"David Delafrente?
As in 'The' David Delafrente?"
Mike uttered

"The one the only."
David replied

"We heard rumors of you but it was believe to be a myth of Don Perico!!"
Mike replied

"And a myth it shall remain.
Now you seem to have cross paths with two dangerous woman, your lucky to even be alive right now!!"
David stated

"Wait, your saying they are two different persons?"
Mike asked

"I grew up as an orphan before I know my parents were alive, I was forbidden to even be born.
My mom was a maid for the Delafrentes and My dad the Boys; could not openly own me.
As such I was placed in an orphanage until I was eighteen I got adopted where I learnt that the man who adopted me was in fact my real uncle.

My stepmother however learnt of my existence and stopped at nothing to find me to end my existence, but we heard not of her once I took over the business.
It seems in her search for me she stumbled upon bellowsfield and met you, where you both had an affair with each other until you called it off."
David outlined

"Wait so your stepmother was Catherine?
Oh God, I was screwing the mafia's stepmom!!"
Mike replied

"As much as that might sound utterly disturbing, it really doesn't phase me.
I wished to see her dead, and now knowing that she is; that's all the comfort I wanna hear."
David replied

"So how does this Alena alias comes in?"
Mike enquired

"It's not an alias, as I made mention, they are two different women.
Turns out the Russians kidnapped one of my henchmen's daughter at a tender age and sold her to the Castellanos; the sister of that Bradley Bradshaw you made mention, he's really Carlos Garcia Jr."
David replied

"So you do know Bradley!!"
Mike uttered

You think I'd actually give out information like that to someone who just stumbled up in my city?
It turns out that abduction was actually orchestrated between my stepmother and her sister, Alena Briscoff."
David stated

"They're sisters?!!!"
David exclaimed

"Twins actually, no matter how many tests you do, it will always result as the same person unless you do a fingerprint test.

After you dumped Catherine, she went to her sister for help and they made a plan- to destroy everything  you love when all seems well.

It started with Catherine going to prison to give you the peace of mind that all is now over so her sister could begin her operations.
But from what I can see, after she got out and Renée wasn't dead, she got pissed at Alena for be ineffective, they fought and I guess you know how that turned out."
David replied

Mike was lost of words

"Here have a drink, you'll process this better."
You were simply caught in the crossfire of the wrong war my guy."
David replied

"This is unbelievable!!"
Mike replied

"Here you go, this is all I have on both sisters, their lives, their operations and all those who are under their payroll.
This should get you out of your situation.
My men will personally escort you home and unless it's an emergency, do not come back to Don Perico!!"
David replied

"Thank you!!"
Mike replied

"This is not common courtesy.
Our interest align because I want Alena of the board, otherwise you'd already been dead from downstairs!!
It's not mercy, just strickly business.-
David replied as he knocks him out

Mike woke up at the border of bellowsfield,
The pain in his head ringed,
He started his vehicle and drove back home,
He called Thomas and Brandon and told them to come alone.

Meeting up at his house he gave them the news and told them to keep what went down between us,
He wanted to involve Jordan and Henryy, but he didn't know who to trust.

The devised a plan, that just might work,
Even if it meant sending her six feet under the earth.

"You gotta do it."
Renée replied

"Are you crazy?!!
I'm not doing that!! You have no idea how obsessive and manipulating that woman can be!!"
Mike uttered

"Which is why this will definitely work!!
You know her more than any of us."
Renée replied

"Okay, so I'm lost.
What are we doing again?"
Michelle asked

"We're giving her what she needs."
Renée replied

"Are you sure about this approach?"
Brandon asked

"Listen, Mike tells her to meet up outside our house-"

"Outside our house?!!
Are you nuts!!"
Mike exclaimed

"Just hear me out okay.
So Mike tells her to meet up outside our house, he creates a scene as he's leaving-"

"Which would give the impression that he dumped you with the kids."
Thomas added

"Right exactly, the meaner the better, we'll be in tears and all; pissed at her but distraught over the whole situation.
He leaves with her, they sail off on the yacht where she will start to thank him for leaving us and he'll lead her on to confessing about everything in which we will be listening and recording everything that she says."
Renée stated

"Sounds like a plan."
Brandon stated

"I know right!!"
Renée replied

"You know what that sounds like?
Something exactly what Alena would expect!!"
Mike replied

"Not if you play your cards right!!
I can't believe I'm about to say this;
You have to be that nonchalant playboy once more."
Michelle stated

"You want him to be that dick again?"
Brandon asked

"Unfortunately."
Michelle replied

"Can't believe we're actually doing this."
Mike uttered

Thomas strung him up as Mike gave Alena a call,
She sensed it was a trap and for this she wouldn't fall.
30 minutes later, she pulled up outside,
And it was time for Mike to show his other side.

As he walked through the door, he could see she wasn't convinced,
He had to make her believe he was truly committed or like beef he would be minced.

Renée came out, hanging on to his shirt,
He slapped her into the door, he could see she was hurt.
He knew that he went way of script,

The kids were at his feed, for their mom they cried,
He kneeled down before them, looked in their eyes and shouted -
"I wished you all died!!"

Seeing that Mike's actions broke the kids to their core,
Alena knew Mike wasn't playing her anymore.
She ran and hugged him, telling him he had found his place,
But Mike was distraughted, as a tear trickled down his face.

As they drove off, Brandon thought that was too mean,
A cop car pulled up as Harry arrived on the scene.

"Renée!!
You okay?"
Henry shouted

"Henry?
What are you doing here?"
Michelle asked

"I got a report that Alena was in the area!!
Where is she?"
Henry asked

"She took off with Mike, we gotta get Renée inside, help me help her up."
She replied

The laid her on the couch, Brandon said she had a mild concussion,
Within the family, Mike's action caused a lot of disruption.

"What the hell was that!!"
Michelle yelled

"Michelle, calm down."
Thomas said

"Don't you dare tell me to calm down!!
What the hell was that?! We definitely did not plan this!!
And there he went slamming my sister's head in to the door like he's a maniac!!
In case you forgot, we're in this mess because of him and we have to bare his repercussions?!
My sister has been through enough, so don't you ever tell me to calm down!!"
Michelle shouted

"Wait, planned?"
Henry asked

"We staged their breakup so it would give Alena the impression that Mike left Renée for her."
Michelle replied

"Is that so? "
Henry softly uttered

"But now Thomas feels it must be a good reason why Mike did what he did!!"
Michelle replied

"Listen, I know Mike and no matter what, he wouldn't physically hurt Renée like that without some concrete reason, maybe he say something in Alena that we didn't see but for once, you gotta trust him on this one."
Thomas replied

"He lost my trust the moment he cheated on my sister."
Michelle sternly uttered

~Meanwhile in the other room~

"Easy, easy!!
You took quite a hit."
Brandon replied

"What the hell just happened?"
Renée asked in pain

"Mike went of the rails with his character; I told you bringing that douche bag back from the dead was a bad idea."
Brandon replied

"No it's okay I-"

"No Renée, it's not!!"
Brandon interjected

"Regardless of the circumstances, he shouldn't have slammed you into the door!!
For God's sake, he shouldn't have even treated you the way he did, we wouldn't even be in this situation."
Brandon replied

"No, it's okay.
I saw his face before his slammed me down, his eyes were filled with tears.
Something I haven't seen in him in such a long time, he was scared and hurt and above all; it showed remorse.
He wasn't going off the rails, he was ensuring that she gave into his character.

I'm not gonna say what he did wasn't wrong, but I understand why.
And maybe this his all his mess we are all living in-"

"Not maybe, it is!!"
Brandon interjects

"But regardless, I found you in the midst of it all.
And we haven't talked about this since we went out separated but I gotta let you know, you have been such a good man.
You were considerate, heartwarming, concerned and above all you showed me genuine love; and I'm happy you got to share that with Michelle.

You opened my eyes to what should have been, not what should be.
You were supposed to be with Michelle but you at to first find me.
Maybe Mike should have paid for his actions a tad bit more, but at the end of the day he became something I never thought he could be- Selfless.

It was no longer about his stupid ball game, or saving towards his yacht or giving in to lust, he now only cares about three things in his life;
If he was here he'd say You, I'd say Me and we'd both look at the kids and say Us.
It's kinda cliché but yeah."
Renée replied

"No!! No it's not!!
That's exactly what I stand for.
That's the very same reason I told you to go be with your husband in the hospital.
It's not that I didn't love you, but I'm all about morals, and to learn that you we're married and I'm the one treating you're husband, it just goes against my moral values just even thinking of being with you how that would  destroy not just your mendable life but that of your kids!!
I couldn't live with myself."
Brandon replied

"Michelle is so lucky to have you!!"
Renée replied

"I'm lucky to have her."
Brandon added

Renée smiled

"Renée you're awake!!"
Michelle replied
as she came through the door

"She'll be okay, she just needs some fluids and an ice pack for 5 minutes.
She'll be fine."
Brandon replied

They went on to talk about the actions of Mike,
Michelle started to expound on the things she didn't like.
Renée quickly intervened and rested assure,
That he did what he had to do, nothing less, nothing more.
They finally settled, as Thomas came around,
And allow them all to listen in on the audio he found.

On the other hand, Mike and Alena had just left the docks,
Alena began to laugh as Renée she openly mocks.

"Michael!! Please!!"
Alena laughed

"Like girl!! Get a grip, he was never yours!!"
She added

"I almost felt sorry for her, it's pathetic to even think we could have worked out!!
And those kids, those annoying kids!!
I'm just glad you opened my eyes and took me from that hell hole."
Mike replied

"I knew you'd come around.
We're finally living the life that live we've always dreamt of!!
Me and you just sailing away into the sunset leaving all out problems behind, I'm glad I took action for what really matters."
She uttered

"Come on Mike, get her to the point!!"
Thomas uttered in his ear

"I just can't believe you went through all those horrible events just to be with me."
Mike stated

"Didn't you believe me when I said I love you?"
She asked

"Come on, I know you and the last time I checked, you're not capable of love.
You're just deeply fascinated with having me all to yourself and the things I can do to you."
Mike replied

"You know me all too well.
What is it you wanna do to me Mr. Anderson?"
She asked

"Strangle you until your very last breath"
He thought to himself

"I wanna stuff you like a turkey on thanksgiving!!"
He replied

"Mr. Anderson!!!!
You talk to your mother with that mouth?
You know, now that I'm thinking about it, killing my sister was worth it; she couldn't handle all this.

It might be weird, knowing that I'm not actually Catherine and now that you're with her sister you might feel off, which is understandable but I assure you, I can love you way better than she ever could."
She stated

"Tell me, what's all the lengths you went through to secure this that we have?"
Mike asked

"You already know, why are you asking me this?"
She asked

"It turns me on just knowing how gruesome you are compared to how freaky you can be."
He stated

"I killed my sister after she got out of prison, I took out that assassin sent by the Castellanos, I knocked out that bitch you were bonded to and used her fingerprints and lipstick to frame her for Catherine's murder-"

"Which was brilliant by the way."
Mike replied

"Well thank you hun.
Stole money from that company of hers using her own credentials.
Oh and I orchestrated the attack on you, I'm sorry about that by the way."
She outlined

"We got her Mike, invite her back to the house where the entire PD will be awaiting to apprehend her."
Thomas whispered
though the earpiece in his ear

"How about we do one last thing before we leave for good?"
Mike enquired

"What you had in mind?"
She replied

"Let's kill them all!!"
Mike uttered

"Woah, that bold even for you."
She replied

If we're gonna leave and not return, we should ensure that there's no one to return to, don't you agree?"
Mike asked

"I like it!!
Not you orchestrating a murder, your just like me."
She replied

"Orchestrated?"
Mike asked

"Oh you thought I was the one who tried to strangle you?
Oh no my love, that's where my partner comes in."
She stated

"Partner?"
He asked

"Your dear friend -"

~Call comes in~

"Yeah!!"

"It's all staged."

"What are you talking about?"

"Mike, Renée, they all planned the breakup, he's been recording you the entire time.
The entire force of the Bellowsfield PD is situated within and around his home to apprehend you upon his arrival."

"He didn't!!'

"He in fact did, told you we should have killed her when we had the chance.
Should I go ahead and execute Operation: Briscoff?"

"Affirmative, I'll meet up with you in 30 minutes, this shouldn't be long.

~Call ends~

She slowly puts down the phone and make her way over to Mike.

"Who was that?"
Mike asked

"Does it actually matter?"
Alena replied

"I gotta know who my wife-to-be is speaking to and why she does want me to know, didn't you say you loved me?"
Mike asked

Alena smiled

"Wife-to-be...
You're a funny one Mike.
I can't believe I fell for all that.
What was I thinking?!"
She stated

"What are you talking about?"
Mike uttered

"Oh cut the crap Michael!!!
I know you staged this whole thing just so you could get me to confess to set your pathetic little wife free from all charges!!

But not to worry, what I have in store for her, she won't need charges!!"
She stated

"What have you done?!"
Mike exclaimed

"It's not what I've done, it's what I'm about to do.
And slowly but surely Renée will get exactly what she deserves!!!"
She replied

He began the strangle her, for her life she fought,
She had some evasive skills, you could see she was taught.
He hit her over, which shifted the wheel,
And the yacht sailed out of control, the very speed they could feel.

She bumped him on the head, but to her back she felt a shock,
As the yacht came crashing down into the docks.

Waking up a few minutes after, blood running down his face,
He could see Alena speeding off, like she was about to race.
He hopped in a car, determined even more,
According to the route, she was headed to Lakeshore.

Leaving the city, it was a full on chase,
Until she stumbled upon the vehicle, which her partner raced.
She stopped the car and ran into an abandoned supermarket,
Mike flowed her even though in Don Perico, Mike was a target.
It seemed her partner ran out of gas, hence he didn't make it to Lakeshore,
But as long as they executed their plan, it wouldn't be a problem anyone.

Walking into the building, it was cold and damp,
Trash and debris everywhere, even letters without stamps.
He was stuck in his tracks, he didn't know what to say,
As he saw what seemed to be a bomb strapped to Renée.

Mike opened fire, as he took cover behind a wall,
He started to sweat profusely, the whole world started to get small.

"You don't look too good Michael.
Is it because your wife is about to meet her impending doom or because of the crash where you got that nasty wound?"
Alena shouted

"You kidnapped my wife?!"
Mike shouted

"Actually, I did!!"
A familiar voice spoke

A gun was at his head, one slight movement and he knew he would be dead,
He was instructed not to turn around, he listen what he said.

He moved him up to Alena, who took the gun from Mike,
Who gave him the opportunity to see who kidnapped his wife.
Mike slowly turned around and he couldn't believe his eyes,
Knowing that they've been though so much since day one and now their friendship had died.
