43- Everything is perfect
" I just asked for your protection" said Jade.
"And baby you know yoy always will have it" Said Jhan.
suddenly Everth just appears in the kitchen.
I see you're pregnant, congratulations, you got what you wanted and I'd say I'm sorry for
your husband, but I'm not really sorry.
Katlyn was surprised by the young woman's attitude, when had she become so harsh and
cruel? She was no longer the silly, shy redhead she had known.
"I guess I'm a little to blame for her being like this now" She thought.
-I didn't want to start there, but this baby isn't Sebastian's, it's Alan's.
Helena began to giggle, first shyly and then losing all embarrassment, releasing a loud
mocking laugh.
-You really are unbelievable Katlyn, you say I'm a slut and it turns out you were.
Katlyn said nothing, she knew she was right.
-So you got away with it," she clapped her hands sarcastically, "Now that your husband of
convenience is dead, you have no problem being with his brother and let me guess, it's a
boy," she said pointing to her swollen belly.
Katlyn looked down, she didn't need to say "Yes" for Helena to know it was.
Helena clapped again, but this time she got up from her seat to do so.
-I congratulate you, I really do, you've won Katlyn, now you'd better go," she exclaimed
angrily.
-Wait Helena, that's not why I came here.
-And what did you come here for? To apologize for how hard you made my life? I don't care
anymore, I'm really trying to move on with my family and seeing you here doesn't help me.
-I know you're not going to forgive me, but I don't want you to live without knowing the truth.
Helena folded her arms and sat back down on the couch.
-It's true, I was coming to apologize to you too.
Helena rolled her eyes.
-I've been a bitch to you, I know it's no excuse, but I was jealous of you, Sebastian was dead
for you, I noticed it from the first moment I saw you two in the elevator, I knew there was
something and I was foolish to believe that someday he was going to love me like he loved
you.
-Katlyn... I don't really care anymore, it's true that I loved Sebastian, but since I learned the
truth I've just been trying to stop loving him and move on with my life.
You mean about his death?
Helena bit her lip hard, trying not to release a moan of pain.
-Don't tell me you don't know?
-I... I don't know what you're talking about," the blonde exclaimed sincerely.
Helena laughed and wiped away the treacherous tears.
-I guess you were blinded by his deceit too, Katlyn... Sebastian was a monster he .... he
raped me that night of your bachelorette party, my girl is his daughter....
Katlyn was silent, and Helena began to think she had spoken too much, she was destroying
the idealized image of a dead man.
-Helena...
-It's okay if you don't believe me, I don't intend for you to.
-No Helena, listen... it wasn't Sebastian.
-What are you talking about? And what do you know?" she exclaimed angry, getting up from
the armchair, followed by the blonde who also got up, "Don't want to defend him just
because he's dead, he did it...".
-It was Alan Helena," she exclaimed with pain in her words.
Helena looked at her and blinked several times, as if she was trying to understand what that
woman had just said.
-What?
-Yes, Helena.
-No.
-Helena
-No," she exclaimed, shaking her head strongly.
-Sit down please," he exclaimed trying to grab her arm to make her sit down again.
-Don't touch me!
-It's okay," she raised her hands in the air, "Please calm down.
How do you know that? Where did you get it? Are you kidding me?" she shouted starting to
hyperventilate.
-Is everything all right Helena?" asked David leaning out the door.
-Go away, David, please stay out of this," she exclaimed, not mincing her words.
-Helena," repeated the blonde, "I know because he confessed it to me and not only that...
there is something else you should know.
-Something else?" she exclaimed with a smile full of pain.
-I was the one who drugged you that night, I was so angry with you, I thought it would be fun
to see you playing the fool in the middle of everyone, I never thought that after....
Katlyn couldn't finish speaking, because Helena gave her the slap of her life, turning her face
to the side.
Helena's hand began to form on her cheek like a red mark.
-Son of a bitch.
-I know, I am. But I don't want to be that resentful woman anymore- she exclaimed calmly- I
just wanted you to know Helena, not to hold a grudge against Sebastian, he was a great
man, the bad ones have been Alan and me, but not him, I think I always love you. I'm sorry
your baby is not his- she exclaimed touching her own belly.
Helena fell back on the couch, realizing that she had felt safe in the knowledge that her
abuser was dead and would never be able to get near her daughter, but now it turned out
that he was alive and could show up at any moment and want to take her away from her.
-No... it can't be..." she denied, unwilling to accept being in danger again.
-If you have any samples of Alan, anything at all, you can do an analysis to confirm it- he
began to speak, sitting down next to the redhead- I can bring you something if you want my
help.
"The dress and underwear" Helena thought as she remembered she still had them with her.
Katlyn stood up, seeing that she wasn't going to answer her.
-I just wanted you to know the truth," she exclaimed approaching the door, "I'm really sorry
for everything that happened, but I hope you'll be happy.
Helena didn't answer, still staring at the floor in shock.
-Please leave, I hope your child won't be like his father. Raise him well," Jade said looking right Helena eyes
