Judas kiss
Chapter 63 - I signed Ignacio into a rehabilitation center.

'Hey, please don't forget to log in your period for better predictions'- Flo

Della looked at the reminder on her phone. She had forgotten, as she checked the app. She almost squealed clearly happy. It said she was six days late.

SIX DAYS LATE.

Her period was always always accurately on time. She didn't want to alarm Andre Incase maybe it wasn't it. She looked at her period calendar and discovered that the many times she had been with Andre it was during her ovulation window period. It was even written?'Chance to get pregnant'..?Della looked at herself on the lavish bathroom mirror. She couldn't believe it. She didn't want to be too excited only to be disappointed. She had to be super sure. In Della perspective if she was indeed pregnant that would mean she wasn't even a week in because you only count a pregnancy from the week that you missed your period even if fertilization had taken place a week before or even two weeks before.

She was so happy, she immediately texted Mila but then... it dawned onto her that they weren't friends anymore. Della thought she would put her pride and call her first. Yes, Mila had said them having a child was a bad idea but Della didn't care. She just wanted her bestfriend back. She wanted to laugh with Mila about the whole Spencer ideal that had happened some weeks back. She just wanted a friend..

As soon as Della called, it went to voice mail.

She sighed.

She felt even desperate enough to call Alfredo. Della just wanted to know how Mila was doing. Had they went back to Mexico already? Maybe Della thought. As she went out of the ensuite bathroom, she saw a letter on the bedside.

'I'm sorry cherri, I can't let you distract me today. I have a very important meeting and just seeing you would have made me change my priorities. I love you' - Andre

Della smiled at how thoughtful this was. Things had been going great ever since Spencer disappeared.. Garreth said he just packed up and went away. He did of-course respect Garreth enough to send him an email saying-

'Thank you for everything, you have done for me. I owe my life to you.. I feel awful because I have wronged you and you're like a father figure to me. I know you won't forgive me but I will try and ask for your forgiveness. After Ignacio took advantage of me as someone whom I trusted.. I was beyond hurt. I cannot imagine how you would feel if Della told you what I had almost done to her. This is not the type of a person, I am. This is not the younger person I strived to become. Please forgive me for forcing myself on your daughter. More than anything, I will personally write to Della asking for her forgiveness. After reading this.. you will kill me so I'd rather be far. I had time to reflect on my life while sitting in the cold toilet seat in Ignacio's bathroom. I realized I had so many dreams and ambitions and you somehow took that away from me. You made me like this Garreth. You made me strong, rich, famous and respected but at the same time you made me a violent murder who lets anger get the best of him. I do not want to be like this.. like you. Take all my money away if you want to. It has after all gone to my head. The way I handled Adela cheating with Andre was something that you would have done to Marcela and don't even for a second lie because I know you would have done far worse. I became power hungry and controlling.. that's not me. What really opened my eyes is Ignacio.. seeing how he has also went coconuts. It's as if your mental illness is contagious and everyone who spends too much time around you automatically somewhat becomes insane. I need peace of mind, a new start. This is not the life I want to lead. Before you kill me, I just want you to know that you're still the father who raised me and I would love to one day come back and be a son and a sister to Adela. To apologize to everyone I have wronged. You're my family and what I felt for Della wasn't anything close to love, I was envious that she was about to steal everything that had been promised to me when I was still your one and only. I was power hungry, forcing the wedding on her and all that. I'm embarrassed. Hopefully one day she can forgive me and let me be an uncle to Leondre. I hope you can forgive me as well. I hope you're well taken care of while I'm away.. I can't tell how long I will be gone but I will come back with only good intentions and a clean state of mind. Thank you for everything, dad.' love?

Spencer Hurst

Ps. (I have always been a McCarthy, hopefully one day you allow me to legally be. Alright I think now I'm really pushing it..)?

If Garreth had said he didn't feel any sort of affection towards Spencer, he would be lying. Spencer had taken care of him for years even as an eighteen year old boy. Spencer had done so much for him and he was more like a son. Garreth realized everything happened for a reason and maybe yes, he was to blame for what happened. It was his fault for telling Spencer that he could only inherit everything if he married Della. It was his fault for instilling this mindset in him. Spencer had always been a very nice and well mannered young man. In fact the man, Della had first met was the real Spencer much more likable but then he started more like Garreth.

He had promised Marcela, he would change and he was trying.

"To start fixing everything I had ruined.." Garreth paused as he reached for Marcela's hand. "I signed Ignacio into a rehabilitation center, what he did to Spencer was not normal and I don't condone it. What's worse is he tried to kill himself when I told him that Spencer left so this is really good, I'm glad I got there on time. I also sold some more of my mafia property in Manchester and here as well. I want to be a good example for Leo not only Leo but Lyle too. They're good kids. I even gave Jeanine the blackmailing disc, I was using on her. She said it really didn't matter because her marriage and life was over. I suggest that she go see's a therapist but she just rubbed it off.'

Garreth was quiet, letting silence take over. He sighed.

"Della and Andre have been staying together with Lyle and Leo. They look so happy, incredibly happy. You should see them.."

He then added.

"I signed up for golf, at some very expensive golf club. Maybe I could make some friends.. you know people my age who are successful and aren't shady.." Garreth caressed her hand thinking of what more to say.

"Your husband hasn't checked up on you.. you should really wake up because you can't leave you son with a man like that, Marcy."

Silence..

"I'm planning on moving out of the penthouse. I want a house in Manhattan. Maybe you could help me decorate it.. I know that's really your stuff." Garreth sighed.

"The only thing you need to do is wake up."☐☐
