chapter 22-plan gone wrong...for good?

Cameron's P.O.V. :

"Mom, you were super amazing today. I didn't expect you to act so well. For a minute, I too got carried away by your acting." I couldn't hold back my excitement.

I hugged my mother tightly. As we parted away from our hug, I could see a confused look on her face as if she didn't understand any of the words I blurted.

What happened to her?

Why does she look confused?

"What are you talking about, Cammy?" she asked, confused.

"Mom...now you don't need to act in front of us. Jason, doctor and I know everything. We are all together in this plan." I said looking at the men and smiling.

"Mrs. Parker...this is what I was trying to tell you since I've examined Mrs. Adams and read her report." Doctor spoke, worriedly.

"Yes, darling! You need to hear what Mr. Smith got to say about your mom's condition." Jason said, concerned.

"What are you guys talking about?" mom said, slightly irritated.

I looked at my mom and then back at the men who looked worried.

"Mrs. Adams, you need to take some rest. Mr. Adams and your daughter-in-law along with your granddaughter will come to meet you in a few moments." doctor said helping mom to lie down on the bed comfortably.

"Yes...tell them to come fast. I have so many things to talk to them." mom said smiling and then closed her eyes to take some rest.

What's happening? Why is mom behaving as if she has really forgotten things?

"Mrs. Parker, please come with us. We need to talk." Doctor said.

Jason and I followed him to the study room.

*****

"Now tell me. What happened?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"Honey, the thing is that..." Jason was afraid to complete his sentence.

"What is it, Jason?" I was totally tensed now.

"First come here and sit down." he said as he made me sit on the sofa.

"Actually, Mrs. Adams really got into an accident. She's not acting, she has really has the memory loss and have started imagining things." the doctor said.

What?

"But...when...how?" I started crying.

"Calm down honey. Please don't stress yourself. You'll stress our baby as well." Jason said giving me a tight side hug and wiping my tears.

"But...It's all my fault, Jason. I planned everything and now look what happened to mom. It's all because of me." I said looking at my husband with teary eyes and guilt in my voice.

"It's not your fault honey. It was a bad omen which has passed now. It was just an accident." Jason tried to console me.

It's all my fault.

Flashback...

"Mom, see what you need to do is to just cry loudly as if in pain. Then we all will come running to you and see fake blood on your head. Then we'll call Dr. Smith; Jason's friend, who will examine you and inform the whole family that you have had some sort of memory loss. Shany will surely come panicking. And then when Lara will come today for the piano lessons, you'll start addressing her as your daughter-in-law. This will leave everyone shocked. Then Dr. Smith will inform Shany about your condition and advice him to do as you say, that is, to accept Lara as his wife and act like loving couples." I said feeling proud of my plan.

Mom looked at me in total shock.

"Cammy, I didn't know that you were this good at making plans. I'm proud of you." Mom said hugging me.

"Thanks mom. I am your daughter, of course I'll have some qualities of you in me. Thanks to my genes." I winked.

"That's like my girl. But do you think that our plan will work?" She asked.

"Of course, mom. See what exactly will happen is that for your health and happiness, both your husband and son will do everything that is in your favor. They'll agree to whatever you say. And as for Lara, you know that she's kind and warm hearted girl. She'll agree to it too. And when they'll start living together, we won't have to do anything. The intense chemistry between them would do everything." I said keeping my hand on her shoulder and giving her an assuring look.

"So I don't really need to get into any accident, right?" she asked, nervously.

I could she was uneasy by the thought of accident.

"Of course not mom. You just need to cry out as if in pain and then pour fake blood around your forehead to make it look real." I said rubbing my hands on her shoulders to make her relax.

*****

"It's my fault and my stupid plan's fault." I said, sobbing.

"Not at all, honey. Don't blame yourself. What's done is done. Now it's pointless thinking about it. Just let everything happen the way it's happening. Now your work as a cupid is over. It's time that Shane and Ms. Jones fall for each other out of destiny. If they are meant to be with each other then they will be with each other and if they aren't then nothing in this world can bring them together." Jason said looking into my eyes.

"But you know how Shane is. He won't let love enter his life." I said.

He and love are the repelling forces. They never meet.

"I know how Shane is. This is why I am saying that now no one needs to do anything to make the love arrow hit him. I guess your brother has already started developing feelings for her. I can bet you on this." he said, confidently.

I just nodded my head and smiled slightly.

Lara's P.O.V. :

"Behave properly in front of mom, Mrs. Adams." my fake husband said, grinning.

I could clearly see that he was enjoying all this drama. He was enjoying teasing me.

"Yes, of course, Mr. Adams." I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.

We were standing in front of Mrs. Adams' bedroom and preparing ourselves to face her.

"So you're ready, Mrs. Adams?" he asked taking my hand into his.

I took a long breathe and nodded my head.

"And you, young lady?" he asked turning to the other side where Cara was standing holding his other hand.

"Yes, daddy!" Cara said, excitedly.

"My daughter is a better actress than my moody wife." he said turning to me and giving his irritating smirk.

"You...!" before I could say anything, the bedroom's door opened.

Who opened it?

Argh...Cara! Always excited for acting and playing her roles. I am not ready yet with my character. Cara.

"Oh my, lovelies!" Mrs. Adams exclaimed, happily as soon as she saw us entering the room. Her eyes glistened with tears of joy.

"Grandma!" Cara squealed happily and climbed the bed and sat beside her.

"My granddaughter!" she said and hugged her lovingly.

"...where were you all this time? Your old grandma was waiting for you." she said kissing on her forehead.

"I was playing with mommy and daddy." she replied.

Really Cara? When did you prepare all these lines?

Mrs. Adams looked up at me and Mr. Adams and then to our hands. We both had held each others' hands. She smiled looking at them.

Damn Lara!

Seems you really enjoy holding his hand...

No!

"I am really happy that you both have sought all the differences between you." she said looking at both of us, smiling.

"Yes, mom. Now I know that fighting with your love is the worst thing ever. Right, honey?" he asked turning to me. He then then brought my hand to his mouth and kissed it.

Please don't make me nervous, Mr. Adams or I'll forget my lines. Please let me concentrate. I am not good at acting. Not at all!

"Um...uh...yes!" I said trying not to make it obviously that I was nervous. But, clearly I was failing at it.

"Guys, now go to your bedroom. Let your mother have some rest." Senior Mr. Adams interrupted. He walked inside the room with some medicines and a glass of water on a tray.

"Honey, it's time to take your medicines now. Doctor said to make you take your medicine on time.And I am not going to accept any kind of delay in it." he continued, putting the tray on the side table.

"But I want to spend time with my son and daughter-in-law and also with my little granddaughter." she said making a puppy face.

"Mom...dad is right. Health comes first. We are not going anywhere, we are here in the mansion. Call us whenever you need us." Mr. Adams said taking her hands in his.

"Okay, boss!" she said, mockingly.

"But after I wake up, I want everyone at the dinning table. I want to see my family together. Now my family is complete." She said wiping the tears formed at the corner of her eyes.

"Of course, mom." Mr. Adams kissed on her forehead.

"Come on, sweetie! Let's go now. Grandma needs rest." I said carrying Cara in my arms.

We all left her bedroom and walked to the living area.

******

"Ms. Jones, since we have no other option but to act as a family so I want to you and Cara to shift to the mansion." Mr. Adams said, dialing some numbers on his phone.

"I don't think it is necessary, Mr. Adams..." I was cut off by him.

"I am not asking for your permission, Ms. Jones. I am just informing you..." he looked up from his phone to me.

"...I have already texted my men to bring your stuffs here." he stated, firmly.

Our stuffs? From our apartment? What the...?

"How dare you? How can you make your men enter my apartment without my permission? And how did you get the keys of my apartment?" I asked, glaring at him.

What the hell does he thinks of himself? He should be thankful to me for helping him and Mrs. Adams and here he is ordering me. He didn't even ask me before sending his men to my place. And from where the fucking hell did he get my apartment keys?

"I have connections, Ms. Jones. And talking about intruding into your apartment...I don't think if your apartment even has a single thing worth more than my men's suit. So don't worry, they won't steal anything from your place." he said as he sat on the couch.

Was that an insult?

This man has the nerves to insult me! How can he say something like that? My apartment got nothing more worthy than his men's suit?

Like seriously? I work day and night to payoff the rent of the apartment and here he is saying that it is worth nothing.

"That was offensive, Mr. Shane Adams." I said, furiously.

He stood up and walked towards me.

Stay away!

He closed the gap between us and then grasped my waist suddenly. I was caught off guard when he captured my mouth with his. The kiss wasn't a passionate one once again. He bit my lower lips and entered my mouth. I didn't give into him. I tried controlling myself but failed when he kissed me more fiercely. Finally, I surrendered because I was getting weak on my knees.

But why is he kissing me all of sudden? Is it again some kind of dare ?

I tried pushing him by hitting his chest but damn! His chest is so hard like  a rock. He deepened the kiss. I felt like I will collapse any moment now.He held me tight to support my weight.

Thankfully!

I tried speaking into the kiss but was unable to speak because he was kissing me really hardly which made the motion of my mouth difficult.

After sometimes which felt like an eternity, he released my lips and we parted from the kiss. We both were breathing heavily.

I looked at him furiously. I could see that he enjoyed our kiss session. I distant myself from him because we were standing really close.

He winked and threw his smirk at me.

Creep! Brute! No guilt at all like the last time.

"How dare you?" I raised my hand to slap his face but he caught it and pulled me towards him with a lot of force which made me crush into his wall like chest.

Ouch! His chest is really hard.

"It's not the quality of a good and loving wife to hit her husband for kissing her, Mrs. Adams." he whispered into my ears.

I shivered because of his closeness. He had his one hand on my waist and the other on my back just below the neck.

"What are you saying?" I looked up at him with questioning eyes.

"My mom is watching us from her window. So stop reacting and start acting like a wife." he whispered again and kissed on my cheek.

He released me from his grip and I could feel my face getting red. I was blushing. Well not exactly blushing but something like that.

I looked up to the window but there was no one at the window.

Where's she? He told me that she was watching us then where is she?

"There's no one on the window, Mr. Adams." I said, confused.

"She's gone. She was there a moment ago." he said looking everywhere but me.

Really?

Don't forget to vote!
