I didn't put it off, for Amber's sake I needed to get it over with.
"That's a lovely necklace Cindy." I started my attack, her accomplice tried to slither away but I nipped that in the bud.
"Don't take another step." I moved farther into the room.
"Colin." Mom started to question me at my tone but I stopped her with one raised finger.
"Where'd you get the necklace Cindy?"
"Donald gave it to me of course." She moved closer to her husband placing her hand on his chest.
"No I didn't Cindy, how could you?" He moved away from her, I'd had him ask her to wear the necklace under some guise or another. Nothing that would cause suspicion.
"I have no idea what you're talking about if you didn't buy it then I must've bought it on one of my shopping trips."
"Isn't that grandma Stewart's diamond necklace?"
"Yes it is mom."
"Well then obviously Donald must've given it to her."
"No mom, Donald got the sapphires and I got the emeralds remember?"
"Oh yes that's right, what's going on?" She held the baby closer as if to shield him from what was swirling in the air.
"I repeat Cindy how could you? When Colin first told me about this I couldn't believe it, I mean I've always known that you were a vain greedy bitch, but I thought I took pretty damn good care of you. So tell me why you would join with someone else to destroy my brother's life, it can't be about a piece of jewelry, not even you can be that greedy."
"Why should she have anything of ours? Who is she but a little nobody that he picked up on the beach? Why should the rest of us have to accept him shoving her down our throats? Tell me Sarah, do you think the ladies of the garden club would welcome the little nothing with open arms? She has no pedigree..." "You were Trevor Dunlop's whore for two years before I met you, who're you trying to kid? Oh yeah you didn't think I'd ever find out about that did you? Well a few of his buddies were only too happy to tell me about your days with him. Let's just say the only reason I didn't throw your skanky ass out of my house is because of my daughter, but this, this takes the cake. You fucked with my little brother."
"I'm your wife don't think for one minute..."
“Save it, your bags are being packed as we speak, you're no longer welcomed in my home and my daughter stays with me of course."
"Over my dead body." She was stubborn to the end.
"That can be arranged." I pulled my brother back, as much as I'd like to belt the bitch I couldn't let him do it. Oh the irony.
"Would someone please tell me what is going on?"
"Sure mom, it seems that when I brought Amber home she posed some type of threat to Cindy, what that is I haven't a clue other than she's a narcissistic bitch. Anyway she and Jocelyn cooked up a scheme to get rid of her."
"What?" She sounded like she was choking. Dad who had been quiet throughout this whole thing went to her drawing her close as she swayed.
"It gets better, to frame her and make a sap out of me they pawned my portion of grandma's jewelry using Amber's name. At the same time they convinced her that I was engaged to Jocelyn, which is blasphemous as far as I'm concerned. Listen to me for the last time Jocelyn, I told you years ago and I told you after Amber was gone and you tried to slither your way into my bed, not now not ever. I wouldn't fuck you with a plastic dick bitch."
"Damn that's cold bro." Terry was finally heard from.
"You two are pathetic, you know you give blondes a bad name, because contrary to cult myth blondes are far from dumb. But then I look at you two rejects and I have to wonder. Then again oops...being a bottled blonde doesn't count, my bad." My sister had a way with words didn't she?
"I don't have to stay here and listen to this." Jocelyn tried once more to leave the room but I waylaid her.
“I'm afraid you do, you see what you two did is considered theft and since the merchandise was worth millions not to mention the pieces that the wicked witch kept for herself you're looking at ten years easy."
"What? You can't...Sarah you can't let him do that, I was only doing what I thought was right. I mean everyone was always saying how perfect Colin and I were for each other, I thought it's what the families wanted."
"I don't even know you son hurry up and finish this so I can get this trash out of my house. I'm taking my grandson upstairs with his cousin I've had enough." She walked over to Amber and hugged and kissed her.
