One last time

Kissing the top of her head, he caressed her arm and assured her, "It will be alright in a few days." 

"You didn't have to do this." Silvia still felt it was totally unreasonable for him to get her name tattooed on his chest and bear all the pain. 

" Do you not like it?" Kevin asked.

Silvia shook her head and sighed, "It's not like I don't like it. It's nice and I am feeling so touched too but-"

Cutting her off, Kevin pressed his lips against hers, "I am glad that you liked it."

" You know that you are mad, right?" Silvia asked.

Kevin chuckled and nodded his head, "Yes, I am madly in love with you."

" How cheesy Mr Austin." Silvia remarked.

Pulling her closer, Kevin took a deep breath, "I don't want to leave this bed but we have to go back to the mansion for dinner and to discuss the arrangements for the banquet."

" Hey, is your aunt who isn't fond of me still there?" Silvia enquired.

Kevin chuckled and nodded his head, "Yes,she will leave after the banquet."

" And what about that woman?"

" She is there too." Kevin replied casually.

Silvia frowned and smacked his arm, "What are you happy about? Huh? Do you want to attend the banquet with that woman?"

Kevin widened his eyes in shock and defended himself, "Wait what? Happy? I am not happy. I mean I am happy with you but what? I don't even know her name." 

Putting her finger on his nose, Silvia flared at him, "You better not know her name if you don't want to be single again." 

" Yes Ma'am."

…..

Steve's place.

" Happy birthday Jeren." Amy yelled before giving her a hug.

Placing her finger on her lips, Jeren gestured to Amy to keep quiet.

Finding it strange, Amy frowned, "But why? What happened?"

Jeren lowered her head and sighed, "I did not tell anyone that it's my birthday today."

" But why? Steve also knows so maybe he already told uncle and aunty." 

Jeren shook her head and explained, "I already told Steve not to tell anyone about it."

" But why?" Amy asked.

Sitting down on her bed, Jeren lowered her head, "I don't to aunt Lily to take extra trouble for me. If I tell them about it they will definitely try to do something special."

Sitting down beside her, Amy explained, "Jeren you have to understand that they don't see you as a trouble or detest you for anything. They are taking care of you because they genuinely care for you."

Jeren sighed and nodded her head, "I know but I just don't to trouble them."

Amy helplessly shook her head and took a deep breath, "Alright but at least we can go and celebrate right? You, me and Steve?"

Jeren smiled and vigorously nodded her head.

Amy got up and excitedly clapped her hands together, "Great, I'll plan things out with Steve. We will throw you a surprise party." 

Jeren smiled and chuckled, "Okay."

Aunt Lily, who was standing near the door, smiled and left.

….

Uptown cafe.

" What do you want and who are you?" Emily curiously asked. The woman sitting in front of her seemed very suspicious. She was emitted a strong aura which was making her nervous. 

Emily was having lunch with one of her f.u.c.ker boys when a random guy at the hotel passed her a note which said: Meet me at the cafe across the road if you want what you lost back. At first she didn't want to go but later decided to check who it was.

Taking a sip from her coffee, the woman smiled, "I knew you would come."

" Who are you?" Emily asked curiously.

Taking off her sunglasses, the woman smiled, "I am Sabrina Jones, Silvia's biological mother."

Emily raised her eyebrows and curiously asked, "What do you want?"

"I want to help you." 

" You want you to help me? But why?" Why would Silvia's mother want to help her? Didn't she know that she was her son-in-laws ex? 

Sabrina nodded her head and smiled, "Yes, I will help you get Kevin back into your life and you have to comply and work with me."

Emily frowned in disbelief, "Are you really Silvia's mother? Why would you want me to have your daughter's husband?"

Sabrina smiled and chuckled, "Smart but I have better plans for my daughter and Kevin is ruining them for me so I want to get rid of him. The deal is simple Emily, you will Kevin and I'll have my daughter back." 

Emily helplessly shook her head and snorted, "You are kidding right?"

" Do you think I am?" Sabrina questioned her back.

" So you are really going to help me get Kevin back?" Emily tried to confirm for the last time.

When Sabrina nodded her head, Emily thought for a while before saying, "Give me some time, I'll think about it." Emily wasn't so dumb to accept Sabrina's suspicious offer at once. She had to think about it first before giving an answer.

Sabrina got up and nodded her head, "Give me a call after thinking about it." before passing Emily her card.

After accepting the card, Emily left the cafe.

Wearing her sunglasses, Sabrina smirked and murmured, "Foolish girl." before taking out her phone.

'THE FISH HAS TAKEN THE BAIT' 

After sending the message to an unknown number, Sabrina left the cafe.

…..

Collins enterprise.

" Did you or did you not approach uncle Evans five years ago?" Edward asked.

Father Collins frowned and denied, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Banging the table, Edward yelled, "You know exactly what I am talking about dad."

Father Collins frowned and snapped, "Is this the way you talk to your father?"

" Last chance dad, did you or did not-"

Cutting him off, father Evans shouted, "Yes yes I approached him and asked him to force his daughter to to leave you because I could not digest the fact that you were in a relationship with an Evans despite knowing the situation between the two families."
