Chapter 19 CONFRONTATION

"Argh! Let me go Van!" Georgina try to get out of his grip but it's non-sense. He just continue to drag him on the parking lot.
"Get inside," he open the door for her but she hesitate for a second. She knows he's still mad, in fact she's nervous to be left alone with him. The Giovanni Javier she knows is different from the man in front. "I said get inside, do you want me to push you?"
Instead of answering him, she just clench her fist and get inside the car. Giovanni walk towards the drivers seat, wears the seatbelt as soon as he went inside so, she did. An awkward silence lingers in the car while he scan something on his phone. It only tooks a second before she heard something rings.
"Jin, pick Kiela at the mall. I have an urgent business to do... Just do as I say,"
After saying those words he end the call and start the engine. She didn't know where they are going but throughout the driving she didn't try to asked anymore. It's already dark outside when they reach the main road, there's still many people around. Amidst of the long silence, Georgina's phone rings. She look at the screen and saw 'Mr. Stealer', for some reason she's hesitating whether to accept the call or not but before it happens Giovanni snatch the phone. Even though she want to protest, no words came out from her mouth as their eyes met.
After an hour long drive, they stop in front of the luxurious restaurant. They walked and visited different shop inside the mall she couldn't get track on time. She didn't know it's already past dinner time. A sigh escape from her mouth—about to open the door but it open before she can push it.
"Hurry up,"
No words, no necessary reaction, Georgina went outside without trying anything. They walk inside the restaurant, one of the employee escort them to a reserved table. On their way, she can't stop looking around the area. It's very luxurious inside or outside. The white and gold theme of with a touch of western style gives a rich vibes. Even the people looks elegant and respected.
In the middle of mesmerizing the surrounding, she jolted out when Giovanni pull her closer to him. She look at him with confuse but his attention locked in one direction. The moment she look at it, her body stop all of a sudden. Her eyes stuck on the same area as the memories from before came back.
"G-Georgina?!" Her uncle Rex said in surprise.
"U-Uncle... Why are you with that woman..." She asked even though she knows the reason.
Coleen, her mother wipe her mouth elegantly and chuckled. "I should be the one asking you the same question Gina, why are you with him? Are you trying to fool me?"
Georgina grit her teeth out of anger, looks straight at her with those mad eyes. There's no reason for her mother to get mad when she's the one whom with someone she shouldn't be. Even if there's many words inside her head, question want to ask and facts want to hear, none of it came out. It's as if the disgusting scene she saw inside her Uncle office keep replaying without break. She look down—try hard not to shed tears or show any weakness in front of them.
"Gina, isn't it time for you to separate with him? Do I need to emphasize it or make a scene here?" Coleen gaze at her with serious look.
"Y-you..." She's about to reach her but Giovanni step forward between them.
"Gia is not a child for you to mandate,"
"What? You have guts to talk back to me child, you shouldn't meddle with our own family affair just focus on your own maybe that way you can protect them,"
Giovanni didn't say a word after her mother said those words. She saw him clenching his fist tight but restrain to show any anger.
"I heard there are many investor who pulled out in your small company, any time it will go bankcrupt. You better surrender than fight," She laugh. Those words couldn't escape from Georgina's ears. She even saw the shock face Giovanni made.
"Coleen, don't bully the child." Rex said, drinks his wine. 
Even if she try hard not to make a scene or make everything complicated, her anger still arises. She look around and saw the next table. There's a soup in front of an old man, it's not even half but without notice, she take it and splash on her mother face which gather a lot of attention. Both Coleen and Rex looks surprise and give her a disbelief look but rather than feel intimidated she look back with full of madness. She throw the bowl in front of Coleen that made her startle. There's many murmurs around, it became louder as time passed.
"What are you doing Georgina? Don't you have any manners? How can you throw something to your own mother?" Rex said in furious. He walk towards her mother side and wipe a tissue on it. "Is this the thing you learn through that man? How naive and immature."
"Naive? Immature? Don't make me laugh Rex Serino." The two looks at her with surprise. "Is it fun to fool your half brother behind his back? You're just a mere shadow of my father how come you have guts to overpower him?"
"What are you saying? Are you out of your mind?"
"Don't try to hide everything, I caught the two of you flirting each other, heard how you f*cking made fun of my father foolishness and how you look down on me. You, that evil witch and your shameless son Zairus Serino are a perfect family. It's a disgusting family,"
"How dare you talk to me like that Georgina Alvarez?" Her mother stand up and slap her hard but she didn't react and slap her back.
"Are you guilty? I've receive too much pain even your slap is nothing but an ant bite on me." She said.
"You crazy brat dare to hurt me again with your filthy hand..." She's about to grab her hair but Giovanni hold her wrist, push her away. "Argh! Y-you... The both you..."
Georgina looks down on her who's sitting on the ground look helpless. Her eyes are quivering, stare at them with disbelief while Rex support her back asking if she's fine. Even without looking around those peoples eyes are on them.
"I will make the two of you pay for all of thi—"
"Do whatever you want, if you're mad at me then put all of it on me alone, don't try to pull other people with our own war."
"Ma'am, Sir, can you please step outside our restaurant. You're making a scene and our customer is not comfortab—" one of the staff came to stop Georgina but she brush his hand off.
"We'll be leaving this place, I can't endure any seconds breathing the same air as the evil witch." She said before looking at them again. "I have one last word for you, I've been thinking a lot since early this morning. Many things happened that none of it make sense anymore but..."
"Don't blabber anything anymore crazy brat," Coleen said.
"You can fool my father and brother but not me evil witch and same as you Rex Serino. From today on, both of you are just a pest lurking in our garden. I will make sure to make both of you pay from humiliation and pain you give to us. Mark my word, I'll make you fall down to the deepest hole without climbing up again." She turn her back to them and drag Giovanni outside but after only a few step they stop. They heard Coleen laugh diabolically.
"Don't make me laugh Gina, both of you are just child. You can't even understand how adults play,"
A smirk form to Georgina's mouth before turning to her direction again. "You're right, I don't know how adult play their game but don't expect to know either how this so called child play their game. Have fun with your little family gathering, it's so disgusting." 
They heard Coleen shout out of anger but neither of them turn back until they reach the parking lot. Both of them go inside the car in silence. The cold atmosphere seems arises, no one dares to talk. Even his aura is not good to see as if he's about to kill.
"I-I'm sorry," she choose to broke the silence.
"What is going on there Gia? Jin called me before you left the Serino company crying without explaining the reason."
She fidget, head bows down. "I know you know the reason, she's cheating to my father. Those two have a relationship even before she came back. The man she talked to in the cafe is their child which I thought my cousin."
He chuckled. "It's not on purpose we bump into them but..." Giovanni lift her chin to face him. "You did a great job today Gia."
They stare at each other for a few seconds. In those few seconds her heart doesn't stop from beating fast, it seems like he can even hear how loud it beat. Little by little his face is going near her, this kind of action made her nervous but before something happened his phone rings. They both came back from reality and look away from each other. Georgina look outside the window while Giovanni answer the phone. It tooks a few minutes before he finish talking with someone over the phone but even without asking, she knows it's Kiela Fuentes.
He end the call as soon as they finish and start the engine. "Sleep over on my house, let's trigger your mother more than todays scene."
"H-huh? W-why? You can just drop me on the bus sto—"
"Do what I said, whether it will be helpful on our plan or not doesn't matter. We just need to add fuel on the situation so, she might feel threatened a little."
"B-but... What if she's serious on what she blurte—"
"Whatever happens, you're the one who's responsible to clean up all this mess. Am I wrong?"
She didn't give an answer and let him do whatever plan he has in mind. There's no way this plan don't have a risk to take. She knows how evil his mother more than anyone, as long as someone back her up then everything will be played by her. Unless you have a great counterattack. Everything happened today, she don't have a good feeling about it.
*****
The next morning, Giovanni take Georgina home around noon. The sun is already on its peak but the surrounding around the subdivision is quiet. No one talks between them when they reach the house. She's about to step outside but a familiar white luxurious car is in front of them. Her brows frown when a black suited man stands beside the car.
"What are you waiting for? Do you want me to open the door for yo—"
"She's here."
"Who?"
"The evil witch..."
Giovanni look infront of the car, his brows frown but later on a smirk form into his mouth. "The plan works than I expected, let's go inside."
"H-huh?"
"Don't give me that look, let's go." She heave a sigh and follow him towards the house.
In front of the door, they even saw a two men in black standing like a palace guard but they ignore it and went inside. As soon as they came, Georgina saw the familiar figure of her mother sitting on the sofa while Marga whom she made eye contact get surprise.
"G-Gina..." Marga mumble, it made her mother look behind. As soon as she saw the man beside, her eyes change to a rage.
"You're a shameless child, how come you bring that man here?" She shouted, stand up in anger.
"I can bring whoever I want here, it's our house not yours. If there's someone who's not invited here, it's you."
"Y-you really getting on my nerves Georgina Alvarez..." Her voice raises again as she throw the tea cup towards Georgina. She avoided it and hit the door instead.
"Did you get hurt? You're fine right?" She flinch when Giovanni wrap his right arm around her waist while the other touch her face.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." She give him a smile.
Coleen laugh with restrain, clench both fist in madness while looking at the two. She walk towards them with rage, the menacing aura came out from her body made Marga flinch. There's no way she'll understand what Giovanni and Georgina wants to do, they know well it'll make Coleen gone berserk but instead both of them try to provoke her.
Amidst of the silence, a loud slap broke it. All of them look on the same direction. It's Coleen who slap Giovanni's face as hard as she can. Even Georgina who stands beside him got startled, her hands reach out to his arm, trembles. A chill run down through her spine when she saw the ominous aura on his face. He's mad.
"You shouldn't provoke me Mr. Javier, what you are planning won't work on me. Both my bodyguards caught the person who's tailing me all this time." The two look at her in surprise. "What's his name again? Jin Carson? Thanks to Margarette I didn't need to hire someone just to know his identity."
Georgina look at Marga who's standing on the same place from before with head bows down. She grit her teeth.
"What did you do to him? What did you f*cking do to him?" He grab her collar, stares at her with those intense mad glare.
"You shouldn't act this way if I am you," she chuckled. He tightened the grip on the collar before he push her away.
"Where's Jin? Tell me where is he?
"Bring him over here," she mandated the man in black.
After a few seconds, two man came inside holds the almost unconscious man. They push him on the floor without any hesitation. It's Jin Carson, there's a bruise on his face even the side of his lips are bleeding. Giovanni kneel down to help him get up but Georgina is standing still on the same place, clench both fist tight, it almost left a mark on her palm. She bite her lower lip until it bleeds.
"V-Van... I-I'm sorry,"
"You didn't do anything wrong..."
"This is what you get from provoking me, you should learn your lesson. What you are planning will never happen anymore." Coleen said out of nowhere that made Giovanni and Jin look at her.
"Y-you..." Giovanni's about to came towards her but Jin stop him, shrugs his head. 
"Y-you are the worst of the worst," Georgina mumble, she silently walk towards her. Marga saw what she's about to do and rush towards them and receive the slap for her Auntie.
"Argh! G-Gina... You shouldn't do this..." She said while holding her left cheeks.
"What's this? Are you trying to raise your hands on me again Georgina?" Her mother chortled out gives a disbelief look.
A silence lingers on the living room, no one talks but stares at each other. A tear falls down to Georgina's eyes non stop. She wants to end all of this, those thoughts is the only resolution runs to her mind. It's still not clear for her why this thing happens but one thing makes sense. Once she's gone from these people sight then everything will go back to normal again. A slight bitter smile escape her mouth because of the thought. She start to walk towards the vase displayed on the corner of the house. Without any word or hesitation, she break the vase that startled them. She pick up the most sharp pieces of the broken vase and walk back.
"G-Gina, what are you going to do with it?" Marga asked but she push her aside, walk straight to her mother.
"Here." She give the sharp piece of the vase to her. "It's better this way, you're eager to make my life a mess, right?"
"Of course I am,"
"Use it to end everything, if you're still not satisfied then come with me on the next life. Let's finish everything there,"
"Is this a new plan? You'll sacrifice yourself to make me a murdere—" she grab her hand and pointed the object on her neck, there's no hesitation or emotion on her eyes. "Wh-what..."
"Kill me... This way I will become more miserable..." She blurted out while tears falls down.
