100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 815  Confrontation with Vincent

Day Eighty-Seven…

~~*****~~

Jane was utterly shaken by this truth. All this time she thought Mia was her child. She didn't expect that this was one of Vincent's tricks.

'He is so despicable for using a child like this.' Jane narrowed her eyes as her grip on the phone tightened.

"Your silence means you finally realized the truth." Monica's mocking voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Now, just go back to Nathan. Stay away from my man!" Monica added. She was rejoicing inwardly. She could already imagine Jane's current expression.

'Haha. I'm not yet done with my surprise. I still have other plans for her. I will do anything to stop her from marrying Vincent.' Monica felt like she finally got even with Jane for stealing away her man.

But to her surprise, Jane refused to comply with what she wanted.

"Monica. Listen to me, carefully." The seriousness in Jane's voice caught Monica's attention. She stopped laughing as she listened to her attentively.

"Well. Let me hear it. So what are you going to do now?"

"It's just simple. Since you stole my identity, I will do the same. I don't care if Mia is not my daughter. I will still marry Vincent. And you won't be able to have him. He will be mine… forever." Jane just said those words to provoke Monica. Deep inside, she was already cursing Vincent for telling her another lie.

'Damn you, Vincent! How could you play with our feelings like this?' Jane clenched her fists.

Meanwhile, Monica was enraged by Jane's declaration.

"Are you crazy!!! You are still going to marry after knowing all this!" Monica couldn't believe it.

"Yes. I'll give you my invitation. You are free to attend our wedding ceremony." Jane pretended she wasn't affected by Monica's revelation at all. She just continued making her jealous by using Vincent.

"I am warning you, Phantomflake! You will regret this. Just you wait! You will never marry Vincent. I will make sure of that." Monica declared with so much conviction and threat.

Jane didn't say a word as she ended the call. She wasn't afraid of Monica's threat but she was bothered by this new discovery.

'I want to confront Vincent about this. But… it might affect my plan to catch Monica. What should I do?' Jane was in a dilemma.

She became so quiet during the entire duration of the wedding dress fitting. Mia caught her spacing out from time to time.

"Mommy, are you tired now? Shall we go home?" Mia asked her worriedly.

Jane just gave her a faint smile before nodding. Mia immediately grabbed her hand, leading her out of the shop.

'Who is Mia's mother? How could Vincent deceive this sweet innocent child? I feel sorry for her.'

Phoenix escorted them to the car. When the two settled inside the car, Jane closed her eyes. Her mind was still in chaos. Before she knew it, a single tear had already fallen from the corner of her eyes.

'My baby is gone. I can't bring him back to life.' Jane felt so sad and disheartened. The longing for her dead child resurfaced once more.

Jane covered her eyes using her elbow to hide her tears from Mia. She tried to calm her emotions during the trip back home.

Soon, they reached Vincent's secret villa. Vincent had been waiting for the two on the balcony. His eyes sparkled in delight when he caught a glimpse of Mia and Jane.

Vincent stood up and approached them.

"Daddy!" Mia ran in his direction and pounced on him.

Vincent lifted Mia, hugging her. "How's your day?" He asked, fixing his gaze on Jane.

Jane stared back at him sharply. She didn't respond to him.

"Mommy looked beautiful in her wedding dress. I hope you see her." Mia was the one who answered Vincent.

Vincent smiled broadly, imagining Jane in her wedding dress. He nodded in agreement. "It's true. Your mommy is so beautiful… in whatever clothes. I can't wait to see her." Vincent looked at her with his dreamy eyes. He was looking forward to their upcoming wedding. He made sure that no one would ruin it so he instructed his men to guard the venue and tighten the security.

"Can we talk? Alone." Jane suddenly blurted out.

"Of course." Vincent put Mia down. "Go and take a shower first, Mia. Your Mom and I will just talk."

"Okay, Daddy." Mia complied with his request. She said goodbye to Vincent and Jane.

When they were left alone, Vincent guided her to the garden area so that they could talk in private.

"What do you want to talk about, Jane?" He asked her softly.

Jane squinted her eyes as she looked at him. She didn't bother to hide her frustrations and displeasure toward Vincent.

"I know you lied to me. Mia is not my daughter." Vincent was taken aback when he heard that.

"What are you saying? Where did you get that idea? I've already proven to you that you are both blood-related." Vincent was calm and composed as if he didn't do anything wrong. He wouldn't admit his wrongdoing.

"Vincent, how will you justify this? I have a medical record of my pregnancy before. I had a son… not a daughter. Mia is not my child!" Jane sternly said.

"Do you take me as a fool? Your scheme is not foolproof." Jane added, her eyes set ablaze.

Vincent was at a loss for words. He didn't see this coming. He started to be anxious.

"Believe it or not, Mia is your daughter! She is your daughter. Why don't you want to believe that? Are you just denying this because you don't want to marry me?" Vincent grabbed her shoulders tightly. Jane glared at him because Vincent continued to lie.

"Don't worry. I will still attend our wedding ceremony. I am just here to confront you, giving you one last chance to be honest with me. Stop using Mia. Stop lying to me, Vincent. Mia deserves to know who her real mother is."

Vincent shook his head in disbelief.

"Who told you this?" He had suspicion.

"Monica. She told me everything. She even asked me not to marry you. She told me that you were just using Mia to deceive me."

Vincent clenched his fists and his face darkened at the mention of Monica's name.

'So… it's Monica. She is so determined to ruin my marriage with Jane. I won't let her.'

"Like I said… I will still marry you because of our deal. But let's clear this. Mia is not mine. Right?"

Vincent looked down. He didn't say a word. The two became silent for a long moment. Little did they know, Mia overheard their conversation. And she was totally shocked and heartbroken. She immediately ran away with no clear destination in mind. The poor little girl was crying.
