Sienna POV:
The unknown guy removes his face cap, and I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my mouth as I trembled on my feet.
I murmured. “What?”
I glanced at Margaret and caught her smiling to herself. “What are you doing here, Patrick?” I growled at him and then he smiled.
“I'm here so serve as the only proof to the whole family” he replied dryly as he looks at everyone faces. Everyone were already standing on their feet, watching the whole drama with keen interest, including few maids.
“Tell me you are joking, Patrick” I made to charge towards him, but Margaret stood between my way. “It's over Sienna, just let him speak” She said with a light smirk lingered on her lips.
She turned to Patrick and beckoned to him to start talking, and I could feel my heart drop.
Is this really happening?
“You can't do this to me, Patrick,” I told him, and he bowed his head slightly.
“I'm sorry, boss, but I need to do this” He replied warmly, I gritted my teeth in annoyance.
Margaret retuned to her seat and gestured everyone to also take their seat… But I didn't budge, I just kept shooting her some death glare as if it could possibly kill her right now.
“Take your seat, Sienna” Micheal roared, but I just shot him a glare before turning to Margaret again. “Mom, just come seat already” Jason pulled my hand from behind as we both returned to my previous seat.
“So, what do you have for us, young man?” Micheal demanded, and Patrick adjusted his short and stood properly.
“I've been working as a spy for Mrs Sienna for the past few years,” He started, and I swallowed.
“And concerning the threatened letter Mrs Margaret received times without number from the anonymous, I was the only person sent to drop them in her mailbox” He confessed and everyone gasped lightly as they all exchanged a look, except for Margret who gave me a lopsided grin.
I slowly lowered my gaze as I stared at my fiddled fingers. “She would instruct me on how to write the whole letter and I will go drop it afterwards,” he says as he pointed at me on my seat. I wiped the sweat formed on my forehead.
“She's also responsible for the brake failure of your car five years ago” he added as he turned to Rodney and I could feel my heart sank.
“What?” Rodney bellowed, and they all sprang to their feet, excluding Margaret, though.
Michael placed his hands on his shoulders to calm his nerves…” You won't get away with this,” he growled and finally returned to his seat.
Jason just stared at his feet, not sparing anyone a glance.
“I thought you said she's your boss, then why did you reveal her secret?” Michael asked Patrick immediately he took his seat.
He smiles and glanced at Margaret on her seat.
“This woman sitting over here is a life savior” he said, and I also looked at him. What does he mean?
“A Few years ago before I started working for Mrs sienna, my only sister ran into a car and was rushed to the nearest hospital,” he started, and we all stare at him as he speaks.
“The doctor said her condition was critical and needs to undergo brain surgery; I was so helpless, I was jobless at that moment; my sister was my only hope, she did all the necessities in the house and everything. The hospital demanded a lot of cash, I mean, how do I go about it?” He continues, and I watched as everyone held this sympathy look except Margaret,
“I was in my deep thoughts with tears in my eyes when I had bumped into Mrs Margaret on my way out of the hospital. I apologized and walked past her but to my surprise, she called me back and asked me what my problem was and without hesitation, I narrated everything to her without hiding anything” he narrated.
“She stared at me for a few moments before digging her hand into her purse and fetch a checkbook together with a pen. I just watched her as she scribbled on the checkbook, she teared the part and gave it to me. 'That should take care of your needs' she said, and my eyes dilated when I looked into the check. She turned to leave, but I quickly grabbed her by her kneels- she told me it was nothing, but I didn't mind as I kept thanking her”
“I watched her back till I couldn't see her sight again, who was this angel? I thought and promised myself that I will do everything in my capability to help her no matter the case” he concluded, and they all breathe out deeply.
“Sienna, are those accusations true or false?” Michael asked calmly, and I couldn't help but shoot Patrick death daggers.
So, he has been seeing Margaret all this while?
“Answer me!” He yelled and I flinched.
This won't be good.
I got on my feet in a swift, “Yes! It's true,” I yelled to their faces; denying everything would be effortless now.
“Margret was the only person you gave all the attention to, you never treated me like the mother of your child and that was what prompted me to do so,” I rasped and Jason stood up and moved closer to me.
“Mom” he cooed.
“Don't touch me, it's all good now. You told me you never liked Rodney that I should do something about it but now, you guys are going along well, right?” I shot at him.
“But I never asked you to do something like this, mom,” He retorted, fiercely. “You and I both know I love Rodney very much until when you made me believe he will be the only heir to Dad's fortune and I will be left out” He said in annoyance through gritted teeth and gasps echoes in the whole room.
“It's fine now Jason, just step back” Michael dragged Jason by the arm.
The entrance door opened, and some cops stepped in. What's going on?
They walked up to us and bowed lightly.
“Good day to you Mr. Michael and everyone” Their team leader greeted. “Here's the culprit” Michael pointed at me and my eyes widened.
“You can't do this, Michael,” I pleaded as I watched one of the police walked up to me and handcuffs me. “Of course I am doing it, take her away,” He ordered. “Jason, please beg your father” I pleaded with tears this time around, but he just looked away from the face.
“Michael!” I screamed,, but the police only pushed me lightly out of the building.
This is awful.
Margaret POV
“You know you should also be arrested, Patrick” Micheal said sternly, immediately the cops took Sienna away.
“Of course, sir” He replied with his head bow, and we all erupted in laughter. “Thank you so much Patrick, for saving my mom's life” Rodney appreciated as he turned to Patrick on his seat.
“It's my pleasure” He replied with a smile,
“We will forever be grateful to you” Tamara added with a smile, and he nodded.
“I still have another confession to make,” I announced, and they all exchanged a brief look.
“What's it, Margaret?” Michael asked with fear boldly written on his face, and I gulped nervously. I look at everyone's face as it all speaks 'tell us'
You can do this Margaret;
They should all know what you've been keeping to yourself as long.
“I'm not Rodney's real mother,” I confessed while I lowered my gaze. “What?” They all shrieked at the same time.
