my hands dropped when I read Nina's last statement and I couldn't just help it but to shout "more, more, more, moooooreee updaaaaaateeeesss. ironkurtain, I bow head o. thanks for those lengthy, interesting, captivating updates. well done sir. bt y did u let dat happen to Lisa nau *sobs*
I feel sorry for Lisa, it all happened due to her foolishness or should I say stubbornness. if Angel champions himself as a demon its because he has never seen d true colors of d devil (Eric). But will Eric ever accept Nina as his mother. I don't think.

nellyme, seconded, I also support dat it should be moved to front page. aw was ur day.

where is page 9

i went through the updates again and I was forced to ask dis question "what happened to our likes". Clicking 'like' after each updates will do us no harm. Even if u can't comment, y don't u encourage him more with ur likes. I am really sure u guys re enjoying d story. ironkurtain did not ask for it.....just my opinion tho.

Mzzkismet I'm good, ma day was busy and power filled. Hope u r good too.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN.


Nina removed the ice pack she had on her face and gave it to Eric who was sitting beside her. He took the pack of ice and pressed it against his left cheek and grimaced. He sighed and touched the cut on his other cheek.

"I don't believe you", he murmured and looked at Nina. "How will i know this is not one of your scams?", he asked.

"Aw come on.......even that madness we displayed minutes ago would have convinced you", Nina replied. "We are both crazy.......am a crazy woman and you are crazy boy.....the thing is you were too blinded by your hatred for me to see that we are the same".

"Woman, we are not the same", Eric murmured. "I'm not crazy and I'm not like you".

"Really?, now tell me how we are not the same?", Nina asked with a smile.

Eric looked at Nina surprisingly. "You are a killer!......", he exclaimed. "You torture and kill people and i heard you do it like it's some kind of a hobby".

"Of course i kill people....i admit it. But they all had blood in their hands and none was innocent. They all deserve what happened to them", Nina said. Then she eased closer to Eric. "Remember i told you that i did my investigation......and i found out that whenever that woman you call your mother seem to have a problem with anybody, something strange happen to them".

Eric remained silent.

".........the drugstore owner had his shop burnt down.....", she continued. "What did the furniture shop owner say to Esther that had him almost beaten to death in his own house and his shop burnt to the ground?. Oh and that story about a masked guy entering a bus load of a high school football team and taking all of them out with a baseball bat after the rumours about them molesting a girl was circulating. Even though they got what they deserved for whatever they did, the person metting out those punishments is definitely crazy.....don't you think so?".

Eric rested his back on the sofa back cushion, still pressing the ice pack against his face. Then he looked at Nina.

"If you claim to be my mother, then who is my father?", he asked her.

"Your father......", Nina began and smiled with a distant gaze. ".......he was such a lovely man. I always regret why i left him.......but i had to do that for his own safety", then she looked at Eric. "You have his eyes and his composure......i also heard he had being good to you".

"Good to me?, what do you mean?......who are.....", Eric paused for a few seconds and glared at Nina. "Barry Philips?!", he asked aloud.

Nina nodded.

"Oh God!......but that man is married to Agnes", Eric said and looked away. "How did you.......", he paused and looked at Nina again. "It's you.....you are the woman he was talking about.....", he said to her.

"What do you mean?", Nina asked.

"You are the woman he always wished to meet again.....", Eric continued. ".......the person he wished he was married to, instead of that woman called Agnes".

"Did he say all that?".

"That man loved you so much......But you left him".

"Look, i didn't just leave him.......it was a complicated situation".

"Yeah sleeping with a married man", Eric scoffed. "So how did i end up in my mother's hands.....i mean Esther's hands?", he asked.

"I don't know......i think you have to ask Esther that question", Nina replied.

"What do you mean you don't know?.......she claimed that she stole me from you and you are telling me that you don't know how it happened?".

"I don't know because i didn't even know that you existed!", Nina retorted. "I thought it was only Alex, but i didn't know that i had twins".

Eric stared at her with his mouth open and gasped as he looked away. Nina got up and picked up the phone and dialled a number.

"Yeah.....i want you to bring her to the living-room", she said to the phone mouthpiece and dropped it on the table.

Then she went behind the counter of the mini-bar and took out a bottle of brandy from the liquor cabinet. She glanced at Eric and took two glasses.

"When she comes......", Nina began as she poured a shot on both glasses. "......you ask her to tell you the rest of the story".


************************************************


The big man in black suit opened the door and politely motioned at the living-room. Esther glanced at him as he turned around and left. She went inside and looked around the place as she paced quietly; not being sure why she was brought there. Then she saw Eric sitting on the sofa.

"Eric!!", she shrilled and rushed towards him as he got up.

Esther almost knocked him down as she threw her arms around him and gave him a tight hug. Eric winced with pain and tried to breakaway from the hug.

"My son, are you okay?", she asked. Then she saw the cut on his cheek and some blood stain in his nostril. "Oh my God what happened to your face?", she asked as she examined the cut. "What did that evil woman do to you?".

"The evil woman didn't do anything to him".

Esther heard Nina's voice and turned her head. She saw the woman in the mini-bar making a toast and sipping the drink. Esther glared at her with alot of anger while Nina smiled at her.

"What did you do to my son?.....", Esther began angry as she made a move to go and confront Nina.

"No...no mom.....", Eric grabbed Esther's arm and gently pulled her back. "You don't want some of that woman........believe me, she is more of a monster than human".

"Eric let me go!!......", Esther protested. "Let me teach her a lesson!".

"Mom.....calm down please!", Eric tried to calm her down.

Nina picked up the bottle of brandy and two glasses and came towards them.

"Woman, you need to listen to him", Nina said and placed the bottle and glasses on the centre table. "And he has questions that you need to answer", Nina stood infront of Esther and stared at her.

"Why don't you go burn in hell!!", Esther spat and threatened to hit Nina.

"Woman, if you touch me, i will send you to that hell first", Nina warn with a cold, stern voice.

"I will happily go there as long as i put you there first....evil b!tch!!".

"Alright you two women shut up!!", Eric bawled and got inbetween Esther and Nina before they could start tearing each other apart.......or rather before Nina kill Esther. "Calm down and let's settle this mess going on here".

"What is going on here?!".

The three of them heard the voice and looked at the direction where it came from. They saw a boy standing at the door and staring at them. Eric and Esther stared at him with their mouth open while Nina smiled at him.

"Hello Alex......are you back?", she said to the boy with open arms. "I want you to come meet someone here", she beckoned at him.

Esther glanced at Eric and stared at Alex in bewilderment. Eric stood with arms akimbo stared at him as he slowly came over to where they stood. Then Alex hugged Nina and looked at her face.

"Aunt Helen what happened to your face", he asked. Then he glanced at the broken flower vase and disorganized furnitures. "What happened here?.....who are these people......who is this boy?", Alex asked and stood infront of Eric as he stared at him with alot of curiosity in his face

"Aunt Helen?.......", Eric chuckled and glanced at Nina. Then he looked at Alex. "Hm.....so you are the one called Alex, huh?", he asked.

"Are they......twins?", Esther gasped as she gentle sat down with a thoughtful gaze.

"Twins?......", Alex muttered and looked at Nina. "Aunt Helen, what is going on here?......who is this boy?", he asked again.

"Dude.....even me myself don't even know who this boy is", Eric said to Alex and tapped himself on his chest. "I thought i knew, but now am as surprise as you are".

Alex glanced at Esther and Eric. "Aunt Helen, please tell me what is going on here", he asked without looking at Nina.

"Her name is not Aunty Hel.....", Eric began.

"Shut up your mouth i didn't ask you!.....", Alex interrupted him rudely and glared at him.

Eric chuckled and looked away. He suddenly grabbed Alex and fell him down with a headbutt. Then he grabbed Alex by his shirt and heaved him up and raised his hand with open palm to smack him on his face.

"Hey!.....boys!....Eric enough of that!", Nina barked. She separated them and pulled Alex away while Esther got up from the sofa and held Eric.

"I'm the one who took care of all the bullshits in your pathetic life......", Eric barked at Alex as he felt his face and stared at Eric with fear. ".......the bullshits that keep happening because you were so much of a coward to face it and chose the easy way out......by the way your suicide letter sucks so bad that nobody will come to your burial if it was read".

"Eric!....will you shut up your mouth!", Nina warned.

Esther looked at Nina. "That job....was it to make Eric impersonate......Alex?", she asked.

"Yes of course!......just that. But the id!ot went about rattling people's cage", Nina retorted.

"But why?",

"What do you care?"

"I just want to know why", Esther's voice was calm.

Nina pursed her lips as she thought for a while and looked at Esther.

"Before i tell you why, you have to tell me how you got Eric and why you adopted him", she said.

Esther looked at Nina and nodded. Then she sat down on the sofa and sighed.
