Stitching a Path to Vengeance: The Rise of Lucia Montess Chapter 45
As soon as the convoy of cars stopped at the enormous and magnificent mansion, Mr Palma took a deep breath of the fresh and natural air which he had missed for the past one month. Almost immediately, the gate was open and the cars drove in to meet all the workers lined up in their working outfits and waiting for Mr Palma’s return. “Good day Sir. Welcome back home” they all chorused in uniform rhythm. After this came an organized disembodiment of the workers as they all swiftly and carefully carried in the luggages to its prospective place of belonging. “Home sweet home” Mr Palma mumbled to himself as he took one more look at the mansion. Even though he had just enjoyed a very luxurious vacation, nothing beat the comfort of his home with family surrounding him. “I ordered the maids to prepare a light meal for you so you won't get too filled for dinner. We'll be throwing a lavish welcome back feast for you” Mrs Lilian announced excitedly. She seemed to enjoy every passing second wit

The dinner consisted of different varieties of exotic dishes which were covered with transparent glass plates. It wasn't really exciting for Wilson due to the fact that he considered the whole thing as a waste of effort and food. “All these for three people?” Wilson questioned the cook. The question however was answered by his father. “I forgot to tell you son, we're expecting guests” Mr Palma announced in a not so exciting way which Wilson found suspicious. “And by guests, who do you refer to?” Wilson asked his father. “You'll find out in the next few minutes” Mr Palma said before completely taking his gaze off Wilson. This was one thing Mr Palma did whenever he took a decision which Wilson wouldn't normally accept. Wilson however decided not to act rash and wait up for whoever and whatever was coming. Soon enough, the visitors arrived. Wilson's mom and dad left the dinner table to give the visitors a proper welcome, while Wilson stayed out without moving an inch. The few mome

“I'm sorry, what?” Wilson retorted, his annoyance turning to surprise. “You seem to quickly forget things. I thought you would recognize me the moment I got in, but I was wrong. Thank you lucky stars your mom volunteered for you to follow me, if not, I would have visited you later at night” Lisa said in the most soothing and romantic voice, her fingers moving around Wilson. “What are you trying to do?” Wilson asked as he shook off Lisa's hand in disgust. “Ugh, it's me, Lisa. Don't you remember your middle school crush and prom date?” Lisa asked, visibly pissed off. And so it hit Wilson. It was no wonder the name and face felt familiar to him. Never did he imagine facing his childhood crush and disappointment in such a way.Wilson attended the same middle school with Lisa, who was back then the most popular girl in school. Wilson was among the popular guys and had ladies crushing on him, but his whole attention was on Lisa. In that context, he asked her out to be his date for prom

Lisa on her own part felt totally humiliated by Wilson. She was left to pick up and escort herself back to the dining room. The older adults who had been discussing ever since noticed how long the younger adults had been gone. Mrs Lilian volunteered to go search for them, but was stopped by Mr Palma. “Just leave them alone to catch up with lost times. Even if they get dirty, it is to the benefit of both companies” Mr Palma whimpered from his cavity. He was proved wrong in a few minutes when Lisa stormed into the room with a face full of tears and smudged makeup.“Lisa! What's the matter” a surprised and concerned Mr Albert asked his daughter. “I want to leave this house this instant father” Lisa announced, very much to everyone's surprise. “But why? What made you cry?” Mrs Lilian asked. “That should be who, and who else if not your disrespectful, violent and mannerless son. He had the audacity to strangle me” Lisa shouted, pointing her index finger to the slightly red fingerpri

Everything seemed to have frozen as Lucia came face to face with Mrs Katie. The suspense at that moment was intense, and for some seconds, Mrs Katie seemed to have forgotten she was under labor. The two young women stood looking at themselves without saying a word, and it took words from people around before they could say anything. “Do you know her Lucia?” Jada asked as she looked at her daughter's frozen face. Mrs Katie's relatives also asked the same question.“She's the lady I told you all about mom. She's Mr Henry's wife” Lucia responded softly. In the midst of contractions and pain, Mrs Katie was able to give her companions an answer. “She's the daughter of the man who Henry accidentally murdered,” said Mrs Katie in a low tone. She wasn't proud of what her husband did, and it showed in her body language that she wasn't comfortable. She swallowed harder than usual, and her whole face was full of beads of sweat. “I'll suggest you go deliver your baby Ma'am. You must be in so

Lucia woke up in the middle of the night looking like a zombie. She had slept really late due to her being restless and regardless of that, she couldn't sleep peacefully. She woke up twice more, and in each instance, she would take a good look at Jada who slept peacefully and had hardly moved while sleeping. She was happy with the development, but at the same time jealous of how her mom was so relaxed. Every single sound made from external forces seemed like the sound of metal and sand clashing at each other. It got to a point when Lucia couldn't take it anymore. She got up to carry out her early morning chores as early as 4:00 AM, and decided to watch TV when she was done. Mrs Benita was the first person to wake up amongst the adults in the house. “I could've sworn the tv wasn't on before heading to bed” Mrs Benita mumbled as she approached the TV stand. “Good morning Mrs Benita” Lucia greeted with a faint voice. This frightened the daylight out of Mrs Benita who let out a

The next morning, all the occupants of Mr Thomas's house woke up early with heavy faces. It was worse for Jada whose face was seriously swollen from excessively crying. Lucia had tried her best to calm her mom down, and although Jada had promised to stop crying, Lucia could still hear her sniffing silently. Lucia during her call with Clara had asked for helping hands on preparing for the burial, and Clara who came back the previous night was already knocking on the gate as early as 5:30 am in the morning. Mr Thomas and Mrs Benita had a surprise up their sleeves, and this was revealed when Lucia heard a car honk almost immediately after Clara came. At first, Lucia didn't believe that a car would be at the gate at such an hour. Clara was already around, and Mrs Luan had already promised to come directly to the crematory. However, the honking persisted, and with Mrs Benita's consent, they both went to check up on the surprise visitors. Mrs Benita acted as surprised as Lucia, but l

Everything needed for the cremation ceremony, from picture, to the food, to the dress and mood was all set. Everyone left Thomas's house at once and to one destination - the crematorium. They were then led to the booked room where an officiant was already waiting for them, with the casket placed in front of the room. The officiant was the one in charge of leading the crematorium service which started at exactly 10:20am. Mrs Luan and her son were able to meet up with the service which didn't last for long. The officiant led the cremation service by first reading some scriptures which had been selected by Jada. After that followed an eulogy written by Jada and Lucia. Lucia went first to lay a supportive ground for her mom who would be the second person. Lucia's speech went like this;"Dad, my hero, my guiding light... I'm standing here today, trying to find the words to say goodbye. Your sudden departure has left me and Mom with a pain so deep, it feels like our hearts are shattered

The ‘feast’ mood in Lucia and Mr. Thomas seemed to have vanished into thin air after the unsettling encounter with Wilson. While Lucia wrestled with thoughts about what she had done to deserve such an experience, Mr. Thomas, on the other hand, couldn’t stop thinking about the court case. Although the legal matter didn’t really concern him, he had grown attached to Lucia, considering her like a third daughter, even though they had only known each other for a short time.They were both so absorbed in their thoughts that they didn’t realize when they had arrived at their destination. It wasn’t until the taxi driver’s persistent voice brought them back to reality.“Hello? Can you hear me?” the driver called out, slightly annoyed. “Huh?” they both muttered in unison, snapping out of their trance as they turned to face the driver who had been waiting for them to acknowledge him.“We’re here. Isn’t this where you wanted to go?” the driver asked, gesturing to the building in front of them.

As Wilson and Jimmy drove through the streets and back to the Palma mansion, the weight of their mission loomed over them. Wilson, with his mind racing through the next steps, broke the silence after it was observed for some minutes. “Tomorrow is a workday, but I'll have my dad and Sandra handle everything while I’m away. You and I will be visiting Miss Lucia. I need you to find her workplace and get back to me as soon as possible. It’s crucial that you gather all the information you can, and if necessary, use any means to get it. I expect a report before midnight.” Wilson uttered, calculating the magnitude of his every word before saying it out.Jimmy, though used to Wilson’s demanding nature, was surprised by the urgency. He glanced at the clock on the dashboard to be sure of the time, and sure enough, it was late. “Tonight? But it’s already late, Sir. People might not be willing to talk at this hour as they may be packing up their shops or finding their way home” Jimmy explained

Lucia's fury surged as she picked up the empty bag, her hands trembling with anger."What is the meaning of this?" she demanded, her voice cutting through the noise of the market like a sharp blade. She had reached her breaking point."Get out of my sight, asshole! Just leave me alone. My life was going just fine until you interfered," Lucia spat, her words filled with venom as she swung the empty bag at Wilson. The bag, light and harmless, did little to physically hurt him, but it was the gesture that carried the weight of her frustration and pain.Wilson, caught off guard by the sudden attack, instinctively raised his arms to protect his face, which was his number one priority.Jimmy, who had been standing nearby, sprang into action. "Woah, woah, woah, take it easy, ma'am. You're hurting my boss," he shouted as he rushed over to Wilson's side, quickly grabbing the bag from Lucia's grasp. His loyalty to Wilson was unwavering, but even he could see the intensity in Lucia's eyes.Mr.

Lucia had successfully poured out her heart to the citizens who were available to hear her. The open speech she made had captured the attention of many, spreading like wildfire across social media. Afterward, she went on with Mr. Thomas to pick up whatever they had planned to get at the market. Her emotions were still tingling from the confrontation, but she politely requested to be shown the full video of the press conference that had triggered her anger in the first place.As she watched the video, her fury reignited. "I can't believe this guy," Lucia muttered under her breath, her voice shaking with emotion. "He has all the money and fame, and he uses it to manipulate people, to turn them to his side. Meanwhile, people like me are left to suffer alone. He tried to bribe me with that money, but he sure has his way of sweet-talking out of trouble." Lucia’s voice cracked as she spoke, her anger mingling with the sadness she carried within her. The injustice of it all seemed unbearab

Wilson and his dad, Mr. Palma, were already halfway home when Wilson’s phone rang. The name “Sandra” flashed on the screen, and Wilson’s brow furrowed in confusion. Sandra rarely called outside of work hours unless something was truly urgent. They had already wrapped up the day’s work, so this unexpected call felt unsettling.He hesitated for a moment, his thumb hovering over the answer button before he finally picked up. He then remained silent, waiting for Sandra to speak first, a habit he had developed in dealing with unexpected situations.“Sir, I’m so sorry to disturb whatever you’re doing, but you need to see the news. Miss Lucia is at her worst, causing a lot of issues. Live videos of her are currently circulating online, and she’s talking about you,” Sandra’s voice was tinged with concern.Wilson felt a cold shiver run down his spine. Lucia, again? The memory of their last encounter still lingered in his mind, and now she was publicly speaking about him. His pulse quickened, b

Lucia and Mr. Thomas had decided to stop by one of the busiest and most popular sub-streets in Chicago, a place well-known to the city’s middle class and poorer citizens. They needed to pick up a few things for the family.Earlier on the train, they had excitedly planned a mini feast to celebrate a successful deal with Mr. Benson. The feast was only possible if they visited the market, so they had made a quick detour before heading home.Mr. Thomas, who was such a sweet gentleman, respected the “ladies first” rule and allowed Lucia to lead the way. She walked ahead, her thoughts clouded by the discussion with Mr Ben, while Mr. Thomas followed closely behind. As they entered the crowded market, the usual bustle and noise surrounded them. The scent of spices mixed with the smell of fresh produce was everywhere, while vendors called out to potential customers, their voices competing for attention. Lucia had always found this part of the city oddly charming, despite its chaos. But today

“What can I get you Sirs?” The young and pretty waitress asked with a warm smile as she approached the table where Mr. Palma and Wilson had settled in the elegant restaurant. The place was all polished wood, ambient lighting, and the kind of atmosphere that invited deep conversations.“Well, I'll be having the macaroni and brie with the crab. Top that with a sweet and tangy sauce which you think would be best to go with the meal. I'll also have the cauliflower steak with hazelnut and browned butter. I'll have two portions of that,” said Mr. Palma, taking the lead with his eyes scanning the menu one last time before handing it back to the waitress. His voice was calm and measured, as if he had all the time in the world.The waitress nodded, jotting down his order with swift, practiced movements. She then turned to Wilson with the same polite smile. “And for you, sir?” the waitress asked, in expectancy of a reply. Wilson glanced at the menu briefly before responding, “I'll go with th

“Wow, son! You did a better job handling that question than I had imagined. I thought that lady had you trapped in a tight spot, but you proved me wrong,” Mr. Palma said to his son when they both returned to Wilson's office. His eyes twinkled with pride, the kind of pride that only a father feels when his son rises above expectations. The echoes of the press conference still rang in their ears, but Mr. Palma was more focused on the fact that Wilson had displayed his critical thinking skills perfectly and at just the right moment.“Well, thank you, Mr. Palma,” Wilson responded, his voice carrying a mix of relief and pride. “That reporter had my weakness pegged and made sure everyone knew it. It really took a lot of brainwork to wriggle out of that one, but what can I say? I’m your true blood,” Wilson added, with a touch of humor.As they settled into the office, Wilson’s thoughts began to wander. It wasn’t long before he noticed something—or rather, someone—missing.

“Really? But why? I’m sure Mr. Wilson would like to stay in his lane to protect his esteem, at least after what I did to him,” Lucia said confidently. She knew to an extent that Wilson wouldn't change his proud and arrogant ways, especially not for her. Calling her would be hurting his pride. Mr. Benson’s response surprised her. He chuckled softly, shaking his head in understanding. “You mean the little act of flinging cash in his face? You don’t understand what someone like Mr. Wilson might do to protect his reputation. People in his position can be incredibly ruthless. They might go as far as kidnapping you if things don’t go their way. The rich aren’t like they are portrayed on TV. They’re often a mix of crazy lunatics and ruthless individuals who use their wealth to maintain their facade. You only see their dark side when you become an enemy or a significant annoyance. I strongly advise you to stay cautious. Avoid going out at night and stick to well crowded places for your own
