room. They had security officers and other personnels at home, so Zyair didn’t want to make a scene in front of them. Giving anyone more material to drag him or his family. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Talk, you have five minutes," Zyair told her in a dismissive tone as he sat opposite her at a distance so she wouldn’t be able to touch him or breathe the same air he was breathing.
Skyla and Meena sat protectively to his left and right side.
"Caeco, me searching for you for years. Can we start over. Let me be part of your life again," she stated with another cunning smile.
Skyla and Meena hated the woman who had wronged the most important man in their lives on so many levels, but they stayed quiet for now, letting him talk. He needed to get this off his chest, to face her and tell her how she fucked him up.
"And do what, exactly? Do you need more money? Or you want to destroy any sanity I have left inside of me which you failed to crush before?"
Zyair knew exactly what his mother was like. She only worshiped money and her looks, for that she even sold her son. His neck had become stiff from the tension that was rippling through him. Skyla had not let his hand go for a second, a constant reminder no matter what happened she was there.
Irisa shook her head.
"No, Caeco. You my son..." she was cut off.
"I stopped being your son the day you sold me to that pimp of yours. Stop with the bullshit, what do you want?"
He ferociously shouted at her, not believing her audacity to call him that. His whole body was shaking now, Zyair wasn’t sure how long he could control himself before he said something vile. Although nothing he could say would be enough for this woman.
Meena was utterly furious, she had a hint who his mother was but hearing from Skyla and his own mouth left her utterly flabbergasted. She had wished for a child her whole life, her barrenness was always a bitter topic for her.
And here was a woman who had birthed such a beautiful soul and yet she threw him away as garbage. Selling him for a bit of cash, destroying his innocence, his sanity, his body.
"Me couldn’t find you, then me saw your picture and the press conference this girl did today."
Irisa pointed towards Skyla with her lips curling up in slight sneer.
"That’s my fiancée you are talking about. Watch it, any wrong word about her or my mother and I will throw you out." Zyair’s patience with her was tethering with every passing second. The woman was nothing short of a skink, who ate their offspring alive, all she was missing was the long tail.
"That’s no way to talk to your mama..."
"For the last time, you are not my mother. You never cared before, what changed?"
"It’s a misunderstanding, Caeco. Me not know what you are saying. You ran away from home, me have been looking for you eva since."
Skyla observed that the woman was going around in circles, saying the same damn thing. She was being very careful with the words she chose and was denying what Zyair was saying about their past. She never apologised to Zyair because she didn’t even own what she had done.
Then it clicked. She must have been recording the whole conversation and will later blackmail them, presenting as such that Zyair was a bad son, who spoke rudely to his own mother. It would be portrayed that he left his mother and weaseled his way in the lives of Kincaids.
"Are you for real? If you hadn’t birthed me..." Zyair was still speaking when Skyla left his side and confidently walked over to where Irisa was sitting. She grabbed her bag which Irisa had placed by her side and before Irisa could snatch it back Skyla turned it over and emptied its contents on the floor.
Among her makeup, money and other miscellaneous objects was her cellphone. Skyla snatched it from the ground and as she had predicted it was recording their conversation.
The rage embroiled inside Skyla and her enraged eyes found the woman who was like a shining rotten apple. Beautiful and tempting on the outside while festering and poisonous from the inside.
Skyla turned and tossed the phone towards Zyair who had also stood up from his seat. He effortlessly caught it and glared at the phone as it showed the minutes and graph of their recorded conversation.
"She has been recording us," Skyla angrily stated, turning to face the woman in question.
"Give it bac..." she shouted but was cut off by a resounding slap that had landed on her left cheek, making her head turn in the other direction.
~Thwack~
The sound echoed so clearly that Meena clamped her hand on her mouth while Zyair stood frozen with Irisa’s phone still clutched tightly in his hand.
Not even in his wildest dreams he had anticipated for Skyla to slap someone. He always considered his girl to be too innocent. She didn’t even want revenge against Doran who had destroyed her life and here she had slapped Irisa.
"That’s for illegally recording us and for the years of abuse you put my man through. Get out of our house and our lives or I will call the police and turn you in. I have 101 charges against you especially considering he was a minor when you did what you did. You shameless woman."
Skyla raged, the muscles in her neck strained, the veins bulged out as her maddened eyes kept fixated on the woman with a very red cheek. Her hand clutched it.
She stared back at Skyla with eyes gaping wide and then a snickering smile spread on her lips. The whole caring visage she had been putting disappeared now that her cover was blown.
"And when I thought you couldn’t fall any lower you showed you could. Get out, I never want to see you again." Zyair raised the phone and pressed the stop button. He stepped closer to Skyla wrapping an arm around her waist to calm her down as he faced the woman who had birthed him.
"You fools, media will listen to my sob story when me will cry and tell them what you people did. Me will ruin you and these two as well. Me never cared for you, kids are nauseous and you were the biggest mistake of me life. But you rich now so give me 1 million $ and we go our separate ways."
Irisa hysterically laughed, all care she was trying to show earlier had evaporated like water on a sunny day.
Her hurtful words grated at Zyair’s already wounded heart but Skyla’s hand landed on it providing him relief.
"I will not give you a penny, I never stopped recording, knowing you I knew your plans and schemes." Zyair showed her the phone which was still recording and he had faked it earlier just to trick her.
The sickening smile slithered away from her face as it darkened like a sly fox. She tried to lunge at them but it was Meena’s turn now. This time it was a punch that landed right where Skyla had slapped her.
Irisa’s balance faltered as her eyes were all focused on Zyair and she landed on the floor.
"Stay away from my son, you bitch."
Meena angrily seethed out and stood in front of her son and her future daughter in law.
Irisa turned her face to loathingly stare at the trio and finally played her last card.
"Me guess you neva wanna find out who your father is."
